She was tricked into marriage for three years, then remarried a childless, tough guy and became preg

"It's Sun Qian."

Zhao Wenjing raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Zhou Nan's eyes widened. "They're such good friends, how could this be?"

Shen Tang smiled faintly.

The fake sisterhood has shattered.

"I heard that after Sun Qian was locked up, Yang Xinyue didn't go to see her, so she bit Yang Xinyue."

Zhao Wenjing spoke in a low voice.

"Let's rest for a bit, we'll be there soon," Shen Tang said lazily, leaning back in her chair.

Zhao Wenjing then shut her mouth and tilted her head to look out the window.

The car drove past two rows of neat poplar trees and arrived at the military compound.

The cultural troupe was located inside the military compound, sharing the same compound, canteen, and gate as the troops.

As the vehicle drove into the compound, young soldiers were already craning their necks to look into it.

The team members got off the bus.

Looking at the vibrant and hormone-filled courtyard, Shen Tang couldn't help but smile.

"So many soldiers." Zhao Wenjing leaned closer, smiling with her lips pursed.

Shen Tang nudged her with her elbow.

Zhao Wenjing really doesn't know how to be discreet when she speaks.

Commander Ge looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Everyone, put your luggage back in the dormitory first, and then gather in the rehearsal building in front."

The cultural troupe's dormitory building is located on the east side of the compound; it is a three-story red brick building.

Everyone took their luggage upstairs, put it down, and went to the rehearsal building.

Upon entering the hall, one can see a performance taking place on the stage.

The girl in the lead was tall and slender, and her movements and expressions were very well done.

Shen Tang watched the performance on stage.

This is where she will truly be tested.

"Alright." A middle-aged woman in military uniform clapped her hands vigorously and said, "Pause, welcome our new comrades."

The eight dancers stopped dancing, stood in a line, and clapped.

Ge Aihua stood at the front of the line and said in a deep voice:

"This is your new regimental commander, Commander Zhang," Ge Aihua introduced. "From now on, Commander Zhang will be in charge of your training and life in the city."

Commander Zhang took a step forward, his gaze sweeping over each person's face, his voice deep and powerful:

"Our performing arts troupe currently only has eight members, and your arrival has given us new strength. However, I also want to make the rules clear here!"

"I'll only say three things. First, be on time for training. If you're late three times, you're fired. Second, be united and friendly. No forming cliques or stabbing each other in the back. Third, no dating. Your main task right now is to learn your skills, not to find a partner."

The first two were normal, but when the third one came out, someone in the group secretly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Commander Zhang glanced around. "Once you're in the cultural troupe, you're part of the organization; you must be organized and disciplined!"

Ge Aihua stepped forward with a smile and said, "There's no need to be so simplistic about dating. After all, we're not children anymore."

Commander Zhang frowned and said, "Commander Ge, since I'm in charge here, I have my own rules."

She turned to look at everyone and said, "Remember this! No dating."

Shen Tang frowned slightly.

I remembered her perverted agent who remained single his entire life.

After the team disbanded, Zhao Wenjing leaned over and whispered, "It's over, you and Commander Huo..."

Shen Tang gently tugged at her, and Zhao Wenjing turned her head back.

The girl who had led the dance earlier walked over and stared at Shen Tang, saying:

"You're Shen Tang?"

Shen Tang nodded. "What is your surname?"

"My name is Li Meihua." Li Meihua held her chin high, her face filled with arrogance. "I've heard you're a very good dancer."

Shen Tang looked at her, wondering if she had already made an enemy before even arriving.

Shen Tang smiled and said, "I still have a lot to learn from you all. After watching your performance, I realized how much I still need to improve."

Li Meihua looked at Shen Tang with some surprise.

She had intended to give Shen Tang a hard time, but it turned out to be a waste of her breath.

Li Meihua slowly approached Shen Tang and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"I'm telling you, stay away from Huo Xiu."

Shen Tang frowned.

Is this another historical fiction story, bound to have melodramatic plot twists?

Childhood sweetheart, the unrequited love?

The fiancée of a high-ranking official's son?

"Shen Tang, come out here for a moment," Huo Xiuyuan called from the doorway.

Li Meihua saw Huo Xiuyuan and immediately ran over to him.

"Brother Xiuyuan, you're back? Come to my house for dinner tonight? I'll ask my mom to make braised fish."

Li Meihua smiled, her eyes crinkling.

Shen Tang was shocked; his face had truly changed.

Just a moment ago he had a serious expression, as if he wanted to stab her a few times, but now his expression has changed.

"Holy crap, Sichuan opera face-changing?" Zhao Wenjing's eyes widened like saucers.

Shen Tang couldn't help but smile.

"No need, I have other things to do."

Huo Xiuyuan bypassed Li Meihua and walked towards Shen Tang.

"Shen Tang, come out here for a moment. We need to finalize the follow-up arrangements for the training course."

"Okay."

Shen Tang also had something she wanted to say to Huo Xiuyuan.

Li Meihua smiled gently and said, "Shen Tang, Brother Xiuyuan is calling you! Go quickly~"

Shen Tang mimicked her sweet, coquettish voice and said, "Okay, I'll go right now."

This caused a burst of laughter from everyone.

Li Meihua clenched her fists as she watched Shen Tang follow Huo Xiuyuan out of the hall.

Yang Xinyue walked up from behind, extended her hand to Li Meihua, and smiled:

"Hello, my name is Yang Xinyue."

Li Meihua crossed her arms, looked at her coldly, and curled her lip:

"Is this the musical instrument your dad donated?"

Yang Xinyue's smile froze, and she tugged at the corners of her mouth, saying:

"Yes. It's just a small contribution, nothing much."

"They got in through connections, and they still think they're so noble."

Li Meihua scoffed coldly, turned around, and left.

Whispers came from behind her, and Yang Xinyue stood there awkwardly.

She had never suffered such humiliation in her entire life.

Yang Xinyue clenched her hands, tears welling up in her eyes.

She originally intended to team up with Li Meihua to deal with Shen Tang, but Li Meihua publicly humiliated her.

Yang Xinyue's eyes flashed with fierceness as she turned and walked out of the hall.

Shen Tang followed Huo Xiuyuan forward, and when they reached a large tree, Huo Xiuyuan stopped.

He turned to look at Shen Tang, "Li Meihua and I have no relationship now."

"Now?" Shen Tang seized on the loophole in his words.

Huo Xiuyuan's tone turned serious, and he frowned as he said, "We did discuss marriage before."

"Are you getting married already?" Shen Tang clicked her tongue. "What a jerk, turning around and saying there's nothing between you two."

"What big pig's trotter?" Huo Xiuyuan asked anxiously. "It's because I was injured. She thought I was crippled and was afraid of living a life of widowhood, so it didn't work out."

"So you were abandoned, and you must be very sad inside, right?" Shen Tang looked at Huo Xiuyuan pitifully.

"Shen Tang, can you be serious for once?" Huo Xiuyuan said sternly.

"How can you be so serious? I just got here and I'm being targeted because of your mess. Why should I put up with it? Quickly tell your so-called sister that we have nothing to do with each other and don't come looking for me again. I'm going to focus on my career."

Shen Tang said irritably.

"How can you say it has nothing to do with us?" Huo Xiuyuan grabbed her wrist. "We've kissed, we've touched, and you're telling me it has nothing to do with us?"

Shen Tang shoved him away. "Commander Zhang said no dating. Are you trying to kill me?"

Huo Xiuyuan clenched his fist. "Okay, I can keep it a secret. But we can't break off contact."

"Have you ever kissed or touched Li Meihua?" Shen Tang asked Huo Xiuyuan, squinting at him.

"I've only ever kissed you," Huo Xiuyuan said in a low, earnest voice.
