"You must not be careless, or you'll regret it later if something really happens!"
Jiang Jingxue knew that Yue Keqi was doing it for her own good.
She quickly replied, "I believe you! I'll cook the meal tomorrow and personally deliver it to Gu Pingwei's unit. Is that alright?"
Yue Keqi nodded: "That's more like it."
the next day.
Jiang Jingxue went to the market to buy fresh vegetables and meat, and cooked a few dishes at home.
Gu Pingwei has been quite busy with work lately.
I didn't even have time to go home for lunch.
He had just recovered, and Jiang Jingxue was worried that he would be too busy to eat properly, which would be bad for his health.
That's why I thought of cooking a few dishes and sending them over to help him recover.
Jiang Jingxue brought a lunchbox to the military base.
When the gatekeeper heard that she was Gu Pingwei's wife, he readily let her in.
Jiang Jingxue walked towards Gu Pingwei's office.
Just as she was about to knock on the door and go in, she heard a woman's voice coming from inside.
"Pingwei, I'm doing this for your own good! The higher-ups think highly of you. If you're willing to join the central government, you'll definitely be promoted to colonel within three years!"
Gu Pingwei's voice was cold and distant.
"If you came here specifically to tell me this, then you can leave. I've already made my choice very clear to my superiors, and I won't easily change my mind!"
The woman spoke with a tone of disappointment and frustration.
"Gu Pingwei, why can't you understand? You clearly have better options. Is it really worth ruining your future like this?"
"My destiny is in my own hands. I don't need you to tell me what kind of future I want!"
Gu Pingwei's tone was clearly displeased: "I have work to do. If there's nothing else, please leave!"
"Okay, I'm leaving!"
The woman finished speaking angrily and turned to leave.
Hearing footsteps, Jiang Jingxue quickly hid to the side.
A short while later, a young woman in military uniform walked out of Gu Pingwei's office and strode away with an unhappy expression.
Jiang Jingxue was still wondering to herself.
She didn't think she had ever seen this person before.
Just then.
Qin Liang brought the food he had prepared to Gu Pingwei.
He was surprised to see Jiang Jingxue.
"Madam? What are you doing here?"
Jiang Jingxue waved the lunchbox in her hand.
"Oh, he's been so busy these past few days. I was worried he wasn't eating well, so I came to bring him lunch."
Qin Liang gave Jiang Jingxue a thumbs up.
"Madam, you are truly virtuous."
“You’ve come at just the right time. The lieutenant colonel hasn’t had much of an appetite these past few days. Whatever we send him in, he comes out the same. He eats very little.”
"Then don't go in later. You can eat the food you got yourself... By the way, Qin Liang, a woman came out of Gu Pingwei's office just now. Who is she? I've never seen her before?"
"The woman you're talking about is Jia Yunyun. She's the only female officer here, and her rank is lieutenant."
"A female military officer? What's her relationship with Gu Pingwei like?"
"Years ago, the old man of the Gu family and her old man served in the same military region. The lieutenant colonel and she were old acquaintances. Later, they were no longer in the same military region, and they hadn't seen each other for many years. Jia Yunyun was only transferred here not long ago."
Perhaps they were afraid that Jiang Jingxue would overthink it.
Qin Liang quickly added another sentence.
"The lieutenant colonel and she had a casual relationship; they only interacted at work."
"Alright, I understand. Qin Liang, you can go ahead and get back to work."
After seeing Qin Liang off, Jiang Jingxue knocked on the door and entered Gu Pingwei's office.
A woman's intuition told her that the female officer named Jia Yunyun's feelings for Gu Pingwei were definitely more than just camaraderie.
Gu Pingwei thought the person who came in was Qin Liang.
He looked at the documents in his hand without even looking up.
"Put down the food, you can leave now!"
It's clear he's not in a good mood right now.
It might be because of Jia Yunyun's influence.
"oh."
Jiang Jingxue obediently responded.
He placed the lunchbox on the table and turned to leave.
Gu Pingwei sensed something was wrong with the voice and quickly looked up, where he saw Jiang Jingxue.
"Jingxue?"
His face was full of surprise.
Immediately afterwards, he put down the documents in his hand and pulled Jiang Jingxue aside: "Why are you leaving so soon after arriving?"
Jiang Jingxue gave him a feignedly resentful look: "Didn't you say you wanted me to put my things down and leave?"
"I didn't know it was you. Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Gu Pingwei quickly pulled Jiang Jingxue's hand and sat her down on the sofa, pouring her tea.
If he had known it was his wife who came in, he wouldn't have dared to say such a thing.
Jiang Jingxue's visit immediately improved Gu Pingwei's mood.
Jiang Jingxue opened the lunchbox and took out the dishes inside.
"I made your favorite food especially, so please eat more."
Gu Pingwei took the chopsticks and ate the food Jiang Jingxue brought him with gusto, feeling extremely satisfied.
Who exactly said he had a poor appetite these past two days?
After lunch, Gu Pingwei pulled Jiang Jingxue aside and asked her to keep him company in his office.
His wife rarely comes to visit, and he couldn't bear to let her go so easily.
Recalling the conversation we just had.
Jiang Jingxue asked indirectly.
"Gu Pingwei, have you been in a bad mood these past few days?"
"No."
Gu Pingwei denied it without hesitation: "I'm especially happy when I see you!"
"So, have you encountered any problems at work?"
Jiang Jingxue continued to ask.
She wanted to know what had happened.
