Of course I deserve anything you'll find in the capital city! It is a reward to keep my mouth shut! Aren't you concerned that I might go there and warn him first since you are saying that you're going to dig his details? Anyway, don't flatter yourself. You won't even come closer to him. You will be surrounded by a platoon of soldiers even before you get a chance." It seemed that they were having a casual chat. But in reality, Leena said those words to hint that her husband had a military background. This was their unique way of communicating. They had been friends for years. Sometimes, they could even read each other's mind through gestures. Leena was being honest with Patricia. She was her close friend and there was no need to hide her husband's identity from her.
"So what is his name? You could not possibly still keep it as a secret!" Patricia was slightly shocked to find out that Leena's husband was from the military. Now she was really eager to know about his name!
"Kevin Gu. I will introduce you to him properly when I get a chance." Leena knew her husband well. He would feel offended if she kept him from all her friends. It was quite important for him to get to know her social circle. She should at least introduce him to her friends as he wished. It was nice of him to try to get involved as much as possible in her life. She felt flattered by the thought.
"Excellent! I have never met a real Major General in my life before! I hope he is a good-looking man! You know me, I only talk to handsome men. If your husband is not up to my standard then don't expect me to be friendly to him." Patricia gave Leena a profound look. She had her unique cool way of expressing herself. Leena didn't take her words seriously as she knew Patricia was just joking around.
"Whatever floats your boat! I don't care if you talk to him or not." Leena pouted her mouth and pretended to be annoyed at her friend. She was pondering why on earth would Patricia judge a person by his look. Shouldn't she value a person according to his personality?
"So, he is not that handsome, I guess? Are you serious? Is he an ugly man? What were you thinking, girl? You are supposed to spend decades of your life with your other half. You could have at least found yourself a hot dude! But anyway, I am more interested to know how you two met. When did it happen? I would never imagine this kind of person walking into your life!" Patricia stared bluntly at Leena. She knew that Leena was keeping something from her and she was eager to find out what it was. They had been good friends for years but she never heard the name Kevin Gu being mentioned once. She was surprised to hear about him. She started to wonder whether she really knew Leena that well.
He is definitely not ugly! He is such a fascinating guy. I hope you are not trying to steal him from me!" Leena laughed and teased Patricia. She knew Patricia was an open-minded girl and would not be offended by her harmless joke.
"Good for you, Leena! I am glad that you think I am capable of stealing your man's heart. You have finally realized that I am the prettier one here." With her loose hair twisting around her finger, Patricia pretentiously winked at Leena. She looked so flirtatious that Leena almost spat the coffee out of her mouth.
Shocking! Look at you and your flirtatious move! I have to say, I am not a match to that at all." Leena covered her mouth with both of her hands and tried hard not to burst out laughing. She was greatly amused by Patricia.
"Shut up! I know what you are thinking right now. You bad girl!" In reaction, Patricia cracked a big smile on her face and turned her head away. She knew that Leena was holding back her laughter hard. Nonetheless, she was glad that her poor acting just now amused Leena.
"Hey, I am not the one who is flirting around here. You have always teased me. Now it is my turn to tease you back! Every dog has his own day. You have suppressed me long enough and it is my time to shine!" Leena couldn't hold back her laughter anymore. She proudly raised her chin up and looked all triumphant.
"Is he nice to you?" Patricia looked at Leena in the eyes as she sincerely asked the question. It was to her greatest surprise that Leena chose a military man as her husband. It never occurred to her that Leena would make such a bold choice.
"Of course, I love him." Leena sighed sweetly as she lightly stirred the coffee in her mug. She was always serious when it came to her husband. The topic apparently meant a lot in her heart. Even the tone of her voice changed, she was no longer playful.
"Are you happy?" Patricia sensed the seriousness of Leena's tone and gazed at her warmly. She wanted to make sure that her friend was living her dream life.
"I am very happy." Leena gave her an assuring look. Her smile was genuine and it instantly made Patricia understand her. She felt truly happy for her.
"My blessings to you, girl!" Patricia extended her hand and gave Leena a splendid smile.
"Thanks, hun." With these words, Leena caught Patricia's hand and held it tightly. She felt greatly blessed to have a friend like Patricia. They didn't even need many words, just a mere look, and the lady could magically fill her heart with warmth.
Leena drove directly to FX International Group after bidding goodbye to Patricia. She thought that it would be nice to visit Mr. Mu as it was still early. She remembered what Daisy had told her before and that urged her to see him in person.
