Chapter 1692
"Hey, Ragib, what kind of occasion are you talking dirty!" Zoya glanced at the frozen waiter next to her and was very angry. She didn't expect that Ragib would say such words without hesitation.
Ragib immediately retorted, "I don't know who said earlier that they wanted to eat me!"
"I made a slip of the tongue!"
"But I'm telling the truth." Ragib suddenly stopped, and his hand holding the menu also stopped. He looked at her with burning eyes. "Tonight, I'll go to your place..."
"Get lost!" Zoya blushed and threw the menu to him.
The two of them grabbed a menu, and their words made people blush.
The waiter felt that standing next to them was really torture. After they ordered the dishes, he hurriedly exited the private room.
After serving the dishes, the two of them ate in silence. The air was a little subtle, and the light was slightly dim, giving rise to some ambiguous feelings.
"... Okay." Zoya said coldly.
"Hmm?" Ragib looked up.
"I said I could go to my place." No matter how embarrassing she was, Zoya didn't care about it anymore. What was the point of her asking for his proposal? Besides, her house in the Happy Community had become their world.
A mischievous smile appeared on Ragib's lips again. "I knew you missed me. You're stubborn."
Zoya's face was burning.
"That..."
"By the way."
The two spoke at the same time.
They looked up at each other and asked at the same time, "What did you say?"
At the same time, he asked, "Are you going to say it first?"
At the same time, he said, "Then I'll tell you first."
The air became quiet again.
A few seconds later.
He lowered his head and continued to eat.
Zoya thought that it would be better to be the last to propose. For example, he would suddenly kneel down after dinner, or he would send her back to the Happy Community. Besides, when the car was parked halfway, he would suddenly propose- this scene was romantic!
"Go ahead, what's the matter?" Zoya decided to listen to him first and pray that he wanted to ask where her ring was. Then she could immediately take out the ring as if nothing had happened. She said that she was always wearing it and was ready to ask him what he meant by asking him to propose to her personally. In this way, she could take advantage of this opportunity to pretend to be very surprised.
Perfect!
"In the future, don't call me Major General anymore," Ragib said.
Zoya's heart skipped a beat, and she almost stopped. "Dmn, he won't call me old man in the future... He won't be so fast, will he? They haven't gotten married yet? No! It's too early, isn't it?"
"Oh, why?" she asked as if nothing had happened.
Ragib glanced at Zoya, whose shoulders were a little stiff. He was confused. Did she hear something and know what he was going to say?
But he still had to tell her this important thing in advance.
Because she was his fiancee, he had to tell her in advance about his decision. Although she might not be able to accept it for a while, the situation had changed and she had no choice. They were soldiers, and most of the time, they couldn't only care about their own wishes. They had to have a big picture in their hearts!
"I've decided to retire," Ragib suddenly said.
"Ah?" Zoya didn't hear what she wanted to hear, but heard a strange word. She suddenly doubted her own ears. "What did you say?"
"I said I decided to retire." Ragib repeated again.
Zoya was stunned for a few seconds.
He recalled what Shawn had said when he was outside...
She chuckled. "Are you joking? I'm telling you, Ragib, I'm a little sensitive recently. I can't enjoy such jokes. There's no need to joke. Let's get down to business."
"This is what I want to say." Ragib looked at her seriously. His black and serious eyes told her that he was not joking. He was talking about this important thing.
Zoya's excitement suddenly sank. She held the tableware tightly and then slowly put it down. She picked up the cup with trembling hands and drank a big mouthful of water.
"You know, I don't want to hear this news." She heavily put the half-full cup on the table and looked at him seriously. "I won't be happy to hear this news."
"Yes, I know." Ragib nodded.
"Do you still want to say that?" Zoya smiled, which was a sign that she was going to lose her temper.
"I've decided that I'll announce this news to the media tomorrow in room H." Ragib said, "So I'm going to tell you this in advance so that you can be mentally prepared."
Zoya knew that this was no longer a joke.
He was serious.
Because Shawn also said that Ragib seemed to have discussed with Aman about the transfer before he came back... He didn't expect that he would retire directly.
Zoya didn't know how to hide her emotions when she heard this sudden news. She was so angry that she laughed. "Ragib, are you telling me in advance? You have already decided and the HN area also knows the news. You just informed me now!"
Ragib frowned. "Zoya, I know you're not happy..."
"Don't call me Zoya!" Zoya suddenly threw away the cup and the food that she hadn't finished yet. She was furious. "Do you know how much I waited with you today? I was waiting for another message from you. Now I haven't received another message, but you are telling me that you want to retire?"
Ragib took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one. Under this dim and blurred gaze, his eyes looked particularly deep and peaceful in the night. "I can only tell you that I have plans and reasons. This matter has been decided."
"I don't agree!" Zoya said angrily, "Ragib, don't forget who advised me to go back to be a military doctor. Now that you have deceived me back, do you want to retire? What do you mean? Have you asked me for my opinion before you made this decision? Do you treat me as your fiancee?"
In the end, Zoya said, "I don't care! Contact HN immediately and cancel this decision!"
"It's not a child's play. It's not a application. It's fine if it's canceled," Ragib said solemnly. "You should know."
Zoya smiled bitterly and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"I hope you can support my decision. Of course, we are still engaged," Ragib said, "but I retired. Nothing else has changed."
"What about me?" Zoya asked him, "What if I retired?"
"Of course I'll stay here..."
"On what basis?" Zoya was angry when she heard that he asked her to stay in the HN area. "Why do you want me to stay here but retire?"
Ragib saw that this meal was not finished, so he simply pushed the tableware to the front, took the ashtray next to him, and flicked the cigarette ash. "Because you are an excellent military doctor. It's a pity that you retired."
"What about you? Ragib, as a major general, you are the youngest military king in Country." Zoya looked at the shining man in front of her. "Isn't it a pity for you to retire?"
"As I said, I have my own plans," Ragib said.
"That's why you're so decisive and independent. Do as you wish!" Zoya glared at him. "You don't care about my feelings at all, do you?"
Ragib looked at her and did not speak. He finished the cigarette in his hand.
Zoya's anger was within his expectations.
For a moment, he regretted telling her the news later. At least he had just come back today. He should wait until tonight...
"I know you will be angry, but this decision will be made public tomorrow. It can't be changed," Ragib said, "You can be angry and blame me, but I believe you will understand me in the future."
"I don't understand!" Zoya said, "Why didn't you discuss such an important matter with me in advance? Ragib, you are too selfish!
Ragib didn't say anything.
Zoya was as angry as fire in her chest again. Since he said so, Zoya knew that he was powerless.
Even if he didn't tell them the reason, they probably wouldn't be able to find out. Soldiers like them couldn't pry open their mouths about secrets or things they didn't want to say.
In the end, Zoya suppressed her anger and sat down again with her hands clasped. "Okay, let's not talk about this. Just say it. Last time when you left, you told me that you would say three words to me when you came back. What is it?"
Ragib looked up at her and seemed to be a little surprised that she suddenly mentioned it.
"... I'll wait." Zoya's voice was a little choked. He retired.
"Will their affairs be delayed? Will he decide to retire and not marry me?"
Ragib looked at her for a long time, blinked his eyes, and there was some tenderness and love in his peach blossom eyes. "I love you."
