Chapter 734: Get Used to It

Early the next morning, Gu Lingling suddenly sat up in bed, startling Liu Yating next to her. "Lingling, what’s wrong with you?"

"Noth... nothing." Gu Lingling sat on the bed in a daze for quite a while.

Last night at midnight, Yang Yunhai dropped her off in the room and then left.

Hearing the sound of the car starting, Gu Lingling lay wrapped in the quilt, tears unknowingly flowing down.

At that moment, she realized the difficulty of being a military spouse.

Later, she didn’t even know how she fell asleep. Suddenly waking up in the morning, she thought she was dreaming. She sat up to clear her head for a moment before realizing it was not a dream.

He really left.

Maybe he was worried that Gu Lingling would feel upset, so he didn’t ask her to see him off, but instead dropped her off at Liu Yating’s room, stood by the window for a moment, and hurriedly left only when he realized he was running out of time.

"Every time my dad went on a mission, my mom was the same way," Liu Yating said. "Later, she found a lot of things to keep herself busy, so she wouldn’t think about it."

"I’m okay." Gu Lingling shook her head. "You get used to it eventually."

What military spouse doesn’t go through this?

With Beishui Village so close to the army base, and her frequent visits there, although it was her first time experiencing this, she’d heard a lot from other military spouses.

Upon heading downstairs, she unexpectedly saw Wang Shuyun there, who smiled at her and said, "Come on, today I’ll take you two girls shopping."

That rascal came home in the middle of the night, woke her up from a sound sleep, and gave her an envelope, telling her to take Gu Lingling shopping for clothes the next day.

It wasn’t until she asked that she found out Yang Yunhai had to leave on a sudden assignment.

So, first thing after waking up in the morning, she came over promptly.

"Great, great." Liu Yating hooked her arm around Gu Lingling’s. "I’m going to piggyback on your luck. Auntie, if you’re buying clothes for Lingling, don’t forget about me."

Gu Lingling knew they did this because they were worried she’d feel sad about it.

"Yating, do you feel like someone is following us?" After spending a while at the Overseas Chinese Shopping Mall, Gu Lingling quietly said to Liu Yating.

"What? Who?" Wang Shuyun glanced around, "Maybe you were overwhelmed with the crowd?"

Gu Lingling shook her head, but the feeling didn’t go away.

"Mom, shopping more?" Gu Lingling looked at the large bags being held by the group, "If we keep going, we won’t be able to carry everything."

"But we haven’t spent all the money yet." Wang Shuyun said, "As for all this stuff, someone will come and pick us up later, no worries, no worries."

So... more shopping it was.

But Gu Lingling was really too exhausted to continue walking, and Wang Shuyun noticed she was genuinely tired, "Then let’s go eat."

As for the money his son gave, they’d bring Gu Lingling out to shop again next time.

As they exited the mall, they saw a military vehicle parked there. Seeing the three of them come out, Yang Aiguo got out of the car with a smile and took the things from Wang Shuyun and the others’ hands, "You get in the car first, I’ll put the stuff in the trunk."

"Auntie, how come Uncle’s here?" Liu Yating hadn’t been home recently, so she didn’t know about Wang Shuyun and Yang Aiguo’s current situation. She was a bit surprised to see Yang Aiguo.

Wang Shuyun and Yang Aiguo used to talk very little even when they spoke, they bickered.

Mostly it was her aunt giving her uncle a hard time.

Now seeing them actually talking, the key was Aunt even called Uncle to come pick them up.

Liu Yating looked up at the sky, not having noticed when she left home this morning, wondering which side the sun rose from today?
