Opening his eyes, he was in the 60th Military Region, mistook the person for someone else, and was k

Hong Tianming was stunned, seemingly not having realized that such a scene was unfolding.

"You...you don't recognize me?"

"I don't know him." Wang Yinhua looked Hong Tianming up and down again, then looked away, took a step back, and shook her head without hesitation.

"I just arrived here a few days ago. I've never been here before. Apart from my family, I don't know many people here."

"We... we probably don't know each other, right?"

Looking at the woman in front of him, who hadn't changed much since her youth, his gaze was full of unfamiliarity and wariness.

Hong Tianming remained silent for a moment.

"It's understandable that you don't remember. Decades have passed, and we only met once or twice back then. We weren't really that close."

"Since you don't remember, let's get to know each other again."

He then proceeded to introduce himself in detail.

"My name is Hong Tianming. I am currently the commander of this unit. I am 55 years old. My wife passed away many years ago. I have no children, only an adopted son."

"I receive a monthly allowance of over 300 yuan, plus various other subsidies. I have a dedicated nanny and a bodyguard, and my living quarters are quite spacious."

Over the years, she hasn't changed much since she was younger.

Although there are some signs of aging on her face, she doesn't look old at all. Instead, she exudes a mature charm and remains dazzling.

Wang Yinhua was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected this person to be so frank. Before they had even sat down to talk, this person had already clearly stated all her conditions.

To be honest, each of these conditions is quite tempting on its own.

Especially with a monthly allowance of over 300 yuan and a nanny at home, what does that mean? It means being rich and not having to do housework.

However, she still doesn't like to develop a relationship with a man too quickly.

For no other reason than that she enjoys the subtle, sweet, and happy feeling of being in a relationship with a man more.

Moreover, she is currently in the rising phase of her career and doesn't want to waste her energy on dating.

Wang Yinhua pretended not to know what he meant, and asked him in confusion, seemingly a little scared.

"Sir, why...why are you telling me all this?"

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now; I have some things to take care of at home."

"Yinhua, don't you understand what I mean?"

Hong Tianming sighed and stared straight at Wang Yinhua.

"I've inquired. Your man is long gone. You're single now, and so am I."

The point has been made even more bluntly than before.

Pretending to be stupid any longer would be going too far.

Wang Yinhua's face flushed slightly, and her voice sounded somewhat unnatural.

"Sir, you just said we knew each other before, but I'm sorry, I really don't remember you."

"I understood some of what you just said, but... but it was all too fast, and we're not even that familiar with each other yet."

"What you're saying... caught me completely off guard, and I'm feeling a bit confused right now."

As she spoke, she touched her chest, seemingly genuinely frightened.

"It's my fault, I was a bit too hasty." Hong Tianming's expression was also somewhat unnatural.

He hadn't expected to be so impulsive. They had only just met and weren't even familiar with each other yet, and he was already saying all this.

Now look at him, he's all old, but he acts like a young boy, which is really frightening.

He hadn't even considered meeting them before; he just wanted to see an old friend.

After all, decades have passed, and I am no longer the same person I was back then, nor do I have the same mindset.

Even if the other person is still the same as they were years ago, without any changes, he has changed a long time ago; he is no longer the naive young man he once was.

Besides, he's already this age, and those romantic relationships are far removed from him now.

So before meeting her, he really hadn't thought about what to do; he just wanted to see Wang Yinhua.

Little did anyone expect that Hong Tianming had overestimated himself.

When they met again, his gaze still involuntarily fell on her, and the heart that had fluttered in his youth seemed to beat again.

It felt like he had returned to many years ago, to the time when he went to a teahouse for a blind date and first met her.

Hong Tianming suppressed the jumbled thoughts in his mind and turned to pour Wang Yinhua a cup of tea.

"Don't overthink it. Sit down and have a cup of tea. I'll drive you home later."

Wang Yinhua seemed frightened and refused to even drink her tea.

"No, that's not appropriate. I'll just walk back myself; it's not far."

"It's getting late, I have to go."

After saying that, she turned and left.

If we don't leave soon, this rumor will probably spread.

This is the military base. Some people might not dare to spread this rumor to Hung Tin-ming, but that doesn't mean they won't spread it to her.

Wang Yinhua has been a widow for so many years, so the rumors don't really bother her. But this is the military, her son-in-law is an officer here, her daughter lives here, and there are two children in the family who are still in school.

She didn't want this matter to affect her daughter and the others.

This time, Hong Tianming did not stop her. He just looked up at Wang Yinhua's departing figure and fell into reflection.

……

In addition, the guard Xiao Zhang stayed there the whole time. The office was well soundproofed, so even if he wanted to lean close to the door to listen to something, he couldn't hear anything.

He was startled to see Wang Yinhua come out shortly afterward and quickly ran after her.

"Sis, sis, why did you come out so quickly?"

Only a few minutes have passed, how long have they been talking? Could it be that these two aren't what he thought?

Wang Yinhua kept walking forward without giving him a single glance.

If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way and make it look convincing.

"Xiao Zhang, no offense, but are you sure you've got the right person? I don't know your leader at all."

"Your superior said he's seen me, but I have absolutely no recollection of him."

"I think you must have made a mistake. When you get back, tell him and ask if he's contacted the wrong person or if he's misremembered."

Xiao Zhang was startled and turned pale. Feeling something was amiss, he quickly followed Wang Yinhua and asked her.

"This...this can't be, right?"

"Sis, think about it again. You really haven't met our leader?"

"That's impossible. You must have forgotten. Our leader has a very good memory. If he said he's seen you, he definitely has. It's just that it's been too long and you haven't remembered."

Wang Yinhua still insisted on her version of events.

"Impossible. I'm not from this area. My hometown is very, very far away from here, several provinces away."

"They must have mistaken me for someone else. Go back and ask him properly. Also, tell your superior to stop talking to me about those things. I finally found a job and I'm not thinking about that kind of thing right now."
