Chapter 741: Endless Pursuit

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In an instant, all of Hu Jie’s discomfort towards the slaughterhouse vanished, her face lighting up with a radiant smile. She was certain that she hadn’t felt this elated in a long time.

She had come to see Su Shen today, deliberately not wearing her military uniform. The last time she had worn her most formal and eye-catching uniform, it hadn’t garnered his attention. She had wondered if the uniform had masked her feminine charm, rendering her unable to compete with the delicate Gu Zi. So today, she had chosen to wear a long dress instead. Officer Zhao had said it made her look very feminine and elegant.

Her heart was pounding with excitement. Without waiting for Su Shen to approach, she took two steps forward and said, “Su Shen, have you come to meet me? I knew it. Last time, it was only because that woman was there that you avoided me.”

Su Shen looked up to see Hu Jie standing there, his brow furrowing. Was this never going to end? “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were coming. I’m here to check on the health of the pigs to be slaughtered today. The person in charge of this task is on leave. What brings you here?”

Despite his cold and blunt explanation, Hu Jie chose to ignore it. “Su Shen, you don’t have to treat me this way just because of a woman. Do you think marrying that woman is like finding a treasure? Gu Zi is the kind of woman who is only suitable for being kept at home for her looks. She can’t be a good wife or a good mother. You’ll see…”

Su Shen couldn’t stand to hear someone badmouth Gu Zi to his face. His expression darkened. “It seems I wasn’t clear enough last time. Let me be clearer, Hu Jie. I don’t know why you came to Guangcheng, but I am certain that there is no affection between us. Even the engagement we had was only agreed upon out of respect for my late mentor’s wishes.

“But times have changed. I am not the same person I was before. I have someone I truly love and want to protect for the rest of my life. That person is my wife, Gu Zi. So, Deputy Commander Hu, I ask you to stop doing unnecessary things, especially targeting my wife.”

Listening to his words, Hu Jie’s heart involuntarily clenched. She believed Su Shen was deceiving himself. How could he have no feelings for her? He was merely bewitched by that woman, Gu Zi. She didn’t want to argue about this anymore. She pulled out a letter from her bosom, handed it over, and said, “Commander Su, don’t misunderstand my intentions. I’m here just to deliver a letter. It’s from the commander.”
