Divorcing Right After Enlisting? The Army Commander Hugs Her Waist and Coaxes His Little One - Chapter 2

“Breaking off the engagement!”

So, she was also dissatisfied with the family’s arrangement.

Zhou Yishen asked casually, “Do you have someone you like?”

Ruan Qiu glanced at the man.

Isn’t it he who has someone he likes?

“No. I just feel that we are not familiar with each other, and we do not understand one another. It is quite strange to be together like this. I assume you think the same, right?”

Zhou Yishen gazed at Ruan Qiu’s calm face. He could not help but feel that she did not seem like someone from the countryside; in fact, she carried herself with more poise than the children of high-ranking officials.

“The political commissar has already helped us apply for a residence, and the entire family building knows you are the wife I brought from the countryside. It would not be good if we broke off the engagement.”

Although Zhou Yishen was slightly annoyed by the woman’s sudden arrival, she was straightforward, and this personality was not at all disagreeable. Furthermore, she needed the status of a military dependent to find work. If he just broke the engagement like this, not only would he feel guilty, but he would also undoubtedly be scolded to death by the political commissar later.

Ruan Qiu scrutinized Zhou Yishen and asked, “Have you met me before?”

“No. Since I joined the army at seventeen, I have rarely returned home.”

Joined at seventeen; the timeline matched. It is just that he should not be failing to recognize the original host.

“Besides you, are there any other people in your family?”

“Yes, I have a younger brother named Zhou Yinian. He is currently studying at Jiangcheng University. To be honest, I am only the adopted son of the Zhou family.”

An adopted son!

Ruan Qiu remembered; the book had mentioned that the Zhou family had an adopted son who attended a normal university.

But that adopted son should have been Zhou Yinian. How did it become Zhou Yishen now?

Could it be that the two of them swapped identities?

Ruan Qiu boldly asked, “Did you and your brother swap identities?”

Zhou Yishen frowned. How could she possibly know about this?

After he signed up for the military, Zhou Yinian had suggested swapping with him, but the very next day, Zhou Yinian had backed out.

Joining the military was Zhou Yishen’s lifelong dream. If the Zhou family had truly forced him to swap with Zhou Yinian, he might have done something against discipline out of gratitude.

Fortunately, Zhou Yinian finally gave up and passed the entrance exam for Jiangcheng University last year.

“No.”

No swap. But the book clearly stated the Zhou family’s adopted son attended a normal university. Could it be that in the previous life, Zhou Yishen and Zhou Yinian swapped identities, meaning the person the original host forced into marriage should have been the current college student, Zhou Yinian?

If this person is not the scumbag from the previous life, then she feels this military marriage is acceptable.

In this way, she would not have to follow the original host’s tragic path, she could find an opportunity to avenge the original host against the scumbag, and she could also solve the problem of her family forcing her to marry.

Three birds with one stone.

Therefore, Ruan Qiu said generously, “Zhou Yishen, my name is Ruan Qiu. I am the marriage partner you brought from the countryside. You should go file the marriage report tomorrow.”

Zhou Yishen frowned. A moment ago, she acted as if she were dissatisfied with this union, and now she is urging him to file the report.

Truly, a woman’s heart is a needle at the bottom of the sea!

“Are you sure? Once the report is filed, there is no turning back.”

“I will not regret it! However, if you regret it, you must tell me clearly. I will not pester you.”

All she needed was Zhou Yishen’s status; as for love, she did not have any for the time being.

This indifferent attitude made Zhou Yishen take a few extra looks at her.

Why does it feel like forcing a duck onto a perch? Could it be that she has someone in her heart but is forced to marry me?

“You do not want to file the marriage report?” Ruan Qiu asked, seeing him lost in thought.

“No.”

Ruan Qiu thought for a moment and said, “How about this: we can get married, and we can get to know each other slowly after the wedding. If we really cannot walk the same path, we can divorce in three years.”

Why did she say three years?

Ruan Qiu did not know if it was a slip of the tongue or what, but she had said three years instead of one.

Zhou Yishen was surprised. Is this woman’s thinking so open-minded?

It seems he had not guessed wrong; she must have someone in her heart and is only forced by circumstances to marry him.

Whatever. Since she is willing, then let it be. He had been so annoyed by his squad leader’s wife playing matchmaker that he was scared of it.

This woman happened to be someone who could help him fend off such things.

“Fine.”

The next morning, after the two had breakfast, Zhou Yishen sent Ruan Qiu to the military hospital to register.

It was Ruan Qiu’s first time riding on the back of a classic bicycle, and it was quite a novel experience, except for the bumpy ground that made her backside ache, and she had to occasionally grab Zhou Yishen’s waist.

To the usually calm Ruan Qiu, this was perfectly normal.

To her, any physical contact was merely skin and flesh.

However, Zhou Yishen’s face turned red.

Having been single for so many years, he had never been this close to a female comrade.

As those small hands touched the muscles of his waist, the dissatisfaction and gloom in his heart began to fade away bit by bit.

The training registration was right next to the military hospital.

Ruan Qiu got off the bike.

“I’m here. You can go back; I’ll go home on my own later, so you do not need to worry.”

Zhou Yishen nodded, then called out to Ruan Qiu.

“I will file the marriage report when I get back.”

He wanted to give her a little more time to think.

“Mm, my documents are already on your desk,” Ruan Qiu said quite cheerfully.

She did not show any hesitation at all.

Seeing her so decisive, Zhou Yishen was not one to be coy; he would file the report upon returning.

Just as he was about to push his bike away, someone called him.

“Big brother!”

Following the sound of a bicycle bell, a brand-new bicycle approached. A man with slicked-back hair slammed on the brakes, stopping in front of the two of them.

Hearing the voice, Ruan Qiu stood still.

Needless to say, this must be the man named Zhou Yinian. To find out if he was the scumbag the original host married in her past life, a test would suffice.

Behind the man on the back seat sat a girl wearing a white dress with green flowers, who looked quite pretty.

“Brother, why are you here?”

Zhou Yinian jumped off the bike and, as he spoke, his gaze swept over Ruan Qiu.

How did she come here too?

From this man’s eyes, Ruan Qiu clearly saw a trace of disdain, and it was precisely this trace of disdain that confirmed to her that this man was the one whom the female lead in her past life had married, the one called Zhou Yishen.

And in this life, he was called Zhou Yinian.

“Yinian, is this the brother who is a company commander?” The girl beside him was gentle and soft, her watery eyes flickering.

“Yeah, he is the child raised by my parents; he is my big brother, Zhou Yishen. Brother, this is my girlfriend, Tian Ruanruan.” Zhou Yinian deliberately emphasized the words “raised by.”

It seemed he wanted to tell the whole world that Zhou Yishen was an adopted son.

Ruan Qiu stepped closer and wrapped her small hand around Zhou Yishen’s arm.

This action surprised Zhou Yishen. He looked deeply at Ruan Qiu; was she feeling sorry for him?

“Yishen, is this the younger brother of yours who got into university?”

Zhou Yishen nodded, “Yes.”

“Those who get into university are very diligent and hardworking, and their character is usually quite solid. It is just that this brother of yours…” Ruan Qiu raised her eyebrows at Zhou Yinian, her expression suggesting more than she was saying.

Ruan Qiu’s words stung Zhou Yinian.

How could this Ruan Qiu be different from the previous life?
