"I didn't come here to see you. I came with Su Miaoyan. Humph, if it weren't for her, do you think I would care to see you?"
Lu Ting glanced at her indifferently, said nothing, and simply sat down silently to Su Miaoyan's right.
Gu Shanqing sat to Su Miaoyan's left.
Su Miaoyan was sandwiched between the two, and sighed helplessly.
Lu Ting said softly, "Wife, shall we eat here?"
Just as Su Miaoyan was about to answer, Gu Shanqing, who was next to her, suddenly coughed violently.
"Cough cough cough..."
Su Miaoyan quickly patted her back with concern and whispered, "What's wrong, Gu Shanqing?"
She hadn't eaten, so how did she choke?
Gu Shanqing regained her senses and waved to Su Miaoyan, "Su, Su Miaoyan, I, I'm fine."
She was startled by Lu Ting's gentle and tender address of his wife.
Oh my god...
Is this really Lu Ting?
She wasn't hallucinating, was she?
But then Gu Shanqing felt there was nothing wrong with it.
Sure enough, even a man like Lu Ting couldn't resist Su Miaoyan.
A sense of pride inexplicably rose within her.
Seeing her expression change repeatedly, Su Miaoyan was also confused about what she was thinking.
He gave a dry "oh" in response to Lu Ting's question.
"Since you've already packed everything up, let's go back and eat. I just wanted to tell you something."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ting stood up from his seat and gave a soft "hmm".
Su Miaoyan's gaze darted back and forth between Lu Ting and Gu Shanqing. She hesitated, looking at Gu Shanqing, "Shanqing, do you want to come with us?"
Gu Shanqing didn't even glance at Lu Ting, and said with a smile, "Okay."
Noticing Lu Ting's gaze on her, Gu Shanqing pretended not to know anything and smiled as she took Su Miaoyan's arm.
Regardless, she was determined to be with Su Miaoyan.
Lu Ting calmly withdrew his gaze and walked silently to Su Miaoyan's other side. The three of them walked towards the door together.
Su Miaoyan had a strange feeling, but thankfully, the three of them soon arrived at the entrance of the family compound.
Gu Shanqing let go of her hand, picking up the lunchbox. "Su Miaoyan, I'm leaving. Don't forget what you promised me. If it were me, I... I'd..."
Su Miaoyan asked curiously, "What?"
Gu Shanqing thought for a few seconds, then raised her head haughtily, "I've come to find you."
Su Miaoyan was amused by her, but she didn't laugh out loud. She nodded gently, "Okay, don't worry, I'll come find you."
“Okay!” Gu Shanqing continued, “Then I’ll be going.”
At the same time, she glared fiercely at Lu Ting.
Seeing how softly and caringly he spoke to Su Miaoyan, she didn't say much today.
Su Miaoyan found Gu Shanqing, this young lady, quite interesting. Watching her retreating figure, and seeing no one around, she tugged at the sleeve of the person next to her.
"Lu Ting, Gu Shanqing was talking to you just now, why didn't you answer?"
Lu Ting looked down at her and said calmly, "I was afraid you would misunderstand."
Although he had no relationship with Gu Shanqing, he still didn't want her to worry because of what he said that night.
Su Miaoyan has a clear sense of likes and dislikes. At first, she did not have a good impression of Gu Shanqing, but after getting to know her, she found that the other party was actually quite simple-minded, just a little competitive.
But who doesn't have a competitive spirit?
Moreover, she was a pampered young lady who always wanted to be the best.
Once outside the cafeteria, I no longer needed to lower my voice as much.
Su Miaoyan said, "I won't misunderstand, don't worry."
Lu Ting frowned. "While I was away, she came to see you every day?"
Su Miaoyan sensed his worry and explained, "She didn't come to cause me any trouble. We're... friends now."
friend?
Lu Ting, recalling how Gu Shanqing had relentlessly pursued him earlier, said:
"Wife, it's better to have less contact with her."
Su Miaoyan asked in surprise, "Why?"
Lu Ting recounted the entire incident, and Su Miaoyan remained silent for a few seconds after listening.
this……
It does seem like something Gu Shanqing could do.
She agreed as she walked towards the courtyard, "Alright, alright, I understand. I know what I'm doing, Lu Ting, don't worry."
Lu Ting frowned and tugged at her sleeve, but ultimately didn't say anything harsh. "Okay, then be careful. If she bullies you, you can come to me anytime."
Su Miaoyan gave a soft "hmm," not wanting to continue the topic. "Lu Ting, tomorrow afternoon, you and I will go to the research institute."
Lu Ting pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in. "Is it about those two metals?"
"Yes. This morning, Commander He told me that the research institute's approval has been granted."
Lu Ting nodded slightly, and closed the courtyard gate after she came in. "Okay, then I'll go another day."
The approval process was quite fast.
He was puzzled for a moment.
I had no idea it was so fast; it was related to his mission this time.
Su Miaoyan thought to herself that the matter was settled, and the two walked side by side to the table, sat down, and opened their lunchboxes.
Su Miaoyan's eyes lit up: one meat dish, two vegetable dishes, a soup, and a plate of white rice.
Lu Ting's ears turned slightly red as he thought about what happened last night. He took out a cloth bag from his chest and handed it over.
"Wife, you keep it."
Su Miaoyan asked in bewilderment, "This is..."
Lu Ting explained, "This is the subsidy issued by the superiors for this mission."
Su Miaoyan then remembered the items in the yard. "Lu Ting, did you buy all those things in the yard on your way back?"
Lu Ting gave a low "hmm," and said, "Back then, we just hastily registered our marriage. I was living in the military and rarely went back to my hometown. I didn't know that women needed so many things for marriage. I'm sorry."
Su Miaoyan was slightly stunned, and a long-buried memory deep in her mind was gradually awakened...
In her previous life, she spent seven years in the countryside and accidentally saw the dowry given to the bride's husband when the village chief's son got married. It seemed to consist of these four items.
Later, when I went down to the ground, I learned that this thing was called "three turns and one sound".
It shows that you value the other person.
Su Miaoyan took a bite of food, and her eyes became a little sore.
She reassured her, "It's alright, these are just formalities. Besides, the situation was urgent at the time. If you had bought them, these things would have just become a burden."
Lu Ting returned from a mission and learned a lot of new lessons from the veterans.
He spoke very frankly, "I like you, and I want to give you the best of everything. Honey, you deserve the best."
It would be a lie for Su Miaoyan to say she wasn't moved; her wounded heart seemed to have its holes filled with tender words.
She said, "Lu Ting, I... thank you."
She felt a little guilty.
This guilt stems from a past life.
Lu Ting misunderstood her meaning, thinking she was thinking of her parents. He put his arm around her shoulder and gently placed her forehead against his shoulder.
He reassured her, "We are husband and wife, there's no need for thanks."
Su Miaoyan nodded emphatically, "Okay."
Regardless of what happened in the past, it's all just a thing of the past now.
