Gu Jia Ning froze, recalling her months spent with Sheng Ze Xi. She chuckled wryly. Yes, under the same roof, and Xi Ge being a soldier, how could he not have noticed anything?
In fact, Gu Jia Ning had felt several times that she had almost been exposed, and Sheng Ze Xi had hesitated to speak.
At the time, Gu Jia Ning thought Xi Ge didn't know. Now she realized he simply didn't say anything, but he had always known.
Perhaps he knew she didn't want to tell him yet, so even if he had suspicions, he chose to ignore them and not ask.
Only now, when she proactively brought out such a special hemostatic bandage, did Sheng Ze Xi finally address the topic.
"Ningning, I didn't intend to ask, nor did I want to pry. I only need to know you're by my side."
"As for your unique qualities, tell me when you're ready."
"But, whether you tell me or not, I have a duty to protect you, Ningning. Don't forget, you are the wife I personally sought in marriage."
"I hope we can be together for a lifetime, and I hope you'll be well."
"So, keep those things that might expose you hidden, except in front of me. Even with me, try not to let me see them."
"Ningning, I know you're kind, but sometimes human nature is greedy. Regardless, my top priority is your safety."
Sheng Ze Xi's words warmed Gu Jia Ning's eyes, and she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms. "Xi Ge, you're so good."
"But, I can't know that you and your comrades might be seriously injured, or even die, and have the ability to do something but choose to ignore it. I wouldn't forgive myself."
Sheng Ze Xi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and asked, "You say this mission might result in serious injuries, or even death, for me and my comrades?"
"Yes," Gu Jia Ning answered firmly.
After a pause, Sheng Ze Xi asked, "Is this something you saw with your special abilities?"
"Yes," Gu Jia Ning answered without hesitation.
"Tell me what you saw specifically."
"Okay."
Then, Gu Jia Ning told Sheng Ze Xi the scenes she saw in her Future Scene Flash.
Sheng Ze Xi listened, his fists clenched tight.
He knew what it meant if what Ningning said was true.
That's something that will happen in the future, but Ningning saw it.
And if Ningning's ability were discovered, what would happen to her? Perhaps she has more than just this secret.
Sheng Ze Xi's expression grew heavy.
At this moment, he told himself that no matter what, he had to desperately try his best to help Ningning keep this secret, otherwise, he couldn't imagine the consequences.
He even had the urge to retire or transfer, taking Ningning away, but he knew that wasn't the ultimate solution.
Sheng Ze Xi forced himself to calm down.
He started analyzing what Ningning had said she saw.
In her vision, he would be seriously injured, and many of his comrades would die.
Why?
Was the mission leaked, or...?
Sheng Ze Xi didn't know the reason, but he knew he didn't want his comrades-in-arms to die. He was certain of that.
For Sheng Ze Xi, the comrades he had spent years fighting alongside were sometimes more important than his so-called family.
His comrades were all defending their country, and each of them had a family behind them.
Every time he went on a mission, Sheng Ze Xi only had two hopes: one, that the mission was successfully completed, and two, that everyone who went would come back.
Gu Jia Ning took Sheng Ze Xi's hand. "Xi Ge, promise me, put on this bandage. As long as you're careful, it won't be exposed. I believe in you."
"Besides, wearing it is just a precaution. It's best if it's not needed."
Sheng Ze Xi was silent for a long time, but finally chose to put on the bandage.
He held Gu Jia Ning in his arms. "Ningning, I thank you for my comrades."
Gu Jia Ning shook her head. "They are not only your comrades, but also soldiers defending our country. The peaceful life we have now is thanks to countless people like you. Knowing this in advance, how could I remain indifferent?"
Gu Jia Ning knew there was a risk of exposure, but she still did it.
She couldn't watch, knowing she had the ability to save the lives of those vibrant heroic soldiers, yet choose to shrink back and ignore it for fear of exposure.
She couldn't do that; it wasn't her.
Sheng Ze Xi hugged Gu Jia Ning tightly. Look, that's Ningning's kindness.
Although others said Ningning was spoiled, even pampered, Sheng Ze Xi knew she had the softest heart.
"Ningning, don't worry, I'll be careful. I'll do my best not to be exposed. I hope there won't be any unforeseen circumstances, but if there are, they'll have to step over my corpse first."
Gu Jia Ning immediately covered his mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with reproach. "Don't say that."
Sheng Ze Xi didn't say anything more, but what he said was his heartfelt truth.
He would use his life to protect his wife, to protect the person he loved.
Afterwards, Gu Jia Ning asked him how he discovered her special qualities.
Sheng Ze Xi mentioned several instances: Gu Jia Ning's unusual demeanor on New Year's Eve, her unusual demeanor when they returned home from the Qin Family Home, her unusual demeanor sometimes while sleeping or resting in the car, and some things that appeared in their home.
Gu Jia Ning realized she had unknowingly revealed so much, and Sheng Ze Xi was so observant.
Those situations he described were either when she entered the space to study or when she saw future scenes.
Gu Jia Ning only now truly realized how terrifying a person who could become a Military King for several years truly was.
Fortunately, this person was her husband, who loved her dearly.
But, what if this love couldn't last? Then...
Her past life experience suddenly made Gu Jia Ning anxious again.
【Host, don't worry. This Childbirth System has a detection and defense mechanism. Once the Male Owner changes his heart, and his love for you is no longer pure, everything about the Childbirth System and the Host's special abilities will be erased from the Male Owner's memory.】
Gu Jia Ning: It can do that?
Now, Gu Jia Ning was completely relieved.
"Right, Ningning, you were very certain that Li Shuyue was behind the hiring of the human traffickers. You knew that, too?" Sheng Ze Xi recalled the previous incident.
"Yes, I'm eighty to ninety percent sure, and..." Gu Jia Ning paused and said softly, "And I can be one hundred percent certain that Li Shuyue has blood on her hands, innocent blood, and she harbors great malice towards me."
As soon as Gu Jia Ning said that, Sheng Ze Xi's face suddenly darkened.
"I believe you. I'll have people keep an eye on Li Shuyue."
"
