My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots

Zhong Nuannuan nodded. "When he decided to bow down to KE and be controlled by them, it was already destined to be a tragedy."

Chi Yang sighed. "Yes."

"So, his death is at least something beneficial for you and for himself. You shouldn't be sad."

"I'm not sad because of him. Nuannuan--"

"Hmm?"

"Do you know how Qu Mingyi became KE's henchman?"

"I heard from Yang Min that it was because they were busy with work and no one cared about Qu Wei. Eventually, when Qu Wei was about three years old, KE captured him and threatened the couple. They gave in to KE for Qu Wei's sake."

"That's right. What do you think we should do if one day, one of us--or our child--got captured by evil forces and threatened?"

When Qu Mingyi asked Leng Jinpeng the same question after the explosion, Chi Yang answered his question without hesitation while Leng Jinpeng was still deep in thought. However, looking at Qu Mingyi's death today, the thought of Nuannuan being held captive, and he could not save her no matter what, flashed across his mind--that even if he died, he would not be able to save Nuannuan.

His entire body was riddled with bullet holes, and he lay dead on the ground. Nuannuan threw herself on his body with tears streaming down her cheeks. She kept calling him 'Chi Yang', but he could not respond to her anymore.

Eventually, the enemy charged forward. There was only emptiness in Nuannuan's eyes. As the enemies closed in on her, she pulled the pin of a grenade in her hand.

At that moment, Chi Yang felt like his heart was getting ripped apart.

The brief scene felt so real--so real that he could not brush it off as a figment of his imagination.

At this moment, he was afraid.

When he joined the military base and swore to serve his country, he was so ambitious. He felt that there was nothing more meaningful and grand than serving his country and the people.

However, now, after witnessing that scene, Chi Yang finally felt the presence of his own demons.

If Nuannuan was truly captured one day, and he still failed to rescue her even after giving his all, he could not just sit back and watch everything unfold, could he?

Could he just accept having sacrificed so much just to watch the person he loved most suffer when she needed him the most, and he was already dead? She ended up with no choice but to pull the grenade and get blown away along with his body.

Qu Mingyi's matter was all settled in fifteen minutes before he returned with Leng Jinpeng.

Since they were in a bad mood, they went back to each of their homes.

The reason Chi Yang returned so late was that he sat in the flower garden outside for more than an hour.

Nuannuan nestled against Chi Yang's chest and listened to his heartbeat. Her heart was filled with extreme satisfaction.

She had no clue that the scene that had suddenly appeared in Big Brother Chi Yang's mind was the final moment of their demise in their previous life. If she had known, she would have comforted him. She could tell him that those were just nightmares, and they were all in the past. In this life, they would be fine. The only one who would suffer was KE.

However, after going through her previous life, Nuannuan understood Chi Yang's words exactly because she had experienced them herself.

In her previous life, the person that Viper wanted the most was Chi Yang. She wanted to make Chi Yang her lab rat and put bugs into his head. However, Chi Yang chose the most dangerous way out. He would rather die than bow down to evil. Even though they failed in the end, Zhong Nuannuan knew that Big Brother Chi Yang did the right thing.
