Wei De told himself that he would immediately ask the Zhai family for Zhai Hua’s hand in marriage once he received some military achievements.

He was a grown-up man. There was no issue if he got married later but Zhai Hua was not young anymore. She was already not a young lady. If he did not find a way to marry her, Zhai Hua would soon be married off to someone else.

“Okay, next time.” Zhai Hua, who was contented as long as she was in love, was truly not anxious or worried at all. She trusted her sense of judgment and further believed in Wei De’s ability.

If Wei De did not wish for a higher status in the army before he could hold his head up openly when facing her parents, she did not even mind all those. She loved Wei De as an individual and Wei De loved her in the same way as well.

However, Zhai Hua could not deny that what Wei De said was true.

Given the status of the Zhai family, it would certainly not do if the status of Wei De, the son-in-law, was too low.

Otherwise, Zhai Hua and Wei De would not have taken Qiao Nan’s case as an experiment to a.s.sess the situation that would be acceptable to Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing.

Compared to Qiao Nan, Wei De was older.

Qiao Nan was a high school student, an outstanding student, and definitely a potential college graduate.

As for Wei De, besides being an experienced junior soldier, he did not have any qualification or other qualities to show.

Even if the Zhai family accepted Qiao Nan, Wei De would need a lot of time and effort to engineer a similar outcome to that of Qiao Nan.

“It’s late. You go back first?” Wei De took a deep breath. His eyes were filled with ambitions.

Although Hua Hua was not a flexible-minded individual, she was right about something.

If he wished to be in Regiment Commander Zhai’s team, he had to improve himself such that he would have areas that Regiment Commander Zhai could appreciate. Otherwise, he would not even be the third Song Yin, let alone the second.

“Okay.” Zhai Hua nodded in disappointment. She had wanted to stay longer with Wei De. She had to leave the army for a mission and Wei De had to attend training sessions in the camp.

Although the time Zhai Hua spent in the camp was much longer than that at home, she did not have a lot of time to be alone with Wei De.

“Hua Hua, for the sake of our future, I’ll definitely work hard and end this situation as soon as possible.” Wei De gave Zhai Hua’s head a rub.

“I trust you.”

When he heard Zhai Hua saying ‘I trust you’, Wei De was filled with motivation. “Then, I’m going back. Hua Hua, take care.”

“Alright, bye.” Zhai Hua did not send Wei De off. A while after Wei De left, she followed suit.

This had been the habit of the two of them. After all, they were in an awkward situation. Thus, to prevent others from knowing, their preventive measures were much better than that of Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan.

When Wei De returned to the army camp, he heard another group of people discussing how lucky Song Yin was this time. Wei De’s expression changed again.

Wei De could not help asking himself that if Regiment Commander Zhai knew he was with Hua Hua, would he have more opportunities, at least more than Song Yin, – in the future?
