The elevator takes me to find supplies for the motherland

Long Yichen had no choice but to hug Kong Que and force him to face himself.

"Kong Que, listen to me, I have nothing to do with that Situ Bailian. He and I just live in the military compound. I'm not familiar with him.

When he pulled my arm that day, I just didn't react and didn't shake him off in time. It's not that I want to get close to him. I can assure you that he and I really have nothing to do with each other. It's you I like, and I don't have any feelings for him at all. At most, he's just an ordinary neighbor."

Long Yichen kept explaining the situation to Peacock.

"Long Yichen, you don't need to explain so much to me. It's your freedom to like whoever you want. Although I'm your boss, I can't possibly interfere with your private life. From now on, you don't have to report anything about your private affairs to me."

In fact, after hearing what Long Yichen said, Kong Que was no longer angry, but thinking about the gap between herself and Long Yichen, she decided to give up this relationship.

Why should I, a remarried woman in her 30s with a child, fall in love with a promising young man who has a military rank, a good family background and is not married? How could I possibly be worthy of him!

"Why don't I have to report to you? You are the person I like. If there is a misunderstanding between us, of course we have to explain it clearly."

Kong Que didn't know how to explain the difference between them to Long Yichen, so he could only say, "We're not suitable. The gap between you and me is too big. You should find a girl of the same social status as you! Why do you have to like an old lady like me?"

Kong Que had been despised and belittled by Li Ming for more than ten years of their marriage. She had become so self-deprecating that she felt like an old and ugly woman.

After her divorce, she was doted on by her superiors without limits, and for a moment, she thought she had returned to her prime at 18. But reality sobered her up. Seeing the enthusiastic, cheerful, and beautiful girl in her twenties standing next to Long Yichen, they looked so perfect together. How could a woman like her, a woman with an old face, still want to be with a young girl? Don't be so shameless! How could she possibly be worthy of her?

"What do you mean by 'auntie'? How can you be an auntie? My peacock is beautiful, gentle, smart, and very powerful. I won't let you belittle yourself. The person I like is you, not someone we are not equals in social status. If I cared about these things, I would have gotten married a long time ago. Why wait until now?"

"You don't care, but don't your parents care either? Can they accept a divorced woman with two children? Don't be silly. If we really get together, you'll be laughed at for picking up someone else's discarded shoes. We'll definitely quarrel after a while, and we'll be a couple of resentment in the future. Why bother?"

"First, before I told you that I liked you, I had already told my parents that I liked you and told them everything about you. They were very happy that you could be their daughter-in-law and said that they had two granddaughters for free. The two children also got along well with my parents during this period.

Second, I don't care about other people's opinions or ridicule. Their ridicule is simply because they can't marry a good wife like you, and their jealousy can only use ridicule to cover up their incompetence.

Although Peacock was very happy to hear Long Yichen's confession, he still had many concerns that he could not express.

"Just leave me alone! My mind is in a mess right now."

Long Yichen saw that Kong Que still seemed unable to let go of the hurt caused by his previous marriage.

(Don’t push too hard now, or your wife will run away! Take it slow!)

"Okay, but don't let your imagination run wild! Remember this: I won't marry anyone but you. Got it?"

Peacock could only nod with a red face.

"You must be exhausted these past few days. Go back and have a good rest for a few days! Remember to think of me."

Only then did Long Yichen let go of the hand that was holding Peacock.
