Chapter 328: Rumours (7) (1/2)

As Xiaoyan stood behind Chu Lian obediently, the corner of her mouth curled up.

Wenlan’s eyes widened. She bit her lip as she tried to control her anger.

The atmosphere turned awkward in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, Chu Lian smiled. In a carefree manner, she said, “What are you standing around all dazed for? Let’s go!”

The adjutant quickly added, “Yes, let’s go. It’s cold outside, and it looks like it’s about to start snowing hard. We should return to the tents to warm up.”

As if they hadn’t noticed the party over there at all, the female soldiers in front of the tent continued busying themselves with their chores. While washing the clothes, they even happily chatted amongst each other, occasionally bursting into peals of laughter.

The male adjutant’s rank wasn’t very high. These female soldiers were also General Sima’s subordinates. Even if they bumped into each other on normal days, both the Left Wing and the Right Wing would have to give way to them. He didn’t have any authority to chase those female soldiers away.

Wenqing’s expression turned cold. She was about to go up and reprimand them, but Chu Lian held her back with one raised hand.

“Our general treats Captain He really well!”

“Isn’t that so? Captain He risked his life to save our general the last time they were on the frontlines. It’s only right that our general treats him well.”

“And I couldn’t tell before, but Captain He is so skilled!”

“If you ask me, Captain He and our general are the most perfect match for each other. They were both born in military families. Our general can even assist Captain He in the future.”

“But I heard Captain He is already married?”
