"Okay, all good. You've all worked hard in training. The girl's cooking is almost done. Go help serve the dishes. Wenpeng, let them go about their business. You come and sit with me for a while."

When the old man gave the order, they all started to move on their own. Seeing this, Commander Gu followed behind the old man and sat down on the sofa.

“You usually have a lot of contact with them. What do you think of this kid? When your Uncle Ruan told me about it before, I was quite surprised, but after he told me what Ruan Ruan said to persuade him, I think it makes sense. With Shao Ke's looks, it would be hard to find a girl prettier than him. If they are truly together and he treats him well, I won't say anything.”

Grandpa Su had thought it through very clearly. As soon as he arrived in Yuncheng, Shao Ke couldn't wait to let him meet him. In addition, when they were at home, the old folks had discussed it. If they didn't care about the gossip from outsiders, they would let them be. After all, they were practically on their deathbeds, so why should they care about such things?

"Uncle, to be honest with you, these two kids are truly together. Their relationship isn't a secret in their group. I've noticed they get along quite well usually. And Bai Sirui is quite caring. I heard that last night, Shao Ke and the others came back late, and he was worried, so he went out to look for them all by himself. So, don't worry. Even if things get really bad, there's still Huo Haocheng and Ruan Ruan. Do you think that if Bai Sirui treats Shao Ke badly, Ruan Ruan, who's so protective of her own, would let him off the hook?"

He didn't believe it anyway. If there really was something between the two of them, it would be merciful for Bai Sirui not to be skinned alive by Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng.

The old man watched them bustling in and out, mainly observing Bai Sirui. He felt that Gu Wenpeng's words made sense. If that day really came, with so many people from the Ruan, Gu, and Su families in the military, what would they be afraid of?

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now and let them deal with it." After thinking it through, the old man saw that all the dishes had been served and invited Commander Gu to sit down and eat.

After a day of shopping, he was hungry and finally got to eat the food he had been longing for, Ruan Ruan's cooking. "Ruan Ruan's cooking is really good. No wonder your grandfather is always bragging about it. This time when I go back, I'll have something to brag about to him too."

Just thinking about going back and being able to brag to them about visiting Ruan Ruan's factory and eating a meal cooked by Ruan Ruan herself made him eat an extra bowl of rice.

No one drank alcohol during the meal. One reason was that they had training the next day, and the other was that they had to take the old man back to the city later, so drinking was inconvenient.

Tonight's dinner is suitable for all guests.

Afterwards, Ruan Shaoke and Bai Sirui drove the old man home. On the way, the old man made his position clear. Just as he had said before, as long as they recognized each other, that was fine. As a doctor, he was accepting and would not express his own opinion.

With his grandfather's permission, the two were very happy on the way back and passionately kissed in the car.
