Chapter 800 The Return Of Major General Gu (Part One)


    "What are you saying?" Duke red at Belinda with burning eyes. Leena was his beloved sister, and


    everything he did was for her sake. Why would he harm Leena?


    "Now wait a minute. You got the wrong idea, Duke. I didn''t mean anything by it." Belinda twitched her


    mouth. She wasn''t stupid. She knew that what she said had irritated Duke, so she decided not to piss


    him off any more than she already did.


    Duke smirked as Belinda kept her mouth shut. He started the car and put his foot down hard on the


    elerator, zooming the two of them away. They were too busy to notice Rachel sitting in her Porsche,


    staring daggers in their direction, watching them as they pulled away. Her face was contorted with


    anger. After they disappeared on the broad street lined with trees, she also stepped on the gas and left


    the Leng Group.


    Rachel led an extravagant life. She knew how to live like ady of quality. She only bought name-brand


    items. However, she also knew that in order to live a rich life and keep herself in luxury goods, she had


    to find someone who was willing to foot the bills for hervish habits. That was non-negotiable.


    Undoubtedly, Duke was at the top of her list, so even if Belinda frustrated her for the moment, she


    wouldn''t give in easily. She believed that she could outdo Belinda and take her ce at Duke''s side.

    Deep in her heart, she knew she didn''t love Duke. She was absolutely egotistical and cared only about


    herself and her own needs. The reason why she was with Duke was that he could gratify her vanity.


    She liked his handsome appearance, noble temperament and most importantly, abundant funds. These


    were the things that she could show off. They once had a brief romance, and she still had it, so she


    was able to seduce Duke regardless of whether he was single or not. However, she didn''t expect that


    Belinda, who was aggressive and sharp-tongued, was that hard to deal with. It seemed that she had a


    long way to go before she could get what she wanted.


    In her ostentatious Porsche, she cranked up the beats, engine and stereo at full st, intoxicated by


    the speed and passion that she craved. She wouldn''t miss the wedding tomorrow. Although they didn''t


    tell her where the wedding would be held, she decided to use her connections to find it out. She would


    doll herself up, go to the wedding, and make a scene. Then everyone would know how Belinda


    seduced her ex-boyfriend and forced him to marry her. Then Duke would be hers, and his friends would


    support them.


    Darkness fell early inte autumn. When Leena woke up, the night was pressing up against the


    windows, held at bay by the marvels of modern life. She had slept for a long time. Last night, she


    worked round the clock, and she spent much time doing cleaning this morning, so she was dead tired.


    With eyes half-closed, she twisted herself into a sitting position, and sleepily staggered to the


    bathroom. Her footsteps, as well as her heartbeat, echoed in the quiet bedroom.


    Leena put up her hair and fixed it with a hairpin. After making a face in the mirror to amuse herself and


    pinching her soft and supple skin, she began to wash up.


    Her stomach was already rumbling for dinner, so she decided to grab a bite. Ramen yet again.


    Although she knew that it was not healthy, she had no other choice because it could be done simply


    and easily. She didn''t want to cook much since she had to eat her meals alone.


    She sighed at the thought. Then she went to turn on theptop on the tea table, browsing web pages


    while waiting for the instant noodles to be done. Every time she turned on theptop, she would


    habitually click the mailbox icon. She had work arrangements that her assistant and tutor sent to her.


    After she clicked the mailbox, she would usually open the emails from her tutor, because these were


    the most important messages. No exception today, of course. But she furrowed her brow after she read


    this particr email. Her tutor asked her to be at the college in two days to make final preparations to


    defend her thesis. How time flew. After that, she would graduate, and emerge from her studious cocoon


    as a beautiful and free worker butterfly.


    She wanted to go back to Paris to get her degree, but she was afraid that would make Kevin nervous.


    Last time he came back, he panicked because he didn''t find her at home. She didn''t want Kevin to


    worry about her again. However, the thesis defense would take a long time. Thesis project typically


    demanded a student''s full attention. If she went back to the university now, she couldn''t see Kevin


    when he came back, so she was at a loss what to do.


    She opened the email from her assistant. It said that the sales in this season was quite good. Most of


    the styles were booked out, and her assistant asked if she would like to add some new styles to fill the


    vacancies in the market. In the past, she would agree without hesitation, but she couldn''t this time,


    because the graduation thesis would take a lot of her time.


    The rest of the emails were not as important. They were just greetings from her friends, so she didn''t


    have to pay too much attention to them and replied one by one quickly. Her tutor''s email was the


    biggest headache. She knew that her tutor wouldn''t ask her to go back to the college unless necessary,


    but she still didn''t know how to reply to the email.


    Leena sighed helplessly. Her heavy gasps echoed clearly in the quiet living room, making her realize


    how lonely she was. She turned her eyes from theptop with a bitter smile and checked whether the


    noodles were done. She was so exhausted at noon that she went to bed without eating lunch, so her


    stomach had cried out for food. She tried to soothe her grumbling tummy by telling it she would be able


    to eat soon.


    Atst, the noodles were done. While she ate, she suddenly heard someone unlocking the door, and


    her muscles stiffened. She stared at the door with her eyes open, sat still and didn''t know what to do.


    All sorts of thoughts were running through her head. Thief? Robber? Or drunkard? But it was only


    twilight. No one got drunk so early.


    Just when she was thinking of all the possibilities, the door was gently pushed open, and Kevin


    appeared in his military uniform. She gaped at Kevin in surprise, her eyes wide. She was so involved in


    what she was doing that she hadn''t expected him home.


    "Hey, are you scared? You look like you''ve seen a ghost." Kevin frowned, pulled his suitcase in, and


    closed the door conveniently. Then he walked up to Leena slowly.


    "Ah! You scared me!" Leena immediately stood up and threw herself into Kevin''s arms, gently pounding


    on his chest, tears coursing down her cheeks.


    "Sorry. "I would have called you, but they confiscated our phones during training. It''s off now, and


    needs to be recharged." Kevin gently patted Leena''s back tofort her. During the harsh training, he


    was so tired that he had no energy to think of anyone. Even Leena''s smiling face just shed through


    his mind asionally.


    Leena buried her face in Kevin''s arms. She rushed over on the spur of the moment just now. After she


    calmed down a bit, she flushed in embarrassment. Listening to his words, she buried her head deeper.


    "Sorry I scared you. It''s all right now." Instead of pushing her away, Kevin held Leena more tightly. He


    knitted his brow at the sight of the noodles on the tea table. Did Leena always eat instant noodles when


    he was away for training?


    "I just didn''t think that you''d be back so soon." Leena sniffed back her tears. Seeing that his jacket was


    damp with her tears, she felt so embarrassed that she didn''t want to look up and meet his gaze.


    "I''m always back when training''s over and done. Don''t you want to see me?" Kevin lovingly wiped the


    tears on Leena''s cheeks. Leena burst into tears easily, just like a little spoiled girl.


    "I didn''t mean that. I just thought that you''d be gone longer, that the training would take you a long


    time," Leena anxiously exined, her eyes red from weeping.


    "Do you eat instant noodles every day?" Kevin led Leena to the couch and sat down, frowning at the


    steaming Styrofoam cup of instant noodles that she had just began to eat.


    "No, only sometimes. Did you eat dinner? I can cook for you if you''re hungry." Leena forced a smile. It


    was the first time that she had eaten instant noodles recently, and Kevin happened to see it.


    "No, but it''s a littlete now. Tell you what: I''ll go upstairs and shower. Then we can go out to dinner."


    Looking around, Kevin saw the house was clean and kept in good. When he was out, Leena must have


    taken care of the house very carefully. Everything was neatly in its ce, whether a shelf or a cab.


    He had a wonderful wife.
