Chapter 33: A Chance Encounter on the Road

“I didn’t say you were mute,” Nan Fangjue explained.

Huh?

Wen Yanyan wasn’t choked by the dumplings, but by his words.

Why is it so difficult to get a response from him?

What does he really think about Zhang Meimei’s actions?

Silence filled the air.

After dinner, Nan Fangjue returned to his room and continued reading in bed.

…

Wen Yanyan finished washing the dishes and returned to her room, standing at the doorway.

“From now on, when you’re home, I’ll cook, and you’ll wash the dishes. No objections?”

She felt uncomfortable and needed to find some psychological balance.

Nan Fangjue’s eyes moved from his book, simply looking at her without speaking.

Wen Yanyan continued.

“Although you’re a man and I’m a woman, I also work and contribute every day. The mushrooms in the dumplings today were picked by me from the mountain. Based on the fundamental national policy of gender equality, we should share the housework.”

“Okay.”

He expressed no objection.

Huh?

Wen Yanyan was somewhat surprised. This man agreed so quickly?

Is he that easy to talk to?

She punched out in a huff, but it landed on cotton.

She had to find a way to save face herself.

This man doesn’t want to talk, he just doesn’t want to express his true emotions to her, right?

After all, they’re not familiar.

Thinking this, Wen Yanyan stopped being angry. She walked to the dog’s kennel, squatted down, and her lips curled upward.

“Qiuqiu, are you hungry? Don’t worry, I’ll cook you some porridge, it’ll be ready soon.”

She gave it the same name as her previous giant schnauzer.

After speaking, she went to the kitchen.

…

Half an hour later, Wen Yanyan returned with a bowl of rice porridge.

“Here you go, Qiuqiu, eat.”

Nan Fangjue, who was still reading, suddenly smelled the aroma of rice and glanced at the ground.

A bowl of rice porridge?

Does this little guy eat this every day?

He looked deeply at Wen Yanyan. This woman… is interesting.

“Is it a wolf cub?” Nan Fangjue suddenly spoke.

Huh?

Wen Yanyan’s heart sank.

Are his eyes that sharp? Qiuqiu’s tail is even cut off, and he still noticed?

“Qiuqiu is not a wolf cub, it’s…” She was about to formally introduce Qiuqiu.

But.

“Don’t lie to me.”

Nan Fangjue interrupted her.

Wen Yanyan was unwilling.

“I’m not lying to you, it’s an Alaskan husky mix. Although its bark sounds like a wolf, it’s not a wolf, it’s a dog.”

She continued to fabricate.

She thought he would continue to deny it.

But.

“Yes, everything you said is correct, I won’t argue with you, it’s pointless.”

Nan Fangjue understood himself. Whether it’s a wolf or a dog, she’s willing to keep it, which is better than causing trouble outside.

For the past two months, he’s been bombarded with complaints, just thinking about it makes his head ache.

Moreover, he understands that if a wolf lives with humans from a young age, eating human food, it will be domesticated, and its wildness will diminish.

Most importantly, it’s more loyal than a dog, so it’s not bad to keep it.

What?

Arguing with her is pointless?

Wen Yanyan was speechless again. It seems this man is not easy to deceive.

He is not only confident but also very determined.

It’s fine, if he doesn’t believe it, then so be it, as long as others believe it.

…

Before going to bed, Wen Yanyan took out ten yuan from the drawer and gave it to him.

“Your military allowance was paid the day before yesterday, a total of thirty-five yuan, this is your spending money.”

She felt that men should have some money on hand for convenience.

But.

“I don’t need it.”

Nan Fangjue, though surprised, refused.

“You can buy cigarettes.” Wen Yanyan felt it was necessary.

He was slightly stunned.

“How do you know I smoke?” If he remembered correctly, he had never smoked in front of her.

“You have a faint smell of smoke on you.”

Wen Yanyan smelled it this afternoon when she hugged him, a faint scent of tobacco.

“I still have cigarettes to smoke.”

Nan Fangjue refused again.

Since he didn’t want it, Wen Yanyan could only put it away.

“Okay, I’ll put the money in the drawer, take it if you need it, but you should smoke in moderation. Cigarettes contain nicotine, smoking too much will affect your health.”

She used to hate the smell of smoke, thinking it was dirty and pungent.

However, when she smelled the scent of smoke on Nan Fangjue today, she found it quite pleasant.

She also thought he was very manly. This smell of smoke, just like his strong and broad back, was full of temptation and masculine charm.

Nan Fangjue’s head ached again. How does she even know about nicotine?

Wen Yanyan put away the money and went to the kitchen to boil water for a bath.

After returning, she carefully lay on her side of the bed, closing her eyes.

She had made a promise during the day, not to touch him, so she had to keep her promise and not scare him away again.

There’s plenty of time, there will be more opportunities.

Wen Yanyan was also thinking about going to town again tomorrow to learn a skill and find a way to make money.

The night passed without incident.

…

The next morning, when she woke up, she found that he was gone.

Huh? Where is he?

Did she sleep restlessly and touch him, scaring him away again?

After a while, Wen Yanyan realized, yes, he’s a soldier, he should be doing morning exercises at this time.

Looking at the half-empty bed, she was a little worried. It was so quiet last night.

Sigh.

When will she be able to consummate their marriage?

Judging by his attitude, it doesn’t seem optimistic.

After yesterday’s contact, she increasingly felt that this man was her type, definitely an arrangement by heaven to make up for her past regrets.

Work hard.

Hard work pays off.

One day, she will get this man into her basket and eat him up!

Wen Yanyan forced herself to drink a bowl of ginseng chicken soup before getting up.

To make breakfast.

However, she had just washed her face and hadn’t done anything yet when she heard a knock on the door.

Who is it?

Wen Yanyan opened the door and saw a medium-sized soldier standing at the door, holding two lunch boxes.

“Sister-in-law, this is breakfast sent by the regiment commander.”

“Oh, okay, thank you.” Wen Yanyan received them.

“You’re welcome, it’s my job.” He said with a chuckle.

“So, your job is…?”

Wen Yanyan didn’t expect that delivering food was also a job in the army?

“I’m the newly assigned security guard for Regiment Commander Nan, my name is Ding Daliang.” Ding Daliang introduced himself.

Oh, a security guard?

She’s heard of it on TV.

Wen Yanyan understood, “Okay, thank you for your hard work, and please take good care of your regiment commander in the future.”

Not bad, not bad, the regiment commander even has a security guard.

Ding Daliang smiled foolishly.

“No trouble, taking care of the regiment commander is my duty, sister-in-law, I’ll go now.”

“Okay, goodbye.”

She watched Ding Daliang leave before closing the door and taking the lunch boxes back to the room.

Upon opening them, both lunch boxes were full of plump buns.

Wen Yanyan counted, there were six in total.

Why so many?

Did he bring lunch too?

Since the food was delivered by the security guard, Nan Fangjue wouldn’t be coming home for breakfast.

Wen Yanyan felt a little regretful.

…

For breakfast, she only ate one bun, a cabbage and pork filling, she didn’t dare to eat more.

Because she’s still on a diet, she needs to control her food intake.

She gave another bun to Qiuqiu. This little guy has grown a lot and is very clingy.

As long as she’s home alone, it follows her like a little tail.

She put the remaining four buns on the cupboard, saving them for lunch.

…

After finishing breakfast and cleaning the house, Wen Yanyan went to town.

This time, she decided to run.

Because Nan Fangjue had returned, she was in a good mood. Even if she encountered Yu Linglong again,

Whatever she says won’t affect her mood anymore.

You want to marry Nan Fangjue, right?

You want to lie in bed with him and talk about life, right?

No way!

You can try in your next life!

…

Wen Yanyan was running briskly on the road.

At this time, a military jeep drove past, with Nan Fangjue and Lin Sinan inside.

Lin Sinan, who was driving, glanced at her, instantly shocked.

“Damn!”

Nan Fangjue was puzzled, what’s wrong with this kid?

“What’s wrong with you?”

“That woman… look!” Lin Sinan pointed to the right rearview mirror.

“What’s there to look at?”

Nan Fangjue, though reluctant, still glanced, his brows immediately furrowed.

Huh?

This woman running… isn’t it Wen Yanyan?

What’s wrong with her?

Running, isn’t that normal?

Why is this kid making such a fuss? Suddenly, his face turned pale.
