Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 114 - : Return Journey

Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Return Journey

Xiao Ding thought for a moment, then simply said, “Forget it, I just won’t tell you.”

To spare her the worry.

Seeing him refuse to speak, Su Meixi asked, “Were you guys special forces before?”

She had looked up information and knew that being a Major in his early thirties like Gu Wei was rare unless he often performed meritorious acts.

Xiao Ding hummed in affirmation but refused to elaborate further.

“Will he return to his original position, or remain stationed in Wu Bian Town?”

...

“It depends on how the higher-ups arrange it. If there’s an urgent call, he’ll definitely be reassigned. If he stays here, he might be discharged before long.”

“I see.”

By Su Meixi’s calculations, she had already been here for over a year. In a few more months, she would be transferred back to Feng City.

…

Today’s gathering had fewer people than the last.

Ah Li said some people really couldn’t endure the hardships here and had already gone back before the Mid-Autumn Festival. There was also a female doctor who almost got scared into a nervous breakdown by a gangster while walking at night; she had gone back to recover and might be traumatized, never daring to come to the border again.

Not everyone had the protection of local soldiers and police like Su Meixi did.

Those who remained were quite relaxed as they ate because they were the ones who had endured.

Ah Li then asked, “Does anyone plan to stay here long term?”

The young man from the last gathering, who wanted to stay, raised his hand.

He had fallen deeply in love with a local nurse, completely unable to extricate himself from this sweet affair, so he decided to stay. As for his family, he thought it suffice to visit them periodically.

Meixi thought of Gu Wei.

If Gu Wei stayed here, then she would stay. If he left, then she would go back.

…

Meanwhile, in the office, Gu Wei stared at an urgent deployment order on his desk.

It ordered him to return to the special forces camp by the next day and leave by helicopter in two hours.

He thought of Su Meixi.

He tried calling her but got no answer.

He tried calling Xiao Ding as well, but again, no answer.

Xiao Ding didn’t join Su Meixi’s gathering because he went off to play video games on his own.

So, Gu Wei left Su Meixi a message: Honey, there’s an urgent deployment. I have to leave today, possibly for a new mission. Once the mission is over, I’ll contact you.

Two hours later, having packed up his things, he left Wu Bian County by helicopter.

…

Back in the car, Su Meixi felt dazed for a moment when she saw the message on her phone.

He just left like that?

Xiao Ding was also dumbfounded, “The boss left without taking me along. Now I’ll have to trek over hills and rivers again to find him.”

“Xiao Ding, will he come back here again?” Su Meixi asked.

“Most likely not. You’ll have to wait until his vacation to see him. You know, some military wives only see their husbands three times in four years.”

Meixi remained silent.

…

Returning to Wu Bian Town, Su Meixi suddenly felt as though something was missing.

As if there was a void in her heart.

She had just had her wedding night, and now she had to part with her husband.

Wu Bian Town without Gu Wei was like an ocean without water, a night sky without stars, like instant noodles without any seasoning.

Her life lacked so much anticipation.

But life had to go on.

Not long after she came back, Xiao Ding also left. Xiao Ding packed up some items that Gu Wei had used and gave them to Su Meixi, who placed them by her bedside, planning to take them back to Feng City later.

Daily, she would see patients, go out on calls, promote social security to villagers, and sometimes go to the local school to do health check-ups for the kids.

Her relationship with Bi Yuanhang grew closer again, reminiscent of their childhood, not in a romantic way but like siblings.

Bi Yuanhang was now smitten with Weina, but Weina had yet to open her heart to him.

The New Year was approaching.

Su Meixi also received her transfer order.

She would be going back to work in Feng City after the holiday.

Before leaving, she invited Bi Yuanhang and Weina over for a meal.

The three of them cooked hotpot in the courtyard of the old health clinic and drank a little wine.

Weina sighed, “Time flies. It feels like yesterday when I met you last year, but now we have to say goodbye in the blink of an eye.”

Meixi said, “You can come and visit me in Feng City, with your senior brother. He lives in the apartment above mine.”

Weina glanced at Bi Yuanhang but didn’t speak, instead taking a swig of her drink on her own.

Bi Yuanhang also remained quiet.

The two clearly discussed this but with no conclusion, so Su Meixi didn’t probe any further.

Matters of the heart are hard for outsiders to influence.

Weina raised her glass to touch Su Meixi’s, “Regardless, I wish you the best of luck, and don’t forget to come back for a visit.”

“I should come back. There are too many beautiful memories here,” said Meixi, referring to the places she and Gu Wei had been.

Of course, there was also that wonderful Mid-Autumn Festival, the happiest day of her life, with her lover and friends.

During the meal, Bi Yuanhang excused himself to use the restroom.

Su Meixi said to Weina, “Weina, I actually think you and your senior brother are well-suited. Give him a chance.”

Weina replied, “He’s eventually going back to Feng City. His world isn’t mine.”

“How do you know it isn’t when you haven’t given it a try?”

Weina smiled and stayed silent. Su Meixi took the hint and didn’t push further.

…

Before leaving, Su Meixi also visited Aunt Ma’s house, giving her all the small appliances and secretly hiding ten thousand yuan under her pillow.

By the time Aunt Ma found it, Su Meixi was already in the county town.

From there, she took a bus to the airport, then a plane to Feng City, lasting over three hours.

As the plane circled Feng City, Su Meixi looked down at the thousands of lights with a feeling of being worlds apart.

The once-familiar neon lights, local dialect, and skyscrapers…

She left the airport and went to the taxi stand.

After getting into a taxi, the driver asked where she wanted to go.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, “To Yang Guang Garden.”

Since that was her and Gu Wei’s home, why not go back?

She had promised Gu Wei to face all future trials together, so it couldn’t just be empty words.

40 minutes later, the taxi arrived at the Yang Guang Garden residential complex.

She got out of the car, looked up at the 16th floor, unlit.

Taking a deep breath, she pulled her suitcase and went upstairs.

…

Everything in Yang Guang Garden was as she had left it.

No one had touched anything she used before.

There was the bracelet Grandpa Gu had given her, the necklace Gu Cheng had gifted, and some household items Gu Wei had bought for her.

First, she walked toward the guestroom where she used to stay, but then thought better of it and went to the master bedroom.

Since they were husband and wife, they should share the master bedroom.

Not long after Su Meixi had returned, someone went to report to Qiu Yurou.

“Madam, the ex-wife of the second young master has come back.”
