Chapter 56 - Do You Have a Boyfriend
Lu Ye was twenty-four years old, hot-blooded and energetic, with the girl he liked by his side, and heard what was happening.
This mood, this…
Gu Yan didn’t feel any better, either.
Her ears were so red that they were about to bleed.
If she was the only person who was eavesdropping then it would be fine, but Lu Ye just had to be beside her.
That was so awkward.
Gu Yan didn’t even dare to look at Lu Ye’s face right now.
If they continued to eavesdrop, then she would explode!
Gu Yan immediately grabbed Lu Ye’s hand and dragged him outside and ran. She ran so fast that she forgot to take the medicinal herbs.
The two of them ran out of the guest hotel like a puff of smoke and finally stopped until they reached a police station.
Gu Yan didn’t even dare to turn around to look at Lu Ye. She said, “wait here for a second.”
Gu Ye didn’t care if Lu Ye answered and walked inside the police station to report Zhang Lan and Ironsmith Wang to the comrade on duty.
The two of them were not a married couple, yet they had the balls to brazenly do something so bawdy.
They wouldn’t go to jail, but if words get out, Zhan Lan wouldn’t be able to fend for herself for a long time.
After a team of police officers ran to the guest hotel, Gu Yan finally breathed out in relief.
She suddenly felt something was off.
…Where the heck was Lu Ye?!
How come he hadn’t said anything for a while!
“Looking for me?” Lu Ye’s voice was calm, so calm that it was impossible to detect his emotions.
Thankfully, Gu Yan was no longer as embarrassed as she was after she did a report. She said, “I will tell you everything about what happened today.”
Gu Yan figured out, there shouldn’t be any secrets between lovers.
Even though they weren’t officially dating as of yet, Gu Yan still didn’t want to hide anything from Lu Ye.
“That woman is my foster mother. She never wanted me to join the military, she even wanted her daughter to take my position. After I joined the military, she took the liberty to arrange a marriage for me, which was the bearded man you saw. He’s forty or fifty years old and has two dead wives. In terms of his morals, you witnessed what happened earlier. The reason why they came here today is to get me out of the military and go home. I managed to avoid them earlier today, but they’re still planning on catching me at the military tomorrow.”
“Oh.” Lu Ye uttered one word.
Gu Yan’s heart felt a little cold and unsteady. The more she looked at Lu Ye’s bland expression, the more her heart sank.
But she was still defiant. She kept her head high and continued, “perhaps you wouldn’t understand why I’m doing this, but if they’re not the ones corrupting public morals, I wouldn’t have the chance to report them. I’m going to be the master of my own life no matter what. I’m going to be a military doctor in the future, so there’s no way in hell I’m going back with them!”
Gu Yan always wanted Lu Ye to know these words in her previous life.
So then he would know her perseverance, know her persistence, and know her hardships.
Too bad she never got the chance to tell him this. Until his death. Until her death.
Now, she finally told him in this life. But they only met for a short time, so short that Lu Ye hadn’t fallen in love with her yet, so short that he hadn’t gotten to know her yet.
Gu Ye felt relieved after she said all those, but her heart still sank lower and lower.
She didn’t regret telling him all those things, however, she still felt a little insecure.
Right then, Lu Ye slowly opened his mouth, “Gu Yan.”
“Mhm?”
“Are you single right now?”
Gu Yan’s pretty eyes froze for a second. She was a little confused.
How did their conversation topic change so fast?
There was a rare adorkable expression on her face. Lu Ye put one hand in his pocket and used his other hand to touch the tip of her nose. There was a slight smile on his lips.
“Was that unclear? Fine, let me put it another way.” Lu Ye straightened his military uniform and put away his careless demeanor, then said seriously, “comrade Gu Yan, if I may ask, do you have a boyfriend?”
