Gu Huanian; "......."
He really wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he have to speak so quickly? Now look what happened! His wife completely dislikes him.
"Ah Li, I didn't mean what I said yesterday."
Looking at his emotionless eyes, Su Li felt much better today after venting her frustrations on Xie Feng yesterday. "I know what you said yesterday was what you truly felt. That's just how I am—I hold grudges and dwell on small things. That's just who I am. You were right about something yesterday: if things continue like this, we're finished. And I'm telling you now, we're already finished."
Gu Huanian walked up to Su Li and forcefully pulled Su Li and the child into his arms.
"Ah Li, please don't say things like that all the time. It really hurts me to hear you say that. Let's stop arguing. From now on, I'll listen to you in everything except matters concerning the country."
"Think about how lovely our son is now, and how many happy days we'll have in the future. Why can't we just let that incident go? I truly love you, and I don't want anyone but you."
"Let go, you're crushing the child."
"Ah ah"
The child also cried out, and Gu Huanian finally let go of her. His gaze remained fixed on Su Li, not missing a single expression on her face.
Holding the child, Su Li couldn't bring herself to slap him, so she kicked Gu Huanian in the groin instead.
"hiss....."
"You murdered your husband!"
"I've already told you we have nothing to do with each other, so don't you dare lay a hand on me."
As soon as Su Li finished speaking, Gu Huanian's eyes instantly reddened. It was rare for her to see Gu Huanian crying.
"No, it can't be that serious!"
She just gave him a light kick; it was his fault for always touching her inappropriately.
"Ah Li, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man's tears flowed even more fiercely.
Su Li looked at his heartbroken appearance, not at all like his former aloof and domineering self.
Suddenly, a phrase flashed through her mind: "A man's tears are a woman's stimulant."
She really felt that if Gu Huanian kept crying, she wouldn't be able to hold back.
Su Li didn't look at Gu Huanian again, but turned around and carried the child back to her room.
She couldn't get over that mental hurdle.
Gu Huanian watched the door close, just like the door to her heart.
He sighed helplessly and walked out of the courtyard.
As soon as Gu Huanian stepped out of Su Li's house, he saw a jeep parked outside. Before Gu Huanian could leave, a young military officer got out and walked directly to Gu Huanian.
"Battalion Commander Gu, our chief of staff invites you in."
Gu Huanian followed the young officer into the jeep.
The jeep sped to the military base, and the young officer took Gu Huanian directly to the chief of staff's office.
"Go in by yourself! The chief of staff is waiting for you."
When Gu Huanian went in, there were not only the chief of staff, but also the national leader and several other high-ranking officials.
Upon seeing this, Gu Huanian's heart skipped a beat.
When Chief of Staff Zhen saw Gu Huanian, he stood up first and walked up to him, saying, "Commander Gu has arrived."
Gu Huanian performed well in the last mission, and the higher-ups were planning to promote him to regimental commander. He had guessed that, but the appointment letter had not yet been issued.
Gu Huanian quickly smiled and said, "Chief of Staff, please don't joke with me. May I ask what brings you and the other leaders to see me?"
In his heart, he knew that it was probably Su Li's doing.
Chief of Staff Zhen gestured for Gu Huanian to sit down, and Gu Huanian walked over and sat down.
The high-ranking leader spoke up: "Gu Huanian, is that right? He really is a handsome and talented man."
Gu Huanian quickly stood up and said, "I dare not accept such praise, I dare not accept such praise."
"Sit down quickly. I called you here today because I have a small question for you."
Gu Huanian sat down again nervously, "Please feel free to ask."
Seeing Gu Huanian sit down, Chief of Staff Zhen continued, "I heard that a supermarket recently opened in Beijing. The fruits and grains in the supermarket are amazing. Many people with poor health have had their health improved after eating them. I suppose you know more about this than I do, Commander Gu!"
Gu Huanian noticed that everyone at the head of the table was staring at him, waiting for his answer. A fine layer of cold sweat beaded on his forehead. "Chief of Staff Zhen, you're joking. There's no such thing as a free lunch. If there were, wouldn't everyone keep it hidden away? Why would anyone be foolish enough to sell it?"
The senior leader chuckled and said, "You're right, that's why I said that Boss Su is very righteous. She didn't keep such good things to herself, but shared them with the people. To be honest, if I wasn't worried about causing her trouble, I would definitely award her a banner."
Gu Huanian quickly explained, "Boss, to be honest, those are just rumors spread by others. Those fruits and grains don't have those effects at all. They just taste a little better and have a slightly better texture. They probably had just recovered from their illnesses at the hospital when they ate them, which is why they had that misconception."
The high-ranking leader stood up, walked to Gu Huanian's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Gu Huanian, I know your feelings for Comrade Su are special. Don't worry, I didn't call you here today with any intentions that could harm her. I just want to know if her fruits and grains can be sold directly to our troops. We'll buy them at market price. Regardless of whether it's a misconception or not, our troops have sacrificed so much for the safety of the country; they deserve to eat well."
Gu Huanian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what his leader said.
But to be honest, he felt that Su Li's things were indeed not simple, and he had done so to protect Su Li some time ago.
They investigated the origin of those goods, but found no trace of them, which was very strange.
"Boss, I can't make this decision. Besides, she already said it was out of stock."
Chief of Staff Zhen smiled and said, "Now is the peak season for fruit, so I think she should have some. We just wanted to let you know in advance. If it's inconvenient for you to tell her, we can also ask Comrade Su to come over."
Gu Huanian had originally intended for Su Li to say that the supplier was contacted by him, but now it seems that they had already found out that Su Li was the one in charge of this matter.
The reason she's saying this to herself now is simply to persuade her through him to provide the grain and fruit to the country.
“I can talk to her, but I hope that whatever decision she makes, you will not pressure her.”
When the leaders heard Gu Huanian's words, they just smiled and did not respond.
He understood the situation instantly; Su Li had to hand over the item.
Seeing that Gu Huanian's expression wasn't very good, the high-ranking leader comforted her, saying, "I assure you, I have no ill intentions towards her. As long as she's willing to provide us with [something], our country is willing to compensate her with some things."
Gu Huanian knew he had no other choice now; "I will try to communicate with her."
Several leaders nodded. After the matter was explained, the senior leader dismissed the others and then looked at Gu Huanian, saying, "I know what you're worried about. I assure you, no matter what, I will protect Comrade Su and ensure she is not harmed."
