Soon after, Su Su and the rest went into the house. Then a low-profile, pitch-black vehicle stopped in front of the Su family home’s front door. Su Zhen instantly noticed that it was Huang Sui, so he quickly greeted him.
Sure enough, a gray-haired older gentleman with an energetic expression exited the car, holding a small and exquisite gift box in his hand.
When Su Zhen saw the pink-colored box, he knew it was for Su Su. While greeting the older gentleman, Su Zhen said, “We haven’t made any preparations for Commander Huang’s visit today. How inconsiderate of us. We would love it if Commander Huang joined us for dinner. Please take it as an apology
on behalf of the Su family.”
$u Zhen had been in the entertainment industry for a few years, so he was used to pleasantries. He was mentally prepared and could easily handle an esteemed guest like Huang Sui.
Huang Sui chuckled and strode toward the entrance of the Su family home. Waving his hand as he said, “No, that’s quite all right. I just came over to practice the violin with the little one. I will take my leave after practice. Otherwise, my wife will nag me to death. By the way, where is Su Su”
“Su Su accidentally fell into a river this morning. She just returned from the hospital. Su Su is probably having some snacks as we speak. I’ll get someone to call her over.” Su Zhen smiled humbly and signaled the servants to call for Su Su.
“The little one fell into a river? Is she okay?” Huang Sui asked with concem. He revealed a caring expression as soon as he heard of what happened to Su Su.
“Su Su is fine, Commander Huang. My Big Brother saved her just in the nick of time. Su Su took in some water, but she’s okay,” Su Zhen hurriedly explained. The two had already walked into the living room as they spoke.
Su Su had just finished eating a small cake, and when she saw Huang Sui, she quickly jumped down from her chair and said with a smile, “Mr. Huang!”
Huang Sui also revealed a kind smile. The older gentleman was about to reach out and pat the little girl’s head with a smile when he suddenly heard an exclamation from behind Su Su, “Commander Huang!”
‘Wan Shuang appeared with her mouth slightly opened. She was in awe as she stared at Huang Sui with widened eyes.
Huang Sui raised his head when he heard the woman’s exclamation. He was stunned when he saw Wan Shuang, then he said with a delighted smile, “My, my. I’s been a while, Little Wan!”
Wan Shuang was teary-eyed. She rubbed her eyes excitedly, with a puzzled look. Wan Shuang subconsciously soluted the older gentleman and gathered her thoughts. She stammered, “C-Commander Huang, I…”
Huang Sui was the commander of the military division that Wan Shuang served in a few years ago. At that time, Wan Shuang was just a young girl in the army. Since Wan Shuan was still a rookie, she had made a mistake during a random training session, causing the army to lose ten crates of supplies.
Wan Shuang was brought to face Huang Sui after such a blunder, and he was the one who had to punish Wan Shuang, But when Huang Sui looked at the scrawny woman before him, he couldn’t bear to proceed with the harsh punishment, so he decided to take her under his wing instead.
Huang Sui even transferred Wan Shuang to his division and taught her many valuable life lessons. But the older gentleman retired a few years later, and the two never saw each other ever since.
Wan Shuang never expected to meet Huang Sui at the Su family home, and as Su Su’s bodyguard no less. When Wan Shuang thought of what happened in the army, she couldn’t help but feel ashamed.
Wan Shuang was disappointed in herself. Huang Sui had taught her so much, yet she ended up working as a bodyguard for a little girl and her wealthy family.
However, Huang Sui still had a happy expression on his face. He sized the woman up and said with satisfaction, “You don’t look as scrawny as before, Little Wan. It looks like you’ve been exercising and eating well!”
Wan Shuang became stiff and awkward. She stuttered, “Y-Yes, sir! Y-You taught me that the body is the temple of the soul…”
‘When Su Su noticed Wan Shuang’s embarrassed and nervous temperament, she raised her head and asked curiously, “Have you two known each other for a long time?”
“Yes, Su Su. Commander Huang was in charge of the military division I served in when I was in the army. He’s someone whom I respect and appreciate very much,” Wan Shuang said as she composed herself…
