Chapter 442 One is blessed, the other brings good fortune to her husband.
Gu Nan rode his bicycle towards the city.
Su Niannian hugged Gu Nan's lean waist, her small face pressed against Gu Nan's back.
The weather was still a bit muggy during the day, but it got a little better during this time of day.
Every now and then, a gentle breeze would blow by.
Although I could feel the warmth, I was still very happy to be with the person I liked.
Gu Nan could feel the warmth of Su Niannian's body as she leaned against him.
Just riding their bicycles like that, the two of them both spontaneously revealed a smile.
Su Niannian felt that Gu Nan's back was strong, and leaning against it made her feel very safe.
As Gu Nan felt the little girl leaning against him, he also felt that life was simply too wonderful.
Heaven has been incredibly kind to me.
The journey took more than an hour, but because of the long summer days, it was just getting dark.
There's no need to use a flashlight.
Soon, the two arrived at the state-run restaurant that Hiroshi Wada had arranged to meet.
Gu Nan parked the bicycle, locked it, and pulled Su Niannian by the wrist as they went into the restaurant.
As soon as the two stepped through the door, they saw familiar faces at a large table at the far end.
At that time, the tables in the state-run restaurant were not very big, so because there were many people, two tables were put together.
By this time, quite a few people were already seated.
Hiroshi Arita, Qishan Zhou, several of Commander Lu's capable subordinates, and even that Brigade Commander Wang.
When Gu Nan saw that Brigade Commander Wang was also there, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
It was a very subtle expression, but Su Niannian noticed it.
Su Niannian could clearly feel Gu Nan tighten his grip on her wrist.
"What's wrong?" Su Niannian asked Gu Nan in a low voice, tilting her head up.
“Wang Youyou’s father,” Gu Nan replied in a similarly low voice.
“Wang Youyou…” Su Niannian murmured, and the image of a woman instantly appeared in Su Niannian’s mind.
Isn't Wang Youyou the same green tea girl that Gu Nan took her to see at the arts performance?
"Her father," Su Niannian couldn't help but smile.
"Is Wang Youyou's father, He Tian Guangzhi, very familiar with him?" Su Niannian asked Gu Nan.
Gu Nan thought for a moment. When he was still in the army, the two of them were not familiar with each other. But since he had been away from the army for so long, maybe they had become closer while he was away?
Gu Nan was unsure, so he truthfully told Su Niannian, "We weren't close before, and I'm not sure now..."
"Oh!" Upon hearing Gu Nan's words, Su Niannian placed her other hand on Gu Nan's hand to indicate that he was alright.
Over there, Zhou Qishan saw Gu Nan and Su Niannian arrive, but they stood at the door whispering to each other.
He kicked Tian Guangzhi under the table.
"Look at that young couple, how sweet they are! They always have secrets to share." Zhou Qishan said with a hint of envy.
As Xiaoxiao spoke, Tian Guangzhi followed Zhou Qishan's gaze and looked over.
He got up and walked over. "You two, you should have gone over there already. Instead, you were just standing at the door being all lovey-dovey. It's really... unbearable to watch," Tian Guangzhi said as he came over.
It was obvious that they were teasing Gu Nan.
I thought Gu Nan would be shy, but instead he just smiled generously.
"Damn! You've been smiling ever since you got a wife." Tian Guangzhi hadn't even finished speaking.
Gu Nan had already pulled Su Niannian's wrist and walked over there.
There was only one empty seat left, so Gu Nan moved an empty chair from the side and placed it next to the empty seat.
"Commander Gu, aren't you going to introduce him?" Gu Nan had just put down his chair when a familiar comrade spoke up with a sly grin.
As he spoke, he took a closer look at Su Niannian.
The little girl looks very young, but she's really beautiful.
Gu Nan was also lucky. He heard that this girl was a sent-down youth who actually found a rough man in the countryside and married him.
However, this young lady is also a lucky charm for her husband, after all, after they got married, Gu Nan actually resumed his military service and returned to the army.
He was once a legend in the military, the youngest regimental commander in the unit, and in his eyes, he still had a bright future.
Therefore, he also wanted to build a good relationship with Gu Nan.
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan smiled and gently placed his right hand on Su Niannian's back.
"This is my lover, Su Niannian." Gu Nan rarely smiled in front of such a stranger.
He proudly introduced Su Niannian's identity.
They felt as if they had gotten a great deal, and were very proud and honored.
Of course, Gu Nan did feel like he had gotten a great deal by marrying Su Niannian.
The smile reached his eyes.
This caused those who hadn't seen Gu Nan smile much to be momentarily stunned.
"Hello everyone!" Su Niannian greeted with a cheerful smile.
Although Su Niannian looks quite young, she is very poised and composed in her every move.
Yet she retains the liveliness and genuineness of a young girl.
It does give people a refreshing feeling.
"Brother Gu is so lucky."
"Yo yo yo, the ancient ice block has melted."
"Yes, you can see him smiling."
"Old Dong, pinch me! I always thought our Commander Gu couldn't smile."
"Quick! Let your sister-in-law sit down, don't let her stand."
Tian Guangzhi also came over and gestured for Su Niannian and Gu Nan to sit down.
Su Niannian's position is with Zhou Qishan to her left and Gu Nan to her right.
When Gu Nan added the chair, he deliberately placed it next to Zhou Qishan.
Tian Guangzhi also wanted to sit next to Gu Nan, so he patted the shoulder of one of the brothers sitting next to Gu Nan, signaling him to change seats.
The man took his wine glass and switched places with Tian Guangzhi.
"We've already ordered one round of food. What else would you two like to eat?" Tian Guangzhi asked Gu Nan and Su Niannian after sitting down.
Gu Nan looked at Su Niannian, his gaze asking if there was anything she wanted to eat.
Su Niannian simply smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was fine with it.
Soon, all the ordered dishes were served. Since everyone was a family, they all started eating.
Gu Nan picked up some of Su Niannian's favorite foods.
There were people Su Niannian had never met before, and Gu Nan was afraid she would be too shy to eat.
However, Gu Nan was overthinking it. Since Su Niannian became pregnant, she has had a great appetite and wouldn't be shy about picking up food.
Su Niannian had just eaten a piece of braised pork when she noticed a scrutinizing gaze coming from one direction of the dining table.
Su Niannian looked up and saw Wang Youyou's father looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
Su Niannian felt a little uncomfortable, but after all, he was an elder, and his official rank was higher than Gu Nan's, so Su Niannian could only respond with a generous smile.
When Su Niannian smiled like that, Brigade Commander Wang was somewhat surprised.
Given her status and presence, it was quite remarkable that the young girl acted so confidently and without any timidity.
