Chapter 27 Get rid of the green tea bitches, my husband's got my back!

"Nonsense!"

Qin Lie interrupted her sharply.

He looked at Wenxue with icy eyes.

"Comrade Wenxue, I have been tolerant of you time and time again."

"If you dare to slander my lover again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Qin Lie's defense was swift and direct, without the slightest hesitation.

Wen Xue was forced to take a step back by his terrifying aura, her face turning pale.

She never expected that Qin Lie would embarrass her like this in public for the sake of this country woman.

Jiang Wu's body trembled slightly, and her grip on Qin Lie's arm tightened.

She practically clung to Qin Lie, whispering, "Qin Lie, don't do this... don't argue with your colleagues because of me. Sister Wenxue, she..."

Her voice was a little timid, but it only made Qin Lie feel more protective of her.

"She didn't do it on purpose?"

Qin Lie snorted coldly, "I think she did it on purpose!"

He turned back and looked at Jiang Wu, whose eyes were red-rimmed, in his arms, and his heart softened.

He raised his hand, his rough fingertips brushing against the smooth skin around her eyes, the touch stirring a slight flutter in his heart.

"Don't be afraid." His voice lowered considerably. "With me here, no one can bully you."

After saying that, he looked at Wenxue again, his eyes turning cold.

"Wenxue, this is my last warning. My family affairs are none of your business. I know my wife better than anyone. She is virtuous and kind, takes excellent care of the family, and makes me very comfortable. Marrying her is the greatest blessing of my life!"

"As for those rumors," Qin Lie raised his voice, glancing at the military dependents watching the commotion around him.

"That's all nonsense!"

"My wife and I have a great relationship. We've never argued, and I've never stopped her from cooking!"

"I eat my wife's cooking every day, it's a hundred times better than the cafeteria food!"

As if remembering something, he called out to Zhang Dashan, who was not far away, "Zhang Dashan, come here!"

Zhang Dashan, who was watching the commotion in the crowd, was called out. Startled, he quickly ran over.

"Present! Commander, what are your instructions?"

Qin Lie pointed to his house and asked loudly, "Tell them, did my lunch taste good?"

Zhang Dashan was stunned for a moment, then realized that the regimental commander was looking for witnesses.

He immediately straightened his back and shouted with all his might, "Reporting to the commander! It smells good!"

"It smells so good!"

"My sister-in-law's braised pork is so delicious, but not greasy at all! And her scrambled eggs with tomatoes are so sweet and sour, they really whet your appetite!"

"It's the most delicious food I've ever smelled in my life!"

As he spoke, he exaggeratedly swallowed his saliva, making those around him laugh at his greedy expression.

The atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Qin Lie nodded in satisfaction and looked at Wen Xue again.

"Now, do you have anything else to say?"

Wenxue's face turned pale and then flushed.

She originally intended to ruin Jiang Wu's reputation, but ended up becoming the backdrop for the couple's public display of affection and was publicly humiliated.

Looking at Qin Lie's cold face and the delicate-looking Jiang Wu in his arms, she felt a tightness in her chest.

"I……"

She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

At this moment, Jiang Wu raised her head from Qin Lie's embrace.

She tilted her little face up, her eyes watery, filled with just the right amount of grievance and unease.

"Qin Lie, does she... not like me?"

Her voice was very soft, like that of a frightened little animal.

"Did I embarrass you? Did I make things difficult for you in front of your colleagues?"

These words immediately branded Wen Xue as a "vicious colleague."

Jiang Wu herself is a wife who deeply loves her husband but is also sensitive and insecure.

The difference in quality is immediately apparent.

Qin Lie's heart melted.

He had no time to spare for Wenxue; his eyes were only on his little wife.

He tightened his grip on her waist.

He put on a stern face, but his tone was full of defense: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You are my wife, the lady of this house. Who would dare not like you? Who would dare to embarrass you?"

"You are the best, no one can compare to you."

He said these words without batting an eye, and in a solemn tone.

The military dependents around them, especially the women, listened with wide eyes.

Is this still the same cold-faced King Yama?

He's so good at spoiling his wife.

In an instant, envious glances were all directed at Jiang Wu.

Wen Xue stood there, listening to Qin Lie's undisguised protection, and looking at Jiang Wu's face, which looked particularly petite in the man's arms, she felt her blood rush to her head.

Her carefully applied makeup appeared somewhat distorted by jealousy and anger.

"Jiang Wu! Don't be so smug!"

She finally dropped her pretense and screamed.

"Do you really think Qin Lie likes you? He's just fooled by your face! What else can you do besides play the victim? You're just a country bumpkin! You're not good enough for him!"

The sharp shout silenced the surroundings instantly.

Everyone looked at Wen Xue, never expecting her to say such a thing.

Qin Lie's face darkened.

Before he could react, Jiang Wu gently tugged at his sleeve.

"Qin Lie, let's go home."

Her voice was calm, without anger or sadness, just a little tired.

"I don't want to argue with your colleague."

She didn't even look at Wen Xue again, as if he were a complete stranger.

This kind of disregard hurt Wenxue more than any counterattack.

"Stop right there!" Wen Xue shouted unwillingly, "Are you feeling guilty? I knew it!"

Jiang Wu stopped and turned around.

She looked at Wen Xue, who was somewhat out of control, and gave a faint smile.

"Comrade Wenxue," she said, her voice low but clear.

"Whether a man loves you or not is not determined by his words."

"It depends on what he does for you."

"He is willing to reject all ambiguous relationships for you; he is willing to stand in front of you without hesitation when you are wronged."

"He values ​​you more than his own reputation or his future."

Jiang Wu turned her gaze to Qin Lie beside her, her eyes filled with trust.

“And my man did all of these things for me.”

"So you're right, I am indeed very proud."

"Because I have the best man in the world. And you don't."

After saying that, she ignored Wen Xue's pale face, took Qin Lie's hand, and turned to walk back home.

That silhouette resembled that of a proud queen.

Wen Xue was left alone, standing there enduring the scornful and mocking gazes of the crowd.

The fruit in her net bag fell to the ground with a "thud," rolling all over the floor, just like her shattered heart.

P.S.: (When I went out today, I saw a lottery shop with the words "Good Luck King" shining brightly in gold on its sign.)

(The advertising slogan was even more misleading: "Good luck is coming, with a 99.999% chance of winning.")

(At that moment, I thought I was probably just one of those 0.001% who was just there to make up the numbers.)

(But my feet still wouldn't obey me, and I stepped inside, buying a ticket with a flourish.)

(As soon as he got home, he turned on the TV and kept chanting to himself while watching the lottery draw: "Win! Win! I have to win!")

(As for the result... let's not talk about it. Let's get back to writing and updating.)

Tomato Robot, absolutely amazing!
