The next morning, Gu Shaoxuan had breakfast with Xia Enruo, and the two went to Lu Zhenhua's office together.

Given the praise he received from the division leaders for his work yesterday, Gu Shaoxuan's request for leave was approved very readily.

Upon returning to Yongning city, the two went directly to the company.

As Gu Shaoxuan entered the company compound, he suddenly saw employees bustling about.

He returned to his unit and was gone for half a month. The atmosphere in the courtyard had changed dramatically.

"Enruo, it seems the new employees have all arrived at their posts."

"Yes, Mingyan has been supervising their internship for the past two days, and they'll be assigned jobs in a couple more days. Oh, and I changed Minghui's position; I'll make him my secretary."

He's been busy practicing driving these past few days. Once he gets his driver's license, we'll buy two trucks; that way, it'll be much more convenient for him to get around.

“You’re always so thoughtful. With Minghui by your side protecting your safety, I feel at ease in the army.”

The new employee watched as her boss walked in with a dashing-looking military officer, and only then did she realize that she was actually a military wife.

"Ms. Xia, your husband is really handsome."

"Yes, they are a perfect match. I always thought the boss was unmarried."

"Indeed, the boss is so young and beautiful, she doesn't look like a married woman at all."

As the two walked toward the office, they encountered new employees who greeted them with delighted expressions, as if they had met celebrities.

"Shaoxuan, see? If I don't say anything, people will think I'm an unmarried girl, which means I'm still very well-maintained."

Xia Enruo also felt that she looked much younger than her peers, mainly because the original owner had delicate skin and a very good bone structure.

In addition, with her homemade skincare products, she can beautify her skin, resist early signs of aging, and look like a porcelain doll when she wears light makeup. People would believe she is eighteen or nineteen years old.

Every time Xia Enruo does her skincare routine at home and looks in the mirror, she is very satisfied. Looking at her face, she feels incredibly happy.

"Looks like I'll have to make you a name tag to wear around your neck from now on."

"...Brand? What brand?"

"Write down a sign saying you're married so people know you have a husband."

Gu Shaoxuan is really possessive to an extreme!

Xia Enruo now regrets forgetting not to brag to him.

"Then why don't you just write 'Gu Shaoxuan's wife'? That would be much better and make it immediately clear to everyone."

"That's a good idea, I've decided to adopt it."

"············"

I forgot to mention it.

The two went into the office, and Xia Enru changed into her teaching clothes to teach her apprentices how to cook.

Gu Shaoxuan was making kites for Zhang Zhicheng and the other three children in his office.

Today is a day off, and school is closed.

When the children saw Gu Shaoxuan arrive, they clung to him, wanting to fly kites.

Since he had nothing else to do, Gu Shaoxuan agreed, thinking it would be a good opportunity to practice and make it for his own children in the future.

“You four go watch TV. Why are you always hanging around your Uncle Gu? He finally got a vacation and he still has to coax you.”

Ge Qiuqin came over and wanted to take the children back to their dormitory. Although she and Gu Shaoxuan were already very familiar with each other, she still felt embarrassed that the children were doing this.

"It's alright, sister-in-law. I'm just staying here anyway, I'll make them a kite to play with."

"Chief of Staff Gu, your sister-in-law really needs to thank you for the TV tickets last time. If it weren't for you getting the tickets, we wouldn't have been able to buy this TV set even if we wanted to."

Since we got a television, the children have become much quieter after school. Otherwise, I'd really worry about them running around playing outside.

"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. This little favor is nothing at all. I ate a lot of your cooking and drank your chicken soup when I was in the hospital. I'm usually busy in the army, and Xia is very grateful for your care. If anyone should say thank you, it should be me."

"By the way, sister-in-law, has your relationship with Brother Zhang Xin improved recently?"

Gu Shaoxuan didn't want to gossip about these things, but as Zhang Xin's superior, he needed to know more about his subordinates' actions.

Ge Qiuqin knew that Xia Enruo and her husband cared about her family's affairs and that they were so close, so she didn't hide anything and said whatever she thought.

"Oh, him. I'm utterly disappointed. I've already told Xia that I'll divorce Zhang Xin once this busy period is over. This marriage is just a name, and I don't want to continue it. By the way, sister-in-law, I wanted to ask you, do I need to report to my boss before I can divorce Zhang Xin?"

Gu Shaoxuan hadn't expected the two of them to end up like this, and he nodded.

"That's right, sister-in-law. If one spouse is in the military, a divorce requires a report to the military, and the procedures can only be completed after approval. Sister-in-law, are you really sure? What about the four children?"

Gu Shaoxuan couldn't bear to see his four young children hurt because of their parents' divorce.

“I’ve thought it through. I definitely won’t give the children to him. Going with him would be like ruining them completely. You know the character of Zhang Xin and his family. What kind of child grows up in that kind of environment? They won’t turn out well. I’m working with Xia now, and my income is quite high. It’s more than enough to support four children.”

“Since you’ve made up your mind, sister-in-law, I can’t say anything more. Zhang Xin has made a mistake and is stubborn. If you two get divorced, I will definitely have to suggest it to Regiment Lu. The regiment cannot keep someone with such a depraved character.”

After Ge Qiuqin left, Gu Shaoxuan made a kite for each of the four children.

The little ones jumped for joy, grabbed the toys, and ran into the yard to play happily.
