Chapter 727 Came Across Louisa Again (Part One)
Meanwhile, Daisy was pacing towards the canteen situated in the army base. Her face was covered
with sweat and she was a little short of breath. She had justpleted an armed cross field race with
her soldiers. Together, they covered a solid distance of five kilometers. With her heart still beating fast,
Daisy gasped for air as she walked steadily to the canteen.

It was twelve o''clock and it was well past lunch time. Fortunately, the canteen kitchen was still in
operation and was able to provide hot meals for the soldiers. The soldiers stopped talking as soon as
Daisy stepped into the dining hall. She smiled and said, "Hey guys, don''t mind me. I won''t bite. Please
feel at ease." Daisy looked around the tables, each of the soldiers was still covered in sweat.
Nheless, nobody bothered to take a shower to freshen up as they were utterly hungry due to the
training. Even Daisy herself went here to eat first without wiping away her sweat.
The soldiers went back to eating upon hearing her words. The meals were very delicious that they
didn''t even find time to talk to one another. However, Daisy could tell that they were not as at ease as
before, since she showed up here.
Daisy was not picky at all in terms of her diet. She never demanded special treatment and always
dined out in the canteen just like her soldiers. She enjoyed the food as much as they did.
"Colonel, I am here." Mark stood up and waved at her direction. He had already prepared something
special for her to enjoy. He had originally nned to bring the food to her office, so it was a bit of a
surprise for him to see her in the canteen.
Daisy pursed her lips and walked towards Mark''s table. Although she had told the soldiers to feel at
ease while she was around, they still behaved properly in her presence. Daisy was their colonel after
all and they didn''t dare to misbehave in front of their higher official. The soldiers respected their colonel
sincerely and intended to act in a proper way whenever she was around.
"Don''t mind me. Just eat! We still need to attend to somethingter on." Daisy pulled a chair over and
casually sat down. She acted gracefully in spite of the stares from the soldiers. She was not feeling
awkward at all.
"Yes, Colonel." Mark nodded swiftly to what Daisy said. However, he wasn''t able to stop his curiosity
from asking more about their agenda. "What are we going to do?"
"You are a soldier and it is your obligation to obey direct orders. Stop asking questions and just do what
I tell you to do." Daisy cast a cold nce at him and turned to her meal. A spoon after another, she
didn''t speak anymore.
Mark pressed his lips together firmly. Smart soldier as he was, he knew when to stop and be silent. It
was not the right time to keep questioning his higher official. Confronting an angry colonel who had just
Daisy''s lips curled up gently. A sense of knowing was in her witty eyes. She knew Mark well enough to
tell he was not at ease at the moment. He was a man who always wanted to get to the bottom of
things. It must have killed him that he was forced to keep silent.
Daisy went back to her apartment to freshen up after the lunch. Then she headed towards her office.
To her great surprise though, she came across Louisa Ye on her way. Daisy couldn''t care less about
Louisa but she simply couldn''t ignore her existence, either. She still had the manner to greet her
properly as a reputed colonel.
"Good to see you, Miss Ye. Are you here for the Commander? He happens to be out visiting other
bases. I think he should be back by this evening." Daisy''s face was nk as she spoke to her in a calm
voice. She was somewhat indifferent yet polite.
"Who said that I am here for him? I only came here because he is away." Louisa raised her chin up as
she nced at Daisy arrogantly. Her voice was cocky and she looked proud.
"Well, in that case, I shall not waste your time anymore. Goodbye!" Daisy shook her head and was
about to walk away. She intended to help Louisa by saving her the trouble of waiting there pointlessly. It
was unexpected that the woman turned out to be offended by her kind gesture and regarded her as a
threat. It never urred to her that Louisa would bother toe here for someone else other than the
Commander. She found herself stupid for caring too much about other''s business.
"Hold on." Suddenly, Louisa called out to her. "Do you have the key to Major General Gu''s apartment at
the military base?" She looked at her earnestly as if hoping to get something really precious from her.
"The key to Major General Gu''s apartment? Why are you asking for it?" Daisy stopped and turned
around. Her eyebrows furrowed. She stared at Louisa with scrutiny and wondered what was she after.
A bad feeling seized her and darkened her face all of a sudden.
"I need to get ess to his apartment. I just want to have a quick look. If you do have the key, just
hand it over to me. If you don''t, then why are you asking so many questions?" Louisa pouted her lips as
she gave her an impatient nce. She didn''t like Daisy at all, but what she disliked about her most was
Daisy''s indifference and cold pose.
"Sorry, but no. I can''t give you the key without the owner''s permission." A strange thought came to
Daisy''s mind. Was it possible that this Louisa was having a crush on the Major General? Was she even
aware of the fact that he was a married man?
"Hey, you sound like you do have his key! So what is your deal with him? What is the rtionship
between you and him? Howe you have the key to his apartment?" Louisa rudely examined Daisy
from head to toe. Her eyes were full of doubts.
"You are right. I do have a key to his apartment. As per the rtionship between me and him, well, let''s
put it this way, we are like a family!" Edward always treated Leena as his own sister. Therefore, it sort
of made sense that Kevin could be viewed as his brother-inw. Daisy thought it was just fair that she
imed them as parts of her family. It was a valid statement based on facts.
"What? You and him? You..." Louisa''s finger was trembling when she pointed at Daisy. She was
shocked to face the truth. Things couldn''t be like what she had doubted. If Daisy and Kevin were a
couple, what chances did she have still? Her eyes were full of disappointment as she stared at Daisy in
disbelief.
"We what?" Daisy''s eyebrows furrowed deeper. She was greatly offended by Louisa. She hated to be
pointed at by others.
"Are you and Major General Gu a couple?" Louisa clenched her fists. She stared at Daisy''s mouth
expectantly in fear of hearing something uneptable from her.
"No. Things are not like what you think. We arerades." Daisy gave her a cold look. She had no
interest in her intentions. The questions she asked her were all pointless and she had no idea why she
kept throwing these questions at her.
"What a relief to know! I am d you are not a couple!" Louisa pressed both of her hands on her chest
as she gasped rapidly. She looked as if she had been chased by a ghost.
"Miss Ye, do you have any other questions? If there''s none, please excuse me." Daisy still had other
things to attend to this afternoon. She didn''t wish to waste her time here with Louisa.
"Hey, wait! If you are not his girlfriend, then why did he give you his key then?" Louisa raised her voice
and confronted her with another rude question. It was evident that she had no intention of letting the
topic go easily. She was so stubborn that she had to get to the bottom of the matter.
"I just exined to you. The Major General and I are like a family. We are really close to each other. Of
course I would have a copy of his key to the apartment. It''s natural!" Daisy could have kicked herself for
telling Louisa about the key. It seemed that she had just scheduled herself for a big trouble. If she had
known better, she would not have told her about anything in the first ce! It was really frustrating that
she had to deal with this kind of situation now.
