Chapter 176: Chapter 160 (Second Update)_2

"It was a little difficult at first, but now it’s fine," Jing Chen replied.

"That’s good." Old Mrs. Mei nodded. She was still a bit concerned about having Mu Lin living amongst all those men; she worried whether her delicate girl would be bullied.

"Actually, Mrs. Mei, you don’t have to worry about Linlin." Jing Chen seemingly understood the elderly woman’s worries saying, "At first, I was concerned too. But now... "With Linlin’s skills, there are definitely not many people in that military camp who can defeat her." Of course, if she could be a bit stronger, perhaps, even he wouldn’t be a match for her.

It seemed that he needed to step up his own training in order to protect his woman from being surpassed by Linlin one day.

"Skills?" The two elders exchanged a glance, "Is Lin that good?" Mrs. Mei had heard that once before, Mu Lin had beaten up the young master of the Li family and his two bodyguards. She initially thought those men were just weak.

Mrs. Mei knew that Mu Lin might have undergone some basic combat training, but to hear such commendatory comments from Jing Chen surprised her.

Jing Chen nodded, "One day I tried her skills. Aside from experience, strength, and endurance, I might have lost to her." At least when it came to speed, he had to put in great effort just to keep up.

When Ling Qi said he brought back a treasure casually, it seemed he really did hit the jackpot.

"Are you saying that you won?" Jing’s grandfather quickly noticed something.

Jing Chen nodded; he had won. Was that strange?

Of course... it wasn’t strange, but... "How did you win?" His grandfather was truly wise.

How else could he have won?

His grandfather sighed, let’s not ask anymore; undoubtedly, this stubborn, heavy-handed kid must have hurt his future granddaughter-in-law.

Ah, that hurts to think about.

Indeed, his grandma knew his grandson well enough. However, the fact that Mu Lin was still caring for this infuriating kid meant she wasn’t angry at him.

As long as she wasn’t angry, it was fine.

"You can’t win next time." Didn’t this kid realize that wives should be pampered? You can win against anyone else but you can’t beat your wife. Let alone hurt her.

Jing’s grandfather reduced the entire competition between the two to just child’s play.

Jing Chen side-glanced at him, "Why?"

Jing’s grandfather stated: "No reason."

"No." However, Jing Chen refused without hesitation. Before his grandfather could utter another word, he continued, "Linlin will get angry." He could tell from the competition that Linlin undoubtedly wanted him to give his all. Regardless, "Grandpa, rest assured, I won’t fight Linlin again in future."

Because he was afraid. Afraid that he might hurt her unintentionally again; he didn’t want to reexperience that suppressed painful feeling in his heart.

Only then did the old man nod in satisfaction, "That’s more like it." He didn’t want to lose the only granddaughter-in-law he approved of.

...

The training was in full swing. As expected, when the weekend arrived, all the new soldiers somehow felt that Ling Qi became more grueling in his training recently.

Did this imply... something big was about to happen?

But let’s put that aside for now. Trainees like Jing Youlan and the others got a day off this weekend. Some of those guys who usually got along well, including Mu Lin and her group, all stayed.

Mu Lin stayed because Jing Chen had contacted Ling Qi and told him to pick her up directly from here on Sunday.

She felt that he was being overindulgent.

Early in the morning, not only Mu Lin woke up early but everyone else did too.

"Why are you three girls up so early?" Hanging upside down on the horizontal bar, Yang Yuebin asked Yue Qiao sarcastically while looking at the girls. Judging by his proficient moves on the bar, it was apparent he spent a lot of time up there as punishment.

"Why not? You’re behaving like cops and robbers, always nosy." Having said that, Ye Xiwen huffed.

If those men could get up early, why couldn’t they? Their aim was to accompany Mu Lin and the others so they wouldn’t feel bored.
