Chapter 203 explains that Commander Gu is in good health!
When the group returned to the military family compound, it was already getting dark.
However, an unusual military truck was parked at the entrance of the compound, and several unfamiliar faces were carrying luggage out of it with great difficulty.
Yang Yiyi was known throughout the courtyard for being a gossip, so she immediately went over to inquire.
A moment later, she ran back and whispered mysteriously, "It's the newly transferred deputy regimental commander, surnamed Zhou. He just arrived today and is staying in the empty little building next to us."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a woman walked out of the small building.
The woman had the latest trend of wavy perm and wore a well-tailored floral dress that accentuated her curves.
It stands out conspicuously against this plain military green background.
As soon as she came out, her bright, darting eyes landed squarely on Gu Beichen, the most eye-catching person in the crowd.
Handsome and tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, he looked both restrained and powerful in his military uniform.
The woman's eyes lit up instantly.
She swayed her hips as she walked gracefully over, a rich scent of face cream wafting through the air.
"This must be Commander Gu, right?"
Her voice was sweet and cloying, with a deliberately coquettish tone. "My name is Yun Lan. I'm the wife of Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou, who was recently transferred here. We'll be neighbors from now on. Please take good care of me, Regiment Commander Gu."
As she spoke, she even gave Gu Beichen a flirtatious wink.
However, Gu Beichen didn't even bother to glance at her.
He turned to the side, completely shielding Su Yue behind him and blocking her from that sticky gaze.
An invisible yet powerful aura instantly spread out, carrying an indifferent chill that kept strangers at bay.
Yunlan's outstretched hand, ready to shake hands, froze awkwardly in mid-air.
The smile on her face froze instantly, turning pale and then red, as if she had been slapped in public; she looked extremely ugly.
Just then, a man with a serious expression and the rank of deputy regimental commander walked quickly out of the house.
"Yunlan! What nonsense are you spouting!"
He first scolded his wife in a low voice, then immediately turned to Gu Beichen, stood at attention, and gave a standard military salute.
"Commander Gu, I'm sorry, my wife doesn't know the rules and has caused you trouble."
The man's attitude was very proper, but when he looked at Yunlan, there was a sense of estrangement and helplessness in his eyes.
Gu Beichen nodded lightly, which was taken as acceptance of his apology.
Yunlan was so angry that her husband humiliated her in public that she stomped her foot and stormed into the house.
The minor incident was thus resolved.
But Yun Mu, who was standing next to Yang Yiyi, felt something was off from the moment he saw the woman named Yun Lan.
Only after they had walked a distance did he pull Su Yue and Gu Beichen aside, lower his voice, and look at them with disgust and headache.
"Sister-in-law, Commander Gu, that Yunlan... is a distant cousin of mine who is not related to me at all."
“She…” Yun Mu seemed unsure of what to say, but finally managed to stammer out, “She has a terrible reputation back in our hometown. Her private life is very messy. I don’t know how she ended up marrying Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou. You should stay away from her in the future. She’s no good.”
Su Yue understood.
It seems that the peaceful days in this military compound are about to be disrupted again.
The next morning, in the military region's water room.
The military wives carried basins in and out, the sounds of running water and laughter mingling together, creating a lively atmosphere.
Because of her pregnancy, Su Yue only brought a small basin to wash two towels.
She had just turned on the tap when a strange, sarcastic voice came from behind her.
"Hey, isn't this Commander Gu's wife? She's pregnant and still washing things herself? That's really hard work."
It's Yunlan.
She carried a large, overflowing wooden basin and wobbled over, deliberately stopping next to Su Yue.
Su Yue ignored her and continued rubbing the towel.
Just then, Yunlan suddenly cried out "Ouch!" as if she had tripped over something, and her body lurched towards Su Yue.
She poured the full basin of icy well water straight at Su Yue's protruding belly!
The wives of the soldiers around gasped in surprise.
If she were splashed directly on the spot, Su Yue, who was pregnant with twins, would definitely be in serious trouble!
In the blink of an eye!
A tall figure flashed by like lightning!
Gu Beichen appeared at the door of the water room at some point. He took a step in front of Su Yue, stretched out his long arm, and pulled his wife tightly into his arms, using his back to completely block the fatal blow.
"Splash—"
A whole basin of bone-chilling cold water was poured over Gu Beichen's back.
His military uniform was instantly soaked, clinging tightly to his strong back, with water droplets dripping down the hem.
The entire water room fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene.
Su Yue leaned against her husband's warm and firm embrace, her heart still pounding.
She looked up and could only see Gu Beichen's cold, hard jawline.
Yunlan was also stunned; she hadn't expected Gu Beichen to suddenly appear.
Looking at the man who was soaking wet, she felt no remorse whatsoever. Instead, she was captivated by his heroic act of rescuing a damsel in distress and was about to plead for help.
"I'm sorry..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was frozen in place by an icy gaze.
Gu Beichen slowly turned around.
He didn't get angry, he didn't yell, he just looked at her calmly.
It was the gaze one gives to inanimate objects, devoid of any human emotion, carrying only a pure, soul-chilling murderous intent.
All the military wives present couldn't help but shiver and took a step back in unison.
That's terrifying.
Is this still the same aloof and taciturn Commander Gu?
This is clearly a tiger whose scales have been touched!
Gu Beichen parted his thin lips slightly, and the words he uttered were devoid of warmth, yet they struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.
"If there's a next time,"
"I can't guarantee whether your hands will still be able to hold the basin steady."
The color drained from Yunlan's face in an instant, her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word.
She had no doubt that this man could do what he said he would do.
The terrifying power emanating from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood made her legs go weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground on the spot.
Yunlan returned home dejectedly. As soon as she saw her husband, Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou, tears streamed down her face. She embellished her story, crying about how Gu Beichen had bullied her.
After listening, Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou simply looked at her coldly.
"I warned you long ago to behave yourself and not to provoke Commander Gu and his wife."
His voice was full of annoyance and warning, "Who do you think you are? How do you think I got this deputy regimental commander position? Don't cause me any trouble, or we'll both be out of here!"
The cold words shattered Yunlan's last illusions.
Looking at her husband's cold face, the grievances and resentment in her heart instantly transformed into an even stronger jealousy and desire to conquer.
Why should I?!
Why should Su Yue, that country girl, get all the love and care from a man like Gu Beichen?
She refused to accept it!
She's determined to steal that man away!
Yunlan was locked in the room by her husband and paced back and forth in anger.
As evening fell, she overheard two passing military wives whispering through a crack in the window.
"...Have you heard? Factory Director Su is carrying twins!"
"Really? My God, Commander Gu is amazing!"
twin?
Yunlan stopped abruptly.
She repeated those three words blankly, her anger and jealousy slowly replaced by an intensely burning and twisted desire.
She subconsciously licked her lips and muttered to herself.
"Twins...that means Commander Gu is in really good health..."
