"Stop here."
When they were still some distance away from the family's courtyard, Ye Ning asked the driver to stop the car.
The sky outside was completely dark. It was originally sunny during the day, but the moon didn't even come out at night. There were only a few sparse stars hanging in the sky.
Ye Ning was still thinking about cooperating with Li Ziheng, and completely ignored Gu Feng standing in the darkness not far away.
It wasn't until Gu Feng's voice finally interrupted her thoughts and made her heart tense.
The moment she saw Gu Feng, Ye Ning's subconscious reaction was to glance behind him.
The car that took her back just started to leave.
From such a distance, Gu Feng must have seen her get out of the car.
"Why are you here?" Ye Ning felt guilty, helpless, and confused.
It still takes six or seven minutes to walk from here to the entrance of the courtyard. Even if he came to wait for her outside, he shouldn't have to go this far.
Gu Feng's dark eyes seemed to be blending into the dark night.
"I'll come out and wait for you. The car just now..."
"The car just took me back. I had dinner with Miss Zhu after get off work today, and then I met a friend who had something to do and left first. After we talked about the matter, my friend drove me back."
Ye Ning took the initiative to explain without waiting for Gu Feng to finish what he said, and apart from hiding something from Mu Wenhao, he also told the truth.
If it were normal, after she explained like this, Gu Feng would not continue to ask questions.
But this time, just when Ye Ning wanted to end the topic, Gu Feng's voice sounded again.
"What friend? What are you talking about?"
"..."
Ye Ning looked at Gu Feng's tense cheeks and realized that something wasn't right about his mood.
"What friend? What are you talking about?"
When Gu Feng didn't get an answer, he repeated the question again.
Ye Ning felt depressed, "What's wrong with you?"
Gu Feng increased his volume and slowed down his speaking speed, "Who are the friends I want to know and what are they talking about?"
In fact, he also wanted to know what was wrong with him?
He had been particularly restless since Zhu Jiabei left, and he had been waiting at the gate of the compound. It wasn't until he saw Ye Ning getting out of the car just now that the annoyance in his heart reached its peak.
He didn't see the man in the car clearly, but he wanted to know who Ye Ning was with tonight and what they were talking about.
"Just ordinary friends, you don't know them." Ye Ning had no way to answer.
If she tells Mu Wenhao's name, I'm afraid Gu Feng will become even more suspicious of Mu Wenhao.
She didn't want any head-on conflict between Gu Feng and Mu Wenhao, because an unscrupulous man like Mu Wenhao could really do anything.
And she couldn't tell Li Ziheng's purpose in finding her. After all, she hadn't decided on the matter yet.
Gu Feng's hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists, "So I don't even deserve to know your friend's name?"
Ye Ning found it hard to imagine that he would say such a thing and frowned, "Didn't we agree not to interfere with each other before?"
So what's wrong with him now? Suddenly caught on to this topic?
Gu Feng felt jealous as he saw that Ye Ning still refused to say the other person's name.
"We are not interfering with each other, but you are still my wife. If you come home late every day, I have the right to know what you are doing outside!"
He was really going crazy at this moment, and he no longer wanted to count the nonsense he had said before.
Ye Ning's face darkened, but she still managed to remain calm, "I can assure you that I definitely didn't do anything I shouldn't have done."
After all, it was her fault to hide her identity and sing in the Red Sea, so now she was making a promise to Gu Feng.
"Is it really that difficult to tell me the truth directly?" Gu Feng's deep gaze seemed to want to see through her.
Seeing that he was still struggling, Ye Ning asked, he was really different from usual.
"Gu Feng, do you want to quarrel with me?"
She has already talked to this point, but if he still doesn't give up, it will only end in a quarrel.
Gu Feng felt like there was a burning flame in his body. He wanted to argue and vent, but he no longer wanted any sense or self-control.
I feel irritated and uneasy, and I want to get into Ye Ning's mind to see what she is thinking and who she is in contact with.
But these can only be his imagination.
Looking at Ye Ning's stern face, he knew very well that he had crossed the line this time, and if he continued, it would really just be a quarrel.
"Forget it, go home."
He could only be the one to compromise in the end.
Although the two did not quarrel, Ye Ning, who was following him, felt the suffocating atmosphere between the two, which was even more uncomfortable than the quarrel. She really couldn't figure out what happened to him tonight?
She used to often come home late, but he never did this.
I only thought that women could be so uncertain, but I didn't expect that men could be so unpredictable.
She obviously wanted to ask him how he got through last night after returning to the battalion headquarters, but of course there was no need for it now.
A night of silence.
The next day during rehearsal, Ye Ning frequently got distracted and played the wrong tune, so much so that even the people in the team noticed something strange about her.
"Okay, everyone, let's take a rest first. We will continue in ten minutes."
Xu Mingyu took the initiative to stop, and then looked at Ye Ning specifically.
Ye Ning also knew that his condition was not good and it affected everyone, so he took a deep breath and could only try his best to adjust.
"Ye Ning, what's wrong with you today? Are you so absent-minded?"
Zheng Shuyun came to her side and asked with concern.
This was the first time I saw her being in bad shape.
"nothing."
"You clearly have something written on your face. Did you have a quarrel with Battalion Commander Gu?"
Zheng Shuyun guessed it right at once, leaving Ye Ning dumbfounded.
"Ah, did you really have a fight? What happened?"
Zheng Shuyun's concern is true, but so is the gossip.
Ye Ning could only say: "There was no quarrel, just bickering."
"Why are you arguing? I thought your relationship was getting better and better after Battalion Commander Gu came back from this mission." Zheng Shuyun said matter-of-factly.
Ye Ning said "haha" twice, "At most, the relationship between us can be regarded as a revolutionary friendship to live together."
It is more appropriate to call the relationship between her and Gu Feng a friendship than a relationship.
Zheng Shuyun's eyebrows were twisted into knots, feeling that what she said was wrong, "I can see that Camp Commander Gu likes you very much."
Ye Ning's face froze, and Gu Feng's words about wanting to live a good life with her came to mind again.
"You don't even have a boyfriend, so you can tell whether you like someone or not."
