Chapter 293

Seeing her so excited, Qi Jingchuan was overjoyed, as if he had found money.

He thought for a moment, then looked at the shards of glass lying upside down on the wall: "Are you really not going to reconsider?"

There's no need to consider it.

Cen Yan shook her head. "Judging from Tian Ying's behavior, after stealing the first time and I didn't give it to her, she was thinking of stealing a second time. If Tian Ying hadn't stolen it, the security measures I set up would have been useless. On the contrary, I can't blame anyone else."

“If there’s no blood, she’ll never learn her lesson. Even if things escalate, before I pay for her medical expenses, I’ll definitely ask Tian Ying why she climbed over our wall in the middle of the night.”

The worst-case scenario is that Tian Ying will only dare to cry foul but not tell the truth!

Qi Jingchuan smiled faintly, "If you want to teach her a lesson, then do as you say. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up. You're right, if you really dare to do these things, Yu Qingguo's mother is in the wrong, but we're not afraid."

"That's a rather ambiguous statement. If the sky were to fall, would you really be the one to hold it up?"

"Yes, I'm tall. I can't hold up other people's sky if it falls down, but I can still patch up the holes my own wife makes." Qi Jingchuan looked at her earnestly.

Cen Yan blushed and quickly walked out, saying, "You can go do whatever you need to do after you finish eating. I'm going to work in the studio next door."

"Okay." Qi Jingchuan watched her stagger out the door, his smile growing wider.

After noon, around 2 p.m., Aunt Tang and several of her sisters-in-law arrived as promised.

This was arranged in the morning. Later, Aunt Tang would come to find Cen Yan to make lipsticks together and learn the craft. Before, there were too many people and they were too far apart, so Aunt Tang and the others couldn't see Cen Yan's work clearly.

Cen Yan did not refuse, thinking that she would teach Aunt Tang and her sisters-in-law first, and then let them teach others.

"Did Commander Qi come back to keep you company instead of going to the troops today?" When Aunt Tang and her sisters-in-law entered the house, they couldn't help but glance at Qi Jingchuan, who was washing dishes and tidying up in the kitchen.

Cen Yan shook her head: "He must just be free in the military. How could he possibly put aside his military duties to be with me? For someone like him, military matters are more important than anything else. His wife and family can only come second."

"The words may be rough, but the principle is sound. In the hearts of soldiers, the country comes first and family second. Isn't it this pure heart that we military wives admire most? Otherwise, why would we travel thousands of miles to Dongming Island to accompany the military?"

"But I have to say, Commander Qi is a really good man. He's imposing and serious outside, like a tiger, but when he comes home he's as docile as a kitten, warming the bed and doing housework. Hey, Sister-in-law Cen, how often do you and Commander Qi do it?"

Cen Yan: "..." Huh? Ah? Is the car going too fast?

She stared blankly at the woman who had asked the question, unsure how to answer in a way that would preserve Qi Jingchuan's male dignity. She couldn't very well say that they did it several times a day; that might sound impressive, but no one would believe her!

"You shameless old hag, Cen Yan is young. Even if she did it every day, she wouldn't tell you. Look how embarrassed she is, her face is all red."

Aunt Tang chuckled and playfully nudged the woman, saying, "Be careful, or Cen Yan might get angry and refuse to teach you how to make lipstick."

"Oh, what's there to be ashamed of? We're all adults, it's harmless to chat about it, let's not spread it around. Didn't you hear about that incident in the family compound before? Instead of just guessing, we should ask them directly."

Cen Yan instantly understood; what her sister-in-law was referring to was the matter that the old lady, Su Xianhua, had told her back then.

The whole family compound was buzzing with rumors that she and Qi Jingchuan hadn't shared a room...
