Chapter 224 wants to say, how could there be no chance?
Today, Zhuo Lanyu wasn't wearing her military uniform; instead, she wore a long wool skirt paired with a white sweater, exuding gentleness.
When Zhou Zhenxing first saw her, he was immediately struck by her beauty.
"Brother Zhou, some things in the team delayed us when we came out. Have you been waiting for a long time?" Zhuo Lanyu had put on exquisite makeup, with red lips and white teeth, making her look completely different from usual.
Zhou Zhenxing shook his head and said very seriously, "It hasn't been long, and it's my honor to wait for the beauty to keep our appointment."
One sentence made Zhuo Lanyu laugh so hard her eyes crinkled.
Zhou Zhenxing, like a gentleman, considerately pulled out a chair for her.
Zhuo Lanyu said, "Thank you."
Zhou Zhenxing then handed over the menu, "I've already ordered a few dishes, is there anything else you'd like to eat?"
Zhuo Lanyu said ambiguously, "I like to eat anything that Brother Zhou orders."
Zhou Zhenxing did indeed order all the dishes according to her preferences.
"Brother Zhou, it's rare for you to come home, why didn't you rest at home for a while longer?" Zhuo Lanyu asked with concern.
As Zhou Zhenxing set out the dishes for her, he said, "The end of the year is approaching, and the team is busy with work. I've settled things at home, so I'm coming back."
Zhuo Lanyu's eyes flickered, and she tentatively asked, "Are Uncle and Aunt alright?"
Zhou Zhenxing's movements clearly stopped.
Zhuo Lanyu's heart skipped a beat as she stared at his face, trying to hide her nervousness.
A few seconds later, Zhou Zhenxing forced a stiff smile. "It's all good."
He was completely unaware that his father had passed away months ago, and yet he still divorced Su Jin at this crucial time.
Even though he said he had a clear conscience, he still felt guilty deep down, so he couldn't bring himself to say it, and he didn't want Zhuo Lanyu to pity him.
"That's wonderful!" Zhuo Lanyu suddenly blurted out an inappropriate remark.
However, she quickly realized what Zhou Zhenxing was thinking and noticed his serious gaze. She hurriedly explained, "What I mean is, it's best if the elders are all well."
Zhou Zhenxing, unsuspecting, nodded somewhat awkwardly.
"Do they know about your divorce from Su Jin?" Zhuo Lanyu's emotions changed noticeably when Su Jin was mentioned.
Zhou Zhenxing told the truth, "I haven't had time to tell my family yet."
Zhuo Lanyu frowned. If she wanted to speak, how could she not have the chance?
Zhou Zhenxing didn't want her to misunderstand, so he took the initiative to explain, "Su Jin is the daughter-in-law they chose. They hope that Su Jin can take care of my daily life, so they have always opposed our divorce."
“I thought I should give my family some time to accept it. Anyway, Su Jin can’t go back to Daliushu Village. In time, my mother will be able to accept the fact that she’s not here.”
Zhuo Lanyu murmured, "She can't possibly go back."
Su Jin is now living a comfortable and successful life in the family compound. How could she possibly want to go back to that remote mountain village?
Zhou Zhenxing didn't hear clearly, "Lan Yu, what did you say?"
Zhuo Lanyu shook off her jealousy towards Su Jin and looked at him again.
“Brother Zhou, you did the right thing. We can’t upset the old man.”
Zhou Zhenxing gave her a grateful look, "Thank you for understanding me."
"Let's not talk about that. Brother Zhou, I heard that the regiment is going to form a special action team, and the regimental commander has already appointed you as the instructor?"
Zhuo Lanyu took the initiative to change the subject. This action team, which had not yet been formed, was already the talk of the town throughout the military region and was enjoying unparalleled popularity.
