When Zhai Muchen saw the absolute trust that Han Ruochen had in him, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. He let go of her and shook his head. "Who told you that there is such a thing as an absolute good guy in this world?" Zhai Muchen realised that for some reason Han Ruochen had a lot of trust in him. She was blinded by the fact that he was a really good man and would never do anything to harm her. In regard to this, Zhai Muchen felt a sense of joy but also a little pressure. He was not that good!

As a soldier, he would of course never do anything to let down the uniform that he wore. However, at the same time, he could not understand where Han Ruochen’s trust in him came from. He had been responsible since he was a child; if something happened between him and Han Ruochen, he would definitely take care of her and marry her. But that doesn’t change the fact that Han Ruochen should be wary of him.

A man was a man in the end. She should be on her guard all the time.

"I know, but you are different." Han Ruochen did not know how to explain why she trusted Zhai Muchen. He was not like her, who was aware of what had happened in the past, when he had married another woman, and she had cheated on him because he couldn’t give her what she wanted.

Of course, this was not a surprising thing, as these instances were quite common. Soldiers did not have the time to accompany their wives and children at home because of the responsibility that they had for the country. But Zhai Muchen’s situation was even more intense.

Thus, even if Han Ruochen did not trust any man, she could still believe in Zhai Muchen.

When Zhai Muchen saw that Han Ruochen seemed to trust him without a reason, he was both amused and angry. "You should still listen to me. Start being careful from now on. Even if the people in the village are really good, you don’t know what kind of intentions they might be hiding in their hearts. So it’s better to be safe than sorry."

"Of course." Han Ruochen did not know why Zhai Muchen was adamant about making her listen to him. However, she still agreed when she saw that he was being stubborn. Anyway, it was just a one-time thing. If not for the fact that she was in a hurry today, she would have closed the door on her own without being scolded for no reason.

After receiving the answer that Zhai Muchen wanted, he stepped back and allowed Han Ruochen to have her own personal space. "Then do you remember what I told you just now?"

"I do." Han Ruochen nodded while sighing in relief inwardly. Just now, her heart was about to pop out. Even if she had no intention of giving her heart to a man again, who would not be shocked if they were cornered by such a handsome man?

Her husband from her past life was not only average-looking but also a bastard and a pervert.

Compared to him, Zhai Muchen was simply another level.

She patted her chest and agreed, "I will make sure to keep the doors locked." Though she believed that Zhai Muchen was just being a bit too cautious, Han Ruochen also felt that there was some truth in his words. After all, the Yang family was in the village as well; if she was not careful, then who knows when Yang Jianmin and his mother might pull another stunt?

Zhai Muchen nodded. He then pointed to the ingredients that he had brought with him and said to Han Ruochen, "I brought something for you to cook from the current situation of your family —I don’t think you had the time to do grocery shopping." And the meals that Han Yong made were too simple.

Han Ruochen glanced at the walnuts and the gojiberries that he had brought with him. Her eyes flickered, and she questioned, "Brother Muchen, did something happen while I was awake?"

Zhai Muchen did not hide; instead, he sighed and relayed what happened at the hospital after Han Ruochen left for the sea. Han Yichen had woken up; it was no surprise. With Han Yong and Han Xuehan staying at the hospital, Meng Yunhan and Han Ziyan did not dare to be careless with Han Yichen’s condition. But ever since Han Yichen had woken up, no one knew why, but his temper had gotten really bad.

"You mean my dad is upset with the entire family?" Han Ruochen was stunned. She stopped chopping the walnuts and turned to look at Zhai Muchen. What happened to her father? Why was he suddenly losing his temper with the entire family for no reason?

Han Ziyan and Meng Yunhan, she could understand, but why were Han Yong and Han Xuehan also dragged into the mess?

Zhai Muchen did not reply right away. Instead, he paused for a while as if he was thinking about something before saying, "Your sister is still in a better situation; at least your father is not losing his temper with her. But your brother...well, he is being grilled to death by your father. I don’t know the gist of the situation, but your elder brother no longer dares to go and face your father ever since he woke up."

Zhai Muchen only knew the gist of the situation, as he had only gone to look for Han Ruochen.

Han Ruochen pursed her lips and nodded. She did not push Zhai Muchen for answers, as she knew that he was ultimately an outsider and he could not possibly know everything. She had to go to the hospital and find out what was going on, but for the time being, she could only delay these matters. The phantom moray eels and the golden abalones were still waiting for her!

Thinking about it, she could not help but sigh heavily.

"Why are you sighing?"
