The guesthouse corridor echoed loudly, and He Ping was known for his loud voice.
His sudden shout startled Su Wanwan so much that she fell on her bottom, the pain bringing tears to her eyes.
But He Ping was a very straight man, and he had no idea of chivalry or tenderness towards women. Instead, he looked puzzled.
"Comrade Su, isn't your room on the third floor? Why are you on the fourth floor?"
"And what are you doing standing at our commander's door so late?"
Su Wanwan didn't expect this big, silly guy to be so blunt, and was about to open her mouth to explain when...
He Ping turned his back abruptly and covered his eyes with his hands.
"Comrade Su! You...you...could you please button up your clothes properly?!"
Whose lovely young lady would go out so lightly dressed so late at night, with two buttons missing from her shirt?
Also, their regimental commander is already engaged. In the middle of the night, is it appropriate for a young woman to come to him dressed so thinly?
Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan's face turned pale and then red, and she quickly covered her chest.
Just as I was about to tell him to shut up, the door to the next room opened with a click.
Jiang Si leaned against the door frame with her arms crossed. Huo Tingzhou was also about to come out and check the situation.
But after hearing He Ping's shout, he immediately sat back down.
Jiang Si didn't say a word, but Su Wanwan inexplicably felt a sense of humiliation as if she had been stripped naked.
In the end, he could only hastily come up with an excuse.
"The button on my coat popped off without my noticing. Thank you, Officer He, for reminding me."
Jiang Si didn't care about that; she just asked a question casually.
"Comrade Su, is there something you need from seeing my fiancé so late?"
The moment the words "fiancé" were uttered, Huo Tingzhou's eyes and brows unconsciously lit up with a smile.
Meanwhile, Su Wanwan outside the house was seething with hatred.
Ultimately, she was just too impatient!
Seeing that tonight's plans were all disrupted, Su Wanwan had no choice but to bite the bullet and say something.
"Actually, I came here today to tell Brother Huo that I will be taking the early bus back to the military hospital tomorrow morning."
"Since Brother Huo is not here, please ask Comrade Jiang to pass on my message."
After saying that, Su Wanwan fled the place as if she were escaping.
Huo Tingzhou only left the room after confirming that the person had left.
Seeing his commander, He Ping scratched his head. Although it wasn't good to talk about a girl like that behind her back, he really thought Comrade Su was quite immoral.
"Commander, I don't think she has good intentions."
"That button wasn't popped open; she's trying to use her beauty to seduce you..."
"Cough—cough—"
Huo Tingzhou cleared his throat, interrupting him.
"Alright, it's getting late, you should go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, go back to the unit first thing and submit the marriage report and the application for the family compound for me."
Marriage report?
It sounds like it's going to work out!
He Ping's mouth instantly widened into a grin like a trumpet. "Yes, Commander! Mission accomplished!"
As he was about to go downstairs, he suddenly remembered something and asked again, "Commander, what about the vehicle?"
The military has regulations; returning to the military region from the provincial capital has exceeded the time limit.
If someone with ulterior motives sees this, they will definitely use it to make a fuss.
“It’s alright, your sister-in-law can drive,” Huo Tingzhou said.
He'll drive for two hours, and when we're almost at the military region, she'll take over.
Jiang Si smiled and nodded. In fact, the original owner of this body had learned to drive at the age of 15.
Back then, Shanghai didn't have very strict regulations on driver's licenses, so the original owner would often drive to the suburbs for a spin when she had free time.
As for her in later years, she was also a seasoned driver with nearly ten years of experience, so driving was not a problem for her.
"Don't worry, I'm a pretty good driver," Jiang Si said.
He Ping was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up, "Sister-in-law, you're really awesome!"
These days, there are very few men who can drive, let alone women.
Even if someone can drive, they're not as good-looking as my sister-in-law.
Ultimately, it's their group leader who's really lucky!
After He Ping, the "third wheel," left, Huo Tingzhou explained the situation to Jiang Si.
“I don’t know her well, and I don’t know why she suddenly came to Qiongzhou Island.”
"I swear, I have never messed with any lesbian in all these years."
"Yes, yes, I believe you."
Jiang Si wasn't really angry; she was just stating a fact with a smile.
"You didn't provoke anyone, but with that face of yours, it's really hard for people not to have their eyes on it!"
Huo Tingzhou experienced the same distress the very next day.
Because she was going to the department store to buy things for her new home today, Jiang Si specially changed into a pair of white Warrior sneakers before leaving home.
She wore a pure white shirt on top and a dark green pleated long skirt on the bottom, the length of which was just below her calves.
Her hair was braided into a loose single braid, and finally tied at the bottom with a matching dark green ribbon.
There was no need for makeup; Jiang Si only applied a little almond honey that Huo Tingzhou had bought for her yesterday.
After she finished getting ready, she glanced at herself in the mirror.
Jiang Si has a typical head that encircles her face, with a smooth and rounded forehead and fair and firm skin.
She has a pair of big, bright almond-shaped eyes, a delicate and small teardrop-shaped nose, and an exceptionally perfect facial proportion.
Even without makeup, she is breathtakingly beautiful.
As they went downstairs, not only Huo Tingzhou, but even the front desk staff were visibly stunned for a moment.
They simply couldn't reconcile the image of this sweet and soft-looking fairy with that of the disheveled girl from yesterday.
