Chapter 545: A Call for Magnanimity

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was a thing of the past, yet Hu Jie still had the audacity to send letters to Su Shen, delivered by none other than a member of the military. The audacity was indeed boundless!

Before Su Shen could introduce the man, Gu Zi’s mind was already racing, trying to piece together information about Su Shen and Hu Jie.

However, she soon realized that even though she had read the novel, she could not find any more information about the relationship between these two. Su Shen was merely a supporting character in the book, with little description about him, let alone his network of relationships. Therefore, she could not find any information about this woman named Hu Jie.

As a result, Gu Zi was unsure whether Su Shen would end up with this woman named Hu Jie in the future.

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t respond immediately when Su Shen introduced the man to her. But she wasn’t worried about embarrassing the man who had brought the letter. After all, he knew that Su Shen was married and yet he had brought Hu Jie’s letter. It seemed he had no intention of respecting her as Su Shen’s wife.

Su Shen, however, remained calm. When Gu Zi finally snapped out of her thoughts, he patiently reintroduced the man, “This is my comrade, Hu Bing. This is my wife, Gu Zi. You can call her Mrs. Su.”

Su Shen’s words carried a deeper meaning. Clearly, he had noticed his comrade’s unfriendly attitude towards his wife and was reminding him to respect Mrs. Su in a subtle yet unmistakable way.

Hu Bing was somewhat surprised and puzzled, and began to scrutinize Gu Zi. After all, he had never seen Su Shen defend someone so fiercely before. It seemed his cousin was truly going to have to forget about Su Shen.

He responded calmly, “No need for formalities. Mrs. Su, nice to meet you. I’m Hu Bing.

“But Su Shen, we need to discuss something serious. If your wife is here, wouldn’t it be inconvenient?” Hu Bing clearly didn’t want to discuss the upcoming matter in front of Gu Zi.

However, Su Shen’s stance was unwavering. He said, “It doesn’t matter. From the day she married me, I’ve been completely honest with her. She knows everything about me. Speak your mind.” As he spoke, he held her hand firmly, making his stance clear.

Hu Bing was still reluctant to give up. He shifted his gaze to the table, removed his black military gloves, and pushed the letter towards Su Shen, saying, “This is from Hu Jie. I’m sorry, Mrs. Su. Hu Jie is my cousin. Don’t blame her. I didn’t know Su Shen had remarried before I came.

“But my cousin and Su Shen are old acquaintances. They had contact when they were in the army. It’s not a big deal to have correspondence now, right? I think a wife should be magnanimous. A man as outstanding as Su Shen is bound to have other women around him, right?”

Listening to his words, Gu Zi felt uncomfortable. She knew that Su Shen had informed him of their marriage the last time they met.

Even if Su Shen hadn’t told him, how could he not know that Su Shen was married after spending some time here?

Clearly, he was still holding onto hope. If Su Shen returned to the army, he would be separated from his wife, and if Hu Jie was nearby, it was inevitable that old feelings would resurface.

However, she didn’t want to express her opinion on this matter. It would depend on what Su Shen could do. After all, this woman named Hu Jie was attracted by Su Shen. He should solve this problem himself.

Her expression didn’t change. She responded indifferently, “Whether you knew or not doesn’t matter. The letter is here. Why are you saying all this, Major Hu? I, a woman, am more straightforward. frёeωebɳovel.com

“As for Su Shen returning to the army, we discussed it last night. Su Shen doesn’t want to be recalled. I respect my husband’s choice. As for the rest, you two can discuss it. I’ll go make some tea. Major Hu, what kind of tea do you usually drink?”

Hu Bing was stunned. Su Shen hadn’t introduced his military rank as Major, had he? How did she know? Did she figure it out from his uniform? And her attitude towards his provocation was too indifferent. This woman was not simple.

His real feelings at this moment were that this woman, whether in terms of appearance, figure, reaction to people, or knowledge, was slightly better than his cousin. Although he was reluctant to admit it, it seemed that this was the truth.
