The soldiers in the special vanguard forces pretty much consisted of men.
Everyone knew Gu Yan stayed in the room alone. Hence, even if they really needed something from her, they would knock first.
More importantly, this would only occur during the day.
Bai Changle consistently followed such manners in the past few days.
But it was currently night time.
‘Who could it be at this hour?’
Gu Yan was usually vigilant.
She still recalled locking the door from the inside before.
This meant that even if someone had the keys, they wouldn’t be able to enter from the outside.
‘So… how did this person come in!?’
Thinking about this, Gu Yan slowly got up and grabbed the hook next to the cauldron. She took two steps towards the door. When she reached a safe distance, she asked calmly, “Who is it?”
The door was closed.
No one answered her.
There were a series of footprints on the ground.
Most likely, the snow clung to the shoes of the intruder. It looked a little melted now.
Gu Yan looked at the tracks. She was fairly certain someone else was in the room.
And, this person didn’t go to the bedroom since she just came from there.
There was no way he didn’t see her.
So where did this person go…
Suddenly, a cold hand reached out from behind her.
Gu Yan was startled by the chilling air. Out of reflex, she swung the hook.
In the following second, the hand grabbed the hook effortlessly and snatched it away.
That person easily took the hook from Gu Yan’s hand!
‘Clank!’
That person threw the hook onto the ground…
Thereafter, the other cold hand had wrapped around Gu Yan’s waist.
Because of the familiar breath, Gu Yan’s tense mind relaxed, and she withdrew the leg she almost kicked out.
A great sense of joy swept her.
Gu Yan immediately turned around and faced the person.
Seeing the stubble that he didn’t have time to shave, her eyes lit up.
She looked down. There were even more snowflakes hanging off his body.
Bliss was almost seeping out of her eyes.
Lu Ye set the hook aside and held his wife with both hands.
That soft and tender feeling finally put a stop to his numerous days of longing. It was like the anchor to a little boat that had been drifting for many days. Now, it finally found a harbor.
“Gu Yan, your vigilance is quite high, but your moves aren’t as good. I have to train you some time.”
“… How long would I have to train to be able to beat you?” Gu Yan smiled and put both her hands around Lu Ye’s waist. “My Captain Lu?”
“Beat me? Gu Yan, you can beat me now…”
The two were already hugging. Lu Ye used some force and tightened the hug. Both their hearts were next to each other.
His voice was a little hoarse. “Because I won’t resist. My wife can do anything to me… how about you do something to me now?”
Lu Ye still wanted to say something more, but his little wife had already tiptoed to kiss his lips.
The intimate contact set the fire within him. Captain Lu overflowed with longingness. He couldn’t help but pour everything into it.
After their lips touched, he became certain the person before him was truly the person he missed.
Everything wasn’t a dream.
She was in his arms in person.
Lu Ye finally relaxed. He couldn’t resist sighing. “Wife, I really missed you.”
