Chapter 57 : It is my blessing to marry her

Hearing this voice, Shen He frowned slightly and didn’t want to respond at all.

It turned out that the person calling him was Yan Yixing’s wife, Liu Hong.

“Hey, wait a minute.”

It seemed like he hadn’t heard her call, so Liu Hong quickly stepped forward to block his way.

Being stopped, Shen He had no choice but to pause.

“Sister-in-law.”

He greeted her briefly, saying nothing more.

Liu Hong didn’t take it to heart. Who in the army didn’t know that Shen He was famous for being quiet?

“I heard you married a country girl?”

Liu Hong had just arrived on the island not long ago, and after Shen He married, his husband hadn’t sent any letters, so she didn’t know that the deputy commander was already married.

Now, hearing that his wife had come to join the army, Liu Hong was shocked.

Hearing these dismissive words, Shen He’s face became noticeably colder.

“My wife is from Haishi.”

But in Liu Hong’s view, going to the countryside to join the production team meant being a country person. After all, she hadn’t seen many people who returned after going to the countryside.

“You are so confused. How can you mess around with something as big as marrying a wife?”

This statement was almost as if she were saying that he shouldn’t marry an educated youth who went to the countryside to work, as it wouldn’t be of any help to him.

But Shen He couldn’t tolerate hearing anything bad about his wife.

“My wife is very good. It’s my blessing to marry her.”

He was normally cold and serious, but at that moment, his expression showed contentment with his wife, which directly silenced Liu Hong.

Shen He didn’t care about her reaction. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now. I still have to bring the food back.” He turned and walked away briskly.

Liu Hong watched his hurried departure, and her face looked slightly upset.

Could the rumor be true? Is his wife really that beautiful?

Just as she was thinking about this, an anxious voice came from the side.

“Sister, how is it? Is it true?”

Liu Meng had been inside just now and didn’t dare to get too close. She couldn’t hear what the two had talked about.

Seeing Shen He leave, she quickly walked out.

Seeing her sister’s anxious look, Liu Hong felt irritated.

“It’s true. You have no chance.”

“Forget about it.” It was fate. When I was with the army, my sister said she wanted to go to the island for a visit. But who would have known that when she invited her for dinner, my sister fell in love with this deputy regiment commander at first sight? After returning, she insisted on coming to Lianning County Military Hospital.

It was also her fault for not asking more clearly, she assumed he wasn’t married.

Now that his wife has arrived on the island, what else can she say?

Hearing this, Liu Meng was stunned, her face full of disbelief.

“How could he be married?”

He was obviously such a cold person. He never spoke to female comrades and wasn’t like other men who couldn’t walk when they saw a beautiful girl.

How could such a man be married?

“How could it be false? I think he cherishes her very much. He was upset when I said something.”

Thinking of this, Liu Hong’s face darkened.

Her man was still her superior, but he had been so dismissive.

Liu Meng no longer understood what Liu Hong was talking about. At this moment, her mind was full of the fact that he was really married.

But if he was married, what would she do?

She was a nurse and pretty, so how could she not measure up to his wife, an educated youth?

Shen He didn’t give much thought to the little episode. By this time, he had already reached the door of his house. He walked quickly, and it only took him more than ten minutes to go back and forth.

At this moment, Su Ranran had just finished taking a shower.

Holding a towel in one hand and an empty bucket in the other, Su Ranran walked out of the shower room.

Just as she was about to wipe her wet hair after stepping out, she heard a sound from the door.

Looking up, she saw the tall figure of Shen He standing at the door.

Shen He hadn’t expected that when he came back, he would run into his wife who had just finished taking a shower. 

At that moment, her little face was faintly flushed, and her thick black hair, like seaweed, was still dripping with water, scattered behind her. Her skin, as white as snow, looked even more like jade against the light-colored clothes she wore.

Shen He had good eyesight, and even from such a distance, he could see the faint silhouette under her wet clothes. The breathtaking curves immediately caught his eye.

But the woman seemed unaware of how attractive she looked, her small face full of innocence. She flashed him a bright smile as she saw him.

“You’re back!”

Shen He’s Adam’s apple moved up and down without making a sound, and his voice turned a bit hoarse.

“Yeah.”

As soon as his long legs stepped into the yard, he closed the door behind him.

Seeing him close the door again, Su Ranran found it a bit strange but didn’t think much of it, assuming it was because it was getting dark.

The dining table and stools in the kitchen had already been set up, and everything was just right, with one table and four stools.

If they wanted to entertain guests, they would have to borrow stools, tables, and even bowls, chopsticks, and basins from other families.

But this kind of thing was quite normal in this era. Whenever someone had a banquet in the team, they would borrow these things from other families.

It was nearly six o’clock, and the couple didn’t delay much. Shen He opened the two boxes of lunch he had brought back.

Su Ranran looked at the two full lunch boxes and felt a little nauseous.

She thought she would die if she ate even half of it.

Seeing the embarrassment on her face, Shen He couldn’t help but laugh.

“Eat first, leave the rest for me.”

Su Ranran: …

In the Shen household, you eat as much as you can. Su Ranran’s bowl wasn’t large, and she didn’t eat much, so there was never any leftover food.

At this moment, she couldn’t help but blush when she heard the man’s casual words.

It turned out that in the few times they had been intimate, Shen He had never kissed her. She didn’t know whether it was because he was inexperienced or because he sensed her resistance.

“Yeah.”

Su Ranran responded softly and sat down.

Seeing the shyness on her face, Shen He’s already intense gaze became even hotter.

After a pause, he pulled out the stool next to her and sat down.

Looking at the fatty braised pork, Su Ranran was a little at a loss for a moment.

Before she could pick up her chopsticks, she saw a pair of chopsticks reach over and start taking the fat pieces from her lunch box one by one.

Then, the chopsticks picked up the lean meat from his bowl and placed it into her lunch box.

Su Ranran turned her head and met the man’s resolute profile. His serious expression made it seem like he was doing something important, if you didn’t know any better.

“Shen He.”

Shen He was picking out the vegetables in the box when he heard the woman’s soft voice. He turned his head instinctively.

The next moment, a soft and sweet kiss was placed on his cheek.

In an instant, the already warm room seemed to catch fire, and the temperature suddenly rose.
