"Okay, I understand. Tell Mom and Dad that we're fine. Also, go and tell your mother-in-law that things are alright, just say it's understandable."

Lan Yuchu had actually anticipated this outcome.

If Duan Yueman's identity is found to be problematic, it won't have a big impact on her father-in-law, but he will still be suspended from his job for a few days.

At this point, it depends on how the higher-ups handle the situation. The father-in-law has high prestige in the military, and if someone can vouch for him, he is unlikely to be implicated.

He asked simply because he didn't want his wife to worry, lest she lose her appetite and sleep.

After hanging up the phone, I turned to leave.

"Call home to let them know you're safe?" Ding Wen raised an eyebrow at Lan Yuchu when he saw someone he knew.

When Lan Yu first saw him, she felt nothing but bad luck!

"…………"

"What do you want to say?" Lan Yuchu knew that coming from so far away was definitely not a good thing.

"I heard you brought your wife with you, aren't you going to introduce her?" Ding Wen was Lan Yuchu's longtime comrade-in-arms and old classmate; they were sent here together.

"Get lost~" Lan Yuchu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

I didn't want to talk to him and was about to leave the office.

"Look at you, I've known you for years, and you've never said you were married. If it weren't for that rumor last time, you wouldn't have said it, would you?"

Ding Wen followed behind Lan Yuchu, pressing him for answers. After all, he was Lan Yuchu's comrade-in-arms who had risked his life together.

"Lan Yuchu, say something!" Ding Wen saw that Lan Yuchu was walking very fast and then thought that he must be guilty. "Are you guilty? Do you know Luo Li from the art troupe? She is the baby girl you rescued during a secret mission. She fell in love with you at first sight and then inquired around before transferring here."

Lan Yuchu stopped, turned around and stared at Ding Wen, saying, "Ding Wen, stop commenting on me in front of others. If you hadn't kept mentioning me, how would others have misunderstood my relationship with him? Also, I made it very clear last time that I have a wife, and we've been married for three years. I was already married when I went back to visit my family last time."

Ding asked uncertainly, "This marriage was arranged for you by your family, right? Do you really like it?"

“We’re childhood sweethearts, how could I not like you?” Lan Yuchu was right. He had met his future wife when they were young, lived in the same village for several years, and then she lived in his home for several years before marrying him.

"I remember Brother Sun saying that she was your childhood sweetheart. Do you really like her?"

Ding Wen felt that Lan Yuchu's serious and unhappy expression meant that he didn't like his current wife at all.

"Stop talking nonsense. That's my wife. How could I not like her? What do you mean by 'child bride'? That's my wife, my wife!" An Yuchu had clearly told him many times that she wasn't a child bride, but he had always refused to listen.

Not only do they keep making fun of him about this, but it also leads others to believe that he was in an arranged marriage. After the last rumor, others also think so.

"Okay~" Ding Wen stopped dwelling on the question and asked curiously, "Xing Jianguo said your wife is very beautiful, so you plan to hide her and not let us meet her?"

He had only heard about Lan Yuchu's wife from Brother Sun; he had never actually met her.

"My wife needs to rest these next few days. I'll introduce you two when I have time, but as for your mouth, if you shouldn't have said that, then forget it!"

He didn't really want his wife to meet any of the men he'd met over the years; none of them were good at talking. He used to think Xing Jianguo was bad at talking, but now he felt that Xing Jianguo was the only one who could talk.

Ding Wen wanted to continue talking, but Lan Yuchu pointed at him and warned, "If you don't want to practice more, then stop here?"

"..."

He'd be a fool to go up there now that things had come to this point.

He was still a deputy battalion commander, just like Xing Jianguo.

He didn't dare say a word and watched Lan Yuchu leave.

"Battalion Commander Ding, I heard Battalion Commander Lan is back. Where is he?" As soon as Lan Yuchu left, Luo Li appeared excitedly.

"What I said came true!" Ding Wen was a little worried when he saw Luo Li, but he remained calm on the surface and said, "Luo Li informed me that Battalion Commander Lan's vacation is not over yet. He came over to make a phone call and then went back."

"Did he go back to his dorm? I'll go find him. My mom is visiting soon and brought me some local specialties." Luo Li was so happy to hear that Lan Yuchu was back that she couldn't sleep all night.

Seeing how happy she was, Ding Wen felt a pang of guilt, but still spoke up: "Comrade Luo Li, actually Battalion Commander Lan is already married. He mentioned this when he was clarifying the rumors with the villagers last time."

“Hmm~” Luo Li nodded in response: “I know, but didn’t he go back to get a divorce this time? You also said that she was a child bride, so there must be no feelings between the two of them. I’m willing to wait for Battalion Commander Lan.”

Ding Wen felt a deep sense of guilt.

"Comrade Luo Li, Battalion Commander Lan and his wife are not child brides, they are childhood sweethearts, they have a very good relationship, and they will never get divorced! You should stop waiting for him." He felt that he should explain.

Luo Li looked at Ding Wen and felt a pang of unease upon hearing his words.

"Commander Lan brought his wife with him to the army, didn't you know that? Or do you just not want to hear it?" Ding's words were actually quite tactful.

Luo Li felt a sudden jolt in her heart.

You mean his childhood sweetheart came too?

"She's not a child bride, she's my wife, we grew up together."

Ding asked in a solemn yet tactful voice, and after speaking, Luo Li turned and ran out, calling out, "Hey~ Comrade Luo Li?"

"It's over~"
