Chapter 69: Rejected Manuscript
Chen Bajin saw Gu Fuqiao looking puzzled and immediately understood that she probably didn’t know yet. "I guess Captain Yan wanted to surprise you, so he hasn’t told you yet. Your letter arrived yesterday noon. I collected it for you since you weren’t back, and in the afternoon, I gave it to Yan Camp Commander."
Gu Fuqiao nodded and said, "I really didn’t know, I’ll go check it right away." Although she was eighty to ninety percent sure her submission would be published, she wanted to know the result as soon as possible.
She grabbed her shopping basket and headed home. After searching every corner, she couldn’t find the letter. She took a break and remembered the three-month agreement she had with Yan Zhen Guo.
Back then, Yan Zhen Guo said he would give her three months, and if her work wasn’t published, they’d have a stern talk about it.
"Could it be that my work got published, but he hid the letter to keep me from knowing?" Gu Fuqiao thought about Yan Zhen Guo’s serious demeanor.
The more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and the more suspicious he appeared.
Since she couldn’t find it, Gu Fuqiao decided to drop it and wait for Yan Zhen Guo to come clean when he got back.
Chen Bajin noticed that Gu Fuqiao hadn’t come out for a long time, so he went to the door and called for her, "Haven’t you finished yet?"
"Still can’t find it, no idea where he put it." Gu Fuqiao picked up the shopping basket and headed out with Chen Bajin.
Chen Bajin was a master at grocery shopping, and her bargaining skills left Gu Fuqiao speechless.
