Chapter 859 Rose With Thorns (Part One)
Life in the army was colorful in the eyes of outsiders. Only those who were once soldiers would know
that it was as dull and tasteless as a corkboard. All they did in the army was to go on drills and attend
some training. They did the very same things everyday. Therefore, in order to make great
achievements in the army, one must be able to withstand such kind of depressing lifestyle.
In the eyes of the recruits, Colonel Ouyang was a gorgeous woman, while in the eyes of the veterans,
Colonel Ouyang was a beautiful rose with thorns. They only dared to look at her from afar but never
dared to get any closer. After all, her training for them was just horrible. It was the type of training that
no one would even think of trying as it was made to push people beyond human limits.
The solemnity that was surrounding the Army Base was stronger as thest ray of sunset washed over
the ce. Edward could not help but look at his wristwatch to check the time. A slight frown formed on
his handsome face. Didn''t that woman say that she would only be a littlete toe off work today?
He had been waiting for almost an hour. But where was she? Did she forget that he woulde to pick
her up to have dinner?
Truth was, Mr. Mu was right. Daisy had not only forgotten his invitation but forgotten that he would
the corners of her mouth twitched. She was sitting in a Military Humvee and was about to go home with
Mark. Damn it! How could she possibly forget about Edward? Now she couldn''t even imagine what was
running inside Edward''s mind. Was he going to get crazy or was he nning to strangle her neck? But
then wait, didn''t he usually make a phone call to her? Why didn''t he urge her this time?
"Colonel, it''s Mr. Mu''s car," said Mark. He turned around and looked at Daisy. Did the Colonel know
nothing about Mr. Muing here?
"Well! I know. All right! Then you go back to Mu''s house first. I have an appointment with him. I was so
busy that I almost forgot about it," said Daisy. She drew a deep breath as her brain started ticking for
the best way to exin why she forgot about their dinner.
"Yes, Colonel." Mark stepped on the brake. Daisy got off the car without waiting for the car to
Edward gritted his teeth as he watched the woman approaching. Good! It seemed that she had
would y out of the situation this time. To be honest, he was even curious about it.
The Colonel stopped for a second and took a deep breath before opening the door. She bent down and
sat inside the car. Then she gave Edward a fake smile in exchange for his cold re.
"Darling, have you been waiting for me for a long time?" Anyway, it would not be wrong to smile. Wasn''t
there an old saying that goes, don''t be angry with the people who are in smiles?
Edward just shot her onest look and then started the car. He didn''t even say a word. He had already
anticipated that she woulde up with a new way to persuade him. However, she hadn''t been so
creativetely and had used the very same style all the time. Darn him for enjoying it though! And
double-darn him as he didn''t have the heart to stay angry at her.
"Darling, how can you be so handsome today? Your delicate skin and the cold attitude are indeed a
king''s demeanor. Ordinary people cannot bepared to you." Daisy said as she reached out to his
face and pinched his cheek. Shit! He was proud enough today. Couldn''t he give some reactions since
she was so ttering him?
Edward tipped his head slightly to avoid her touch and continued driving without a word. He was driving
the car surprisingly fast. He might look calm on his surface but his insides were definitely in turmoils.
Why was she saying that he was handsome today? Did it mean that he wasn''t handsome before?
"Mr. Mu, say something! Why are you ignoring me?" Daisy pulled his sleeves. It seemed that her man''s
temper was bad today. He usually gave in to her with just a little coquetry. Was her mistake that big that
he couldn''t even just let it pass? Why were her actions and words not affecting him anymore?
"Sit properly." s! Edward finally opened his mouth. His voice was too emotionless. It wasn''t hard to
figure out how mad he was.
"You ignore me first! Well, I am sorry? I really don''t mean to forget our appointment. You know me,
right? I even forget Justin sometimes when I''m busy," Daisy apologized. She continued to please him.
It was really her fault anyways. Thus she was very patient.
"Wow. I hope you didn''t mean that. So Justin is more important than me, huh?" Edward answered with
an even colder tone than before. The chill in his words got through Daisy''s skin and made her
involuntarily shrink her neck. It was evident that it wouldn''t be easy to talk with Edward today. Worse,
he was way more stubborn right now.
"Well! I didn''t mean that. You are equally important in my heart. Why do you even care about this?
Justin is your son." Daisy looked at him carefully. Such Edward reminded her of the time when they

were in K city. He was also frigid and heartless. Thus, she couldn''t help but feel a little afraid of him.
"Daisy Ouyang, you should know that it doesn''t matter whether I care about it or not. Rather, it is about
if you have put me in your heart." The car screeched and stopped to the side of the road when Edward
abruptly turned the steering wheel. His eyes were filled with disappointment when he looked at her.
They had discussed this same topic so many times.
"Do you mean that I am totally wrong and you won''t forgive me this time? I know that you will not
always be so tolerant of me. I still cannot help but hope that you can tolerate me all the time. I can''t
even imagine that you mind such a petty thing. How can we live together for the next decades? How
are you going to live with me? After all, a situation like today may happen in the future again. Are you
going to be angry with me like today every time?" said Daisy.
