Yang Dawu had a feeling that there was more to the story than Bo Chengcheng was letting on.
But this feeling was something that he had right from the first moment he saw her, and it struck him quite deeply.
And now, this feeling was only growing stronger.
The man pondered for a moment and asked, “Did you have a fight with him? You don’t seem to be in a good mood.”
Bo Chengcheng glanced at Yang Dawu with a faint smile and said, “No, are all soldiers so nosy?”
Her directness made him feel a little awkward.
Yang Dawu scratched his face and turned to look out the window. “No… it’s just a casual question. You can ignore me if you don’t wish to answer.”
Bo Chengcheng turned her attention back to the road ahead. She tapped her fingers on the steering wheel and said slowly, “Nah, I was just casually asking as well.”
Yang Dawu felt even more awkward now.
This woman had such a sharp tongue!
Noticing his silence, she chuckled and said, “I was only teasing you. We didn’t have a fight. He’s rarely home and I’m crazy busy. Who has the time to fight?”
“That’s good then.” Yang Dawu heaved a sigh of relief. Then, as though he had a sudden thought, his eyes lit up and he said, “Oh! I don’t suppose you know who I am, right? My name is Yang Dawu, and I’m one of the vice-captains of the Swift Eagle Special Force.”
“The other one is General Manager Gu?”
General Manager Gu?
That’s right… Gu Mingye was now General Manager.
Yang Dawu paused for a moment before replying, “Yes, he would be the other General Manager.”
Bo Chengcheng laughed again. “Yes, I thought so. The people in your troop are rather interesting.”
“That’s true.” Yang Dawu felt a sense of pride welling up within him, to hear her praising his brothers. “We’re brothers, it’s a given that we get along. And because we’re on good terms, it’s easy for us to diss each other…”
“Diss” was a trendy word that Yang Dawu and Bai Yuan had learned recently.
While in the army, Yang Dawu would be surrounded by a crowd of loutish men. And now that he had retired from the army, this had not changed a bit.
Hence, he was rarely exposed to anything too novel.
Conversing with Bo Chengcheng, he was worried that she would find him tacky. Hence, he slipped in these trendy words he had learned recently.
Bo Chengcheng laughed with amusement. For the rest of the journey, they felt more at ease.
As the car approached Shi Qiao, Yang Dawu informed her, “My house is nearby. It’s fine to drop me off anywhere along here.”
“Ummm.” There was still a hint of a smile on Bo Chengcheng’s face. She looked around and said, “We’re on a main road. Do you live on the main road?”
“It’s just two to three minutes’ walk. I’ll be home in a jiffy. Thanks for the ride.”
“You’re welcome.” Bo Chengcheng quickly pulled to a stop. “Rest early.”
Although he knew that it was nothing more than a polite remark, still, Yang Dawu couldn’t help feeling happy.
This was the first time he’d ever received such kind words from such a beautiful woman.
Yang Dawu nodded. Subconsciously, his eyes lit up with fervor as he said, “You too.”
Bo Chengcheng’s smile lingered even after Yang Dawu had gone.
She realized that in the company of the humorous Yang Dawu, the unhappiness that she was feeling earlier on was gone and she was now feeling quite relaxed.
However, this did not last long for very soon, it was interrupted by a call.
The smile on Bo Chengcheng’s face faded when she saw the caller ID.
She muted her phone and stepped on the accelerator.
However, she then caught a glimpse of a shimmering dark blue Lamborghini in her rear view mirror.
It was Jiang Yeqing’s car.
