Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

Chapter 602 Extra 2

The guard nodded: "Please wait a moment, I'll call Commander Lu's house right away!"

Chen Junyan hummed in agreement, standing in the afterglow of the setting sun, his eyes resolute yet desolate.

Just hours earlier, he was lying in his hospital bed, making his final arrangements.

"The biggest regret of my life is marrying Meng Peiyu. She made me unable to love her and unable to hate her."

My biggest regret in life is leaving the military. I couldn't dedicate my loyalty and passion, and I'll live with that guilt for the rest of my life.

Chen Junyan's assistant held his hand with heartache: "Chairman Chen, please don't say anymore, it's not your fault."

Your life has been so hard!

"After I die, half of my property will be donated to the country, and the other half will be left to Lu Qi."

Tell her not to feel pressured, and just consider it my way of thanking her on behalf of the people.

Let her focus on her research and not worry about money.

"Xiao Li, thank you for taking care of me all these years. My house and car are for you to live out your retirement. May our family be happy and harmonious..."

"Chairman Chen, please don't say anymore. I'll go find the Commander's wife right now. She definitely has a way to save you, she definitely has a way to save you!"

"I've lost too much in my life, I don't want to live anymore. She's better off gone!"

With those words, Chen Junyan closed his eyes forever.

A heart-wrenching cry erupted in the ward.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Chen, Commander Lu requests your presence!"

The words of the gatekeeper startled Chen Junyan from his memories.

He thought he would go to the underworld to atone for his sins. But when he opened his eyes, he found himself on the day of his blind date with Meng Peiyu.

In the state-run restaurant, Chen Junyan looked at the young and vibrant Meng Peiyu and thought he was being too obsessed and was having a sudden burst of lucidity.

Without hesitation, he uttered the words that had been weighing on his mind for decades—"We're not a good match."

If he had rejected Meng Peiyu back then, would his life have been different?

He was only allowed to enter the military compound after meeting the old regimental commander who had acted as his matchmaker.

Only then did Chen Junyan truly feel that he had been reborn!

He was reborn! He was actually reborn!

He had come to understand many of Meng Peiyu's actions back then. Most likely, she, too, had been reborn.

I just don't understand why they're targeting him, when there are clearly many men in the military who are better than him.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Chen has arrived. You may go in by yourself!"

The young soldier pointed to the three-story building ahead, signaling Chen Junyan to go up and knock on the door.

Chen Junyan nodded, straightened his clothes while standing still, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.

Before he could raise his hand, the door opened.

Lu Qihua waved with a smile: "Young comrade, thank you for coming to see this old man!"

"Commander Lu, greetings!" Chen Junyan gave a solemn military salute.

"Come in quickly, come in quickly. I've heard Xiao Yuan mention you. You're capable, responsible, and you've made a lot of contributions fighting alongside him."

Chen Junyan had mixed feelings: "Deputy Battalion Commander Lu is dedicated to his duties and is a capable and outstanding individual. He is a role model for us to learn from."

"He's not as good as you make him out to be. He's just a good-for-nothing."

Lu Qihua led the way, making no attempt to hide anything: "I had him go on a blind date during my vacation a while ago, but the rascal came back saying that the woman didn't show up."

I think he's the one who stood them up!

Chen Junyan sat on the sofa and took the tea that the old man had brewed: "Is the woman Meng Peiyu?"

The old man was taken aback: "You know him?"

Chen Junyan rubbed his fingers together: "To be honest, I just went on a blind date with Comrade Meng this afternoon!"

"Oh, so how did it go? Did you hit it off?"

The old man was quite open-minded: "This kind of fate is something you can't see or touch."

Comrade Meng and Xiao Yuan aren't a good match. Who knows, maybe you two are a match made in heaven.
