Hello, Comrade. I'm Here to Marry You!

Li Jian Country was sitting on the living room sofa. When he saw them come in, he stood up. "You’re here?"

Su Zhaozhao greeted him, "Uncle Li."

Li Jian Country’s gaze fell on Su Zhaozhao, tinged with a bit of remorse.

"Zhaozhao, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you before."

Su Zhaozhao hadn’t expected Li Jian Country to apologize to her right away. She quickly said, "It’s alright, it’s alright. It’s only right for your political reviews to be strict."

In truth, she had already let it go.

’From Xie Huaizheng’s perspective, what Li Jian Country did was understandable.’

After all, Xie Huaizheng was a battalion commander, holding an important position in the military, and his relationship with Li Jian Country was not ordinary.

Li Jian Country was bound to have many concerns.

Wang Anning stepped in to smooth things over. "This girl Zhaozhao, I liked her the moment I first saw her. Now that you and Huai Zheng have finally tied the knot, we must celebrate properly today."

"Come, the food is ready." Wang Anning beckoned for everyone to sit down. "Zhaozhao, there are several dishes from Jiang City. Give them a try and see if they suit your taste."

The five of them sat at a table laden with a sumptuous feast.

There was even wine.

Li Jian Country glanced at Xie Huaizheng. "Huai Zheng, it’s a special occasion. How about a few drinks?"

"Alright." Xie Huaizheng didn’t refuse.

Wang Anning poured a glass of wine for everyone. Xie Huaizheng’s eyes fell on the glass next to Su Zhaozhao. Seeing her staring at the wine with sparkling eyes, he couldn’t help but lean close to her ear and say...

"Don’t drink too much, or you’ll get drunk later."

Su Zhaozhao thought about the last time she got drunk and shook her head. "I’m not worried. You’ll protect me."

Su Zhaozhao’s completely trusting and bold declaration left Xie Huaizheng speechless.

’Doesn’t she realize?’ he thought. ’When there’s no other danger around, I’m the biggest danger of all.’

’But, they were married now. He could...’

At this thought, Xie Huaizheng’s Adam’s apple bobbed uncontrollably. He could only hastily pick up the tea beside him and take a sip to relieve the dryness in his throat.

Just as they were about to pick up their chopsticks, the sound of a door opening came from the entrance.

A moment later, someone popped into view.

"Mom, Dad, I’m home!"

The girl’s voice was exceptionally loud. Su Zhaozhao turned to see a short-haired girl dressed in navy blue.

Her features were sharp and spirited, her posture was ramrod straight, and she had a very frank and open air about her.

She had a large backpack slung over her shoulders.

As she walked in, her gaze fell on the dining area, and she let out a cry of surprise. "Oh, we have guests?"

The girl greeted them with natural ease, "Hello, everyone."

She looked them over as she spoke.

"Huh? It’s Aunt Huang, and Brother Huai Zheng?"

After speaking, her gaze finally landed on Su Zhaozhao and lingered.

Su Zhaozhao felt her gaze suddenly turn fiery.

The girl tossed her backpack onto a nearby sofa and strode over until she was right beside Su Zhaozhao.

She sized up Su Zhaozhao, and Su Zhaozhao looked back at her.

’This girl’s eyes...’

"Li Tiantian!" Li Jian Country’s expression turned stern as he scolded her, "How can you stare at a guest like that? Where are your manners?"

"I... I’ve just never seen such a pretty girl. Hey, miss, where are you from? How can you be so beautiful?"

Li Tiantian stared at Su Zhaozhao, her eyes shining. She had always been infatuated with beautiful things. In the past, she had also loved to look at Xie Huaizheng.

But Xie Huaizheng was too fierce. If she stared at him for more than a second, he’d look like he was about to beat her up.

He even once told her not to be a toad lusting after a swan.

That incident had infuriated Li Tiantian.

But now, with this girl’s appearance, she didn’t even have eyes for Xie Huaizheng anymore.

She was just too beautiful, like a birthday cake she had once seen in a bakery in the city.

A strawberry-flavored one, at that.

Su Zhaozhao was stunned. She had never met a girl like Li Tiantian. ’Are there really girls this bold in this day and age?’

In the next instant, an arm tightened around her waist as Xie Huaizheng, who was beside her, pulled her into his embrace.

"Don’t look at her like that." Xie Huaizheng looked coldly at Li Tiantian. "My wife. She’s spoken for."

Hearing Xie Huaizheng’s words, a flash of disappointment crossed Li Tiantian’s face.

"Miss, how could you get married so young? And to this King Yan..."

Before Li Tiantian could finish, she felt Xie Huaizheng’s icy gaze and forced herself to stop talking.

"Fine, it doesn’t matter. We can be good friends from now on."

Wang Anning yanked her aside. "You didn’t even tell us you were coming back? Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Wang Anning couldn’t bear to watch Li Tiantian make a fool of herself any longer and immediately dragged her to the kitchen to wash her hands.

Li Tiantian couldn’t help but ask Wang Anning about Su Zhaozhao. When she learned that Su Zhaozhao had just married Xie Huaizheng today, she sighed. "Mom, why didn’t you introduce her to my younger brother? I think our family could have had a shot."

"Are you crazy? Your brother is busy studying for his college entrance exams. He doesn’t have time for thoughts like yours." Wang Anning shot her a glare. "Don’t go out there and say anything reckless."

Meanwhile, Su Zhaozhao had also heard about Li Tiantian from Xie Huaizheng.

Apparently, Li Tiantian was Li Jian Country and Wang Anning’s eldest daughter. She had been mischievous and unruly since she was a child, and her family found her to be quite a handful.

But Su Zhaozhao didn’t think a girl like that was bad; in fact, she seemed quite fun.

Most people in this era were rather reserved and formal. The sudden appearance of such a cute and lively girl was very interesting to Su Zhaozhao.

"Zhaozhao, don’t get too close to her, or she’ll stick to you like glue," Xie Huaizheng warned Su Zhaozhao.

He didn’t like Li Tiantian. The fanatical way she had just been looking at Su Zhaozhao had really annoyed him.

It was as if someone was eyeing his treasure. Even though it was another woman, Xie Huaizheng was still not happy.

His possessiveness was inexplicably strong.

Su Zhaozhao placed a large piece of meat on Xie Huaizheng’s plate, placating him. "Alright, alright, honey. We’re married now. Don’t worry, I’m not going to run away."

That single word, "honey," was like a stone dropped into the calm lake of his heart, sending ripples spreading across the surface.

Xie Huaizheng, who had been a little upset because of Li Tiantian, now found his lips curling into an uncontrollable smile.

He also put a large piece of meat on Su Zhaozhao’s plate. "You eat more."

Seeing the two of them speaking so closely and putting food on each other’s plates, the elders present couldn’t help but smile.

They, too, felt a sweetness in their hearts. It seemed that watching other people fall in love was indeed more interesting.

After Li Tiantian came back out, she sat down next to Su Zhaozhao and started chatting with her.

"My name is Li Tiantian. I’m 20 years old and I study at Jiang City University. Summer break started not long ago, but I spent half a month having fun before coming back. What about you?"

"My name is Su Zhaozhao. I’m the same age as you, and I’m from Jiang City."

Li Tiantian grabbed Su Zhaozhao’s hand. "It’s fate!"

But in the next moment, her hand was slapped away fiercely by Xie Huaizheng.
