Since marrying Xia Enruo, he had only seen her dirty and slovenly every day. He never expected that she would change so much recently, and it was for someone else. It seems that she had planned to ask for a divorce long ago. Qiao Huizhen was right.

Gu Shaoxuan picked up the wine glass and took a big gulp of wine. Yuan Qiang saw that he was about to pour it out, so he quickly covered the wine pot.

"Hey Lao Gu, what are you doing? Drinking in front of the leader by yourself. Your wife sings so well, you can't be this happy."

Yuan Qiang said in a low voice.

Jiang Pei watched Xia Enruo from behind the scenes with a long face. She had wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate her and wait for her to sing off-key to save the day, so that the whole army could see how good her voice was.

But if he went up there now, he would only be slapped in the face, because Xia Enruo's voice was much better than his own.

Hearing Xia Enruo's wonderful singing voice, even the band's drummers felt more energetic; the performance was truly exhilarating.

After the performance, thunderous applause resounded throughout the military camp. The soldiers were thrilled and their emotions were running high. Even Ge Qiuqin and others cheered excitedly.

Qiao Huizhen sat to the side, pouting.

"Damn it, in the end she actually gained face. The clown is me. What bad luck."

Xia Enru bowed to the audience.

Thank you. I wish everyone good health.

When Commander Lu saw Xia Enruo's poised and confident demeanor, and her exceptionally beautiful voice, he was overjoyed.

"Shaoxuan, your wife sings really well. Go back and ask her. If she's willing, I'll apply to the leadership for special approval to work in the cultural troupe. Our army is short of all kinds of talent."

Gu Shaoxuan's anger had not subsided, but he could not show it.

“Commander Lu, I’ll go back and ask her.”

As Xia Enruo stepped down from the stage and returned to her seat, the military wives kept praising her.

"Xia, you're really amazing! You used to be so low-key, I never knew you could sing so well."

"Who says otherwise? Your stage presence is just as strong as a TV host; you're not intimidated at all."

"You're really hiding your true abilities. Chief of Staff Gu must be overjoyed today. Not only did you win the battle, but your wife is also so outstanding."

Qiao Huizhen avoided looking Xia Enruo in the eye; she felt guilty.

Xia Enruo didn't want to say another word to her; she shouldn't associate with someone like that.

After the celebration banquet, the military wives were supposed to go home in a large bus, but the weather was not cooperating. It rained heavily, lightning flashed across the night sky from time to time, and the wind howled. Fearing that there might be an accident on the way, the troops simply let the leaders of the regiment and their families rest at the camp guesthouse for one night and then head back the next day after breakfast.

Sitting in the room, the raindrops pattered against the windowsill, the wind swayed the branches back and forth, and the booming thunder made the room vibrate.

"Luckily, I came to the military camp today. Otherwise, I would have been really scared in the family compound at night when it was dark and deserted."

Xia Enruo was not afraid of anything in her past life, except for the dark. Once when she was a child, she encountered a pervert in the alley on her way home from school in winter. Since then, she has been afraid of the dark. Even her best friend laughed at her, saying that she dared to catch mice and insects, but was scared half to death by the dark.

Having just showered, she sat on the bed with her hair still half-dry. The quiet light made her feel incredibly sleepy, but just as she was about to lie down, there was a knock on the door.

Who is it?

Xia Enru shouted.

"It's me, open the door!"

Gu Shaoxuan replied, still slightly drunk.

Hearing that familiar voice, Xia Enruo ran out of bed and opened the door.

"You...you're staying here today too?"

Judging from her tone, it seemed as if she disliked him, so Gu Shaoxuan stumbled inside.

"If I don't live here, where would I live? We're not divorced yet."

Gu Shaoxuan lay on the bed, having drunk a lot, without even taking off his shoes.

"That's not what I meant. I thought you had dormitories in the camp."

Seeing that Gu Shaoxuan did not reply, Xia Enruo opened the door and went out. She was going to ask for some hot water, preferably with rock sugar, so that the sugar water would make her stomach feel better and also help with the hangover. That's right, she was still Gu Shaoxuan's wife in name, so it was only right for her to take care of him.

Hearing that the room was quiet and no one was there, Gu Shaoxuan opened his eyes, but he couldn't see Xia Enruo. She really had started to dislike him.

But today, the image of Xia Enruo in her blue dress kept flashing through his mind. How could this be? He used to feel disgusted just thinking about her, but now he actually wanted to look at her again?

After running all over the corridor, Xia Enruo finally found a few pieces of rock candy from Ge Qiuqin. These candies were specially brought for the children. Upon hearing Xia Enruo's intention, Ge Qiuqin readily took them out.

"Xia, you're so thoughtful. Chief of Staff Gu is truly blessed to have you as his wife."

"Sister-in-law, please stop praising me. I'm not as good as you say. I just saw my mom do this when I was little."

“You young people are so shy. Good sister-in-law, I won’t say anything more. Take this and take care of him.”

Xia Enruo returned to the room with the sugar water and saw that Gu Shaoxuan was already asleep in a corner of the bed, with one leg dangling on the ground and his leather shoes still on.

"Chief of Staff Gu..."

What should I call her? It's so awkward! Call her "husband"... ugh... she can't say it, and it's even stranger. Call her "Old Gu"? That sounds like an old married couple, no way!

"Wake up, wake up."

Xia Enruo ultimately replaced everything with you, she shook Gu Shaoxuan's shoulder.

"Hmm~~, if you don't want to be in the same room as me, then get out."

Gu Shaoxuan was in a daze and was talking nonsense.

Xia Enru thought to herself, "My good intentions have been taken for granted. They're drunk and they still want to kick me out."

"Get up and drink some sugar water to sober up."

She tried to pull on Gu Shaoxuan's arm, but he was too heavy for her to lift. So she tumbled over and landed on top of him.

This was the first time she had been so close to him, and the first time she had looked at him so intently.

He was so handsome, with long eyelashes, a chiseled face, a prominent Adam's apple, and even his chest muscles were so well-defined. He was a real heartthrob. If she had met him in her past life, she definitely wouldn't have let him go. But now he was driving her crazy with disgust. Besides, they were getting a divorce soon. Romantic entanglements were ultimately stumbling blocks on the road to entrepreneurship. She didn't want to rely on a man for her livelihood for the rest of her life.

Yuan Qiang came over to deliver the clothes that Gu Shaoxuan had left in the auditorium. He wondered what was wrong with Old Gu today; he hadn't drunk much, yet he was already this drunk. He noticed that the room wasn't locked, and the door was ajar, so he simply pushed it open and went in.

"Hey Lao Gu, you... Oh my god, I didn't mean to disturb you by not knocking."

Yuan Qiang glanced at it, turned his head, walked out, and said with his back turned.
