Sixty years old with the army, the heirless boss loves his fertile wife

Chapter 266 Rivals

The man was stunned for a while before scoffing, "How could someone like you even manage to get a wife!"

The man tilted his head and looked at Tang Qiyue, reminding her, "Girl, your eyesight isn't that great either!"

Tang Qiyue linked arms with Zhan Zeye and smiled at the man: "We can't change it!"

man:……

They thought it would upset Tang Qiyue, but to their surprise, Tang Qiyue wasn't bothered at all and even smiled in response.

No wonder someone as temperamental as Zhan Zeye was able to get married.

The other man's wife is very emotionally stable.

"Sister-in-law, please don't be so formal. I look down on Zhan Zeye, not because I dislike you!"

Even if he were blind, he wouldn't say anything bad about such a beautiful woman.

Zhan Zeye held Tang Qiyue's hand and played with it, saying, "Speak if you have something to say, otherwise get lost!"

Instead of answering him, the man introduced himself to Tang Qiyue: "Sister-in-law, my name is Gu Yanting. I served in the military with Zhan Zeye."

Knowing they were comrades-in-arms, Tang Qiyue nudged Zhan Zeyi and said, "I just saw a shop that sells candy. I'll go buy some. You guys chat!"

Zhan Zeye knew that Tang Qiyue wanted to give them space to talk, so he didn't refuse. He just reminded Tang Qiyue, "Wait for me in the store after you're done shopping, and I'll come find you!"

With that, Tang Qiyue nodded to Gu Yanting and left.

After everyone disappeared into the alley, Gu Yanting tossed Zhan Zeyi a cigarette and lit one for himself first.

"You've certainly married a wonderful wife!"

Zhan Zeye lit a cigarette: "Nonsense, how could my wife not be good?"

However, he was too lazy to argue with this guy, and instead asked, "What are you doing here? Didn't you retire?"

Gu Yanting chuckled twice: "I've retired, not died. Of course I still have to live my life. I still have to go to work and earn money to support my family."

He pointed to his police uniform: "Can't you see? I'm in the criminal investigation team now!"

Zhan Zeye nodded. He had naturally seen Gu Yanting's uniform. Since this guy had retired, it was indeed no problem to arrange for him to join the criminal investigation team based on his past merits.

It's just a pity.

This guy is no less capable than Zhan Zeye.

If it weren't for Tang Qiyue back then, Gu Yanting might be his future now.

Seeing Gu Yanting now, Zhan Zeye feels mostly sentimental.

"I was originally going to visit my old comrade's family, but I didn't expect to run into you. I thought you were long dead!"

Gu Yanting's words were unpleasant, but Zhan Zeye didn't bother arguing with him. He simply reminded him, "Try to speak a little nicer when you talk, and pay attention to your image. You are, after all, a people's police officer who serves the people!"

Gu Yanting understood Zhan Zeye's teasing but didn't care at all.

"I've been to your house, but none of your family members know where you are. I knew the address they gave me was fake as soon as I saw it!"

Because of confidentiality, Zhan Zeye instructed his family that if anyone inquired about him, they should give him a pre-arranged address. The address was real, but they just couldn't find him there.

"Furthermore, I discovered that someone is secretly protecting you around your house, so I haven't gone near it since. What exactly is going on with you? How have you managed these past few years? How could that injury from back then have healed?"

Gu Yanting knew all too well that back in the hospital, both of them had been deemed by the doctors to have no hope of returning to military service, but now it seemed that Zhan Zeye was in a much better position than him.

"secret!"

Zhan Zeye wouldn't let Gu Yanting have his way.

"Don't pry into my family's affairs, lest you become so jealous you're unrecognizable."

This was Zhan Zeye's reminder to Gu Yanting.

Gu Yanting sneered: "Do you think I'm willing to do this? If it weren't for someone loitering around your house recently, do you think I'd be happy to meddle in this?" Zhan Zeye wasn't home, but that didn't mean others didn't want to find him through Zhan's mother.

"With your sudden appearance, someone will probably be looking for you soon!"

He reminded him again, but Zhan Zeye laughed: "Weren't you the one who came to me first?"

Gu Yanting paused for a moment, his fingers holding the cigarette, and gave a wry laugh: "It seems you have a lot of opinions about me!"

Zhan Zeye nodded.

"Now that he's back, we still need to face the issues. Are you interested in meeting him?"

Gu Yanting frowned, his face serious.

Zhan Zeye countered, "If I said I wouldn't go see you, you definitely wouldn't agree. So why did you ask such a question?"

Knowing full well the answer, Gu Yanting grinned and said, "It was just a polite gesture. Since you don't need it, then leave!"

Zhan Zeye said no.

"Let's reschedule for a time; I need to take my wife home!"

Just kidding, if he were to meet with the person behind Gu Yanting now, wouldn't that make Tang Qiyue worry?

Gu Yanting disapproved of Zhan Zeye's attitude of wanting to take care of his wife in everything, but he could understand it.

People like them are already letting their families down by getting married and having children; if you can take care of them, then do so.

However, Gu Yanting was afraid that Zhan Zeye would run away, so he still said he would accompany him.

Zhan Zeye will not object.

The two walked towards the candy shop outside. When they came out of the alley, Gu Yanting dismissed the two people waiting outside.

He then asked Zhan Zeyi, "We haven't heard from you in the past few years. You got married, so did you have children?"

Instead of answering his question, Zhan Zeye asked in return, "What about you? Are you married? Do you have children? You're not really unable to have children, are you?"

When Tang Chunlan first heard the news that she couldn't have children, it wasn't Zhan Zeye's case, but Gu Yanting's.

Since the two of them were in the same hospital room and were comrades-in-arms, they naturally didn't hide anything from each other, and told the doctor when he spoke.

Tang Chunlan only heard a little bit of it, and then she was tricked by Tang Mingyue, so she naturally believed it to be true.

Who would have thought there were so many hidden details?

Gu Yanting nodded: "Since I can't have children, why should I ruin other people's good girls? My eldest brother gave his youngest son to me for adoption, so I'll just need someone to visit my grave in the future!"

He doesn't ask for much.

Anyway, he's the kind of person who's not suited to getting married and having children; he just lives one day at a time.

"Then why are you risking your life for someone else? Did they save your life?"

Zhan Zeye looked completely bewildered. If it were for the sake of family and being constrained by others, he could understand, but now it seemed that Gu Yanting was simply insane.

"Couldn't it be for a noble ideal?"

The two have always been at odds, not only because their fighting abilities are evenly matched, but also because of their differing values.

Zhan Zeye still prefers to follow the rules in everything. Even though he has a carefree personality, he would never do anything that violates morality.

But Gu Yanting is different. He will use any means necessary for the mission, even if the means are sometimes a bit excessive.

This often leads to disagreements when carrying out tasks.

Even now, the two still can't stand each other, but they can't help but be together.

While they were talking, they arrived at the place where Tang Qiyue bought candy, but just as they were about to look for her, they realized something was wrong.
