Zhou Chuan felt flustered when someone pointed out his secret.

Manager Sun originally only wanted to say a few words to him, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.

He regretted it after asking the question.

Besides Steward Sun, Gu Shen and Xia Anyan, the two people involved, also noticed the change in Zhou Chuan's expression.

The two men's expressions immediately changed.

"Captain, I never expected you to be this kind of person. I thought I had treated you with great respect since I left, and I didn't say or do anything wrong or make things difficult for you. But you actually tracked me down here and even made my grandfather have a relapse."

"Now you've even admitted that you came here with ulterior motives. I'd like to ask you what those ulterior motives are? What do you want? What do you want to get from me?" Xia Anyan questioned coldly.

Zhou Chuan opened his mouth several times to explain, but when the words reached his lips, he didn't know what to say, which made Xia Anyan think he was pretentious.

Xia Anyan couldn't see through it, but Gu Shen had already figured it out.

He didn't actually have any private contact with Zhou Chuan, but in both of their meetings, he sensed hostility from the other person.

He and Zhou Chuan had never even met before, so how could he suddenly be hostile towards a stranger? The only possibility left is Xia Anyan.

After figuring this out, Gu Shen didn't give him a friendly look: "Captain Zhou, you're too late. My wife and I have already gotten our marriage certificate, and we are a legally married couple."

“I already have the right to accompany him to the military, and he will be going with me to the military base, so I’m afraid your idea of ​​taking her back is not going to work.”

Zhou Chuan opened his mouth as if to say something, but Gu Shen seemed to suddenly remember something: "Oh, right, there's one more thing I forgot to mention. After we got our marriage certificate, I went straight to the police station and the educated youth office to transfer my wife's household registration to the military base."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chuan's face turned deathly pale.

He thought he could bring Xia Anyan back with him this time. Even if Xia Anyan didn't like him, he believed that as long as he tried, there was always a way.

Even if Xia Anyan has another man in her heart, he can wait.

But to my utter surprise...

"Xia Zhiqing, shouldn't you give me an explanation for this?" Zhou Chuan didn't look at Gu Shen, but instead focused his gaze on Xia Anyan.

He didn't know what to say, so he could only question.

The way Xia Anyan looked at him was like she was looking at an idiot.

Gu Shen has already explained it so clearly, why do you still need to dig deeper?

"Captain Zhou, what answer do you want from me? Do you want me to say that we have indeed registered our marriage, or do you want me to say that I got married without your consent?"

"Actually, I've always had a question: you always seem to have a possessive attitude towards me, as if I have to listen to you in everything. So, who gave you this misconception?"

Zhou Chuan's face turned pale.

He couldn't refute it, nor could he explain it.

But his current behavior will only make Xia Anyan even more disgusted.

“Captain Zhou, I don’t need to report to you about my marriage, nor do I need to apply to you. I have already communicated with the people in the educated youth office, and they have agreed to it.”

"If you have any questions, you can go and talk to them directly. If there's nothing else, please move aside. I need to go home to see my grandfather now."

Xia Anyan's indifference made Zhou Chuan feel very uncomfortable, with a sharp, throbbing pain in his heart.

Actually, he didn't quite understand why he would like someone like that, even though he knew they could never be together.

One was a pampered young woman sent to the countryside as an educated youth, and the other was a brigade leader from generations of poor peasants.

Regardless of their social status or anything else, they are not a good match.

Moreover, he has never treated any woman like this before, so why is he doing this to Xia Anyan now...?

"I'm sorry, I really made a mistake. I'm very sorry about what happened to your grandfather, and I want to apologize to you now." Zhou Chuan lowered his head, his fists clenched tightly together.

"No need," Xia Anyan glanced at him coldly. "You don't need to apologize to me, nor do you need to say these things to me. I just want to tell you that we had no relationship before, and we will have no relationship in the future."

“You came here this time saying you wanted to take me back, but ask yourself honestly, is that really reasonable? I did ask for leave to come back without your permission, but I have the necessary paperwork.”

As long as the procedures are proper, even those in higher positions won't pursue the matter too much, but this person came along anyway.

In other words, just two days after she left, Zhou Chuan boarded a train, ostensibly to bring her back, but what was the real reason?

Surely Zhou Chuan isn't really that kind-hearted, treating every educated youth sent to the countryside the same way?

In the end, Zhou Chuan was unable to say another word to Xia Anyan; he could only watch the two of them ride away on their bicycles.

His eyes even became bloodshot when he saw the two of them embracing.

Why? Why exactly?

Although he wasn't a soldier, he was still very capable. Why couldn't Xia Anyan turn around and look at him?

Manager Sun originally didn't want to pay attention to Zhou Chuan, but seeing his appearance, he was worried that this man would go back and cause trouble for the two of them.

In the end, Manager Sun could only get out of the car and pat him on the shoulder: "Alright, Captain Zhou, stop standing here like an idiot and come with me."

"It's getting late. If you walk back by yourself, how long will it take? Let's go, let's go."

Zhou Chuan was forcibly taken away by Steward Sun.

As for what Zhou Chuan will do after they go back, Sun Guan doesn't care. But right now, with him here, he absolutely cannot let Zhou Chuan sneak back and disturb those people again.

...

When Gu Shen and Xia Anyan returned, they thought the old man's condition might not be good, but when they came back, they found everyone in the courtyard smiling at them.

They even offered congratulations and other auspicious words upon meeting them.

"Where is my grandfather?" Xia Anyan returned their greetings one by one, then looked at the captain.

She was genuinely worried that something might happen to the old man.

The captain smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Xia is fine. He drank some water and chased the people away, so he's feeling much better now."

"By the way, when you two came back just now, did you run into that guy surnamed Zhou on the road?"

The expressions on their faces were not very good when the matter was brought up.

Gu Shen, in particular, turned completely pale.

Seeing him like this, what else could the captain not understand?

He was so angry he ground his teeth.
