Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 206 He felt a sense of crisis
"Hmph, I was originally going to tell you about your hidden rival, but I didn't expect you to... Never mind, I'd better not say anything."

As he spoke, Hua Zhenrong made a move to hang up the phone.

A love rival?!
Those two words immediately jolted Sheng Zexi awake, and his expression turned serious.

"No, brother, are you telling the truth or not?" Sheng Zexi still believed it to some extent.

Although he trusts his wife a lot, as he said, his wife is beautiful and capable, so it's hard for anyone not to like her.

Now, he is in the Northwest Military Region, and his wife is in Beijing. They are so far apart that he can't help her much.

"Of course it's true. Although that kid hid it very well, I, Hua Zhenrong, am a former reconnaissance soldier. How could I not see through him?" Hua Zhenrong was confident in this much.

"Who is it? Tell me."

"You know Li Tingxuan from the Li family, right...?"

Li Tingxuan!
Sheng Zexi's eyes narrowed instantly; of course he knew.

Li Tingxuan was also an extremely capable person, and he was of the same generation as him and Hua Zhenrong.

It can be said that in their youth, the three of them were the most capable in the Beijing compound circle.

Of course, Li Tingxuan has the best reputation, while Sheng Zexi, with his stepmother constantly adding fuel to the fire, is at the bottom.

Sheng Zexi wasn't jealous of Li Tingxuan, because he knew his own abilities.

He is not jealous of anyone.

Contact with Li Tingxuan was rare, almost nonexistent.

Especially after he went to the Northwest Military Region, there were almost none left.

Therefore, his interaction with Li Tingxuan was limited to having heard of him.

I never expected to hear that name from Hua Zhenrong.

and……

Li Tingxuan actually has feelings for his wife?

Sheng Zexi's eyes were deep and dark.

He didn't doubt Hua Zhenrong's words. Firstly, Hua Zhenrong was a scout, and secondly, Hua Zhenrong wasn't the kind of person who liked to sow discord or make baseless accusations.

So Li Tingxuan really had feelings for his wife?
Sheng Zexi rummaged through his memories to recall Li Tingxuan, and when he remembered Li Tingxuan's appearance, his brows furrowed deeply.

There's no other reason than that Li Tingxuan is genuinely good-looking.

He still has that gentle, refined appearance.

She's practically a higher-end version of Wen Zhuqing.

In particular, Sheng Zexi also knew that Li Tingxuan was a man of integrity, not a hypocrite like Wen Zhuqing.

He hadn't forgotten that his wife used to like the type of Wen Zhuqing.

That's the kind of aesthetic that belongs to the daughter-in-law.

If a wife were to meet Li Tingxuan, would she fall in love with him? Even if she didn't fall in love, she would definitely have some feelings for him.

Of course, Sheng Zexi did not doubt his wife's loyalty.

He just felt a sense of crisis.

He knew that his appearance did not meet his wife's aesthetic standards from the beginning.

That is, if his wife were to marry him, and if she were not yet married, and were to be pursued by Li Tingxuan...

He really couldn't say for sure whether his wife would choose him or Li Tingxuan.

Sheng Zexi is extremely confident in all aspects of combat, training, and missions, but he lacks confidence in winning his wife's heart.

All he could do was try his best.

Moreover, Sheng Zexi had no idea what Li Tingxuan was thinking.

If Li Tingxuan really liked his wife, he wouldn't have shamelessly pursued her after knowing she was married and had children, would he?

Sheng Zexi doesn't know Li Tingxuan, so it's really hard to say.

In particular… Sheng Zexi thought that Li Tingxuan would soon be transferred to the Northwest Military Region, and he had heard that Li Tingxuan himself had applied for the transfer. What was his purpose?

Could it be his wife?

No, not possible!
However, in any case, he will definitely have to get in Li Tingxuan's way afterward.

In fact, Li Tingxuan's initial application to be transferred to the Northwest Military Region was indeed for Gu Jianing's sake.

If Sheng Zexi knew, he'd probably be jumping up and down with worry.

After hanging up with Hua Zhenrong, Sheng Zexi, feeling somewhat restless, still found time to call Gu Jianing.

Gu Jianing had just gotten out of the car and returned to the Sang family home when she received the call.

She was naturally happy to receive Sheng Zexi's call.

Just ...

"Brother Xi, you're talking strangely today," he asked, inquiring if she had encountered any odd people.

Gu Jianing couldn't quite understand it.

"No, no, honey, I just missed you."

"Yes, I miss you too. I'll be going back in a few days."

"Okay, honey, I'll wait for you to come back."

After a long, rambling conversation, the call ended.

Gu Jianing recalled Sheng Zexi's sweet words just now, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

Sure enough, women still like to hear nice things, and she was no exception.

Turning her head, Gu Jianing saw Grandma Sang looking at her not far away, a smile on her lips. It was obvious that she had also heard Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi's lovey-dovey conversation on the phone.

Gu Jianing blushed slightly. "Grandma, I'm going back to my room."

After saying that, he immediately went back to his room.

After closing the door, she touched her cheek and found it burning hot.

Grandma Sang's smile deepened as she watched Gu Jianing shyly return to her room.

"Ning is just too easily embarrassed, but it's so nice that the young couple is so loving."

Gu Jianing continues to write her reports on how to treat PTSD whenever she has time.

In Gu Jianing's view, this report and its role in treating tuberculosis are both very important.

In this day and age, too few people know about PTSD.

Ideally, it should be widely publicized so that people know about it.

Two days later, Hua Zhenrong was completely cured, and the report was also completed.

On the advice of her mentor, Elder Chen, Gu Jianing found someone from the national medical authorities to elevate the report.

"I hope I can be valued," Gu Jianing murmured.

Hua Zhenrong's treatment is over, and Gu Jianing is about to leave Beijing to return to the Northwest Military Region.

“Ningning, I’ve booked sleeper tickets for you and your grandma for the day after tomorrow. I’ll have Xiao Zhang take you to the Northwest Military Region, and you can come back after he arrives,” said Grandpa Sang.

Actually, if possible, Grandpa Sang would also like to go along.

However, the project has recently reached its most critical juncture.

Furthermore, tomorrow, a young couple, who also work at a weapons research institute, will arrive in Beijing from the southeast region.

This breakthrough in weapon research is thanks to this young couple.

By the time they arrive in Beijing, the weapon should be ready within a month.

Then he will be able to get some rest.

He will then go to the Northwest Military Region.

"Can Uncle Zhang come with us? After all, he's your bodyguard," Gu Jianing asked.
