Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Warm and Affectionate

At lunch, Sun Chan and I cooked some noodles, also made some for Guihua and Yang Liu. We sautéed some cabbage in the pot and added eggs—simple, but it tasted pretty good. We mixed in some homemade chili sauce, and it was delicious.

The four of us chatted as we ate, and Guihua, who loves to joke around, made the atmosphere lively.

Guihua glanced at the fruits, "Are they all sold out? When is Han Dong bringing you more?"

"We’ll just wait. If not, I’ll go get some myself." It’s still New Year, so I didn’t want to trouble Han Dong.

Just as we were talking about Han Dong, he walked in, and everyone laughed upon seeing him.

Han Dong brought in two boxes of oranges and a box of bananas, "These are the best. You sell them first. I’ll bring you some pineapples later; they should sell well."

"These are such valuable fruits; I’m afraid of losing money," Sun Chan said with a smile.

Pineapples are expensive, and ordinary folks might not want to buy them, but Han Dong waved it off, "You don’t get it. Some fruits are for the rich. If you have them, they’ll come to you. Trust me, you’ll be fine."

"Alright then, if you have lemons, bring me a few too."

"Okay." Han Dong had the fruits put down. Seeing everyone there and with noodles still in the pot, he quickly took off his coat.

"You’re eating? Perfect, I’m hungry. Give me a bowl."

Yang Liu felt a bit awkward seeing him, but after what happened last time, she had come to terms with it. I like you, but if you don’t like me, that’s fine. We can still be friends, so she greeted him with a smile.

Han Dong naturally didn’t mind, jokingly saying, "Haven’t seen you in days, why did you gain weight?"

Yang Liu blushed, "I might have been eating a lot recently."

"Happy heart, healthy weight. Haha." Han Dong glared at Guihua, "Get me some noodles. Am I invisible to you?"

"Too late! There’s none left for you," Guihua laughed.

"Who says! Brother, let me try your noodles." Han Dong shamelessly took Gu Junming’s bowl, but Sun Chan had baked some sweet potatoes, which were delicious. Gu Junming didn’t mind, eating sweet potatoes and chatting quietly with Sun Chan.

Han Dong kicked Gu Junming’s foot, "I don’t come by often, and I even bring fruits, yet you’re ignoring me?"

"Why are you acting like a woman, Gu Junming is about to be not right, let them say a few words, and you can’t stand it," Guihua said, giggling, "Do you perhaps like someone and have some thoughts?"

Han Dong laughed, "No, I just haven’t seen my brother and sister-in-law in a while and wanted to chat."

Guihua smirked but didn’t expose his feelings for Sun Chan, considering Yang Liu was still there. Joking about it wasn’t appropriate. Though no one spoke of it, Guihua had long noticed the love triangle.

Gu Junming said, "You’re not getting any younger after the New Year, work hard, find a partner to ease your parents’ minds."

"Don’t worry about me, brother. You should worry about yourself. I heard you arrested Zhao Feitian, and the Yang Family isn’t too happy."

Gu Junming frowned slightly. Guihua was unaware of the situation, so Sun Chan briefly explained, "They arrested a human trafficker who was a relative of the Yang Family."

This relative was from the family Han Dong had been set up with. Although he wasn’t interested in Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen’s family had a good relationship with Han Dong’s family, so they mentioned it to Han Jinshan.

Han Dong knew he had to bring it up, "That eldest daughter of the Yang family spoke poorly of you to her dad; be careful. Yang Xiong is fine, but his son isn’t great, and his reputation hasn’t been good over the years."

Yang Yun’s arrogance was cultivated by her father. Offending Yang Yun would cause trouble later, but that’s what Han Jinshan said. Han Dong wasn’t interested in it, but knowing someone might harm his brother, he had to say something.

"Will the Yang family retaliate?" Sun Chan was very worried.

Gu Junming said, "Everything I do is aboveboard and can withstand scrutiny from above. As for Yang Yun... She might find me disagreeable, but she wouldn’t dare interfere with military operations. I’m not afraid."

Sun Chan bit her lip, "I’m just worried she’ll scheme against you like Bai Chuan."

Gu Junming sneered, "I’m not that easily controlled. Don’t worry."

Han Dong said, "I won’t meddle in your affairs, but it’s never wrong to be cautious. There are plenty of petty people out there."

"Alright, I got it." Gu Junming smiled, realizing Han Dong was maturing quite a bit over the year.

Everyone then changed the subject to other topics.

Yang Liu ate her noodles, occasionally glancing at Han Dong, feeling a little lost seeing him handsome and chatty, but she was better than before. I’ll just like him silently. Until you marry, I’ll quietly like you.

Han Dong finished eating and left.

Yang Liu and Guihua also went off to get busy.

Gu Junming helped Sun Chan clean up the dishes, "Focus on your studies. I’m returning to the unit tomorrow. Call me if you need anything. I’ll come see you on the weekends. Don’t skip meals." noveldrama

Sun Chan smiled and nodded, "Got it. I’m not a kid anymore."

"Then I won’t nag, but if you don’t tell me, I won’t be happy."

No matter how long they spent together, they never felt bored. Even when not saying a word, it felt comfortable.

In the afternoon, Yan Kai came by. Seeing them, he was stunned. He just came to buy some fruit but unexpectedly ran into them, so they exchanged a few pleasantries.

"I didn’t know you’d be selling fruits here. Since I’m an old customer, shouldn’t I get a discount?"

"Look at that, take them; they’re not anything precious." Sun Chan picked out a few big red apples and some oranges for Yan Kai. She didn’t weigh them, indicating she wasn’t going to charge him.

Yan Kai didn’t hold back, took them, and then said to Gu Junming, "Did you hear about that Zhao Feitian thing?"

"Yes. Apparently, he refuses to admit anything, but some leads were found. The Yang family seems unwilling to save him, so it looks like he’ll be convicted," Gu Junming said.

"Someone like that should’ve been caught long ago. But since we went to the Yang family to arrest him, won’t this be bad for the Yang family? If Yang Xiong has any objections..."

Gu Junming said, "We’re doing our duty. We can’t avoid arresting someone just because we’re afraid of offending others." After hesitating a moment, Gu Junming shared what Han Dong said.
