Chapter 877 Hope That You Can Do It

Needless to say, what happened this time was definitely due to Wei De.

Zhai Hua was not a new recruit who carried out her first mission. She definitely did not make such mistakes because of anxiety or nervousness.

Brother Zhai told her that on the day they had their engagement dinner, Sister Zhai Hua refused to marry Wei De. Although she seemed to be very firm, she was, in fact, indecisive and full of hesitation.

If Sister Zhai Hua had a firm att.i.tude, Wei De would have been out of the picture long ago.

“I know.” Zhai Hua took a few deep breaths. She had yet to recover from her shock.

She would regret it for the rest of her life if she had caused the death of her comrade. Since it was her brother that was implicated this time, she was all the more remorseful.

“Sister Zhai Hua, the nature of your work is different from others. If you try to occupy yourself with work so as not to think about Wei De, you can’t carry out missions wholeheartedly. It is better that you don’t carry out any mission. It’d be better to spend time training in the army than carrying out missions.” Given Sister Zhai Hua’s condition, she was risking her comrades’ and her life!

Workaholics would only exhaust themselves, but for people like Zhai Hua who had special careers, if anything went wrong, it would cost the lives of many other comrades who were with her.

“You can rest a.s.sured. I understand.”

Qiao Nan could tell that Zhai Hua was frightened and full of remorse from her heavy breathing that was heard over the phone. Since Zhai Hua was already very apologetic and Zhai Sheng, the party concerned, did not take issue with her, Qiao Nan had no right to be brusque with her. “Sister Zhai Hua, habits could be worrisome at times. You are used to having Wei De in your life and you can’t stop thinking about him. It is difficult and painful to stop this habit of yours. At times, the more that you want to stop thinking about something, the more you will think of it. Perhaps humans just have this flaw. But you have to get through the difficult times. Once you have calmed down, you will be able to stay objective when you consider your relations.h.i.+p with Wei De.”

“But before that, it is unsuitable for you to do other tasks, particularly the missions in the army.”

Because of Wei De, Zhai Hua committed a serious mistake and caused Zhai Sheng to be injured.

Zhai Hua was her sister-in-law and she was already full of regrets. Qiao Nan could not reprimand her further.

Although she could not lecture Zhai Hua, she could vent her anger on Wei De.

It was necessary for couples to have some time to think over their relations.h.i.+ps. But if they spent too much time apart, it would eventually lead to their break up. After all, love was always a moment of pa.s.sion and impulse, and as time pa.s.sed, the strong feelings would fade, and in replace would be feelings of kins.h.i.+p.

Qiao Nan decided to douse the flames of love between Wei De and Zhai Hua even before they had been ignited!

Once Zhai Hua was serious about breaking up with Wei De, there was no way that Wei De could have his way in front of the Zhai family.

Qiao Nan did not persuade Zhai Hua to give up her love for Wei De. She knew that although Zhai Hua was displeased with Wei De, she still could not bear to leave him. They had been together for years. It was no wonder that Zhai Hua could not make up her mind.

“Alright…” Zhai Hua agreed readily.

Right now, she still liked Wei De and could not stop thinking about him.

But Zhai Sheng was injured. Zhai Hua knew that she had committed a grave mistake. Furthermore, Qiao Nan was Zhai Sheng’s fiancée. Therefore, Zhai Hua would agree to anything that Qiao Nan asked of her so as to make up for the injuries that Zhai Sheng sustained.

Zhai Hua would do whatever she could to make up to him. It was better than not being able to do anything.

“Sister Zhai Hua, I am a woman as well. I understand how you must be feeling right now. Don’t be angry with me for being a busybody. If you really want to calm down, here are some other suggestions. I suppose there will be new recruits at the camp this year. Firstly, concentrate on training the new recruits. Secondly, before you have calmed down, don’t go back to Ping Cheng or go home. No matter what happens at home, Brother Zhai will be able to handle it. Thirdly, cut off all contact with Wei De during this period of time. Don’t look for Wei De. If he goes to the camp to look for you, don’t meet him. Are you able to do all of these?”

“What if he makes a phone call?” “Don’t answer!”

Qiao Nan realized that she was being too brusque. She took a deep breath. “Sister Zhai Hua, Wei De is a man, and he is thirty years old. No matter what happens, can he not handle it by himself? He should handle anything that happens by himself. Sister Zhai Hua, if you have to settle everything for him, is he your boyfriend or your son? As for other matters, there is no need to bother about it. Wei De keeps using Wei Wei as an excuse. Wei Wei is his nephew. Besides the ‘son’ that you will have, you can’t possibly have another nephew to take care of!”

Sister Zhai Hua had too much on her mind. She could not bear to part with Wei De and she had her mind on Wei Wei. It was no wonder that she would make such a grave mistake during her mission.

If Qiao Nan had not spoken to Zhai Sheng on the phone and knew that he had just had surgery, she would definitely make a phone call to Zhai Sheng to give him a lecture

As the regiment commander in the army, Zhai Sheng was too daring to allow Zhai Hua to carry out the mission given that she was in such a mental state!

“Alright, I will try to do it.”

“I want you to be certain. I don’t want you to be unsure!”

“I…” Zhai Hua gritted her teeth at the thought of Zhai Sheng’s bloodied arms. “Don’t worry. I will definitely do it. If Wei De comes to the army camp, I will not see him. I will not answer his phone call as well. I promise that I will not leave the army camp to go to Ping Cheng unless I am in a better mental state.”

Qiao Nan felt slightly better that she had the answer she wanted. “Sister Zhai Hua, don’t be too reproachful on yourself. I believe that by the time you are composed enough to handle your relations.h.i.+p with Wei De, you will be able to return to the army to carry out missions. As for the training of the new recruits, just take it as a break for you.”

“Okay.” Zhai Hua let out a long breath. What worried her most was that Qiao Nan kept silent and did not request anything of her.

Now that Qiao Nan had requests of her, Zhai Hua did not feel as stifled as before.

Of course, she had to fulfill her promise to Qiao Nan in order to feel better.

“Qiao Nan I won’t keep you from your studies. Do I dial this number if I want to contact you in the future?
