Opening his eyes, he was in the 60th Military Region, mistook the person for someone else, and was k

Chapter 323 Is that your unpleasant romantic encounter?

When she said this, Xu Sui showed no guilt whatsoever. She even looked at Qin Yunzhou with anticipation in her eyes, blinking her big, watery almond-shaped eyes.

Qin Yunzhou was slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening and couldn't help but hug the person in his arms tightly.

"Really? You even brought me a gift?"

This was the first time he had received a gift from Xu Sui after so many years of marriage.

How could he not be excited? He almost thought he had misheard.

Xu Sui nodded seriously, blinked, and then spoke nonsense with a straight face.

"Of course it's true, would I lie to you?"

"I picked this out especially for you. Although I brought gifts for other people, none of their gifts were as thoughtful as yours."

"Hurry up and guess."

Qin Yunzhou actually thought about it carefully. In all the years they had been married, Xu Sui had never picked out any gifts for him.

There really wasn't any reference available at the moment.

However, he had seen Xu Sui pick out gifts for her mother-in-law and his parents.

Basically, it's either clothes, shoes, or something like face cream.

"I guess... clothes or shoes?" Qin Yunzhou thought for a moment and said.

Xu Sui shook her head. "No, guess again."

"If it's not clothes and shoes, then what is it?" Qin Yunzhou glanced at his fair and beautiful wife in his arms, his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.

However, he hadn't shaved much these days, and some bluish stubble had sprouted, which was a bit prickly.

The prick stung Xu Sui's face, and she instinctively avoided it, pushing Qin Yunzhou's chest instead. "Ouch~"

"You should shave."

He looked at the small patch of fair skin on his wife's face that had been poked red by his beard.

"I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time." A hint of annoyance flashed in Qin Yunzhou's eyes.

He adjusted his beard, trying his best to avoid letting it touch Xu Sui.

"It's okay, keep guessing. Guess one more time, and I'll give you the gift no matter if you're right or wrong." Xu Sui sat on Qin Yunzhou's lap, adjusting her posture to make herself more comfortable.

Qin Yunzhou thought about it again, but still couldn't figure it out. So he shook his head, gently squeezed Xu Sui's palm, playing with her slender, fair fingers, and sighed:

"I can't guess."

"Alright, alright, if you can't guess, then forget it."

Xu Sui struggled to stand up from Qin Yunzhou's embrace, took out the black underwear from the cloth bag beside her, and handed it directly to the man.

"This is a gift I specially prepared for you."

"Am I good to you? Aren't I very attentive? Aren't I special?"

"Of all the gifts, yours is the only one that is intimate clothing. I bought all the other gifts on a whim, but yours is different; I carefully selected it."

"So, do you like it?"

Qin Yunzhou looked at the black underwear in his hand, forcibly suppressing the joy in his heart. He looked up and took a deep look at Xu Sui, his expression softening slightly, and nodded seriously.

"Yes, I like it very much."

He never expected that his wife would give him a pair of underwear.

He usually wears military uniform in the army, so there's no need to buy him clothes or shoes.

Underwear, however, is acceptable.

This gift is indeed very special and thoughtful.

It's obvious that my wife bought it with care; no wonder she made him keep guessing.

Xu Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief; she had finally gotten through this hurdle. Her voice softened slightly.

"As long as you like it."

"If you like it, I'll buy you a new one next time I go on a business trip."

Anyway, this thing isn't expensive, it won't cost much.

At this moment, Xu Sui remembered something else, and her expression gradually became serious. She cleared her throat.

"By the way, do you know someone named Li Xia?"

Li Xia even went to see Lu Xiaoya and tried to sow discord between them; nothing seemed right.

Let's hope she doesn't actually cause any trouble later.

She's very busy right now. The factory is still in its early stages, and she has to handle many things personally. She really doesn't have time to manage these matters in the family compound.

"Li Xia?" Qin Yunzhou neatly folded the black underwear that Xu Sui had bought for him and put it in a cloth bag next to him.

He thought about it carefully for a long time, and felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for the time being. He was a little puzzled as to why Xu Sui asked him about this person.

"Is Li Xia a family member of someone living in the residential compound?"

Xu Sui glanced at Qin Yunzhou and said, "I don't know either, that's why I came to ask you."

"She is Yan Yan and Yao Yao's teacher. Before, when you were away on a mission, this Teacher Li deliberately slandered Yao Yao for stealing things from other children."

"I happened to witness it, and the matter was only resolved after it reached the school principal."

At this point, Xu Sui paused, then glanced at Qin Yunzhou again.

"But I always felt that Li Xia treated you differently."

"The two children said that Li Xia is nicer to Yan Yan, but seems to be somewhat cold and distant towards Yao Yao."

Upon hearing that she was the teacher of two children, Qin Yunzhou immediately remembered her.

"I know who you're talking about. Come to think of it, I'm the one who helped her get her job."

Upon hearing this, Xu Sui was stunned for a moment and almost didn't react.

Why did you help her get a job?

"She's not really some unwanted romantic interest you had outside, is she? That's why you got her a job, isn't it?"

There are very few jobs available for ordinary people in the military, so it's not easy to find one.

Thinking of this, Xu Sui felt a pang of sadness and a sense of unease. She subconsciously distanced herself from Qin Yunzhou, keeping a safe distance from him.

If things were really as she thinks, then she probably wouldn't be able to live like this anymore.

"No, what are you thinking? Don't misunderstand." Qin Yunzhou's observation skills were extremely sharp. After all, he was a soldier, and his abilities were definitely not lacking. How could he not have noticed Xu Sui's subtle movements?

He immediately explained, moved a little closer to Xu Sui, sat down next to her, and hugged her in his arms, gently coaxing her.

"This happened many years ago, before we got married, and I don't remember this person right now."

"Li Xia was once the wife of a battalion commander under my command who had long since died. Her husband died, leaving her and her child as orphans, and life was not easy for her."

"I vaguely remember something. Not long after she came to join the army, her husband got into trouble. As her superior, I definitely had to resolve this matter."

"Initially, we wanted to send them, the widow and her child, back to their hometown and give them a sum of compensation, but their hometown didn't recognize them at all. They even said she was a jinx and stole the compensation money."

"There was really no other way. They were an orphan and a widow, and they couldn't survive in their hometown at all. In the end, I had no choice but to bring them back to the military base to take care of them."

"But as a grown man, I can't always take care of a woman. After thinking it over, I decided to find Li Xia a job in the army."

Xu Sui was held in the man's arms, and after hearing his explanation, she gradually calmed down.
