Chapter 94: A Familiar Voice

Seeing that Ji Yuanming’s injury was no longer serious, Lu Qingyun stayed in the ward for a while before leaving the hospital.

He got into the car, and the car slowly started, heading towards the army.

As they were about to reach the army, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side.

Xiao Liu was startled by this sudden event. He quickly slammed on the brakes.

“Screech!” The car stopped just a hand’s width away from Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was completely shocked. She slumped to the ground, her whole body trembling with cold sweat.

She knew it was dangerous to stop a car, but she couldn’t get into the army and couldn’t see Lu Qingyun.

She could only choose this risky method. Thankfully, she wasn’t hit.

Xiao Liu quickly got out of the car and went to Zhou Yu, looking her up and down with concern,

 “Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Zhou Yu’s lips trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes. She shook her head gently, her voice slightly choked, “I’m fine.”

She looked at the car, her gaze fixed on the tall figure inside,

 “Is that Captain Lu in the car? I have something urgent to tell him. I have something very important to say to him.”

Lu Qingyun recognized Zhou Yu at a glance. He couldn’t help but frown.

Xiao Liu looked embarrassed. He also remembered who this woman was.

She was the one who had stopped their car last time. She was Gu Qingan’s wife.

“Wait a moment. I’ll go ask the Captain.”

Xiao Liu quickly walked to the car and said respectfully to Lu Qingyun inside, “Captain, that woman says she has something to tell you.”

Lu Qingyun’s eyes were indifferent. His voice was calm and cold,

 “Get in. Drive.” He didn’t want to waste time here listening to irrelevant things.

“Yes!” Xiao Liu immediately went to the driver’s seat, opened the door, and got in.

Seeing that Zhou Yu wouldn’t move, he was a little helpless. He could only reverse the car a little and then carefully drive around Zhou Yu.

“Captain Lu, don’t leave! I really have something important to tell you. You’ll regret it if you don’t listen!”

When the car passed by her, Zhou Yu quickly ran to the side of the car, slammed on the window, and shouted to Lu Qingyun inside.

Lu Qingyun acted as if he hadn’t heard. He didn’t even give Zhou Yu a glance.

Xiao Liu kept looking in the rearview mirror, paying attention to the situation behind.

Once the car passed Zhou Yu, he immediately stepped on the gas and accelerated.

Looking at the rapidly disappearing car, Zhou Yu gritted her teeth in frustration, her eyes filled with determination,

“Lu Qingyun, you can’t escape. Only I can save you. I’m your destined woman.”

As soon as Lu Qingyun returned to his office, he couldn’t wait to pick up the phone and dial Ling Yao’s home number.

 It was Sunday, so Yaoyao should be home.

He knew Yaoyao would be taking the college entrance exam soon. He didn’t want to disturb her, but he really missed her.

Even just hearing her voice and talking to her for a few words would be enough.

The phone rang. Ji Yanting walked over and answered the phone. “Hello!”

“Hello! Is Ling Yao there?” Lu Qingyun recognized Ji Yanting’s voice.

“Yaoyao’s not here. She went to the library with her classmates.”

Ji Yanting thought the voice sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn’t remember for the moment.

“When will she be back?” Lu Qingyun’s voice revealed a hint of disappointment.

“I don’t know.”

“I’ll call back later.” Lu Qingyun was filled with disappointment and slowly hung up the phone.

Ji Yanting hung up the phone and walked towards the door.

He took two steps and suddenly stopped. He finally remembered that the person’s voice was very similar to Lu Qingyun’s.

However, as soon as this thought appeared, he immediately denied it. How could Lu Qingyun be calling Yaoyao?

 It must just be a voice that sounded similar. He shook his head, trying to dismiss this strange thought.

Ling Yao walked into the house, carrying a bag of books.

Seeing Ji Yanting standing there in a daze, she walked over and called out softly, “Dad!”

Ji Yanting snapped out of his daze and smiled at Ling Yao, “Someone called you just now. It was a man.

 He said he would call you back later.” He knew Yaoyao had a boyfriend, but he hadn’t met him yet.

 But it wouldn’t be easy to marry his daughter. That stinky boy would have to pass his test first.

“I know. I’ll go put these books away.” Ling Yao nodded with a smile and walked towards her room.

Closing the door, Ling Yao placed the books on her desk.

After thinking for a moment, she picked up the phone and dialed.

She hadn’t contacted Lu Qingyun in half a month.

When she called his army unit the other day, they said he was on a mission and hadn’t returned yet.

She wondered if he was back now.

Lu Qingyun was leaning back in his chair, pretending to be asleep, when he heard the phone ring.

He quickly opened his eyes and quickly reached out with his long, strong hand with distinct knuckles, picking up the phone.

“Hello! This is Lu Qingyun.” His voice was calm and steady, without a hint of fluctuation.

“It’s me.” A sweet and melodious voice came from the other end, flowing into Lu Qingyun’s ears, making his heart tremble. His ears felt a tingling sensation.

Lu Qingyun’s eyes instantly lit up. He couldn’t help but smile in surprise, “Yaoyao, you’re back.”

“I just got back. My dad said someone called me, so I thought it might be you.”

She had also thought about Lu Qingyun often these past few days, worried that he might get hurt on his mission.

The smile on Lu Qingyun’s lips deepened. His eyes were filled with tenderness,

“I received the package you sent. The dried meat is delicious. And the medicine works really well.”

“Are you injured?” Ling Yao’s heart tightened. If he wasn’t injured, Lu Qingyun wouldn’t have needed her medicine.

“No, it’s Yuanming. I gave him the medicine you gave me. He’s out of danger now. Don’t worry.”

Lu Qingyun told her what had happened at the hospital.

Ling Yao breathed a sigh of relief, “When did you get back?”

“I just got back to the army. Yaoyao, I miss you. Do you miss me?”

Lu Qingyun’s voice was low and magnetic, slightly hoarse, like a feather, gently teasing Ling Yao’s heartstrings, making her heart beat faster involuntarily.

“Yeah.” A blush of shyness appeared on Ling Yao’s face, like a ripe apple, rosy and juicy.

Hearing this, Lu Qingyun was overjoyed. He wished he could fly to Ling Yao’s side immediately and hold her tightly in his arms.

They chatted back and forth, sharing each other’s recent happenings, their laughter echoing in the air.

When they hung up, they were both surprised to realize that they had unknowingly chatted for over an hour.
