Alpha's fiancee is soft and delicate
Chapter 40
At the meeting to report on recent work, Lin Ke paused.
Qu Yuanling was awakened by the sudden stop of the voice, and looked up at her: "...why did it stop?"
Lin Ke asked: "Do you have any thoughts on the recent budget of the Legion?"
Qu Yuanling pursed her lips: "...No. Just follow your calculation results."
Lin Ke flipped through the documents and reminded politely: "Actually, my subordinates haven't reported the budget yet."
Hearing this, Qu Yuanling bowed her head in embarrassment.She put her hand to her lips and coughed a few times: "Sorry, I was distracted just now."
Recalling what Yin Zui told him before, Lin Ke said: "It's not suitable for you to work too hard recently."
She glanced outside the door, feeling a little puzzled in her heart - Gu Qishu, who came to report several times almost every day in the past few days, suddenly disappeared for some reason in the past two days.Lin Ke didn't like Gu Qishu, but he was even less happy to see him ignore his marshal.
She thought for a while, and asked Qu Yuanling for his opinion: "The auction tonight is not important, do you need my subordinates to help you cancel the itinerary?
"The dormitory of the military headquarters will undergo routine disinfection recently. You can go to the third emperor's place to stay for two days."
Qu Yuanling secretly clenched his fist under the table, and replied: "No need."
She has been really restless these two days.
It had been two and a half days since she and Gu Qishu met downstairs in the dormitory. After Gu Qishu left a sentence of "waiting for you to take the initiative", there was really no one.
Qu Yuanling didn't take her words to heart at first—she has worked tremblingly and hard for decades to climb to this position, and she is still very confident in her self-discipline ability.
But she ignored the human instinct—to know the taste by eating marrow.
When she was not marked before, she lived on illegal drugs every day. Even if she had a headache and insomnia at night, she didn't feel particularly difficult.
But after being deeply comforted by Gu Qishu... When I fall asleep at night, I always feel that there is no one's body temperature beside me.
The past few days were fine, the soothing effect was still there, even though she had some regrets, she was able to fall asleep calmly, but in the past two days, her dreams were filled with a sweet smell of sweet-scented osmanthus honey, and she couldn't sleep well all night.
When I woke up in the morning, I suddenly found that the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus was my own illusion, and the feeling of emptiness was even heavier.
It was only then that Qu Yuanling realized that Gu Qishu's so-called "waiting for you to take the initiative" was not some angry joke.If this continues, in a few days, she may really turn around and seek Gu Qishu's mercy.
Thinking of this, Qu Yuanling wanted to struggle to the death.
"The latest itinerary is still the same, I know it well." She clasped her hands together and propped her chin, "Also...help me make an appointment for a physical examination."
Lin Ke bent down: "Yes."
Qu Yuanling breathed a sigh of relief.
She picked up the cup at hand, drank most of the tea in it, and forced herself to cheer up: "Continue to report. I remember you just mentioned the research progress of the new mecha?"
Lin Ke picked up the research again: "Yes. According to the news from the Legion headquarters..."
Qu Yuanling's schedule was filled with a fulfilling work schedule. After a busy day, most of the employees went home from get off work, but she changed into a casual military uniform and headed ten kilometers away with Lin Ke and other subordinates. Top auctions held.
This auction has been cooperating with the military all year round, and those who can receive invitations are either rich or expensive.
On behalf of the Seventh Legion, Qu Yuanling wanted to gain a firm foothold on the main star, so he had to participate in more social interactions like this.
After all, she is the marshal of a regiment, and the organizers are very generous. Knowing that she is coming, they specially arranged a grand welcome ceremony.
Qu Yuanling met many colleagues who came over to say hello, and even ran into the sisters of the Lou family who hadn't seen each other for a long time.They had cooperated in the major general assessment before, and the pictures of the Lou family sisters trying their best to protect Yin Zui and others were vivid in my memory, and Qu Yuanling had a good impression of the two of them.
After saying hello, Lou Yuning looked left and right: "...Didn't Major General Gu come with you?"
Qu Yuanling was a little surprised.
Her first reaction was that Gu Qishu wasn't even in the same legion as her, why did Lou Yuning ask her about Gu Qishu's whereabouts.
But she immediately realized that since the engagement, whether she wanted to or not, she and Gu Qishu had been bound together.In the eyes of outsiders, they are one, and it is normal for her to know Gu Qishu's whereabouts.
Even so, Qu Yuanling was still a little uncomfortable.
She opened her mouth: "She...maybe have other arrangements."
Lou Yuning lowered his eyes, seeming a little regretful: "That's it."
But soon, she regained her spirits: "My brother and I had the honor to attend the engagement banquet of the two of you before, but because there were too many people, we couldn't say hello to the Marshal and the Third Imperial Daughter.
"This time I have the opportunity, I originally wanted to come over and personally deliver the congratulations, but I didn't expect the third princess to be absent again."
She stuck out her tongue: "Congratulations to the marshal and the third emperor's daughter on their happy engagement. Well, I'll trouble the marshal to pass on the third emperor's daughter's share."
Qu Yuanling was a little embarrassed, nodded: "Thank you."
The brothers and sisters of the Lou family turned and left. Qu Yuanling turned back to ask Lin Ke curiously: "Why don't I remember that there is a Lou family among the nobles of the main star? They can be invited to participate in...cough, it should not be an ordinary family to participate in the engagement banquet of the third emperor's daughter." ?”
Lin Ke replied: "The Lou family is not well-known in the main star, and their family is in the Xitana star field, and they can be regarded as the top local nobles.
"However, recent information shows that the Lou family has a tendency to develop into the main star. Their brother and sister are very popular in the Fourth Legion. They borrowed the light of the Marshal of the Fourth Legion, so they were honored to be invited to your engagement banquet."
Qu Yuanling nodded: "...So that's the case."
She quickly put the matter behind her as a familiar face appeared in the crowd.
Gu Qishuang passed the crowd and leaned towards her, raised his wine glass and said hello: "Should I call you Marshal Qu? Or should I call you sister-in-law?"
Qu Yuanling paused for a moment: "Besides the military headquarters, the second princess can call me by my name."
"Don't be so rigid." Gu Qishuang waved his hand, "We are already a family."
Qu Yuanling smiled politely.
If it was an ordinary family, they might be a family now, but in a special family like the royal family, after she got engaged to Gu Qishu, her relationship with other princes naturally became antagonistic.
Gu Qishuang changed the topic: "You came here by yourself?"
Qu Yuanling nodded.
Gu Qishuang said, "Very good. Without my elder brother's bastard obstructing you, you should really be active on the main star. After so long, the people of the empire have almost forgotten the existence of the Seventh Legion."
Qu Yuanling replied very officially: "The Seventh Legion is just doing what it should do."
Gu Qishuang smiled: "Okay, don't be so defensive about me.
"Speaking of which, I actually wanted to find an opportunity to thank you and Qishu for a long time. After the previous assessment, the father lost his temper with Gu Qishen, and I took the opportunity to remove most of his eyeliner in the military department.
"If you have something you like later, just take a picture of it and credit it to my account, and treat it as an engagement gift for you and the third child."
Qu Yuanling declined politely: "Thank you, Second Princess, for your kindness, but... no need.
"I owed you a few favors before, and I am honored to be able to help you this time."
Gu Qishuang didn't force it: "Since you say that, let's treat it as if we're even."
Before leaving, she leaned into Qu Yuanling's ear: "By the way, I remind you of one thing.
"Gu Qishen has already given up on you, but he seems to be eyeing a new target recently, and when he recovers, I'm afraid he will seek liquidation with us.
"If you can get a clue, you might as well take action as soon as possible and stop him."
After finishing speaking, before Qu Yuanling could react, she waved her hand and left on her own.
Qu Yuanling frowned, not taking this matter to heart.
After all, she didn't want to side with any crown prince.When Gu Qishuang told her this kind of thing, wasn't he trying to win her over, and wanted to use her hand to deal with Gu Qishen?
Qu Yuanling has her own purpose in coming to the main star this time, and she doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
After chatting with several people for a while, the auction officially started.
Qu Yuanling found her own seat and sat down. The lights in the venue were dimmed, only the lights on the auction stage were still on.
The host was talking about the opening speech, and Qu Yuanling was a little bored.In a daze, a person sat down on the seat next to her.
Qu Yuanling had no intention of exploring the other party's identity, but the next moment, the other party's hand crossed the line and gently rested on hers.
Before their skins touched, Qu Yuanling withdrew his hand quickly and looked at each other with a little puzzlement.
This time, he happened to meet Gu Qishu's eyes.
She was stunned for a moment: "You...why are you here?"
Gu Qishu leaned on the back of the chair: "What? Only the marshal is allowed to come over, and we are not allowed to join in the fun with these little characters."
Qu Yuanling lowered his head: "No."
She thought that Gu Qishu would not come to her again until she took the initiative.Could it be that this time was just a mere coincidence?
If Gu Qishu knew what she was thinking, she would probably get sick from anger on the spot.
She held her breath and refused to come to Qu Yuanling, and Qu Yuanling really endured it for several days.If she hadn't let out all the words before, she would have taken the sack and tied this little daughter-in-law who didn't know her identity back to the small building.
But she just made up an excuse, and Qu Yuanling actually believed it.
Not wanting to break her promise, she pursed her lips, focused on the auction stage, and stopped talking to Qu Yuanling.
Qu Yuanling keenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
She hesitated for a moment, then looked at Gu Qishu: "Are you angry?"
Gu Qishu didn't turn her head back: "Shouldn't I be angry?"
She was always well-behaved in front of Qu Yuanling, but at this moment there was dissatisfaction in her eyes, which was more in line with the public's impression of her——
Beautiful and noble, proud and untouchable.
Obviously, the two of them were together before, and it wasn't this kind of atmosphere.
Qu Yuanling was feeling a little distressed, and the staff on the stage brought a string of shiny necklaces—this was the first auction item of the day.
Qu Yuanling was not interested in this kind of jewelry, but this necklace attracted her attention very much.The structure and design of the necklace reminded her of the earrings that Gu Qishu wore on her ears when she met Gu Qishu before.
The host introduced: "This is a unique diamond necklace made by the top jeweler in the empire.
"Some people may be familiar with it, by the way! This necklace is matched with a pair of diamond earrings, which are treasured by our Imperial Gemstone Three Emperors.
"Want to have the same style as the Three Emperors? Everyone, don't miss this opportunity!"
