On the desk.
The stewed goose in the iron pot had gone completely cold.
The surface was covered with white oil spots, which made it look unappetizing.
This dish tastes best when it's stewed on the same day it's made.
Jiang Linchuan picked up the plates and threw them all into the trash can.
He rubbed his bloodshot eyes and got up to head to the training ground.
He shouldn't let Xu Xinghe lead him by the nose, and he shouldn't change himself because of her.
The future will not change; he will still be the same person he was before.
As Jiang Linchuan walked out of the office, a figure suddenly darted out from the side.
He immediately frowned and stepped back.
This used to happen frequently.
There are always women throwing themselves at him.
It was only later, when he acted too coldly, that those people gave up.
Wang Zhizhi stopped and stared intently at the man in front of her.
She didn't know what was wrong with her. She didn't sleep all night. Whenever she closed her eyes, all she could see was him carrying Xu Xinghe away.
Xu Xinghe had said so much before, but she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
But yesterday, she saw it with her own eyes!
Jiang Linchuan actually condescended to bend down, just so that woman could lie on him!
On what grounds?
In her past life, she wouldn't even let Jiang Linchuan carry her, let alone touch her!
Seeing that she didn't speak, Jiang Linchuan walked past her, intending to leave.
Wang Zhizhi blocked his way again.
"What do you want?" Jiang Linchuan had completely lost his patience. If he didn't want to lay a hand on a woman, he would have kicked her long ago.
Wang Zhizhi saw the disgust in his eyes, and her heart felt a gaping hole, as if she had been transported back to her past life.
The nightmare that had lasted for more than a decade, the resentment, the pain, the twisted hatred and love, all rushed up at once!
"Jiang Linchuan, you don't understand what liking or loving is at all, do you?"
Are you sick?
Wang Zhizhi raised her hand, stopping him for the third time. "Tell me, is that right?"
Her lips trembled. "Or is it that you like Xu Xinghe! As long as it's her, you can touch her however you want!"
Upon hearing this name, Jiang Linchuan's eyes softened unconsciously, without him even realizing it.
Wang Zhizhi saw it all clearly. She raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face!
If Jiang Linchuan weren't a stone, he could still fall for other women!
Then I must have been a joke in my past life!
All the suffering she endured in her life was thanks to this heartless man!
Jiang Linchuan's eyes suddenly turned icy cold. He grabbed Wang Zhizhi's wrist and shoved her away without hesitation, a dangerous aura spreading around him. "You want to lay a hand on me?"
Wang Zhizhi collapsed to the ground, completely ignoring the pain emanating from her lower body. A metallic taste rose in her throat. "So you like Xu Xinghe, and everything you did was because of her!"
He treated her that way in his past life because of Xu Xinghe!
More than ten years!
She tried everything, but she couldn't melt that cold heart!
It turns out it was all because of another woman!
Jiang Linchuan saw the hatred in her eyes, his gaze as sharp as an ice-cold knife. "Wang Zhizhi."
Wang Zhizhi shuddered as she met his icy gaze.
His eyes were devoid of warmth, filled only with undisguised warning and disgust, sending a chill down her spine.
"I don't care what you're thinking," Jiang Linchuan said, enunciating each word clearly. "Stay away from Xu Xinghe from now on, and don't use any means to hurt her again."
He stepped forward, his aura sharp and intimidating, making it hard for anyone to breathe. "Otherwise, even if I'm bound by military regulations, I will absolutely not let you go!"
Last time, Li Xingzhou used his connections, and because the investigation team had a complicated background, he let Wang Zhizhi go.
But there will absolutely be no next time!
Wang Zhizhi's face turned deathly pale. Only after Jiang Linchuan disappeared did she cover her face, tears streaming down her face, her heart filled with boundless hatred!
Even after she was reborn, she repeatedly told herself not to concern herself with her past life.
But when she actually arrived in Heilongjiang Province and actually saw Jiang Linchuan, she simply couldn't control herself.
That was her obsession, her pain, and her resentment from her past life.
She gave everything to Jiang Linchuan, but all she got in return were strange looks from others and nights spent alone in an empty room!
Even with Li Xingzhou present, this intense mix of love and hate couldn't be suppressed.
"Jiang Linchuan, you have such a cruel heart!"
"You've never touched me your whole life, making me a laughingstock, but you can touch Xu Xinghe and even threaten me for her sake! Why couldn't you have said a word for me in your past life, even just one word for me..."
She won't become a laughing stock in other people's eyes!
Wang Zhizhi had forgotten that it was she who had ruthlessly stolen the engagement and gone to great lengths to marry Jiang Linchuan.
She only remembers her own pain.
After a long while, Wang Zhizhi got up.
She brushed the mud off her clothes and headed to Hongxing Village.
She came out early, and the soldiers had only just gotten up; no one had seen what had just happened.
Wang Zhizhi lowered her head and muttered to herself. Unconsciously, she arrived at Hongxing Village.
An old man sat on a small stool, holding a pipe in his hand. "Wang Zhizhi, you're here for labor reform, not to enjoy yourself! From now on, come at five o'clock in the morning. If you're late, I'll tell the leaders in the military and they'll send you out directly! Hurry up and go shovel the manure. Shovel a lot today. Oh, and also shovel up the cow dung at the village chief's house."
Wang Zhizhi was like a walking corpse, picking up a shovel and going to work.
Her eyes grew increasingly red, and her blows became more and more vicious. "Xu Xinghe...Xu Xinghe!"
"Achoo!" Xu Xinghe rubbed her itchy nose. "What's going on? Am I really going to catch a cold?"
She took a sip of hot water to make sure she felt alright before sitting in front of the mirror to get ready.
After changing her clothes, she took the knee pads and cotton shoes she had prepared for Jiang Linchuan and headed to the office building.
Jiang Linchuan was handling official business when his subordinates suddenly paused.
Before she even arrived, he could already hear her delicate voice, unique to her.
"Lieutenant Wang, is Lin Chuan here?"
"Yes, Commander Jiang is here."
"That's fine then."
The sound was getting closer.
Jiang Linchuan gripped the pen tighter and tighter.
"I'm here!" The door suddenly opened.
Xu Xinghe came running in with a big smile, presenting him with something as if it were a treasure, "Ta-da! Look what this is!"
Jiang Linchuan remained expressionless, pushing the things aside. "I'm working. Please leave immediately."
Xu Xinghe stood there, stunned.
Wait... what's going on?
Haven't they already thawed their relationship a tiny bit?
Why has Jiang Linchuan reverted to his aloof and unapproachable self from before?
"I know you're working, it won't take up much of your time. I brought you a gift, would you like to see it?" Xu Xinghe used her charm to win him over.
Jiang Linchuan gritted her teeth and raised her cold eyes. So she used to act coquettishly towards Li Xingzhou like this?
"Xu Xinghe, I don't need this. Please don't presume to send me anything in the future. Now, please leave!"
"Lieutenant Wang, take him away. From now on, no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter the office area without my permission!"
