Seeing that he was refusing to leave, Lu Zhengting came over and pushed him.
"If you care about your reputation, leave here on your own. Don't wait for me to kick you out."
Gu Mingzhou sighed. Seeing so many people present, he decided to hold back for now.
He had bait to lure Lin Qingyan into a trap, but he couldn't rush things. He had to make good use of this bargaining chip to coax Lin Qingyan back.
"Fine, since you don't welcome me even though I've come here to sincerely congratulate you, I won't linger here. I'll just leave."
He didn't leave the things behind, but wisely took them with him.
After the performance, Battalion Commander Zhang asked Lu Zhengting, "What exactly happened between you guys?"
“He used to be my wife’s fiancé, but my wife dumped him.”
Battalion Commander Zhang immediately understood and nodded.
Before long, Feng Yidong arrived, but he didn't come alone; he came with Liu Manman.
Liu Manman handed two cans of fruit and two packets of pastries to Lin Qingyan: "Sister-in-law, these were bought by Yidong. I came along with him for a free meal. I'm uninvited, you won't be unwelcome, will you?"
"No, no, how could I not welcome you? You're Yi Dong's boyfriend, so it's only right that you come with him."
Feng Yidong immediately went to explain to Lu Zhengting, "Brother Ting, I didn't call him. He insisted on coming with me."
"It's alright, it's alright. You're practically family now, why bother with all that?"
Feng Yidong was a little embarrassed. Why wasn't he happy when he heard Lu Zhengting's words?
Before and after, two other company commanders, Hu Xinpeng and Shen Mengfei, also arrived, along with a young woman pulling a child. Lin Qingyan thought this must be one of their wives.
Hu Xinpeng and Shen Mengfei were both in their early twenties, with Hu Xinpeng appearing slightly older than Shen Mengfei. Hu Xinpeng had a dark complexion and looked like a rough, unrefined man. Shen Mengfei, on the other hand, was more handsome and, at first glance, looked like a scholar.
Upon meeting Lin Qingyan, they were introduced by Lu Zhengting. Hu Xinpeng, who was two years older than Lu Zhengting, naturally addressed Lin Qingyan as his younger brother and sister-in-law. Shen Mengfei, who was one month younger than Lu Zhengting, called Lin Qingyan "sister-in-law" and gave her the gifts he had brought.
"You're all too kind."
Hu Xinpeng also introduced his wife to Lin Qingyan, saying, "This is my wife, Wu Hongying. You two can visit each other and chat in the future."
“Okay, sister-in-law, my name is Lin Qingyan, you can just call me Qingyan, please have a seat.”
Lin Qingyan invited them to sit down and gave candy to the children that Hu Xinpeng and Wu Hongying had brought.
Seeing that Sister Zhang was helping out in the kitchen, Wu Hongying felt embarrassed to sit there, so she followed her.
"Qingyan, let me do it with you."
During the meal, everyone praised Lin Qingyan's cooking skills.
The men all envied Lu Zhengting for finding such a good wife.
After dinner, Liu Manman took Feng Yidong and left first. Zhang Saozi and Wu Hongying helped Lin Qingyan pack her things before going home with her husband.
Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting were left alone again. Lu Zhengting carried Lin Qingyan back to the room, put her on the kang (a heated brick bed), and carefully massaged his wife's shoulders and legs.
"Honey, you've worked so hard today."
"It's nothing, it shouldn't be as tiring as your training."
After Lu Zhengting finished massaging his wife, it was her turn to treat his injuries.
The process was as intense and exciting as ever, but it just couldn't reach the peak.
Lu Zhengting secretly counted the days. According to his wife, it would probably take less than half a month for them to reach their peak.
Gu Mingzhou and Lin Sisi will be sleeping in the same room again tonight. After what happened yesterday, Lin Sisi is being more cautious.
She was afraid that Gu Mingzhou would get angry, so she didn't dare to do anything to him, but she was also unwilling to give up such a great opportunity.
She took off her clothes again and wandered around the room at will.
She always takes off her clothes to sleep, and Gu Mingzhou can't use that as a reason to blame her.
This time, no matter what sound she made, Gu Mingzhou ignored her.
She was so angry that she gritted her teeth in anger.
She's like this now; even a monk wouldn't be able to resist breaking his vows in front of her, yet Gu Mingzhou is actually able to withstand it.
She lay down on the bed, grabbed the blanket, and buried her head in it.
Unbeknownst to them, Gu's mother had already been eavesdropping outside.
She stood at the door, not hearing any sound from inside, and frowned in confusion.
Both of them said they were working hard every day, and if they really worked harder, the situation inside must have been very intense, or you could hear their voices.
But she stood there for almost half an hour and heard nothing. Even if they deliberately suppressed their voices when they were performing the conjugal ritual, a husband and wife can't not say a word to each other.
Are these two hiding something from her?
Yesterday, she heard Gu Mingzhou's angry voice and suspected that there might be some conflict between them. Today, they haven't said a word to each other, which is definitely not normal.
She really wanted to push the door open and ask immediately, but after thinking about it, she realized that when she asked them in the morning, they wouldn't say anything, and if she asked them again now, she figured the result would be the same.
Anyway, she wasn't in a hurry to leave and return to Jinshi. She wanted to observe them more and make sure she understood the situation.
She quietly returned to her room, planning to come back and observe the next day.
In the middle of the night, Gu Mingzhou and Lin Sisi were sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams. Ever since Lin Qingyan arrived, all he could think about was Lin Qingyan. When he closed his eyes, Lin Qingyan's image was still in front of him.
Even though Lin Qingyan treated him badly and refused to let him get close, he still couldn't help thinking about her, and his desire to have her seemed to have become even stronger.
