Chapter 1462: You're Even Resentful of Your Own Father Now

Guo Yueliang shook her head lightly and said, "If it were truly a misunderstanding, how could he have failed to appear for so many days?"

"What disgusts me most is that my good stepmother feels not a shred of guilt and keeps trying to set me up with suitors, so I've come here to seek refuge."

Chuxue smiled and said, "Then it's perfect; keep me company and talk."

Hearing this, Guo Yueliang suddenly sat up straight: "Will this put you in an awkward position?"

"Fu Yan Cheng has been so busy these days he hasn't had a moment to rest, yet he still squeezes in time to care for me; right now, he would welcome anyone to keep me company."

"Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease, but I have a business trip the day after tomorrow afternoon, so I must return to the city tomorrow afternoon."

"Why do you have to return tomorrow afternoon?"

"I came here specifically to avoid them finding me, but this business trip will likely not be short; I need to return to my unit to handle some matters."

"Then aren't you afraid they will block your path at the dormitory tomorrow night?"

"If they can't find me today or tomorrow, they will surely think I left early for the trip; the reason I'm leaving the day after tomorrow is that the comrade traveling with me has had family matters these past few days."

Chuxue understood at once: "I get it."

Guo Yueliang leaned back against Chuxue's shoulder again: "My father knows almost all my old friends and classmates; only by coming here will he not come looking for me."

Chuxue glanced sideways at the person on her shoulder: "You're even resentful of your own father now?"

Guo Yueliang remained silent for a long time: "When he first married that woman into the house, he still favored me, but I don't know from when he and I became less close."

Speaking of this, Guo Yueliang's mood sank deeply: "That woman has been determined these past few days to set me up with a suitor, just to kick me out of the house; I won't let her have her way."

Chuxue knew that at this moment, no matter what she said to persuade her, Guo Yueliang wouldn't listen: "Liangliang, I won't try to persuade you anymore, but perhaps time can prove everything; staying away from the capital city for a while is for the best; once you calm down, you may find things aren't as terrible as they seem."

Guo Yueliang made a soft "Hmm" sound: "I'll listen to you."

She had originally planned to wait for Fu Yan Cheng to return and eat together, but instead, Fu Yan Cheng's orderly, Xiao Guo, arrived: "Sister-in-law, our deputy regiment commander has an urgent mission; he probably won't make it back tonight, and he sent me over to tell you."

Hearing this, Chuxue thought: What a coincidence?

After Xiao Guo left, Guo Yueliang looked at Chuxue with suspicion: "Chuxue, could it be that because of my arrival, your man, to avoid suspicion, doesn't even dare to come home?"

After saying this, she even laughed.

Chuxue rolled her eyes at her: "If he doesn't come back, aren't you even more at ease?"

Guo Yueliang thought for a moment: "That's true."

It was no surprise; the reason Fu Yan Cheng didn't return was that, first, he truly had an urgent matter requiring him to go out and handle it, and second, knowing a female guest had come to the house, he had indeed sought this mission himself to avoid suspicion.

After all, that female comrade had arrived on the last bus of the day, clearly not intending to leave today.

The military guesthouse has been under renovation recently; since the weather turned cold, many people have come to visit relatives, and it is said there are basically no vacant rooms; it is very likely that female comrade will have to stay at the house.

Anyway, he had known since early morning that his younger sister was coming; with Xiao Wan here, he felt very at ease.

After Fu Yanwan learned that her fourth brother wouldn't be back tonight, she said: "Fourth sister-in-law, your months are getting larger; perhaps you should return to the city."

Chuxue knew what she was worried about: "Your fourth brother probably also knows you two are here, which is why he went off to handle his own affairs; don't worry, he has his wits about him."
