Lu Huai'an is gone.
Su Wantang lay down on the bed and buried her face in the soft bedding.
She let out an excited groundhog squeak.
"Aaaaaaah!"
Lu Huai'an's words lingered in my ears like a demonic chant.
"Comrade Su Wantang, I am serious."
"You don't need to rush to give me an answer, nor do you need to feel embarrassed about it. I will open your heart with my actions. I have enough patience to wait for you to turn around."
"I left the apology gift at the door."
"I'm leaving."
Su Wantang muttered, "If you're going to leave, then leave. Why say it on purpose?"
"Hmph! Does she need that gift?"
While complaining, Su Wantang's eyes were fixed on the wristwatch on her wrist.
Ten minutes later.
She quietly opened the door a crack, glanced around, and seeing no one, opened it wider, picked up the thank-you gift wrapped in a box from the floor, and retreated back into the room.
In the shadows, Lu Huai'an heard the door slam shut and a slight smile played on his lips.
Upon opening the gift box, I found a white silk scarf, very similar to the one the doctor had asked for today, but this one was clearly new.
So, that silk scarf...
It was a gift for her.
The moment this thought popped into her head, Su Wantang couldn't help but smile.
She picked up the silk scarf and held it up to her neck; with a tug, a delicate hair clip fell out.
Lu Huai'an has a good eye.
The curve of her lips deepened a bit.
"How about giving him a chance to try?"
Suddenly, Su Wantang seemed to realize something, and the smile on her face vanished completely.
"Gu Nanzhi..."
Lu Huai'an couldn't forget the woman for whom he made a mistake and left the army.
The night was long, yet sleep was elusive.
The warm morning light streamed through the window, and Su Wantang raised her hand to shield her eyes from the glaring sunlight.
Suddenly, her pupils contracted sharply.
"Ah! It's seven o'clock!"
"I can't practice my boxing now, I need to wash up, eat, and go to work."
Su Wantang quickly changed her clothes. She opened the door and bumped into Lu Huai'an, who had finished his morning exercise but hadn't seen Su Wantang before knocking on the door.
Their eyes met, and Su Wantang was the first to smile and wave hello.
Good morning, Huai'an.
Lu Huai'an was taken aback for a moment: "Wan Tang, I've got the food."
"Okay, I'll be there after I've washed up."
After saying that, Su Wantang walked away from Lu Huai'an.
Su Wantang sensed the gaze following closely behind her and roughly guessed what Lu Huai'an was thinking, but she didn't intend to explain anything.
Su Wantang was smitten!
Since Lu Huai'an is also interested in her, she should accept it openly and generously.
As for Gu Nanzhi...
Su Wantang will not dwell on the past, nor will she sentence her and Lu Huai'an to death.
Didn't Lu Huai'an say he wanted to pursue her?
She'll see how he performs.
if...
If Lu Huai'an cannot satisfy her, then when the one-year agreement is up, they will go their separate ways.
She, Su Wantang, is a woman who dares to love and hate!
I can take things in stride and let them go just as well!
Now it was Lu Huai'an's turn to feel uncomfortable during the meal.
I don't know how many times I've looked at Su Wantang, openly or secretly.
Compared to last night, Su Wantang inexplicably felt a sense of exhilaration, like she had turned the tables and become the landlord.
"I'll drive you to work."
"good."
As they parted at the hospital entrance, Su Wantang suddenly leaned closer.
"Lu Huai'an, lower your head."
"Um?"
A breeze brushed by, making my ear tips tingle.
"Comrade Lu Huai'an, I think your suggestion last night was good."
Lu Huai'an's pupils contracted sharply.
"I'll see how you perform."
"Bye, I'm going to work."
Her flowing hair brushed against her face, and a cunning glint flashed in the woman's eyes, causing Lu Huai'an's heart to skip a beat.
He slightly raised his arm, which was hanging by his side, and the wind slipped through his fingers.
Su Wantang had already withdrawn, and her beautiful figure appeared in the distance.
Lu Huai'an rubbed his fingers along the seam of his trousers, as if savoring the moment.
Only after watching Su Wantang's figure enter the hospital and disappear from sight did Lu Huai'an turn and leave.
He had just turned around when Su Yue, who was working at the hospital for the first time, called him back.
"Huai'an, did you come all this way just to wait for me?"
Su Yue lowered her head shyly, raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, revealing her beautiful face.
Lu Huai'an took two steps back, creating some distance.
"I don't know you, sir."
Su Yue looked up in shock, the brilliant stars in her eyes shattering into fragments.
"Huai'an, it's me. You were injured in the Southwest Military Region, and I took care of you. Have you forgotten?"
"I don't remember."
"I am married."
"Please show some respect and address me as Comrade Lu!"
"I have other things to do."
Leaving behind these four sentences decisively, Lu Huai'an strode away.
Given Su Yue's pride, she naturally wouldn't do anything to chase after and stop Lu Huai'an, especially considering there were so many people at the hospital entrance.
She stomped her feet in anger, but could only watch helplessly as Lu Huai'an walked away.
Su Zhen's words rang in my ears at just the right moment.
"Su Yue! Is this what you told me so confidently—that Lu Huai'an is deeply in love with you?"
"Lu Huai'an has already filed his marriage application! He even jumped into the flood for that woman!"
"Dad, there must be some misunderstanding."
"I don't care about any of that, if you can't get Lu Huai'an to divorce his wife and marry you..."
Thinking of the fates of her two older sisters, Su Yue couldn't help but shudder.
No, she would never do that.
Su Yue took a liking to Lu Huai'an on his first day in the hospital. After learning that Lu Huai'an had a high-ranking official as his grandfather, she became even more determined to marry him.
Su Zhen was very supportive and even gave her a lot of money to dress up.
However, before she could make a move, Lu Huai'an returned to his unit here.
