Chapter 1699
Zoya swallowed her saliva.
"Then I didn't promise you anything," said Mrs. Zhan. "What if there's still no news after a year or two?"
"Mom, it's none of our business, okay?" Zoya said with worry, "This is between me and Ragib. If you intervene..."
"Your father and I are doing this for your own good!" Mrs. Zhan said indignantly, "He said that he can't marry you for the time being, but what's the point of him suddenly retired?"
Zoya curled her lips.
Ragib said that he was injured, but he also told her not to tell others...
"Zoya, I can tell you that your marriage is not your own business. If Ragib retired, it means that he will not be able to make great achievements in the military. As the eldest daughter of the Zhan family, you must marry a senior general!" Madam Zhan said, "Otherwise, there will be no point in marrying the Family."
"Mom." Zoya's face suddenly darkened. "I am your daughter, not a tool for the marriage alliance of the Zhan family. I was engaged to Ragib because I liked him. If you want to say so, can you let Ragib marry him again?"
Although she didn't want to mention Ragib anymore, at this critical moment, she couldn't let her family interfere with her relationship with Ragib.
"Zoya, aren't you irresponsible?" Mrs. Zhan immediately followed the phone and said, "In the past, I said that you would choose not to be engaged to Ragib. My mother has spoiled you once, but you can't do it again and again. You know that Ragib is no longer a soldier, but your father fired her. How can she represent the Zhan family to arrange a marriage?"
Zoya had no choice but to use her trump card. "Is this what my father wants? Don't force me. If you push me too hard, I can apply to retire."
"What did you say? Zoya, don't mess around!"
"In short, we can solve the problem between me and Ragib by ourselves. Don't go to break off the engagement with the Family on my behalf. If you want to break off the engagement, I have to do it myself!" Zoya hung up the phone and drove all the way with a frown.
What did he mean by saying that she would apply for retirement even if he pushed her too hard?
She was going to apply for retirement now!
Thinking of the fact that Ragib and she had retired, the Family and the Zhan family held great power but had no successor, Zoya suddenly felt very happy. After all, the Zhan family and the Family always wanted to use their children's marriage as tools, so they had to resist!
Thinking of this, Zoya suddenly felt very happy. She turned the car around and went straight back to H Country to apply for retirement.
She hummed a song and dialed Chloe's number. "Hello, Chloe?"
Chloe's voice came from the other side of the phone. As soon as Zoya frowned, Chloe spoke. "Sorry, I was talking to the nurse just now."
"Talk to the nurse?" Zoya frowned slightly. "What's wrong?"
At this time, Chloe and Aman had reconciled. They went to the capital to visit Mr. Emperor and would soon fly to the United States.
"Grandpa is sick and in the hospital. Aman and I went back to the capital to see him." Chloe sighed.
"Ah? Then, is it serious?" Zoya immediately asked, "It's not a serious illness, is it?"
"It's said that he fainted, but he's in good spirits and is still in the hospital."
"Oh." Zoya nodded.
"What about you? Is there good news?"
Chloe's tone was full of excitement, and she did not forget what had happened between Zoya and Ragib. "Did Ragib propose to you? Wait, don't say it first. I guess how he proposed to you. Did I leave with Aman that night? Uh, no, if you had called me that day, would it have been just now?"
"Well, Little Chloe..." Zoya sighed, indicating that she would be disappointed.
"What do you think? Are you very moved to see Ragib propose? Ha ha ha!" Chloe laughed.
Zoya looked helpless. "No, I'm not moved at all."
"Ah?"
"Chloe, you lost to me. Remember what I said last time, ten-year-old ticket!" Zoya snorted.
"What do you mean?" On the other end of the phone, Chloe roared. "He didn't propose to you?"
"No."
"No, it's impossible..."
"No, I didn't. I even gave him the ring." Zoya dug her ear with her little finger. "Anyway, you lost."
There was a moment of silence on the phone. As a friend and a woman, Chloe seemed to think of Zoya's current mood.
In particular, she said that she had returned the ring.
"It's very likely that they have... fallen out with each other?"
After a long time, Chloe asked, "Zoya, what happened?"
Zoya sighed again.
"I saw the news on the news. I heard... that Ragib retired. Is this the reason?" Chloe asked softly. Originally, she wanted to know whether Ragib retired or not, at least he could not avoid her proposal to Zoya.
Therefore, Chloe didn't mention Ragib's retirement. Instead, she first asked about Ragib's proposal.
Unexpectedly, Zoya said that Ragib didn't propose!
Zoya's mood sank, and she took a long breath to cheer up. "Let's not talk about us. What about you and Aman? Wasn't he angry because you left his father with you last time? Try to persuade him. It's not a big deal. It's not easy for them to get married when they are together. Don't hurt their feelings easily."
Perhaps because she thought that her marriage with Ragib was far away, Zoya especially felt that the happy marriage between Chloe and Aman was very rare!
"I'm fine with Aman and him." Chloe really wanted to say that she had something bad to accompany Zoya, but she had indeed reconciled with Aman and was very sweet.
She didn't know how to comfort Zoya.
She could only say, "Aman's father has left."
"Really?" Zoya was a little lost in thought. "Then Aman's father didn't stay at your house for a few days."
"...Yes."
"Let's talk about it when you come back," Zoya said.
"Ah?"
"Didn't you say that you went to the capital with Aman to visit him? When will you come back?"
"Two months later."
"What? It takes you two months to visit a patient?"
"After visiting me, I'll take her to the United States... to treat the wound on my face," Chloe said with sweat.
"Ha?" Zoya widened her eyes again. "Are you going straight to America after visiting Mr. Emperor? Aren't you going back to City?"
Chloe had no choice but to tell him about his trip and his schedule. "He specially pushed his work and went with me. He also made a deal with Liam, Lita, and the company. I can't refuse him anymore, so I'm going to the United States."
Zoya's shoulders fell down and she sighed. "It's okay to be sweet. Alas, forget it. Sure enough, let's not talk about me, so as not to affect your mood. Go and have fun with Aman. When you become a beauty again, I will go to your house to find your little master and little princess when I have time!"
"Well, I hope I can hear the good news of you and Ragib when I come back!" Chloe finally got angry. "Come on!"
After the phone call, Zoya's shoulder fell again. Wasn't this something she should do?
Ragib didn't propose to her, but she could still force him to kneel down and propose to her. Besides, a strong woman was asking a man to propose to her, which seemed to be a waste of ambition.
In fact, if she was asked to wait another year or two for Ragib, she was completely willing to wait. But she was afraid that as her mother said, what if Ragib didn't make any moves after one or two years?
"Sorry, your superiors don't agree with your application for retirement."
After Zoya returned to HN, her application was immediately rejected and there was no room for negotiation.
Back in the military doctor's class, Zoya held the apply for retirement and stared at the first medical kit as if she wanted to dig a hole in it.
A comrade advised her, "Zoya, don't be so unreasonable. Women can't always revolve around men. Major General retired because of his business, but you are an excellent military doctor. You can't waste your talent!"
Zoya snorted. "Indeed, women can't revolve around men."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"You finally got it!"
"Perhaps in a few years, there will be a new retired person in the H country? A rarely seen general like Ragib will definitely not lose a talent like him."
"Humph, what the hell is he doing when he comes back?" Zoya gritted her teeth and said. He was busy running a security company with his former subordinates, and it was estimated that he was the one who told the higher-ups not to approve of her retirement.
