Hello, Comrade. I'm Here to Marry You!

Gu Qingran hadn’t expected Xie Huaizhen to be so guarded.

She had done everything she could to show her good intentions, even pulling out her student ID for him to see, but Xie Huaizhen still refused to believe her?!

"It’s not like that, Deputy Battalion Commander Xie. Please believe me. Even though I know Su Zhaozhao, I absolutely don’t approve of her actions. That’s why I came to you."

’She just hoped to be by his side during his most difficult moments, to become the woman he could never forget.’

’She was also hesitating. Should she tell him that Su Zhaozhao had married another man? But after thinking it over, she decided not to, for now.’

’She’d tell him after she and Xie Huaizhen were actually together.’

’But from the way Xie Huaizhen was acting now, he clearly wasn’t easy to fool.’

’Just as expected of a big shot!’

"That’s not necessary. I have no time to think about romantic matters right now," Xie Huaizhen told her coldly.

Gu Qingran knew she had played the wrong card.

’If she hadn’t mentioned knowing Su Zhaozhao at the start, perhaps Xie Huaizhen wouldn’t be so wary of her.’

’It seemed he really hated Su Zhaozhao. She shouldn’t have kept bringing her up in front of him.’

’It was all that Su Zhaozhao’s fault. Now she couldn’t get any closer to the big shot.’

Gu Qingran thought about the idol dramas she’d seen, where the heroine would relentlessly pursue the male lead and eventually win his heart.

’She wasn’t bad-looking, after all. Plenty of guys pursued her in college, and many men had liked her after she started working, too.’

Thinking this, Gu Qingran forced a pitiful expression onto her face. "Actually, I know you probably don’t trust any women because of Su Zhaozhao. But, Deputy Battalion Commander Xie, I’m willing to wait for you to open your heart to me."

"I’ll be here for a few more days. I was thinking... we could slowly get to know each other. Would that be okay?"

Xie Huaizhen was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Gu Qingran to be so persistent.

"I’m really not a bad person. Lin Shumo is a childhood friend of mine—he’s that Doctor Lin who works at the military region hospital. You should know him."

The military region hospital wasn’t large, and it didn’t have many doctors. Those who had been stationed here for a while were bound to know one another.

Besides, Lin Shumo was an exceptional doctor.

Just as she’d hoped, when Xie Huaizhen heard her mention Lin Shumo, his expression softened slightly.

"He’s a childhood friend of yours?"

"Yes, we grew up together. You could consider us childhood sweethearts."

"But from what I know, your hometown is in a remote region. How did you meet Su Zhaozhao?"

"I’ve visited Jiang City before."

Gu Qingran was beginning to regret this. She felt that the more lies she told, the more holes appeared in her story.

To make matters worse, Xie Huaizhen was an intelligent man who could instantly spot the flaws in her story.

Xie Huaizhen’s eyes swept over Gu Qingran, a sneer touching his lips. He stared down at her condescendingly. "You don’t even think through your lies, do you? Just making it all up as you go."

"I’m not afraid of you investigating me. Really. I have nothing to hide," Gu Qingran said. "I just like you. The only reason I came here was to find you."

Although this side of Xie Huaizhen scared her a little, she did her best to muster her courage.

’She was running out of time. If she couldn’t make Xie Huaizhen fall for her now, she might not get a chance to see him again for a long, long time.’

’Her original plan had been to take things slow, but Su Zhaozhao’s presence here was putting her under an inexplicable amount of pressure.’

’Even if Su Zhaozhao really had married that other man, she was still Xie Huaizhen’s former fiancée.’

’She was so beautiful, and if she was always around Xie Huaizhen, there was no guarantee he wouldn’t start to like her.’

This was Gu Qingran’s greatest fear. She had been reborn specifically to get a head start and end up with the big shot!

’She absolutely could not let the big shot fall for that awful woman, Su Zhaozhao, all over again.’

Xie Huaizhen found Gu Qingran utterly baffling. He turned and walked away.

Gu Qingran, however, relaxed slightly.

’His reaction just now hadn’t been that harsh. Maybe she didn’t need to worry so much after all?’

’For the next few days, she could arrange to run into Xie Huaizhen every day. And then... make him fall for her?’

Gu Qingran was suddenly filled with confidence.

’She knew what Xie Huaizhen liked and disliked; she just had to cater to his tastes.’

Meanwhile, after Xie Huaizheng left for the training grounds, Su Zhaozhao made a trip to the guesthouse.

Yu Huijun was thrilled to see Su Zhaozhao. "This is wonderful, Sister Zhaozhao! I was afraid you weren’t going to come by anymore."

"Of course not! I just moved into the military family compound, but I’ll still come to visit you."

Su Zhaozhao had brought some hair ties for Yu Huijun, and this time, the styles were even prettier than before.

There were even some lace ones that were so elaborate they looked very expensive.

"These must have cost a fortune, right?" Yu Huijun asked, gently stroking one of the hair ties.

Su Zhaozhao immediately shook her head. "Nope. We know each other well now, so I’ll sell them to you at the same old price."

Overjoyed, Yu Huijun immediately bought them.

Yu Huijun also took a few of the other styles Su Zhaozhao had, saying she’d save them for her friends.

"I probably won’t be selling these much anymore, but if you ever need more, you can come find me," she told Yu Huijun.

After leaving the guesthouse, Su Zhaozhao headed to the military region hospital.

She was going to give some of her wedding candy to Lin Shumo and Fu Yuling.

She also needed to give a share to one of the attending physicians who had helped her when she was working part-time at the hospital.

She went straight to Lin Shumo’s office.

Few patients usually came in at this hour, so Lin Shumo would typically be organizing case files and other documents.

When Su Zhaozhao appeared, Lin Shumo’s eyes lit up. "Zhaozhao, you’re here! Long time no see."

They had barely interacted since Su Zhaozhao stopped coming to the hospital. As for him, living in the hospital dorms, he had no good excuse to make a special trip to the guesthouse to see her.

The next moment, he watched as Su Zhaozhao placed a bright red bag in front of him.

Lin Shumo froze. He heard the young woman’s soft voice say, "Doctor Lin, Huai Zheng and I got married. I came to give you some wedding candy."

Lin Shumo looked at Su Zhaozhao, the smile on his face freezing.

"You two got married so quickly? I remember your relationship seemed rather distant at first."

’Besides, Su Zhaozhao is so young. Why would she get married in such a hurry?’

Su Zhaozhao smiled at Lin Shumo. "Mhm. It felt like a natural next step, so we decided to get married. We didn’t want to wait too long."

She could sense that Lin Shumo was a little unhappy about her marriage.

’Is it because I got married too quickly?’

’Does he think I was being irrational?’

Su Zhaozhao quickly explained, "I actually thought it all through long ago. On my way here from Jiang City, I had already made up my mind that I was coming here to marry him."

Listening to Su Zhaozhao, Lin Shumo’s gaze fell to the wedding candy. For reasons he couldn’t explain, his eyes began to sting.

"He... treats you well, doesn’t he?"
