Chapter 54 Prepare yourself mentally for ruining Qi Jingchuan
She looked Wang Manman up and down, her gaze finally settling on Wang Manman's angry face.
"It's a pity that when you get angry, your nostrils flare out bigger than your eyes. Qi Jingchuan likes my small nose. I was attracted to him and he was attracted to me at first sight. Comrade Wang Manman, you... haven't reached the threshold yet."
Wang Manman was so angry that her eyes turned red after being criticized and ridiculed by Cen Yan.
"Cen Yan!! How dare you call me ugly! If Commander Qi knew you were this kind of person, he would definitely regret marrying you!"
Cen Yan leaned closer to Wang Manman and said, "Oh, it's a pity. My marriage with Qi Jingchuan is a legal relationship, stamped by the organization and protected by law. If Comrade Wang Manman wants to interfere, she should consider whether she can bear the consequences. After all, breaking up a military marriage is a serious crime."
"You—" Wang Manman's nostrils flared. Was Cen Yan threatening her?
Just then, a man's voice came from the courtyard, "Haven't you sent Grandpa and Grandma off yet?"
Cen Yan took a few steps back to create distance between herself and Wang Manman, and answered loudly, "I'm talking to my sisters-in-law, I'm coming."
She didn't look at Wang Manman again. How could she possibly compete with someone as bland and uninteresting as Wang Manman, whose mind was always preoccupied with romance?
Too young.
Cen Yan ignored the stares of others and went home with an air of nonchalance.
As she walked, she flipped through the savings book that Zhao Gongqin had given her.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it, and what you find is astonishing.
The bride price was a whopping five thousand!
This was in 1974, five thousand dollars, which is equivalent to five hundred thousand dollars in later years!
Although Cen Yan was a capitalist's daughter and used to luxury, she also knew that in this day and age, the wages of ordinary workers, even those who were somewhat decent, were at most thirty yuan.
The old man gave her five thousand, and the old lady even gave her a piece of imperial jadeite. Wow! She really hit the jackpot this time!
Qi Jingchuan glanced at the woman's greedy expression and said, "Go wash up and go to bed."
As he spoke, Qi Jingchuan took the enamel basin and towel and went out. When Cen Yan followed him out, the man had already carried two buckets of water, one hot and one cold, into the bathroom and urged her to take a shower and rest.
They've got their marriage certificate and held the wedding banquet; she and Qi Jingchuan are legally married, so whatever they do tonight is perfectly acceptable.
Even though she had mentally prepared herself, why did she panic at the last minute?
Although Qi Jingchuan was very handsome, a man one in a million, Cen Yan felt a little strange about doing this kind of thing with him after only knowing him for a few days.
It was as if Qi Jingchuan and I were two small animals, and when it was time for us to mate, we were in heat...
She had a strong urge to ruin Qi Jingchuan, but she was also afraid, though she couldn't quite put her finger on what she was afraid of.
As Cen Yan was lost in thought, the door creaked open, and she quickly looked up to see Qi Jingchuan walk in.
He took off his military uniform, wearing only a white vest and wide shorts that reached his knees. Cen Yan could see more clearly the firm muscles that were originally covered by the military uniform.
Cen Yan couldn't help but swallow hard, then quickly closed her eyes, lay down on the inside of the double bed, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Fear of the unknown, shyness and nervousness about the known consequences, yet because the other party is Qi Jingchuan, there is a little bit of anticipation mixed with fear and nervousness...
Snap! Click! Two crisp sounds, and the man reached out and pulled the light cord, plunging the room into darkness instantly.
A tall, muscular man got into bed and lay on the outer side. A large patch of moonlight shone through the open window, illuminating the foot of the bed.
Cen Yan took a deep breath. She was going to die sooner or later anyway. The other party was Qi Jingchuan, and she wouldn't lose out. So she might as well do it!
Thinking this, Cen Yan hid under the covers, took out the thing that was under the pillow, and carefully handed it to Qi Jingchuan.
