Gu Shen's face fell, and he looked listless.
Gu's father slapped him on the back: "What are you doing? People are watching. If you do this, they'll think you regret marrying Ayan."
With just one sentence, he successfully lifted Gu Shen's drooping lips again.
Not only that, but his mouth was stretched even wider.
After the dinner party, Gu Shen felt like his lips were about to cramp.
Xia Anyan couldn't stop laughing when she saw him.
"What are you doing? If you don't want to laugh, then don't. It looks really ugly." As she spoke, she laughed so hard she couldn't straighten up.
Gu Shen looked at her, his eyes deep.
He forced a smile and then suppressed it.
so……
"Wife, do I look really ugly when I smile?" His tone was flat, as were his eyes.
Xia Anyan looked up at him only after she had finished laughing.
When Xia Anyan met those eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
It has to be said that Gu Shen's appearance is truly captivating.
He has a very masculine appearance, but it's not overly exaggerated.
Especially his eyes; when he looks directly at you, you can't help but be drawn in and captivated.
Those lips, too, are...
"Cough, it's fine."
Gu Shen saw the blush on her face and was in a good mood.
"Honey, I have something I want to tell you."
Xia Anyan was puzzled for a moment, and then the two found a secluded place.
"What's wrong?" Xia Anyan thought something had happened at the military base.
But what she was about to say made her hesitate.
"I want to talk to Zhou Chuan about this matter and try to resolve it."
This is what Gu Shen said.
Xia Anyan didn't know what Gu Shen was thinking; he was just an insignificant person.
He chased after her simply because he felt she had slipped out of his control.
Why don't they just send the person away? Why do they need to talk?
She actually disliked Zhou Chuan very much, and naturally didn't want to see him.
Even just mentioning it is not allowed.
A storm brewed in Gu Shen's eyes: "Zhou Chuan is not someone to be trifled with."
"Wife, I'll go see him. You stay home and keep Grandpa company."
"Didn't you say you were going to get medicine for Grandpa? You just need to take good care of him."
Xia Anyan pursed her lips, thought for a long time, and then nodded.
She believed that Gu Shen could handle things well.
"By the way, my comrades in the army know about my marriage application. They happen to be here on a mission and said they want to come and congratulate us today. I'll go to the county town this afternoon to bring them over, and we can have dinner together tonight, is that alright?"
That's certainly not a problem. Even if we don't see each other now, we'll definitely see each other in the future. Since that's the case, why not make a good impression now?
Xia Anyan was quite open-minded. She immediately nodded and said, "Okay, after I finish cleaning up, I'll tell the captain to come over and have dinner with us tonight."
"By the way, we've run out of food at home. Remember to buy some when you come back. They're your comrades, not strangers, so buy some extra meat."
"Didn't they say they were on missions all the time? They probably didn't eat well. This time, let them eat to their hearts' content."
Hearing Xia Anyan say this, Gu Shen was both happy and somewhat unhappy. He was happy that his wife cared about his comrade-in-arms, and he was very pleased.
The reason he was unhappy was because of this; she was clearly his wife, yet he paid so much attention to those other people.
Xia Anyan noticed his strange expression and raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong? Is there a problem with my arrangements?"
"This is my first time arranging things this way. If anything is wrong, you can tell me."
Gu Shen was amused by his own pettiness.
He smiled and shook his head, glanced around, and seeing that no one was looking in their direction, boldly stepped forward and pulled the person into his arms.
Xia Anyan was also surprised that he was so bold.
But considering that they were now husband and wife, there was no need to worry about so much, so Xia Anyan reached out and hugged him back.
"Wife, thank you." Gu Shen's voice was a little deep. "Thank you for being willing to think of me. I believe my brothers will like you very much too."
But Xia Anyan didn't care.
She shook her head: "Because I'm married to you, I have to consider your feelings. To put it bluntly, my relationship with them is just a normal one."
"Because I'm your wife, that's why I want to be good to them. I don't need them to like me. If they don't like me, will you leave me?"
Gu Shen was a little anxious and quickly shook his head: "No, I won't let go, my wife. Now that you've married me, we're bound together for life. Don't even think about leaving."
She was just joking, and never expected Gu Shen to react so strongly.
Xia Anyan pulled away from his embrace and stared straight at Gu Shen, then noticed that his eyes were a little moist.
A man doesn't easily shed tears, unless he's truly heartbroken.
Could it be... that he was hurt?
Xia Anyan sighed: "I was just joking with you, why are you reacting so strongly?"
Gu Shen pursed his lips, remaining silent, and simply stared at her with a pitiful expression.
Actually, to be honest, he wasn't a person who cried easily.
But when it came to Xia Anyan's matter, he couldn't control himself, especially after hearing what she had just said, he felt even more flustered.
Gu Shen never denied that he was inferior to Xia Anyan.
Yan Yan is a rich girl, and it's his good fortune that she's willing to marry him.
He must treat Yan Yan well.
The two chatted for a while before Xia Anyan finally managed to calm him down.
After exchanging pleasantries with the people outside, he finally saw them off.
Knowing that there would be guests coming that evening, the captain, whose face was already flushed from drinking, still swallowed it down in one gulp.
"My dear niece and nephew-in-law, don't worry. Leave the guests to me, and I will take good care of them."
The captain patted his chest, making a loud thud.
He was so unsteady on his feet that he could barely stand. After patting him twice more, he fell flat on his backside.
If Gu Shen hadn't reacted quickly and pulled him back, he probably would have really embarrassed himself.
"Captain, you're drunk. You should go back and rest for a while. I'll come and call you when the others arrive tonight."
Xia Anyan didn't want to see him put on such a show in front of her, so she wanted to get him back first, at least to let him sober up.
Unexpectedly, the brigade leader was a difficult person, and he was unhappy when he heard that he was to be sent back.
"My dear niece, this isn't right of you. I've already promised... hiccup~ that I'd be entertaining your guests tonight, how... how can you let me leave?"
