When Tan Peishi came out of the room yawning, she saw Colonel Huo and jumped back like a rabbit in fright. "Captain?"
When did the captain return so quietly? How come she didn't know at all?
"Coming to our house for a free meal? Didn't Fu Peigang give you living expenses?" Colonel Huo leaned against the kitchen doorway watching his wife make breakfast, then turned around and said casually.
Tan Peishi clutched her chest, feeling caught off guard. "Captain, why are you launching this sarcastic attack so early in the morning? I didn't say a word when you and Ruoke were eating at my house!"
Then she shouted at the people busy in the kitchen, "Ruo Ke, don't you control your man? He's just randomly attacking people. It's inhumane!"
The morning was already awkward enough, but Tan Peishi's words made Ruoke blush even more. She pursed her lips, determined to remain completely silent no matter what.
No response! Tan Peishi approached the kitchen door, full of doubt.
"The door is over there, I won't see you off any further!" Colonel Huo pointed out a way out for her.
Tan Peishi glanced at Colonel Huo again, her face extremely grim. "Captain, are you sexually frustrated? If so, why don't you satisfy him before letting him out? He's going to bite!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ruoke blushed furiously, and the shovel clattered to the ground.
Huo Qingfeng kicked out. "You little brat, I'll teach you to talk nonsense!"
Tan Peishi screamed and ran into the washroom, clutching her head. Although she was almost silenced, it confirmed one fact: the captain was sexually frustrated!
Ah, no wonder Fu Peigang said the captain had been really tough on them these past few days; so that's why. No, I have to have a serious talk with Ruoke. If the captain's lust isn't quelled, someone's going to die!
Colonel Huo was in a hurry, so after his wife prepared breakfast, he quickly finished his portion, gave her a kiss, and rushed back to his unit.
Ling Ruoke finally managed to wake the little guy up and help him brush his teeth, wash his face, and get dressed.
"Alright, eat your breakfast obediently. After you finish, it's time to go to kindergarten." He gave his chubby bottom a slap and put him in the chair.
Tan Peishi had something on her mind, and now that the captain had left, she had the perfect opportunity to ask. "Ruo Ke, you and the captain... haven't done 'that' yet?"
Ling Ruoke blushed again and put a piece of food into her bowl. "Eat your breakfast quickly, stop talking nonsense."
Tan Peishi became even more serious. "Ruoke, I'm serious, don't always think I'm joking. Although I don't approve of sleeping with someone before buying a ticket, the captain is absolutely reliable. Such a reliable man isn't someone you're the only one interested in. Besides the Gu sisters, who knows how many other women are eyeing him. Now that you're together, you should hurry up and win him over to avoid any complications."
Seeing that she was serious, Ling Ruoke could no longer treat it as a joke. "Does having that kind of relationship guarantee a long-term commitment? Besides, if he chooses someone else because of this, then I don't want to marry someone like that."
"Oh dear, what were you thinking?" Tan Peishi was also anxious, worried that things might backfire.
"The captain isn't that kind of person, of course. I'm not saying this to you... Let me put it this way, Ruoke, I only found out after I married Fu Peigang. When we were seventeen or eighteen, we always thought that someone's love for me had nothing to do with sex. But slowly you'll understand that sex is a very important part of married life. If your sex life isn't harmonious, your marriage won't last long or be happy. Of course, I'm not encouraging you to immediately give yourself to the captain. I just... oh dear, I just want you and the captain to become a couple as soon as possible, to avoid any unforeseen complications!"
Ling Ruoke was initially embarrassed, but as Peishi grew increasingly anxious, she stopped feeling awkward. She knew Peishi genuinely cared for her. Holding her friend's hand, she smiled and said, "Peishi, I understand!"
"Good. In short, quickly capture the captain and keep him under control, so that no other vixen can even glance at him!"
Ling Ruoke chuckled. "Your eyes are on other people's bodies, why don't you let her see them?"
"That's not how it works. If it's her boyfriend, she'll say I have a chance since we're not married yet. But if we're married, you can sweep her away with a broom. Anyone who dares to covet my man will be killed without mercy!"
The impassioned tone was accompanied by a clicking sound.
"Hehe..." Even the little guy who was focused on eating breakfast was amused by her appearance.
Ling Ruoke teased, "Look, even my son is going to laugh at you. Hurry up and eat, I'm in a rush to get to work."
"No, I need to get back to work!"
...
It was another busy and fulfilling day.
Ling Ruoke walked quickly towards the school gate. It was still a distance from the little one's kindergarten, and if she arrived late, all the other children would have left, and the little one would be lonely.
I had just stepped out the door when I was suddenly stopped by someone.
Looking at the youthful, innocent face before her, Ling Ruoke touched her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. She hadn't expected them to find out where she worked. Although it wasn't difficult to find out, the two sisters were just too troublesome.
"Gu Miaomiao, is there something you need?"
Looking around, it seemed that Gu Zhenzhen hadn't come.
She was becoming increasingly impatient with the two sisters. One was always declaring that her boyfriend belonged to her, and the other was always saying things that upset her. Neither of them was likable!
Gu Miaomiao shoved a stack of papers into her hand. "I already know about you. You're divorced, so you're not a complete woman. You're not good enough for Brother Huo! Uncle Huo and the others would never let Brother Huo marry a divorced woman. You can't marry Brother Huo!"
Ling Ruoke looked at the things in her hands; they were photos from her wedding with Cang Weiwo. These two sisters really went to great lengths, digging up even this. Gu Miaomiao's words had indeed struck a chord with her; she was also worried that Huo Qingfeng's family wouldn't accept her.
“Qingfeng already knew all this; you can ask him if you don’t believe me. As for whether I can marry him, that’s my business. If you’re capable, you can make him marry you right away, instead of you acting like a shrew and showing off at my door at such a young age.”
Pushing aside the people blocking her way, Ling Ruoke strode away.
Gu Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, then chased after her. However, she was not in good physical condition and had to rest after chasing for a while, eventually falling behind Ruo Ke.
Ling Ruoke walked very fast, almost jogging. "Fu'an!"
"Mommy!" The little guy had been waiting at the door with his teacher for a while, and when he saw her appear, he rushed over like a shot.
Ling Ruoke kissed him, thanked the teacher, and then walked to the road and hailed a taxi. She knew Gu Miaomiao was chasing after her and really didn't want to get entangled with her.
"Mommy, are you unhappy?" The little one noticed that Mommy was different today than usual.
Ling Ruoke was surprised by his sensitivity, smiled, and kissed him. "No. How about Xiao Fu'an sings for Mommy? That would make Mommy happy."
"Really?" The little guy smiled and opened his eyes wide to confirm.
"real!"
So the little guy clapped his hands and sang a nursery rhyme. His tone was strange and his voice was childish, which was quite amusing.
Ling Ruoke couldn't help but smile as well.
Gu Miaomiao saw Ling Ruoke carrying Fu'an get into a taxi from a distance, and quickly stood by the roadside to flag it down. But by the time she managed to stop a car, it had already disappeared. Fortunately, she knew which direction the other car had gone.
"Turn left at the intersection ahead!"
...
Several days later.
In the distant city of B, Yang Ziyun was filled with doubt when she received a package with no sender's address or name. Fortunately, all packages undergo security checks; otherwise, she would have been genuinely worried that it might contain dangerous items.
Upon opening the package, there was a stack of photos. However, these weren't printed directly from the internet; they were color prints downloaded from the internet. Strictly speaking, this should be a set of wedding photos.
After glancing at a couple of photos, Yang Ziyun recognized the girl as the young woman Fu'an had mistaken for her mother at the cake shop that day. She looked so young; she hadn't expected her to be married.
As she wondered about the sender's purpose in sending the photo, she noticed several sheets of paper underneath it—a simple report.
After reading the contents of the paper, Yang Ziyun was speechless with shock. The girl's name was Ling Ruoke, and she was the girl Qingfeng had chosen. However, she was divorced, and she had hidden this fact from everyone!
Qingfeng has always been a perfectionist. If he knew, he definitely wouldn't want a woman with such a questionable past. In other words, Qingfeng knew nothing about this! She seemed like a perfectly nice girl; who would have thought she had such a past and such cunning! The Huo family simply cannot accept someone like that!
No, I have to tell Qingfeng right away!
"Madam, the old master is back."
Startled, Yang Ziyun jumped up, grabbing her belongings and stuffing them into the delivery bag while searching for a hiding place. Hearing the footsteps getting closer, she had no choice but to shove the items under the sofa.
Take deep breaths and pat your chest to calm yourself down.
A moment later, a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit strode in. His short, jet-black hair stood up, making him look very energetic. His upright posture and the expression between his brows clearly indicated that he was a soldier. He walked with a powerful and confident stride.
"Wife, what are you doing?" Huo Zhixun walked quickly towards his wife, his expressionless face softening the moment he saw her.
"I didn't do anything." Yang Ziyun quickly put on a smile, but it seemed a little unnatural.
"What's wrong? You look strange. Are you hiding something from me?" Huo Zhixun frowned and narrowed his eyes, checking his wife's expression again.
Yang Ziyun quickly grabbed her husband's arm, her tone slightly coquettish. "No, it's nothing, I just got it while watching TV."
Huo Zhixun believed him, because he had seen his wife cry and laugh over those mindless TV shows countless times. "You, at your age, are still acting like a silly child!"
"Are you saying I'm too old?"
