Chapter 174 My relationship with Brother Shen is even better (Seeking monthly votes)
As soon as Luo Zilan said this, the people around her subconsciously stopped eating and glanced at her indifferently.
Luo Zilan did not see any approval in the eyes of these people.
Shen Jiang quickly finished his food and said to Luo Zilan, "Dr. Luo, please investigate the matter thoroughly before you speak next time. We were able to expose the enemy's lair this time entirely thanks to Momo and Zhou Tianyu. I was just an assistant."
Luo Zilan felt a little embarrassed; she had clearly wanted to take the opportunity to flatter him.
She had won Shen Jiang's favor, but it seems he doesn't appreciate it.
Luo Zilan's face turned ugly.
At this moment, everyone around had finished eating and had begun collecting their plates.
Luo Zilan didn't eat a single bite, and her plate was taken away.
Zhang Yan and Xu Qingmo found this scene quite ridiculous.
As Zhang Yan passed by Luo Zilan, he intentionally reminded her, "Dr. Luo, you'd better not meddle in other people's business; it won't do you any good."
"My affairs are none of your business," Luo Zilan said, suppressing her anger.
Zhang Yan shrugged. "I'm not trying to interfere with you, I'm just kindly reminding you that if you continue to be so ungrateful, no one will want to be your friend in the future."
"I don't want any friends."
What she wanted was always clear: she wanted to become Shen Jiang's wife.
Unfortunately, it was too late; Wang Jing, who was remarried before, got her first.
It was because she was always hesitant and didn't have the courage to pursue her feelings that someone else beat her to it.
Now, she has realized where she went wrong and is trying to make amends.
"If you don't want friends, what do you want?"
"What I want is none of your business." Luo Zilan stormed off, as if she had swallowed a time bomb.
Zhang Yan pursed his lips, feeling indignant on his own behalf.
"It's so hard to be a good person these days. I should have known better than to go and say something," Zhang Yan couldn't help but joke to himself.
Xu Qingmo reminded her, "You feel uncomfortable if you don't get a few words said about you, don't you?"
"No, it's just that I feel she always likes to meddle in our affairs, and I've been wanting to pick a fight with her now and then. I didn't expect her to actually be upset this time."
"Alright, we've finished eating. Let's go back to training."
Late at night, Luo Zilan reached out and touched the clothes of the man in her arms, then brought them to her nose and sniffed them hard.
She closed her eyes, imagining Shen Jiang's serious face gradually spiraling out of control in her mind.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't picture what it would look like.
But Luo Zilan's affection for Shen Jiang was no less than that for him.
The person she wants must belong to her. Right now, he has only been temporarily possessed by Wang Jing. Time is almost up, and it's time for him to return to her side.
The next day, Luo Zilan took the initiative to appear in front of Wang Jing. Wang Jing was taking stock of things and had already received a notice that she would deliver a batch of goods to the army that night.
Luo Zilan deliberately carried a cloth bag and took out the clothes inside. It was a gray overcoat, a men's style.
This action immediately attracted the attention of others, who gathered around and curiously asked about the origin of the clothes.
"Luo Zilan, how come you have a man's coat?"
"I remember you were still a virgin. How could you walk around carrying men's clothes? Don't you feel ashamed?"
"That's where you're wrong. As a girl, you must learn to respect yourself. Didn't anyone teach you these things at home?"
The people around us went from being curious at the beginning to criticizing us now.
Luo Zilan showed no panic whatsoever, as if she had anticipated all of these actions.
"Don't misunderstand, this coat was lent to me by Brother Shen. He was worried that I would get cold, so he lent it to me temporarily. After that, I didn't have time to give it back to him because I was on several missions in a row, so I thought I would give the coat to Wang Jing and ask her to take it back for me."
Luo Zilan's eyes were full of provocation.
Wang Jing took the coat from her hands without showing the slightest jealousy.
Wang Jing calmly said, "I've always told Shen Jiang that if we encounter someone in need of help, we should lend a helping hand. I didn't expect him to actually remember it."
Luo Zilan deliberately reminded him, "My relationship with Brother Shen is closer than you imagine. Before he married you, he always accompanied me on missions. We were really inseparable back then."
"Yeah?"
"Of course, we were once considered a golden couple." Luo Zilan remained in high spirits.
Wang Jing remained calm, as if nothing could penetrate her mind.
“You said it yourself, all of that is in the past. But now we’re married, and the person he sees most often is me. Even when you’re taking back this coat, you know to come to me first and give it to me. You’re really thoughtful.”
"You...you...aren't you angry?" Luo Zilan looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.
She wanted to keep this coat forever, and whenever she missed Shenjiang, she would take it out and hug it to her chest.
It was as if they had been thrown into the embrace of the sunken river.
The reason for handing the coat to Wang Jing was simply to mislead Wang Jing into misunderstanding the matter between Shen Jiang and her.
To everyone's surprise, Wang Jing didn't misunderstand at all.
"Why are you angry? You were together on a mission, not in private. If there was something going on between you, my marriage to Shen Jiang wouldn't have happened."
Wang Jing's analysis was very insightful.
People around them had been wondering about the relationship between Luo Zilan and Shen Jiang, but after hearing Wang Jing's analysis, they suddenly understood.
"Actually, there was a period of ambiguity between Brother Shen and me. We were even closer than you imagine."
"Which kind is better? The kind that goes beyond what a married couple should have?" Wang Jing pressed.
Luo Zilan was speechless for a moment.
She couldn't give a hasty answer now, because if she made a mistake in front of so many people, it would be spread throughout the entire army.
Her reputation will be ruined then.
"It doesn't go beyond the scope of a marital relationship..." Luo Zilan really wanted to be the third party in their relationship, but she couldn't admit it.
Wang Jing curled the corners of her lips. "Since there's nothing, there's nothing more to say. I'll take the coat with me. Thank you for taking such good care of the clothes. I'll have Shen Jiang thank you in person another day."
Wang Jing behaved with grace and poise, and did nothing that could give anyone cause for criticism.
On the other hand, Luo Zilan could have used this incident to drive a wedge between Wang Jing and Shen Jiang, but now it seems her efforts have all come to naught.
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. The mission time is almost up, I'm leaving."
Wang Jing got into the car and inspected the items inside.
As Luo Zilan was about to leave, several female soldiers called her out.
Several people blocked her way, their eyes fixed on her as if trying to see through her.
"What are you trying to do?" Luo Zilan asked, puzzled. She wanted to leave, but the other party wouldn't give her a chance to go.
