He Yanzhi's words made Gu Siyu's face turn pale, and she subconsciously retorted, "Yanzhi... I... I'm only doing this for her own good. If she really can't have children, you..."
"What's it to you?!" This was the first time He Yanzhi had shown such disrespect to a female comrade. His expression was frighteningly gloomy, and he still protected Guan Wenru behind him.
Her voice was so cold it seemed to freeze someone to death, “Comrade Gu Siyu! Watch your words! Today is my wedding day, He Yanzhi’s big day, not a place for you to spread rumors and stir up trouble!”
My wife's health is a matter between her and me, and it has nothing to do with anyone else! It's certainly not something I need to report to you!
Guan Wen glanced at his profile, a slight smile playing on his lips. No matter which life He Yanzhi was in, he was always so good!
She loved him so much that she wanted to hide him away.
Gu Siyu was humiliated and her face turned pale.
Before she could say anything, He Yanzhi continued, "If you're here to offer your blessings, you're welcome. But if you're here to cause trouble, please leave immediately!"
Gu Siyu's face flushed red and then turned pale after being so harshly reprimanded by He Yanzhi in public. Especially when she saw the disapproving and even condemning looks from the people around her, she felt even more ashamed and indignant. Her lips trembled as she tried to say something.
Seeing this, Wan Tao quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
He grabbed Gu Siyu's arm and said sternly, "Battalion Commander Gu! You've had too much to drink! Come on, I'll go with you to sober up!"
As he spoke, he half-forcibly pulled the resentful Gu Siyu away from the scene.
This little incident made the atmosphere a bit awkward for a moment.
But soon, with the deliberate encouragement of the leaders and comrades, the scene became lively again.
Everyone tacitly stopped talking about that topic and raised their glasses to offer their blessings to the newlyweds, as if the unpleasantness from just now had never happened.
Guan Wenru's mood wasn't affected much.
She's not a young person with an unstable mindset anymore.
After the wedding banquet, He Yanzhi, holding Guan Wenru's hand, returned to the new house he had prepared, amidst the cheers and blessings of his comrades.
It was a coincidence, and it was the same room in Courtyard No. 1.
As Guan Wenru pushed open the door, her eyes lit up.
The room had clearly been carefully decorated.
The walls were painted white, the windows were decorated with red paper-cut window decorations, and the bed was covered with brand-new sheets and blankets printed with mandarin ducks playing in the water.
A desk, two chairs, a brand-new thermos, and a pair of enamel mugs printed with the red character for "happiness".
Although simple, it exudes care and warmth in every detail, a stark contrast to the dark and cramped house of the Han family.
“This will be our home from now on.” He Yanzhi looked at her with gentle eyes and a hint of anticipation. “Let’s see if we need anything else, and I’ll go and get it tomorrow.”
Guan Wenru shook her head, feeling a warm glow in her heart. "It's already very good. I like it very much."
"You must be tired after a long day. I'll go boil some water."
As He Yanzhi spoke, he pointed to the brand-new enamel basin and towel in the corner, "You sit down for a while, I'm going to take a shower, I smell of alcohol on me."
As he spoke, he took a change of clothes and went into the cramped bathroom.
Soon, the sound of rushing water came from inside.
Guan Wenru sat on the edge of the bed with the new sheets, looking around the small space filled with He Yanzhi's atmosphere, feeling a sense of security and anticipation for her new life.
After a while, He Yanzhi came out wearing a clean military green shirt and trousers, his hair was still wet and dripping water, and he exuded a refreshing scent of soap and moisture.
He looked at Guan Wenru with gentle eyes, "The water should be hot now, go take a shower and relax."
Guan Wenru nodded, took the prepared clean clothes, and went into the bathroom.
The warm water washed away the day's fatigue and noise, gradually calming her chaotic mind.
The issue of infertility was like a thorn in her side, and she felt it necessary to have an honest conversation with He Yanzhi about it.
Half an hour later, Guan Wenru came out, drying her wet hair. She was wearing a red polyester shirt, which made her skin look even whiter.
He Yanzhi was sitting at his desk reading and waiting for her. When she came out, he put down his book, took the towel from her hand naturally, and said softly, "Sit down, let me dry you, otherwise you'll get a headache."
Guan Wenru obediently sat on the edge of the bed.
He Yanzhi stood behind her, gently and carefully wiping her long hair.
His fingers would occasionally touch her scalp and neck, bringing a tingling sensation.
A faint scent of soap and a silent warmth filled the air.
After a moment of silence, Guan Wenru took a deep breath and finally made up his mind, "I will speak."
"Hmm?" He Yanzhi responded without stopping his work.
“Today… what Gu Siyu said…” She paused, feeling the man behind her seem to slow down a beat, “My body… does have some problems. I injured my body before… and the doctor said… it’s highly likely that I will have difficulty having children again.”
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head slightly, waiting for the reaction of the person behind her.
Even though she knew that He Yanzhi wouldn't care, she still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
He Yanzhi stopped drying his hair completely.
The room was silent for a few seconds.
Then, Guan Wenru felt him walk around to her side, slowly squat down, and meet her gaze.
His expression was unusually serious, without the slightest surprise or disappointment, only full of heartache and determination.
He held her hands, looked intently into her eyes, and said clearly and solemnly, word by word, "Wenru, listen carefully."
"I, He Yanzhi, am marrying you because of who you are! Because you are Guan Wenru! You are the 'blue sky' I've been searching for all these years! You are the person I've always wanted to spend my life with!"
