Chapter 12 Military Marriage 1

The original owner was the daughter of the village brigade leader. She was pampered from childhood. After graduating from high school, she couldn't find a job and had to work in the fields to earn work points. She couldn't stand that hardship. Coincidentally, her fiancé, Zhou Hongjun, was already a deputy battalion commander in the army and had the right to accompany his family to the army. So the two families quickly held a wedding for the two of them, and she followed her husband to the army.

Unexpectedly, after only two months in the army, the original owner discovered that Zhou Hongjun was hugging and cuddling with another woman.

The original owner immediately made a scene, and Zhou Hongjun protected Bai Moli and left, forcibly dragging the original owner back home.

It turns out that Zhou Hongjun had fallen in love with the regimental commander's daughter, Bai Moli, a long time ago. Unfortunately, he was a poor boy from the countryside, and neither the regimental commander nor his daughter liked him. Bai Moli married Qu Muyang, the only son of the Qu family in Beijing.

The two enjoyed a sweet and loving relationship for a while, but Qu Muyang sacrificed himself during a mission.

Bai Moli was only twenty-two years old at the time. Even though she had just given birth to a daughter, it was clear that she couldn't stay single forever.

Zhou Hongjun's mind started racing again. He regretted not persisting a little longer. He had always cared for Bai Moli and had done things like hugging and cuddling many times, but Bai Moli had never given him a straight answer. What she said most often was: "I can't do anything immoral. You're married now, so don't worry about me anymore."

In Zhou Hongjun's heart, Bai Moli was a pure and kind little fairy.

After discovering their affair, he initially denied it, fearing that the original owner would ruin Bai Moli's reputation, so he promised never to see Bai Moli again and to live a good life with her.

The original owner believed it, and soon she became pregnant. Zhou's mother came to personally take care of the pregnant woman.

Then the original owner had a difficult childbirth.

Zhou's mother absolutely refused to have a cesarean section, and Zhou Hongjun also advised the original owner to be patient. The original owner died in childbirth.

Ning Yan was furious, and she wanted Zhou Hongjun to be patient!

When she arrived, the original owner was a senior in high school.

When Ning Yan came home from school that weekend, she immediately suggested that she go to the military base to visit her family.

Captain Ning asked, puzzled, "Why did you suddenly decide to go visit your relatives?"

"Of course, it's to get to know Zhou Hongjun better. If we're not a good match, we can break off the engagement early to avoid getting tired of each other after marriage and not being able to live together."

Ning's mother reached out and poked her daughter's forehead. "Listen to what you're saying!" Then she changed the subject. "However, it's not impossible for her to go to the military base."

And so, Ning Yan's trip to visit her family at the military base was decided.

The train rattled and swayed for four days before finally arriving at the unit where Zhou Hongjun was serving.

After booking a room and putting away her luggage at the guesthouse, Ning Yan tidied herself up before going to the military base to find Zhou Hongjun.

When Zhou Hongjun, who had just finished training, heard from the gatekeeper that his fiancée had come looking for him, his face turned dark.

His first words to Ning Yan, tinged with anger, were: "Why are you here?"

Ning Yan knew what this thing was, so she wasn't surprised.

"You didn't want me to come? No wonder this comrade didn't believe me when I told him I was your fiancée. Did you find someone you like in the army, which is why you hid my existence?"

Zhou Hongjun wished he could cover Ning Yan's mouth.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Come on, come on, let's go to the dorm first."

Ning Yan came to annul the engagement and, incidentally, to find something to use against Zhou Hongjun. Naturally, she wanted Zhou Hongjun to take her around the military base to make his presence known, so she didn't say anything more and followed Zhou Hongjun into his dormitory.

Zhou Hongjun was promoted to deputy battalion commander after successfully completing a special mission at the end of the year and earning a second-class merit. At that time, he was just a company commander. Due to limited accommodation in the army, he shared a dormitory with another company commander from the second battalion.

When he brought in a beautiful female comrade, Company Commander Zheng was a little surprised. "Red Army, is this your sister? You have such a beautiful sister?"

Zhou Hongjun completely ignored the look of amazement on Company Commander Zheng's face. An awkward expression flashed across his face, but after thinking for a moment, he decided to tell the truth. After all, Ning Yan seemed a bit reckless, and if he dared to lie, he would probably be exposed on the spot. "This is Ning Yan, my fiancée."

Upon hearing that Ning Yan was Zhou Hongjun's fiancée, Company Commander Zheng's expression flashed with regret, then he asked in surprise, "Your fiancée? You have a fiancée and..."

He swallowed the rest of his words, his opinion of Zhou Hongjun plummeting. Having a fiancée and still openly pursuing Bai Moli—this man's character was questionable.

"Since your fiancée is here, you'd better spend some quality time with her. Or I can help you take a day off."

Zhou Hongjun quickly refused: "No need, I'll take her to the guesthouse later, no need to ask for leave."

Company Commander Zheng lowered his eyelids slightly, said nothing more, simply grunted an "Mm," and left.

After he left, Zhou Hongjun's expression immediately changed. "Why didn't you call ahead? I wasn't prepared at all. Who sent you?"

They got engaged the year before last. Last year, he was transferred to his current unit and met Bai Moli, the regimental commander's daughter. He had no feelings for Ning Yan, so he never paid her any attention. When Ning Yan came to his door, he felt only annoyance and anger, and his mood was terrible.

What do you want to prepare?

Zhou Hongjun choked for a moment, then realized that it was no wonder he didn't like her; there was a reason for it. Her personality was just not likable, so what good was it if she was beautiful?

"Okay, you can sit down now, I'll go get you some food."

"Wait, you want me to eat in the dorm? Am I someone to be ashamed of? I want to eat in the cafeteria."

Zhou Hongjun: ...

Finally, Ning Yan was taken to the cafeteria. She was good-looking and had dressed up specially before coming.

Unlike the current fashion of women, her long hair was not styled into a braid, but tied up in a high ponytail. She wore a white floral dress, she wore sheer stockings and matching leather sandals, and her main style was pure, clean and unpretentious.

When he arrived at the cafeteria, he was very outgoing and greeted everyone around him with a smile. He spoke fluent Mandarin and had two dimples when he smiled. Who wouldn't praise him when they saw him?

Company Commander Zheng, who had arrived earlier, looked at Zhou Hongjun with even more disdain. Comrade Ning was clearly prettier and more polite than Bai Moli.

Bai Moli always speaks in a condescending manner, and she has referred to soldiers from rural areas like them as "mud-legged" more than once. How could someone like that possibly be interested in Zhou Hongjun?

Hmm, Comrade Ning looks prettier eating than Bai Moli.

...

After leaving the cafeteria, Zhou Hongjun offered to take her back, and Ning Yan nodded, but didn't let him take her. "You go ahead with your work. The guesthouse is only a few hundred meters away from here. I can go back by myself. I can't let you delay your work because of me."

Zhou Hongjun only wanted her to leave, not really wanted to see her off. He stopped when Ning Yan spoke.
