Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Everyone is Here

"Where? I’ve gained weight recently." Bai Fanglan said, then shyly glanced at Wang Hu beside her. When someone compliments your partner, do you really not feel anything?

Who would have guessed Wang Hu didn’t notice her look and was just engrossed in shaking hands and talking with Gu Zishan? Bai Fanglan felt slightly suffocated as she wondered if it was lack of sentiment or simply disinterest in her!

But after all this time, she was used to it, and it’d be hard to say anything in front of others, so she just smiled and greeted Wang Guihua.

Wang Guihua was so astute, there was no way she’d miss it, but she just pretended not to know and let the two sit down, "Wang Hu hasn’t come over in a while, has he? Today we should make sure to have a good meal together."

Wang Hu laughed, "I’ll be leaving soon, just wanted to chat a bit with Gu Junming."

"He’ll be here shortly. I heard he’s bringing someone special," Wang Guihua chuckled.

Zhao Hong and Wang Dabao suddenly felt awkward. There’s clearly something big going on today, and it seems they didn’t plan on having them stay for dinner?

Wang Dabao glared at Zhao Hong, thinking, Look at the mess you got us into! How are things now?

Zhao Hong was helpless: How was I supposed to know today would turn out this way?

Just as they were pondering, someone else came in from outside, it was Yan Kai with Yang Hongying.

Gu Dongfang stood up, "Wow, what a coincidence, how did you get here?" He’s been friends with Mr. Yan for many years, so he was quite excited to see his friend’s child.

"Your reaction is making me feel unwelcome," Yan Kai teased.

"No way! You’re giving me... quite a surprise!" Gu Dongfang went over and patted him on the shoulder.

Wang Hu greeted Yan Kai and shook hands, the two were rivals now, knowing each other’s intentions but not laying them bare. Gu Juntao went to chat with Yang Hongying.

He whispered, "Calling reinforcements?"

Yang Hongying blushed slightly, "I was afraid it would get ugly."

"I’ve got you." Gu Juntao firmly held her hand, "We’ll definitely make it work."

But Yang Hongying jerked back as if shocked, taking several steps back.

This is the Gu Family home! What if others see?

Gu Juntao naturally understood her concerns and wasn’t angry, he just released her with a smile.

Though Yang Guihua didn’t notice, Wang Hu saw immediately and furrowed his brow slightly, thinking, This isn’t good.

Yang Hongying is a widow, there must be some issue between her and Gu Juntao.

He usually doesn’t meddle in such affairs, planning to leave early.

Bai Fanglan saw Yan Kai over there and was surprised, her grandpa had always wanted to draw the Yan Family closer, but they were impossible to invite! She turned to Gu Zishan and laughed, "Was this prominent guest invited by Uncle Gu?" noveldrama

Yan Kai said nothing; he, like his father, despised the Bai Family’s way.

Gu Zishan smiled, "No, I really didn’t expect it! But since he’s here, he’s a guest. Please, sit."

Wang Dabao was in a gloomy mood, this was a disaster, the things he wanted to say wouldn’t be said, pulling Zhao Hong, "Let’s go. Let’s head back first, with so many guests here today, they probably won’t have time for us."

Zhao Hong didn’t respond, and Wang Dabao, very annoyed, turned to see Zhao Hong intently staring at Yan Kai, as if dreaming of finding such a handsome man in the world.

Dressed in a military uniform with perfect stature and features, she had thought such handsomeness could only be seen on TV!

Wang Dabao was furious, stomping hard on her foot. This wretch! How could I divorce Guihua for her, and yet she’s openly ogling another man!

Yan Kai naturally wasn’t aware and did not look their way.

Zhao Hong, finally coming to her senses after being stomped, whispered, "Let’s go, let’s head back."

Anyway, they familiarized themselves with the place today, so next time they’ll just come straight here. They were about to say goodbye, but Wang Guihua and her husband were chatting with Yan Kai, Wang Hu and Gu Dongfang were engrossed in conversation, and Yang Hongying sat cautiously on the side, troubled, not really in the mood to look at the Gu Family’s guests.

Wang Dabao, although a lecher, was irritated enough at the moment to not notice the beautiful woman.

Gu Juntao brought a cup of hot water for Yang Hongying and placed it beside her. Yang Hongying bit her lip and stayed silent, not looking at him.

Zhao Hong braced herself to speak, but before she could, the final pair of guests came in — it was Gu Junming accompanied by Sun Chan.

The moment he entered, the room’s atmosphere shifted.

Though Yan Kai and Wang Hu would be reluctant to admit it, Gu Junming exuded an undeniable dominance. Neither of them could achieve this aura.

Sun Chan nervously bit her lip, but Gu Junming gripped her hand tightly, refusing to let go.

Gu Juntao saw the two of them and moved behind Yang Hongying, who shook her head, pointed at Wang Guihua, and went over to Yan Kai.

Gu Juntao didn’t have Gu Junming’s courage, so he had to let it go for now.

Gu Junming had gone to see Sun Chan early, Sun Chan was really anxious, not sleeping well at night, she got up early, changed into several outfits, and did her hair multiple times.

Guihua smiled, "Just wear a ponytail, my red coat would look great on you. And I’ve also prepared the leather shoes for you."

"But isn’t this too expensive? I can just wear my own jacket," Sun Chan said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"What’s the big deal? Whoever I like gets my stuff; what kind of relationship do we have? You accompanied me through my toughest times, so naturally I think of you first when there’s something good. Don’t be so formal with me, just take it! Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to live with you."

Finally, Sun Chan thanked her and put it on. A red coat with a white sweater underneath, its large collar flipped out, black trousers, and black leather shoes, looking extremely fresh and beautiful.

Guihua also handed her a lipstick and face cream, encouraging her to doll up.

When Gu Junming arrived, seeing Sun Chan cutely standing at the doorway, smiling at him, he was stunned.

The little girl in front of him had skin as fair as snow, with big, bright eyes, so strikingly beautiful, what virtue or capability did he possess to have such a beautiful girlfriend? He felt incredibly lucky and emotional.

Sun Chan shyly asked, "Does it look bad?"

"No, it looks lovely." Gu Junming turned and said, "Let’s go, I drove here, we’ll eat on the way."

Sun Chan didn’t think much about it, she followed Gu Junming out. She felt something strange, why was Gu Junming saying so little today?
