It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Jiang Yue and Gu Ye returned to the staff quarters.

As soon as he entered the camp, Gu Ye asked the soldiers on duty in the guard company to call the company where Wang Weixu was.

"Rongrong, go to my house first and wait for your Captain Wang to pick you up!"

Wang Weixu's rank and years of military service are not high enough, and Lian Rongrong does not meet the requirements to accompany the army. He can only apply for residence in the family compound for one month's home visit leave each year, and he has to leave when the time comes.

Gu Ye picked up Ningning who had fallen asleep, and Jiang Yue took a small blanket and covered Ningning with it. It was already deep winter and very cold at night. As soon as she got out of the car, she shivered in the wind. Ningning was sweating after sleeping in the car, and it would be easy for her to catch a cold if she was exposed to the wind without a blanket.

"Jiang Yue, did you and Captain Gu talk about something in the car?" Lian Rongrong had taken a nap in the car. She vaguely heard what Jiang Yue and Gu Ye talked about, but she was too sleepy and her eyelids were drooping, so she didn't hear anything even though she wanted to.

Gu Ye was holding Ningning and walking in front, while Jiang Yue was one step behind, because Lian Rongrong held her arm as soon as she got out of the car. She knew that Lian Rongrong was frightened today, and she tried to comfort her along the way.

"Yes, I do."

Jiang Yue didn't elaborate, because there were some things that even Rongrong didn't understand, so she couldn't explain it in too much detail, and it would be difficult to explain.

Arriving at the courtyard, Jiang Yue took out the key and unlocked it.

The dim light dispelled the darkness. This was her and Gu Ye's home. Even though the weather was cold, as long as she returned home, she would feel safe and warm.

Gu Ye held Ningning in his arms while Jiang Yue spread the quilt, turned on the electric blanket, and then took off Ningning's clothes and shoes.

"Mom, are we home?" Ningning was half asleep, still lying on Gu Ye's shoulder. When Jiang Yue gently pulled her arm, she opened her eyes and asked.

"Yes, we're home. Ningning, are you hungry?" Jiang Yue bent down to put down Ningning's shoes, and when he looked up again, he saw Ningning closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

"Let her sleep. It doesn't matter if she goes hungry!" Gu Ye put Ningning on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

They had been busy the whole afternoon, and when they were leaving the provincial capital in the evening, they had dinner at a state-owned restaurant. However, Ningning ate too much at noon, and said she couldn't eat after just a few bites at night. That's why Jiang Yue asked Ningning if she was hungry when they came back.

Jiang Yue and Gu Ye came out of the room and saw Lian Rongrong sitting on the sofa in a daze.

"Jiang Yue, if Wang Weixu asks me why I came back, what should I say?" Lian Rongrong opened a store in the provincial capital and suddenly came back to find an excuse.

"I'll tell him when he gets here!" Gu Ye said in a deep voice, "The Han and Hao families will definitely find this place. We need to let Wang Weixu know the situation clearly."

"I'll go boil some water!" Jiang Yue picked up the thermos and went to the kitchen.

"Jiang Yue, I'll go with you!" Lian Rongrong didn't want to be alone with Gu Ye in a space, as she would feel uncomfortable anywhere, so she wanted to go out too.

"You sit down, I'll go!" Gu Ye walked out the door.

Lian Rongrong looked at the backs of Jiang Yue and Gu Ye with envy.

Before going out in the morning, Jiang Yue did not close the coal stove, but they came back too late, the coal in the stove had burned out, and the water in the kettle had gone cold.

"You take a rest, I'll do it!" Gu Ye poked out the coal slag, picked up the coal balls and put them back in, lit the fire, and Jiang Yue put the kettle filled with water on top.

Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the yard.

"Tuan Gu, did you say Rongrong is back?" Wang Weixu pushed the door open hurriedly, sweating profusely and looking anxious.

The army has a strict schedule, and the lights will be turned off at a certain time. Wang Weixu had already fallen asleep when he was suddenly woken up by the deputy company commander on duty. He said that his wife had returned and asked him to come to Gu Tuan's house. He didn't know why his wife came back at this time, and he was anxious, so he ran over wrapped in his military coat.

"Wang Weixu!" Lian Rongrong came out from the main room immediately when she heard Wang Weixu's voice, her eyes red with grievance.

"Rongrong, why did you come back at this time? Did someone bully you?" Wang Weixu asked anxiously, while checking Rongrong from head to toe to see if she was injured.

Lian Rongrong didn't care that she was at Jiang Yue's house. Jiang Yue and Gu Ye were right next to her. She threw herself into Wang Weixu's arms and started crying, "Wow, Wang Weixu, I miss you!"

When Lian Rongrong started crying, Wang Weixu became even more nervous. He was so nervous and panicked that he simply asked Gu Ye and Jiang Yue, "Gu Tuan, sister-in-law, was Rongrong bullied? Which bastard was it? Tell me! I'll beat his mother up!"

"Wait a minute, wait until Rongrong has cried enough, then let Gu Ye talk to you!" Jiang Yue saw that Lian Rongrong was not going to stop crying for a while, so she pulled Gu Ye back to the kitchen and said to Lian Rongrong, "It's cold in the yard, go to the main room and talk, but keep your voice down, so as not to wake Ningning up!"

Lian Rongrong wiped her face and raised her head from Wang Weixu's arms, "Let's talk about business. I can cry later!"

Wang Weixu also looked anxious and wanted to know what had happened.

Gu Ye asked Wang Weixu to go to the main room, and Lian Rongrong followed Jiang Yue into the kitchen.

"How is it? Seeing that your Captain Wang cares about you so much and loves you so much, are you touched?" Jiang Yue looked at Lian Rongrong's red eyes and couldn't help but joked, "Do you still want to divorce him?"

Lian Rongrong rubbed her eyes and sniffed, "I don't want to think about it anymore! I want to live a good life with Wang Weixu!"

"To see whether men are reliable or not, you have to see whether they can stand up for you when you encounter problems and whether they can protect you from the wind and rain." Jiang Yue pulled a small stool for Lian Rongrong, and the two of them sat around the coal stove, warming their hands and chatting.

"I think Captain Wang is a responsible person. There is no fundamental or principled problem between you two. Rongrong, don't talk about divorce all the time, and don't show off that you make more money than Captain Wang. Sometimes the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. If you say too much, it will hurt people's hearts!"

Lian Rongrong nodded repeatedly, but then she looked up and asked suspiciously, "Jiang Yue, I didn't expect that you are so young, but you can talk about things in a very logical way. Why do I feel that you have such a thorough understanding of marriage?"

"How can you understand it?" Jiang Yue sneered and laughed twice, "It's my first time getting married too, and I haven't been married as long as you have. In fact, I heard these things from my grandma!"

"Is that so?" Lian Rongrong had no doubts.

The two talked for a while, and then Wang Weixu came out of the main room and called out, "Rongrong, let's go!"

He said hello to Jiang Yue again and left with Lian Rongrong.

Gu Ye locked the gate, and Jiang Yue asked him, "What did you say to Captain Wang?"

"I've talked to him briefly. He needs to understand the situation." Gu Ye lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Yue, tenderness rising in his deep black eyes. "I've talked to Wang Weixu and asked him to take a few days off. You and Lian Rongrong can go out these few days and bring a few more people with you."

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Jiang Yue pulled a small stool for Gu Ye to sit on, snuggled up beside him, and asked, "Gu Ye, do you know who the big shot who is protecting the Hao family is?"

Before, Lian Rongrong was there, so Jiang Yue didn't dare to ask Gu Ye directly. Now that they were alone, she asked.
