Chapter 573: Grandpa
Eventually, all of the new soldiers were afraid to interact with her.
In this life, this was the first time she heard someone call her that. Without the twisted implication from her previous life, she only felt happy.
“Thank you.”
“It is my honor to serve the madam commander!
“Madam Commander, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.”
“Okay, take care.”
After sending the orderly away, Zhong Nuannuan opened the large bag of things that Chi Yang sent over.
There were two servings of meat dishes, two servings of vegetables cooked with meat, two vegetable dishes, a bowl of soup, and a gigantic bowl of rice. Zhong Nuannuan was speechless, “…”
What kind of existence did her Big Brother Chi Yang slap on her?
Did he think he was fattening up the pig?
However, she did not want to waste the food, so she reluctantly finished the food.
After all, it was not made by her Big Brother Chi Yang—it was not delicious. Hence, she could only eat it reluctantly.
After her meal, Chi Yang still had not returned. Zhong Nuannuan was getting ready to wash the bedsheets after cleaning up the house.
She ran to the balcony laundry yard to fetch the laundry detergent only to realize that it was almost used up.
After putting the bedsheets into the was.h.i.+ng machine, Zhong Nuannuan went downstairs to buy some detergent.
There were only a few people that she knew in the entire military base. That was why Zhong Nuannuan had never expected to run into someone familiar there.
However, when she walked downstairs and was about to leave the building through the main door of her unit, she saw an old man walking toward her with a walking stick.
Behind him were two plain-clothed guards, and around the old man were six other bodyguards who walked alongside him discreetly.
Was that not Grandpa?
Why was Grandpa in Jiang District?
Although Chi Yang’s marriage report was approved by Leng Jinpeng and Qu Mingyi on paper, Chi Yang’s actual military rank was comparable to Leng Jinpeng’s. Therefore, she guessed that it should be the people in Emperor District who approved the military base’s application. Once Emperor District approved it, the old master would definitely know.
However…
In her previous life, she never recalled the old master coming over to Jiang District before she married Chi Yang. Was she wrong?
The first time she met the old master in that life was half a year after she and Chi Yang registered their marriage.
What Zhong Nuannuan did not know was that in her previous life, the old master had also come to Emperor District to visit his future granddaughter-in-law.
However, at that time, because Zhong Nuannuan had a tricky relations.h.i.+p with Chi Yang, Chi Yang was afraid that the old master’s appearance would make Zhong Nuannuan dislike Chi Yang even more. Therefore, he asked the old master to go back.
The old master was seventy-eight years old. He had traveled from Emperor District to Jiang District without any complaints, happily expecting to see his granddaughter-in-law. Yet, after staying for half a month, he did not get to see her at all. Eventually, he could only leave dejectedly.
However, in this life, Zhong Nuannuan was the only one who was reborn. Therefore, this time, the old master would not have to go through the same process ever again. He would not have to arrive in happiness but leave in disappointment.
From afar, the old master saw Zhong Nuannuan too.
At that moment, Zhong Nuannuan was still wearing her school uniform. She was covered in a white mid-length cotton jacket that Chi Yang had bought for her. Her long hair was tied into a cute bun on top of her head that was her permanent hairstyle. Her beauty was piercingly charming in her ordinary student getup. It was as though the moment she appeared downstairs, everyone’s eyes would subconsciously turn to her.
Zhong Nuannuan was used to it, so she did not think much of it.
As for the old master…
She did not know the old master in this lifetime yet. Thus, she did not initiate a conversation.
