Rich Young Mistress: Young Master Xie’s Dearest Beloved Wife
chapter-1562

Hearing Bai Yaoyao’s suppressing her coughs, Lin Pei hurriedly walked over and asked, “Elder Sister Bai, are your injuries acting up again?”

Bai Yaoyao waved her hand to dismiss her, saying, “I’m fine, don’t worry.” However, right after saying that, she started coughing again.

“How could you ask me not to worry about you? Elder Sister Bai, you’re in such a bad shape. You didn’t take care of yourself, and we’re so worried for you!”

Lin Pei was one of the soldiers who had gone to the South together with Bai Yaoyao. Back then, she had personally witnessed Bai Yaoyao cut the rope and fall off the cliff. They thought she had died right then and there, and they all grieved for her.

When they found out that Elder Sister Bai was still alive, all of them cried tears of joy.

Afterwards, Elder Sister Bai and the commander set off to find the spy in the North. Two strong individuals joined forces, with one of them led while the other fought.

Back then, Elder Sister Bai had displayed her fighting prowess, and the rest of them were utterly impressed.

However, Elder Sister Bai gave her all to fighting. Just like how she sacrificed herself at the cliff, she always put the safety of others before herself, and hence, ignoring her own safety.

Therefore, everyone respected her and thought that she deserved to be their leader.

Since Elder Sister Bai was always fighting on the frontline, wounds and injuries were all over her body. The commander was completely broken upon seeing it.

They still recalled when the commander witnessed Elder Sister Bai getting shot during a battle. The commander instantly became infuriated and lost his temper, frightening the rest of them. He then led the rest to kill all the enemies.

That time, the commander prohibited Elder Sister Bai from fighting. The two of them got into a fight, and she ignored him for some time.

During another battle later, the commander almost lost his life trying to rescue Elder Sister Bai, and she guarded him for two days.

That was the first time she saw Elder Sister Bai cry.

During this battle, all of them witnessed clearly how deep Elder Sister Bai and the commander’s relationship was. They seemed to be relying heavily on each other.

“Lin Pei, I’m fine. It’s the rainy weather that’s causing me some pain. If it can lead to the unification of Country X, it’s worth it.”

“Elder Sister Bai, don’t you think you should do something for yourself too?”

“For myself?” Bai Yaoyao pondered and shook her head. “It’s my dream to become a soldier. Back then, I already wanted to put on our camouflage uniforms. When I joined the forces, I knew that I would fight hard on the battlefield. I even thought that it’s fine even if I lose my life.”

“Elder Sister Bai, you’re so brave.”

“I’m not brave. I’ve merely experienced a lot. I’ve grown used to it.”

“But Elder Sister Bai, if something were to happen to you, the commander will be really sad.”

Thinking of Duan Yanhao, Bai Yaoyao’s gaze turned warm, and her heart shuddered.

Yes, she really couldn’t bear to part with him. Therefore, she fought for him and tried her best to protect herself.

Everything would be fine as long as she didn’t lose her life.

“The battle is ending very soon. We’re all fine, and that’s all that matters.”

“Elder Sister Bai, you’re the person I respect the most.”

Bai Yaoyao held Lin Pei’s hands and said, “When you find someone you love, you’ll understand what I mean. He’ll become a source of motivation for you, and I think that’s very normal.”

She thought that Duan Yanhao was the reason why she could realize her potential.

“Elder Sister Bai, tell me how you became so strong. Did you come from a military family too?”

Bai Yaoyao was startled. She didn’t have a home now, but she recalled her father telling her when she was a child that their ancestors used to be generals. However, they eventually lost their titles. Her father used to talk to her about battles in the olden days, and their study was even filled with books on military strategies.

“I had an ordinary family. I just read some books.”

As the two of them chatted, a car could be heard pulling up outside. Lin Pei chirped, “Elder Sister Bai, that must be the commander. I’ll leave now.”
