Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 735 - 730: We’re Moving Out

On the contrary, Xu He’s daily life is very regular. Having just finished her postpartum confinement not long ago and suffering from a uterine injury, she hardly ever leaves the house and stays home for recovery, leaving no trace or clue to be found.

But such results only made Fang Pingying even more terrified.

If Luo Cuilan’s disappearance was indeed related to Xu He, Xu He’s apparent indifference would mean that she didn’t have Luo Cuilan confined somewhere.

The reason she could be so assured might be because she knew she had permanently eliminated this potential problem.

Thus, it was possible that Luo Cuilan might no longer be alive.

Realizing this possibility, Fang Pingying felt that the matter might be beyond her capability. After some thought, she consulted with Luo Zhiyong, and eventually, they decided to report it to the police.

However, due to the special nature of the case, Fang Pingying had informed Captain Huang from the police department, and they agreed to conduct a covert investigation first, focusing mainly on Xu He without overt actions.

Captain Huang also felt that was the only possible action for now.

To open a case, at minimum, basic personal and physical evidence was required, but they did not even know whether Luo Cuilan had been harmed or the exact day she disappeared, and considering that Luo Cuilan might still be alive, they dared not act rashly.

Therefore, Luo Cuilan’s case could only be left as it was for now, taking steps as they come, hoping that Xu He wasn’t so heartless and that Luo Cuilan was still among the living.

Meanwhile, at the same time, Fang Pingying’s business had made a new breakthrough at this moment, which meant she didn’t have as much time to spend on this matter anymore.

Previously, Fang Pingying had bought a large plot of land in a suburb outside the city. From her previous life, she knew it would develop into the city’s largest commercial area, having defiantly bought it a long time ago in partnership with Juzi despite everyone’s objections.

However, for the past two years, there had been no movement from the government side, even till the time Fang Pingying remembered when development started in her previous life, the government had not announced anything. Fang Pingying had even thought that many things might have changed in this life and her prediction might be wrong, prepared to use that plot of land for other purposes.

But unexpectedly, not long ago, the government suddenly announced that in the next two years, they would vigorously develop that area, vowing to make that plot of land the most prosperous area in the provincial city.

Unquestionably, the government’s intention to develop that area, where Fang Pingying owned a lot of land, naturally entailed negotiations with the government.

The government’s intention was naturally to acquire all of Fang Pingying’s land, but the original purpose when Fang Pingying bought that plot was not just to earn the differential profit; she had long-term plans.

Eventually, her proposed condition was to cooperate with the government and develop the area together. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

As a result, Fang Pingying’s status in this provincial city was no longer that of a mere supermarket owner or a dessert shop owner. One could say she had become a pivotal figure here.

Moreover, given her background, people in their entire class called her a peasant entrepreneur, and anyone who knew her genuinely admired her.

A woman coming from the countryside, without any support in any form, relying entirely on her own hands and boldness to achieve her current position—this was something not many people could accomplish at that time.

Although, according to Fang Pingying, whether she only owned a dessert shop or had become an entrepreneur now, she felt it made no difference. She did all this simply because she didn’t want to waste time; just go with it, as there was no need for any change in her life before or after.

But still, her identity had changed, and the people and matters she had to face were different.

Her status required her to confront many people and things.

Thus, her life had to undergo earth-shaking changes.

Firstly, the household had to consider buying a car for commuting, as it was no longer feasible to rely on public transport or Luo Zhiyong cycling her around as before.

Then, the current house indeed became somewhat cramped. Although it was cozy for a family of four, it felt too cramped when everyone gathered together.

Therefore, Fang Pingying intended to buy a small villa-style house in a quieter part of the city.

Buying a house, for those without money might be an incredibly difficult task, but for the wealthy, it was merely a matter of speaking.

Once Fang Pingying let the news out, quite a few friends came forward to recommend houses to her, and she chose one that was slightly farther from the city center but had great scenery and exquisite decorations.

Moreover, the deal was finalized on the same day, the property certificate processed the next day, and they could move in immediately.

Since the money was spent to buy the house, Fang Pingying decided to move earlier.

However, the night before moving, someone at home started causing trouble again.

Fang Pingying was packing things to take with her in the room when suddenly the door creaked. She looked up and saw Luo Zhiyong. She quickly asked, "Have you packed things for Yaoyao and the others?"

Luo Zhiyong nodded without replying and then sat down on Fang Pingying’s bed, looking at her with a rather melancholic expression.

As a man, as a husband, how could he not be melancholic?

It had been over half a year since he and Fang Pingying reconciled. They had been living under the same roof every day, but it was all look but don’t touch.

Initially, Fang Pingying didn’t seem very opposed to intimate matters between husband and wife, letting him take some liberties. But later, something suddenly changed, and she wouldn’t let him near her at all, repeatedly saying he was untrustworthy.

But the problem was, he had no idea when he had ever been untrustworthy.

Thus, the two of them continued in this awkward, entangled state.

He and Fang Pingying were like roommates living together; she let him do the housework, take care of the children, and live here, but she just wouldn’t allow closeness. Now, he was living in the study every day, and occasionally, when there wasn’t enough space in the house, Fang Pingying would even send him to stay in the military barracks, saying that was his base.

Now that moving was being discussed, Luo Zhiyong felt that if he couldn’t win over his own wife now, he didn’t know when he would ever have the chance.

So, he began to probe by taking a step back.

He sat on the bed for a while, then deliberately asked, "Wife, I’m moving with you all, right?"

Seeing his entrance and knowing what he was thinking, Fang Pingying gave him a sidelong glance and said indifferently, "What do you think?"
