Chapter 654 Thank you

"Commander, even if you ask me to stay, I will never break up with Su Jin!" Xiao Yunfeng's knuckles were white as he gripped the microphone.

Qian Guangtao and Li Honghai stood nervously to the side. Although they couldn't hear what Lu Zhenjiang said through the microphone, they could glean some information from Xiao Yunfeng's expression.

"Are you sure? You won't transfer Su Jin out of the military region?" Xiao Yunfeng frowned even more, needing complete certainty.

...

"Okay, I understand, thank you, sir."

The call ended quickly.

But Xiao Yunfeng's expression remained unchanged.

"Yunfeng, what did the commander say?" Li Honghai immediately pressed.

Xiao Yunfeng glanced at Li Honghai, then at the equally nervous Qian Guangtao, his expression becoming increasingly complex.

"The commander said to pretend this never happened and told me to just do what I was supposed to do."

After a brief silence, Qian Guangtao and Li Honghai understood the meaning of Lu Zhenjiang's words and became excited.

"It's alright! It's finally alright!"

At this moment, the two of them truly felt relieved.

Qian Guangtao's gloom of the past few days vanished, and he immediately gestured to Li Honghai, "Help Commander Xiao put the packed items back where they belong."

He specifically emphasized the three words "Commander Xiao".

Despite their happiness, Xiao Yunfeng still felt something was amiss.

"Commander, don't you think this is too strange? Why would the commander suddenly change his mind?"

He could never truly feel at ease until he understood this.

Qian Guangtao patted him on the shoulder, "I know what you're thinking. Whatever the reason, the commander said to treat this as if it never happened, which means he won't make things difficult for Xiaojin or interfere with your relationship anymore. That's enough."

Li Honghai chimed in, "Yes, that's right. The leader's thoughts are always hard to fathom. If he doesn't want to say it, we'll rack our brains and still not figure it out, so let's not dwell on it!"

Xiao Yunfeng knew that dwelling on it now was useless, so he could only take it one step at a time.

However, what truly reassured him was the phone call Su Jin made half an hour later.

"Uncle, are you busy? Have you met with the commander?"

Upon hearing Su Jin's voice, even his gaze softened.

"I've seen him. The commander said I don't need to leave the army."

"Really? You're not kidding me, are you? Why would the commander suddenly change his mind? Did he make some other demands?"

Su Jin was clearly somewhat agitated, and she bombarded him with questions.

Her reaction dispelled Xiao Yunfeng's suspicion that she had met with the chief.

"No, none of them."

"Won't they interfere with our relationship?" Su Jin was still trying to confirm.

Xiao Yunfeng hummed in agreement.

Su Jin's voice, clearly relieved, came through the microphone: "I knew the commander wouldn't really let my uncle leave the army."

"I'm sorry to have worried you." Xiao Yunfeng knew that although she hadn't said anything, she must have been suffering even more than he had. "And thank you."

Thank you to her for standing firmly by his side at such a crucial time.

After a brief silence on the other end of the line, Su Jin spoke gently, "Then I should thank my uncle too."

He wanted her to become the most important person in his life.

Xiao Yunfeng smiled, his gaze lingering on the ring on his hand. From today onwards, they could finally be together openly, without any more scruples...
