Part Three, Chapter 73: Mutual Understanding

Tinglan felt a little guilty, afraid that Lan Xiaoshan would discover their relationship.Lanshaoshan took the initiative to greet Zhu Yunan, only to hear Zhu Yunan say“Nice to meet you, I hope we have..."Yes " 。"Chen Ling did not deny it, but she didn't want to explain anything either." 。There's a significant difference in their social status, and both of them work in such sensitive positions. It wouldn't be wise to make a high-profile relationship public. If they truly want to go public, it would be more appropriate for him to do so. 。Tao Kaiyan remained silent all the way, these things, as long as you pay attention, you can see clues. A long time ago, Song Jingye came to the unit to look for Chen Linghui, and she received him. At that time, she didn't know Song Jingye's identity; later, during foreign affairs activities, she acted as Song Jingye's translator. His unintentional gaze at Chen Linghui made her vaguely guess their relationship; then again when she went to training camp, Song Jingye was strict with her on the surface, but he carefully protected her every time they partnered up for a mission; today, seeing that Jeep again, she remembered that she had received it several times before. 。Tao Kaiyan was very strange. When did she meet Song Jingye

They were graduate school classmates and lived together for almost 3 years. As far as she knew, Chen Ning's social circle was very simple, the most impressive resume being her participation in a volunteer organization during college >>> 。After they stepped out of the elevator, Tao Kaiyan asked again, "Have you submitted your travel application report for the overseas visit"

"I have." 。Chen Ning has been so focused on the border conflict lately that she almost forgot about this. 。

“A decision should be made by tomorrow.” 。Tao Kaiyan was also looking forward to it. This visit was attended by high-level officials, a rare opportunity, and she actively submitted her application materials. 。The competition between the two people has never stopped, from graduate school to work. 。

Chen Ling's approach is to embrace competition with an attitude of mutual growth. Having a rival can also be a driving force for progress. 。

While Tao Kaiyan's state of mind was rather subtle. 。If the same opportunity were given to a third person, she could accept it calmly. But if it were given to Chen Linghui, she would feel a bit uneasy. 。Due to this delicate relationship, it's difficult for them to truly connect and become close friends. 。At noon, I received a message from Song Jingye saying that we would be going back to the Song family for dinner together in the evening. This time it was an invitation from his family, and he must bring me along. 。After replying with a good, she suddenly felt nervous. Though they had met several times before, this time was different because she was going as his girlfriend. 。She asked, "What do your parents like I'm going to go shopping before work today." 。"They like the same things as I do. " 。She asked again, “What do you like”Song Jingye didn't reply, just sent a string of ellipses. 。Chen Ning waited foolishly for his reply, and after a while, when he still hadn't responded, she chased him again: "Come on, tell me so I can get ready..." 。"I like you" 。Chen Ling replied. 。Smiling foolishly with my phone in hand, the tension vanished instantly. 。Song Jingye replied, “Your presence is the best gift.” 。I'll wait for you to get off work and we can go buy a bouquet of flowers together. That should be enough. 。"good 。After work, Song Jingye took her to the flower shop he had bought flowers from before. 。He stood out so much that even after over a month, the clerk still remembered him and greeted him warmly with,

"Sir, are you buying flowers for your girlfriend again"

Chen Ning caught the key point, "Again" He had bought flowers for his girlfriend Which girlfriend was he talking about She had never received flowers from him. 。Song Jingye replied to the clerk: "Yes, the same as last time." 。"After the clerk had wrapped the flowers, he gave Chen Ning a meaningful look and, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, handed her the bouquet: "This is for you." 。。He stated outright 。Chen Ling was a little amused and confused, not sure whether to be happy or angry. 。Turning around, Song Jingye asked the shop assistant, "What kind of flowers would be suitable for sending to mother"

"Generally speaking, carnations are a good choice" 。Then, let's go with carnations. 。Song Jingye was quick to get things done. He bought two bouquets of flowers and didn't make Chen Ning worry about it. 。Upon arriving at his house, Chen Ling returned her own bouquet to the car, carrying only the carnation downstairs. "Will this be too simple" "No, they dislike those elaborate formalities at home. The simpler, the better." 。Chen Ning's return was still a bit nervous, but fortunately, they had met several times before and even had a meal together. So when they actually met, it wasn't as scary as she had imagined. 。Song Mom still warmly welcomed her: "Once you've made up your minds, my heart will be at ease." 。From now on, just leave Kyono's matters to you. Please take good care of them. 。I can do that, aunt. 。They were chatting, and Song Jingye didn't want to keep hovering around, seeming like he was sticking too close to his girlfriend. Conveniently, his father had come home early today as well, so he followed him to the study to discuss matters. 。On the matter of border defense, the father and son had not yet spoken privately about it. 。Song Fu tightened his face and sat at the desk, his voice stern: "You were careless this time. Don't forget your identity. You overstepped your bounds, do you know that"

Song Jingye admitted his mistake: "At that time, the situation was urgent. I had been working there before and knew a lot about the terrain and the enemy. Besides, I was fighting with former colleagues who cooperated well, so I didn't think much about it..." 。After I came back, I had already reported the situation in detail and wrote a letter of apology. 。"Originally, I was called over late at night to provide equipment support. " 。But when I got there, everything was too familiar, and the person in charge was a former colleague from many years ago, so I unconsciously took on the role of commander. 。Came back after a three-day meeting, two days for reporting and one day for reflection. I have been severely criticized. 。Song Father: “The military has its own rules and regulations. Under no circumstances is it allowed to destroy >>> 。This time, it's a victory that leads to criticism and education. If you fail, what do you think the outcome would be I can't even protect you then. 。This time, let it be a lesson. Don't let it happen again. 。”

“是。In the study, the father and son discussed serious matters. 。

The living room, Song Ma was also talking with Chen Ling about what she thought were important matters. 。"As the old saying goes, one should marry before starting a career. But Jingye is the opposite, you're just right." 。There's wisdom in old sayings. 。"Chen Ling returned, not knowing what she wanted to say, and smiled as she listened." 。It's not too late. If you get married this year, your baby will be born next year. 。"Mother Song has already made up her mind. Now that she is pregnant, she will probably give birth in July or August next year. It's a good time to have a baby in the summer." 。Chen Ling was startled. She hadn't thought that far ahead. 。"By the way, when are you planning to get married"Chen Ling was caught off guard by the question and stammered, "I heard from Kyo..." 。"

She shouldn't make things worse, pushing this problem onto him is the safest option." 。ng under someone else's roof." 。"Just take today, that Yi Xin is going crazy at home, Han Zhao-yi can only stay outside. If you and I weren't in the capital today, where could he go"Han Li: "Are you...
