Seeing the fierceness fade, Gu Yan’s tone softened.

  She looked intently at the tall and handsome man before her. In the depths of her eyes, starlight seemed to be whirling.

  “Lu Ye.”


  “Hmm?”


  “I won’t end up liking Lin Haoran. He’s nothing compared to you.”


  The embers in Captain Lu’s eyes intensified. That joyful expression couldn’t be contained.

  This was probably the most wonderful thing Lu Ye had heard.

  A smile played at the corner of his mouth, and in the next second, he was grinning from ear to ear.

  “You’re perceptive!” Captain Lu gave Gu Yan a thumbs up.

  ‘One minute he behaves like a child and the next he acts like a grown man.’


  As Gu Yan kept looking at Lu Ye, he could feel her heart overflow with tenderness.

  The two interlaced their fingers.

  A brewing argument was immediately nipped in the bud just like that.

  Gu Yan looked at Lu Ye who was beaming with happiness. Suddenly, she recalled a similar scene, but with a different outcome, from her past life. Lu Ye exhibited the same amount of uneasiness back when Lin Haoran appeared by her side. He was insecure and angry.

  Then, the situation would always ripen into a quarrel.

  Lu Ye would let out some harsh words while Gu Yan would be upset as well. Motivated by anger, she would yell, ‘Lin Haoran is better than you in every aspect!’


  She could still remember how the light Lu Ye’s eyes would dim down. In an instant, he seemed to have become an abandoned child.

  Gu Yan closed her eyes and reminded herself how relationships required effort. No matter how beautiful the relationship was, both sides would have to cherish it in order for it to flourish.

  They needed to trust each other now.

  In this life, she was going to learn how to love and protect their relationship.

  “Wifey, did you want me to kiss you by closing your eyes?” Lu Ye’s playful voice broke the mood.

  Gu Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He really knew how to ruin the atmosphere.

  Captain Lu couldn’t be serious for more than three minutes!

  Gu Yan asked in an annoyed tone, “Captain Lu, can you stop thinking about these sorts of things all day?”


  “With such a beautiful wife by my side, if I don’t have thoughts like that, something might be wrong with me.” Captain Lu’s words became unsuitable for kids. He said seriously, “Wife, your man’s body is fine. If you don’t believe me, you can check it.”


  He seemed very eager to be inspected.

  Gu Yan’s eyes rolled. “Captain Lu, how many relationships have you had?”


  He seemed like an expert in flirting.

  Lu Ye’s face stiffened for a few seconds. This was a tricky question.

  If he said he had none, would she laugh at him for having no experience?

  But if he claimed to have a few…… what if she got jealous or ended up disliking him?!

  Lu Ye squeezed her hands firmly and said, “Wife, ever since I’ve met you, I would date you in my dreams every night. So, I don’t know how many times I’ve dated.”


  Gu Yan: “.……”


  During this time, Lin Haoran was back in his room. He sat there and opened his books containing advanced knowledge as usual. However, he couldn’t comprehend a single word.

  What happened today replayed in his mind.

  Especially that female soldier called Gu Yan……

  When he first saw her alone in the office with Lu Ye, Lin Haoran knew there was a slight ripple in his heart.

  No matter how much he wanted to deny it, the impression she left lingered.

  The match at the shooting range and the dining hall scene etched that figure deeper into his mind.
