Hearing what Chen Lan said, Wen Jing immediately nodded and promised to wear new clothes to see her next time.

Chen Lan nodded with satisfaction and discussed the plans for the night classes. Hearing the sound of the door opening at home, she knew that Tang Ye had returned.

“Alright, get some rest. Tomorrow, I’ll go back to my parents’ house, and you can come back to the compound with me.”

Though Wen Jing had never been in a romantic relationship, she wasn’t naive. “I understand. You should get some rest too.”

When Chen Lan returned to her room, Tang Ye was changing clothes.

He had removed half of his tank top, revealing his well-defined abs. Upon hearing the door open, he quickly pulled his shirt back down, relieved to see that it was Chen Lan who had entered

“You are not sleeping with Wen Jing?”

Chen Lan smiled, closing the bedroom door behind her. “Xiaojing is not a child. Does she still need me to coax her to sleep? Besides, if I stay with her, what about you? I can’t bear the thought of leaving you alone.”

As she spoke, Chen Lan approached and embraced Tang Ye by the waist, pressing her face against his solid chest.

Her hand slipped into Tang Ye’s white tank top, lingering on his abdominal muscles, and she listened to his gradually heavy breath and accelerating heartbeat.

“Stop fooling around,” Tang Ye said, grabbing Chen Lan’s wandering hand and trying to take deep breaths to control his rising desire.

If it were any other day, he would have pinned the tempting figure in front of him beneath him and thoroughly punished her. However, today they had guests in the house, and the soundproofing wasn’t that great.

Chen Lan’s waist was still sore, and she didn’t dare to tease him too much. She obediently stopped.

The two of them just held each other in silence, listening to each other’s heartbeats.

“Thank you for today,” Tang Ye suddenly spoke, expressing his gratitude for her unwavering support during the day.

“Silly, you’re my husband, and this is what I am supposed to do,” Chen Lan said as she nuzzled against his chest. “Get some rest. It was so tiring today.”

With that, she lay down on the bed and then looked at Tang Ye, who was still standing at the side. “Hurry up, I can’t sleep if you don’t hug me.”

Tang Ye turned off the lights and lay down on the bed. Chen Lan immediately snuggled into his arms.

In the darkness, with only the faint moonlight, he looked at her and softly asked, “Chen Lan, do you want to live a good life with me?”

He did not get an answer to his question as Chen Lan, who had been tormented for the entire day, had long fallen asleep.

Tang Ye withdrew his gaze and stared at the ceiling. He hoped for an answer but was also afraid of hearing it.

After staring at the ceiling for a long time, he closed his eyes and subconsciously tightened his grip on Chen Lan.

The next morning, when Chen Lan woke up, Tang Ye had already prepared breakfast and even borrowed a car from the military base.

Chen Lan had to admire this aspect of him. She was not a morning person at all, and it was preferable to kill her than have her wake up early.

Wen Jing had finished getting ready and was sitting in the living room. Seeing that Tang Ye had prepared breakfast early, her impression of him improved slightly.

Three of them quickly finished breakfast, and Tang Ye loaded the gift for his wife’s family onto the car. They set off towards the county town.

Along the winding mountain road, Chen Lan spotted a familiar figure waving at them by the roadside.

Tang Ye also recognized the person waving — Liang Chen.

He pondered for a moment and then stepped on the brakes to bring the car to a stop in front of Liang Chen.

“What’s wrong?” Tang Ye’s tone was devoid of any emotion. Chen Lan could tell that he was displeased, speculating that this man might be feeling jealous.

“So it’s Battalion Commander Tang.” Liang Chen was surprised. He did not expect to find Tang Ye and Chen Lan when he randomly flagged down a military vehicle.

Liang Chen was reluctant to travel with Chen Lan in the same car. However, he remembered that today was Fan Cong’s birthday, and they had planned to meet in the county town. Time was running out, and he had no choice.

Hence, he clenched his teeth and decided to ask, “I need to go back to the compound. I was planning to ride my bike to the town and catch a ride from there. But my bike broke down. Are you heading to the county? Can you give me a ride?”

Tang Ye frowned and then turned to look at Chen Lan for her opinion.

Chen Lan wanted to signal Tang Ye not to let Liang Chen in the car, but with Liang Chen watching her, she refrained from expressing her disapproval brazenly. After all, he was the male lead, and his protagonist’s aura couldn’t be ignored.

Instead, she averted her gaze and remained silent, leaving the decision to Tang Ye.
