Ren Rongzheng pushed Zhan Beiqin to the military region. Li Kui was already waiting at the entrance of the military region. When he saw the two of them come in, he quickly went to greet them.

"Hello, Commander! Hello, Sister-in-law!"

"Hello, Comrade Xiao Li."

Ren Rongzheng also replied to Li Kui enthusiastically.

"Commander Zheng is already waiting in the restaurant. Sister-in-law, I'll take you there."

Upon hearing this, Ren Rongzheng hurriedly said, "How can we keep Commander Zheng waiting for us? That would be extremely impolite. Let's go quickly."

Ren Rongzheng pushed Zhan Beiqin's wheelchair so fast it seemed like they were flying, heading straight for the restaurant, Zheng Hongjun's private restaurant. After all, he was a military commander, so he had a certain level of prestige.

"Hello, Chief!"

Upon seeing Zheng Hongjun, Zhan Beiqin and Li Kui saluted and greeted him in unison, and Ren Rongzheng quickly followed suit, saying, "Greetings, Commander Zheng."

"Is this Bei Qin's wife?" Zheng Hongjun looked at Ren Rongzheng and gave her a quick glance. "Everyone in the army says that Bei Qin has found a beautiful wife. Seeing her today, it's true. Bei Qin, you're so lucky. Your wife is so beautiful and virtuous. She's truly your good wife."

Ren Rongzheng was surprised by Zheng Hongjun's high praise for her and felt a little embarrassed.

"Commander Zheng, you flatter me." Ren Rongzheng also had a very good impression of Zheng Hongjun, who carried the upright spirit of a soldier.

"Commander Zheng is truly an outstanding individual. I have heard Bei Qin speak of you before, and I admire you greatly. It is a great honor to have dinner with you today."

“I told you before, the military region has issued a new regulation that no military dependents may enter the military region without the permission of the military region. You are the first military dependent to be specially approved to enter the military region after this regulation was issued,” Zhan Beiqin said quickly.

"Yes, I am truly honored."

“Beiqin has been with me for many years. He’s not only a comrade-in-arms, but also family. It’s no honor to have a meal together. Rong Zheng, please sit down.”

"Okay, thank you, Commander Zheng."

Ren Rongzheng first pushed Zhan Beiqin to the table, and then sat down himself. After all three were in place, Li Kui left.

"I asked Bei Qin, and he said you like light food, so I specifically instructed the cooks to make it a little lighter."

Hearing this, Ren Rongzheng chuckled and said, "Zhan Beiqin, I really thank you. You're the one who likes to eat light food. Your whole family likes to eat light food!"

"Thank you, Commander Zheng. You are so kind."

Although Ren Rongzheng was inwardly cursing Zhan Beiqin, he also had to thank Zheng Hongjun on the surface.

Then the dinner began. It was clear that Zheng Hongjun really treated Zhan Beiqin like family, like a parent. So Ren Rongzheng also felt like he was meeting the parents and was quite nervous, feeling that every move he made could be judged.

“My husband is so lucky to have met a commander like Commander Zheng. During the time he was feeling down, he was also thanks to Commander Zheng. If it weren’t for your strong support, he would have lost his place in this military region long ago.”

"I would say that without him, I wouldn't have been able to get to this position so smoothly. I'm still very grateful to Bei Qin. I was so worried and heartbroken to see him so dejected before. It's all thanks to you that he got over it so quickly."

Li Kui had said this before, but Ren Rongzheng felt guilty hearing this. She probably didn't deserve much credit.

"Commander Zheng, you flatter me. I didn't actually play any role; it was he who suddenly had a change of heart."

"How could you say it didn't have any effect? ​​You played a huge role. He might be able to accept his career decline on his own, but without you, he doesn't know how long he would have wallowed in despair over Yan Qing's death."

"Yan Qing?"

Ren Rongzheng had never heard this name before; it was completely unfamiliar to her. Seeing her bewildered expression, Zheng Hongjun realized he had spoken out of turn and shouldn't have mentioned it.

Just as Zheng Hongjun was about to change the subject, Zhan Beiqin took the initiative to explain: "When we first met, I told you that my fiancée, with whom I had just gotten engaged, had passed away in an accident. Her name was Yan Qing."

"Oh, the white moonlight, Yan Qing, just hearing the name itself carries the meaning of white moonlight."

I've never heard Zhan Beiqin mention this before. Judging from Zheng Hongjun's words, he's deeply in love with Yan Qing.

It must have been Yan Qing's death that hit him hard first, which led him to take a desperate gamble and participate in the mission. During the mission, he lost both legs, which was another blow.

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, it completely crushed him. But even after being married to him for so long, she hadn't found any trace of Yan Qing in his life. He had never even mentioned that name to her.

When Ren Rongzheng got to this point, the atmosphere became very awkward. Zheng Hongjun really wanted to slap himself for talking too much.

"It's all in the past, it's my fault for bringing it up."

"My wife is broad-minded and won't care about these things."

Heh heh, that dog of a man, all the compliments were forced upon him by his mouth.

"Yes, that's all in the past. How could I possibly care? I'm getting along very well with Bei Qin now, and we've been trying to conceive recently."

Ren Rongzheng said this on purpose; if Zhan Beiqin didn't tighten his grip, Zheng Hongjun would have to tighten it for him.

"Preparing for pregnancy?"

He had naturally heard about Ren Rongzheng's infertility, so he was somewhat bewildered at the moment.

“Commander Zheng, those rumors that I am infertile are false. I have gone to the hospital for another check-up, and there is nothing wrong with my body.”

"Really?" Zheng Hongjun was genuinely happy to hear this, truly happy for the two of them. "That's wonderful! Bei Qin is so capable, and you're so beautiful. Your child will undoubtedly be outstanding."

"Then let's take Commander Zheng's good wishes as a sign."

"Great, Beiqin, keep up the good work, and try to see Xiao Zhan Beiqin next year."

Zhan Beiqin gave a wry smile and replied, "Thank you for your encouragement, Commander. I will definitely work hard."

Afterwards, the dinner party consisted of various casual conversations. Ren Rongzheng was also a good talker and got along particularly well with Commander Zheng. It wasn't until the dinner was almost over that she spoke:

"Commander Zheng, there is something extremely important that I would like to take the liberty of reporting to you."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Zheng Hongjun put down his chopsticks and looked at her seriously. "You want to report to me on work? What kind of work?"

"It's about a veteran from our military region named Guo Jinbiao, a sentry. You may not know him, but the mistake he made is very serious, and it could very well cause great harm to the military region in the future. I'm thinking..."

“I thought something had happened again, about Guo Jinbiao? Didn’t he tell you when he went back to Beiqin? He already reported it to me.”
