B5SB -Chapter 213 Su Nian

Outside the Textile Factory, Lu Huailin was leaning on his bicycle, waiting for his wife to finish work.

Several female workers deliberately walked past him, their eyes filled with appraisal as they passed.

He furrowed his brows, a trace of impatience flashing in his eyes. Were these women sick in the head?

What if his wife misunderstood later?

This time, without waiting for the women to gawk, he said coldly, “My wife is very beautiful.”

The female workers who wanted a closer look at Lu Huailin stiffened.

They were only curious about how Gu Yihanshi’s wife compared to Secretary Jiang, nothing more.

“She’s really pretty.” whispered a woman in a blue uniform to her companion.

Tall, well-proportioned features, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge.

Strong posture, obviously a man with energy.

If her own man looked like that, she would happily eat two meals a day.

“He’s an officer, and his salary isn’t low,” her companion added.

She was on good terms with Jiang Yue and knew that Gu Yihan’s husband was a regiment commander—his monthly salary must be high.

So she didn’t believe the factory rumors about Gu Yihan and Secretary Jiang at all.

After Lu Huailin picked up his wife, he pedaled the bicycle home.

Gu Yihan closed her eyes, letting the wind brush her cheeks.

Lu Huailin noticed that his wife seemed to be in a bad mood today.

He pedaled while looking ahead, deliberately saying, “Wife, there’s a pothole ahead. Hold on to your man.”

Hearing this, Gu Yihan opened her eyes, grabbed his waist, and frowned. “How could there be a pothole?”

They had been walking this dirt road back to the family compound for two years, which the army regularly maintained. How could she not know about any potholes?

Lu Huailin pedaled intentionally toward the pothole.

Gu Yihan looked down at the hole, realizing he was doing it on purpose, and angrily tapped his back.

Lu Huailin chuckled. “Wife, sit tight.”

Then he accelerated on the bicycle.

At the Family Compound Gate, Gu Yihan got off the bicycle, rubbing her sore backside, glaring at Lu Huailin.

Even with a cushion on the rear seat, he still deliberately rode over the pothole.

“Gu Yihan?”

Hearing her name, Gu Yihan turned to see a female colleague running toward her.

“It’s really you!” Su Nian grabbed Gu Yihan’s arm, nearly bouncing in excitement.

“Su Nian.”

Su Nian quickly nodded, her voice full of joy. “I thought I must have seen wrong just now!”

Gu Yihan smiled faintly at Su Nian. She hadn’t expected to see her again, and asked with a smile, “Your husband is?”

Su Nian smiled, pointing toward Gu Yihan’s compound, testing her: “This is your home?”

Gu Yihan nodded.

Su Nian literally jumped with joy, exclaiming, “We’re actually neighbors!”

“Gu Yihan, wait a moment.”

She then turned and ran home.

Gu Yihan turned to meet Lu Huailin’s curious gaze and explained with a smile, “A classmate from vocational school.”

Lu Huailin nodded slightly. “Feeling any better?”

Gu Yihan was slightly stunned, noticing his eyes were a little moist.

He leaned toward her ear and reminded gently, “Wife, don’t chat too long. It’ll be time to eat soon.”

Gu Yihan smiled and nodded, signaling him to go home first.

At this moment, Su Nian ran out, shoving something into her arms. “Comrade Gu, thank you for the advice you gave me back then.”

Gu Yihan quickly refused. “Su Nian, I can’t accept this.”

Hearing this, Su Nian pretended to glare. “Gu Yihan, are you looking down on me?”

Gu Yihan shook her head. “I don’t accept rewards for nothing.”

Su Nian glanced at Gu Yihan and snorted softly. “The good life I have now is all because of you.”

“This…”

Gu Yihan looked at the item Su Nian insisted on giving her, feeling a bit awkward. After all, they hadn’t seen each other for many years.

Honestly, their friendship back in school wasn’t that deep either.

Su Nian stepped closer, linking her arm with Gu Yihan’s.

With a serious expression, she said, “I’ve always considered you a good friend, so I can’t refuse.”

Seeing her so insistent, Gu Yihan could only accept it, thinking she could often send Su Nian some homemade treats in the future.

“Sister-in-law, Xiaowei’s crying and looking for you,” a female voice called out.

Su Nian chatted with Gu Yihan briefly before quickly taking her leave.

Inside the Living Room, Lu Huailin buried his face in Haohai’s belly, making him laugh loudly.

Seeing Gu Yihan holding a bag, he smiled. “Why didn’t you refuse?”

They had been married for two years, and Lu Huailin knew his wife well.

She had been at the family compound for a while and had never grown particularly close to that officer’s wife, keeping a moderate distance.

Gu Yihan set the items on the dining table and opened them. There were several packs of chocolate, a can of meat, and malted milk powder.

“Wow, Commander Zhou’s family is quite well-off!” Lu Huailin exclaimed from behind his wife.

Holding the child in one arm, he picked up the neatly packaged chocolate with the other.

Haohai, curious about the chocolate in Lu Huailin’s hand, reached out with his little hands.

Gu Yihan immediately went over and grabbed the chocolate.

Seeing the chocolate disappear, Haohai opened his mouth wide and cried loudly.

Lu Huailin, holding Haohai and bouncing him gently, noticed he was still crying pitifully, showing no sign of calming down.

He could only go to Gu Yihan and gently pat her arm, soothing softly: “See, Daddy’s teaching Mommy a lesson for you.”

Gu Yihan rolled her eyes at Lu Huailin.

Haohai, with tears in his eyes, looked at Gu Yihan and reached out for the chocolate.

Gu Yihan, back to them, tore open the package and hid the chocolate in a bowl.

Then she handed the chocolate wrapper to the little one.

Haohai curiously examined the bright wrapper and bit it with his baby teeth.

Gu Yihan watched him and laughed.

She then tidied the items on the table and put them in the cabinet, smiling: “Haohai probably likes chocolate for the red and yellow colors of the packaging.”

Lu Huailin couldn’t help but laugh. “Let him eat some, look how tempted he is.”

Gu Yihan shook her head slightly. “Chocolate isn’t good for kids under three.”

Lu Huailin: “Not good? Chocolate is a treat, every child likes it.”

Gu Yihan nodded firmly. “Not good.”

She really didn’t think it was that special, having seen all kinds of chocolate in the future world.

Lu Huailin sat on the sofa holding Haohai.

After a moment of thought, he said, “Commander Zhou is from a rural background; how could his wife be so generous?”

“Rural background?” Grandma Gu carried a porcelain basin into the living room.

“Xiao Lu, Commander Zhou is quite willing to spend. To trade apartments with Sister Chen, he gave a lot of good things!”

Gu Yihan walked up to Grandma Gu and took the basin of soup from her hands.

She smiled, “That’s nothing; Su Nian’s family is well-off.”

“Who’s Su Nian?” Grandma Gu looked at her granddaughter curiously.

“Commander Zhou’s wife,” Gu Yihan placed the porcelain basin on the dining table.

Hearing this, Lu Huailin didn’t ask further.
