"That's great, thank you!"
Zhou Qiqi finally had something to look forward to and happily sat in the gatehouse waiting.
A moment later, footsteps were heard, followed by a loud woman's voice.
"They really came! That's great! Commander Shen said he was going to get the marriage certificate, but I didn't expect them to come so quickly!"
"It's alright that Commander Shen isn't here. I know his wife very well! I'll take her to my house to stay first!"
At first, Zhou Qiqi was quite happy to hear these enthusiastic words.
But as he listened, his expression changed.
"You brat (bad auntie), it's you?!"
The moment the wooden door creaked open, sparks flew as their eyes met in mid-air.
It's true what they say, enemies are destined to meet!
That's right, the person who came to greet her was the same mean-spirited aunt she had met on the train.
The woman stood with her hands on her hips, her eyes practically spitting fire.
She could never forget the scene on the train—Zhou Qiqi made her the laughing stock of the entire carriage with just a few words, and the train police even spent half a day checking her luggage!
She looked Zhou Qiqi up and down with a look of disgust, and said with a pursed mouth.
"She said she's Commander Shen Huaichuan's wife? That's impossible!"
She knew Shen Huaichuan's fiancée, named Lin Yao, who was her husband's distant niece.
The two were betrothed since childhood.
The Lin family is a family of doctors, and Lin Yao also studies medicine. Previously, due to her studies, their marriage had been delayed.
Lin Yao's internship at the provincial military hospital is about to end this year, and both families are eager for the two to get married.
Lin Yao's mother called her before the Lunar New Year, asking her to help make this happen. She did a lot of work, whispering sweet nothings in her husband's ear.
They finally managed to persuade Shen Huaichuan to go and get a marriage certificate with Lin Yao, but now someone has shown up pretending to be Shen Huaichuan's wife?!
Lin Yao is a college student from the city. She's tall, wearing a plaid skirt and a bow tie, and she looks incredibly stylish.
Zhou Qiqi, with her rustic and short appearance, actually wants to impersonate someone else?
That's hilarious!
The woman, confident in her words, shouted, "Comrade guard, don't believe her! She's probably a fraud!"
Then he embellished the story of what happened on the train.
In her own words, she became a kind-hearted person who did the right thing, and Zhou Qiqi, who was upset about losing her things, took out her anger on her, making her seem like an unreasonable shrew.
The middle-aged woman looked Zhou Qiqi up and down and said with absolute certainty, "She could never be Commander Shen's wife!"
The guard was puzzled. "But she has Commander Shen's identification."
This surprised the aunt, but she insisted on her own idea and explained in a flash of inspiration.
"I know, I know! She's not only a liar, but also a thief. She probably stole Commander Shen's identification document too!"
Now everything made sense. The auntie convinced herself and insisted that Zhou Qiqi was a thief and a liar, and that her purpose in coming to the military region was probably not pure.
The guard was in a dilemma. The woman spoke with great conviction, but Zhou Qiqi didn't seem like a bad person, so he could only press her for answers.
"Comrade, do you have a marriage certificate, or is there anyone else who can vouch for you?"
This is a military region; if neither of these two things is available, we really will have no choice but to detain her for now.
Marriage certificate?
Zhou Qiqi really couldn't produce this thing.
Moreover, no one in the military region knew about her marriage to Shen Huaichuan except for the two of them.
She wanted to explain, but didn't know how, so she could only shake her head.
This was exactly what the auntie wanted, and she immediately started making arrangements to have the security guards lock her in a small dark room and interrogate her thoroughly.
"Maybe she's an enemy spy!"
Zhou Qiqi curled up on the bench in the guard room, looking aggrieved, her eyelashes fluttering, as if she wanted to cry.
After walking for two hours, she was hungry and thirsty, and had no energy left to argue with the older woman.
A short while later, footsteps approached, and a tall shadow loomed over her.
She thought they were coming to take her away, and she pouted and whispered.
"I'm not lying, I really am Shen Huaichuan's wife! Shen Huaichuan is my husband!"
"you..."
Upon hearing this voice, Zhou Qiqi suddenly looked up and saw a dashing, handsome man looking down at her.
He stood against the light, his shoulder line taut like a sharp blade, cutting through the surrounding noise, as if the world consisted only of the two of them.
A cold glint flashed in the man's eyes, along with a subtle, peculiar emotion.
It's him!
Zhou Qiqi's heart began to pound uncontrollably.
