Spy war in the Republic of China, peak undercover

"Yijun, it's time for you to get married. Your nanny is old, how many more years can she take care of you?" The nanny advised earnestly, her eyes full of worry.

Chen Yijun was about to speak when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Li Guozhu's loud voice boomed across the courtyard, "Who are you?! How dare you storm the young lady's residence in broad daylight? Come on, arrest them!"

What followed was the unanimous shouts of the female soldiers, and the "clattering" sound of the bolts being pulled, which seemed particularly harsh in the silent yard.

Chen Yijun was startled, and reflexively reached for her waist, quickly pulling out her pistol. Her movements were clean, smooth, and seamless. She was no weak, gentlewoman; years of living on the brink of death had kept her on constant alert.

"Nanny, it's okay, I'll go out and take a look." Chen Yijun said, and walked out of the room quickly.

Her first reaction was that they were Japanese spies. Could it be that they knew about what happened in Jing County?

I didn't send a telegram to Lu Yang either.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, she felt her vision go dark. A figure appeared like a ghost and hugged her in his arms at a speed so fast that she couldn't react at all.

"Ah!" Chen Yijun screamed, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest. When had she ever been treated like this before? Shame, fear, anger—all those mixed emotions mingled together, nearly making her lose her mind.

"Xiaoying! Li Guozhu! Shoot!" Chen Yijun shouted loudly, her voice trembling.

However, no matter how she shouted, there was no movement outside, only the suppressed laughter of the female soldiers. This made Chen Yijun even more frightened. Could it be that they were all under control?

Just when she was about to despair, she heard Li Guozhu's voice: "Miss, stop shouting, they are one of us, one of us!"

Then, the masked man tore off the black cloth on his face, revealing a familiar and hateful smile.

"Lu Yang?! You bastard!" Chen Yijun almost cried. She didn't expect that it would be this enemy!

Seeing that it was Lu Yang, Chen Yijun's heart finally settled down. However, her temper also flared up. She suddenly raised her pistol, pointed it at Lu Yang's head, and roared, "Come here, take him down!"

Lu Yang, however, was not at all flustered. He said to Li Guozhu with a smile, "Brother Guozhu, I brought some good wine and good food. Let's go drink with the brothers. The eldest lady and I have some important military matters to discuss."

After saying that, he picked up Chen Yijun and carried her horizontally, ignoring her angry eyes and the gun pointing at his head.

"Lu Yang, put me down! You..." Chen Yijun struggled, but it was of no use.

The nanny in the room, seeing this scene, just smiled slightly, then lowered her head, muttering: "Amitabha, good, good..."

Li Guozhu smiled and took Xiaoying's hand, saying, "Come on, Xiaoying. They haven't seen each other for a few months. Let's not be a light bulb."

"Brother, what is a light bulb?" Xiaoying, who was not very worldly-wise, asked curiously.

"Oh, my captain of the guard, you will understand when you grow up!" Li Guozhu smiled and shook his head, then pulled Xiaoying away.

Only Lu Yang and Chen Yijun were left in the room.

Lu Yang put Chen Yijun on the bed, then closed the door, turned around and looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Yijun, I miss you." Lu Yang said affectionately.

Chen Yijun felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her. She turned her head away and didn't look at him, but her cheeks turned red involuntarily.

"Hmph, who missed you! How dare you do this to me, you bastard!" Chen Yijun said harsh words, but her tone softened.

Lu Yang walked forward, gently held her in his arms, and said, "I'm sorry, Yijun, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again."

Chen Yijun leaned in his arms, feeling his warm embrace, and the resentment in her heart gradually dissipated.

"Lu Yang, you..." Chen Yijun raised her head and looked at him, her eyes full of questions, "Why did you do this?"

"Because... I miss you, I want to see you, I want to hug you..." Lu Yang said affectionately.

Chen Yijun was a little lost in his affectionate eyes. She felt her heart beating like a deer.

"Wenhan, you...you..." Chen Yijun didn't know what to say. She felt like she was about to melt under Lu Yang's spell.

Lu Yang lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Chen Yijun was stunned at first, then closed her eyes and responded to his kiss.

The room was filled with a sweet scent.

"Yijun, I love you." Lu Yang said affectionately.

"Me...me too..." Chen Yijun said shyly.

"Yijun, marry me!" Lu Yang said suddenly.

Chen Yijun was stunned. She didn't expect Lu Yang to propose to her suddenly.

"I..." Chen Yijun hesitated for a moment, then said, "I promise you."

Lu Yang hugged her excitedly and whispered in her ear: "Thank you, Yijun, I will definitely make you happy."

Chen Yijun leaned in his arms and smiled happily.

She knew that she had found true love.

The sunlight outside the window shines through the window lattice into the room, illuminating their happy smiling faces.

Everything was so beautiful, like... a dream.

Chen Yijun was immersed in the sudden happiness, her heart beating like a drum. She had never expected that this trip to Jiang Province, in addition to official business, would also bring such an unexpected gain - Lu Yang's proposal!

She touched her cheek, which was still a little hot. Thinking of the kiss just now, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. However, she quickly calmed down and thought to herself: No, I am the first lady of the Republic of China, how can I agree to him so easily?

Chen Yijun deliberately frowned, looked at Lu Yang, and said, "Lu Yang, your proposal is too insincere, isn't it? You don't even have a ring, and you want me to marry you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang was stunned. He scratched his head and chuckled, "Hehe, Yijun, you see... I left in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare... But don't worry, I will make it up to you when I get back. I will definitely prepare you a diamond ring bigger than a pigeon egg!"

Chen Yijun burst out laughing and said, "Who cares about your diamond ring? I'm telling you, if you want to marry me, you have to follow the rules. First, you have to come to my house to propose marriage, bring a gift, and ride in a sedan chair carried by eight people. It's a formal ceremony!"

"No problem!" Lu Yang patted his chest and promised, "I will marry you in style!"

Chen Yijun felt even sweeter when she saw his silly look.

In the evening, the two of them had dinner together. The table was filled with a variety of dishes, all of which were Chen Yijun's favorites. Lu Yang was attentive, serving her food, pouring her wine, and asking about her well-being.

"Yijun, eat more. You've lost weight." Lu Yang said with concern.

Chen Yijun rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's all because of you. You make me worry all day long!"

Lu Yang chuckled and said, "I will definitely behave well in the future and never let you worry again."

"You said it, don't go back on your word!" Chen Yijun said.

"I promise I won't regret it!" Lu Yang raised his glass and said, "Come on, Yijun, I'll toast you and wish us a happy marriage!"

"May you have a happy marriage!" Chen Yijun also raised her glass and clinked it with him.

The two of them ate and talked, talking about the past, the present, and the future.

Chen Yijun learned from Lu Yang that Qinglan had given birth to a daughter, and she was so excited that she almost jumped up.

"Wenhan, Qinglan gave birth to a daughter? Is it true? Take me to see her!" Chen Yijun couldn't wait to see the baby.

Lu Yang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there early tomorrow morning."

"Wenhan?"

"Ok?"

"I want a child too?"

"Ok."

"But you have to propose first."

"Nanxing, I'll go back and prepare the betrothal gifts!"

After Lu Yang finished speaking, he stood up and got out of bed.

Chen Yijun had her hair loose and was wearing only a layer of gauze.

Now that things have come to this, you want to run?

"Get up here!"

"Oh, yes!"

It rained all night.

The rain hits the banana leaves, making a continuous "pa pa" sound.

The next morning, the sun was shining and the air was fresh.

Chen Yijun got up early. She changed into a simple cheongsam and put on light makeup, making her look particularly beautiful and charming.

Lu Yang looked at her with his eyes wide open, and exclaimed: "Yijun, you are so beautiful!"

Chen Yijun felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and said coquettishly, "Stop talking nonsense and go away!"
