Chapter 732: Chapter 731: Knocking on the Door _1 Chapter 732: Chapter 731: Knocking on the Door _1 “Reporting!”
“Come in!” Huo Beijiang, looking down at the sand table in front of him, spoke without lifting his head.
“Commander!” The visitor saluted respectfully before saying, “Commander, someone is here to see you.”
Huo Beijiang finally looked up, his handsome brow and eyes revealing a tinge of impatience, “What is she doing here? Who let her in?”
“Commander, she is here to make trouble.”
“If she’s here to make trouble, then she can get the hell away from me.” Huo Beijiang dropped the small flag in his hand, his expression icy cold, “How dare she come here to make trouble, who gave her such courage?”
It’s already good of him not to trouble her.
“It was Chief of Staff Huo.”
Hearing that his uncle had agreed, there was a touch of animosity in Huo Beijiang’s eyes. Even though he was adamant about breaking the engagement with Lu Dongxin, his uncle seemed unwilling to give up.
“Let her in, and also tell Lu Jin to come here.”
Less than a minute later, Lu Jin ran in, “Reporting!”
“Commander, I have something to tell you.” Lu Jin quickly said: “Minister Wei’s son, Wei An, was training in one of our companies. He didn’t obey discipline and broke his arm while climbing obstacles without permission. He has already been sent home.”
“Broke his arm?” Huo Beijiang sat arrogantly in his chair, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth, “Why didn’t he break his leg too?”
Lu Jin flinched, wishing he could come over and shut Huo Beijiang’s mouth.
“Commander, lower your voice.” If word got out, it would cause trouble, and people might think they did it on purpose!
“Understood!” Did he appear that brainless?
“So, what should we do? Do you want to visit the Ministry of National Defense and explain the situation to Minister Wei in person?”
“Go!” Although he didn’t want to, and didn’t think it was necessary, he needed to show respect where it’s due.
Soon after, someone brought Lu Dongxin in. Lu Jin’s eyebrows twitched nonstop. His rational mind told him to leave, but his curiosity glued him in place. The commander’s ex-fiancee was here, there would be a show to watch.
“Bei Jiang.” As soon as Lu Dongxin entered, she saw Huo Beijiang sitting in the chair. This was their first meeting since they broke off the engagement. She had tried many times before to see him, but failed.
She wouldn’t have been able to see him today if not for the excuse of standing up for Wei An.
“You, get out.” Lu Dongxin looked at Lu Jin.
“Huh? Oh!” Seeing that his boss didn’t object, Lu Jin could only leave gloomily.
Huo Beijiang calmly sat in the chair, propping up his chin with one hand, and looked at Lu Dongxin without a hint of warmth. He didn’t utter a word, his intention was to see what kind of trick Lu Dongxin wanted to pull.
“Bei Jiang.” Lu Dongxin softened her voice, feeling embarrassed, but her heart was longing to get closer to him.
She admitted that initially, she agreed to the engagement because she thought he was better looking and more powerful than ordinary soldiers and male classmates in the military academy. But later, she genuinely fell in love with him. For him, she was willing to set aside her pride.
“Are you still mad?” Lu Dongxin carefully looked at his side profile, found a seat close to him, and started to speak on her own, “I know you must be mad. You didn’t come to my birthday last time, it must be because you were busy with military affairs, and yet I threw a tantrum.”
