Will Chuyang misunderstand? It depends on the situation. If it's like Lexington, Firefly, or Andrea Doria, who completely belong to his Fleet Girls, Chuyang would definitely be angry. No Admiral would allow their Fleet Girls to have ambiguous relationships with other men.
However, in the case of Saratoga, why would Chuyang misunderstand her Fleet Girls? After all, in the eyes of the Fleet Girls, their Admiral has been missing for four years or has abandoned them for that long. Even if the Fleet Girls really found a new Admiral or married someone else, it would be understandable. Of course, Chuyang would feel uncomfortable about it.
Therefore, Chuyang does not harbor any misunderstandings towards Saratoga. Just from the hug she gave him upon their first meeting, he could tell how much she missed him as her Admiral.
Still, Chuyang feels uneasy. However, it is not because of Saratoga but because of the young man named Gu Jian Tao in front of him. Speaking of which, if you want to pursue his Sister-in-law, have you obtained her brother-in-law's consent? Thus, when facing Gu Jian Tao, Chuyang is too lazy to engage in small talk and appears very serious.
Nevertheless, even if Chuyang's expression is unfriendly, Gu Jian Tao has no choice but to muster the courage to speak.
"Mr. Chu, Mrs. Chu, hello. I am Gu Jian Tao, Chairman of Shun'an County Shun'an Trading Co., and also a suitor of Miss Lin. I was planning to formally propose to Miss Lin today. Since you two are here, if you don't mind, I would like to treat you both to a meal as a gesture of hospitality," Gu Jian Tao said respectfully.
Being able to grow a small company into a nearly ten-million scale solely through his abilities shows that Gu Jian Tao is not lacking in talent. Originally, Saratoga had decisively rejected his proposal, and he was unsure how to proceed! But now that Saratoga's sister and brother-in-law are here, as long as he can win their favor, there might still be a chance for him to win over the beauty.
As for the significant disparity in family backgrounds between them, Gu Jian Tao is well aware of it; he knows this is his biggest weakness. However, if utilized properly, it could also become his advantage. That's why he mentioned what he does in his speech; it subtly indicates that he is not just some useless person. Although he may lack in family background, he has capability.
There’s also a saying: "Thirty years on the east bank of the river and thirty years on the west bank; do not underestimate the youth in poverty."
"We won't be having dinner; Mr. Gu, please take your leave! Xiaoqing will not agree," Chuyang said bluntly.
It's ridiculous; he wouldn't mind if he didn't know about it—out of sight, out of mind. But with someone like Saratoga who has no substantial relationship with him and even if she genuinely likes him, as long as nothing beyond friendship has occurred between them, Chuyang would find a way to ruin this situation and take Saratoga away. Moreover, Sister-in-law has no good feelings towards Gu Jian Tao at all; he couldn't be bothered to pretend to be polite with him! It's much more efficient to cut through the chaos directly.
"Yes, you should just leave! I have never liked you, so please stop being so self-important and don't bother me anymore."
Saratoga clearly stated her position, as who knows if her brother-in-law is petty, so it was better to clarify everything at once.
"Miss Lin, won't you give me a chance?" Gu Jian Tao made one last effort. If asked whether he had ever been moved by Saratoga before, the answer would definitely be yes, but not very much. His determination to marry Saratoga was mostly for the sake of his daughter, Dudu. However, just now, when Saratoga fell into Chuyang's embrace, Gu Jian Tao felt a sharp pain in his heart and a surge of anger towards Chuyang. He realized that his excuse of wanting to find a mother for his daughter was merely self-deception; in fact, he had fallen deeply in love with Saratoga the moment he saw her.
To be honest, he regretted it now. If he had been more proactive in the past, perhaps he would have already married Saratoga!
Now, he cast aside all his previous arrogance and looked at Saratoga with hopeful eyes, wishing she would give him a chance.
"Impossible, I only like my brother-in-law." Saratoga blurted out without thinking. After saying that, she cautiously glanced at Lexington and, seeing that her sister didn't seem angry, she let out a sigh of relief.
"You..." Gu Jian Tao was somewhat stunned by Saratoga's shocking words that violated ethical norms. But soon after, he dejectedly dropped his arms and turned to walk towards the car parked by the roadside.
Having reached this point in the conversation, Gu Jian Tao knew there was no room for any change in the situation, so there was no need to stay any longer.
But who knew that beneath his seemingly calm exterior, his heart was bleeding? At the same time, he was filled with envy and jealousy towards Chuyang. Objectively speaking, without any personal factors involved, Saratoga's sister was indeed a more suitable choice as a wife. How fortunate must a man be to win the affection of such a pair of sisters? It really is infuriating to compare people.
...
"Brother-in-law, are you saying that the Naval Base has disappeared and that everyone else from the Naval Base has also mysteriously left like me and scattered around the world? And you want to bring them all back?" Saratoga rested her chin on her hands at the table, staring intently at Chuyang sitting across from her.
This was the dormitory of the kindergarten, which had five single rooms originally prepared for staff. However, since all the other teachers and staff at the kindergarten were locals, only Saratoga lived in the dormitory.
"Yes, yes, Saratoga Sister, what Brother Chu Yang said is true, and I can prove it."
The Firefly, who was sitting nearby playing a string game with Andrea Doria, turned around to say.
"But how is that possible?" Saratoga still seemed a bit skeptical.
"There's nothing impossible about it. I, Firefly, Andrea Doria, and you are the best proof, aren't we?"
Lexington walked in from outside holding a tray and placed five bowls of cooked noodles on the dining table, inviting everyone to eat.
"That does seem to be the case!"
In the past, Saratoga had doubted the reality of Naval Base, feeling as if those two years were like living in a dream, filled with many illusions. But when she suddenly recalled the bits and pieces of Naval Base not long ago, she realized that everything had indeed happened and was not just an empty dream.
As for why Naval Base had vanished without a trace and how they ended up scattered around the world, Saratoga didn't want to think about it; she was just glad that her brother-in-law was back.
"Brother-in-law, since you're looking for others, do you have any specific news about them?"
"No, do you?"
"Wait, let me think. Right, North Residence..."
