Chapter 43

The battalion commander was finally married. Now, they had a sister-in-law to welcome and naturally, they were curious.

All in the battalion were probably eager to know this news!

Meng Yunhan on this side was oblivious, she hadn’t yet arrived in the army base. The news of her arrival had already reached the ears of the whole battalion.

Meanwhile, Meng Yunhan was at home, eating eggs – salted eggs prepared by her mother-in-law.

She wondered if Yun Hao would come to fetch her?

Although she knew the address, lugging the suitcase to the army base was admittedly a hassle.

After all, there weren’t any taxis available at the moment.

“Commander, has sister-in-law arrived yet?” whispered a soldier standing next to Yun Hao. They’d been waiting all morning but there was no sign of her, which prompted the question.

The commander was his idol and he was thrilled to be in the presence of him today.

However, Yun Hao just stood there, staring straight ahead.

The train might have been delayed for some reason.

“Commander is that…is that our sister-in-law?” The soldier asked tentatively, noticing an elegant woman struggling with her suitcase approaching them.

Yet before their commander could respond, he saw that he was already in action.

“She’s here.”

Meng Yunhan heard his cold voice. She was accustomed to his indifference, and watched him take her suitcase.

“Hello, sister-in-law.”

“Hello.” Meng Yunhan greeted back with a smile.

“Commander, let me carry the suitcase for you!”

But Commander Yun didn’t spare the soldier a glance and continued lugging the suitcase towards the military vehicle.

The soldier trailed after them, his heart filled with disappointment, all he wanted was to help carry sister-in-law’s suitcase!

Yun Hao sat in the back with Meng Yunhan. He had so many things he wanted to tell Hanhan, however they had an additional passenger in the front.

“Ahao, you look tanned and thinner,” Meng Yunhan said. She knew that romantic words weren’t Yun Hao’s style, so she bypassed the topic to show her concern.

Yun Hao held Meng Yunhan’s hand tightly, ignoring the sweat in his palms from the heat, he refused to let go.

Meng Yunhan also felt the clamminess of their intertwined hands, leaning on his shoulder while Yun Hao intentionally relaxed his shoulders to make her more comfortable.

Closing her eyes, Meng Yunhan breathed in his scent, suddenly feeling a sense of peace.

Yun Hao knew Meng Yunhan was tired from the train ride, so he deliberately controlled his breathing to be more relaxing.

He missed her so much. Ever since his mother wrote about his wife coming for the summer vacation, he’d been anticipating it. That moment, when he received the telegram, he was finally at ease.

Not seeing her for a few months, his wife seemed even more beautiful. Her skin was glowing, her eyelashes longer like tiny brushes.

The soldier drove seriously, sneaking a glance at the ones sitting behind before remember to focus on the road again after being dismissed with a cold glance.

Reaching the base, Yun Hao reluctantly woke Meng Yunhan. A little confused, she asked, “Have we arrived? Where are we?”

Then she snapped back to reality in an instant.

“I fell asleep.” Resting her head for a moment, she’d unintentionally dozed off. Meng Yunhan was even more embarrassed. She wondered how long she had slept from the station to the base.

Meng Yunhan stepped out of the vehicle, being steadied by Yun Hao, feeling somewhat dazed.

“Let’s go!” Yun Hao said, carrying her suitcase and walking side by side with Meng Yunhan.

“Oh…..”

Meng Yunhan had barely walked a few steps when she could feel stares coming in from all around.

Of course, she noticed those assessing glances. But why were they so astonished?
