This is happening in front of the regimental commander. It's really inappropriate for Lu Zhaolin to act like this; it could easily embarrass the other person.

What if he makes things difficult for me when we get back?

Lu Zhaolin noticed her concern and secretly reached behind his back to grab her hand.

With a gentle grip, it immediately lets go.

Clearly uncomfortable with being overly intimate in front of so many people, Song Qinghe looked up and saw that even his ears were bright red.

What should this man say to her?

The typical type is someone who's bad at games but loves to flirt, and they'll occasionally do something cute in a little way.

Zheng Deshan watched their interaction, his eyes narrowing slightly. This was interesting!

This is like a wild horse that has finally found a rein to tame it; the old Lu Zhaolin was never so easy to talk to.

This girl named Song Qinghe looks so delicate and frail, it's truly astonishing that she possesses such great abilities.

Since he came, he never intended to go back early.

Having finally met the old leader, I absolutely had to stay and have a good heart-to-heart talk with him.

As for other things, they can all be set aside.

Zheng Deshan quickly sent the other comrades he had brought back to the army to work. They were told to report what needed to be reported and follow the procedures, and not to be idle.

He stayed to freeload a meal and also to reconnect with his former superiors.

Not to mention the old leader, even Lu Dongzheng's current position is much higher than his own.

Associating with them will only bring benefits and no harm.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Lu Zhaolin is working under you now; in the long run, who knows who will need whom?

Zheng Deshan knew that with Lu Zhaolin's background and his own excellent military skills, his time on Qinshan Island was at most a temporary one.

Commonly known as gilding, once the time has passed, the higher authorities will not stand by and watch it waste its life here.

Lu Zhaolin was too embarrassed to keep putting on a sour face; he understood the principles he needed to understand.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am now; I would have been demobilized and sent back long ago.

Moreover, there's quite a lot he needs to do to get married.

Since the wedding invitations were sent out, many people from the village have come to give them money as a wedding gift.

Of course, some people choose to give gifts on the wedding day, while others feel that there will be more people on the wedding day.

So I came early to give a gift, and also to make my presence known to the old man.

After all, someone of Lu Zhengguo's status wouldn't come back often; it would be impossible for ordinary people like them to see him normally.

I heard that when they lived in Beijing, they usually stayed in their compound, rarely going out, and were always picked up and dropped off by cars.

Didn't you see that when they came back, they were accompanied by bodyguards?

Lu Zhengguo was busy catching up with Zheng Deshan. Even if he wasn't catching up, he probably wouldn't have the energy to deal with so many people.

So this important task fell to Lu Zhaolin, who was so busy that he barely had time to breathe.

Seeing this, Song Qinghe silently slipped away, leaving the matter of social interactions to Lu Zhaolin to worry about.

She's not very good at it, and she doesn't want to be good at it.

Song Qinghe simply hid in the kitchen to listen to Cui Mingzhen and Zhou Wanru talking.

Zhou Wanru was happy to see Song Qinghe, and the thought that she would soon be her daughter-in-law made her even happier.

He looked so happy, all smiles, and he was holding her hand affectionately as he spoke to her.

Cui Mingzhen was so happy to see her daughter being liked by her future mother-in-law that she didn't even notice Song Qinghe's slight unease.

Song Qinghe felt a little awkward and didn't know what to talk about.

Fortunately, it seems they didn't need to find topics to talk about; they managed to wrap up their own topics on their own.

Cui Mingzhen was new to the village and didn't know much about it.
