Chapter 68 Sister-in-law, the commander came to find you immediately!

“Our place is a little far away, but there’s a market nearby, so it’s convenient to go out. Sister-in-law, just let us know if you need anything. The commander isn’t home today, but he should be back soon.”

Yangyang looked at him with an adoring expression, her pride turning into affection in just a few seconds.

Shu Ying smiled and said, "Then I won't hold back."

Li Dongfang has dark skin and a pair of small tiger teeth when he smiles, making him look like a typical honest and simple northern man.

Song Zhaodi had never been to such a place before. She looked around curiously, but dared not make any big moves.

She was not very worldly, and Shu Ying had kindly given her a ride, so she didn't want to embarrass herself.

"By the way, Sister-in-law Duan, although Brother Duan's injuries were quite serious, when we went to the hospital yesterday, the doctor said he was out of danger. You can rest assured about that. His company will definitely provide him with the best medicine and do everything possible to treat him."

Li Dongfang clearly explained the things that his family was most worried about when his husband was injured.

Li Qingqing nodded vigorously: "That's good, that's good. As long as I'm alive, no matter what he's like, I'll live well with him."

They already have children, and all she wants is for her family to live a good life together.

Li Dongfang curled the corners of his lips, understanding perfectly.

“Sister-in-law, this is the family compound. Your two families are right next to each other, separated by only a wall. There are also small villas in front, but cadres’ families usually live in these separate courtyards, which offer better privacy.”

Li Dongfang stopped in front of a courtyard and turned to introduce it to Shu Ying.

Just as he finished speaking, Wang Zhande walked towards him.

When he suddenly saw Shu Ying, he thought he was seeing things. He wondered which family's girl had two braids. Despite her simple attire, she was still strikingly beautiful.

"Hello."

Shu Ying met his gaze, her smile as bright as the sunshine.

Wang Zhande's injured hand felt as if it had been numbed; it had been in great pain, but at this moment he felt nothing at all.

Hello.

Li Dongfang gave him a disdainful look: "This is Chief Xie's wife, and this is Brother Duan's wife."

After saying that, he introduced Song Zhaodi next to him: "This is Sister Xie's cousin. Both of you are going to be with your husbands in the army. You'll see each other often in the future, so don't forget to say hello. If other companies see you with your chubby faces, they'll say we're impolite."

Upon hearing Li Dongfang's introduction, Wang Zhande thought he had misheard.

"Sister-in-law Xie, is this Shuying?"

What exactly went wrong?

It's nothing like what he imagined!

He had thought Shu Ying was a delicate young lady with the airs of a capitalist, but seeing her today, she was completely different from what he remembered.

Although she has an extraordinary demeanor, both her friendliness and the tone of her voice make people feel very comfortable.

She was nothing like the spoiled young lady I had imagined. She didn't have that arrogant and domineering air about her; instead, she had a gentle and smiling face.

Behind Shu Ying, Yueyue and Yangyang also spoke up obediently, "Hello, Uncle."

The two little ones weren't shy at all. Although they weren't familiar with the place, they behaved with great poise and confidence, showing that Shu Ying had put some thought into their upbringing.

Li Dongfang looked at him as if he were a disabled person: "Yes, that's right."

Shu Ying smiled gently as well: "You did say my name."

She took a step forward, a warm smile on her face, and her voice was very soft and gentle.

"You must be Zhan De? My husband mentioned you when we got married. When I came here today, I heard that Zhi Yan wasn't at work. The security guard didn't know his whereabouts. Do you know where he went?"

Surely Xie Zhiyan couldn't have just returned from the front lines and then gone on another mission?

She knew that Xie Zhiyan's actions sometimes involved secrecy, but there should always be a timeframe for when he would return.

The two children arrived full of anticipation. Although they had already arrived at the workplace, they had not yet seen Xie Zhiyan.

Could it be that she brought her two children to live with him, only to end up as a left-behind woman?

Shu Ying knew that Wang Zhande had always been by Xie Zhiyan's side; calling him a follower wouldn't be an exaggeration. He knew almost everything Xie Zhiyan did.

In the past, he would have been at least a personal bodyguard. If you wanted to know where Xie Zhiyan had gone, asking him would have been the right thing to do.

When Wang Zhande saw Yangyang, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

His expression was incredibly interesting, even Li Dongfang looked at Yangyang with some confusion.

It was quite impolite of Wang Zhande to lose his composure like this in front of Shu Ying.

"What's wrong with you today? You're usually not this slow-witted. I think your brain is rusted since the commander isn't here. Did you sneak out in the rain last night? Did your brain get waterlogged?"

Shu Ying maintained a polite smile; she knew Wang Zhande.

This guy is cunning and gossipy, and he's only interested in protecting his beloved Chief Xie.

In fact, the two of them hadn't met much, but Shu Ying's guess was remarkably accurate.

Every time Xie Zhiyan mentions Shu Ying, Wang Zhande will indignantly complain.

"Commander, that eldest daughter of the Shu family has grown up in luxury, who knows what kind of delicate beauty she'll become? I bet she's willing to marry you for some promise, not for any other reason. She clearly has ulterior motives. You haven't had much experience with relationships, be careful not to get fooled by a woman until you're left with nothing!"

However, none of this mattered to Shu Ying. She smiled faintly, composed and elegant.

Everyone knows the principle of "courtesy first, then force," but Wang Zhande doesn't seem very smart; he's rather clumsy and impulsive.

It seems like this guy can be easily intimidated with just a few words; he needs to get the person under his control first.

Li Qingqing, carrying the child, walked closer to Shu Ying and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Yingying, why does this person not seem very bright?"

Shu Ying maintained her polite smile. Li Dongfang gave her a look, and Wang Zhande's slow-moving mind finally caught on.

"Sister-in-law? Commander, he went to see you! As soon as we returned from the front lines, he called home and heard that you had encountered some trouble at home, which affected you. He got leave from his superiors overnight and went back home. He should have arrived at your place almost a day ago by now."

What kind of situation is this?

Yueyue and Yangyang exchanged a glance. Had their father gone back to find them?

Shu Ying frowned: "He went back? And he even called us beforehand?"

She knew absolutely nothing.
