"Wife, do you like the military?" Nan Mufeng asked, cleverly avoiding a direct answer.
Jian Xi thought for a moment and said, "I wouldn't say I like it."
"Then do you hate the military?"
"Not at all. The military is the guardian of the nation and its people. Only when the country is stable can our home be at peace," Jian Xi replied earnestly.
"So, do you want your husband to guard the country?" Nan Mufeng asked again.
"Protecting the country is everyone's responsibility," Jian Xi said without hesitation.
Once upon a time, that had been her goal, too. Although she wasn't part of the military and couldn't walk under the sun and work openly for the country like Nan Mufeng could, she too had been full of passion!
