"Okay."
Lu Qingyou verbally agreed, but she didn't move much.
Bai Yunan tightened his grip on the steering wheel without him realizing it.
He told himself not to get angry and to restrain himself.
Lu Qingyou cast a cautious glance at him before quickly averting her gaze, as if she were a thief.
She turned her head to look out the window and realized that they were neither heading to the mansion nor to her rented house.
"Yunan, where are you taking me?" she asked, although she was a bit afraid.
The atmosphere in the car was strange, and she felt uneasy.
Without turning his head, Bai Yunan said, "It's best if you don't talk right now."
At a loss for words, Lu Qingyou shrank her neck and looked out the window.
Fine, let's not talk then.
...
The car drove through the streets and alleys, heading towards the outskirts and becoming more and more remote.
Even though Lu Qingyou wasn't very sharp, she understood where Bai Yunan was taking her.
She had pestered him before and followed him once.
Although Bai Yunan was usually gentle with her, he was strict in the military.
When she insisted on coming with him, he directly handed her over to his subordinates and trained with them.
She trained with them for a half day and felt as though she had narrowly avoided death.
After that, she never bothered him to come to the military area again.
Even if she wanted to come, she would find Bai Mingxu or her own father.
He drove the car in and got out first, walking to her side and opening the passenger door for her. He didn't say a word, just looked at her, indicating for her to get out of the car.
Lu Qingyou took one look at him and assumed that he was upset because he didn't even want to speak to her.
She quickly exited the vehicle, however, and followed Bai Yunan to his office without pausing. She timidly trailed behind him, looking like a submissive wife with her frail and thin frame.
Along the way, the soldiers saluted Bai Yunan and looked curiously at Lu Qingyou.
They were merely curious, with no malign intent.
Lu Qingyou returned the greeting with a smile and a small nod.
Although this place was not far from Jingcheng City, it was strictly managed. They could only go out a few times a year, and the days they saw women were few and far between.
Especially someone like Lu Qingyou, who was young and beautiful, and looked innocent and lovely.
Lu Qingyou would appeal to a lot of men because of her appearance.
Bai Yunan felt that something was off with the soldiers today. He turned his head and glanced at Lu Qingyou, understanding what was going on. His face darkened, and he stopped to wait for her.
When she caught up, he grabbed her hand and quickly walked toward the office.
Since there were no women in the military, they would be thrilled even to see a female insect.
But he had official business to attend to and had to come here. If Lu Qingyou dared to lie to him, he couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't run away by the time he turned around to find her.
In the office, Bai Yunan pointed to a nearby couch and said, "Find a place to sit and pour yourself a glass of water."
"Okay." Although Lu Qingyou is usually vivacious, in this serious setting, she was quite well-behaved.
She seemed particularly obedient and like a good child, which Bai Yunan found endearing.
As Lu Qingyou sat there, she felt bored and took out her phone to read comics.
