Chapter 373: Chapter 399: Let Her Marry First
Gu Junming has never been one to joke around, and he says these words for his own good.
So even though Wang Hu felt awkward, he was still grateful. He also pondered whether to consider Bai Fanglan’s
marriage. If she gets married, he could save himself sworry, what a great thing. He originally thought Bai
Fanglan was still waiting to remarry him, especially after things blew up last time. He had never treated a woman
like that before and felt somewhat embarrassed.
Thinking that there might be sdivorced men around, he wanted to quietly introduce her to someone, but
who knew when he found out, the woman had already gotten involved with someone! And it’s a battalion
commander; Bai Fanglan aimed quite high indeed.
Wang Hu found it amusing; in such a hurry to find someone, how could she truly care about him? He worried for
nothing.
Since she had a new love, Wang Hu could truly relax now. With someone by her side, she naturally wouldn't care
about his affairs anymore.
Once he relaxed, his relationship with Yao DianDian wasn't as tense as it used to be. When they met, it wasn’t
like before when they’d avoid each other, and they could even exchange a few words.
Yao DianDian was happy inside but didn’t show it on her face, gradually interacting with Wang Hu. People around
quickly noticed the good relationship between the two, all holding a supportive attitude. After all, Wang Hu was
divorced, and finding someone else was normal.
Bai Fanglan started dating that Battalion Commander Zhao, and his character was pretty nice. Otherwise, he
wouldn't have beca battalion commander at thirty without any background. But his family was really poor,
which troubled Bai Fanglan.
During a meal, he told Bai Fanglan, "There are many people in my family, two brothers, three sisters. My mom's
health is poor, and my dad can’t do physical work. We only have a few pieces of land, just enough to eat, so
even if we get married, | have to send two-thirds of my allowance and bonuses back home. Only when they all
have families can | turn things around."
Battalion Commander Zhao knew she wouldn't be satisfied, but he had no choice. He was the only one in the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfamily with any prospects outside, and he couldn't ignore their survival. This was the reason he hadn't found
someone to marry.
Bai Fanglan was very annoyed: "But if you send all the money to them, how will we live?"
"Isn't there your salary? Don’t worry, | won't forget your kindness. Once my burden is gone, I'll definitely manage
the money well."
Bai Fanglan bit her lip; she used to manage her own money and wore the finest high-end clothes. Even when
married to Wang Hu, his family never required her money to be spent for them, and now she’d have to use her
salary to support the family and raise a daughter...
Battalion Commander Zhao smiled apologetically: "When | dated before, the person would leave just hearing
this, and | know it won't make you happy. Even if it doesn’t work out, | won't blyou."
Bai Fanglan wanted to leave immediately but realized the next one might be worse. At least this one’s character
was decent, and if he progresses, becoming a regimental level commander wouldn’t be a problem. Being a
regimental commander's wife isn’t a bad title.
"I'm not saying | won't agree to your terms, but | have one request," Bai Fanglan looked at him. "I'm not used to
living with elderly people. After all, there's a lot of lifestyle differences between a city and the countryside. You
can send money home, but | can’t accept you bringing them over. If you can’t agree, then forget it."
This was Bai Fanglan’s bottom line. If she had to live with two country folks, cooking, washing, and serving them,
she’d rather remain unmarried forever!
Battalion Commander Zhao nodded and said, "Don’t worry about that; I've mentioned before letting my parents
cto the city, but my elder brother didn’t agree, and my parents don’t feel comfortable living here. They
prefer to stay in the village. It's just if they fall ill, Id still need to trouble you. After all, you work at a hospital."
"Alright, I'll try my best, but I'll only care for your parents. Those other relatives in the village, | won't entertain
them."
Bai Fanglan thought it was better to speak bluntly upfront; marrying one person should not mean treating the
whole village as elders she needs to respect!
Battalion Commander Zhao agreed; finding a wife was tough for him. Bai Fanglan looked good, cfrom a
good family, and had a decent job; if not for her divorce, she probably wouldn't have chosen him.
The two bargained like negotiating a deal, discussing many details; an older bachelor, with family eager for
grandchildren, and a divorced woman eager to get married, so they planned to marry on New Year's Day.
Meanwhile, Sun Chan continued her life at school. After the cafeteria incident, Wu Qiong didn’t pay much
attention to her anymore. She knew Sun Chan, though from the countryside, had found such a match and wasn't
someone to provoke. Occasionally, when they met, there was a cold attitude, but Sun Chan didn’t mind.
Not long after, the school launched a fashion design competition, open to all students. However, since they were
first-year freshmen, they hadn't learned much theoretical knowledge about fashion design, so participants were
few.
In Sun Chan's class, only Sun Chan and Wu Qiong signed up.

Wu Qiong glanced at Sun Chan: "Aren’t you afraid of being embarrassed if you don’t get selected?"
Sun Chan replied, "That doesn’t matter; sget selected, and sdon’t. There's nothing embarrassing about
failing, just try harder next time."
"Humph, if you want to embarrass yourself, | won't care about you!" Wu Qiong continued sketching. What skills
could she possibly have?
Sun Chan also went to design her

She modified it based on that dress, a dark green suit, with ruffled neckline, white silk shirt underneath, black
pearl-like buttons, paired with a knee-length skirt. It would be perfect with leather boots.
Liu Enming looked at her design and smiled: "Not bad. You've drawn it very well."
"Thank you for the compliment, I'm just drawing casually."
"You better be careful, don’t let anyone steal a peek," Liu Enming said.
