Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Don’t Want to Be the Chief’s Wife Anymore?

Gu Junming said to Sun Chan, "Aunt Ding is our village head. My nephew accidentally fell into the river before, and it was Su Miao who helped save his life."

"That’s right," Qiuyue laughed, "Our two families are meant to be connected. My daughter Su Miao has always been thinking about her Brother Junming! Who knew she would meet him as soon as she came."

This was said with skill, if Gu Junming was interested, it was for the best, if not, it could just be taken as a joke, purely a probing move.

Su Miao quickly turned around and pulled her mother, playfully scolding, "Mom! What are you talking about? When did I ever say that? If Brother hears it, he’ll think I’m indecent. If you keep talking, I’ll leave!" After saying that, she stomped her foot and was ready to leave.

Ding Qiuyue hurriedly stopped her, "We’re all from the same village, what’s the big deal? Right, Gu Junming?"

Su Miao gave Gu Junming a shy glance, expecting some kind of reaction from him upon hearing this. But his expression remained calm, not even glancing at her, which made her somewhat disappointed.

Su Miao’s father is the village head of Xiangyang Village, and their family’s conditions are quite good in the village. His wife, Ding Qiuyue, naturally held her head high, wanting to find someone good for her daughter. In the beginning, she didn’t pay attention to Gu Junming in the village, thinking he was a brat unattended by his parents, raised by the Wang Family, and didn’t even look at him directly.

However, later on, he was suddenly taken back to the city by his father, and only then did they realize his father was a city official! Later, they heard he joined the army and was promoted, so these years they always found excuses to show up in front of the Wang Family people. Who knew they’d run into him today.

Ding Qiuyue was daydreaming when suddenly Gu Junming laughed and said, "Aunt, don’t joke around, my partner is right beside me. What if she gets mad at me and ignores me when we go back?"

Ding Qiuyue was stunned, originally thinking Sun Chan was just passing by, who would have thought she was actually with him?

Su Miao looked upset, "She’s your partner?"

Gu Junming held Sun Chan’s hand, "Yes, I’m dating, planning to get engaged, and I came back to show my parents."

Su Miao forced a bitter smile, "Brother Gu is getting engaged? This girl... she’s really pretty."

I was the first to notice him! Over the years, I’ve always helped your family. I look prettier than this girl, so why choose her? Ding Qiuyue was also quite unhappy, in the village, everyone knew her daughter had her eyes on Gu Junming, that’s why she’s still not engaged at twenty. Now, he quietly found a partner, isn’t that a slap in the face?

Gu Junming had no interest in guessing what these two were thinking, with a couple of simple words he excused himself, holding Sun Chan’s hand as they walked past them. Sun Chan felt the gaze from behind, like two sharp swords, making her uncomfortable, but she ignored it, taking a few steps with Gu Junming before letting go of his hand.

"What’s wrong, are you jealous?"

"Hmm," Sun Chan smiled faintly, "A Bai Fanglan in the city and a Su Miao in the village, you really are popular."

Gu Junming chuckled, "Do you really think they like me? If I took off this military uniform, I’d probably be nothing. But you’re different, even if I returned to toiling in the fields, you would surely stay with me. Right?"

Sun Chan saw his gentle smile, and her heart twitched gently. In her past life, she never felt this way, is this what it’s like to truly like someone? Her cheeks blushed, as she nodded slightly.

The two of them, lost in their own world, made Su Miao and Ding Qiuyue behind them look like their eyes were shooting sparks.

Sun Chan had just reached the main room in the courtyard when the door opened, and a woman in her thirties came out. She looked ordinary but was obviously a kind person. She held a basin full of clothes, wearing simple clothes. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
