Chapter 129 There Will Never Be a Day of Divorce
"Aren't you afraid of being infamous for being so harsh on women and losing your chance to attract any suitors in the future?" Cen Yan took Qi Jingchuan back to her residence, took out the food she had prepared in advance from her spatial storage, and successfully avoided Qi Jingchuan.
She handed one of the meals to Qi Jingchuan, jokingly teasing him for being too fierce towards Tang Qiuxia earlier.
Qi Jingchuan, however, seemed insulted. "What do you want to convince me that I really have no connection with that Comrade Tang? The only two or three words I exchanged with her were, 'Um, okay, thank you, fellow villager.' That's all. If you don't believe me, call Leng Feng over to be my witness!"
He really didn't know how to coax the woman, let alone how to prove that Cen Yan was innocent, so he had no choice but to call Leng Feng over to prove his innocence.
Cen Yan patted him on the shoulder, "Commander Qi, aren't you afraid that Instructor Leng might stab you in the back?"
"He was my comrade-in-arms, someone I entrusted my life to. He would never stab me in the back!"
Qi Jingchuan said seriously, "If you trust someone, you don't have to use them. If you doubt someone, you won't team up with him on a mission."
Cen Yan was speechless: "The stabbing I'm talking about isn't a physical stabbing, but... never mind! It's pointless to talk to a blockhead like you. I can let today's matter go, but I hope there won't be a next time."
Qi Jingchuan's face is too attractive, but she really doesn't want to have to deal with unwanted romantic advances repeatedly after becoming the regimental commander's wife.
I don't have the energy for that.
Qi Jingchuan pressed further, "Are you still angry with me?"
"Well, Qi Jingchuan, in your eyes, I'm the kind of woman who gets angry easily? You underestimate me!"
Cen Yan chuckled and gave him a reproachful glare.
A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; Qi Jingchuan truly couldn't tell whether Cen Yan was angry or not after saying that.
If she wasn't angry, then she was just... teasing her on purpose, putting on a show for Tang Qiuxia?
"Why did you do this?" Qi Jingchuan asked Cen Yan, frowning in confusion.
While eating, Cen Yan replied, "It's very simple. I want you to feel a sense of crisis and deal with your unwanted romantic advances in advance so as not to bother me."
"Qi Jingchuan, Tang Qiuxia was right about something. Our marriage was arranged and we have no emotional foundation. If you ever fall in love with someone, remember to tell me. Don't hide it from me. I can divorce you and make room for the person you like."
"There's no need to make room, and there's no chance of divorce," Qi Jingchuan replied without hesitation, because...
Cen Yan looked at him curiously: "Why?"
"Don't eat too fast, drink some water." Qi Jingchuan refused to answer Cen Yan's question directly, poured her a glass of water, quickly finished his meal, and then went to find his other comrades to continue the harvest.
Otherwise, the villagers' entire year's harvest would be destroyed by this sudden torrential rain, leaving them with nothing and unable to even pay the commune's grain tax!
Cen Yan felt sorry for Qi Jingchuan; when he said those words, there was a clear hint of melancholy in his eyes.
Sigh! In public, Commander Qi is a man of integrity and uprightness, but in private, he is emotionally incapable of liking anyone.
He even said that he would not divorce her, his arranged marriage partner.
"Comrade Jingchuan! Is Comrade Jingchuan here?!"
Cen Yan felt sorry for Qi Jingchuan and was thinking of a topic to comfort him.
A hurried voice came from outside the door, followed by a frantic knocking!
