Tomb Raider: Nine Gates Let Me Be the Group’s Pet

Zhang Zixi also turned around with a smile, picked up the juice on the table, and raised the glass to Jie Rong.

"You're welcome. Adjutant Zhang is my brother in the clan according to seniority, so I should call you my sister-in-law. He takes care of me on weekdays, so it's only natural that I should come to the wedding banquet today."

Zhang Zixi smiled and touched the cup to it. The two glassware collided and made a "ding" sound.

Xie Rong obviously did not expect Zhang Zixi to react like this. She was stunned for a moment, then drank the wine with a fake smile.

"Have you seen a doctor, sister-in-law? Is the fetus safe and sound?" Zhang Zixi walked closer and put her hand on Li Rong's lower abdomen.

Xie Rong stepped back and said with a smile, "Sister, what are you talking about? I am stupid and don't quite understand what you mean."

"My sister-in-law has misunderstood. I just feel that the current situation is uneasy and I am afraid that it will disturb the fetus. It would be more reassuring to see the doctor."

"I've already checked it, so don't worry about it."

"Whose doctor is it? There are a lot of fraudsters in this world, so you have to be clear about them. How about I find a doctor to take a look? It won't hurt to have more guarantees." Zhang Zixi still had a smile on her face, and she kept pressing Jie Rong who was retreating.

Xie Rong was forced to let go of Adjutant Zhang's hand and kept backing away, and as she pushed, she bumped into the long table.

Zhang Zhixi grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward, saying with a smile, "Sister-in-law, please be careful."

"I will go to the hospital with my husband to do some more examinations another day. Thank you for your concern, sister." Jie Rong lost her composure and hurriedly pulled Adjutant Zhang to another place. She also emphasized the word "husband" in front of Zhang Zixi.

Zhang Zixi let them go without even looking at them, but Adjutant Zhang kept looking back at Zhang Zixi.

"She is not pregnant at all." After everyone left, Zhang Zixi put down the juice and whispered to Chenpi.

"No?"

"Yes. I just grabbed her wrist to take her pulse, but that was not the pulse of a pregnant woman." Zhang Zixi answered affirmatively.

"So...pregnancy is just her one-sided story?"

"Not entirely. Master Jie Jiu is not a fool. It is impossible for such a big thing to happen just because she says it does. She must have seen a doctor, but that doctor must have had some problems." Zhang Zixi analyzed.

"She is good at planning. Her last name is Jie, so it's no wonder." Chen Pi sneered and looked at Jie Rong's back with his hands folded.

"Not really. Her little tricks cannot compare to Master Jiu's great wisdom."

"Then just find the doctor and ask him clearly. I'll investigate this for you, so you can do it yourself to avoid alerting the enemy." Chen Pi thought about it and decided to help Zhang Zixi find out who the doctor was that day.

"Okay. Thank you so much, Mr. Chen Si." Zhang Zixi smiled and pretended to bow to him.

"Don't give me that. It makes me upset." Chen Pi pushed her hand away, picked up the wine on the table and started drinking.

Although Xie Rong was temporarily married to Adjutant Zhang, after all the guests had left, the groom had not yet entered the room on the wedding night.

"Husband, why don't you go back to your room?" Xie Rong found Adjutant Zhang in the backyard and asked him, her hands were about to put their arms around his waist from behind.

"Miss Jie Er, you should know that I am only marrying you out of helplessness. You and I will never be husband and wife."

"Sooner or later I will find out what happened that night." Adjutant Zhang brushed Jie Rong's hand away and turned to look at her.

"You...you promised my elder brother and elder sister that you will never have anything to do with anyone other than me!" Jie Rong stared at him angrily.

"The only person I love will always be Xier. Just like I swore to the Buddha that day, I only wish to have her heart in this life." After saying this, Adjutant Zhang raised his foot to leave.

"In what way am I inferior to her? Tell me! Am I not as pretty as her? Or am I not as talented and virtuous as her? In terms of family background, my elder brother and Master Fo are both from the Nine Gates, with little difference. But I am more virtuous, gentle and charming than her, am I not?" Xie Rong was very confused about how she was inferior to Zhang Zixi, and shouted at Adjutant Zhang's back.

"You've already given the answer."

"As for what you call virtuous or gentle, I don't care. The one who will accompany me for my whole life is my love. I don't care what she is like, because I love her for who she is." Adjutant Zhang turned half of his body to answer her question.

"Although she is younger than you, she has always been upright, kind and virtuous, and she handles things reasonably. In this respect alone, you are very different from her." After saying this, Adjutant Zhang walked out of the Zhang Mansion without looking back.

He didn't want to see Jie Rong again, and he didn't want to go back even if he had to sleep on the desk in the military camp.

Of course, Xie Rong spent her first night of marriage alone in the red bridal chamber, secretly wondering how to keep Adjutant Zhang by her side forever.

"I heard that the adjutant went to the military camp after the wedding banquet last night and did not return all night." Yin Xinyue got up in the morning, washed up, sat beside the dressing table and chatted with Zhang Qishan.

"If you ask me, why is Jie Rong doing this? She clearly knows that he doesn't like her, but she still insists on snatching him away. Is there any use? Really."

"Alas... those two kids are suffering so much. When will this end?"

"Zhang Qishan, why don't we let that bad girl move out? I feel so uncomfortable when I think of her still being at home."

While Zhang Qishan was packing his luggage, Yin Xinyue started talking to him about her thoughts.

"If we chase her away, I'm afraid Master Jiu will have to come visit again." Zhang Qishan fastened the buttons of his military uniform and replied to Yin Xinyue.

"Ugh……"
