Chapter 356 Apology
Chu Mingzhou had never seen Lin Anan like this before, and he immediately realized that there was something wrong with his attitude just now.
He stuffed the paper into his pocket, stood up and ran after him.
"Hey, Mingzhou, the food is ready. Where are you going?" Aunt Chu shouted hurriedly when she saw two people hurriedly leaving the main hall.
"Aunt, you guys eat first."
Chu Mingzhou chased into the house and saw Lin Anan sitting at the desk, her knuckles turning white as she gripped the pen.
The dim light in the room stretched her shadow very long, casting a trembling arc on the blue brick floor.
"An An," he stretched out his hand to touch her, but froze in mid-air... Lin An An's back was stretched straight, like a hedgehog with spikes erected.
Chu Mingzhou took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "An An, it's my fault. I shouldn't have spoken to you loudly without understanding clearly, and I shouldn't have spoken to you with emotion.
I was too worried. The black market is the most chaotic place in the northwest, with all kinds of people. You are pregnant, so I am very scared..."
He walked up to Lin Anan, squatted down, and gently held her hand.
Lin Anan's hands were a little cold, so he wrapped them tightly with his own hands, trying to warm her.
"Of course I know you won't do anything speculative. I don't distrust you."
Lin Anan looked at Chu Mingzhou, the anger in her eyes subsided a little, and she looked aggrieved, "Chu Mingzhou, I don't want to spend the night with you in conflict. Since you realize your mistake, please apologize to me."
Her official tone made Chu Mingzhou's heart ache. "An An, I'm sorry. It's my attitude that's wrong. I apologize to you."
Lin Anan pursed her lips. Even though she was looking at such a fragile person, her tone was too strong. "This is the only time, and the last time."
"Okay, I promise you, there won't be a next time."
Chu Mingzhou knew very well that Lin Anan was not someone who was easy to talk to. She didn't treat him perfunctorily, nor did she ignore him. She meant every word she said.
"Chu Mingzhou, someone is trying to harm me!"
"I know."
"That's the person you brought back."
Lin Anan was still upset. Chen Lefang kept calling Chu Mingzhou her savior, but she didn't want to stay in the Northern Military Region, and was transferred to the Northwestern Military Region where the conditions were difficult. Everyone knew why.
"I didn't bring Chen Lefang back here. She has no feelings for me. I have already started to deal with this matter today. You have to tell me the specific details of today."
Seeing him talking and moving towards her, Lin Anan simply stood up and sat on the kang.
Seeing that she really didn't want to pay attention to him, Chu Mingzhou was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead in such a cold weather.
“An An…”
Leaned forward again.
Lin Anan raised her hand to push the person away. "My mom heard that deer antlers were sold on the black market, so she wanted to go and have a look, and buy some to nourish my dad and you. It only took her about ten minutes to go in and out of the black market. She didn't buy any deer antlers, but she did buy a piece of Poria cocos."
After saying that, Lin Anan took out Poria cocos from her coat pocket, opened the package and spread it out for him to see.
There really isn’t much, at most just over half a pound, about one or two dollars.
"I admit that my mother, as a military dependent, should not have gone to the black market, an informal trading place. I failed to supervise her properly. It is my responsibility. I will immediately write a self-criticism and submit it, and take the initiative to admit my mistake."
Chu Mingzhou quickly took Fuling away from her hand and held her tightly, "Wife, this is not your fault."
Lin Anan glared at him, not accepting his flattery at all. "When we were leaving, we happened to run into the patrol team cracking down on speculation. People from the black market rushed out, and it was very chaotic. Among them was Chen Lefang.
In her panic, she fell down, not only dropping the unsalable goods from the supply and marketing cooperative, but also a lot of deer antlers and imported medicines. There was an icon on the package of the imported medicine, which was very similar to an icon you brought back when you seized the enemy's hideout. There must be something wrong with this person."
After Lin Anan finished speaking, Chu Mingzhou immediately responded and said seriously: "I will personally communicate with the investigation team and apply for an investigation into Chen Lefang's background and recent movements. I will definitely clear your name."
Lin Anan sighed and rubbed her temples tiredly. "I'm not afraid of being investigated. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. I'm just angry that you don't believe me. We've been through so much, and I thought you would understand and support me unconditionally under any circumstances."
Chu Mingzhou came closer again, and without waiting for Lin Anan to struggle, he hugged her tightly in his arms, and said in a very soft voice, "It's my fault. No matter what happens in the future, I will always stand by you at the first moment."
Lin Anan hummed twice, accepting his apology, leaning against Chu Mingzhou's arms with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Chen Lefang and I left Changli Road almost at the same time. It's unusual that she could return to the military region so quickly and write a letter of denunciation."
"You mean...she has a car?" Chu Mingzhou reacted quickly.
At that time, the bus to the military compound was delayed due to an accident. Lin Anan and the other two waited for a long time, and no other buses passed by during that time.
If she had walked or ridden a bike, she wouldn't have been able to go that fast.
There is no other option except the sedan.
Unless Chen Lefang can fly!
"You should investigate the icon I drew for you. Chen Lefang has only been in Northwest China for a short time, but he dared to resell imported drugs of unknown ingredients on the black market. There must be some unknown secrets.
Moreover, she dared to identify me so blatantly, she must be fully confident of harming me. Even if she was afraid that I would identify her when I returned to the military area, she wanted to strike first, but it shouldn't be like this..."
Chu Mingzhou frowned, as if he was connecting a lot of things together.
He quickly kissed Lin Anan on the forehead and said, "You've been tired all day. Go eat. I'm going back to the army."
"Ah? We haven't even finished our fight yet! I'm still going to have the cold war with you."
Chu Mingzhou was amused by what she said, but he didn't dare to laugh. He could only cough lightly, "An An, we won't quarrel. We will never quarrel in our whole life."
Lin Anan snorted again, raised her hand and wiped the place he had kissed, with a look of disgust on her face.
Chu Mingzhou picked up his coat, put it on, and walked out of the room holding Lin Anan’s hand.
Mother Lin and Aunt Chu were pacing around the entrance of the main hall, fearing that the young couple would quarrel over something...
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the two of them coming out holding hands.
"An'an, Mingzhou, come quickly, come and eat."
Chu Mingzhou patted Lin Anan's hand and said, "Go eat first, no need to wait for me."
"I won't wait for you." Lin Anan shook her hand, pulled her hand out, and went straight into the main hall.
"Mom, aunt, I have to go to the army for something urgent."
"You're still going so late? Okay, I'll leave some rice in the pot for you."
