Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Want a Divorce

Sun Chan’s hair no longer carries the large braid typical of rural origins; now it’s cut into a ponytail, bangs swept up, revealing a smooth forehead and bright eyes. She wears a white shirt and gray pants, the standard uniform issued by her workplace. Despite its simplicity, the outfit accentuates her graceful appearance.

"Really?" Sun Chan said with a smile, "I actually feel I’ve gained a bit of weight."

"You’re not fat at all, you should eat more."

Sun Chan pressed her lips into a smile. Gu Junming looked at her rosy lips, coughed a few times, and glanced out the window.

Suddenly, Sun Chan remembered, "Didn’t they say we were going to have a gathering between our side and your troop? Why didn’t Commander Gu go?"

"Hmm, I have a mission."

Sun Chan recalled he had mentioned it earlier, and smiled apologetically.

From the side, Xiao Wu chuckled, "He’s no longer a commander. He’s now the Deputy Battalion Commander!"

Sun Chan quickly smiled and said, "That’s good news! Being Deputy Battalion Commander must be quite a big position, right?"

Xiao Wu turned the steering wheel, smiling but saying nothing.

Gu Junming said, "Not really that big. Everyone I came out with has basically moved up already; I’m the last one. My abilities aren’t very great actually."

Sun Chan quickly said, "How could that be! I believe Deputy Battalion Commander must have worked hard to earn that position. Next time, you’ll surely do even better. Honestly, sometimes moving up takes a bit of luck."

Gu Junming smiled at her, she was the first in his circle to genuinely feel happy about his promotion.

Even his grandfather felt his promotion was slow considering his background and age, with some complaints in his words.

Bai Chuan had meddled several times, though unable to stop his advancement. But he advised Wang Guihua to send him to a certain place for a clerical position, so he could take care of his brother Jun Tao.

Gu Zishan surprisingly didn’t oppose Wang Guihua and agreed. One phone call was all it took to have someone send the transfer order.

Gu Junming firmly opposed it, very disappointed, and argued with his father, saying if forced, he would switch careers. After hanging up angrily, Gu Zishan finally gave it up. Father and son hadn’t communicated for about ten days due to this matter.

"Deputy Battalion Commander, what are you thinking about?" Sun Chan noticed Gu Junming’s face didn’t look good and grew nervous.

"Nothing." Gu Junming suppressed the irritation inside, smiled, and said, "I was just thinking today’s mission might be tough. Might not be able to get out all day."

Sun Chan said, "Ah! Then you guys won’t have a place to eat?"

Xiao Wu casually said, "We’ll just eat some compressed biscuits, we’re used to it."

Sun Chan said nothing as the car stopped at the village entrance, she got out and kept thanking them.
