Chapter 609
"Comrade, maybe you should just go back for now. It’s still early, and it’s safe to walk back. If it gets late and the sun goes down, it won’t be safe for you to be out here alone. I know Captain He quite well. If he doesn’t say anything, he certainly won’t come out to fetch you, and despite knowing you’re his sister, I can’t just let you in, can I? It’s distressing to see you waiting here like this." The guard encouraged He Zhilan to leave.
"If he’s really that heartless, then let me wait here!" He Zhilan bit her lip and shook her head, "You get on with your business. I won’t disturb you, and have no intention of causing any trouble. As a family member of a soldier, I won’t insist on entering. I will be just fine waiting here."
"Then as you please." The guard felt helpless and stopped engaging He Zhilan further.
Inside the army base, He Teng sighed slightly when he heard the busy signal on the phone. Lan Li, who was nearby, put his ledger down and asked, "Since she’s already at the gate of the base, why don’t you just let her in?"
"If we let her in this time, she’ll keep using this tactic," He Teng shook his head, "Let’s not worry about her. She’s not a child and continues to disobey. Let’s get back to our discussion."
"I can tell that even though you two are divorced now, He Zhilan’s heart is still with you. She wants to reconcile with you. That’s a good thing, why deprive her full rejection?"
Lan Li asked further, but He Teng, who was immersed in his job, clearly didn’t intend to answer him. He started talking only about work matters.
Seeing that Lan Li couldn’t persuade him, he opened his ledger and continued discussing work matters with He Teng. The two continued their earlier discussion, discussing the special training they were preparing for the near future.
