Chapter 809: Chapter 809: The Prettiest One is Your Sister-in-Law

"No need," An Hao gently declined her kind offer, "These things are not a big problem for me. Ms. Cheng, you should stay with the group! Your health isn’t great, and when I was coming, Cheng Yue even asked me to take extra care of you! How can I let you tire yourself out in this scorching heat with me!"

"It’s alright, An Hao..."

"Of course not! Ms. Cheng! I can’t let you wear yourself out. Let’s settle it this way then!"

Yan Ye was walking ahead and when he turned back to see Cheng Yue and An Hao whispering and chatting, he retraced his steps, listened, and immediately said, "Ms. Cheng, I can take care of this! I can escort An Hao to the base."

Seeing Yan Ye had spoken up, Cheng Yu felt it inappropriate to insist any further. Hence, she smiled and said, "Alright then!"

Just as they had reached a decision, An Hao heard someone calling her from behind, "Are you Sister-in-law An Hao?"

An Hao turned around to see an unfamiliar warrior standing in front of her, in a crisp military uniform, tentatively asking.

"Yes. Did Qin Jian send you?"

The warrior immediately stood at attention and saluted her crisply, "Sister-in-law, hello! My name is Xiaozhou. Indeed, the Chief of Staff sent me. He’s out leading the troops in field training and couldn’t come personally, so he had me come to pick you up. But because it’s my first time meeting Sister-in-law, I took some effort to find you, thus I am a bit late. Sister-in-law, you won’t be upset with me, right?"

"How could I be upset with you? But how did you know I’m your Chief of Staff’s wife?" An Hao was a bit curious.

The warrior laughed, revealing bright white teeth, appearing very simple and adorable, "When I came, I asked the Chief of Staff which one was Sister-in-law? The Chief of Staff told me to just plunge into the crowd, pick the most beautiful woman, the one who catches the eye immediately, and that would certainly be Sister-in-law without a doubt!"

"Ah? He told you that? He’s unreliable!" An Hao said with her lips, but her heart blossomed with joy; she was so highly regarded in his eyes!

"I think the Chief of Staff is absolutely right! Sister-in-law, you indeed are the prettiest among all the people here," the warrior said, his already dark face blushing a shade redder.

"Thank you!" An Hao also smiled, somewhat embarrassed. Qin Jian, that guy, was actually showing off to his soldier like that, without fear of Xiaozhou laughing at her.

"An Hao, you really married a good husband! He knows how to appreciate you!" Cheng Yu said with a light smile, a faint trace of sadness flickering in her eyes.

Despite discomfort in her heart, she uttered words that were insincere.

"That’s why, Ms. Cheng, you should marry a good man when you see one!" An Hao said with a smile, glancing at Yan Ye, "Right, Professor Yan?"

Yan Ye smiled, his expression subtle, "An Hao, you asked the wrong person. Anyway, now that someone’s here to pick you up, I feel relieved. Rest up at the base for a couple of days, and after I finish my communications here, you can come over."

"Alright then," An Hao agreed, "I’ll go with Xiaozhou now. See you later, teachers."

An Hao got into Xiaozhou’s car, and they sped towards the base.

With the breeze blowing as they drove, An Hao’s mood lifted too; she could finally spend some alone time with Qin Jian.

The car entered the military district compound, passed through the training area, a small grove, the political building area, and then into the family quarters.

This time Qin Jian had arranged everything in advance, so there was no need to squeeze into the barracks with him; this time they could move straight into the family building.
