After Guan Wenjun came out of the military compound, he felt completely out of sorts.
How should he put it? He once had a girlfriend he really liked, and at the time, he had already planned to marry her.
But after that girlfriend met Qin Yuanzheng, she had a change of heart and fell for Qin Yuanzheng instead.
She subsequently rejected his marriage proposal.
From then on, Guan Wenjun began to hate Qin Yuanzheng.
For all these years, he had been competing with Qin Yuanzheng.
After Qin Yuanzheng was promoted to regiment commander, Guan Wenjun left the military and joined the provincial revolutionary committee, where he was now a director.
He was still competing with Qin Yuanzheng; since Qin Yuanzheng wasn't getting married, he wouldn't look for a partner either.
Whenever Qin Yuanzheng went on a blind date, he paid close attention.
He was determined to snatch Qin Yuanzheng's dates away from him.
But this time, he had gone out of town on business. How many days had he even been gone?
Qin Yuanzheng had already gotten his marriage certificate.
Guan Wenjun kicked the wall angrily and cursed, "Qin Yuanzheng, that bastard."
He was too scheming!
He suspected that Qin Yuanzheng had deliberately waited for him to go out of town on business so he could quickly get married.
He probably feared he would come and make trouble.
And he married such a delicate and beautiful little wife. Who was he trying to anger to death?
Even Qin Yuanzheng, who suffered from infertility, got married, while he, Guan Wenjun, was still single!
The more Guan Wenjun thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. After returning to his office at the provincial revolutionary committee, he asked his subordinate to investigate Qin Yuanzheng's little wife.
His subordinate said, "Director, why are you also investigating Qin Yuanzheng's wife?"
Guan Wenjun sat in his office chair, propped his legs up on the desk, pulled out a Daqianmen cigarette and lit it. Then he tossed the cigarette pack onto the desk and asked in surprise, "Who else is investigating her?"
The subordinate replied, "Oh, a lot of people. I heard many in the military are looking into it. Weren't there quite a few daughters of the commanders who had their eyes on Qin Yuanzheng before? Later, because of his infertility, none of them dared to marry him. Now that they hear he's married, they're all feeling indignant again and are investigating the girl's background."
Guan Wenjun: "..."
Guan Wenjun said speechlessly, "They all have way too much free time."
He took a drag of his cigarette, feeling that he had too much free time too, and asked, "So? What's the deal with that little wife?"
Saying that, he sneered again and added, "Could it be that her family background isn't very good? What normal person would fall for Qin Yuanzheng? Don't you agree?"
Subordinate: "..."
The subordinate had actually inquired about Qiao Lanshu as well. After all, Qin Yuanzheng getting married was a major event. Probably anyone who had heard of Qin Yuanzheng had asked about his wife.
The subordinate said, "Director, Qin Yuanzheng's wife is named Qiao Lanshu. She came from Yangcheng a while ago, saying she came to the military base to find her husband. But guess what? She was tricked into a fake engagement! Her fiancé was already married, had found a job, and even had a child."
Guan Wenjun: "..."
The subordinate shared whatever information he had gathered: "Anyway, this female comrade's background is spotless. She was probably willing to marry Qin Yuanzheng to repay him for saving her life. After all, Commander Qin rescued her and took care of her, so it's understandable."
Guan Wenjun scoffed coldly. "She's young, so she's easy to deceive! What kind of good guy is Qin Yuanzheng? If you cut his heart open, it's a bastardly thing blacker than a black sesame riceball! He definitely saw that the little girl was gullible, so he deliberately approached her!"
Guan Wenjun got angrier as he spoke. "I'm telling you, he has a track record! After all these years, his methods for seducing young girls haven't changed! Isn't he disgusting?!"
Listening to him curse, the subordinate didn't dare utter a word.
Qin Yuanzheng was the commander of the Construction Corps, which was not a low rank. No matter what, it wasn't someone people like them could curse at.
Only Guan Wenjun, whose rank was roughly equal to his, dared to curse like this.
After Guan Wenjun finished cursing, he stood up and said, "No, this little girl must have been deceived. I have to be a good person and go save her."
Subordinate: "..."
With that, Guan Wenjun left, and who knew what he went off to do.
The subordinate pondered inwardly: Director Guan hasn't done many good deeds in his life; is he really going to save someone this time?
...
Qin Yuanzheng was actually on guard against Guan Wenjun too.
Guan Wenjun had a bit of a crazy streak. Over the years, both of them had been single, and since they were in different systems, they naturally coexisted peacefully.
But now that Qin Yuanzheng had taken a wife, he had to guard against Guan Wenjun.
Who knew if a guy like Guan Wenjun would try to snatch his wife?
It was entirely possible. After all, based on his understanding of Guan Wenjun, that guy was capable of anything.
Taking advantage of his marriage leave, Qin Yuanzheng stayed with Qiao Lanshu all day long, basically never letting her go out alone.
Although the newly built heated kang bed looked quite nice, it still needed to dry for a couple of days and couldn't be slept on yet. Qin Yuanzheng bought some kraft paper and pasted a layer over it.
The new thick mattress he had commissioned Huang Erling next door to make wasn't finished yet either.
They could only wait a bit longer.
The two of them still had to sleep on the small bed in the second bedroom.
When Qin Yuanzheng lay in bed, he was waiting for his little wife to snuggle into his arms.
However, Qiao Lanshu didn't. Qin Yuanzheng had been a bit scary the past two days; he had kissed her so much that she was afraid.
Her lips still hurt even now.
After getting into bed, she slept right on the edge. Qin Yuanzheng waited a while, but the little girl didn't burrow into his embrace.
Qin Yuanzheng turned his head to look at her. Qiao Lanshu blinked her eyes and asked, "Brother Zheng, what's wrong?"
Qin Yuanzheng looked at her. "Going to sleep just like this?"
Qiao Lanshu nodded, her voice soft. "Brother Zheng, do you need something?"
Qin Yuanzheng: "..."
Qin Yuanzheng's body moved slightly, and the bed let out a "creak." Qin Yuanzheng: "..."
Qin Yuanzheng coughed and asked her, "You aren't cold tonight?"
Qiao Lanshu shook her head. "I'm not cold."
Qin Yuanzheng nodded. "Alright, let's sleep then."
Saying that, he pulled the light cord and turned off the light.
Qiao Lanshu closed her eyes and slept quietly.
However, how could Qin Yuanzheng hold back?
They had already hugged and kissed; how could he possibly fall asleep now?
So, not long after they lay down, Qiao Lanshu heard the bed creaking, and immediately after, that strong, broad chest appeared right in front of her.
Qin Yuanzheng reached out and pulled her into his arms. As soon as his fragrant and soft little wife was in his embrace, he buried his face in her neck, took a deep breath, and whispered, "Alright, go to sleep."
Qiao Lanshu silently reached up to cover her mouth and whispered, "Brother Zheng, my lips still hurt."
Qin Yuanzheng had been restraining himself, but hearing her say that made his heart burn hot again.
However, this bed was old. Just turning over made the bedboards scream in protest. Qin Yuanzheng gave Qiao Lanshu a tight squeeze and said in a deep voice, "Just wait a couple of days..."
He didn't continue speaking, afraid of scaring the little girl.
He wondered, could the medicine Wang Huiping used have been animal medicine?
It felt like it was going to turn a man into a wild beast.
It was so potent.
