Chapter 14 is really beautiful, won't you introduce her to your brother?
Ning Tang was walking forward with the guide when she heard a noise and turned around, only to be met with the man's deep eyes.
He was dressed in his battle uniform, his posture upright, but his brows were furrowed and his jawline was taut, making him look even more serious than usual.
Why are you here?
"You came by yourself?"
Xu Qiaofeng spoke in a low voice, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings as he spoke, instantly silencing those who had initially wanted to watch the spectacle.
Ning Tang, carrying the lunchbox, said softly, "Aunt Zhang has something to do, so Grandma asked me to bring you lunch."
"Captain Zhang drove me here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qiaofeng frowned even more deeply.
He rubbed his head, reached out and took Ning Tang's lunchbox. What didn't he know? His grandmother had deliberately sent him to the team.
As more and more people gathered, Xu Qiaofeng said, "Come with me, and I'll have someone take you back in a bit."
Ning Tang nodded.
She didn't want to be treated like a monkey in a zoo, being stared at and scrutinized.
Following Xu Qiaofeng up to the second floor, she walked on the inside. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but the man who used to walk with such a brisk pace seemed to be walking much slower than usual today.
Ning Tang didn't think much of it; maybe he was just tired from training.
As soon as Xu Qiaofeng arrived at the office, Pang Bo leaned over and nudged his arm.
He winked and said, "Captain, who's this girl? She's really pretty. Aren't you going to introduce her to your brother?"
Although their marriage was a contractual one, they had no feelings for each other.
But Xu Qiaofeng waved Pang Bo away, his tone flat: "Ning Tang, my family member."
When the word "family members" was uttered, Pang Bo almost choked on his own saliva.
Even Ning Tang was taken aback. They had never made their relationship so clear in front of outsiders before. She even thought that Xu Qiaofeng would try to cover it up.
Unexpectedly, he actually admitted it...
After sensing the signal, Pang Bo realized what was happening and immediately changed his tune with a grin:
"Oh, it's you, sister-in-law."
"How could I have been so blind? If I had known it was my sister-in-law, I should have helped Captain Xu go down to greet her earlier."
As he spoke, he tried to lean over and shake hands with Ning Tang, but was scared away by a glare from Xu Qiaofeng.
Look, she's definitely jealous!
Pang Bo was already imagining a scene in his mind. As soon as he left, the two closed the door...
Hehehe.
He wisely slipped away, not forgetting to give Xu Qiaofeng a knowing look before he left.
Only the two of them remained in the office.
After Ning Tang sat down, she said softly, "No need to trouble yourself, I'll leave after you finish eating."
"No rush."
Xu Qiaofeng opened the lunchbox and began to eat heartily.
He ate very quickly, but not in an unseemly way; on the contrary, he ate very elegantly. His hands, with their distinct knuckles, seemed to be holding not chopsticks, but works of art.
Ning Tang sat beside him, not saying much, but quietly observing him.
The sleeves of the combat uniform were rolled up to the forearms, revealing well-defined muscles.
The frown that was on his brow has relaxed a bit now, and he looks more gentle.
The scene from that night flashed through my mind...
That night was a blur; she forgot what happened, only vaguely remembering that he kept whispering to comfort her.
Her magnetic, husky voice is so sweet it could make your ears pregnant.
Ning Tang covered her flushed face, cursing herself for being so weak. Having lived two lives, she was still influenced by male beauty.
But across both lifetimes, she only had Xu Qiaofeng as a man.
She didn't speak, and Xu Qiaofeng was even less talkative.
The atmosphere inside the room became quiet for a moment.
The only sound was the sound of chewing food.
A short while later, Xu Qiaofeng tidied up the lunchbox, got up, took out a metal box from the cabinet, and handed it to Ning Tang.
"Inside are peach shortbread and pastries, all of which are snacks that you girls love to eat."
"I don't like sweets, you eat them."
Even though Grandma Xu had just told her yesterday that Xu Qiaofeng loved sweets, Ning Tang didn't point it out and thanked her quietly.
Xu Qiaofeng hummed in agreement, took the empty lunchbox to the sink outside, and when he came back, he poured her a glass of warm water.
With a baby in her belly, she got hungry easily, so Ning Tang didn't refuse and sat on the sofa to eat in small bites.
Xu Qiaofeng was still there when she finished eating and was about to leave.
Seeing Ning Tang looking at him with a puzzled expression, he said calmly, "Let's go. I've taken leave. I'll take you home in a bit."
Ning Tang paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
He took the initiative to speak, saving me the trouble of saying it myself. In any case, he is the father of the baby in my belly, and he should fulfill his responsibilities.
The two walked downstairs side by side, and the car was already parked when they got downstairs.
One minute later, the car drove away.
Seeing that Captain Xu had left, the soldiers hiding upstairs immediately ran towards Zhang Yanfei's office.
Their faces were filled with curiosity.
"Brother Zhang, who was that pretty woman just now? The guys on guard at the gate said she got out of your car."
"She seems to know Captain Xu quite well. Could she be his girlfriend?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Our Captain Xu has no humanity at all. What girl would be blind enough to date him?"
"Yeah, maybe she's a cousin or something. Brother Zhang, say something!"
Sitting in the chair, Zhang Yanfei remained silent, adjusted her glasses, and asked in return, "Didn't Xu Qiaofeng tell you who she is?"
"No, if Captain Xu had said so, we wouldn't be in such a hurry."
"Then I can't say." Zhang Yanfei smiled sheepishly, looking every bit the gentleman.
"No, Brother Zhang!" Several people anxiously circled around the table. "Please just give us a hint. That woman looked so gentle and kind. She and our Captain Xu looked quite compatible. If there's really something going on, we can prepare to congratulate her in advance."
"If it weren't for that kind of relationship, the last thing our team would have is a bachelor."
"Hehe, anyway, I've already set my sights on it, now I'm just waiting for what you say, Brother Zhang!"
A hint of gloom flashed in Zhang Yanfei's eyes, but his smile remained warm as he spoke in a deep voice.
“It’s not that I’m unwilling to say it, it’s just that it’s more appropriate for Qiaofeng to bring it up himself.”
"As you all know, he's introverted and stubborn. If I let it slip first, he'll hold a grudge against me."
"Besides, that woman doesn't look like she comes from an ordinary family. I advise you roughnecks to save yourselves the trouble."
Seeing the disappointed crowd, he secretly began to make plans.
He had worked under Xu Qiaofeng for several years and had only heard that Xu Qiaofeng liked Lu Niannian. Suddenly, Ning Tang appeared, pregnant with a child, and they got their marriage certificate in less than a day.
Given Xu Qiaofeng's personality, he would absolutely not agree to the marriage; it could only be that Commander Xu had given a firm order.
He was so cold to that girl just now.
Xu Qiaofeng doesn't know how to cherish women. Leaving such a beautiful woman alone in an empty room is a waste of her talent.
The thought of Ning Tang's alluring figure and exquisite face stirred up some inappropriate thoughts in his mind.
Xu Qiaofeng doesn't cherish it, is he capable of...?
The idea, once it popped into my head, grew wildly like weeds.
Zhang Yanfei stopped the soldier who was about to leave and asked, "Do you have a younger sister at home?"
“There are three, Brother Zhang.”
"Perfect timing, I have something I'd like to ask you," Zhang Yanfei called the person over, "What kind of gifts do girls usually like?"
"Girls love beauty and pretty clothes. If you're not short on cash, you can take them to the department store to buy some cosmetics. After a while, which girl wouldn't be tempted?"
As he spoke, he gave Zhang Yanfei a knowing look.
Zhang Yanfei nodded, and just as she was about to speak, the landline next to her suddenly rang. The operator said the number was unfamiliar and that it came from the countryside.
He thought it was a relative from the countryside, but after the call connected, a piercing scream rang out.
"Brother Fei, you finally answered the phone!"
Ning Xin, on the other end of the phone, burst into tears of joy and, holding the phone, recounted all the hardships she had endured during this time.
Completely oblivious to the silence on the other end.
Zhang Yanfei casually remarked that Zhang had mistaken her for someone else before hanging up the phone.
He has a rich romantic history, but he's not indiscriminate in his relationships. That woman just now was like a madwoman, screaming so loudly it almost made his ears bleed.
Besides, he was just about to pursue Ning Tang; what if she misunderstood him?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yanfei said to the operator, "Don't answer this number again."
