Chapter 97 I'm Much Older Than You

He paused as he pulled open the car door: "We met too late. If we had known each other a few years earlier, I would have joined your department and we could have been teammates, working together in both public and private matters. How great would that be?"

The trip to Panzhou confirmed to him that Teacher Xiao Ye worked in the intelligence department and was not just an ordinary employee. It was no wonder that the old man said he was not qualified to know that he had achieved so much at such a young age.

"If we had known each other for a few years earlier, not only would you have nothing to do with it, but if you really had any thoughts about it, you would be a complete pervert."

Gu Huaizhi then thought of her age.

He said bitterly: "I am much older than you."

"I don't think you're old, so you don't have to think you're old either. What do you think?"

"I think so~~" The soft and gentle tone of Jing'er made Ye Qinglan's heart tremble: "I think you are very pleasing to my heart, Teacher Xiao Ye. See you tomorrow."

After saying that, he got in the car and drove away at a speed of light.

Ye Qinglan looked at the exhaust of the car, the smile in her eyes was unusually gentle, with a warmth that she herself had not discovered.

Just as she was about to turn back, she noticed that the car that had left had come back.

The car stopped, Gu Huaizhi opened the door, took a small bag from the passenger seat and handed it to her: "I forgot to give it to you."

"What?" Ye Qinglan opened it and took a look: "Cosmetics?"

"Yes, I think you can definitely use this."

If you usually dress up, you must put on makeup.

Ye Qinglan: "You really mean it to me. Thank you."

"Why are you being so polite to me? Close the door for me. This is a real goodbye."

Ye Qinglan closed the car door and waved to him.

When she returned home with the small bag, Ye Jiao rushed over to her in a hurry:

"Sister, sister, is that Comrade Gu my future brother-in-law? Oh, he's so handsome, even better looking than those actors. If I wasn't a person who doesn't look at faces, I would have screamed a few times when I first saw him. His eyelashes look longer than mine, too much. He's also tall, why do I feel like he's 1.9 meters tall?"

You know, her eyelashes are as long as one centimeter.

"No, he's only about 1.85 meters tall. Maybe because he's skinny and has long legs, he looks taller." Ye Qinglan said as he opened the door of his room and put the cosmetics in.

Her mother was quite interesting. She even left the master bedroom for her.

When she put the things in and out, Yang Wenying said, "Huaizhi has a good personality. It's just that their family is a little too high. The threshold is too high. We are just an ordinary family. Mom is just worried that you will be bullied in their family."

She felt her heart pounding whenever she mentioned this. That was the Commander's family, a family she didn't usually see.

Ye Jiao asked in surprise: "Mom, where on earth did my sister give you the illusion that she would be angry?"

"What do you know, kid? Marriage is not just about two people being attracted to each other. It's best if the gap between the two parties is not too big, otherwise one will always feel inferior to the other, and over time, a rift will form."

Ye Qinglan was reassured by what he said: "Don't worry, his father has met me and is very satisfied with me. To be precise, whether we can get married depends on my decision, not his."

Ye Jiao burst into laughter when she heard this, this was exactly how her sister did things.

"Really?" Yang Wenying said again: "If you say so, then I feel relieved."

"Of course it's true. He didn't want to go on a blind date at first, but his father asked the guards to bring him here."

Ye Jiao smiled and continued, "I understand, I understand. He was reluctant at first, but when he saw you, he was struck by your beauty. From then on, he decided to marry you at first sight, right?"

Ye Qinglan patted her head and said, "Where did you learn these words from?"

"Hahaha... Don't underestimate us elementary school students. We know a lot. Even the fifth graders have someone in a relationship."

Yang Wenying was shocked. Children nowadays are really dangerous.

Ye Qinglan glanced at the gift box on the side, but before opening it, he reached out and took it: "Why don't you take a look? What did you buy?"

After opening it, she said, "Wow, Gu Huaizhi is really thoughtful. Mom, this skin care product is for you."

Yang Wenying took it over: "It's still a set. I heard that this pearl cream is very useful. There is also eye cream... Huaizhi understands us female comrades very well."

She was somewhat satisfied with Gu Huaizhi in her heart. Then she looked at the bottle, which was developed by the Military Medical University. She wondered if it could remove the wrinkles around her eyes.

Ye Qinglan opened another box, which contained cakes and tea.

He continued to open it, and as he looked at it he said: “Hahahaha… Jiaojiao, this is yours.”

Ye Jiao inexplicably had a bad feeling.

"What do you mean by smiling like that? Could it be that Comrade Gu gave me something weird?" She walked closer and took a look, then immediately wailed.

This gift is too weird. You said you could give me a pen and a book, but why did you give me a few exercise books!!!

What does that mean? Do you think she has too little homework during the summer vacation?

Ye Jiao asked bitterly, "Sister, can I refuse this gift? I think it's not easy for Comrade Gu to earn some money. The pen is so expensive, so you don't have to spend money on me. Really! I'm a generous person and never care about these things."

"No! You have to finish all these for me. Don't you want to join the army? You can apply for military school in the future."

Ye Jiao wiped the sweat off her forehead and said, "You can become the president even without taking the exam, right?"

"Do you want to be the president for three years or thirty years?" Ye Qinglan asked, and then said, "If you want to be the president for three years, you can choose not to take the exam. If you want to be the president for thirty years, then just go and take the exam. When you grow up, things will be different from now."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I will definitely study hard and never embarrass you."

Ye Jiao obediently took the exercise books.

Yang Wenying was very satisfied with her obedience.

Then he asked about Ye Qinglan's situation in the past few months and why they moved.

When Ye Jiao went to find Yang Wenying, she did not tell her these things. The little girl was really smart. She thought that her sister had offended someone outside, so nothing about their family should be told outside.

Ye Qinglan briefly spoke to her and gave her some instructions: "Don't leave the military area on weekdays. If someone gives you anything, don't accept it. If your former neighbors find you and say they need you to go over for something urgent, or ask you to do something, don't agree and don't go with them."

Ye Jiao nodded repeatedly. She understood that her sister was afraid that bad people would bribe the neighbors.

She had seen several movies in which the plot was played out in the same way: the bad guy bribed the neighbors to trick the protagonist's family out, and then kidnapped and threatened the protagonist.

You must not accept gifts as they might contain poison. Oh, or it might even be a bribe or a frame-up.

Well, she suddenly felt that watching movies was useful.

Ye Jiao patted her chest and assured: "Don't worry, sister, we will definitely not hold you back. I will look after our mother."

Yang Wenying???

He reached out and slapped Ye Jiao on the back.

"You still look down on your mother!" Then he turned to Ye Qinglan and said, "We don't usually need to go out for anything. I haven't even finished walking around the entire compound. We usually go to work, get off work, and go home. The key is the house of our textile factory. We moved suddenly and the house has not been dealt with. I was thinking about renting it out?"

Ye Qinglan thought about it and said, "Anyway, I can live in this house forever. The army assigned it to me. I can sell the one over there and buy a better one with more money later. If I rent it, you still have to go there to collect rent and check on the house occasionally. It's troublesome."

"Sell it? I'm a little reluctant to do so."

After all, this was the house they had lived in for many years.

Ye Jiao said: "Just listen to my sister and do whatever I tell you to do."

Yang Wenying: "..." You really are! Think about it and say: "Then sell it."

Ye Qinglan: "Give me the property certificate and I'll take care of it later."

Yang Wenying nodded.

After the mother and daughter finished talking, it was time to get off work.

Ye Qinglan saw that all the neighbors had returned. The neighbor on the left was the secretary of Lao Yun, the leader of the intelligence department, and the neighbor on the right was still unoccupied.

This is a newly built house.

In fact, there are still many secluded single-family courtyards, but they were divided up a few years ago.

Ye Qinglan went out to say hello to the other party. She was usually not at home. A neighbor is worse than a distant relative. If something happened to her mother and Jiaojiao and she didn't have time to look for anyone, she would have to trouble the neighbors.

The other party actually didn't know where she came from, but having seen her in the intelligence department's office building, they knew that she was also from the intelligence department.

There are many mysterious people in their department, and many groups exist only in his ears. People in this line of work know very well what they can find out and what they cannot.

The other party did not ask about Ye Qinglan's basic situation, but just stood at the door and spoke a few words to her.

Yang Wenying cooked dinner. She said she had just learned how to make cold noodles and wanted to make them for them to try.

Ye Jiao is a bit clingy. Even though she has her own room, she still insists on sleeping in the same bed with Ye Qinglan at night.

It was such a hot summer day, and Ye Qinglan didn't want to sleep with her, but then he remembered that Xiaoqi had slept in the same bed with her before, so there was no reason why her biological sister couldn't do that. Well, he had to bear with it.

This little girl is talkative. She said, "Sister, I have missed you so much these past few months."

Then she asked again, "Sister, why didn't that damn girl Lin Fei send us any letters? What if she was delayed by something and wrote to us when she was free, wouldn't she be able to find us?"

"Sister, it's really strange. Sister Lin Fei and I have spent more time together, but I still like you more."

“…”

Nagging.

Ye Qinglan could no longer bear it: "If you don't sleep, I'll kick you down!"

Only then did Ye Jiao shut up.

~~

The next day, Ye Qinglan went to Commander Xie first.

Commander Xie clapped his hands when he saw her. "You came at the right time. I was just about to tell you about Lao Ming. He received a secret letter from your department and saw the aircraft carrier blueprints. Guess what he did excitedly? He called me at twelve o'clock in the evening to complain about this. I almost made him have a heart attack."
