Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Heartbreak

Sun Chan turned her back to their direction, even though she didn’t want to listen, she occasionally caught some of their conversation.

The woman said to Gu Juntao, "This is the last time we meet, and afterwards we shouldn’t meet again."

"What are you talking about?" Gu Juntao set her chopsticks down with a cheerful smile, saying, "Don’t overthink it, I’ve said it. No matter what the problem is, the two of us will face it together."

The woman glanced at Gu Juntao, then pressed her lips together and said, "Stop joking around. We are completely unsuitable for each other, you should know this; you have a promising future, I’m older than you... and I’m a widow."

Her husband was also a soldier before, but later he died during a mission, leaving her widowed. They met through work, and their feelings quickly warmed, leading them to be together.

Gu Juntao remained silent, his expression very serious.

He knew what kind of people his parents were, especially his mother, who was keen for him to find someone who could benefit his career.

The woman saw the difficult expression on Gu Juntao’s face and said, "You’ve helped me a lot before. Even if you break up with me directly, I won’t blame you, rest assured. I won’t make a fuss, I know in my heart I’m unworthy of you..." Her voice was tinged with a sob as she finished speaking.

"Don’t say things like that, you’re such a wonderful person, I know better than anyone. Yang Hongying, listen to me, in this life, I will only marry you. If I can’t marry you, I’d rather remain single forever." His words were loud enough that everyone in the restaurant heard, and some couldn’t help but laugh.

Yang Hongying was very anxious, holding onto his arm: "Stop it!"

Gu Juntao ignored her and grabbed her hand: "Listen to me, from the very first day we were together, I knew who you were. I still chose to be with you, which means I don’t care. This is the new society! What my mom says doesn’t count. You’re coming home with me tomorrow."

Yang Hongying was anxious: "No way..."

"What do you mean no way?" Gu Juntao slapped the table: "I make the decisions! Don’t think I’m joking. You are my wife!"

In his haste, he said what his grandfather often said, causing those around them to laugh even harder.

Yang Hongying was overwhelmed with embarrassment and pushed Gu Juntao away before running out.

Gu Juntao hurriedly chased after her: "You haven’t even eaten, where are you going?"

Han Dong watched his figure and said, "I used to hear that the second son of the Gu Family was cowardly and incompetent, but who would have thought he’d be resolute in matters like this."

"Because he wants to be with someone he likes," Sun Chan thought to herself. How interesting, his surname is Gu too.

"I think there’s a high chance this won’t succeed. Forget about Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu would never agree. But it’s not our business, so let’s not bother."

Sun Chan felt regret for that woman, as in the village, men with decent family conditions, if their wife died, their second wife could be someone good, even a young maiden. Nobody says anything about it. But if a woman loses her husband and remarries, she can only seek those lower. It seems the city isn’t much better.

She wondered if she could be together with Gu Junming?

Were his city parents, who had reportedly good conditions, going to accept her?

She started to let her thoughts wander.

Han Dong noticed the faint blush on Sun Chan’s face, feeling an ominous premonition: "Sun Chan, are you in a relationship?"
