Chapter 113 The Forced Bonds
Commander Shi and Director Qin, both old men, revealed cunning expressions, as if they were old foxes who had finally succeeded.
Yu Zhen quickly snapped out of his absurd thoughts.
It really gave me a fright.
Thankfully, he didn't go too far. He was holding a three-inch color photo of Gong Erjie from four years ago and was completely captivated by her beauty.
"My wife is so beautiful!!"
~~"
muma
~~
A sigh of emotion.
Then, without thinking, he kissed the photo.
That face, that reaction.
Immediately, this provoked the two old men to make disdainful and sarcastic remarks.
"Tsk tsk, listen to this guy, how shameless he is, calling her 'wife' already. Old Shi, we really have to thank you this time! Otherwise, we really wouldn't know what weakness this kid had to exploit."
"Ha, Xiao Yu, you probably don't know this! Comrade Gong Xue was once a member of our General Political Department!" Commander Shi exclaimed with great satisfaction, praising and sighing repeatedly, "You've got good taste, kid. It seems the 'matchmaker' task entrusted to us by the higher-ups can be successfully completed today!"
"Haha, right, right, Lao Shi, the car that's picking up Comrade Gong Xue should be arriving soon!"
"Ha, it'll be soon, it shouldn't be long before we have to wait any longer."
"Alright, alright, let's strike while the iron is hot. How about we throw a surprise wedding ceremony for that kid right here in the military camp today?"
"Ha, that's something to consider. I have no objection. It's a mission from above, so a swift and decisive victory is always best."
"Stop, stop, stop right now!!"
Yu Zhen felt guilty and broke out in a cold sweat. "What are you two old geezers spouting nonsense about?!"
Why the sudden wedding?!
And what's this all about? Sister Gong is already halfway to the General Political Department!
"You two old comrades, what do you mean by this? You actually contacted Sister Gong Erjie a long time ago?"
"Hey, look at this kid, AUV, look how excited he is!"
"Absolutely! He's in such a hurry, and a little bit sleazy too," Director Qin, the perfect straight man, worked seamlessly with Commander Shi, their banter flowing smoothly. "Xiao Yu, just tell me, don't you want to be a groom and enter the bridal chamber as soon as possible?"
Goodness, it's getting more and more exaggerated.
Yu Zhen was completely bewildered by the two old men.
Needless to say, if he could really marry Sister Gong as his wife, without a doubt, he would be more than willing.
But tonight, they're in such a hurry to get married that they're arranging a wedding ceremony right here in the military camp.
Even if you're just trying to keep my heart in the country.
But the way we're playing this game is a bit too disrespectful to my second sister Gong's wishes!
He certainly knew that in those special times, when it came to important matters like marriage, sometimes the so-called organization and coordination had far more authority than the wishes of parents.
Okay, okay, he admitted that he was starting to feel a little flustered.
In particular, the thought that Gong Xue was already on her way to the General Political Department was especially striking.
Goodness, if he hadn't chosen "Second Sister Gong" at first glance from the pile of photos, and instead had been overwhelmed by temptation and picked another beauty, he would have truly cemented his reputation as a complete scumbag.
"Ha, alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."
"Yeah, yeah, that's right. If we keep teasing them, some people should really find a hole to crawl into."
"Xiao Yu, let me ask you something privately. Were you really a little overwhelmed by the choices just now, taking a fancy to a lot of beauties? Heh, don't be shy about admitting it. We're all men, and every man has a little bit of a flirtatious streak. Especially you, so young and successful, it's only natural to dream of having multiple wives someday. Actually, you really shouldn't be embarrassed. These things are judged by actions, not intentions. No one is perfect in this world. As long as you know what you're doing, we all understand—"
"That's right. Even if you go abroad, if something really happens, as long as someone gets hold of the dirt and uses it to blackmail you, everything else is negotiable. I believe even if Comrade Gong knew, he would choose to forgive you."
"Stop talking, stop talking, I admit defeat!"
Yu Zhen had finally figured out the true meaning behind the two old men's words.
This half-serious, half-joking advice was almost a direct warning to him that even if he couldn't control himself while abroad, he shouldn't actually fall for a woman.
Men understand the nature of youthful impetuosity and playing along.
As long as you don't give others a handle to use against you, everything is negotiable.
Wow, that's way too much special treatment.
I admit I'm very talented, and if I wanted to, I'd be willing to throw myself into the fire like moths to a flame, but you don't have to be so tolerant of me!
It's pretty embarrassing.
He even had good reason to believe that his frequent outings with his golf buddy Selena Feng were not as secretive as the two of them thought.
Seeing this, the two old men exchanged a glance, a cunning look appearing on their faces. "Ha, young Yu, do you want to hear the truth?"
"In no mood."
"Well, you have to listen whether you want to or not."
"Sigh, what can we do? You're always all alone, with no ties back home. What if you go abroad and can't resist the allure of foreign devils? Don't think we're being cunning, but we just want you to have something to miss back home, to let you know that no matter how fragrant or beautiful the wildflowers are, they can't compare to the enduring beauty, the lingering charm, the safety, and the peace of mind that comes with home."
"Commander Shi, Director Qin, please let me off the hook! Please stop hurting me so deeply! If you keep going, I'll never be able to face my Sister Gong again!"
"Ha ha ha ha----"
The two old men burst into laughter. They thought, "If we don't push you a bit, we really won't be able to see what you're really made of."
Qin Zhongkai suddenly dropped his flamboyant matchmaker persona and said solemnly, "Xiao Yu, I'm serious. Please, please don't let down Comrade Gong Xue's burning love for you. Actually, there's something I should have told you earlier, but since you went to Tsinghua and Peking University as an undercover agent recently, it was delayed for the time being—"
"Huh?? What's going on?? Is it about Sister Gong?? Did something happen to her??" Yu Zhen was getting anxious.
"That's right, kid. Back in Shanghai, I don't know what kind of spell you were cast on. You probably have no idea that after filming 'Good Things Take Time,' Comrade Gong Xue applied to her workplace to retire from acting. Instead, she decided to pursue a career in adapting traditional Chinese paintings into comics. A while ago, Comrade Gong Xue brought some of the completed artwork and came all the way from Shanghai to see you."
"Ah, this—" Yu Zhen was utterly astonished.
Back then, he did give Sister Gong some advice, saying that the Chinese animation industry was a barren wasteland waiting to be developed, and he really wanted her to adapt his work into a comic.
Gong Erjie's initial response was that she needed to consider it, which she took very seriously.
However, later on, the filming process suddenly entered its most intense final stage.
And then, just after the results of the major exam were released, he was urgently summoned to the capital, which led to a series of big troubles, and he simply lost contact with Sister Gong for so long.
Who would have thought that Sister Gong had made the most decisive choice without making a sound, and had already silently followed his advice and made a career decision.
Mother, it's hardest to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman.
Compared to Gong Erjie's solemnity and cherishing of their ambiguous past,
He really is a total scumbag.
