Marriage in crisis

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Xiang Dongsheng suddenly stand up and walk towards us along a row of parasols.

I quickly exchanged glances with Chi Xi, and my heart tightened. Could it be that he has discovered us?

It shouldn't be like this. At our table, he is familiar with Chi Xi and me, and the others should be strangers.

Chi Xi and I continued to eat our food calmly, listening to the conversation among the elders and secretly observing Xiang Dongsheng's actions.

He went straight to the stove, to pay the bill.

Chi Xi and I pretended not to see anything and continued eating our meal.

Uncle Chen greeted him with a smile. After he scanned the code, he paid the bill. I thought he would leave, but he suddenly changed direction and actually walked towards us.

I rely on...

At the table, Uncle Shen said something and everyone laughed. I started laughing too. When I raised my eyes, Xiang Dongsheng was already in front of us.

I immediately pretended to be shocked, looked at him and called out, "...to the secretary!"

Then I quickly stood up and said, "You...why are you here too? What a coincidence!"

But I was questioning in my heart, when did he discover us?

He smiled and nodded to the others at the table, then looked at me intently and said humbly, "Boss Lu, from a distance I thought you looked like you, you really are!"

"Yes! I brought my grandma and my family out to get some fresh air! They said that not only the food here is good, but the scenery is also pleasant!" I perfunctorily said, not telling the truth, and then asked, "What about you? Do you know this place too?"

"I'm here to see Chief Kang! To talk about something!" he said in an affirmative tone.

I pressed the issue, "Have you met him yet? When are you going back? We have a boat, so we can go back together!"

"I drove here! I parked at the pier outside the island!" He said with a smile, "Then you guys eat first, I have an appointment!"

"Okay!" I smiled and nodded to him, "Then you are busy!"

I acted as if I didn't want to bother you any more.

He smiled and nodded at our table again, then really walked towards the base.

Chi Xi and I looked at each other, a little doubtful. Was he here to see Kang Jianjun?

What is his connection with Kang Jianjun?

We kept watching his back as he walked slowly towards the base, and my heart was filled with more and more doubts.

Is he here to see Kang Jianjun?

Grandma looked at me and asked, "Who is this?"

I told her truthfully, "Mayor Lin's secretary, Xiang Dongsheng!"

While I was responding to my grandmother's question, I was also thinking about Xiang Dongsheng's words. He came to see Kang Jianjun. You know, this island is under military control. As the mayor's secretary, what could he have to talk to Kang Jianjun about?

Moreover, this place doesn't belong to Qingcheng at all.

I quickly took out my phone and called Wei Qingchuan. The call was picked up in seconds. I said, "Ah Chuan, I just met Xiang Dongsheng on the island. He said he came to talk to Kang Jianjun about something."

"Xiang Dongsheng?" Wei Qingchuan's tone was indeed somewhat surprised. "I indeed did not see him at the approval meeting this morning."

"Uncle Yu said he arrived on the island last night!" I said, "He didn't bring any luggage and came by land."

"Okay, I got it!" Wei Qingchuan said to me, "I'll verify it, you guys be careful!"

When Chi Xi saw me hang up the phone, he said to me directly, "I'll go over and take a look."

I looked at Chi Xi, "Isn't it difficult to follow at this time?"

Chi Xi stood up and patted me, "Don't worry! I have a way!"

After she finished speaking, she stood up and quickly walked towards the station.

Not long after, Wei Qingchuan called me back and said that Mayor Lin sent him to Lin City.

"Are we overthinking it?" I murmured, "What can Qingcheng have to discuss with the military-controlled area? Even if the area is taken back, it is not Qingcheng's turn to intervene!"

"Just wait and see!" Wei Qingchuan said, "No need to pay special attention!"

"Okay!" I responded and hung up the phone.

After dinner, Yuxiang volunteered to take everyone around the area, as she knew the place very well.

I was afraid that Chi Xi wouldn’t be able to find me when he came back, so I told my mother-in-law that I would take care of grandma and stay in the hotel.

My mother-in-law nodded in agreement and went for a walk along the seawall with Aunt Shen and the others.

I accompanied my grandmother and found a room to rest.

Chi Xi hasn't come back yet, and I feel a little worried.
