Chapter 569: Chapter 569 - Rumors After Divorce_1

Seeing He Teng nod and say okay before turning to leave, He Zhilan suddenly called out his name, asking, "Am I going to be alone here at the guesthouse tonight? Won’t you stay with me?"

"If you’re afraid of the dark, leave the light on. If you’re worried about safety, you don’t need to be. This is a military base." He Teng replied without even looking back. Then he gently closed the door for He Zhilan and hastily left the guesthouse.

Looking at the closed door, He Zhilan sighed, He Mutou really was He Mutou. She speculated that He Teng must be questioning why she had come to find him at the base after their divorce.

He Zhilan didn’t know if He Teng would also retract the tiny bit of affection he still held for her as he lost trust in her.

He treated her now just as one would respectfully treat a divorced ex-wife. Were it not for the fact that she was still a daughter of the He family, He Zhilan didn’t doubt that love him could have been denied entry into the base after the divorce.

That night was the first time He Zhilan stayed alone in the guesthouse at the base. The two previous times, they had stayed in the same room. This time, however, she was in a new, unfamiliar room. She wasn’t sure if this was intentional or not.

Nevertheless, she truly felt ill at ease.

On a night like this, being with He Teng, having him, a natural heater, by her side, would have been such a wonderful thing. With an empty spot in bed, she would feel insecure. Hugging him, her human furnace, she would sleep soundly all night long.

When He Teng returned to the dorm, Kang Xing and Niu Rang were still waiting up for him. As soon as they heard noises at the door, they immediately rolled over to the door. He Teng, sensing someone’s presence, quickly pushed Niu Rang and Kang Xing onto the door, "What’s with the sneaky behavior at this hour of the night?"

"No, no, Commander, we’re not ambushing you. We were just excited to see you return! Your wife’s here, right? You brought her back to the base, so why did you come back?" Kang Xing’s face was squashed against the door, immobile, but it did not stop his eagerness to know about his sister-in-law, "Commander, did you just leave her alone at the guesthouse? She’s a girl, alone there, she’ll be scared!"

"What sister-in-law? The commander’s divorced! They’re no longer a couple, it’s inappropriate if they sleep together!" After Niu Rang finished speaking, he smiled at He Teng, "Commander, let go~ It’s uncomfortable to talk like this."

He Teng released his grip, took a glance at the two of them, casually walked to his bed, took off his coat, climbed into bed, and didn’t utter a word.

"Commander, why did you divorce your wife? She’s such a good girl, beautiful, educated, gentle, and always smiling at everyone. Your divorce is your loss." Now that he was free, Kang Xing followed He Teng and kept grumbling. When he saw He Teng ignoring him, he directly lifted He Teng’s covers and crawled into his bed, "Commander..."

Kang Xing, who kept prattling on, was getting ready to continue, but after he called out the word "Commander", the next second, he was kicked off the bed by He Teng.

"If you’re not going to sleep, you can go run a few laps."

In the darkness, He Teng’s voice was as chilling to Kang Xing as a cold gust of wind blowing from a deep, icy abyss.
