Chapter 371: Chapter 397 A Bit Embarrassed

Wang Hu never dreamed she would come here to find him, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

Yao DianDian said, "I can’t bear to part with you, and I want to pursue you. I want to marry you."

Wang Hu’s face turned purple, "Don’t say that..." His heart was racing, his palms were sweaty, and he didn’t even know what kind of feelings he was experiencing at the moment. He had always been afraid to face his feelings for her, thinking that he just didn’t know.

When he got divorced, he told himself he would live quietly for the rest of his life, not looking for anyone else. Yet, the image of this girl kept surfacing in his mind. Back then, she had forcefully knocked him over, confessed her feelings, and even kissed him.

He knew this was wrong, but...

Wang Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, there’s no need to talk about this anymore. I have things to do, so I’m leaving. You go about your business."

"Who said you could leave!" Yao DianDian stopped him, smirking as she spoke, "Are you mad because I’m straight-talking? I just like you. Now that you’re divorced, you’re a free man, and I can pursue you."

Wang Hu sighed, "You’re a good girl, why would you want someone like me who’s divorced?"

"I like you, you’re smart, educated, and refined, which is the type of soldier I really like," Yao DianDian replied candidly, "I just like you. Before, when you were married, I didn’t dare approach you, but now that you’re divorced, can’t I get close to you? I don’t want to give up on my chance for happiness."

"Even if I’m divorced, we still can’t be together!" Wang Hu looked at her anxiously, "Do you remember why I came back early when I was studying in Beijing? It’s because my wife misunderstood us, so we absolutely can’t be together!"

Yao DianDian’s beautiful eyes looked at him intently, "You mean if we’re together, your ex-wife would cause a scene at your unit, right? Your reputation would be affected, and you wouldn’t have any chance for promotion in the future."

Wang Hu frowned, saying nothing. Her words were truly sharp.

Yao DianDian said, "So you’re the kind of person who would suppress your own feelings just to avoid rumors? You clearly care about me, but because you’re afraid of nasty gossip and so-called reputation, you’re going to abandon me?"

"I’m just a coward, a self-centered bastard, so stop thinking about me. You can find someone much better."

Yao DianDian sighed, "Why belittle yourself? You’re right; I have good qualities and looks. It’s easy for me to find someone suitable to marry. But Wang Hu, your previous marriage was also suitable, wasn’t it? Were you happy? I just want to love someone properly and try hard to love once, even if it fails, I have no regrets."

Wang Hu was stunned, he had never met someone with such fiery passion before! She could openly declare her love and boldly like him without reservation.

Yao DianDian said, "Alright, I’m here now. You can pretend I don’t exist, but I’m determined to try once. If you truly don’t like me and don’t want to be with me, that’s your freedom. I’ll stay until you get married. Until then, I’ll keep liking you. I have to go, see you. Instructor Wang." She finished speaking and walked past Wang Hu.

Wang Hu stood in place, watching her back, unsure of what to do for a moment.

Yao DianDian worked at Wang Hu’s unit. She was capable and had a good background, quickly becoming the center of attention in the unit. Many soldiers showed strong interest in her.

It seemed as if Yao DianDian and Wang Hu never had that conversation, as they became just ordinary colleagues. Seeing her chatting and laughing with colleagues made Wang Hu feel at a loss. He was naturally not quick-witted, and now he was even more wooden, hardly speaking a few words throughout the day.
