The engineers from Shanghai were leaving, and Chief Engineer Xiao asked the canteen to prepare some delicious food so that the whole family could get together for the last time and put a perfect end to this cooperation.

Each group sat at a table with its members. As deputy group leader, Zhou Xi naturally sat next to Ji Wanqing.

I'm leaving.

Zhou Xi was a little melancholy, but he didn't know what he was melancholy about.

He had been on many business trips since he entered the graduate school at the age of seventeen, but none of them seemed as reluctant to leave as this one.

Chief Engineer Xiao came over to toast.

"Thank you all, you are the backbone of our project! Especially Deputy Team Leader Zhou, our comrade Xiao Ji had an accident some time ago and couldn't come to work. Thanks to you for bearing the pressure and not losing the chain, our subsequent integration work can be so smooth."

Zhou Xi is much better than when he first arrived, but this is only directed at Ji Wanqing. When facing other people, he is still very arrogant. "It should be."

Ji Wanqing followed Chief Engineer Xiao's words and picked up the wine glass, "Thank you, Deputy Team Leader Zhou. Without you, it would not be so easy for our team to carry out its work."

Zhou Xi leaned forward with his hands on the wine glass and clinked it with his. "No, I want to thank Team Leader Ji for allowing me to participate in the core research and development of the project."

Ji Wanqing curled his lips and smiled, said no more, and drank a glass of rice wine.

Maybe some people thought that Ji Wanqing did not live up to her reputation. After all, she only came in the afternoon and seldom took part in the work herself. She always assigned team members to do everything. Even things like monitoring the process and checking the results were done by Zhou Xi.

But today at the wine table, Zhou Xi's attitude was obviously unconvinced. To be able to convince such an arrogant Zhou Xi, this bookkeeper might really be quite capable.

After the dinner, everyone went back to their homes.

Those who stayed in the factory chatted and laughed on the way, and sent colleagues who lived outside to the factory gate.

The light in the guardhouse was dim.

I vaguely saw a person in the shadow, leaning slightly against the wall, very tall and straight.

Ji Wanqing recognized the person at a glance, turned around and said to his colleague behind him: "Sorry, my wife is here to pick me up, I'm leaving first."

Colleagues immediately burst into good-natured laughter and praised the good relationship between Ji Gong and his wife.

Jiang Che heard the voice, walked over from under the light, and nodded to Qingqing's colleagues one by one with a smile on his face, as a greeting.

But when his eyes fell on Zhou Xi's face, he found that the corners of his mouth were drooping and his eyes were filled with disgust, which made him stand out in the happy atmosphere.

Chief Engineer Xiao said lovingly, "Okay, you guys go ahead and be careful on the road."

"Goodbye, Chief Engineer Xiao, goodbye to the 꺶 family, and goodbye to all the comrades in Shanghai if we are lucky enough!"

Ji Wanqing said goodbye with a smile, turned around and naturally took the hand that Jiang Che handed over. His warm and dry palm gently held hers, which seemed particularly warm in the cold night wind.

The young couple walked slowly home.

On the way, Jiang Che held Qingqing's hand tightly and asked casually, "I remember Zhou Xi was in your project team. How did you get along? Did he not give you a cold shoulder because of what happened back then?"

Ji Wanqing recalled the past few days of getting along with him and shook his head honestly, "No, Xiao Zhou is quite capable and has a decent personality. Although he was aggressive with me at first, he was tamed by me later and became very obedient! Haha, am I awesome?"

After hearing this, Jiang Che understood.

It turned out that Zhou Xi just came to the door not because he disliked Qingqing, but because he couldn't stand him.

"Amazing." Jiang Che sighed softly, unconsciously holding her in his arms, and whispered, "The best thing my grandfather has ever done in his life is to arrange a marriage for us."

With Qingqing's popularity, he is the deputy group leader, the criminal police captain, and the special researcher, not to mention the many pressures he has to bear that he dare not show. How can he have a say in this?

He really took advantage of the prerequisite of the marriage contract.

Under the teasing moonlight, Ji Wanqing felt that Jiang Che was particularly passionate tonight. He tortured her lips vigorously, asking her over and over again whether she loved him, liked him, and missed him.

It was the first time I did this to him after returning from Huai County. I thought it was a sudden event that only happened occasionally, but I didn't expect it to be intermittent and lasting.

Ji Wanqing was so tired that she couldn't even lift her hands. When she saw Jiang Che bringing water to wipe her body, she wanted to kick him. "If you dare to make me say those vulgar words again, I'll strangle you to death!"

Jiang Che twirled his handkerchief without saying a word, turning a deaf ear to Qing Qing's threats and not listening to them at all.

When they said these words, she felt very emotional. Her face turned red and even the corners of her eyes were a shy pink.

When Jiang Che thought of the high-ranking intellectuals who were elegant, friendly and distant in front of others, but only when they were under her would they radiate seductive charm that no one else could see, he could hardly suppress the heat in his heart. He could not help but feel distracted, and his hands that were wiping her body began to stir unconsciously.

"Get out!" After Ji Wanqing realized his intention, she almost laughed out of anger.

This man really wasn't lying. He really felt sorry for her and cared about her, so he resisted the urge to act like a beast!

-

On the morning of the second day, Ji Wanqing slept until noon and was awakened by a knock on the courtyard door.

She thought it was Ye Yaman or Zhuge Rongniang, so she stood up, put on some clothes, went downstairs and opened the door.

Who knew that Ji Xiaorou was such an unlucky thing.

"Hello, are you Deputy Commander Jiang's lover? I am the new daughter-in-law of the Yan Chong family next door."

Ji Wanqing leaned against the door frame and asked lazily, "What's the matter?"

There was a gleam of disgust in Ji Xiaorou's eyes. She always felt that the person in front of her was familiar and disgusting.

"This week is the day when Yan Chong and I are having a wedding banquet. You didn't come back some time ago, so I was unable to notify you in time. I hope you two will come over."

With Yan Chong's character, if he wanted to entertain all the neighbors in Lane 2, he would invite them alone. If they didn't go, it would seem that he was holding a grudge.

Ji Wanqing nodded, "Okay, anything else?"

Hearing the other party's impolite tone, Ji Xiaorou inexplicably felt that she seemed to hate herself even more! ? Didn't she provoke her when she first came? !

Is it because she is the daughter-in-law of the Yan family?

"It's okay." Ji Xiaorou glanced at the coat on her shoulders and her hair hanging loosely behind her. It was obvious that she had just gotten up, and it was already half past ten.

Also, when she was with the army, she had to get up early in the morning to make breakfast for the family, coax Yan Xiaohu to eat, send him to school, go to the market to buy vegetables, come back to sweep the floor and do the laundry, and now she had just finished and was about to prepare lunch.

And the guy next door actually slept until now? It's really annoying to compare with others.

Ji Xiaorou didn't want to embarrass herself, so she said a few polite words and left.

When they got home, Yan's mother asked in a gloomy tone, "That vixen next door must have agreed, right? She eats and drinks for free and runs away faster than anyone else."

Ji Xiaorou claimed to be a high school student and was unwilling to lower her status by swearing at the old rural woman, so she asked, "Mom, what is the grudge between the neighbor and our family? Why do you hate her?"

"Why are you asking this?" Yan's mother looked alert, fearing that her daughter-in-law would know about the ugly incident in which her son proposed to marry a bitch.

Ji Xiaorou was stunned, as if she had not expected her mother-in-law to react like this.

"I, I'm just asking casually. By the way, mother, do you know where the officers at the battalion commander level in our military region live?"
