Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 173: Chapter 173 Refusal

Han Dong didn’t know the girl’s name, only her surnwas Yang. Coincidentally, this Yang Zhen was actually

the cousin of the spoiled young lady Yang Yun whom Gu Junming had met. They were about the sage, but

completely different in character.

Yang Zhen greeted her grandfather, went upstairs, took off her coat, and sat on the bed in a daze.

Yang Yun was sulking in the room, and when she saw her cousin return, she cover. Today, she was scolded

by her grandfather for being immature, and he even told her to go to the military after New Year for training.

When she complained to her father, he simply said: "When has your grandfather ever been wrong? Just follow his

arrangements."

Yang Yun was unwilling to suffer in the military, couldn't sleep, and knowing her cousin went for a matchmaking,

she hurried over to ask about it.

Yang Zhen smiled: "Not good."

"What do you mean by ‘not good’? Was it unsuccessful? You didn’t fancy him? | heard he hasn't even graduated

high school! What's so great about him? If you don’t like him, don’t meet him anymore, even just giving him a

glance is showing him respect.”

Yang Zhen didn’t speak. How could she say that it was the other party who didn’t fancy her?

Han Dong was very handsome, although he seemed casual and carefree, he was full of elegance inside. And he

was doing so well in business, so he was clearly clever, unlike anyone she had met before.

She fell for him the moment they met, but he didn’t like her. There was nothing she could do.

Yang Zhen was a smart person. Since Han Dong didn’t fancy her, she didn’t plan to keep in contact with him. She

was just a bit unhappy; it was hard to find someone she liked, only to end like this.

Yang Yun snorted: "Don’t worry! You're only twenty-four years old after New Year, why rush? It’s not like you can’t

get married."

"My parents are anxious, too. They're not your parents, they're both in the military, with plenty of choices at

hand. My conditions aren't as good as yours. If | get older, it'll be even harder to find a suitable one."

Yang Zhen'’s parents were both esteemed intellectuals, which sounded nice but actually meant they were poor,

not the kind of poverty where they couldn't eat, but compared to those around them, they didn’t stand out.

Earlier, the gap between the two sisters wasn’t obvious, but in recent years, suitors for Yang Yun cin waves,

while Yang Zhen'’s side was desolate. Even with better character and looks than Yang Yun, people’s attention was

still on Yang Yun.

Yang Yun felt pleased hearing this and laughed: "Don’t worry, cousin. I'll tell my dad, and he'll introduce someone

from the military to you."

"Okay, thank you. It’s late, | should sleep. You should rest early too."

Yang Yun saw her cousin issuing a dismissal, but didn’t get angry. After a failed matchmaking, it was

understandable, so she got up and left.

As she closed the door, she curled her lips. This cousin was inferior to her in every way, and now couldn't even

find a match, which added sdisdain in her heart as she turned away.

Han Dong had found a restaurant, drank ssullen wine, and when he left, he passed by the hotel again, not

wanting to leave. It was awfully cold, and driving wasn’t an option.

He happened to see Yang Liu instructing snight guards, preparing to rest.

"Don’t sleep too soundly. If someone comes to stay, quickly register them. There are still srooms above the

second floor; avoid letting anyone stay on the first floor, it's not warm."

The night guards quickly agreed. Yang Liu was just about to go upstairs, unintentionally glanced up, and saw Han

Dong standing there, feeling unexpectedly joyful, she quickly approached.

"Why are you here? It’s quite late."

Han Dong laughed: "I went to a matchmaking, with someone who shares your surnYang, but it didn’t work

out, so | caround. I'll stay here, too, too lazy to move. Ouch!" he said as he tripped.

Yang Liu held him, saying: "Be careful! Did you drink so much because it wasn’t smooth?" Hearing he had a

matchmaking felt quite uncomfortable to her, but hearing it didn't go well, she felt relieved, yet realized, even if

this twasn’t successful, he'd eventually find someone suitable, and her mood soured again.

"The woman was too beautiful, I'm afraid | can’t afford to keep her, what if she runs away?" he joked.

"How can you joke at a tlike this? Cin." Yang Liu laughed as she helped him into one of the rooms.

Han Dong fell onto the bed. He wasn’t really drunk, just uncomfortable, mentally weary.

Yang Liu pulled over a blanket and slowly covered him. Seeing him lying there with closed eyes, lightly breathing,

his lashes were long, eyebrows nicely shaped, cheeks flushed, and Adam's apple moving.

Yang Liu’s heart suddenly raced. She extended her hand, slowly touched his lips, he didn’t wake up. Finally,

unable to control her emotions, she leaned down and kissed his lips.

But just as she touched them, Han Dong suddenly opened his eyes.

Yang Liu was startled, almost screamed, nearly fell to the floor, caught by Han Dong’s grasp.

Furious inside, she thought she was being foolish, how could she do such a silly thing? Stumbling, she stood up,

leaned against the wall behind, embarrassedly lowered her head, face flushing.

Han Dong got up, opened his eyes to look at her, his gaze was very clear, not a hint of drunkenness.

"You like me? So want to kiss me?"

Yang Liu was so nervous her heart was about to leap out: "No. No. | just... just wanted to find something, don’t

misunderstand."

Her face turned ghostly pale, unable to say a word.

"Frightened? So you see, someone likecan’t be a qualified husband, you'd better give up early. Find a stable,

Yang Liu forced a smile and finally asked: "You like Sun Chan, don’t you?"

"es."

"But she already has a partner, they're very good together, she will marry Gu Junming."

Yang Liu didn’t respond to him, just said a bit bewildered: "I want to know, what's so good about Sun Chan? She's

just from the countryside, without much education, why do you like her so much?"
