Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 162 I Can Show Her Around

"Ugh." 'That drunken night, and Kevin Gu...' Suddenly Leena's eyes were wide open as she recognized

Kevin.

"You... You... You are the..." Leena was going insane. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. The

coincidence was absurd. 'He can't be. It's just the same name. That's all.' Leena kept comforting

herself. Her initial joy of visiting the base for the first time vanished abruptly.

"Yeah, that was me indeed." Kevin saw the way she reacted. He knew that she recognized him. He

smiled at her adorable expression.

"Haha! So, we meet again!" Leena got to know what it meant to shoot one's own foot. She felt she was

doing that right now. She didn't want to stay confined in the house and so she planned to visit the

military base. Now her curiosity got her into big trouble.

"Oh, you two know each other!" Daisy Ouyang listened to their quick exchange and got the idea. The

world was full of surprises. One could run into all kinds of unexpected encounters.

"Haha! We met just once. We don't know each other very well. Sister Daisy, the food here is quite

good!" Leena tried to change the subject. She wanted to distract Daisy.

"Yes! It's not bad. You can have more if you'd like." Daisy knew that Leena was purposely steering her

away from the subject. But since Leena was reluctant, Daisy didn't push her. After all, everyone was

entitled to their privacy.

Kevin smiled coldly. It was true that they met just once, but they were not total strangers. Why would

she lie like that? They had already done the most intimate act reserved for husband and wife. And she

was saying they didn't know each other well.

Leena was completely focused on her food, but Kevin's eyes occasionally met hers. She was terrified.

Leena regretted that she got involved with a major general. And it wasn't just a brief encounter but a

night of passionate sex. She didn't even know who he was. Leena felt sad at her own misfortune. The

more she thought about it, the more exasperated she got. Why did this happen to her?

"Leena, you should slow down! Nobody's fighting you for the food. And don't just eat the rice. Try the

other dishes as well!" Daisy furrowed her eyebrows, not sure what had happened to Leena that made

her act like that.

"Cough." Before Daisy could finish her words, Leena was violently choking. Her face turned red, and

she was patting her chest.

"Here, have some water." Kevin quickly reacted, handing Leena a glass of water. He seemed

concerned.

"Ah! Thanks!" Leena immediately drank the water and it helped her settle down. But as soon as she

saw the glass in her hands, she put it down on the table anxiously. Kevin had been drinking from that

glass as well! He just handed it to her, and she drank from it without realizing it. She felt as if they were

kissing indirectly.

Kevin didn't think much about it, since no one made such distinctions in the army, especially during

outdoor drills. People shared the same water bottles. That was why he passed his water to Leena

without any apprehension.

"How do you feel? Are you OK?" Daisy didn't find anything wrong with what Kevin did. She patted

Leena's back all the while wondering where Mark had disappeared. The kid probably went chatting with

the others again.

"I'm fine. I just choked a bit." Leena turned to Daisy and smiled, but inside she couldn't be more

distraught.

"Hm! I'm glad you're OK. I'll call Mark and have him show you around. We can go back together when I

get off work." Daisy said as she took out her phone. She wondered where Mark had gone for gossiping.

"No need to call Mark. I can show her around." Kevin slowly drank some water from the same glass

that Leena had just used. He was watching the ablush Leena. He wanted to have a private This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

conversation with her.

"Are you free?" Daisy looked at Kevin curiously. How come she was swamped with work but he had so

much free time?

"Nothing I can't manage, I can handle work later tonight." Kevin smiled while looking at Daisy gently.

"Please don't. Daisy, you can ask Mark to accompany me. Chief of staff Gu must be quite occupied. I

don't want to trouble him." Leena tried to decline the offer. The idea of being alone with Kevin terrified

her. There was no way she'd stay with him!

"I see no trouble in chaperoning such a beautiful lady. It would be my utmost honor." Kevin was not

letting her go. He lifted his eyebrows and stared at Leena casually.

"Leena, what do you say? Since Chief of Staff Gu is available, you two should get to know each other.

I'll get to my work." Although Daisy was not aware of the history between Leena and Kevin, she felt it

would be safer to have Kevin take care of Leena instead of Mark.

"Go on! I promise I'll return her safe and sound when you get off work." Kevin didn't let Leena interrupt.

He blatantly rushed Daisy away.

"Then I'm taking you up on the offer. Please take care of Leena for me. As gratitude, I'll buy you dinner

sometime." Daisy stood up as she spoke. She approached Leena and touched her head, looking ever

so lovingly at the girl. It was quite different from her usual aloofness.

"Leena, please go with the Chief of Staff Gu and take a tour! Relax, he's very nice. And he's still

single!" Daisy whispered in Leena's ear, giving her a sly look.

"Um... Sis Daisy... What are you talking about?" Upon hearing Daisy's words, Leena's face turned red.

She glanced at Kevin in embarrassment, worrying that he might have heard Daisy.

Kevin observed the exchange between the two women in bewilderment. He was curious why Leena

suddenly blushed and looked at him so strangely.

Daisy checked out Leena and Kevin once again, feeling that there must be some kind of secret

between the two, yet she couldn't figure out what it was exactly. She was baffled, but since she had

work, she couldn't get to the bottom of it. Therefore, Daisy decided to leave this matter for now.

"OK, I must go now. You guys have a nice time. Chief of Staff Gu, please take good care of our little

sweetheart!" Daisy playfully winked at them and left the canteen, leaving the surprised duo looking at

each other in silence. They were both stunned by Daisy's unusual demeanor. Her behavior was

uncanny. What happened? Wasn't she known for being cold and indifferent? When did she become so

playful?
