Chapter 147: Yang Qiuhong

“Captain Lu? Which Captain Lu?”

“There’s only one Captain Lu in our army!”

“Didn’t Captain Lu always dislike women? Why did he suddenly get married?”

“Right? It’s so sudden. I’m really curious what Captain Lu’s wife looks like?”

“Well, even if she’s beautiful, can she be as beautiful as the flower of the art troupe?

 I’m telling you, I saw the flower of the art troupe confess to Captain Lu with my own eyes.”

“Wow, really? Did Captain Lu agree?” Everyone was excited when they heard this and turned to look at the woman who was talking.

“Of course, he didn’t agree. Otherwise, how could his current wife be here?”

 The woman said with a hint of regret. She thought the flower of the art troupe and Captain Lu were a good match.

They were both handsome and beautiful. Their children would definitely be very beautiful.

The car slowly drove past the rows of apartment buildings and stopped in front of a row of small houses with courtyards.

“We’re here. This courtyard is our home.” Lu Qingyun stopped the car and turned to look at Ling Yao with tenderness.

Ling Yao opened the car door and got out. She looked at the courtyard in front of her.

She wasn’t unfamiliar with family housing complexes. In her previous life, after she married Gu Qingan, she also lived here when she went with him to the army.

But at that time, they lived in the apartment buildings in front.

She knew that there were detached courtyards behind the apartment buildings.

The families living there were all at the regiment commander level or above.

She had only been there once in her previous life. She didn’t expect to live here in this lifetime.

“Let’s go in and take a look.” Lu Qingyun reached out and took Ling Yao’s hand, leading her towards the courtyard.

He gently pushed open the courtyard gate. With a creak, the gate opened, revealing a spacious courtyard.

The courtyard was large. In the middle stood a thick, sturdy tree, like a giant green umbrella, shading a large area.

Under the tree was a rustic stone table and two stone chairs, as if waiting for the owner’s return.

A gentle breeze blew, rustling the leaves, and the fresh air rushed towards them, carrying a hint of coolness, making them feel refreshed.

“Do you like it here?” Lu Qingyun asked softly, his eyes filled with tenderness and anticipation.

He knew Ling Yao liked to cool off and drink tea under the shade of trees in the summer, so he specifically chose this courtyard with a tree.

Ling Yao nodded happily, “I love it!”

“Let’s go inside and take a look.” Lu Qingyun smiled and took Ling Yao’s hand, leading her into the house.

 He had been coming here to decorate the house whenever he had free time. He wanted to give Yaoyao a surprise.

As the door slowly opened, a spacious and bright living room appeared before them.

In the center of the living room was a set of comfortable and soft sofas. There were also a few vibrant green plants, a television, and a refrigerator.

The entire space felt cozy and comfortable.

Sunlight streamed through the windows with pale blue curtains and fell onto the floor, creating patches of mottled light and shadow, giving a sense of peace and tranquility.

“I love it!” Ling Yao turned to look at Lu Qingyun, her eyes filled with joy.

Lu Qingyun affectionately pinched Ling Yao’s nose, “See if there’s anything missing. We’ll go buy it later.”

“Okay.”

Ling Yao walked around the house. She found that every piece of furniture in the house was to her liking.

She could tell that Lu Qingyun had put a lot of thought into it. A wave of sweetness washed over her.

As she came down from the stairs, a fresh and strong fruity fragrance wafted into her nose, as if the entire air was infused with this sweetness.

Looking up, she saw Lu Qingyun walking out of the kitchen, carrying a plate of neatly cut watermelon.

Seeing Ling Yao, Lu Qingyun’s face lit up with a bright smile, “Yaoyao, come try this watermelon I just cut. It’s very fresh.”

 He had specifically asked someone to pick and buy this watermelon from a nearby melon field yesterday.

“Coming!” Ling Yao walked over to Lu Qingyun with light, cheerful steps and sat down on the comfortable sofa beside him.

Lu Qingyun carefully picked out a piece of watermelon from the center of the plate, the one with the most vibrant color, and handed it to Ling Yao, “Try this one. See if it’s sweet.”

Ling Yao took the watermelon and gently opened her lips, taking a bite.

Instantly, the sweet and juicy fruit burst in her mouth, like a clear spring nourishing her throat.

Her mouth was filled with a delightful, sweet taste, “It’s very sweet and delicious!”

Lu Qingyun watched Ling Yao’s satisfied expression, and his smile deepened.

In the neighboring courtyard, a woman wearing a polka-dot dress, high heels, and a perm walked out.

As she passed by Lu Qingyun’s courtyard, she heard the woman’s laughter coming from inside. She blinked in confusion.

“Didn’t they say they were coming tomorrow?”

She thought for a moment and turned back into the courtyard. She wanted to see what Lu Qingyun’s wife looked like. Why would a man as cold as Lu Qingyun fall for her?

Seeing that Lu Qingyun was staring at her and not eating the watermelon, Ling Yao handed him the watermelon in her hand, “Take a bite.”

Lu Qingyun opened his mouth and took a bite of the watermelon, “It’s very sweet, but it’ll be even sweeter like this.”

He leaned closer to Ling Yao with a mischievous smile, feeding her the watermelon in his mouth.

The sweetness exploded in their mouths, their lips and tongues slowly intertwined. They gradually lost themselves…

The woman didn’t expect to see this scene. Her face flushed red. She didn’t know whether to leave or stay.

Ling Yao felt a gaze on her. She gently pushed Lu Qingyun away and turned to look. She saw the woman at the door.

 Her eyes instantly turned cold. She recognized that woman.

 In her previous life, she and Zhou Yu were best friends. She and Zhou Yu would always find ways to bully her.

Once, she even poured a bowl of soup on her head in front of everyone, making her the laughingstock of the family housing complex.

The woman met Ling Yao’s gaze and coughed awkwardly, “I saw the door was open, so I wanted to come in and say hello.”

 Lu Qingyun’s wife was so beautiful. No wonder even a man like Lu Qingyun would fall for her.

Lu Qingyun looked at the woman calmly, his eyes filled with a hint of displeasure, “Sister-in-law, I hope you’ll knock next time you come over.”

The woman chuckled awkwardly and nodded, “I won’t disturb you anymore. Hehehe…”

With that, she quickly turned and left.

Lu Qingyun withdrew his gaze. Seeing Ling Yao thoughtfully staring at the door, he said,

 “She’s Yang Qiuhong, the wife of the regiment commander next door. She’s a nurse at the military hospital.”

“Okay.” Ling Yao nodded and withdrew her gaze.

In her previous life, the medicine Zhou Yu gave her was given to her by Yang Qiuhong.

She accidentally discovered something about Yang Qiuhong.

While she was at work, she accidentally gave the wrong medicine to a patient, resulting in the patient’s death.

Later, Yang Qiuhong, using her status as the regiment commander’s wife, blamed another young nurse.

The young nurse refused to admit it and used suicide to prove her innocence.

She looked at the calendar on the wall. If she remembered correctly, that incident should happen the day after tomorrow.
