Chapter 51: Ran Into Zhang Lan   Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

During his years of service, he had eaten cold buns and moldy pancakes.

So what Lu Ye said earlier... he simply wanted to bully this little angel.

But Gu Yan thought he was being serious.

Even so, she still realized his intentions and gently frowned her dainty brows.

“...Next time?”

“Comrade Gu Yan, your heart isn’t sincere.” Lu Ye stiffened his back and started to scold Gu Yan, “how could you lie to a fellow comrade, what happened to solidarity and friendship?”

Gu Yan was a little shocked. She really had no idea how cheeky the twenty-something Lu Ye was.

She deliberately kept a straight face and said, “Comrade Lu Ye, if you want to get serious, you have yet to pay me back for how I saved your life.”

“Fine, I’ll treat you to a meal next time as a payback for how you saved my life.” Lu Ye lost his position and immediately came back at her, and even winked at her after he finished.

That reminded Gu Yan of the pledge of marriage...

Gu Yan didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, but she saw how lively Lu Ye was right now. The bad memories from her previous life got watered-down a little bit.

Lu Ye went to the bathroom, giving Gu Yan the chance to put her hand on the medicinal herbs. Sure enough, she felt the familiar warm and tingling sensation, then, a burping sound came up.

This little foodie!

The jade pendant in front of her chest was heating up a little bit. If Wu Yan took out the jade pendant right now, she would notice the little seedling had two new leaves growing out.

Just as Gu Yan lowered her head to open the paper bag to see what was missing, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

“That damned girl Gu Yan must have done it on purpose! Darn tootin’ let’s go again tomorrow, I don’t believe she has the balls to avoid us the rest of her life!”

The one talking was Zhang Lan.

The man walking beside her was Ironsmith Wang.

Just the thought of all the disgusting things this man had done to Gu Yan in her past life had her clench her fists so hard that her nails could dig in her flesh!

Gu Yan immediately turned around and turned her back to Zhang Lan and Ironsmith Wang. There were plenty of other people wearing military uniform in this noodle house, nobody would suspect a thing.

Despite how calm she tried to make herself look, her heart could not be appeased no matter what.

She closed her eyes, and couldn’t forget the humiliation and suffering brought to her by Ironsmith Wang via Zhang Lan, the pain was bone-deep!

Lu Ye came back just in time, he saw Gu Yan eating noodles with her head down and didn’t say anything. He thought, this girl was complaining how hungry she was earlier, she must be starving to be gulping down noodles like this.

So he waved his hand and ordered another bowl of ramen noodles for Gu Yan.

Gu Yan: ...

Even though Lu Ye wanted to say something more, both of them were in the military, they were used to eating in silence. Especially now that he saw Gu Yan munching on her noodles with her head down, he didn’t want to disturb her.

So Lu Ye also lowered his head and ate.

Everything became quiet all of a sudden.

But behind them, Zhang Lan’s table was not quiet at all. Ironsmith Wang was being super nice to Zhang Lan, he kept on giving food to Zhang Lan, showing his hospitality.

Even though he also wanted to catch Gu Yan and bring her back, he didn’t really have a deep impression of the skinny little girl.

Ironsmith Wang, however, had a thing for Zhang Lan.

But because of several different reasons, this “thing” had always been hiding in his heart and never revealed. This time, he finally had the chance to come to the city with Zhang Lan alone, which was a sign from above!

All because Zhang Lan’s man was stupid enough to trust his wife to go out with another man. Heh heh.

However, Ironsmith Wang misunderstood Gu Dagang this time.

Because Zhang Lan never told Gu Dagang that she came to the city with Ironsmith Wang.

Zhang Lan said she would go to the city alone to persuade Gu Yan.
