Chapter 305 Waiting for her answer
As soon as Wen Ni asked that question, Lu Jinye's expression immediately turned somewhat amused and exasperated!
Even Baron and Qin Yuan, who were driving in the front, couldn't help but laugh and shake their heads repeatedly.
“I have never proposed to any woman.” Lu Jinye’s brows relaxed instantly. He reached out and lovingly placed his palm on her cheek, making her look at him before saying, word by word, with utmost seriousness, “In fact, the only person I have ever truly cared about is you!”
"I don't believe it." Wen Ni said bluntly, "You're a normal man, and you haven't had a girlfriend in twenty-eight years?"
"I'm truly sorry to disappoint you. In my twenty-eight years as a normal man, I have indeed never liked anyone else but you." Lu Jinye smiled, but then, as if suddenly remembering something, he paused for a moment and added, "However..."
"Ring ring ring—"
Wen Ni's cell phone, which was tucked in her pocket, rang at an inopportune moment, interrupting their conversation.
The screen lit up and showed a call from Song Yanfeng!
Lu Jinye glanced at it, his mood not very good.
"Boss! I heard from the captain that your hand injury is almost fully recovered? You'll be back with the team in the next couple of days!? When are you planning to come back? Long Ren, Leng Feng, and I will drive to pick you up!"
"Yes. I'm almost fully recovered and plan to go back to the unit tomorrow afternoon." Wen Ni slowly sat up straight. "However, you don't need to pick me up. I can just call a car to go back myself."
"You're going to call a car yourself? What about all that luggage? Your arms can't handle the weight yet, so we'll drive to pick you up. Send me your location!" Song Yanfeng insisted on coming to pick you up.
"Really, no need. I only have one suitcase."
Wen Ni had just said one sentence, before she could finish her sentence, when the phone was taken away by the person next to her.
She stared blankly at Lu Jinye, who was holding her phone. She watched as he calmly brought the phone to his ear and said to Song Yanfeng on the other end of the line, "You don't need to answer. I will personally take her back to the army."
"It's you again! Lu Jinye! Why are you always following our boss like a ghost?!"
On the other end of the phone, Song Yanfeng was furious.
Before he could even utter a few words, Lu Jinye hung up the phone!
The phone was handed back to Wen Ni.
“Lu Jinye, I remember Qin Yuan said that you have very important international conferences these days and can’t get away at all. You guys do your thing, I can manage on my own.”
"No matter how important it is, it won't make a difference if I take you two hours."
"All right."
Wen Ni understands him; once he decides to do something, no one can easily stop him.
The afternoon of the day I returned to the unit
Lu Jinye's car stopped right in front of the villa on time.
On the way back to the military base, he was driving, and she was sitting in the passenger seat.
"The international sales channel for the JR product line has changed. We sent Beituo to Alfa to communicate with them and make sure there are no mistakes."
"How are Zheng's underground businesses doing? Have they been successfully transferred to the Hua family yet?"
In the driver's seat, Lu Jinye, dressed in a light blue shirt and trousers, sat with his hands on the steering wheel, his long legs slightly bent, switching between the accelerator and brake with ease.
The Bluetooth headset hanging on my ear is always in a call.
For the entire hour, Wen Ni sat quietly in the passenger seat, looking out the window!
She knew every fork in the road so well that she could clearly remember where the streetlights had been replaced and where new asphalt had been laid.
I remember the last time he escorted her back to her unit, but back then she was on a mission in Myanmar, and she narrowly escaped death! More than half a year has passed so quickly, it seems like only a blink of an eye.
Even after the car was successfully parked outside the military base, Lu Jinye's phone kept ringing.
Frustrated, he frowned and simply turned off his annoying phone!
"If you keep doing this, they'll get anxious if they can't find you."
"They bothered us for an hour, so my brief disappearance for two minutes is no big deal!"
"But I've already arrived at my destination. You should go back and get back to work."
Wen Ni spoke softly, placing her hand on the car door.
Before she could even step out of the car, her arm was pulled back by a strong hand!
She was taken aback.
The next second, I felt my forehead bump against a pair of warm lips.
She blinked and looked at Lu Jinye's face, which was so close to hers!
His fingers caressed her forehead, his voice low and almost a whisper, "Promise me, you'll come back safe and sound this time too!"
"I will."
Wen Ni confidently raised an eyebrow at him, her hands behind her back clenching involuntarily, before decisively pushing open the car door and getting out.
Lu Jinye also got out of the car from the other side and helped her take her suitcase out of the trunk.
"Comrade, hello! This is a military control zone. Parking and loitering are prohibited unless there is a special reason!" A guard came out with his gun on his back and reminded him sternly.
"Hello, comrade, this is my identification. I belong to Unit 76482. I've returned to report for duty after my leave." Wen Ni saluted the guard and then handed over the green booklet.
The young guard was slightly surprised, but after taking the ID and glancing at it, he quickly stood at attention and saluted, "Good morning, sir!"
"Hello."
Wen Ni nodded to the guard, then took the luggage from Lu Jinye and walked with the guard toward the gate of the military base.
Looking at the red flag fluttering in front of the door and the stone tablet inscribed with the ironclad rules, she knew that her journey would likely be fraught with danger once again…
Thinking of this, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. The young guard beside her also stopped in confusion and turned his head to call out, "Sir? What's wrong?"
Wen Ni remained silent.
She turned around and looked at Lu Jinye's profile as he prepared to get into the car.
"Lu Jinye!"
"Um?"
Lu Jinye stopped abruptly, looked up at her, and looked at her with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"I'll give you the answer to the question you asked me the other day when I get back from the army!"
Without waiting for Lu Jinye's reply, she took off running with her suitcase and rushed into the gate. Before the guards could even react, she had already disappeared without a trace!
Outside the military base, Lu Jinye was still standing by the car door, stunned. After a long while, he finally understood and gave a bright smile from the bottom of his heart!
"I'm waiting for you, Wen Ni."
A soft, deep voice drifted in the winter wind!
Unit 76482, under the General Headquarters of the Army.
Behind the military building, on a straight stone-paved path.
The young woman, dressed in a military green uniform, walked with her head held high and strides forward. Holding her identification, she walked unimpeded into the logistics support restricted area!
Wherever the girl in military uniform went, she attracted everyone's attention.
Besides her exceptionally outstanding appearance and figure, what is even more eye-catching is the row of military medals pinned to her chest on her military uniform!
A group of soldiers carrying luggage and dressed in neat military uniforms passed by the gate of the restricted area.
They followed the young female officer the whole way, their eyes almost glued to her, unable to look away!
They watched her until she entered the restricted area gate for identity verification, and they couldn't help but turn around to look again.
"Put your eyeballs back in! If you don't want them, I won't mind digging them out and burying them!" the leading officer shouted sternly.
"Sir! I have a question!" a soldier shouted.
"You have questions? Sure! Everyone, stand still!" The commanding officer shouted coldly, then strode up to the soldier. "Tell me! What are your questions!"
"Sir! Back in my old company, I always heard this saying: 'A first-class merit is earned with one's life! A second-class merit is earned through injury! A third-class merit is earned by sweating profusely!'"
The soldier puffed out his chest, looking defiant.
"But the female officer we just saw also had a first-class merit medal hanging on her chest!"
"Yes, that female officer looks very young." The other soldiers also had doubts. "She doesn't seem to have any injuries. Are military medals so easy to get these days?"
"Could it be... another relative of some high-ranking official? Coming to the military specifically to gain experience and prestige?"
