Xia Anyan stared at the person in front of her for a long time before finally realizing that he...could be her fiancé?
How did he end up here?
Zhou Chuan could hardly believe what he was hearing.
He stared intently at the two people, as if trying to see right through them.
He gritted his teeth: "Xia Zhiqing, is what he said true? If it's false, tell me boldly, and I promise I won't let anyone bully you."
Xia Anyan pursed her lips and nodded after a long while: "If I haven't mistaken him for someone else, then he should be him."
A smile appeared on Gu Shen's lips.
He only needed to be sure that Xia Anyan approved of him; he didn't care about anyone else.
Gu Shen stood in front of Xia Anyan, facing Zhou Chuan: "Comrade, my fiancée has already made herself very clear. Can we have some time to talk this over?"
Xia Anyan felt that it was a complicated matter.
She didn't know what to say.
How did this newcomer end up going up against Zhou Chuan?
"Xia Zhiqing, what do you say?" Zhou Chuan did not reply immediately, but looked at Xia Anyan.
What could she say?
"Captain, you should go back quickly. Comrade Gu and I have some things to talk about. I will go back after we finish talking."
Zhou Chuan left in anger.
He walked a distance before remembering that he needed to keep watch from here.
He wanted to pursue Xia Anyan and couldn't let her be taken away by someone else, not even her fiancé.
Xia Anyan had no idea that Zhou Chuan was watching them from not far away.
She looked at Gu Shen: "How did you get here? Did Grandpa tell you?"
"Although we are indeed engaged, you should know about my family situation, and I don't want to implicate you."
Grandpa said that Gu Shen is a good person.
Besides, he's doing quite well in the military, there's really no need for him to take such a risk for her.
“We are engaged, as you have admitted, Yan Yan. I came here this time because I want to marry you.”
"As long as you agree, I can submit the application to the military right now. I've already got the marriage certificate, look!"
Gu Shen took out the slightly crumpled paper from his pocket and handed it to Xia Anyan.
The words "Marriage Report" were clearly written on it.
Xia Anyan didn't know what to say.
This man is really persistent, and he seems to treat her quite well too.
Thinking about what might happen next, Xia Anyan decided to have a good talk with him.
"How about we go to a state-run restaurant, find a seat, and have a chat?"
Gu Shen certainly wouldn't refuse.
The two walked together toward the state-run restaurant, with Zhou Chuan following closely behind them.
Seeing the two of them walk together towards the state-run restaurant, and head straight for a private room, he was so angry that his eyes turned red.
I wanted to catch up, but I had no excuse or reason, which almost drove me crazy.
Inside the private room, Xia Anyan recounted the events that had occurred recently.
Her eyes were fixed on Gu Shen, wanting to see his first reaction.
Actually, she knew very well what kind of person Gu Shen was, but... she still couldn't make up her mind for the time being.
“Yanyan, I came here to find you. It was Grandpa who sent me the telegram. When I learned what happened over there, I regretted not being by your side.”
"Over the years, I've been waiting for your approval, but I've overlooked what you've been through. I'm sorry, it's my fault, I didn't protect you."
Xia Anyan felt as if she had been struck hard in the chest by something.
Neither she nor the original owner ever put Gu Shen first.
The original owner didn't actually have any feelings for him; in fact, she even disliked him.
The two were not a good match in terms of social status, but the events of that year brought them together.
Xia Anyan couldn't figure out whether Gu Shen had feelings for her or for the original owner. She wasn't stupid; how could she not know?
"You haven't done anything to wrong me, and you were already by my side the moment I stood up for you."
"But I need some time. There's no way I can agree to be with you right now. If you're willing, then wait for me for two days, and I'll give you my answer after two days."
Gu Shen certainly wouldn't refuse.
He took his annual leave this time, which lasted a month.
He had thought it through clearly. If Xia Anyan was willing to marry him, he would first take his people back to see Grandpa Xia, then hold the wedding, and then take his people to accompany him to the military base.
If Xia Anyan disagrees, he will use this month to arrange everything for her.
He could guarantee that he would do everything in his power for Xia Anyan and would never let her regret choosing him.
After chatting for a while, the two ordered a few dishes and sat down to eat.
We ate and chatted, and time flew by; two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
But Zhou Chuan stood outside the door the whole time, and every minute and every second he experienced felt like he was being fried in a pan of oil.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Zhou Chuan couldn't wait any longer and rushed inside.
As he entered, he happened to run into two people who were walking out of the private room, chatting and laughing.
Xia Anyan stared at Zhou Chuan for a while: "Captain, haven't you gone back yet?"
Zhou Chuan said with a dark face, "Xia Zhiqing, I just went to the commune to take care of something and saw your bicycle parked outside, so I thought I'd come in and take a look."
"It's already so late, haven't you finished chatting yet? It's better for a man and a woman to stay together so late, otherwise there will be bad gossip."
"I'm just about to go back to the brigade, why don't you come with me?"
Zhou Chuan's words were clearly directed at Gu Shen, and he had already expressed his attitude: he didn't want the two of them to be together.
Xia Anyan, however, didn't seem to care.
However, Gu Shen noticed that something was wrong with Zhou Chuan.
It's not enough for just a captain's concern for his team members to cause such a thing to happen.
This suggests that Zhou Chuan may have ulterior motives towards his fiancée.
"Are you Captain Zhou? Hello, my name is Gu Shen, I'm from Dong Province. I'm here and would like to stay at the brigade. Could you please help me make arrangements?"
Zhou Chuan's face was dark, and he exuded a cold aura.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Comrade Gu, there is no extra space in our brigade. Why don't you stay at the guesthouse instead?"
Xia Anyan stared at Zhou Chuan, somewhat confused.
Logically speaking, Zhou Chuan shouldn't have refused.
"Oh, since Captain Zhou is unwilling, then I'll have no choice but to stay at the guesthouse."
“Yanyan, I live in the guesthouse next to the commune. Come and find me anytime if you need anything.”
