Chapter 14

After leaving the restaurant, the autumn wind was still a bit chilly.

“Doctor Song, I’ll take you there. It’s so late and it’s too far to walk back. Please don’t refuse.”

Gu Haiyang looked at Ou Zinan, then at Song Chenchen, and took out two star candies from his pocket.

He handed one to Ou Zinan and one to Song Chenchen.

“Here, take a piece of candy after dinner. Don’t eat too much, it will cause tooth decay…”

Song Chenchen took the star candy,

“Okay, thank you, Captain Gu!”

She looked back at the diner behind her.

There were still greetings and sounds of laughter inside.

Song Chenchen thought: Were the engineers at the arsenal talking about the “complicated relationship” between the three of them again?

Today’s dinner will definitely reach Ou Mobei’s ears.

Walking to the front of the car, Gu Haiyang politely opened the door for Song Chenchen.

Song Chenchen took Ou Zinan to the back seat of the car.

“Nannan, let’s go home.”

There was no conversation along the way.

But when they were about to reach the agency, Gu Haiyang spoke.

“I want to find a chance to take Nan Nan to stay with me for two days before I go on a mission. Is that okay with you?”

“Uh… Nannan, except for weekends, he is in full-time care at the military kindergarten. Besides…”

“I understand. If Dr. Song feels embarrassed, I’ll discuss it with Lao Ou.”

Song Chenchen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Hey, you should have said it earlier!

The child’s main guardian is still Ou Mobei, so I have no decision-making power.

It feels like Gu Haiyang is just making small talk.

“Well, if you have any problems in the future, you should go to him first. He is the one who makes the decisions on everything in our family.”

“…”

As soon as he finished speaking, the car stopped downstairs of the cadres’ dormitory.

Song Chenchen took Ou Zinan out of the car.

“Say goodbye to Uncle Gu!”

“Goodbye, uncle!”

“Thank you for your hospitality today, Captain Gu.

On Monday, I will prescribe the medicine and leave it at the nurse’s station. Just remember to pick it up.”

Song Chenchen thought he was smart and distanced himself from all ties.

Who knew that Gu Haiyang’s next sentence would make her a little confused.

“Song Chenchen, will you divorce him?”

Song Chenchen had her back to Gu Haiyang, and her eyes widened when she heard these words.

What, divorce?

No, she never thought about it, unless…

Unless Ou Mobei doesn’t want her anymore.

“Captain Gu, you’re asking that question. We just got married. How is this possible?”

“What are those candy wrappers? Can you tell me?”

Gu Haiyang wanted to hear that the person Song Chenchen was concerned about for seven years was actually him.

Yes, he was sure of it the moment Song Chenchen showed up for the appointment.

“Those were just thoughts I had while working on the front lines.

It’s all over.

Now is a peaceful time.”

Song Chenchen’s answer seemed to be cutting off the relationship with himself.

Gu Haiyang could sense the meaning behind it.

He anxiously walked around to Song Chenchen.

“You, you can be braver. This is not the impression I have of you.”

“What’s your impression of me?”

After hearing what Gu Haiyang said, Song Chenchen was full of curiosity.

“Independent, strong, opinionated, and someone who won’t follow the crowd.”

“hehe……”

Song Chenchen smiled slightly.

Indeed, a brilliant summary!

“Captain Gu, I am a soldier, and I am also a woman.”

“Women should be loved and cared for, right?”

Song Chenchen, who was about to take another step forward, was stopped again by Gu Haiyang’s words.

She looked up at her dormitory on the third floor.

There was no light, and Ou Mobei was not at home.

Her heart felt even emptier…

“Thank you. I think I will be happy!”

Song Chenchen took a deep breath. She could only answer Gu Haiyang with the briefest words.

“Captain Gu, we are soldiers, and we should all know where our hearts belong!”

“Just because you’re a soldier, why don’t you dare face your feelings?

Do you know that in these five years, I have been thinking about you all the time? “

Gu Haiyang was a little excited at the moment, which was in stark contrast to his calmness during the meal.

But at this moment, Song Chenchen has redefined the relationship between the two of them.

“Captain Gu, over the years, our understanding and dedication to our relationship have been unequal from the very beginning. So, I’m sorry, I can’t empathize with you!”

After saying that, she took Nan Nan’s hand and quickened her pace.

“Nannan, let’s go…”

“Don’t go, Chenchen.

Our relationship can be rekindled.

We still have Nan Nan, don’t we?”

Gu Haiyang grabbed Song Chenchen with one hand.

His voice was much lower, and Song Chenchen felt humble and pleading.

What on earth happened to make such a battlefield hero have such a state of mind?

Song Chenchen felt that he was trying hard to hold on to everything he once had.

“Captain Gu, my husband has raised your child for five years, taking care of him like he’s his own. You’re being too cruel to do this.”

When Ou Zinan was mentioned, Song Chenchen became even more excited.

If it weren’t for the nature of Ou Mobei’s job, Ou Zinan would have been left unattended.

Why would the Political Department be so eager to help him solve his personal problems?

There would not be this so-called “mismatched” marriage.

“Also, I think it’s more appropriate for Captain Gu to call me Doctor Song.”

“No, there are some things that belong to me that can never be replaced.”

“I’d like to ask Captain Gu, what makes you so sure that the person you’ve been giving candy to for seven years is me, Song Chenchen?”

“Seven years?”

“Well, isn’t it? Seven years…”

Gu Haiyang hesitated for two seconds, as if he had some doubts in his mind.

However, he didn’t ask after all.

“Because, my sister. She was with you back then, and she told me.”

Well done, it turned out that it was my best friend who betrayed me.

Gu Yiqian…

“I understand, Captain Gu. You and your sister have already planned all of this, right?”

Gu Chenchen became even angrier after hearing this. He immediately picked up Ou Zinan and walked towards the dormitory building.

Hearing the footsteps of Gu Haiyang catching up behind her, she immediately turned around.

“Don’t follow me. Don’t forget, this is an agency and we are all soldiers.”

There was anger and grievance in Song Chenchen’s eyes.

Gu Haiyang looked at her reaction and wanted to step forward to explain.

“dad……”

Ou Zinan’s word “Dad” got on the nerves of Song Chenchen and Gu Haiyang.

The two of them looked in the direction where Ou Zinan was shouting almost at the same time.

I saw that Ou Mobei was not wearing camouflage clothes today.

He was wearing a military shirt and his regular army trousers.

It looks like he just came out of home.

He quickly walked to Song Chenchen’s side and took Ou Zinan from her hand.

“Dad, Uncle Gu invited Mom and me to dinner tonight. Why didn’t you come?”

Song Chenchen and Ou Mobei are very close.

She smelled the strong smell of tobacco from Ou Mobei again.

How many cigarettes has he smoked?

“Nannan, are you full? Dad just came back after completing a mission.”

“Dad, Nan Nan misses you.”

“Son, Daddy misses you too!”

The word “son” seemed to pierce Gu Haiyang’s heart…
