Chapter 1370 A Disturbance (Part Three)
"Ah, it''s you, Miss Lu. Why are you here?" Kevin asked with a frown as he checked the time on his
wristwatch.
"Here''s the thing. I''m wondering if I could have the honor of inviting you for dinner since you saved me
smart.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Lu. Serving the people is a soldier''s pledged duty. Dinner is not
necessary." Kevin turned her offer down without hesitation. He didn''t save her in exchange for
anything. Furthermore, he didn''t want to have dinner with a woman alone.
"Major General Gu, are you looking down on me because I''m an actress? Do you think I don''t deserve
to have dinner with you?" Dorothy''s voice trembled a bit as she pretended to feel sad and dejected.
"Miss Lu, I didn''t mean it that way. I just can''t make it this time." Embarrassment washed over Kevin in
an instant. He would have rejected her offer in a more resolute way if Dorothy acted bossy. However,
she looked like she was about to cry and Kevin really had no idea on how to politely decline her offer.

He simply didn''t know women.
"If you really have no time, then I won''t push you. How about this? Will you please give me your private
number? We may have dinner next time when you''re avable," asked Dorothy. She might be a little
disappointed, but then, she was clever to know when enough was enough.
"I''m sorry, but we soldiers are not allowed to disclose our numbers." Kevin rejected Dorothy in a more
subtle way this time. He didn''t want to have a close rtionship with any woman other than his wife.
Though he didn''t think Dorothy bore malice against him, he was always alert to the possibility of getting
involved in scandals. He was a soldier and he must be a model of clean living.
"Oh, really?" Biting her lower lip, Dorothy felt embarrassed. Kevin had refused her repeatedly and it
made her feel awkward. She could sense that he was making excuses to turn her down.
"Sorry. How about this? I''ll treat you dinner if there''s a chance." Kevin gave her a nd smile. He
looked so gentle that time, thus, Dorothy couldn''t help but fall for him.
"That would be embarrassing. You saved me and I should be the one to buy you dinner," said Dorothy.
She then shed a charming smile as she felt much better after hearing his words.
"It''s okay. I''m a man, so I should be the one to pay for the bill. I have some work to finish. Miss Lu, I
gotta go now." Kevin checked his watch again. He was alreadyte and he couldn''t believe that he was
still detained by Dorothy. He was really anxious.
"Oh, okay. See you next time." An embarrassed smile cracked Dorothy''s lips. She had waited in vain
for him for more than an hour.
"See you." That was when Kevin got into his car. He then started the engine without turning his head.
Dorothy was not his wife, therefore, he did not care for her feelings at all.
Smiling bitterly, Dorothy watched how Kevin''s car drove away. It was only after the car was out of her
sight that she got into her own car. Little did she know that a paparazzo had taken their photos. The
next morning, Dorothy''s pictures together with a handsome major general went viral and became the
buzz topic among people. Moreover, a story spread that an A-lister had been saved by a young and
handsome major general recently. In addition, the story also said that the two had dated many times.
"Kevin, what''s going on?" said the Commander as he banged a newspaper on Kevin''s desk. The issue
about the fierce fight among the soldiers inside the army base had scarcely died away when Kevin''s
scandal boomed. The Commander was afraid that this might affect his entire future.
On the other hand, Kevin never really read entertainment news, thus, he had no idea as to why the
Commander was so angry at him. He picked up the newspaper and read the story with a deep frown.
"Commander, do you think the news is true?" asked Kevin in a calm voice as he put the newspaper
back on the desk. He couldn''t understand how the paparazzo was able to cook up such a long story
based on some pictures, in which Dorothy and he were chatting.
"I know what kind of a person you are but others don''t know! You are a soldier and you should stay
alert at any time. Why haven''t you discovered that you were being tracked and photographed? I''m so
disappointed at you!" The Commander shook his head with resignation. He was really annoyed by the
news and was wondering what he should do to solve the problem.
"I don''t care what others think of me. A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe." Kevin responded
with a smile and thought, ''What''s wrong with those paparazzi? How could they just cook up a story out
of nowhere?''
"This is not your private affair. The army base and even the whole army force are involved in this. We
must give the public a satisfactory answer." The Commander stared seriously at Kevin. He had known
Kevin since Kevin was a kid, thus, he knew Kevin like the back of his hand. However, the outsiders
knew nothing about Kevin, and would think ill of him. This would greatly affect the reputation and image
of army force.
"Don''t worry. I''ll handle it myself," said Kevin through gritted teeth. He really felt angry and frustrated.
Nheless, he had to face whatever problem it was and find a way to solve it. He believed that there
would be a way out.
"How are you going to solve it? People won''t believe what you are going to say." The Commander
sighed with resignation. He would be retiring in a few years and he had nned to rmend Kevin
for a higher position. However, it seemed impossible now as this situation would leave a stain in
Kevin''s personnel file. Furthermore, the fight among the soldiers had barely subsided when the army
base was again exposed in the public eyes. It would be really hard to put things in order again.
"I will find a way out. If you don''t need me for anything else, I''ll take my leave," said Kevin. The only
thing he was worried about now was that Leena might have seen the news and misunderstood him. He
had to call her now to exin everything.
