Why is this world so unfair? It's one thing for her to be beautiful and capable, but she also marries a better man than them. What door did God close for her?

Not daring to utter another word, the two tried to minimize their presence.

They disappeared without a trace.

But they didn't realize that as soon as they turned around, many disdainful eyes fell on them.

Gu An'an and the other person had a pleasant conversation, discussing the specifics of how things would work, the general content of the job, and the benefits.

Especially the benefits and compensation. Let alone a part-time job, even a full-time one would be enough for top writers to fight tooth and nail for in later generations.

"Uncle Qin, Uncle Li, Commander Zhao, Political Commissar Fang, it's almost lunchtime. Why don't you have a simple meal at my place?"

After all, they came to support her, and it would be really inappropriate for her to go back on an empty stomach.

The two, who had never tasted Gu An'an's cooking, considered refusing, while Commander Zhao and Political Commissar Fang were still savoring the delicious food they had recently enjoyed.

"No need, I'll take them to the cafeteria."

Political Commissar Fang had a sweet tooth, but he still felt it wasn't good to eat at the expense of the wealthy every day.

Gu An'an glanced at Xiao Yuheng, who immediately understood.

"Everyone has come all this way just for us. It wouldn't be right for us to eat in the cafeteria. Let's just have a quick meal here."

"this?"

Qin Xiangdong looked at Commander Zhao and also felt it wasn't right. These days, no one is rich, and how could they, a few grown men, freeload off someone else?

"Let's eat here, Lao Fang. We're really lucky to have Lao Qin here today."

Political Commissar Fang was also laughing heartily. He was ultimately more composed than Regiment Commander Zhao, but with such delicious food in front of him, who could resist the temptation?

"That's right."

Qin Xiangdong and Li Hai were completely baffled. They were both leaders, so why would they be short of a meal?

The aroma wafted from the kitchen, and the two exchanged a glance, their mouths watering. It seemed that this young Gu was quite the all-rounder.

"Xiao Xiao, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I'll do this. You go and help Xiao Gu start the fire."

There were plenty of ingredients at home, and Gu An'an was quick with her hands, so she soon had the food on the table.

Well, today's meal was prepared on short notice, so it's certainly not as lavish as the housewarming party, but the color, aroma, and taste remain the same.

Li Hai was a bit better, after all, he was a scholar, and he could still maintain a certain image while eating. The others were all rough men, and their chopsticks were so clumsy that they left afterimages when they ate.

"Xiao Gu, your cooking skills are absolutely amazing! It tastes even better than what the head chef at the state-run restaurant makes."

Qin Xiangdong ate to his heart's content and was glad he hadn't had time to refuse, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to enjoy such a delicious meal.

"Indeed, with this skill, you would be very popular if you wanted to work in a state-run restaurant."

Li Hai felt a little regretful. He wished Gu An'an had really worked at a state-run restaurant. After all, his allowance was high, and he could easily afford to eat there every day.

Given the Xiao family's circumstances, such a scenario is definitely impossible.

Commander Zhao laughed heartily, "It's because of his excellent cooking skills, otherwise those rumors wouldn't have spread. But don't worry, Xiao Gu, you two can just relax and enjoy your lives. We'll take care of everything else."

Gu An'an remained modest, "Thank you, Commander Zhao. It's just some home-cooked food, I really don't deserve such praise."

The more modest she was, the more affectionate the others looked at her, since Gu An'an was old enough to be someone's daughter.

Everyone was very busy, so they all left after finishing their meal. Watching Xiao Yuheng washing the dishes, Gu An'an felt that her messed-up life was actually somewhat interesting.

Gu An'an took a few steps forward and leaned against Xiao Yuheng's back.

Are you tired?

Gu An'an nodded, "Why is it so difficult for us to live a simple life?"

After setting the clean bowls aside and wiping his hands with a clean cloth, Xiao Yuheng turned around and hugged Gu An'an. "Don't worry about those people. As long as we haven't done those things ourselves, we'll never have to worry."

“I know, but if this were in the village, I could stand in front of their house and curse them for three days and three nights.”

Gu An'an pursed her lips. After all, this was the military, and Xiao Yuheng was still the leader. There were many things that needed to be considered.

Hearing Gu An'an's childish words, Xiao Yuheng couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You! You'd be exhausted if you kept cursing for three days and three nights. It's not like my wife would do something that hurts the enemy a thousand while hurting herself eight hundred."

Xiao Yuheng's injuries had just healed. Although the two had shared a bed before, Gu An'an had prevented him from moving around too much for the sake of his health.

The atmosphere was just right, and the injury had healed. As he spoke, Xiao Yuheng suddenly picked the person up in his arms and strode towards the bedroom.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Gu An'an was genuinely startled by the sudden appearance of the domineering CEO plot.

"My wife still has time to think about those messy things. It seems she's too idle. Let's do something meaningful."

Looking at the handsome face so close to her, Gu An'an still liked it. She knew that Xiao Yuheng had been holding back lately, so she didn't mind what she was about to do. Instead, she stretched out her slender fingers and ran them over his face.

Are you sure there's enough time?

Xiao Yuheng estimated that time was indeed a bit tight, but at this point, it was impossible to stop him.

"I'll try to be as fast as I can."

......

It has to be said that Xiao Yuheng is very good at managing his time. Everything was finished just before it was time for him to go to work, but he still took care of Gu An'an as quickly as possible.

"I'm going to work now. If you're tired, get some more sleep. I'll cook dinner when I get back."

Gu An'an was indeed quite tired. It was clear that Xiao Yuheng's years of training hadn't been in vain; now it was all coming to her.

She waved her hand dismissively, not wanting to say a word, and turned over to continue sleeping.

Xiao Yuheng found this sight quite adorable. He tucked the blanket in, then turned the fire up brightly before quietly closing the door and leaving.

When Gu An'an woke up again, it was two hours later. She stretched and saw red marks on her arm, which made her so angry that she wanted to tear Xiao Yuheng to pieces.

I sat up and looked around; there was more than one place.

"You dog of a man."

Xiao Yuheng, who was discussing the next competition with Commander Zhao and Political Commissar Fang, suddenly sneezed twice in a row.

When I reach out and touch my nose, I always feel like someone is scolding me. What's wrong with me?

Since Xiao Yuheng said he would cook when he got back, Gu An'an felt at ease doing other things.

Having done too much translation work lately, Gu An'an felt she should stretch her muscles, so she flashed into her spatial dimension.

After eating all the fruits I liked, my previous displeasure vanished.

Anyway, she has opportunities that others wouldn't even dare to dream of, so why bother getting angry with those ignorant women? All she needs to do is slap them in the face.

If once isn't enough, try twice. Hit hard enough, and then no one will dare to say anything nonsense.
