Chapter 486 Returning Home Late, Because Wang Youyou Made a Move
"Mom, you go back and rest first. I'll wait for you. If he doesn't come back, I'll go inside and sleep."
Gu's mother pulled a chair over to Su Niannian's side.
She wanted to stay with Su Niannian and wait for Gu Nan to return.
But Su Niannian refused, saying, "Mom, why don't you go back and rest first!"
"I'll be going back to my room in a bit," Su Niannian said with a smile.
Gu's mother glanced at Su Niannian. Anyway, they were in the military family compound, so there was nothing unsafe about it.
After giving them some instructions, I went back to my room.
Gu's mother returned to her room and looked at the wall clock; it was almost ten o'clock.
"It must be work that's keeping you up. Don't worry," Mr. Gu said, trying to reassure Mrs. Gu as she looked at the clock upon her return.
Then he looked at Gu Ningning and Yangyang beside him.
They were already asleep.
That's how children's biological clocks work; their eyelids start to droop when it's time to fall asleep.
Neither Gu Zhendong nor Zhao Tian were sleeping in their room, and they would occasionally look towards the yard.
Just as the clock was about to strike eleven, and Su Niannian was getting a little anxious, a light appeared outside the courtyard.
Gu Nan is back.
Su Niannian quickly got up and went to greet her.
When Su Niannian saw Gu Nan appear at the door, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Gu Nan arrived at the courtyard gate, he saw his little girl running towards him, so he quickly took two steps forward and hugged Su Niannian.
The two of them didn't speak and hugged each other for a while.
At this moment, in Gu's mother's room, in Gu Zhendong's room, they saw that Gu Nan had returned safely.
They didn't intend to come out and ask anything, but silently turned off the lights.
It's good that everyone's back and everything's alright. Let's give the young couple some time.
After hugging for a while, Su Niannian finally let go of Gu Nan's arms.
Su Niannian pouted and looked at Gu Nan with a happy expression.
Gu Nan quickly comforted Su Niannian.
"It's so late, why are you waiting here?" Gu Nan said with some concern.
Didn't I already send someone back to inform them that I would be back late tonight?
"What else could it be? It's because my dog of a man doesn't come home at night!" Su Niannian said, somewhat angrily.
At this moment, Su Niannian also noticed that Gu Nan was not wearing the military uniform he had worn that morning, but rather civilian clothes.
"Didn't I ask Lao Dong to come and tell you that I would be back later?" Gu Nan frowned.
“Old Dong? I’ve never met any Old Dong,” Su Niannian replied.
However, we can also tell from Gu Nan's words that he sent someone to inform us that he was late.
But I stayed at home the whole time and didn't see Lao Dong come to inform me.
Looking at Su Niannian's expression, Gu Nan knew that Old Dong hadn't come to relay the message at all.
Gu Nan's expression noticeably darkened.
Seeing this, Su Niannian knew something was wrong, but she was glad that her man had returned safely!
As for what it is, we'll find out soon enough by asking.
"Are you hungry?" Su Niannian asked.
At that moment, Gu Nan's stomach made an inopportune rumbling sound.
Su Niannian didn't have time to dwell on why Gu Nan came back so late.
As long as everyone is alright, that's all that matters. Hearing Gu Nan's stomach rumbling, Su Niannian turned around and went to the kitchen.
Gu Nan hurriedly followed her inside, worried that his wife might get tired.
"The food in the big pot is still warm. Let me see if it's gotten cold." Su Niannian pretended to lift the lid of the big pot.
Gu Nan was the first to pick up the pot lid.
It's still warm inside.
"It's not cold," Gu Nan said.
"You go back to your room first, I'll get it to my room myself," Gu Nan said to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian nodded and responded, but remained standing in the kitchen without moving.
Gu Nan placed the warm food on a tray.
Holding the tray, he gestured for Su Niannian to go back to the room together.
Su Niannian and Gu Nan went back to their room together. As soon as the food was placed on the table, Gu Nan hugged Su Niannian again.
"I'm sorry to have worried you. I did ask Lao Dong to come and relay my message."
"I came back late today because Wang Youyou's side intervened," Gu Nan wanted to explain to Su Niannian immediately.
But Su Niannian knew that Gu Nan must be hungry, so she told Gu Nan to eat first.
Gu Nan had no choice but to let go of Su Niannian and start eating.
Gu Nan wielded his chopsticks swiftly as he shoveled rice into his mouth.
"Slow down!" Su Niannian said, pouring Gu Nan a glass of water.
Gu Nan then slowed down.
After Gu Nan finished eating, Su Niannian continued to listen to what Gu Nan had to say.
In fact, from the moment Gu Nan mentioned that Wang Youyou had made a move, Su Niannian's gossipy heart had been burning brightly.
But between listening to gossip and Gu Nan going hungry, Su Niannian chose the latter.
Now that we've finished our meal and are full, it's time to listen to the gossip.
"Today, when I was leaving get off work, a few buddies came over and said they wanted to get together and have dinner..."
It turned out that when Gu Nan was about to leave work today, a few familiar friends came over and said they wanted to go out for dinner together that night.
Gu Nan had originally planned to come back and pick up Su Niannian together.
But something seemed off; the person hosting the dinner was none other than Brigade Commander Wang.
Thinking about what Wang Defa and Wang Youyou had planned before, Gu Nan felt disgusted.
I declined the invitation to dinner.
But all that came were a few familiar comrades-in-arms, and they dragged and pulled them along by force.
I thought I should come back and tell Su Niannian first, then I could still make it to the next place.
When Brigade Commander Wang arrived, he made some sarcastic remarks, saying that as a man, one shouldn't take women too seriously.
That's not very manly of you.
In that case, it really doesn't matter to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan felt it was only right for him to report his actions to Su Niannian.
He already has everything he needs, why does he need to save face?
As a result, Gu Nan insisted on going home first to tell Su Niannian before going.
As a result, Lao Dong said that he would come to the Gu family to inform Gu Nan on Gu Nan's behalf.
Gu Nan had no doubts, after all, he and Lao Dong had a life-or-death friendship.
Gu Nan originally wanted to take Su Niannian with him, but he was afraid that the two people there might do something bad to Su Niannian if they were desperate.
I figured it would be better to go by myself.
He let Lao Dong help him inform Su Niannian, and then he went with his comrades.
The place they went to was a courtyard house owned by Wang Defa in Beijing.
Although it's just a single courtyard, the space is quite large, with several rooms.
The interior decoration is also very nice; it's not the same place as Wang Defa's house that Gu Nan visited before leaving the army.
After the group sat down, food was quickly served.
Wang Defa said that he had found a familiar chef to cook the meal at his home, and everyone was free to eat.
Moreover, Wang Defa had prepared a considerable amount of alcohol.
They were already eating when Old Dong finally went over there.
Old Dong smiled and said to Gu Nan, "I've already notified you. Your young wife was quite upset when she heard I was telling her you'd be home late."
