Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Special Approval from the Commissar! Mr. Gu’s Private Phone Line Shocks the Entire Compound!

Li, who was paralyzed on the ground, was dragged and pulled back into the house without daring to make a sound again.

The remaining military wives stood frozen as if they’d been hit with pressure points, even breathing lightly.

They looked at Gu Yanshen as if they were looking at a fierce tiger that had just walked off the battlefield.

And that fierce tiger was now carefully leading his delicate little wife into the house.

“Bang!”

The wooden door closed, cutting off all sight.

The air in the yard seemed to start flowing again.

“Oh my god… Is Mr. Gu going to…”

“For the sake of his wife, he seemed ready to kill!”

“My legs are still cramping…”

A few military wives huddled together, speaking in hushed tones, their faces all shocked after the fact.

Inside the house.

As soon as the door closed, the intimidating aura around Gu Yanshen dissipated completely.

He turned around, his dark eyes fixated on Lin Wan Yi, his large hand awkwardly placed on her shoulder.

“Did I scare you?” There was a hint of anxiety and regret in his voice that even he hadn’t noticed.

He shouldn’t have shown that side of himself in front of her.

Lin Wan Yi blinked her big, watery eyes, not at all fearful and instead let out a giggle.

She stood on her tiptoes and poked his tense, handsome face with two soft fingers.

“Nope.”

She shook her head, then hugged his firm arm with her whole body, lifting her face upwards with eyes sparkling with admiration.

“Hubby, you were so impressive just now!”

Her voice was soft and sweet, like honey syrup.

“You were just like a hero from a storybook! With just a word, you scared the villains into retreat!”

Gu Yanshen was completely stiffened.

He had imagined she might cry out of fear, or think he was being too brutal, but never had he expected this kind of reaction.

The word “Hubby” coming out of her mouth was like a bomb going off in his heart.

Heat uncontrollably rose from his neck up to the tips of his ears.

“Nonsense.”

He scolded lightly, but the red flush on the tips of his ears betrayed him completely.

Seeing his innocent yet pretend-serious demeanor, Lin Wan Yi’s heart bloomed with joy, and she hugged him even tighter.

“I don’t care, you’re my hero no matter what.”

She snuggled his arm and said softly.

Gu Yanshen’s heart felt like it was brushed with feathers, itchy and tingly.

His Adam’s apple bobbed, suppressing the waves in his heart.

He reached out clumsily to touch the top of her head.

“From now on, I won’t let them bully you again.”

Having said that, he released her, turned around, and picked up the military jacket hanging on the wall.

Lin Wan Yi was taken aback: “You’re going out?”

“Mm.”

Gu Yanshen replied in a deep voice while putting on the jacket.

“I’m going to the regiment headquarters.”

He fastened the last button, turned to look at her, his gaze firm.

“Submit the report and secure the phone line.”

There was no hesitation, no doubt.

What he said, he will accomplish.

Lin Wan Yi’s heart was struck heavily.

This man never spoke sweet words, but every action of his was more reassuring than the most touching love words.

Gu Yanshen walked away with large strides.

Lin Wan Yi stood at the door, watching his figure disappear at the courtyard gate, her lips couldn’t help but curve upwards.

She turned back to the house, poured some water from the thermos, secretly added a drop of spiritual spring water, and drank a sip from her palm.

A flow of sweet warmth slid into her stomach, washing away the earlier discomfort of being scolded.

She’s not angry, with such a man protecting her, the jealousy and insults of others are just background noise adding fun to her life.

Humming a little tune, she picked up the wooden basin and walked out of the house again.

In the yard, although Gu Yanshen was gone, the “legend” about him had just begun to ferment.

“Do you think Mr. Gu will be granted the report when he goes to apply?”

“How is that possible! Personal phones are the privilege of the regimental commanders and political commissioners! For him to apply as a regiment commander, isn’t that blatant favoritism?”

“I doubt it, what if he doesn’t get the phone and instead receives a sanction.”

Sister in law Qian stood at her door, listening to the chatter with a smirk, her face bearing a hint of schadenfreude.

She raised her voice to the people around, saying: “Hmph, young people are impulsive! Giving up his future for a woman. Wait until he gets called by the leaders for a talk, let’s see if he can still be so smug!”

Once she said that, many people thought it made sense, and their views on Lin Wan Yi became complex again, filled with some relish for watching a good show.

Just then, Sister in law Zhang, who lived at the east end, came over to Lin Wan Yi with a dish in her hand.

“Xiao Lin, don’t listen to their nonsense.”

There was sincere concern in Sister in law Zhang’s tone.

Lin Wan Yi smiled at her: “Thank you, Sister in law Zhang, I’m fine.”

“Alas, you child, you have such a carefree heart.” Sister in law Zhang lowered her voice, looking slightly sentimental and envious, “We’ve been married into this compound for so many years, and never have we seen a man like Mr. Gu, who protects his wife so preciously. You’re a very blessed person.”

Lin Wan Yi felt warm inside and nodded: “I know.”

Sister in law Zhang continued: “Mr. Gu has fought in battles and earned merits, the leaders value him; they might not trouble him over such a small issue.”

Sister in law Qian, not far away, listened, pouting disdainfully, muttering, “No matter how meritorious, it mustn’t break the rules…”

She hadn’t finished her words.

The roar of a car engine approached from afar, interrupting all the sounds in the courtyard.

A green military jeep unexpectedly drove up to the gate of the family compound and stopped firmly.

This was a rare occasion!

The eyes of everyone in the yard were drawn to it.

The car door opened, a young soldier in a communications uniform jumped out with a folder and tape measure.

He stood in the center of the yard, looking around, loudly announcing:

“Excuse me! Which house is Lin Wan Yi’s?”

Everyone froze.

Even Lin Wan Yi walked out with some confusion.

Upon seeing her, the communications soldier immediately checked his file and displayed a standard smile, stepping forward quickly, giving a standard military salute.

“Hello, Comrade Lin Wan Yi!”

His voice was even louder, ensuring everyone in the courtyard could hear clearly.

“We’ve received orders! The family private line phone that Captain Gu Yanshen applied for you has been specially approved by our division’s Political Commissioner Chen himself!”

The communications soldier paused, raising his voice by eight degrees, with an authoritative tone.

“The Commissioner instructed that this is an urgent task and must be expedited!”

“We’re from the communications company, here to survey the line, ensuring the phone gets installed for you as quickly as possible!”

“Boom—!”

The words of the communications soldier exploded like a bomb in the little courtyard!

The entire family compound instantly fell into a dead silence!

All the military wives were petrified in place!

Sister in law Qian had just poked her head out from the house, hearing this, the enamel basin in her hand clattered to the ground, deforming from the hit.

Phone!

And not just an ordinary approval!

But personally approved by the division’s political commissioner!

And an urgent task! Expedited!

This… this is such incredible face!

All their gazes converged on Lin Wan Yi, shocked, aghast, and finally, all turned into uncontrollable, insane jealousy, eyes burning red!

The communications soldier completely ignored the reactions of those around and turned to Lin Wan Yi, speaking with incredible respect:

“Mr. Lin, the Commissioner instructed that under no circumstances should the family of our war hero be wronged in the slightest. You see, where would the phone line be most conveniently placed? We’ll follow your directions for everything!”
