Chapter 96 This woman didn't rely on him.

Wang Lijuan, as an elder, had a lot to say about her reputation. After being criticized so harshly by Qi Jingchuan, she couldn't possibly save face.

In addition, she was worried that Political Commissar Lu would find out what Wang Manman had done, and in her haste to go back and appease him, she stomped her foot hard.

"You brat, you don't even give your teacher's wife any face. You've really forgotten your teacher's wife after getting married. All these years of pampering you have been for nothing, humph!" Wang Lijuan walked away with a long face.

Cen Yan then asked again, "Why are you back?"

"The mission is over, where else would you go if you didn't come back?" Qi Jingchuan asked, somewhat displeased.

Cen Yan immediately noticed the change in his tone, "Are you angry with me?"

"No." He didn't mean it.

He only overheard Aunt Tang and the others gossiping when he returned to the entrance of the residential compound.

It is said that Wang Manman is causing trouble for Cen Yan again. This time, she went directly to the health center to ruin Cen Yan's reputation, saying that she has no real talent and only relies on male connections.

Can he tolerate this?

What's even more infuriating is that this woman didn't treat him like someone to rely on!

Having suffered such a great injustice, he still had to force a smile and deal with Wang Lijuan. Did he think he couldn't protect his woman?

Cen Yan looked at him with a smile. Not angry? Of course not! This man's little thoughts were written all over his face.

"Alright, Qi Jingchuan, I really wasn't bullied. Wang Manman was trying to slander me, so I sent her straight to the law enforcement team. It's just that there's some trouble with my teacher's wife. She came to us for help, and it wouldn't be good to refuse."

"There's nothing wrong with it. I'll talk to the teacher and his wife. If you need anything in the future, just come to me directly so as not to bother you." Qi Jingchuan sat down with a stern face and told Cen Yan that if anyone bullied her in the future, she should fight back and not worry about him.

Cen Yan didn't continue on that topic, her gaze fixed on the man's hand. "Is this food you bought for me?"

Qi Jingchuan glanced at the oil paper package in his hand. "Leng Feng bought it at the state-run restaurant. He was craving something and forgot to take it. If you want to eat it, you can keep it."

He opened the oil paper package, and what came into view was a plate of oyster omelet, which is a popular dish on the island. It is made by beating eggs into an egg mixture, adding seasonings such as pepper, and then adding seafood such as oysters, shrimp, or octopus before frying it.

It has a fresh, fragrant, tender and smooth taste. She had eaten it once at a state-run restaurant when Qi Jingchuan took her to visit the island that day, and she was still a little unsatisfied. She never expected that Qi Jingchuan would bring it back for her today.

They even made up an excuse, saying that Leng Feng bought it and left it behind.

This oyster omelet costs two yuan a serving at a state-run restaurant, mainly because the eggs inside are expensive; you need to put in five or six. If Leng Feng bought it to eat, he would never have forgotten to take it from Qi Jingchuan. It was clearly something Qi Jingchuan bought on purpose.

They still won't admit it.

Cen Yan had the idea to tease him, "How can I eat what Comrade Leng Feng bought? What if he finds it and sees that I've finished it? Wouldn't people laugh at me for being greedy and say that I couldn't wait a moment and ate all of his oyster omelets? No way, I'll send it back to him."

Qi Jingchuan glanced at her sideways, "Me, a regimental commander, bringing him food?"

“He’s an instructor, so he’s your equal,” Cen Yan said with a smile. “One is a scholar, the other is a warrior; they’re not superior to each other.”

Qi Jingchuan was at his wit's end and could only say, "Oyster eggs will be fishy if they get cold. They'll be cold by the time they get there. Besides, the military has a clear order against bringing in outside food! So, do Leng Feng this favor and eat them."

After saying that, he pushed the oyster omelet in front of Cen Yan.
