“I’m not sure about the duration this time. It might be an extended stay,” Lu Hao explained. He didn’t have a set vacation period this time, as he was on standby for further arrangements.
“Perhaps your family is pressuring you to get married? Are you back this time for a blind date?” Luo Zishen speculated.
Upon hearing Luo Zishen’s words, Lu Hao chuckled and replied, “Brother Zishen, you’re still unmarried. 1 am in no hurry.”
Luo Zishen found himself momentarily speechless.
“Cough, cough.” Luo Ziyan took a sip of water. Upon hearing Lu Hao’s words, he choked and coughed a few times.
Luo Ziyan’s reaction drew the attention of the other three.
Luo Ziyan glanced at the perplexed expressions of Xiao Yichen and Lu Hao and then at his brother’s enigmatic look. He hurriedly clarified, “Lu Hao is correct.”
He gazed at Luo Zishen and added, “So, Zishen, if my dad urges me to marry again, please speak up on my behalf!”
“It’s none of my concern,” Luo Zishen retorted and continued eating.
Luo Ziyan sighed in exasperation. He then turned to Lu Hao and said, “Lu Hao, though you’re not in a hurry, Yichen has been married for some time.”
After this remark, Luo Ziyan shot Xiao Yichen a mischievous grin as if he were quite pleased with himself.
Xiao Yichen responded coldly, “How does my marriage concern you?”
Luo Ziyan was taken aback. He moved his lips but couldn’t find the right words to reply.
Was it related to him? It didn’t connect to him, yet he was grinning just now. Why was he so delighted? It appeared to be because he thought of Lin Wan.
Upon seeing that Luo Ziyan was caught off guard, Lu Hao smiled and stepped in to help him. “1 should have invited Yichen to bring his wife along today.”
He wasn’t surprised to learn that Yichen was married. A charismatic and outstanding man like him was bound to have a concealed marriage.
However, he was curious about the kind of woman who had captured his brother’s heart.
As he contemplated this, Lu Hao thought of the girl he remembered.
Although they had lived in the same neighborhood for only three years as children, he held onto those memories in his heart. He remembered her beauty, her smile, her vibrant innocence, and her… adorable cuteness!
He wondered how she was doing now. Has she gotten married?
If not, he was determined to express his love to her.
“She’s working today,” Xiao Yichen continued where Lu Hao left off. At the mention of his beloved, a spark of joy lit up his heart. He continued, “I’ll bring her to the gathering next time.”
Wan’er, Brother Zishen, and Ziyan already knew each other. So, when the four brothers gathered in the future, and he brought her along, she probably wouldn’t refuse. She just needed to get acquainted with Lu Hao. Lin Wan wasn’t particularly shy.
“Sounds great! I look forward to it,” Lu Hao nodded.
Luo Ziyan’s awkwardness faded, and he started a serious conversation with Lu Hao. “By the way, Lu Hao, are you on leave or have work-related arrangements?”
“It’s a kind of leave, but I have some official matters to attend to at the government in the coming days. After that, I’ll have some free time,” Lu Hao explained to Luo Ziyan.
Upon hearing Lu Hao’s response, Luo Ziyan nodded and continued, “Oh, so you’ll have more free time shortly.”
“Not really. I have some personal matters to attend to afterward,” Lu Hao said.
“Personal matters?” Luo Ziyan repeated, puzzled. He had always seen Lu Hao as a disciplined soldier.. What personal matters could there be?
