Chapter 1743: Above the Ball 4
Seeing Wang Xinsheng arriving together with Jiang Yun, Lu Shuai, General Xu and others, Feng Qingxue patted the back of Lu Jiang’s hand, reminding him to greet them, and she no longer focused on the dresses worn by Su Meixiang and the others.
Amidst the black, gray, blue, and green, the appearance of lian-shan skirts symbolized the first step women have taken in their pursuit of beauty.
Even though it bears significant political meaning, it is still worth celebrating.
Upon seeing Feng Qingxue, Wang Xinsheng and Jiang Yun, Lu Shuai, and the others expressed great joy, especially Wang Xinsheng, whose wrinkles relaxed as he smiled warmly. After the greetings, when Lu Shuai and General Xu were led away, he said to Feng Qingxue, "When did you arrive in the Capital? You haven’t even come by my place; your aunt is always thinking of you."
Feng Qingxue laughed, "Next time, I’ll visit you and Aunt next time I have a chance. I just got back from the South Sea, flew into the Capital, and thought I had a whole month. My father and Xibao are staying at Brother Jiang’s place, so I brought the kids along for a brief stay of a couple of days to see them. I’ll soon have to return to the Wucheng military base."
Hearing that the children were at his place, Jiang Yun was very pleased, "Aren’t you returning with Lu Jiang? A month is still a long time!"
When the situation isn’t tense, sometimes the arrangements for the military can be quite humane, allowing doctors in temporary positions a month to return to their original posts. It’s essentially giving them a good rest, though there are issues with long distances—not everyone has the chance to fly back.
Though there is a month, Feng Qingxue really can’t return to her post just before the month ends. She has to be mindful of appearances, especially since Lu Jiang is now constantly under everyone’s watchful eye.
Her stay in the Capital felt almost like stolen time.
Therefore, Feng Qingxue could only force herself to tell Jiang Yun, "Ajiang won’t be back for another ten or twenty days; I can’t wait for him."
