Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1568 Visiting The Army Base (Part Five)

"Really? Can we do that? I am really interested!" Leena exclaimed. She had only been in the base

once when she had come with Daisy. She was happy that she got the chance to look more closely at

the place where her husband worked.

"Of course, it's just a visit. It's no big deal. We can totally do it." Lee looked at her in confusion and

thought, 'Why is she so excited all of a sudden? Doesn't she know that she can visit the army base as

the wife of the Major General?'

"Great. But what about my car?" Leena asked, looking at her car. She couldn't leave it outside the army

base.

"We can park it in the parking lot of the army base. Let me. You are not familiar with the place," Lee

said as he opened the car door, and got into it before Leena could even reply. Ever since Major

General got married to Leena, Lee had been lucky enough to drive some expensive cars which he had

never even seen before. He was pretty much used to it now.

Leena quickly got in the car too. She didn't know if it was the right thing to do by showing up at the

army base, but she couldn't care less. After the lunch with Tom and Patricia, she had been feeling

extremely low. She didn't blame Patricia at all, because she had a point. She knew that her best friend

had no intention to hurt her whatsover. But still, it had hit her hard when she had realized that she

couldn't be close to her brothers anymore, because she didn't want to cause any disputes between the

couples. She wanted to see Kevin badly and be comforted by him.

As they drove into the army base, Leena heard the loud and strong calls of the soldiers. And it made

her feel warm. She felt closer to Kevin, and she was happy to know more about his work life.

They parked the car and started walking around the base. Walking beside Lee, who was closer to

Kevin than anyone here, Leena felt that she was being watched by everyone. They immediately

realized who she was. She heard greetings from all around her, shouting, "Mrs. Gu."

Leena was startled, because she had never heard anyone call out her name so loudly. A cute blush

appeared on her face. She nodded at them with a sweet smile. She was happy to be welcomed so

enthusiastically by them.

Maybe it was because Leena was a beautiful girl with a nice personality, the soldiers watched her with

admiring eyes. But it was mostly out of respect, as she was their Major General's wife. They would

never dare hit on Leena, no matter how pretty she was. "Looks like you are already popular, Leena,"

said Lee.

"Really? Why do you think so?" Leena was oblivious. Ever since she was a little girl, wherever she

went, she could feel eyes on her. Being watched by others was a normal thing for her. She was used to

it. Besides, as long as their gaze didn't make her feel uncomfortable, she didn't mind.

"Well, you will see for yourself," he said with a smile. Lee didn't explain further. Instead, he continued

showing her around the army base. They also met some of the officers she had met before when they

had dinner together at the military compound last year. But they only chatted briefly, because they were

all busy this time of the day.

Visiting the whole army base didn't take too long. Kevin still hadn't gotten off work by the time they had

finished the tour. It was already dinner time, and Lee was afraid that Leena would be hungry. He took

her to the canteen to have dinner. When they walked into the canteen, all eyes turned to look at them,

especially at Leena. It was also dinner time for the soldiers, so there were many people there. Many of

them had heard that the Major General had married a very rich and beautiful girl, but they had never

seen her in person. Now, they had finally got the chance to meet the woman who had stolen the Major

General's heart. Some even whistled at her in excitement. All the attention made the heat rise in

Leena's face. She was embarrassed.

When Kevin got the news and went to the canteen, there were already several soldiers around Leena's Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

table. They were looking to gossip about the Major General. The soldiers realized that Leena was

easy-going and kind, and that she was willing to talk to them. So they were not afraid of her and were

willing to hear her talk too.

"Leena, our Major General isn't romantic, is he?" a soldier with a cute face asked out of curiosity. He

didn't think that the Major General was the romantic type at all, considering how serious and harsh he

was when they were training.

"What kind of stupid question is that? You should ask Leena what she sees in our Major General,"

another soldier interrupted, making everyone else around them laugh. They were so focused on their

conversation with Leena that they didn't even notice Kevin approaching stealthily behind them.

"Yeah! That's a good question. Tell us your love story, please! We are curious." They all seemed super

intrigued by the second soldier's question. They wanted to know some juicy stories about the Major

General. Leena was a bit startled by their curiosity. Besides, that was a question Leena didn't know

how to answer. She couldn't tell them that she had a one-night-stand with the Major General, could

she? That didn't seem like a proper answer. So Leena kept her mouth shut and just smiled at them,

pretending like she didn't hear the question.

"Why don't you let me tell you our love story, huh?" Kevin asked in a cold voice, driving the whole

canteen silent. The soldiers froze for a moment and then immediately straightened their backs and

looked at him with serious eyes. The smiles on their faces had been wiped clean.

"Major General, we have finished our meal. So, we'll leave you and Mrs. Gu to enjoy your dinner now,"

a petty officer said immediately. He wanted to get the soldiers out of there as soon as possible. They

would never dare to gossip about the Major General when he was right in front of them. That would be

suicide.
