Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

As for what Sun Fan said, Gu Lingling didn’t want to explain.

After all, the mission Yang Yunhai was on right now was secret. If She explained at this moment and accidentally exposed Yang Yunhai and something happened, what would She do then?

But with Sun Fan targeting She over and over like this, if She didn’t teach her a lesson, Gu Lingling felt She’d be letting herself down.

Seeing that Gu Lingling ignored her, Sun Fan felt like she’d punched a ball of cotton.

Vixen.

Thinks she’s pretty, goes around picking up men wherever she goes—unbelievable.

Sun Fan cursed inwardly.

Tong Sha, however, casually said, ”I heard Gu Lingling’s husband is in the military. If he finds out, what do you think will happen? Will Lingling have to go to a military court?”

”Xiao Fan, did you really see it clearly?” Tong Sha looked at Gu Lingling with concern. ”Lingling just got married. This has to be a misunderstanding. You must have been seeing things and didn’t look properly.”

”I definitely saw it clearly.” Sun Fan said firmly.

Then, as if something occurred to her, her eyes rolled.

Tong Sha glanced at her, then lowered her head and laughed softly.

Gu Lingling, though, didn’t know any of this. Although guests kept arriving one after another and their workload was steadily increasing,

She hadn’t seen Yang Yunhai again all day, nor did She feel his gaze on her.

Makes sense—She was this busy; he’d be even more so.

She’d originally thought She wouldn’t see him for a long time, but hadn’t expected the two of them to run into each other by accident because they were in charge of the same thing.

That couldn’t help but remind Gu Lingling of something She’d heard back on base one year.

The story was called ”The Couple’s Tree.”

It was about a pair of soldier spouses in the early years after the founding of the country, who were sent out on missions for the sake of national construction. Because of confidentiality, neither told the other, and as a result, out on the vast Gobi Desert, the two of them, on the same mission, happened to meet under a tree.

Only then did they realize they were actually assigned to the same mission.

And that tree where they reunited later came to be called the ”Couple’s Tree.”

As for that husband and wife, they are now people who have made truly outstanding contributions to the country.

Back when Gu Lingling first heard this story, She’d been deeply moved.

Maybe this was the unique charm of being a soldier.

She never imagined that something similar would actually happen to her and Yang Yunhai.

She’d thought that since he came last night, he probably wouldn’t come again tonight, but hadn’t expected that just after She showered and lay down, She’d hear the sound of the door opening.

Then She saw a certain someone walk in holding a room key card.

”How do you have the key card to my room?” Gu Lingling asked him.

Yang Yunhai tapped her forehead and said, ”Silly girl.”

Then he very naturally went off to take a shower.

So familiar with the place.

That bastard!

He actually dared to look down on her IQ!

”Aren’t you in charge of security this time? How do you have so much free time?” Gu Lingling asked while helping him towel his hair dry.

She’d only been here two nights, and he’d already come over both nights.

”Don’t talk. Let me sleep for a bit.” Yang Yunhai leaned against her chest and closed his eyes.

They’d indulged themselves a little last night, and today he’d been so busy his feet barely touched the ground. They’d arranged a place for him to rest, but without her scent, he just couldn’t fall asleep.

So he grabbed a spare key card and snuck in.

”Go to sleep.” Gu Lingling kissed his lips and pulled a blanket over him. ”I’ll finish drying your hair.”

When She looked at him again, She realized he was already asleep.
