Chapter 88 Bewitched by Male Beauty
After the kiss, Zhao Wenchang finally stepped back a little.
His thumb caressed the woman's lips, which were slightly swollen from being kissed, his eyes deep and frighteningly hot.
Jiang Wanqiu slumped into his arms, her mind still a complete mess. Her watery almond eyes seemed to be veiled in mist as she looked at him, almost forgetting to breathe.
Looking at her dazed and silly appearance, Zhao Wenchang's Adam's apple bobbed, and a deep laugh resonated from his chest, carrying a sense of triumph.
"Look at you..." He deliberately lowered his voice, his thin lips almost touching her ear, "Your face is as red as a monkey's bottom. I don't know who was saying no just now, but now they're clinging to me and won't leave. Tell me, who's the more lustful one between us?"
These words immediately jolted Jiang Wanqiu's still-dazed mind awake.
I'm so easily controlled by men.
It's all this man's fault for being too skilled and cunning, which is why I always end up being led by the nose without even realizing it.
Yes, that must be it!
"You...you pervert!" Jiang Wanqiu's pretty face turned bright red, whether from anger or embarrassment, she struggled to get off his strong thighs, and after regaining her balance, she pushed him hard.
She ran back to her chair and sat down, looking into the man's dark eyes that seemed to be smiling at her. She shrank back and said, "You always use this trick to distract me. If you're so capable, then you're not allowed to touch me again!"
Zhao Wenchang leaned back in his chair with a leisurely air, finding her flustered appearance extremely amusing.
He raised an eyebrow, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "Oh? You said it yourself."
Although the man verbally agreed, his eyes didn't seem to indicate that he would let her go, which made Jiang Wanqiu feel very uneasy.
She always felt that this man was up to no good and was probably plotting how to bully her again.
Jiang Wanqiu secretly made up her mind that she would have to be careful of him from now on!
The atmosphere during the meal was strange.
Jiang Wanqiu buried herself in her food, thinking that if she couldn't beat him, she could at least eat him.
There was just too much food on the table. She was so full that she could barely eat anymore. There was still more than half of the sweet and sour pork and stir-fried potatoes, green peppers, and eggplant left. She felt so bad that she couldn't help but complain, "Look at all this food. It's such a waste of food if we can't finish it."
Just as Zhao Wenchang was about to speak, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the private room.
First, there was the sound of the door to the private room being forcibly kicked open, followed by the sound of several people shouting loudly.
Amid the chaos, a shrill female voice pierced through the door, faintly drifting in: "Where's Jiang Wanqiu?! Why isn't she here?!"
Jiang Wanqiu looked completely bewildered. Who was looking for her?
Zhao Wenchang frowned, put down his chopsticks, and subconsciously looked up at the woman.
Clearly, he heard the conversation perfectly.
The two exchanged a glance, then Zhao Wenchang stood up, opened the door to the private room, and walked out. Jiang Wanqiu quickly followed him.
In the corridor, a few people were gathered at the door of a private room not far away. Sun Xiaomei was excitedly talking to someone inside the room. Beside her stood a man in military uniform with a serious expression.
Zhao Wenchang immediately recognized the other person as Zhang Li from the Political Department of the Military Region.
As Sun Xiaomei was shouting, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Wanqiu walking out from the other end.
Upon closer inspection, why is there another Zhao Wenchang next to him?
She froze on the spot, too surprised to say a word.
What happened?
Why is Jiang Wanqiu with Zhao Wenchang?! She clearly heard at school that Jiang Wanqiu had arranged to meet Gu Feiyan at this state-run restaurant at noon today!
Just then, in the private room that Sun Xiaomei had forcibly pulled open, a woman slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "What's all the noise about! Can't a person even eat in peace?!"
She dressed fashionably, with a stylish perm and upturned eyebrows, clearly not someone who would tolerate being wronged.
Beside her stood a middle-aged man with a stern face, his rank insignia higher than Zhao Wenchang's. Gu Feiyan, holding his violin, stood opposite them, quietly watching the woman who had come to cause trouble.
The woman with the princess perm left her seat, walked a few steps to Sun Xiaomei, and said in a crisp, loud voice, "Speak! Who was shouting 'adulterous couple' outside just now? You explain yourself properly!"
As she spoke, she turned her head and glared fiercely at Gu Feiyan, her eyes full of contempt: "And you, Gu Feiyan! You already have a woman of your own, yet you still want to come and climb the social ladder by marrying into our family. What are you up to?!"
Gu Feiyan frowned upon hearing this, clearly displeased with the misunderstanding: "Miss Le, please don't misunderstand. I'm not familiar with this Comrade Sun Xiaomei at all, and I don't know what's gotten into her that she came here today."
"Shut up, all of you!" The commander asked Zhang Li, his face ashen. "Comrade Zhang Li, you tell me, what exactly happened?"
Zhang Li snapped to attention and saluted, then loudly reported, "Reporting, sir! I received a formal complaint from Comrade Sun Xiaomei, alleging that Comrade Gu Feiyan and Comrade Jiang Wanqiu, a family member of our army, engaged in improper conduct and had a secret meeting here at noon today. Therefore, I have come to investigate!"
Sun Xiaomei quickly waved her hands and explained, "Commander, this is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! I was just worried and confused, thinking about the atmosphere of our military region!"
"For the sake of the military region?"
A deep male voice, tinged with sarcasm, rang out from behind the crowd.
Zhao Wenchang strolled over slowly, a cold smile playing on his lips.
“Comrade Sun Xiaomei, if I remember correctly, this isn’t the first time you’ve staged this kind of ‘misunderstanding,’ is it?” he said. “Every time you create a ‘misunderstanding,’ it’s with the direct aim of damaging my wife, Comrade Jiang Wanqiu’s, reputation. I think this time, you have to give me and my wife a clear explanation.”
"Zhao Wenchang?"
When the leader saw Zhao Wenchang appear at the door, he was stunned for a moment. Then his gaze swept between Zhao Wenchang and Jiang Wanqiu, and he immediately understood seven or eight parts of the situation.
His already dark face darkened further, and he roared at Zhang Li, "Nonsense! Zhang Li! Take this troublemaking woman who's damaging the reputation of our comrades back immediately! Put her in solitary confinement! I'll go to the political department and have a good talk with her myself once I'm done here!"
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Li saluted again, then grabbed Sun Xiaomei's arm, who was still trembling, and dragged her away despite her struggles.
Seeing the two disappear at the top of the stairs, the commander's anger subsided somewhat, replaced by a kind smile. He beckoned to Zhao Wenchang and Jiang Wanqiu, saying, "Wenchang, what a coincidence that you're here for dinner too. So, this must be your sweetheart? She's quite a pretty girl. Come on, come on, don't just stand there, come in and eat with us."
Zhao Wenchang took Jiang Wanqiu's hand and said politely with a smile, "No, sir, we just finished eating and were about to go to the department store to buy some things for my wife."
"Go to the department store?" The leader's eyes lit up. He glanced at his daughter, who was still sulking beside him. "That's perfect! We were also planning to go to the department store to buy some clothes for Yunyun. We're two roughnecks and don't know anything about clothes. It's good that Jiang Wanqiu is here too. You two young ladies will definitely have common topics to talk about. Going together can give you some suggestions!"
The woman named "Yunyun" standing nearby was displeased upon hearing this.
She crossed her arms and pouted, retorting, "Dad! Can you call me by my new name, Linda Le! And who said I was going to buy anything? I haven't even agreed on whether or not I should stay in the country!"
