Chapter 633
Zoya was stunned for a moment. "Is that so?"
She held the cup of water, her fingers tightening.
The air was quiet for a while.
Lin winked at Zara and said, "That's enough. Zoya, it's not easy for you to come back and meet us."
"I'm telling the truth, Zara said, "I feel that Zoya should go to the engagement party!"
Lin son was a good girl. Although Zoya had been here for a long time, she did not cry too much.
After putting the child aside, she patiently sat opposite to Zoya and said, "Zoya, I'm glad that you still remember these two comrades-in-arms of mine. Because Zara and I both know that you must have had a good life after you retired and transferred to a career. When I heard that you opened the newspaper, and had a boyfriend like Ragib, I was more convinced of our conjecture. This is to congratulate you for having a new life. You've walked out of the shadow of the past and have new friends at the same time. Well, just like Young Madam, you're actually very good too."
Zoya glanced at Lin and lowered her head to take a sip of water.
"But in our opinion, your headache now is more like a step to happiness." Lin was taking the child with her. She tied a ponytail casually, and was as docile and comfortable as the wife of an ordinary family.
"You see, you have a successful career now, and you are a boyfriend of Ragib in the Military Region. With that man, your future will be more successful and your road will be smoother."
The corners of Zoya's mouth tightened, but she couldn't say anything.
"Perhaps you want to say that your current business was originally created by your own ability." Lin said, "But you cannot deny that with the relationship of Ragib, the chances of your life or your work facing any risk in the future will be greatly reduced. To be honest, Ragib will protect you."
[Be my girlfriend. In the future, I can protect you.] In the Dragonmoon Pavilion, Ragib's words suddenly came to Zoya's mind.
Zoya's eyes twinkled slightly.
She tightened her grip on the cup.
She didn't really understand how Ragib had moved her.
It turned out to be the bits and pieces that had happened since they came into contact with each other recently, leaving a deep impression in her heart-maybe it was something he did, or something he said.
"If it were an ordinary woman, she might not have had the chance and ability to seize Ragib." Lin said, "You will be worried that he will not do anything in the future. It's normal. But it's normal for a handsome man with great military power to have the ability to capture more women."
Zoya did not speak. She knew that this was the truth.
"But fate is a shocking thing. Ragib Family is a military family, and Zhan Family is also a family." Lin smiled and said, "Now that Zhan Family is going to marry to Ragib Family, this is equivalent to adding a layer of assurance to your and Ragib's relationship. To put it bluntly, if you like Ragib, this engagement will be beneficial to you, because from now on, you are Ragib's fiancee. You can stop all the women who try to get close to him. You have this right."
"..." Zoya slowly lifted her eyelashes and looked at Lin, who had become her mother. Her heart moved slightly and she asked, "Do you guys think so?"
"Of course, from the perspective of others, all these changes are very smooth for you." Lin sighed, but then smiled helplessly. "Unlike us, Zara and I were born in an ordinary family. It was only after we got admitted to the Military Hospital that we entered the army. When the time is up, we have no choice but to retire or continue to live in the army, living the life of a soldier or a member of the army."
"But Zoya, you're different. You have a bright future," Lin said, "because you have a strong family background and you joined the army with excellent medical skills at that time. You can go back to the army at any time as long as you want. Anyone can see your future."
Lin sighed again and said, "It's just that you left the army and stopped being a military doctor later on because of the dragon-sealing matter, so your glory naturally fell on Zhan Mei. Now she is the doctor of First Army in the Central Military Region. But in Zara's words, really awesome people are capable of anything. Zoya, even if you don't become a military doctor and become a reporter, you now have your own newspaper, and your career is successful."
"You don't need to say." Zara next to her said, "Zoya, you are the object of envy of all the female soldiers in the army. Now you are also the object of our envy."
"Zara, are you actually very happy?" Lin said to Zoya as if she wanted to comfort her.
Zoya sighed softly and looked out of the window at the winter night.
He had a smooth journey in the eyes of others, but only he knew how many setbacks he had gone through all the way.
"Yes, it looks like so." Zoya nodded.
"No matter how you love each other, at least you've been living quite smoothly for the past few years," Lin said. "You're nothing like us. Sigh, I've hired half a year of experience to have a child at home, and I've been returning to the army in a few months. Zara had asked for a month's leave, but he would soon return to the army... Most of us, the military doctors, are healing and training wounded soldiers, especially in this peaceful era. To us, being a military doctor for the rest of our lives is, in fact, no different from being an ordinary doctor at work."
"But you are different, Zoya. You have been a military doctor, a reporter, a newspaper office, and an enviable love." Lin said, with a hint of envy in her eyes, "Now you are going to be engaged to the unattainable Ragib... Your life is much more wonderful, just like the heroine in the movie. It's colorful. Isn't it good? You don't have to resist the current state of life!"
As a married woman, Lin words were obviously more comforting. She had been envious, lost, and compromised. Only then did she realize how rare a wonderful life was.

Zoya stood up. "The heroine in the movie? I'm not."
She walked to the window of the room and looked at the cold night outside through the glass. "Because I know friends who are more like the heroines in the movie. She is the real winner in life. She has the best husband who loves her. She has the glory identity. She also has extraordinary talents.... She even has her own company."
"You're talking about that Young Madam, right?" Behind her, Lin said, "How could that be compared? Aman isn't someone that an ordinary man can compare with. There are some people who were born to be the leader of this world."
"...Yes." Zoya nodded. "Not everyone can compare with Little Chloe. There aren't many Aman in this world. What kind of person do you think you should meet in your life? Maybe it's already preordained."
Zoya could not help but think of Chloe's words.
"Yes, that's it." Lin said, "Everyone has his own life track."
Zoya remained silent for a long time.
At this time, the door of the room knocked twice.
"Miss Zhan, do you want something to eat or drink some water?" Lin mother outside asked, "I've cut some fruit. Why don't you guys have some?"
When it came to this, Lin immediately stood up. "Zoya, if you are usually in a bad mood, you can stay at my house for a few days. Zara came to see me anyway. We haven't been together for a long time. Let's take this opportunity to have a good chat."
Lin rushed to the door and opened it. Suddenly, she said in surprise, "Mom, how can we eat so much?"
"What's there to be upset about? Ask them if they want to eat, and also if they want to eat..."
"It must have been eaten since it's so late. Don't be busy!"
Hearing the voice over there, Zoya turned back and said politely, "Thank you, Auntie. I've had dinner. I'm sorry to disturb you."
"I won't disturb you, I won't disturb you."
Lin mother knew that Zoya was Commander Zhan's daughter, so she was very polite. She didn't dare to neglect Zoya, so she went out after greeting Zoya enthusiastically.
Outside the window, a car stopped for a while under this unit, turned around and left the community.
Zoya's eyes swept over the outside, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
Next, the two comrades-in-arms, Zoya and Lin, Zara, stayed for two days. Usually, the three of them would hole up together for a play, eating snacks that all women loved and playing with Lin son. Occasionally, they would go outside to shop, and the three comrades-in-arms would meet very happily.
For some reason, after Zoya left home, the Zhan family did not even make a single phone call.
Neither did they send people to arrest
On this day, the three of them were her.
shopping with their children. Tomorrow was Christmas, so the outside was filled with a lively atmosphere. People on the street had changed into thick and fashionable winter clothes, forming a warm scene on the street.
People were running in the mall one after another, inside the shopping mall hanging large red balloons and St. Santa, snowflakes and golden bells-this kind of overseas abroad festival had gradually become a popular holiday in every country.
While listening to the Christmas music, Zoya pushed the shopping cart, which was piled up like a hill, and took out her mobile phone to have a look.
Sure enough, there was still no phone call.
He didn't even call Ragib! Something's not right?
"I don't have a reason." She mumbled in bewilderment, "It's not logical. At this moment, the Zhan family will send someone to find me immediately after I leave. Maybe they will take me back..."
It was impossible for him to do nothing like what he did now. It was too strange.
"That's not right." She frowned again. "Let's not talk about the Zhan family. Ragib saw that I left him behind in the house. He didn't release a series of hoorays. Who would've thought that he would kill you... Why didn't Ragib make a move?"
She had already prepared herself for this. If they came to capture her and bring her back, how would she resist?
She planned to put the gun on her forehead and risk her life to force those people from the Zhan family who tried to take her back!
[The plot has been rehearsed in my mind, but I can't put it on. It's really confusing!]
It didn't mean that she wanted the Zhan family to arrest her, but she was worried that there might be a trap if she found out that the situation was not as bad as she had predicted.
Zoya's finger took turns stopping at Ragib's number and her mother's number for a while. "But if I call them, wouldn't it be the same as me falling into the trap myself?"
After thinking about it again and again, she finally made up her mind and decided not to fight.
"Maybe they didn't find me and didn't know I was in Lin house." Zoya told herself to cherish this free time.
