The moment Qiu Yan got off the car,

The soldiers all turned their gazes to her, which was quite strange.

They wondered to themselves, "When did the general get so many women around him?"

The general usually stayed in the military camp and never brought a woman with him.

Due to military discipline, no one uttered a single word of complaint.

Qiu Dayu and Xia Minhan, however, were somewhat unsettled when they saw Qiu Yan.

"Xiaoyan?"

"Cousin Xiaoyan?"

They both spoke in unison, seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

"Xiaoyan!" Qiu Dayu shouted, and was about to rush forward.

However, because he was standing in the front row, he was spotted by Captain Qin at a glance and had no choice but to return to his unit in embarrassment.

"Kid, is that girl called Xiaoyan?" Captain Qin, always eager for gossip, asked Qiu Dayu in a low voice.

“Yes, Qiu Yan, my eldest niece,” Qiu Dayu replied.

"Your eldest niece?" Captain Qin looked bewildered, then thought of Qiu Dafu, who had visited the military camp before.

He remembered that the general addressed him as "Second Uncle".

“Miss Qiu is the general’s beloved.” Just then, Captain Yuan walked slowly to Captain Qin’s side and whispered.

"I see." Captain Qin understood, and then he patted Qiu Dayu on the shoulder.

"You're lucky, kid."

"Uh...it's alright." Qiu Dayu's face remained stiff, while Qin Xiaowei began to seriously examine the cold-looking girl beside the general, his questioning gaze still lingering.

"Is the young master also Miss Qiu's son?"

"Absolutely not!"

Qiu Dayu's loud shout made Xia Minhan unable to suppress a laugh.

This startled Captain Qin.

This cleared up Captain Yuan's doubts.

The soldiers, who had been eyeing Qiu Yan, all turned their gazes toward him.

The soldiers in the front row heard everything about the conversation between Captain Qin and his two companions, and upon hearing this, they laughed heartily.

"Um..." Qiu Dayu smiled awkwardly and lowered his head silently.

Upon closer inspection, Qiu Yan was looking at him.

"Uncle? Minhan?" Qiu Yan whispered.

Qiu Yan couldn't help but notice Qiu Dayu's loud voice just now, no matter how hard she tried.

This morning she was still thinking about it, wondering which army Qiu Dayu and Xia Minhan belonged to, whether they were stationed at the border, or whether they had come along with them.

At this moment, Qiu Dayu stood ramrod straight in his military uniform, looking much more energetic than before, and his former roguishness was gone.

However, her shrewd cheeks... still retained a childlike innocence.

Xia Minhan, on the other hand, became much more composed.

Just as Qiu Yan looked at Qiu Dayu and Xia Minhan, the two of them were also staring intently at her, their eyes still filled with surprise.

"Xiaoyan, I'm here." Qiu Dayu waved to Qiu Yan, and Xia Minhan waved back.

"That person is your uncle?" Upon hearing this, Qin Susu couldn't help but give Qiu Dayu a serious look.

"No wonder he looked familiar. But Xiaoyan, what a coincidence that your uncle is serving in my father's army? And who is Minhan?"

Qin Susu asked herself, and then she saw that Qiu Yan had already walked towards Qiu Dayu and Xia Minhan.

She and Apu followed one after the other, still chattering away while asking Qiu Yan questions.

Qiu Yan walked towards the two of them.

"Uncle, Minhan."

What a coincidence.

The three looked at each other, their eyes filled with the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

"Cousin, what brings you here?"

"Xiaoyan, this is strange. Second brother also came here some time ago."

"What brings Second Uncle here?"

"He's here to deliver a message. You should ask the general about this..."
