578: I Have Already Made A Lifetime's Decision

I Have Already Made A Lifetime's Decision

Shan Ning shook in anger. Jack was cold and cool. In other's eyes, he was clearly an aloof and cold man that was not interested in women. To Shan Ning, he was just a target he badly wanted to kill.0

Mu Yuan's face darkened. "Shan Ning, come up!"

Mu Yuan was a tender young man, and he was promoted to Major not long ago. It was very rare to have a twenty-three-year-old Major in the country. However, he had long accumulated influence in the army. Shan Ning gritted his teeth, went upstairs, and was immediately dragged into the room by Mu Yuan.

Little Tong Hua looked at Jack and said, "You've done something bad!"

"What did I do?" Jack replied.

"You don't know? But you've surely done something bad!" Little Tong Hua took a bite of his apple again while Jack hit him on his head.

"Little fellow, remember, when you meet the person you like in the future, don't chase after her relentlessly. You will suffer!" Jack said.

"I only like myself!" Little Tong Hua said and grumbled. "I don't plan to give my love to another person!"

"Many years ago, that was what I planned too!" Jack exclaimed.

"Your self-control is too weak then."

"You have to properly control yourself then!" Jack said.

Upstairs.

Mu Yuan was dressed neatly, as if he was wearing his soldier uniform. He meticulously buttoned up every button, while silently cursing Jack umpteen times. Shan Ning's face darkened, with a look of exasperation on his face.

"Yuan Yuan, are you really… crazy?"

"I'm not crazy!"

"You and he will never have an outcome."

"I know!" Mu Yuan said calmly. "He knows too."

"Then why are you still getting yourself into this mess!?"

"What do I have to be afraid of? Anyway, I don't plan to harm any woman in my lifetime, and I don't plan to get into any romantic relationship with anyone. I did not offend anyone and did not get in anyone's way. Why do I have to make myself suffer because of others' views?" Mu Yuan said resoundingly. "Shan Ning, you're my best friend, so I hope that you can keep this a secret. My parents and brother do not even know, and I don't plan on telling them either."

"You're only twenty-three this year. What do you mean by not planning to harm young women and not planning to get into a romantic relationship? You're still so young. You have a long life ahead of you."

"I have already made a lifetime's decision!" Mu Yuan said determinedly. "My life will be dedicated to my country, and I will devote myself entirely to my duties. With regards to the other matters, I will make the decision myself. No one can intervene!"

"Can you be more clear-headed!" Shan Ning said ruthlessly. "Even if you were to find someone, it must not be Jack! You and he are on opposite sides, politically opposite parties. You and he are natural enemies. This is a dead knot."

"We're still young, and it's inevitable for young people to be reckless. I always feel that no matter what challenges and what pressure there are in this world, we will be able to overcome them. Thus, naturally, why shouldn't we persevere? If there's one day we really cannot hold on any longer, we will then go our separate ways," Mu Yuan said. "I have nothing to be ashamed of before God or my country. I did no one wrong and do not need anyone to teach me how to be a person too. Shan Ning, I'm thankful that you're thinking for me, but on this matter, please do not interfere."

"You're really crazy…" Shan Ning's face was contorted in agony. "I… do you know I…"

His chest rose up and down rapidly, but he slowly shut his eyes again.

"Jack is a very good person," Mu Yuan said.

Shan Ning laughed coldly.

"Really. You haven't worked with him before, so you don't know. He is loyal towards his family, does things to his utmost ability for his country, and also is devoted to and always ready to help his subordinates. He started going through fire and water at the age of sixteen, achieved first class thrice in four years, and never once displayed cynicism because he was an Anderson. Even if he's a political enemy and even if we're born to be on opposing sides, a man like him liking me is something I'll be proud of forever!"
