Chapter 106: There is no divorce in my world, only widowhood
Ruan Yuntang's heart skipped a beat. "What is this?"
"I heard from Chen Lieyang that there are missing crabapple petals in the picture frame on your wall." Jiang Yubai said naturally.
Ruan Yuntang only then realized that when Shen Lieyang was amazed by her painting made of flower petals, she did say this with regret.
"Thank you."
Ruan Yuntang took it. The glass bottle still had the other person's residual warmth on it. Her fingertips trembled slightly. She looked up and saw Jiang Yubai holding a cup of water and drinking water. She breathed a sigh of relief silently, then lowered her head and looked carefully at the flowers in the vase.
She was looking at the flowers but didn't notice that the other person's cup was empty.
The petals are intact and the color is well preserved. It can be seen at a glance that they are carefully selected and naturally dried.
Ruan Yuntang could see the intentions of the person who made the specimen. She looked up uncomfortably, and Jiang Yubai happened to put down his cup.
Their eyes met in mid-air for no reason.
There seemed to be a faint scent of crabapple flowers lingering between them in the air.
The two soldiers who came to visit the patient at the ward door looked at this scene, looked at each other, and secretly gave a thumbs up.
"He's the team leader, after all. During such a dangerous mission, he still has the leisure to prepare specimens for my sister-in-law."
"Yeah, when I came back my legs were shot, and I still remember asking someone to help me find a beautiful glass bottle to put the flowers in."
The whispers of the two fell into the ears of Ouyang Fei who had just walked to the door of the ward. His face darkened, and he looked at the two people who were talking and making love in the room, and suddenly cleared his throat.
The two soldiers were startled. They turned around to face their commander's stern face and saluted quickly.
"Hello, Chief of Staff!"
The two of them spoke with voices as loud as a bell, and the ambiguous atmosphere in the room was instantly swept away.
Ruan Yuntang's nervous heart suddenly relaxed, his palms sweating, and he hurriedly asked Jiang Yubai,
"Do you need anything to bring? I'll go back and get you a change of clothes and daily necessities."
Jiang Yubai frowned and was about to speak when Ouyang Fei's cold voice came from the door, "Yubai, I have something to tell you."
Jiang Yubai looked at Ouyang Fei's serious face and could only change his words to Ruan Yuntang:
"Please bring me the things in the second drawer of the bedside table in my room."
Ruan Yuntang nodded, then quickly passed by Ouyang Fei.
Ouyang Fei watched the girl's figure disappear, the rich fragrance of the girl still lingering in the air, and he frowned deeply.
What a capitalist behavior!
He walked into the ward with a cane, sat down on the bed opposite Jiang Yubai, and looked at him seriously.
"Yubai, you've made a great contribution this time. I've already reported this to the higher-ups, and they have high hopes for you."
After saying this, he looked at the calm face opposite him, and his admiration for him grew stronger. So he said earnestly:
"But you also know that you have a daughter-in-law who comes from a capitalist family. Even if the higher-ups are optimistic about you, you won't be able to access core confidential information, and there's no hope of promotion."
Only then did Jiang Yubai raise his eyes.
Ouyang Fei's demeanor calmed down and he continued:
"As long as you sever your ties with this bad element, you will be able to—"
"Chief of Staff!" Jiang Yubai interrupted him, his voice as cold as ice.
Ouyang Fei then realized something was wrong, frowned at him, and then smiled:
"I know that girl is pretty. You are full of vigor and vitality now, so it's not surprising that you like her."
As he spoke, he stood up and sat beside Jiang Yubai, patted his shoulder heavily with his big hand, and changed the subject.
"But Yubai, men shouldn't be obsessed with love."
"The most important thing in your heart should be the interests of the country."
His voice was sonorous and powerful, but as he finished speaking, a laugh came from his ear.
Ouyang Fei's expression turned cold, and his sharp eagle eyes narrowed. "Why, you don't agree with me?"
Jiang Yubai asked back, "Chief of Staff, does being with her affect the country?"
Ouyang Fei's expression froze slightly, and he said angrily, "Don't play dumb with me. This is not what I meant to tell you."
He took a deep breath, still unwilling to let go of this good seedling, and said:
"As long as you divorce her, I can transfer you to the Jingbei Military Region and even arrange for you to study at a military academy. Your future path will be smoother than it is now, and you will reach higher heights."
"And if you continue to hang out with this troubled individual, that's where you'll end up."
He explained everything and waited for Jiang Yubai to make a choice.
He believed that Jiang Yubai was a smart man and should know how to make choices.
Ouyang Fei was just beginning to feel relieved when he thought about it, and then he heard the other party say solemnly:
"Chief of Staff, there is no divorce in my world, only widowhood."
Ouyang Fei's face froze completely, and he was so angry that his breath was stuck in his chest, "You——"
"You are so stubborn!"
"You'll regret it later!"
Jiang Yubai let him curse, lowering his brows and saying nothing.
Through the thin wooden board, the man's firm words reached Qiao Sujin's ears. She frowned, then quickly relaxed.
He is indeed a good man, unlike Jiang Shaohuan, that bastard who only cares about power.
Qiao Sujin became more determined in her decision.
She must put everyone back in their place in this life.
However, Jiang Yubai seemed to be bewitched by that woman now.
In that case, she would start with Ruan Yuntang.
…
Ruan Yuntang had just left the hospital when she happened to meet the young comrade who had just sent her there and was also returning to the army. The young comrade enthusiastically took her with him.
On the way back, she learned that the young comrade was called Zhao Qiang and was also a member of this mission.
Xiao Zhao told her how dangerous this mission was, and finally comforted her:
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Doctor Qiao, who came to the army this time, is very skilled. Commander Jiang will be fine!"
Ruan Yuntang smiled and nodded.
Xiao Zhao turned his head and accidentally saw the bottle in her hand, and smiled again:
"Sister-in-law and Jiang Tuan are so loving! Jiang Tuan braved the heavy rain to pick these flowers. Later, when he was injured and on his way back, he still remembered to find a beautiful bottle to put them in for you!"
Ruan Yuntang's expression froze slightly, and he looked at the flowers in his hand with complicated eyes.
Of course she noticed Jiang Yubai's recent changes.
But after reading the original text, she knew that the villain would eventually return to the Jiang family.
A family like the Jiang family would never allow a woman with a questionable background like her to enter the house, which would cause a lot of trouble.
And the Jiang family is a hell of a place.
She originally wanted to avoid his contact with the Jiang family, and she didn't have to go back to the Jiang family and start a life-and-death struggle with the male protagonist.
But now Qiao Sujin appears here for some reason, which also means that he will eventually return to the plot.
What's more, Qiao Sujin was his fiancée. The article said that he and Jiang Shaohuan fought to the death for his fiancée.
Although it may not be true in her opinion, this matter concerns a man's self-esteem, so who can say for sure?
She didn't want to get involved in all this mess, so it would be better for her to maintain an agreement with Jiang Yubai and remind him at the appropriate time.
After figuring everything out, her emotions gradually calmed down. She put the glass bottle containing the crabapple flowers into her backpack and stopped looking at it.
On the way back, Ruan Yuntang frequently met his sister-in-law in the staff quarters.
"Sister Ruan, you're back!"
An auntie carrying a vegetable basket greeted her with a smile and forced a cucumber into her hand.
“Fresh, just wash and eat!”
Ruan Yuntang recognized her as the person who had said bad things about him together with Qiao Cui before. Just as he was about to stuff the cucumber back, the aunt burst into tears.
