Chapter 1003 - He Was the Center of Attention, Receiving Everyone’s Admiration
Gu Mohan looked at his foolish sister, the corner of his lips raised. “Someone important is rising through the ranks.”
An’an’s heart palpitated. “Who… is it?”
Gu Mohan shrugged his shoulders. “Let’s just wait and watch the military news tomorrow morning at 8am. A new officer is being conferred, a ceremony will be held soon.”
…
Lu Yan stood on the step, not going down at all. He had both hands in his pockets, behaving as though there was nothing different, but there he had become… totally different.
Qianqian walked out of the police station. “Blood Eagle, look at Gu An’an, this is the woman you love. She’s already complained about you not having any power and status to protect her.”
Qianqian then stretched her arms out to hold Lu Yan’s muscular arm. “Blood Eagle, I’m the one you should choose. As long as you marry me, I’m able to give you everything–”
Before she could even finish her words, she could sense a piercing gaze on her hand.
Moreover, he hadn’t contacted her since last night’s incident.
An’an returned to her room, picking up her cell phone as she bit down on her lower lip. She dialed the familiar phone number after much hesitation.
The ringtone sounded once and the call was picked up. An’an’s eyes lit up. “Hello, Ah–”
“Hello, General Lu is currently in a meeting. May I know who this is? I’m General Lu’s secretary, I can pass on the message for you.” It was a sweet, pleasant voice on the other end of the call.
An’an clutched her cell phone tightly. It wasn’t him, but his secretary instead.
Now she couldn’t even reach him by phone.
This was his new secretary? Judging by that voice of hers, his new secretary must be really pretty.
General Chen Jin’s confidential secretary was a male, but his secretary was a pretty, young woman.
An’an didn’t speak, she just hung up the phone call.
She sat on the carpeted ground beside her bed and went in a daze. She huddled up, hugging herself as her lashes lowered in disappointment. Did he not want her anymore?
She hadn’t said those words on purpose that day in the police station. She had only wanted him to leave first.
She pouted her lips aggrievedly, burying her face in her knees.
…
Two weeks later, Lu Yan’s conferment ceremony had begun.
An’an alighted from the car, arriving in front of the gate. The place was surrounded by a huge crowd, she could see the group of socialites who had rushed over from the Capital. Everyone was looking inside through the gate.
In contrast, An’an stood in an unnoticeable corner. There weren’t many people there and it wasn’t as crowded.
She looked inside, the place was filled with soldiers in their camouflage uniform. The host started speaking, “Let’s invite General Lu on stage.”
Lu Yan was coming out.
The soldiers turned their heads around, looking in front respectfully.
“Wow, Master Yan is coming out!”
The crowd looked over too. An’an stood in the crowd, looking in the same direction as the crowd.
An imposing figure appeared from far away. He was clothed in full dress uniform, his shoulders embellished with three gold stars. First General. He wore a black leather belt around his trim waist. Lu Yan walked over slowly with steady footsteps.
When she saw him appear, An’an started tearing up. She had frequent dreams of him putting on his full dress uniform. He had far exceeded her expectations.
She slowly stretched out her arm, passing through the metal bar of the gate as she extended it outwards. The day finally arrived, he stood among the crowd, being the center of attention, receiving admiration of everyone, receiving the honor he deserved.
She smiled, huge drops of tears trickling down her cheeks so much that they blurred her vision.
She could hardly see him anymore.
