Zhao Wenjing leaned closer. "What's up with Commander Zhang? Did she find out about you and Huo Xiuyuan?"

"Who knows? I'm going now."

Shen Tang went to the regimental commander's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Shen Tang pushed open the door and went inside. Huo Xiuyuan was actually inside, and Shen Tang became nervous.

Could it be that Commander Zhang found out about her relationship with Huo Xiuyuan?

"Commander Zhang, you wanted to see me?" Shen Tang asked.

Commander Zhang looked up from the documents in his hand, looked at her, and said:

"Shen Tang, have you made up your mind?"

"What?" Shen Tang looked at Huo Xiuyuan in confusion.

Commander Zhang tapped on the paper in his hand. "The marriage thing? Didn't you want to apply for marriage with Commander Huo? Commander Huo came to me to approve your leave. Didn't you need to go back to your hometown to get the necessary documents?"

"Huh?" Shen Tang was somewhat surprised.

"What? You don't want to?" Commander Zhang frowned.

"No, I, I'm willing," Shen Tang said.

She looked at Huo Xiuyuan, wondering why he hadn't even discussed it with her before coming.

Huo Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Since she's willing, then Commander Zhang, please approve the leave! We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning and be back by the next day at the latest."

Shen Tang tugged at his sleeve and lowered her voice, "So eager?"

"Yes, it's urgent," Huo Xiuyuan said.

Commander Zhang sighed, "Sigh, Shen Tang, you're a promising talent. Whether it's your flexibility or your sense of dance, you have exceptional qualities. Why get married so early? You two..."

She glanced at Huo Xiuyuan, "You're still young. Waiting a couple more years won't hurt. I believe you'll definitely be able to stand on a bigger stage, maybe even go to Beijing!"

"Ahem," Huo Xiuyuan coughed lightly, "Commander Zhang, but I'm not young anymore."

Commander Zhang glanced at him, his face turning cold. "You're not young anymore, you deserve it."

Shen Tang couldn't help but laugh. She said, "Commander Zhang, even if we get married now, we won't have children so soon."

Commander Zhang glanced at Huo Xiuyuan.

Everyone in the military knows that Huo Xiuyuan is infertile. Didn't he tell Shen Tang?

"Huo Xiuyuan, are you hiding something from her?" Commander Zhang asked with a serious expression.

"No," Huo Xiuyuan said in a deep voice.

"Since we're getting married, we can't hide anything," Commander Zhang stood up, pulled Shen Tang aside, and whispered.

"Shen Tang, Huo Xiuyuan has a health problem. He was injured before, which may affect his fertility. Of course, cough, he may not have any problems in that area."

Shen Tang looked at Huo Xiuyuan, suppressing a laugh, and said softly, "I do mind, but maybe things will get better in the future!"

"Shen Tang, you're such a good kid, I've approved this leave for you."

Commander Zhang signed the leave slip and wrote, "Be careful on the road."

"Thank you, Commander Zhang." Huo Xiuyuan folded the leave slip and stuffed it into Shen Tang's hand.

"Then we'll be going now." Huo Xiuyuan took Shen Tang's hand.

"Tsk, be mindful of your image. You're not even married yet," Commander Zhang said, frowning.

"Commander Zhang is right." Shen Tang pulled her hand away from Huo Xiuyuan's hand.

"Alright, go ahead!" Commander Zhang said with a smile.

After the two left Commander Zhang's office, Shen Tang turned back to look at Huo Xiuyuan.

"Why didn't you discuss this with me first? It was so sudden."

"Didn't we already agree on this back on the grasslands?" Huo Xiuyuan lowered his voice, "I don't want to wait even a day longer; I want to marry you as soon as possible."

Shen Tang looked at him. "Don't you need to discuss this with your family?"

"No need," Huo Xiuyuan said, taking her hand and looking at her. "It's my own business, I can make my own decisions. It's me who wants to marry you, not them."

Shen Tang smiled, stood on tiptoe, and quickly kissed Huo Xiuyuan on the cheek.

Before Huo Xiuyuan could react, she turned and ran off briskly.

Huo Xiuyuan looked at the pretty figure, and his smile deepened.

He's finally going to marry her.

The next morning, Huo Xiuyuan waited downstairs at Shen Tang's dormitory.

When Shen Tang came out of the house, Huo Xiuyuan was leaning against the car door waiting for her.

When he saw Shen Tang's appearance, he unconsciously straightened up and fixed his gaze on her.

She wore a light blue dress, the hem falling just below her knees, the fitted waistline perfectly accentuating her figure. The neckline was trimmed with delicate white fringes, fluttering gently like flower petals, revealing her slender neck.

Sunlight fell on her face, making her skin appear fair and translucent. Her eyebrows and eyes were bright and beautiful, and her fox-like eyes held a faint smile. Her lips were painted with lipstick, full and vibrant, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

Huo Xiuyuan was almost stunned, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

"Is it pretty?" Shen Tang tilted her head to look at him.

Huo Xiuyuan opened the passenger door: "Get in."

Shen Tang smiled and got into the car. Huo Xiuyuan closed the car door, walked around the front of the car, and got into the driver's seat.

Huo Xiuyuan kept a calm expression, shifted gears, stepped on the gas, and drove the car out of the door, quickly onto the main road.

Huo Xiuyuan suddenly turned the steering wheel, and the jeep pulled over to the side of the road.

"What's wrong?" Shen Tang asked, puzzled.

Huo Xiuyuan leaned closer, staring into her eyes, "I couldn't hold back anymore."

Shen Tang blushed. "But we can't do it in the car."

"Can I kiss you?" Huo Xiuyuan gently brushed his thumb against her lips.

"No." Shen Tang tilted her head slightly, her fragrance wafting into Huo Xiuyuan's nose.

Huo Xiuyuan moved closer. "But I think..."

Shen Tang looked at Huo Xiuyuan's lips, curled her lips into a smile, and lightly touched them.

Huo Xiuyuan held the back of her head and kissed her carefully, afraid of getting her lipstick dirty.

"We'll kiss again tonight."

Huo Xiuyuan gently rubbed the lipstick off the corner of her mouth, his voice hoarse with suppressed emotion.

Shen Tang stared at him, her lipstick smeared onto his lips, making her look exceptionally alluring.

She hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him, panting, "It's okay, we'll apply it later. Let's enjoy ourselves while we can."

Huo Xiuyuan's eyes darkened, and he hooked his large hand around her waist, kissing her deeply and fiercely.

half an hour.

Shen Tang, slightly out of breath, took out a handkerchief, stared into Huo Xiuyuan's eyes, and wiped away the lipstick from her lips one stroke at a time.

"I'll help you." Huo Xiuyuan's eyes were tinged with intoxication.

He took the handkerchief from Shen Tang and gently, carefully wiped his face.

He couldn't resist giving him another light peck. Shen Tang laughed, took the handkerchief, wiped the lipstick off Huo Xiuyuan's lips, removed the lipstick, and quickly touched up her makeup.

Huo Xiuyuan kept staring at her.

"Let's go!" Shen Tang said with a smile, "Commander Huo's composure is lacking."

Huo Xiuyuan pulled her hand over, placed it on the gear shift lever, and started the car.

"You're too alluring." Huo Xiuyuan's voice was full of pleasure.

"Is this a compliment?" Shen Tang asked with a smile.

"Of course," Huo Xiuyuan glanced back at her, "but you can only seduce me."

Shen Tang smiled and looked out the car window, which was slightly ajar. A gentle breeze was blowing, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of nature.

Shen Tang took a deep breath. That feels so good!

When the car arrived in town, people on both sides of the street glanced at Shen Tang a few more times.

"Shen Tang is back? She looks so beautiful! She's like a completely different person."

"Yeah, the performing arts troupe really takes good care of people. Shen Tang, what brings you back this time?" someone asked.

Huo Xiuyuan took a step forward, took Shen Tang's hand, and said, "I'm going to marry Shen Tang. Come back and get the certificate."

Everyone around was stunned; no one expected that Shen Tang would approach the regimental commander.

Someone whispered, "Shen Tang is really lucky. She's been married before, and she still managed to marry the regimental commander?"

"Oh no, she'll be an officer's wife from now on."

Huo Xiuyuan took Shen Tang's hand and walked towards the brigade office.

"Oh my, they really are a perfect match, what do you call a handsome man and a beautiful woman?" someone said with a laugh.

"This girl's suffering has finally come to an end," an old lady next to her said, wiping her eyes. "If Shen Tang's parents were still alive, they would be relieved to see her like this now."

"What's there to be worried about? Marrying her would just mean living like a widow!"

A sharp, sarcastic voice rang out from the crowd; though it was lowered, everyone heard it.
