My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1899: Not That Important

Lie Fengzi saw him smiling so brightly at her, her heart filled with joy, and she finally felt at ease.

He also said he wanted to repay her, was this a hint towards her?

This move was indeed the right one.

"Alright, mom, you all can go rest. Just call my adjutant to take care of me, no need for you to be so exhausted," Ji Lingkong said.

The councilman’s wife’s face suddenly turned displeased and she spoke with dissatisfaction, "That adjutant of yours, who exactly sent him to serve you? He is so irresponsible. When the officer went missing, he was indifferent. When the officer returned injured, he was nowhere to be found, utterly unreliable."

Then she smiled and held Lie Fengzi’s hand.

"He’s nowhere to be found, and the personnel in the military are scarce, making it difficult to immediately find a soldier to care for you. For now, let Fengzi take care of you. Don’t delay; you need to recover quickly."

Ji Lingkong’s brows showed a trace of surprise. Jiang Yang was nowhere to be found?

Although this adjutant did not perform very well, his actions were neither cautious nor thorough, but he was an enthusiastic person who did not slack off. Where did he go? It’s quite concerning! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Ji Lingkong looked up at Lie Fengzi, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"Alright, then I will trouble Miss Duchess."

Lie Fengzi was greatly delighted, unable to suppress a joyful smile at the corner of her lips. She didn’t expect him to agree, considering her long acquaintance with him; she understood he was a man who appeared polite but was actually indifferent and unwilling to casually get close to people. If someone was not familiar to him, he would not allow them to stay by his side.

Now that he said this, it meant he acknowledged her and had good feelings towards her.

This really was a great opportunity. Staying by his side to care for him, such an intimate chance to get along would surely make the relationship progress by leaps and bounds!

The councilman’s wife smiled contentedly, "Really, just call her Fengzi, no need for such formality. We’re all family here, and there’s no outsider present."

"Councilman’s wife," Lie Fengzi playfully scolded, then gently said, "I’ll go out and prepare some food. After being unconscious for a few days, you need to eat well."

After the two women left, Ji Lingkong immediately called his foster father, Halian Jing, with a voice that was stern and deep.

"What happened to me this time was not simple!"

The great councilman’s eyes were dark, and his usually unsmiling face was now filled with intense anger, "Are you saying someone schemed behind the scenes and tried to set you up? How dare they target my son; such courage! Who is it? What did you discover?"

Ji Lingkong was taken aback, not expecting him to be so angry, and felt a warmth in his heart. He also heard about how, after he went missing, the military didn’t promptly dispatch a rescue team to find him.

And as his foster father, Halian Jing, he didn’t put strong pressure on the military either. In truth, he could understand his foster father’s actions because, in the position of great councilman, there were so many considerations, and one couldn’t show special favor to his own son just because of power. Otherwise, people would accuse him of disregarding the situation and other soldiers’ safety by forcing them to take risks to rescue him.

Therefore, he could empathize with his foster father’s approach, but still felt lonely in his heart.

Because he too hoped for someone willing to save him unconditionally, regardless of everything, ignoring sacrifices, and not caring about others’ reactions, just out of a strong desire to save him, to see him alive.

However, it seems he’s not that important, and no one considers him that significant.

"Many fighter jets participated in the counterattack assault that day, but when I joined the battle."
