Lu Ze's face darkened immediately upon hearing this.
"Yu Yao, don't listen to his nonsense. Dr. Mo and I are just ordinary friends. Qi Feng, if you don't correct your habit of speaking without thinking, you'll suffer sooner or later."
Yu Yao could tell that the two had a good relationship; Lu Ze was even talking more.
However, we should ask Lu Ze about Dr. Mo's condition when we have time.
Although she and Lu Ze were just living together, there were some things that needed to be made clear beforehand, and she would never compromise on her bottom line.
If we can't reach an agreement, it's best to part ways amicably.
Anyway, the two only held a wedding banquet and haven't gotten their marriage certificate yet, so they can break up at any time, and it won't affect his future.
The soldiers on the ship and those carrying things around greeted Commander Lu with smiles, then continued with their work, but their ears were never idle.
Everyone pricked up their ears to eavesdrop, as opportunities to hear Commander Lu gossip were rare.
Commander Lu is a prominent figure on their island; he is their role model in both strategy and skill.
The soldiers both respected and feared Lu Ze. In private, they called him the Iron-Blooded King of Hell because he always had a cold face and was known throughout the entire island garrison for his strictness in training soldiers. There were even new recruits who were made to cry by his strictness.
This was the first time they had ever seen a female comrade so close to Commander Lu; even Dr. Mo didn't receive such treatment.
Therefore, he secretly observed Yu Yao with curious eyes.
However, this woman was fully armed, and apart from her very beautiful eyes, she couldn't see anything.
Qi Feng didn't believe Lu Ze's answer, thinking to himself, "Keep pretending. You'll be crying when Dr. Mo gets chased away."
Everyone in the military compound knew that Lu Ze and Dr. Mo had an extraordinary private relationship; Lu Ze not only taught Dr. Mo how to swim but also gave him gifts.
However, since there were other people present, he couldn't say much more and left it at that.
Lu Ze first introduced Uncle Yue and Aunt Ge to Qi Feng.
When introducing Uncle Yue, Lu Ze only mentioned that he was an elder in the family. Apart from his teachers, no one else knew about his family background, and Lu Ze did not intend to say more.
Aunt Ge said frankly that they all had a very good relationship with Qin Ye.
After introducing the two, Lu Ze looked down at Yu Yao, a gentle expression appearing on his usually cold face, and said, "Yu Yao, this is Qi Feng, the regimental commander of the First Regiment. He and I both came from the Qing Province Naval Academy, and he is a few years older than me."
It was impolite to carry things, so Yu Yao tried to remove the covering from her face, but Lu Ze stopped her.
He explained to Commander Qi, "The sun is strong here, and she will get sunburned, so we won't take it off."
Qi Feng waved his hand dismissively, "We're all friends, no need to stand on ceremony."
This was the first time he had ever seen Lu Ze take such good care of a female comrade, and he was both surprised and curious.
This woman looks petite and delicate. Could she be one of Lu Ze's cousins?
Then Lu Ze introduced, "Qi Feng, this is my wife, Yu Yao."
Yu Yao greeted Qi Feng with a smile: "Hello, Commander Qi, I am Yu Yao."
"Hello, Comrade Yu Yao. Since you're Lu Ze's sister..." Qi Feng's voice trailed off, his eyes widening in disbelief as he looked at Yu Yao, then at Lu Ze, "What did you just say Comrade Yu was to you?!"
Was he hallucinating because of the heat? He actually heard the word "wife" coming out of Lu Ze's mouth.
It seems he has a pretty bad case of heatstroke. He'll need to rest properly once he gets on the boat.
I almost made a fool of myself.
Qi Feng let out a breath and patted his head with his large palm-leaf fan. "Look at me, I actually misheard it as 'wife,' hahahahaha."
Lu Ze's lips curled up slightly, "You heard me right, I did say my wife just now."
"No, is Comrade Yu Yao really your wife? I haven't heard anything about you submitting a marriage application."
Qi Feng was completely stunned.
The soldiers who had been eavesdropping nearby were also dumbfounded.
Don't the aunties in the military compound all say that Dr. Mo and Regiment Commander Lu are a couple?
It turns out this was all a misunderstanding.
They said that given Lu Tuan's attitude of wanting to stay as far away from female comrades as possible, if he really liked Dr. Mo, he wouldn't keep it a secret in private.
But Lu Tuan actually got married?
When this news gets out, the aunties and girls on the island will be heartbroken.
I just don't know what kind of girl could possibly win over Lu Tuan, this eternally cold and aloof man.
Qi Feng hesitated, wanting to ask what had happened, but then he remembered that the man's new wife was still there, and it would be inappropriate to ask such a question, so he held back.
Thinking of what he had said when they first met, Qi Feng's dark face showed embarrassment. "So it's your sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have said those things earlier. I should have done the splits. I apologize to you."
As he spoke, Qi Feng cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Yu Yao.
Yu Yao reached out to stop Qi Feng from bowing. "Commander Qi, I accept your apology. I believe you didn't mean it. We're all friends, so let's let this matter rest and not mention it again."
"Alright, alright, since you've said so, I won't bring it up again." Qi Feng wasn't one to mince words. Hearing Yu Yao say that, he felt less embarrassed and genuinely admired her.
No wonder she's the woman who managed to win over Lu Ze; she's so generous and open-minded. If it were someone more petty, they wouldn't have let him off so easily.
Lu Ze is right, he really needs to get his mouth sorted out, otherwise he'll get into trouble sooner or later.
Yue Shan watched Yu Yao's actions from behind, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
He is neither arrogant nor humble, knows how to conduct himself appropriately, has principles, and is broad-minded. Excellent, truly excellent!
Lu Ze is lucky to have married such a wife.
Lu Ze glanced at the sun, worried that Yu Yao would get sunburned, so he stood to her side to shield her from the sun. "The sun is too strong. Let's get on the boat first, and we can talk about it on the boat."
"When have you ever cared about the sun?" Qi Feng glanced at him in surprise, then realized what he meant and teased, "Hey! So you're just worried about your sister-in-law getting sunburned."
"Sister-in-law, to be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen Lao Lu so nervous about a woman. We all thought Lu Ze was just not cut out for dating, and we were afraid he'd be a bachelor for life."
Lu Ze nudged Qi Feng and said bluntly, "You talk too much. Go and move your luggage."
Qi Feng didn't mind Lu Ze's attitude at all. On the contrary, seeing that he was embarrassed, he kept chuckling, "Move, move it now, move it right away."
After saying that, Qi Feng picked up a large box in each of his strong arms. Seeing that Lu Ze wasn't paying attention, he quickly winked at Yu Yao:
“I wasn’t just making things up; even the teachers have confirmed it. Now it seems, it’s not that I don’t know how to date; it’s that I haven’t met you yet, sister-in-law.”
Lu Ze glared at Qi Feng and said, "Get out of here! Stop talking so much, come and practice."
"No, I don't want to get tortured. If you're itching to do it, go torture those greenhorns later, they'd love to."
Qi Feng also shouted at the ship, "Want to see Lu Tuan's skills?"
