Chapter 217: Chapter 217

On the day before the exercise, when Ye Hao was assigning tasks.

He assigned Yang Lin to Chen Jun.

"The doctor’s safety is crucial. Chen Lianzhang, you are responsible for closely protecting Doctor Yang."

"I don’t need protection."

As soon as Yang Lin heard that Chen Jun was to protect her, she immediately objected.

"Doctor Yang, this is no joke. We must ensure your safety, understood, Chen Lianzhang?"

Ye Hao said to Yang Lin with a smile and then shouted at Chen Jun in a commanding tone.

"Understood, I will ensure Doctor Yang’s safety."

Chen Jun shouted loudly.

Yang Lin looked at Ye Hao’s expression, not wanting to say more, and then at Chen Jun’s somewhat happy face, got angry, and went straight back to the infirmary.

When the day of the actual exercise arrived.

Even though it was their own troops.

To test how well the soldiers usually trained, it was all conducted as if on an actual battlefield.

From the first day Yang Lin regretted coming.

As a military doctor, she had to carry a medical kit and move with the troops.

If any soldier fell or got hurt.

She had to rush over immediately.

At first, when Chen Jun offered to carry the medical kit for her, she refused, but later she was so exhausted that she couldn’t take it anymore.

She handed the medical kit over to Chen Jun.

After the exercise started, she found it even harder to get close to Ye Hao.

Yang Lin started to get anxious. She initially thought that being able to stay with Ye Hao every day here would help them grow closer, and then other things would naturally follow.

But now, not only was there no time for developing feelings, even meeting once was difficult.

Her belly would get bigger in the future.

And the longer she delayed, the more noticeable it would become.

Even if she smoothly ended up with Ye Hao eventually, there would be a big issue with the timing being off.

Yang Lin still didn’t know that Ye Hao had recovered his memory.

That’s why she thought of trapping Ye Hao.

But she didn’t expect that the one trapped in the end would be herself.

Chen Jun, who was always following Yang Lin, noticed some of her usual physical reactions.

He had actually guessed the truth, but it seemed Yang Lin didn’t intend to tell him.

Chen Jun guessed that Yang Lin intended to play a trick on Ye Hao.

That night, a directive came from the top, saying that they’d rest for the night.

Upon hearing this news, Yang Lin was overjoyed.

She thought her opportunity had finally arrived.

Chen Jun saw that Yang Lin was unusually excited today, but she also seemed a bit nervous.

So, he was extra cautious.

He discovered that Yang Lin had been observing the area around Ye Hao’s tent, and later she claimed to be tired, telling Chen Jun to go rest too.

Chen Jun agreed, but after Yang Lin went in, he didn’t leave.

He listened to the sounds of water pouring inside, followed by stirring noises a moment later.

He quickly went to find Ye Hao, but Ye Hao was not in the tent.

He watched as Yang Lin brought something over in a cup.

Quickly hiding behind the tent.

Yang Lin was stopped by a soldier while bringing the cup.

However, as she was a military doctor, the soldier didn’t suspect much and let her into the tent.

Chen Jun searched the camp but couldn’t find Ye Hao.

Just when he was feeling disheartened, he saw Ye Hao and Li Yifan walking back from outside.

He quickly went up to them.

"Chen Lianzhang, what are you doing here?"

Li Yifan looked at Chen Jun, quite puzzled. Generally, except for sleeping at night, he followed Yang Lin everywhere.

"I have something to discuss with the Captain."

Chen Jun glanced at Li Yifan, then at Ye Hao.

"It seems like something I shouldn’t hear, so I’ll take my leave first."

Li Yifan was quite tactful.

"Chen Lianzhang, what’s going on? What did you want to discuss?"

Ye Hao looked at Chen Jun, feeling less and less impressed by him.

"Captain, Doctor Yang is in your tent. She brought a drink for you, but you shouldn’t drink it."

Chen Jun quickly expressed his stance.

"Was something added to the drink?"

Ye Hao guessed that Chen Jun had noticed that Yang Lin’s mind wasn’t on him at all, and since Yang Lin constantly showed her affection towards Ye Hao, he figured that when Chen Jun mentioned the drink and warned him not to drink it, Yang Lin was running out of patience, making Chen Jun somewhat anxious. Was Chen Jun about to confess his and Yang Lin’s relationship to Ye Hao?

Ye Hao asked deliberately.

"Captain, I’ll be honest with you. I have been intimate with Yang Lin, and she’s pregnant with my child. However, she doesn’t see me as enough now and always wants to be with you. Knowing you divorced, she believes there’s no barrier between you two. Today, she might want to solidify your relationship."

Chen Jun purposely didn’t mention that Yang Lin was drunk.

Saying it this way made Yang Lin seem promiscuous and opportunistic.

Ye Hao also realized that it was Chen Jun who had spread the rumor around the camp about his divorce from Gu Yi.

Li Yifan had once mentioned it unintentionally to Yang Lin.

But it wasn’t spread throughout the camp, so it wasn’t Yang Lin who told others.

And the day rumors started spreading, Yang Lin had a conversation with Chen Jun.

It’s very likely that Yang Lin hastily mentioned it as well.

"Today you tell me this; what do you intend for me to do?"

Ye Hao looked at Chen Jun and asked.

When Chen Jun met Ye Hao’s gaze, his heart cooled. Ye Hao seemed to be watching a clown giving a clumsy performance.

"I just don’t want the Captain to fall into Doctor Yang’s trap."

Chen Jun quickly adjusted his mentality.

"She’s already pregnant with your child, so why don’t I give you a hand?"

Ye Hao said with a smile, as it seemed that Chen Jun’s real purpose today was to inform him of Yang Lin’s pregnancy, warning him that if he intended to advance through Yang Lin, he would have to become an unwitting father.

Chen Jun was momentarily stunned, never expecting Ye Hao to say that.

Chen Jun said with a half-smile.

"Of course willing, after all, there’s my own flesh and blood inside her; but I wonder if the Captain has a good plan."

Chen Jun pretended to look somewhat troubled.

"Then come over; I’ll tell you what to do next."

Ye Hao called Chen Jun to come closer, speaking his plan quietly.

After listening, Chen Jun happily walked away.

Ye Hao then went to Li Yifan.

"What did Chen Jun come to you for?"

Li Yifan looked at Ye Hao as he came in, slowly picked up his cup and took a sip, and said with a smile.

"Chen Jun said Yang Lin is pregnant with his child."

Ye Hao said nonchalantly.

"Is that to make sure you don’t have any ideas about Yang Lin?"

"Yang Lin also brought a special concoction to my place. I’m here to ask for your help."

"Wow, you seem to be quite the ladies’ man. How can I help?"

"Just assist me with a little plan to distract Yang Lin for a bit; otherwise, how can I make things right?"

Ye Hao also said with a smile.

"Sure, just make sure your wife makes me some good dishes later; I haven’t had them for so long, and I’m craving."

Li Yifan quickly suggested.

"I’ll take you out to eat instead."

Ye Hao said without hesitation.

"What’s this, I help you with such a big favor, and you won’t even let your wife cook a few dishes? You’re really indulging her."

"If I don’t indulge her, should I indulge you? At worst, when you’re pursuing a girl, I’ll give you some tips."

"Come on, learning from you is worse than figuring it out myself. Enough joking, we better go now or else we’ll keep people waiting."

Li Yifan said as he walked out first.
