Wife is Fierce, Don’t Mess With Her!

Chapter 190: Call Home

Actually, she wanted to tell the Chief Instructor first.

But after some thought, considering that she was directly under Chen Haoyang’s supervision, something might go wrong if she skipped her immediate superior to report directly to the Chief Instructor.

Although she felt panicked, she still knew what she should and shouldn’t do.

Gu Qingjiu contemplated whether or not the Chief Instructor would consent.

She felt that he would likely consent.

When they reached the Chief Instructor’s office, it wasn’t much of a surprise that Gu Qingjiu saw Huo Yingcheng there as well.

Huo Yingcheng had just left a moment ago when Gu Qingjiu was about to duel, and now he was seeing her again.

But at the moment, Gu Qingjiu had a flustered expression on her face, which was unlike her usual quiet demeanor. It made Huo Yingcheng feel a little astonished.

Seeing that she came with her instructor, he didn’t ask anything.

He Niancheng noticed it, too.

He saw Gu Qingjiu enter with her immediate instructor.

Not being her usual calm and quiet self, she seemed to restrain her emotions.

This was the first time he ever saw her like this.

Hence, without waiting for Chen Haoyang to enter and salute to him, He Niancheng coldly asked, “What’s wrong with her?”

Chen Haoyang paused in surprise, and Gu Qingjiu also raised her head to look at He Niancheng.

There was a pleading gaze in her eyes.

Chen Haoyang recounted what Gu Qingjiu told her earlier on.

After he had finished speaking, Huo Yingcheng’s mouth was wide open; it was so wide one could stuff an egg into it. “Qingjiu, you have such a dramatic story?”

She pursed her lips tightly. Because she had been biting her lips, it now appeared pale. With a gloomy look on her fair face, she said, “I didn’t wish for this either.”

A glint of surprise flickered across He Niancheng’s deep eyes.

Clearly, he hadn’t expected something like this either.

He straightened his body after Chen Haoyang finished reporting to him. “Just nice. Commander Huo and I are going out, let’s head out together.”

Seeing him give his consent, Gu Qingjiu finally managed a smile. “Thanks, Chief Instructor. Thanks, Instructor Chen.”

Instructor Chen nodded. “Then just go with the Chief Instructor. I’ll take care of the rest.”

Since the Chief Instructor had given his consent, he needn’t go through too much trouble.

“Mm!”

Chen Haoyang had to return to the event area, whereas Gu Qingjiu stayed.

He Niancheng packed some stuff, and after Chen Haoyang left, Huo Yingcheng couldn’t hold himself back from asking Gu Qingjiu. “Qingjiu, what happened to your family? Are your biological parents showing up to take you back with them?”

“Yes.”

Gu Qingjiu couldn’t reveal too much to them. After all, Huo Yingcheng and He Niancheng were outsiders who knew nothing about the situation.

“Oh…”

Huo Yingcheng had more questions to ask, but he then felt like he shouldn’t be asking too much.

Seeing that He Niancheng was almost done packing, he immediately went to the yard to prepare to drive out of the military zone.

When they got into the car, Gu Qingjiu felt uneasy.

She kept staring at the back of the front passenger seat; her eyes out of focus, her hands unconsciously clasping together. Even until she had scratched the back of her hands, she didn’t even feel any pain.

Seeing this through the rearview mirror, He Niancheng’s brows furrowed slightly.

By the time she had snapped out of her trace, Gu Qingjiu recalled something else.

Since she had left in a hurry, she wasn’t able to retrieve her phone.

Sitting in the car, she had no idea what the situation was like at home, and that made her feel tormented.

She asked the people who sat in the front, “Chief Instructor, Commander Huo, my phone… I left in a rush just now and didn’t retrieve my phone. Can I borrow your phone to call home?”
