Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her! - Chapter 86

Chapter 86: No Particular Reason, I Just Wanted to Join the Military

When a question was thrown at her about why she went to the Chief Instructor earlier, Gu Qingjiu recalled a particular question that she became rather speechless for a moment.

She didn’t deny that she went there, but she didn’t disclose the actual reason behind it.

“Commander Huo asked me to go over regarding some matter.”

Gu Qingjiu didn’t say it was He Niancheng.

Since she was well-aware that He Niancheng was aloof and had a high-ranking position, 5t it might surprise others if they knew that she had been in frequent contact with him, and they might ask Yu Bao’er this and that. Hence, she decided it was better just to mention Commander Huo.

“Commander Huo?”

Upon hearing it was Commander Huo, the expression on Yu Bao’er no longer looked so anxious.

“Right, Qingjiu. I wanted to ask, how exactly did you get acquainted with Commander Huo and the Chief Instructor? Do you guys know each other from back then?”

Yu Bao’er was extremely curious about this.

If the training didn’t bog her yesterday, she would have pressed her on for more details.

Gu Qingjiu knew she would not let this matter rest that easily, so she told Yu Bao’er the truth.

“We’re not acquainted and only came across each other several times. Before I entered the army, I met them on the streets. By that time, Commander Huo and the Chief Instructor seemed like they were still new around. I think we bumped into each other when they’ve just arrived.”

Yu Bao’er felt amazed when she heard this. “Really? But seeing the way Commander Huo defended you, I thought you guys were chummy.”

But since Gu Qingjiu put it that way, they weren’t all that familiar with each other.

Gu Qingjiu pursed her lips and said, “Actually, I have no idea why Commander Huo helped me.”

“I’m not surprised that Commander Huo helped you.” Yu Bao’er suddenly winked mischievously at Gu Qingjiu. She then coughed into her fisted hand and deepened her voice as if imitating someone.

“She’s my soldier, I forbid.”

Gu Qingjiu instantly knew who Yu Bao’er was mimicking.

She wasn’t sure whether to laugh or to cry. “Bao’er, what are you doing?”

Yu Bao’er laughed out loud.

“What do you think I’m doing? The Chief Instructor sounded so manly when he said that! Although he still terrifies me.”

For a problematic person like Yu Bao’er, what she feared most was someone who exuded such a stern aura.

Gu Qingjiu said, “Perhaps it’s because he happened to be around.”

Gu Qingjiu didn’t wish to overthink why He Niancheng had said that.

Because He Niancheng and Gu Qingjiu weren’t even acquaintances.

And Gu Qingjiu had no interest in this Chief Instructor.

“Xiao Jiu’er, I’m curious though. Why doesn’t your older brother want you to join the military?”

Yu Bao’er’s expression turned solemn as she asked this.

Actually, she had wanted to ask the same question since yesterday.

But she didn’t because she saw that Gu Qingjiu wasn’t in a great mood.

From Gu Qingjiu’s older brother’s words, he didn’t wish for Qingjiu to suffer hardships, so it seemed like he was doing this for her good.

On the other hand, Qingjiu insisting on joining the military baffled Yu Bao’er.

Back then, if her family didn’t force her, Yu Bao’er probably wouldn’t have joined the military.

Unless forced, would kid nowadays give up on good food and a good life at home and join the military to spend a few meaningless years as a soldier?

Yu Bao’er’s question pricked Gu Qingjiu’s sensitive spot.

But she didn’t react violently. It’s just that at the thought of the reason, her gaze lowered, and her eyelashes trembled a little. She calmly replied, “No particular reason, I just wanted to join the military, that’s all.”
