It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 526

"This way, please. I'm afraid you won't like the food in our canteen," The commander said while walking toward the canteen with Edward. He hardly ate in the canteen himself. His food was usually brought to him from the canteen by his orderly. Of course, it was a little different from the soldiers'. It was an open fact, so there was no need to hide it.

"Of course I will. I'm not a picky eater." Edward smiled faintly. Luke, who was following behind, rolled his eyes at him and thought, 'Since when?' No one could have lied so naturally and easily as Edward.

"Okay then. Let's ask Daisy and Kevin to join us." The commander liked young men like Edward who were from a rich family yet not arrogant, so he was very happy to talk to him.

"Commander, Major General Gu has left the army base for the army in H City," The commander's aide reminded him. As the commander's confidential secretary, he had to know everything.

"Oh, it will be the three of us then. Go find Colonel Ouyang." The smile on the commander's face paused for a second. He had thought if Kevin ate with them, there would be more communication among them, since Kevin, Edward and Daisy were the same age. Unexpectedly, he had gone on an experience exchange visit to another army base.

"No need. She's already coming." At the sight of that familiar figure, Edward smiled and winked at her.

"Commander, have you two talked business yet? I want to make sure I'm not intruding on something." Daisy ignored Edward's smile with knitted brows. He was either getting eye cramps or just showing off his teeth, she thought.

"Yes. Daisy, how about having lunch with us in the canteen later?" The commander said, not noticing what was going on between Edward and Daisy.

"Sure. But doesn't Mr. Mu have to go?" Some of the people didn't know Edward was Daisy's husband, so they thought everything was normal. But the ones who did were surprised to hear how Daisy had addressed Edward. Edward smiled and could tell from her tone that she was still in a bad mood.

"Colonel Ouyang, I'm not working right now. In fact, I'm not allowed to. You can say I am unemployed now. So since I'm here, can you buy me lunch?" She wanted to play? So game on. He had plenty of time.

Luke and Mark looked at each other. Neither of them could understand what was going on. To them, couples were weird. They talked about so many things that other people wouldn't understand.

"Huh! You two are interesting. It's all good. Young people like flirting with each other. I get it." The commander was confused at first, but soon from their words he realized that Edward and Daisy were having a fight. He had been young once after all.

"I'm sorry, commander. We should wait until we get home, but it seems Colonel Ouyang couldn't wait so now she's embarrassed herself." Edward was eloquent. Somehow he had made it all Daisy's fault.

"Edward, you think it's fun pissing me off, huh?" Daisy took a deep breath and quashed her anger. She tried to stay clam. He had come to see her make a fool of herself. If she lost her temper, then he won. She wouldn't like that. So she decided to talk to him in a different tone.

"Not at all. I was just asking. Did I do something wrong?" Edward had been worried that she might kick him in public. In that case, everybody would know he was afraid of his wife. Was he? He was puzzled by that thought. But in a second it didn't bother him anymore. Being a henpecked husband wasn't humiliating. It had been said that the henpecked men were more likely to succeed. He just needed to believe it. Then there would be nothing to be embarrassed about.
