Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 452

Gu Junming thanked them, feeling a bit disappointed inside, but mostly relieved. After such a big shock, if there really was a child, it would be troublesome.

He touched Sun Chan's hair. She was sound asleep on the bed, occasionally frowning, probably having a nightmare.

Feeling distressed, Gu Junming whispered, "Wife, please wake up soon. I'm worried about you."

It wasn't until the evening that Sun Chan finally woke up, opening her eyes to see Gu Junming seriously watching her.

Sun Chan tried to sit up, but her whole body was sore, so she had to lie back down.

Gu Junming quickly held her back, "Are you okay? Don't force yourself."

"I'm fine..." Sun Chan grasped her neck, finding herself unable to speak in a normal voice, sounding very hoarse and unpleasant.

"Don't worry. Your throat got injured after being strangled by that beast. You can't speak well temporarily, but it'll be fine in a few days."

Sun Chan let out a sigh of relief and nodded, "I scared you, didn't I?"

"Am I such a coward? Don't talk anymore, take care of your throat." Gu Junming said with a smile, picking her up, "Let's go home."

Sun Chan patted Gu Junming, playfully looking at him: How can you carry me back like this?

Gu Junming kissed her nose and set her down.

Only then did the two of them affectionately head home.

But the gossip over at the courtyard wasn't over.

Various versions were circulating, very lively. Zhuang Lin was washing dishes while excitedly talking to her husband about these matters, spattering saliva everywhere.

Her husband was reading the newspaper, his brow furrowing, already aggravated. Couldn't this wife stop talking after going on for so long?

I don't care about who's fooling around or what's happening in another family, okay?

Zhuang Lin washed her hands and put the utensils away, looking out the window just in time to see Sun Chan and Gu Junming hand-in-hand coming back, pursing her lips.

"Gu Junming really has a big heart. His wife was alone with Sun Chan for so long, is there really nothing going on? I bet something did happen. Didn't you see her clothes were ripped, if it was really silencing someone, would there be a need to tear clothes..."

"Shut up!" Her husband slammed the newspaper angrily on the table and stood up sharply.

Zhuang Lin was startled, "What are you doing? Trying to scare me to death?"

"What am I doing? I tolerate you spreading nonsense every day, but if you dare say anything about Gu Junming's family, I'll divorce you!"

Zhuang Lin was dumbfounded, "Why are you like this? I was just casually talking..."

"Even that is not allowed! Sun Chan is the deputy director's wife now, someone like you can't casually gossip about her. If you want me not to get promoted, then keep talking! When I get discharged, we'll both go beg for food! Aren't you the one who loves money the most? Let's see how you'll handle it then!"

Only then did Zhuang Lin quiet down at last. She couldn't voice out her suspicions, feeling unhappy inside, but her husband's promotion was still important, so she'd better hold back.

Even if it can't bring bad luck to Gu Junming directly, disparaging him this once, and causing a strain in his relationship with Sun Chan, problematic reputation is still worthwhile. Then the leaders above would see their chaotic home life, there's no way they'll want to promote him!

After finishing the letter, he rechecked it, deleting some emotionally-revealing hateful phrases, finally feeling it was adequate, satisfied, and put down the pen, heading to bed.

Meanwhile, when Ai Mei came out, she saw the letter on the table. Liu Gang didn't mind leaving it out as she read very few words. However, Ai Mei had attended elementary school for a year, and after following him to the city for several years, she still recognized basic words.

Upon seeing the contents, Ai Mei trembled in shock, thinking—what on earth is this?

If this got out, how would Sun Chan face people? If Gu Junming were petty, the couple might not be able to stay together. Ai Mei initially felt happy, wondering if this would bring trouble to those who wouldn't help her.

But then she realized she was about to return to the village and suffer, what was the point of Sun Chan being unlucky? She wouldn't be able to see it, why feel glad?

If I could use this letter to stay here, that would be nice...

Ai Mei pondered, picked up the letter, quietly went out, and sent it downstairs. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

She hesitated but still knocked on the door.

Gu Junming, thinking about the day's events, felt uneasy. Hearing the knock outside, he quickly sat up, suspecting someone might be up to no good again. He went down and opened the door, immediately frowning at the sight of Ai Mei outside.

"What are you doing at my house at this hour?"

Ai Mei softly said, "Don't worry, it's not my personal matter. I saw him write a letter, it seems related to you guys. I came to deliver it." She handed the letter to Gu Junming, her eyes full of expectation.
