Chapter 15: He is rough and sexy

Shen Sisi didn’t have much with her, leaving many belongings in the countryside.

While packing, she planned to return to Jinfeng Village once they settled in the city, bringing everything she needed, especially “that” thing, a clue related to Niu Niu’s biological father, which couldn’t be left behind.

Soon, her and Niu Niu’s clothes were packed.

Standing at the door with her bags, she saw Gu Chengfeng clumsily making faces to make Niu Niu laugh, and couldn’t help but smile.

Warmth filled her, she said with anticipation: “Gu Chengfeng, Niu Niu, let’s go!”

Gu Chengfeng’s ears twitched, excitedly lifting Niu Niu and spinning her around: “Let’s go, let’s go home…”

With the 700 yuan dowry from her uncle, they took a few hours’ train ride to Jiangcheng, the provincial capital.

As soon as they exited the station, a green jeep honked its horn.

Feng Yanzhou rolled down the window, noticing Shen Sisi and Gu Chengfeng’s matching scarves.

Tsk tsk, truly enviable!

He smiled: “Sister-in-law, Niu Niu, over here…”

Shen Sisi didn’t expect him to be there, turning around: “It’s so late, why are you here?”

“Old Gu asked me to pick you up, it’s freezing cold, you and Niu Niu can’t walk back.”

Shen Sisi was surprised, Gu Chengfeng was so thoughtful.

“Thank you, Gu Chengfeng, and Commissar Feng, you’ve been so kind.”

Feng Yanzhou smiled and waved, looking relieved. He thought Old Gu would be alone forever, but he’s quite capable!

“Hehe, it’s nothing.”

Gu Chengfeng wasn’t as talkative, naturally taking Shen Sisi’s bag and opening the car door for her.

“Get in.”

Shen Sisi got in, he naturally reached out to shield her head.

The car door closed, blocking out the cold wind.

Feng Yanzhou chatted for a while, then his expression turned serious: “Sister-in-law, regarding your marriage certificate, I’ve reported it to the commander, it will take some time, you know the process… stay in the family compound for now.”

Was it okay to live there before getting married?

Would it affect Gu Chengfeng?

Shen Sisi was worried, holding Niu Niu tighter.

Gu Chengfeng subtly looked at her, seeing her furrowed brows, thinking she was shy.

“Stay here, I’ll stay in the army dormitory tonight, and come over during the day.”

Feng Yanzhou almost drove himself crazy. He just said Old Gu had changed, now he’s being silly again, how can they develop feelings if they don’t live together?

He stared straight ahead, saying: “I’m sorry, Old Gu, some comrades from the Northwest Military Region came for training today, your bunk is gone!”

Gu Chengfeng knew about the Northwest Military Region sending people for training, but he didn’t expect them to take his dormitory.

It was taken, what could he say?

Seeing him silent, his face darkening, Shen Sisi knew he was worried about accommodation.

“Senior Gu… why don’t you come back here, Niu Niu and I can stay outside.”

“No way!” Gu Chengfeng’s face darkened, saying: “If anyone moves, it’s me, you two stay here.”

Feng Yanzhou laughed: “Neither of you needs to go, the new house is spacious…”

At his reminder, Gu Chengfeng remembered he had been promoted to deputy regiment commander, his house wasn’t the old one-bedroom apartment anymore, there were plenty of rooms.

“New house?” Shen Sisi asked curiously.

Feng Yanzhou chuckled, Gu Chengfeng hadn’t told Shen Sisi about the promotion, he was really tight-lipped.

He teased: “You’ll see…”

The jeep drove to the military family compound, stopping in front of a courtyard.

The rectangular courtyard wasn’t large, but sufficient.

The bluestone brick house was square, only one story, but independent, quiet and spacious.

Shen Sisi was stunned.

Were the conditions for battalion commanders this good?

Gu Chengfeng also raised an eyebrow in surprise, he had never seen it before.

Feng Yanzhou opened the gate and helped carry the bags.

Shen Sisi, holding Niu Niu, hesitantly followed him. As soon as they entered, they saw that the house was empty, with little furniture, but everything was new and clean.

“This will be our home.” Gu Chengfeng put down his things, looking at Shen Sisi and Niu Niu.

Shen Sisi couldn’t contain her excitement, looking up at the large house.

Yes, they finally had a home…

Feng Yanzhou also felt moved.

He had worried that Gu Chengfeng would be lonely living alone in such a large house, but now, he had a wife and child.

“Um, sister-in-law, make yourself at home, Old Gu and I need to talk…” Feng Yanzhou gave Gu Chengfeng a look, and they walked into the courtyard.

Shen Sisi, holding Niu Niu, walked around the house.

The house was large, but only had two bedrooms.

One for her and Niu Niu, one for Gu Chengfeng, just right.

Niu Niu curiously looked around, her eyes wide.

The new house was beautiful, with white walls and glass windows, unlike their home in the countryside, with peeling walls and a paper window that leaked wind in winter and rain in summer.

Most importantly, the new house had electricity, no more kerosene lamps.

Niu Niu excitedly ran around, Shen Sisi let her be, starting to make the bed.

The bed was new, with two sets of bedding in the cupboard, enough for now, she would buy bedsheets and pillowcases tomorrow.

As soon as Shen Sisi finished, Gu Chengfeng walked in with a dark face.

“Sisi, there’s an emergency, I have to go out tomorrow, I’ll be back in two or three days.”

“So soon.” Shen Sisi saw that he was always busy, worried about his health.

Gu Chengfeng nodded, taking out the house key, his passbook, and some food and cloth coupons.

“This is my savings, and these coupons, take them, buy whatever you want, I’ll be back.”

The mission was urgent, he didn’t want to leave them.

Shen Sisi didn’t look at the passbook, only taking the coupons.

“You’ve been so kind to me, I can’t take this money. By the way, I’ll give you the 700 yuan from my uncle… you bought so many things for the bride price, you should keep it…”

Gu Chengfeng frowned slightly: “That’s your dowry, what kind of man would I be if I took your dowry?”

What’s the difference between that and sponging off a woman?

He was firm, stuffing the passbook into Shen Sisi’s hand: “Take it, this is all yours, in the future, my salary is yours, the house is yours, and I… am yours too!”

Shen Sisi’s heart skipped a beat, this sounded ambiguous!

He was entrusting himself to her?

She looked up at the man’s handsome face.

His brows were sharp, his features strong, with a hint of stubble on his chin, rugged and sexy.

She was momentarily stunned, unable to look away.
