Chapter 2321: Chapter 2257: Shocking News
"Great Officer ng."
"Tiezhu, long ti no see."
Hearing them greet each other, Chiang Xiao realized they must know each other, despite having just introduced ng Xinian to him.
Guan Tiezhu glanced at Chiang Xiao, then suddenly said to ng Xinian, "Officer ng, these past few days I’ve overheard so families talking in town, ntioning that you might be dispatched to Ke Ku Li. Are you on the deploynt list too?"
Even soone like Chiang Xiao, who doesn’t pay much attention to international affairs, had heard about the ongoing war in Ke Ku Li.
Just hearing about country J, where war is still raging, sends chills down one’s spine.
Chiang Xiao was taken aback by Guan Tiezhu’s words and imdiately looked at ng Xinian.
In recent days, ng Xinian hadn’t ntioned anything about being deployed abroad. Could he really be hiding this from her?
Going to a place still ravaged by war, where gunfire and explosions are daily occurrences, not to ntion bombings and air raids, the danger is exponentially greater than on any mission.
Wars inevitably result in casualties.
Chiang Xiao’s heart instantly tensed up.
She stared intently at ng Xinian, not daring to miss any subtle expression on his face.
If she watched carefully, she’d be able to tell whether ng Xinian was lying, since they understood each other so well now.
ng Xinian frowned.
"I haven’t been notified. Do you know who spread this rumor?"
How could he not know while so families already did?
Guan Tiezhu shook his head, "No, they weren’t very clear either. They were mostly worried and scared. Two of them haven’t married their partners yet; after hearing about this, they plan to get married soon, just in case their partners are on the deploynt list, at least..."
At this point, he glanced at Chiang Xiao, feeling a bit embarrassed to continue.
Chiang Xiao didn’t know why, but the image of Long Xiaocai asking her if she was only eighteen flashed in her mind.
At that ti, she didn’t think Long Xiaocai looked at ng Xinian with much affection.
Moreover, from the way the woman acted, love didn’t seem to be her top priority. Long Xiaocai didn’t seem like a woman who puts love above all. She knew about Chiang Xiao, knew that ng Xinian was engaged to her.
So why would Long Xiaocai still insist on seeing ng Xinian?
What’s the reason?
Suddenly, Chiang Xiao felt this matter wasn’t as simple as it seed.
"At least what?"
She asked.
Guan Tiezhu looked at ng Xinian. ng Xinian, understanding his embarrassnt, continued in a deep voice, "At least leave a child for the family, isn’t it?"
They had experienced such things before when they were deployed.
After mobilization etings and oath ceremonies, there would be a trend in the team. Those who already had a partner would hurry ho, clarify things, and get married, consummate the marriage, then return to the Alliance to prepare for departure after the holidays. Of course, those already married but without children yet, would also hurry back and make the most of this short break.
Because with such special deploynts, there’s a high chance of not returning, and leaving a child could provide solace for the parents and loved ones.
Guan Tiezhu nodded slowly, a bit hesitant to look at Chiang Xiao.
Because if it’s true, and ng Xinian is on the list, it would be an extrely devastating news for Chiang Xiao.
They say she’s only eighteen and in her first year of college.
Could she bear a child at this ti?
