Chapter 312 The Chief... understands his feelings for Weiwei?
When Liang Liangwei's car was stopped outside the military compound, she wasn't too surprised. She had only bought the car this year, and the license plate number hadn't even been entered into the compound's access control system. Given the strict security at the military compound, stopping a car was normal.
She opened the door, got out of the car, and walked towards the guard post.
As she passed the sentry post, the young soldier on guard saw her but didn't react much except for a slightly puzzled expression. She glanced at him too; he was new and she didn't recognize him.
The young soldiers in the military compound are constantly changing, but the sergeant in the guard post is an old acquaintance. When he saw her through the window, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately opened the door and came out, smiling and saluting her.
"Miss Liang, you're back? It's been a long time."
Liang Liangwei smiled at him and said, "Company Commander Xu, it's been a long time. This is my new car. Could you please help me enter it into the system? I'll be driving this car often when I come back."
Company Commander Xu: "Okay, please wait a moment."
After a series of steps, the data was successfully entered into the system, and her car was allowed to pass.
Company Commander Xu walked to the sentry post and asked the young soldier, "Did you remember the license plate number of that vehicle?"
The young soldier nodded: "I'll remember."
Company Commander Xu: "That's Commander Liang's daughter. We can let her go directly from now on."
Liang Liangwei drove her car into Commander Liang's courtyard, parked it, and got out of the car with her bag, walking towards the main house.
Outside, it was already dark, but inside, the lights were on, and a delicious aroma wafted out – the familiar taste of Aunt Fang's cooking. Liang Liangwei took a deep breath, feeling quite pleased.
While walking, he took the opportunity to reply to Yan Zhixu's message.
He had sent her a WeChat message earlier to ask if she had arrived home, but she was driving and didn't reply. He only had time to reply now.
[You're home! Have you gotten off work yet?]
Yan Zhixu: [Getting ready to go to a social engagement.]
Liang Liangwei: [So you're not going home tonight either?]
Yan Zhixu: [My girlfriend wasn't coming home with me, and I was bored at home, so I added a social engagement at the last minute.]
That's making it sound like he never came home for dinner when he didn't have a girlfriend.
Liang Liangwei smiled as she read her boyfriend's reply. Just then, she walked to the door of the main house, and Commander Liang opened the door. Before she could even wipe the smile off her face, Commander Liang saw her.
"What's making you laugh so happily?"
Liang Liangwei's smile froze instantly, and she gave a dry laugh: "...Dad, it's nothing, I just saw a joke."
Commander Liang glanced casually at her phone, not paying any attention, and then turned his gaze to the car behind her: "Bought a new car?"
Liang Liangwei: "Yes, new energy vehicles."
She noticed that Commander Liang's gaze was fixed on her car and hadn't left her. She followed his gaze and saw the passenger seat of her car.
The passenger seat? Does he think something might happen in the passenger seat?
Turning her gaze away, she saw Commander Liang's eyes fixed on the courtyard gate behind her. She turned to look there as well.
There was nothing at the gate except for a street lamp that was lit up there.
Liang Liangwei turned back in confusion, looking at Commander Liang: "Dad, what are you looking at?"
Commander Liang looked at her meaningfully and snorted, "You yourself have forgotten everything."
Liang Liangwei tilted her head, looking completely bewildered: "...Huh? What did I forget?"
Commander Liang put his hands behind his back and said, "It's nothing, let's go inside."
He turned around and walked towards the main house first.
Just as Liang Liangwei was about to follow, she heard Shen Zhengming's voice from behind: "Commander, Weiwei."
She stopped and turned around, seeing Shen Zhengming walking in through the main gate, smiling at her and Commander Liang.
Liang Liangwei raised an eyebrow and said, "You're pretty fast too."
Shen Zhengming walked up to her, saluted Commander Liang first, and then replied, "My car was right behind yours. I saw your car drive into the compound, but you could drive in while I couldn't, so I was delayed by a few minutes walking."
He handed her the bags he was carrying: "These are pastries I bought for you, including some five-nut shortbread, which is the commander's favorite flavor."
Liang Liangwei frowned: "Didn't I tell you not to buy it?"
Shen Zhengming laughed and said, "I was just passing by, it was on my way. I've already bought it, so let's take it inside."
Commander Liang looked at them meaningfully: "You two agreed to drive here together?"
Liang Liangwei could only accept the pastries Shen Zhengming offered, thank him, and walk past Commander Liang into the house: "We did agree to come today, but he went his way and I went mine, we weren't going together."
Shen Zhengming met Commander Liang's scrutinizing gaze and subconsciously explained, "Commander, I did ask Weiwei if she wanted me to pick her up, but she said her workplace was outside today and she drove herself, so we came separately."
Commander Liang said "Oh," smiled knowingly, and gestured for him to come in: "Come in, the food will be ready soon, come inside and eat."
After Liang Liangwei entered the house, she casually placed the pastries on the coffee table.
Aunt Fang came out of the kitchen carrying the stir-fried dishes. When she saw Weiwei, her eyes lit up: "Weiwei's back? Dinner's almost ready, come and wash your hands and eat."
Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "I'll put my things upstairs and then come down."
When Commander Liang entered the house, he saw her walking upstairs. He didn't call out to her and went straight to the living room.
Shen Zhengming followed behind.
The two sat down on the sofa.
Shen Zhengming noticed that the pastry bags on the coffee table hadn't been opened at all, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
He carefully selected all the pastries according to Liang Liangwei's favorite tastes, thinking that girls would be happy to see pastries, and she would be no exception. However, she didn't even have the desire to look at them.
He couldn't help but chuckle bitterly to himself.
Commander Liang's sharp eyes subtly scrutinized Shen Zhengming, a complex expression flashing in them.
Could it be that Weiwei's reluctance to accept the Fu family's grandson is because of him?
But if you like him, why not say it?
Afraid that his father would object?
Shen Zhengming's background was indeed rather ordinary; his parents were ordinary civil servants in a small town, which was incomparable to the Fu family.
However, he has good personal qualities and works hard. If he hadn't been injured during a mission and hadn't been unable to use a sniper rifle and had to retire, his status in the military would probably be even higher now.
After retiring, he took over as CEO of Ningjia Group and did a great job. If the two of them could be together, they would make a very good match.
Thinking of this, his expression softened.
Her gaze shifted from Shen Zhengming to the bag of pastries, and she said, "You bought these pastries especially for Weiwei? How thoughtful."
Shen Zhengming smiled, reached out and opened one of the pastry bags, saying, "There are also the Five-Nut Pastries that the Chief likes. When I went there, the shop had just baked them, and they were very crispy."
Commander Liang: "Just buy some to make Weiwei happy, why are you still thinking about me? I haven't eaten pastries in a long time."
Shen Zhengming: "Just coaxing Weiwei isn't enough, we also have to please the Chief, after all, I shamelessly came here to freeload today..."
He made a casual joke, but halfway through, he realized something was off and glanced at Commander Liang.
Commander Liang looked at him thoughtfully, as if hinting at something, which startled him.
The commander... understands his feelings for Weiwei?
