When He Yanzhi ruthlessly shook off her hand, Guan Wenru felt a strange sadness welling up in her heart.
She frowned and asked directly, "You hate me?"
This shouldn't be happening!
It's March 66 now. Based on what He Yanzhi said when he proposed to her in her previous life, it's clear that He Yanzhi already liked her 66 years ago!
But just now... the fleeting coldness in his eyes chilled her to the bone.
She knew very well that it wasn't the look one should give to a loved one.
Could it be that... what He Yan said when he proposed to her in his previous life was a lie?
Upon considering this possibility, Guan Wenru pursed her lips, and the love in her eyes faded considerably.
He Yanzhi also realized that his behavior just now was too overreacting.
His brow was still furrowed. "I'm sorry, I just didn't expect anyone to touch me."
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and added, "Although we are now a legally married couple, we still need to be mindful of our image when we're out and about, and not get too close."
Guan Wenru: "..."
His words almost made her laugh in anger.
She really didn't understand what was wrong with He Yanzhi in this life.
However, if He Yanzhi really doesn't like her.
She didn't insist.
At worst, they can get a divorce after 10 years.
Her emotions came and went quickly; her face had returned to calm, and her tone revealed no emotion. "I just wanted to ask you, when are you going back to the army?"
"I have to leave early the day after tomorrow. I heard from Grandpa that you're going to come with me to join the army?"
Guan Wenru nodded, "Yes, I plan to bring my grandmother to your place to settle down."
He Yanzhi disagreed, saying, "The environment in the Northwest is harsh, and resources are even scarcer. You and your grandmother might not be able to endure that kind of hardship."
Guan Wenru certainly knew this.
But she remained resolute, saying, "We can endure this hardship. In short... my grandmother and I are determined to go with the military. If you don't want to live with us, you can apply for housing for us, and you can live in the military dormitory."
She knew that the military would definitely have dormitories.
He Yanzhi stared at her with his dark, deep eyes. Seeing that she was serious, he sighed softly, "Since you've made up your mind, then go. But you have to be prepared, because money can't buy everything there."
Guan Wenru nodded, "Thank you for the reminder."
She doesn't actually need to buy anything.
The things in her space are enough to feed several people for decades.
Guan Wenru didn't want to face his cold face, so she quickly explained the situation, "Tell me the address of the military base. You can go back by yourself the day after tomorrow. I need to stay here for a few more days to arrange things here. After everything is arranged, Grandma and I will go over by ourselves."
"OK."
With the matter resolved, Guan Wenru turned and left.
He Yanzhi frowned slightly and quickly followed, "My grandparents told us to go home for a meal after we get our marriage certificate."
"I'm busy today, you go back by yourself, I'll go see my grandparents later."
The moment she saw He Yanzhi with that smug face, she was so angry she wanted to scratch him.
So she didn't want to be with him at all right now.
He Yanzhi wanted to say something more, but Guan Wenru waved her hand and jogged away.
Watching her receding figure, He Yanzhi frowned even more deeply.
He didn't turn around and get into the car until her figure disappeared from sight.
Driver Xiao Li glanced at his commander's face, pursed his lips, and dared not utter a sound.
Wasn't his regimental commander and his wife here to get their marriage certificate?
Getting married is a joyous occasion, so why do you have such a sour face?
It's like we just got a divorce.
Seeing that Xiao Li hadn't started the car, He Yanzhi looked up and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"No...it's nothing." Xiao Li came to his senses and quickly started the car.
After driving for a while, he cautiously asked again, "Commander, where are we going?"
"Go back to the family compound."
"OK."
He Yanzhi frowned slightly, gazing thoughtfully at everything outside the car window.
He was thinking about the Guan family.
He had always known that Guan Wanxin was capable and resourceful; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to remain unscathed in such chaotic times.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country was extremely poor and needed to quickly restore and develop its national economy. Therefore, the leaders issued policies to encourage and support national capitalism.
It allows many people to do business.
It was around that time that Guan Wanxin founded several textile factories.
She not only solved many workers' employment problems for the country, but she was also willing to donate a large amount of assets when the country needed them most, such as funding the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Later, during the period of joint public-private ownership, Guan Wanxin also responded to the policy without hesitation and handed over all the textile factories to the state for operation.
How could someone as intelligent as Guan Wanxin be willing to abandon everything here and settle down in the Northwest with Guan Wenru?
There must be something fishy going on here!
Thinking this, He Yanzhi returned to the family compound and entered his home with a cold face.
Mr. He and Mrs. He are both wearing new clothes today and are sitting in the living room waiting.
From this day forward, the He family welcomes a new member.
The two elderly people were overjoyed.
But when they saw He Yanzhi return alone, looking rather unwell, the smiles on their faces vanished, and their brows furrowed.
Grandpa He spoke first, "Where's Wenru? Didn't we ask you to bring her back for a meal?"
"She has other things to do and won't be coming."
"!" Old Master He and Old Madam He exchanged a glance.
Both of them saw shock in each other's eyes.
But the two of them quickly realized what was happening.
Grandpa He stood up, walked up to He Yanzhi, and slapped him on the back. "You brat, did you bully Wenru?"
Although they hadn't had much contact with the child, they knew that he was polite and well-mannered.
Her elders have all asked her to come back for dinner, and under normal circumstances, she wouldn't refuse.
It must be that brat He Yanzhi who did something to upset her.
I have to say, this old couple is amazing; they even managed to guess that.
He Yanzhi didn't feel any pain from being hit and went straight to the point, "Grandpa and Grandma, what did you talk about with Grandma Guan when you went to the Guan family yesterday? Why did Guan Wenru want to marry me?"
Grandma He glared at him. "Why do you care about all that? Wenru is willing to marry you, that's your good fortune. That child is so wonderful, what... you're still complaining? Tell me quickly how you made her angry today?"
He Yanzhi wouldn't let her change the subject. "Grandpa and Grandma, if you don't tell me the truth today, I'll take Guan Wenru to get a divorce. You know I mean what I say."
He had a vague suspicion that... he had been tricked by Guan Wenru.
Perhaps... Han Haoxian was telling the truth; he never told Guan Wenru that he was sleeping on the first floor.
Guan Wenru also knew that the person lying on that bed was not her newlywed husband, but He Yanzhi!
If that's the case, then he doesn't need to feel guilty, nor does he need to sacrifice his marriage to protect her reputation!
