Chapter 449: Capturing Mdm Jiang
Translator: Atlas Studios
Jiang Danhe looked at the recruit in front of him speechlessly. How did this person enter the military camp?!
Although he found it very strange, he still finished his work early and went home while it was still daylight.
As soon as he reached the door, the guard at the door saluted him as per normal.
A sneaky figure in the corner saw Jiang Danhe and immediately went in to inform Li Shouji.
Jiang Danhe nodded, acknowledging the guard’s greeting. Then, he stopped in his tracks and took a few steps back.
The guard closest to him swallowed almost imperceptibly.
“Did someone visit the residence today?” “Yes, General.”
Jiang Danhe nodded and continued to ask, “Who is it?”
The guard, who had received instructions from Li Shouji, was trying his best to control the answer that was coming out of his mouth. He had to rack his brains to think of a lie. In that instant, a drop of sweat started trickling down his forehead.
When Jiang Danhe blinked, the guard swiftly wiped the sweat off his forehead.
When the man looked at him again, there was not a single speck on his forehead.
“General, I’m not sure. The deputy general personally brought him in!”
The guard secretly gave himself a thumbs-up for his wit. “That was quite clever. As the saying goes, if a deputy general doesn’t go to hell, who will?’
Jiang Danhe frowned slightly. After telling the guard to continue with his duty, Jiang Danhe walked into the house.
” What is Li Shouji doing? Even the guards are covering for him.”
He wasn’t fooled by the guard’s actions. Everything must have been orchestrated by Li Shouji, so there was no point in confronting the guards. He just had to find the real culprit behind the scenes.
Jiang Danhe, who was not acting according to plan, started walking straight towards Li Shouji’s room.
Inside the room, Li Shouji was in the middle of a conversation with Shu Botong when his sixth sense kicked in. He quickly told Shu Botong to stay inside and not come out.
Then, he closed the door and emerged from the room.
While going down the staircase which led to his room, he bumped into Jiang Danhe.
“Why are you here?!”
Li Shouji was a little surprised by his appearance, but he quickly regained his composure and tried to cover up his surprise. “Haha, so early today?”
Jiang Danhe sized him up and asked, “Did someone come to the residence today?” “Ah, someone has come to surprise you on my behalf.”
With the help of his adept acting skills, Li Shouji coaxed Jiang Danhe back to his room.
Looking at the man’s departing figure, Jiang Danhe’s furrowed brows relaxed.
He was curious to find out what Li Shouji was up to.
He strode to the door and opened it without hesitation. The room was extremely bright, but there was a familiar smell in the air.
Jiang Danhe’s heart skipped a beat as he slowly walked into the house.
Xiaoguo was hiding behind the door, watching the figure that had appeared in front of her. Feeling excited, she quietly approached him. On the count of three, she would pounce on him. It would be best if she could scare him.
Three… two… one!
“Hey ah!”
Xiaoguo’s smile was still hanging on her face, but now she was looking at the wall in front of her face with fright.
The moment she pounced on him, Jiang Danhe instinctively grabbed her and picked her up. However, when he realized who she was, he stopped his actions immediately and hugged her instead with remarkable speed.
“Xiaoguo?!!”
Xiaoguo could hear the disbelief and excitement in his voice.
She was feeling a little confused. Was he trying to throw her over just now?!
Although she was still in his arms now, she still believed that she wasn’t mistaken. If he had not reacted in time, she would be looking at the floor now instead of the wall.
“When did you get here?!” “Can we talk face-to-face?”
Xiaoguo spoke helplessly to the person behind her. Her back was leaning against his chest. Other than the vibrations of her words, she couldn’t feel anything else.
“Oh, okay.”
After Jiang Danhe released her, Xiaoguo tried to turn around, but he didn’t give her a chance to do that. Grabbing her with his big hands, he twirled her into his arms, even before she could look at his face.
“When did you get here? Why didn’t you inform me? Is this another surprise?”
Jiang Danhe looked at her with a smile. He liked this surprise very much.
Looking at Xiaoguo, he felt like a lost eagle that had finally found its nest. He wished that he could stay by her side forever and never separate from her ever again.
“We arrived this morning. It’s pretty apparent that the surprise had almost turned into a scare.”
Xiaoguo was overjoyed by Jiang Danhe’s reaction. It felt so sweet to be missed by the person that she was missing.
But somehow, surprises seemed to have a grudge against her. Why hadn’t any of her surprises turned out as planned? The outcomes were always different from what she had imagined.
However, it didn’t matter. The process wasn’t important. At least the outcome was still perfect.
Xiaoguo smiled contentedly and reached out to hug him back, while listening quietly to the heartbeat that was pounding against his chest.
The atmosphere between the two of them was wonderful, but they seemed to have forgotten something.
Zhuang Zhuang’s legs were turning numb from waiting behind the other door. He still couldn’t find the chance to make his appearance.
He was supposed to appear with his mother just now, but there was a slight delay due to his shorter limbs. At the same time, he happened to see his father swift grabbing actions. Somehow, his legs reacted faster than his brain, so he retreated behind the door first.
His small arm could break if his father grabbed him like that.
The few people outside the door were also waiting for an opportunity. Their legs were turning numb from squatting, but they still couldn’t find a chance to rush out.
Moreover, the few of them seemed to have realized something—it didn’t matter if they appeared or not, because no one really cared.
The group was now peeking into the room from behind the door. As they watched the couple hugging each other, they felt really helpless.
“Xiaoguo (Sister), this is quite different from our plan. Stop hugging each other…” “Cough, cough.”
In the end, Li Shouji coughed a few times to remind the two people in the room.
“Oh, right.” Xiaoguo blushed and quickly pushed Jiang Danhe away while calling out in the direction of the other door, “Zhuang Zhuang, come out.” “Father…”
When Zhuang Zhuang heard his name, he was delighted. It was finally time for him to make his appearance!
The little guy pushed open the door and ran out, heading straight for Jiang Danhe. The other party picked him up and kissed his round little face.
“My dear son!”
Jiang Danhe had to declare that today was his lucky day. It was such a happy occasion.
Zhuang Zhuang also hugged him back and rubbed against his cheeks. Then, he pointed outside with a smile and said, “There are more people!”
Jiang Danhe looked out curiously. When the group appeared from behind the door, his eyes lit up and he smiled happily at them.
Earlier on, when he heard the news that there were visitors at the residence, he did feel a tinge of anticipation. He was wondering if Xiaoguo and her friends had come. But in the end, he dismissed the thought.
When he got home, Li Shouji’s reaction made him feel puzzled and expectant.
Fortunately, the outcome did not disappoint him. No, it turned out to be the most joyous occasion.
“That’s awesome! I’m so happy that you guys are here!” “Brother-in-law, are you happy to see us, or Sister Xiaoguo?”
Ruyi placed her hands behind her back and walked around to Xiaoguo’s side with a smile.
After saying that, she gently pushed her towards Jiang Danhe.
Jiang Danhe pulled Xiaoguo into his arms and said with flushed ears, “1 am happy to see everyone!”
Despite saying that, the way he hugged his sweetheart was his most truthful answer to Ruyi’s question.
When the others saw this, they all exclaimed in unison. Everyone knew what was going on—he was more glad to see Sister Xiaoguo than anyone else.
Everyone burst out laughing. Xiaoguo thought it was funny too, so she gave him a gentle nudge.
Unexpectedly, this little gesture was noticed by a few sharp-eyed individuals, and it triggered another round wave of teasing.
Xiaoguo was thin-skinned to begin with. At this moment, she was just short of writing the words “I’m shy” on her face. However, the few of them still refused to let her off and continued teasing her. They must make her pay for forgetting about them earlier on.
For a moment, laughter filled the entire mansion.
The general’s residence was bustling with activity again after a long time. Now that the mistress of the residence had returned, the atmosphere in the residence had become warm and lively again..
