Chapter 71 He's Jealous: Does He Like Me More Than My Body?
Jiang Wanqiu shrank her neck before explaining the whole story.
"...There were a few children at school who were very interested in the violin, so I kept them in the classroom to learn. Staff Officer Gu was with them too. He told me that a military commander's daughter was coming over in a few days, and the commander specifically asked him to accompany her and prepare a talent show."
Upon hearing "the leader's daughter," Zhao Wenchang's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and an image immediately flashed into his mind: a face heavily made up, speaking gibberish in a foreign language.
He was the one who greeted the girl when she first came.
He was so annoyed by what he heard that he simply asked, "Comrade, can you speak human language?"
One sentence was enough to drive that rich young lady crazy. She started throwing things and yelling that she wanted to replace him.
In the end, Gu Feiyan stepped in. He had been exposed to some things from the Soviet Union due to his mission in his early years and knew a little foreign language, which was enough to make him serve the young lady properly.
Unexpectedly, there was more to this story.
“I think,” Zhao Wenchang pinched Jiang Wanqiu’s waist and chuckled, “that he learned this stuff just to curry favor with that rich young lady. But I think the two of them are quite a good match.”
He thought for a moment, then slowly added two more words: "A talented man and a beautiful woman."
Jiang Wanqiu nodded in agreement: "Staff Officer Gu is young and promising, and has a handsome appearance. He is indeed a rare and excellent comrade."
As soon as he finished speaking, the force on his waist tightened.
Zhao Wenchang raised an eyebrow, turned her body around so she was facing him: "He's young and promising, but what about me?"
Seeing the obvious jealousy in the man's eyes, Jiang Wanqiu felt helpless and could only coax him, "You? Well, you're young and promising too."
"Tsk." Zhao Wenchang was dissatisfied. He pinched her chin and lifted it up. "Your praise is not sincere at all. Do it again."
This man can be really...unreasonable sometimes.
Jiang Wanqiu racked her brains, staring at the other person's eyes and brows, and finally managed to stammer out, "Hmm... good-looking?"
Zhao Wenchang raised an eyebrow, clearly not agreeing with the statement.
The next second, he suddenly bent down, picked the woman up in his arms, and strode towards the bedroom.
Jiang Wanqiu gasped and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Anything else?" The man's deep voice, tinged with a seductive laugh, rang in my ears. "I serve you so diligently every night, and all I get in return is a comment that I'm good-looking?"
Upon hearing the man's words, Jiang Wanqiu's face flushed bright red, like a ripe apple.
She buried her face in the man's firm chest and said in a muffled voice, "Stop messing around!"
The man's deep laughter resonated in his chest. He gently placed Jiang Wanqiu on the kang (a heated brick bed), leaned over her, and placed his hands on either side of her body, firmly imprisoning her beneath him.
"Shy?" He leaned closer, his nose almost touching hers. "Then tell me, do you like me as a person, or do you like my body more?"
How was she supposed to answer that?
Jiang Wanqiu turned her head away, avoiding his burning gaze.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhao Wenchang's wickedness flared up. He leaned down, his thin lips pressed against her sensitive earlobe, and he seduced her in a hoarse voice: "Hmm? Not going to say? Then I'll take that as you admitting it's the latter."
As he spoke, his large hand slid restlessly to the woman's slender neck, his fingertips gently caressing her warm and delicate skin.
Jiang Wanqiu trembled all over from his actions, and her breathing became disordered.
Looking at her, who seemed to have her completely under his control, Zhao Wenchang's Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes darkened to the point of being black.
His calloused fingertips lingered on the side of her neck, and finally he sighed with some regret.
“It seems,” he said softly, “that your body has already given you the answer.”
Jiang Wanqiu felt that this man was sometimes really difficult to deal with.
The next day, Jiang Wanqiu got out of bed, her whole body aching.
Jiang Wanqiu could sense that Zhao Wenchang had been suppressing his emotions yesterday, but she didn't know where this subtle hostility came from, and the force with which he was kneading her was frighteningly strong.
She rubbed her eyes and walked to the mirror to wash up and get ready. When she saw the glaring red marks on her neck in the mirror, she was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to crawl into a hole.
How can she go out and face people now!
Zhao Wenchang had just returned from buying eggs and steamed buns when he entered the door and saw his wife gritting her teeth in front of the mirror.
He leaned closer to take a look and chuckled, "Isn't it quite beautiful?"
Jiang Wanqiu turned around and glared at him fiercely.
Zhao Wenchang rubbed his nose and casually suggested, "Why don't you tell people that you had cupping done last night?"
"Zhao Wenchang!" Jiang Wanqiu was so angry that she grabbed a towel and threw it at him. "Who's the kind person who gets cupping done on their neck!"
When she arrived at elementary school, Jiang Wanqiu specially found a silk scarf to wrap around her to cover up those eye-catching marks.
She didn't expect to see Gu Feiyan and Principal Wang inside as soon as she arrived at the office door.
After pushing open the door, Gu Feiyan was standing in front of the principal, her expression open and honest: "Principal Wang, I will now give a deep self-criticism in front of all the teachers about yesterday's incident. This was my oversight; I used the school classroom for private study without informing you in advance, and I am willing to accept any punishment."
He explained the ins and outs of the piano teaching incident in a clear, logical, and respectful manner.
Principal Wang waved his hand and sighed, "Xiao Gu, this isn't your fault. I've heard about the daughter of that military commander; she's not someone to be trifled with. You've really had a hard time."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanqiu immediately stepped forward: "Principal Wang, yesterday..."
Gu Feiyan spoke up first: "Principal, there's one more thing. Yesterday, Teacher Sun Xiaomei publicly slandered me and Teacher Jiang for having an improper relationship. This not only damaged our personal reputations but also seriously affected the school's atmosphere."
Upon hearing this, Principal Wang's already stern face instantly darkened. He slammed his hand on the table and roared in fury, "Outrageous! This is utter nonsense!"
He immediately instructed the head of teaching affairs to convene all the teachers in the conference room for an emergency meeting.
At the meeting, Principal Wang criticized Sun Xiaomei by name for her narrow-mindedness and tendency to make unfounded accusations, which seriously undermined the unity among colleagues. He ordered her to apologize to Jiang Wanqiu and Gu Feiyan in public.
Sun Xiaomei stood before the crowd, her face flushed a deep purplish-red, her head bowed so low it was almost buried in her chest, and she reluctantly managed to squeeze out three words: "I'm sorry."
Jiang Wanqiu stood before her, her expression calm and her demeanor poised: "Teacher Sun, I accept your apology. I hope that in the future we can unite and work together for the children."
In order to set a positive example, Principal Wang announced on the spot that, in view of Teacher Jiang Wanqiu's selfless dedication to providing artistic enrichment for the children in her spare time, a special bonus would be awarded as a reward.
A round of applause immediately filled the conference room.
When Sun Xiaomei returned to her office, she was so angry that she trembled as she listened to her colleagues praising Jiang Wanqiu and whispering that she had "lost more than she gained."
Well, Jiang Wanqiu, you've got some serious tricks up your sleeve! Having an affair at school and using children as cover! That's a truly vicious move!
Since we can't touch you at school... what about outside?
She still clearly remembered what Gu Feiyan had said last time—"in a few days."
Okay, okay, in a few days!
Sun Xiaomei gave a cold laugh.
She'll be waiting outside, waiting for a "catch-the-cheat" incident off-campus. Then, with the evidence caught red-handed, let's see how you try to deny it!
