Chapter 1459 - 1460: Sister-in-law Is So Nice

Dinner was at Wang Shuxia’s house.

Wang Shuxia specifically called Liu Yating and invited her over for dinner.

They had hotpot in the evening. Yang Yunhai brought over a hotpot stove from his workplace cafeteria and went out to get half a lamb leg in the afternoon. Gu Lingling simmered it, and by dinner time, the rich white broth looked very tempting.

Since it was already early winter, fresh vegetables weren’t particularly plentiful, but the hotpot base Gu Lingling made was so delicious that even plain cabbage, radishes, and sweet potatoes tasted great.

Even Liu Jianping called the meal satisfying.

After dinner, the couple strolled back slowly from the Liu Family, with Gu Lingling being led by Yang Yunhai’s hand the entire way.

They encountered some young warriors who saw them holding hands and blushed as they greeted Yang Yunhai.

"All because of you." Gu Lingling blushed and glared at Yang Yunhai.

Though she told him not to hold hands, he insisted.

"Holding my wife’s hand isn’t against the law," Yang Yunhai said with a smile.

Ever since the Sea City trip, they hadn’t seen each other for many days, and upon reuniting, the little ones at her brother-in-law’s house fought him for his wife. Then Liu Yaxin appeared, leaving him without a moment to be affectionate with his wife.

"Do it when we get back," Gu Lingling said, "it’s embarrassing for your soldiers to see."

"Then I’ll tell them not to come tomorrow." Yang Yunhai sneered.

These cheeky rascals dared think he didn’t know they came at night just to catch a glimpse of his wife.

Normally, when they saw someone who resembled him from afar, they’d scurry away in fear, right?

Unlike today, when they approached.

"Hello, Captain. Hello, sister-in-law."

Just as he was thinking, two more ran up to salute him, but their eyes kept darting to Gu Lingling. "Sister-in-law is so beautiful."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Yunhai kicked him.

"Second Platoon Leader Wang Chengzhu, take your platoon and run thirty laps around the training field," Yang Yunhai said to the Second Platoon Leader he’d kicked.

What?

"Captain, our platoon?" Wang Chengzhu was a bit shocked. "For...for what?"

"Thirty-five laps," Yang Yunhai continued.

What?

Wang Chengzhu pouted in defeat and covered his mouth.

Why?

Just because he greeted the sister-in-law and praised her beauty, their platoon had to suffer.

Whine, Captain is so mean.

If only he were the only one punished, it’d be okay, but he dragged the whole platoon into it. Now how could he face those stinky brats?

Gu Lingling, "..."

She thought they were just passing by, not that they came specifically to see her.

She couldn’t help but blush a little.

Seeing Yang Yunhai was about to punish an entire platoon, Gu Lingling quietly tugged on Yang Yunhai’s sleeve, "Yunhai."

Yang Yunhai saw her shy, rosy cheeks, knowing she was embarrassed, and his gaze softened. He said to Wang Chengzhu, "You run forty laps and supervise from the side."

Isn’t this...not punishing the platoon anymore?

"Sister-in-law, you’re the best." Wang Chengzhu gratefully saluted Gu Lingling, "Thank you, sister-in-law. Thank you so much."

He said as he ran.

"These cheeky brats." Yang Yunhai laughed in exasperation.

Why didn’t they thank him?

But it was indeed thanks to Gu Lingling’s silent plea that he decided not to punish them.
