Second Marriage with the Alliance Marshal

After waking up with an aching head and seeing the incoming messages, Xu Xinghe felt like they were speaking in riddles. Annoyed, he was prepared to scold a few sentences before returning to sleep, when his eyes suddenly swept over the top lines of the conversation.

Xu Xinghe: “How did you know that he sent flowers??”

Ling Changfeng’s schedule has also been kept secret, and he rarely shows up in public. How did Lin Qi and the others know about the flowers?

Thinking of this, Xu Xinghe scrolled up the group chat with a guilty conscience, almost thinking that he had sleepwalked and told them last night.

Lin Qi: “The headline of T Club’s gossip is that Marshal Ling personally went to Xingmeng Avenue to buy flowers yesterday afternoon!”

After finishing speaking, he also sent a screenshot of the report on T Club’s official website.

Ling Changfeng was standing in a famous high-end flower shop on Xingmeng Avenue, with only two guards beside him. Behind him was a flower wall made up of a dazzling array of jewels and flowers.

Holding a bunch of red roses in his arms, his neat military uniform seemed out of tune with the romantic scene around him at first glance. But on closer inspection, there was a sense of unexpected romance.

Xu Xinghe: “…”

Xingmeng Avenue is the most famous commercial street in Nebula City. There are countless high-end shops on both sides of the street, and it is full of people all the year round.

Xu Xinghe couldn’t imagine Ling Changfeng openly appearing in such a place to buy flowers.

Unless there’s a special reason, it’s almost impossible to clear the streets of people.

Moreover, Marshal Ling obviously had no plans to clear the field, and didn’t even try avoiding people.

Looking through the photos, one at a time, Xu Xinghe saw Ling Changfeng calmly get off the car, select flowers, pay, and receive the goods himself, all while ignoring the gazes of those around him.

Although his face was expressionless the entire time, Xu Xinghe seemed to detect that Ling Changfeng was in a good mood at the time.

Xu Xinghe found it difficult to understand.

What about Marshal Ling’s secretary? What about his adjutant? Or subordinates?

Why did he have to buy flowers himself? Couldn’t he just sit and wait for the flowers to be delivered to the door!

Xu Xinghe thought about it and was really curious.

But it was not easy for him to ask Ling Changfeng this kind of question, so he struggled for a moment and sent an email to Qin Yuan.

Adjutant Qin was probably not busy, and he called back directly.

As soon as Xu Xinghe picked up the call, he heard Qin Yuan complain: “You’ve seen the news, right? Are you angry? There are so many people on Xingmeng Avenue. Isn’t he just increasing everyone’s work! Especially the people from the Security Bureau – they were scared to death yesterday! I protested strongly to him and made a lot of suggestions, but he rejected them all! The few minutes he got out of the car, Lewis’ heart almost leapt out of his throat!”

The machine gun-like words finally woke up Xu Xinghe’s hazy mind. Helplessly leaning against the headboard, he asked, “You still didn’t answer me. Why did he insist on going to buy flowers himself?”

Qin Yuan: “He said that it was the first time that he sent flowers to you, so he has to handle the whole process himself in order for them to count as the flowers he sent! I told him to let the secretary order them and he can deliver it himself, but he still didn’t agree. To be honest, when it comes to sending flowers, does it matter who orders them? The important thing is the person who sends them! Would you not accept the flowers because I ordered them? Certainly not. It’s a pity that our boss Ling has lost his mind… Sir!!”

With a scream from Qin Yuan, the call was hung up with a snap.

Xu Xinghe: “…”

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, he felt a little embarrassed at being caught. The tips of his ears felt a little warm.

Thinking about it, he should give Ling Changfeng a gift. Even if it is not a return gift for buying flowers, he should at least choose a thank you gift.

After all, he hadn’t thanked him properly for rescuing and bringing him back.

Xu Xinghe sat on the bed for a while, and then reopened the group chat.

His tone suddenly became more polite.

Xu Xinghe: “I have a question for you.”

Lin Qi: “You say, don’t be so polite.”

Xu Xinghe: “What do you usually give as gifts to friends?”

Lin Qi: “Ah, it won’t be flowers.”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

Cheryl: “Are you asking for a colleague this time?”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

Vincent: “What kind of friends are they?”

Xu Xinghe: “Just ordinary friends, like you.”

Lin Qi: “? After four years of co-sleeping experience, I’m only an ordinary friend? Goodbye, our friendship has come to an end.”

Xu Xinghe: “Don’t make rumors, is sharing a dorm room the same as sharing a bed? And didn’t I move out when I was a junior?”

Lin Qi: “You have changed, you never denied the matter of sharing a bed with me before, and always answered ‘what’s wrong with father and son sharing a bed?’”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

Cheryl: “Don’t joke around, Brother Xu is no longer the single dog of before. Do you want to grab the bed with Marshal Ling?”

Lin Qi: “??? I’m not, I didn’t spread rumors”

Lin Qi: “I’m sorry I’m wrong!!!”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

He really wants to block this group of people.

Xu Xinghe: “Answer the question.”

Vincent: “What occasion are you giving a gift? Birthday gift? New year gift? Wedding anniversary gift?”

Xu Xinghe: “Thank you gift”

Vincent: “Then follow the same thing when you usually give us a birthday present. Whatever □□ scarf works…”

Xu Xinghe: “…so meaningless, is there a more expensive gift?”

Lin Qi: “? New ideas? To be honest, are you perfunctory when you usually pick gifts for us?”

Xu Xinghe: “Yes”

Lin Qi: “Friendship X2 (smile.jpg)”

Chillier: “My suggestion is that you make something yourself. It’s unique, and courteous while affectionate.”

Lin Qi: “I suggest a hug, or a kiss, or hearty sex.”

Vincent: “…I guess Brother Xu must be laughing at you through the screen now @Lin Qi”

Cheryl: “I guess he is”

Lin Qi: “Why??”

Vincent: “You don’t even think about it. They’ve been married for several months, and should’ve gone through the process many times. How can this little trick of hugging and blowing kisses stack up?”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

Hehe, the process that should be done has not been done yet.

Lin Qi: “So Brother Xu…Is the gossip true?”

Xu Xinghe thought he was referring to sending flowers, so he typed angrily and replied, “What’s true or false, haven’t you all seen the pictures?”

Lin Qi: “???”

Cheryl: “!!!”

Vincent: “Damn it! Brother Xu didn’t deny it?”

Lin Qi: “What picture? You didn’t send me any pictures”

Xu Xinghe was confused: “The pictures published by the media, what’s the matter with you?”

Lin Qi: “Where did the media get the pictures? Which one? I didn’t see it!”

Cheryl: “Wait a minute! Brother Xu, this… Is the rumor true?!”

Xu Xinghe: “? What rumor?”

Lin Qi: “Asking for leave this time… did you go for a pregnancy check?”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

Sh*t! Why isn’t this topic over yet?

 

The pregnancy joke returns.
