As they neared the docks, Xie Ning paused.
A woman in a white dress and stilettos was smiling as she walked toward Gu Chen and his team.
She smoothed back a few strands of hair that had been tousled by the gentle breeze, her voice soft and pleasant. "Brother Gu Chen, what a surprise to run into you here. I came with Captain Wang and the others from the City Defense Team to check things out."
"Miss Zhang, I meant to tell you this last time." Gu Chen paused, giving the woman an awkward look. "I'm younger than you, so you should probably... just call me by my name."
Every time she called him Brother Gu Chen, it sent a shiver down his spine.
Xie Ning glanced at the men of all ages trailing behind their captain and saw more than a few of their lips twitch.
A few couldn't hold it in and had to turn away to keep from bursting out laughing.
That was a huge slap in the face to Miss Zhang.
Zhang Biyun had to use a great deal of effort to keep the smile fixed on her lips.
