"I have to say, Lifang is right; Captain Mu is really fortunate. I’ve heard that An Ran’s cooking is also quite good. I’m even thinking of learning a few tips from you soday. I’ve been cooking for so many years, yet my skills haven’t really improved. I’m embarrassed to even invite you over for a al."
"Sister-in-law Song, you’re too kind. I just cook casually, and it’s only because Xingfeng doesn’t mind," An Ran replied with a smile.
Although Sun Lifang’s words were a bit irritating, An Ran didn’t take it to heart. After a few interactions, she already knew what kind of person Sun Lifang was. Since she wouldn’t be staying at the Guard Team often, they wouldn’t have much interaction.
Listening to his little wife, Mu Xingfeng gently clasped her hand under the table, holding it tightly. His eyes softened.
"An, haven’t we t sowhere before?" Chief Guard Wang suddenly spoke up.
Since he t An Ran, Chief Guard Wang felt she looked familiar, but he was sure he hadn’t encountered her the few tis Captain Mu brought his family here.
Hearing this, An Ran glanced at Mu Xingfeng. She really didn’t have any impression of Chief Guard Wang.
Mu Xingfeng lowered his eyes to look at An Ran and nodded, saying, "Chief Guard Wang should have seen her, and quite a few people in the Guard Team should have as well."
This statent not only caught the attention of Chief Guard Wang but also drew curious glances from Captain Li and Captain Tao.
Captain Mu’s wife was indeed very pretty, with fair and smooth skin, big expressive eyes, and a small dimple on one cheek when she smiled.
But these people were either always training at the Guard Team or out for field training or missions; they couldn’t rember where they had seen her before.
Seeing the crowd’s confusion, Mu Xingfeng didn’t keep them guessing and spoke directly, "Last year’s flood in Linjiang, I was swept away by the flood, and she saved ."
Chief Guard Wang slapped his forehead, "I knew there was sothing familiar about this girl! Turns out she’s our brave little hero."
During that Linjiang flood, two comrades sacrificed their lives. When he heard that Mu Xingfeng was swept away by the flood, he imdiately dispatched helicopters for a search and rescue. For two days and nights, they even alerted the Imperial City Guard Team, all thinking the worst for Mu Xingfeng. Yet, in the end, he was saved by a young girl.
He recalled that the young girl had fled the hospital after waking up, and only with so effort did they track her down and comnd her. To his surprise, after a year, she had beco Mu Xingfeng’s wife.
"Xingfeng, you lucky guy," Chief Guard Wang said, raising his teacup, "Let’s toast our little hero with tea instead of wine."
"I also felt Captain Mu’s spouse looked familiar. Oh, it was at the comndation ceremony," Captain Tao added with a sigh. Back then, he was deeply impressed by that slender girl. Being a team mber himself, he could imagine the danger Mu Xingfeng faced and thus felt even more admiration for the slender girl on stage. But glimpsing her from afar, he didn’t recognize her now standing before him.
Knowing An Ran was the brave citizen from back then, the people at the table regarded her with higher esteem. Sister-in-law Wang and Sister-in-law Song were even warr towards her, while only Sun Lifang felt more and more stifled as she ate.
After the al, it was ti for the Guard Team eting. As usual, after the exercises, they held a eting to summarize. If it was just within the Guard Team, both sides would summarize separately, but for exercises like this involving other Guard Teams, it was even more necessary to sum up experiences and shortcomings.
