Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 439 - Chapter 439 Chapter 438 How Could He Get Married

Chapter 439: Chapter 438: How Could He Get Married? Chapter 439: Chapter 438: How Could He Get Married? Su Shu heard this and realized that Tang Zelin was about to steer the conversation off course. She quickly moved forward to take the wine glass from his hand, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. I’m not pregnant yet, where would we get a son from?”

“Tsk–” a chorus of jeers followed.

Tang Zelin glanced around the small circle, “What, planning on it, and it’s not allowed?”

“It’s allowed!” Another chorus of jeers erupted, and everyone broke into laughter.

A member of Fire Phoenix shouted from afar, “Shouldn’t our sister-in-law not drink even a single cup of wine?”

“Forget it, let’s not make sister-in-law drink. She’s delicate and tender, not like us rough and uncouth women.”

“Exactly, sister-in-law, we’ve been presumptuous! Don’t take offense!”

Despite the apparent good intentions in their words, they somehow sounded quite unpleasant to the ear.

These backhanded compliments were not lost on Su Shu; indeed, everyone present was carefully selected for their intelligence.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment. The people from Fire Phoenix were openly targeting her, while the Wild Wolf team members who had initially agreed to include them felt a bit uncomfortable.

Some team members bowed their heads to fiddle with their food and drink. A group of men, they had no experience dealing with this sort of silent but deadly confrontation between women.

Moreover, none of the women from Fire Phoenix were pushovers.

Tang Zelin narrowed his eyes slightly, the smile at the corner of his lips deepening, “Yeah, my wife is delicate and young. You can’t bully her in front of me, alright?”

No one expected Tang Zelin to pick up on that cue, and for a moment, the faces of the few Fire Phoenix team members who had spoken flashed with embarrassment.

Xu Ye’s heart felt sour and uncomfortable.

In her memory, Tang Zelin had always been a god of war, exceptional in ability, cool in handling matters. On the battlefield, he was like a king, wherever he went, every difficult problem would be solved.

Having once been her instructor during boot camp, it could be said that her achievements today were all thanks to his training.

On the training field, known as the grim reaper with a cold face, yet off the field, he was always like a steady brother. Xu Ye had always had a crush on Tang Zelin.

Whether it was during her days training with Wild Wolf or occasionally collaborating after leaving the team.

This affection for him lay hidden in Xu Ye’s heart. Each time they met, she would probe into his romantic life, asking whether his family, given he was an only son, was pressing him to marry.

But Tang Zelin always seemed disinterested in love or family life.

He would say he just wanted to stay in the military his whole life, and that living a single life was not so bad.

So she buried that affection deep in her heart.

He was so outstanding that sometimes Xu Ye felt she was not good enough for him, which is why she worked so hard in Fire Phoenix–to one day stand before him just as strong and confess her feelings.

But in the blink of an eye, how did he get married?

She hadn’t even confessed her affection yet, why had he married?

He didn’t even give her a chance for fair competition, and she felt bitter about it.

She couldn’t see what was so good about this frail girl before her, besides having a prettier face.

There were plenty of women soldiers in the Cultural Work Team who had crushes on Tang Zelin and were more attractive than her, yet Tang Zelin never gave them a second glance.

How had he suddenly married her?

Xu Ye was unwilling to admit that the tenderness and natural intimacy Tang Zelin showed towards his wife came from his affection for her.
