Lu Ze saw the mischievous glint in her eyes and knew she was up to something again. He didn't stop her; instead, he smiled indulgently.
What can you do if your wife wants to play a harmless game? Just indulge her!
If anything goes wrong, he'll be there to cover for you.
Wan Guihua's thoughts were guessed, and her face turned pale and then red. At first, she didn't want to admit it, afraid of scaring Lu Ze away.
"You, a married woman, have no shame, but Commander Lu does. I admit you're not bad looking. If you were a shallow man, he might be deceived by your appearance, but Commander Lu is a steel warrior from the island troops."
"No matter how you try to seduce her, she'll never be interested in a fickle woman like you."
Wan Guihua spoke more and more fluently, as if she had found a direction to attack Yu Yao. She transferred all the anger she had been suppressing for so many years onto Yu Yao, and mocked her to the extreme.
"If your husband knew, you would have been divorced eight hundred times over. You're just a country bumpkin; you should be grateful you married a soldier. And you still dare to be so indecent after marriage."
"How could you possibly covet such an outstanding comrade as Commander Lu?"
After speaking, Wan Guihua looked at Lu Ze smugly, hoping to gain his approval.
But as soon as she looked over, she found Lu Ze staring at her with dark eyes, his gaze cold and disgusted.
Wan Guihua was a little flustered. Had she said something that upset him?
What can we do now? Is there any way to make up for it?
Wan Guihua was filled with remorse and was so anxious that she was like a headless fly when she heard Yu Yao ask Lu Ze.
"Commander Lu, this Aunt Chrysanthemum said that no matter how I try to seduce you, you won't be interested in me. Is what she said true?"
Yu Yao winked at Lu Ze, signaling him to cooperate.
A hint of a smile flashed in Lu Ze's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "It's not true."
After saying that, he paused, then spoke again: "If it were you, there would be no need to seduce me."
There was an uproar around them, and Wan Guihua's face turned as if she had seen a ghost, thinking she was hallucinating.
Yu Yao gave him a knowing look and continued, "This Aunt Chrysanthemum also said that someone as outstanding as Commander Lu is not someone a married woman like me can even dream of."
"Commander Lu, do you think I could have designs on you?" Yu Yao stood on tiptoe, staring intently into Lu Ze's eyes with her peach blossom eyes, and asked him directly.
They were so close that Yu Yao could count Lu Ze's eyelashes.
He lowered his head, and Yu Yao's gaze met his.
Those dark eyes were fixed intently on her, and Yu Yao's heart pounded uncontrollably.
His pupils reflected her image, as if she were his whole world.
As if her soul had been captured, Yu Yao asked again, almost as if possessed, "Lu Ze, can I have designs on you?"
Lu Ze looked at her intently for a moment, then said, "Okay!"
These two short words seem to suppress something, or like a silent volcano on an island, accumulating something, just waiting for the right moment to erupt.
Yu Yao felt as if those two words had struck her heart.
For a moment, she was somewhat dazed, unable to tell whether the question she had just asked was intentionally meant for Wan Guihua to hear, or whether it was something she wanted to ask herself.
The people around them were stunned by what the two said.
That's absolutely amazing.
One is a married woman, the other a young military officer... this...
Wan Guihua was furious. She never expected that her prospective son-in-law would be snatched away by Wu Wanying, a country girl who grew up in the countryside.
"Yu Yao, you shameless person!" Wan Guihua rushed forward, ready to tear Yu Yao's face apart.
Lu Ze's eyes suddenly turned cold. He grabbed Wan Guihua's hand with one hand, and his voice was so cold that the temperature around him dropped several degrees.
"Comrade, what do you intend to do to my wife?"
"Commander Lu, let go! I'm going to teach this woman a lesson!"
After saying that, Wan Guihua realized something and was completely dumbfounded. Her voice became a few shaky octaves: "What did you just say? My lover?!"
Those around were also stunned by this sudden turn of events.
"Did Commander Lu just say 'his lover'? Could he be referring to Yu Yao?"
The people around them started chattering.
"It must be Yu Yao. Among the women present, besides Yu Yao who is the right age, who else could be Commander Lu's lover?"
"Didn't they say Yu Yao married a cook in the army? There's nothing wrong with being a cook, but a regimental commander is definitely different. Commander Lu doesn't look like a cook at all."
"He's a regimental commander, he can't possibly be just an ordinary soldier."
"Then how did the rumor that Teacher Wu's son-in-law was a cook come about? It made us all misunderstand."
"Teacher Wu never said that Yu Yao married a cook; it was all Wan Guihua who said it. You know that this woman has disliked Teacher Wu ever since they lived in the same tenement, so of course she would spread rumors."
“The person involved is right here. Just ask around to find out if they’re lying.”
"Comrade Yu Yao, are you Commander Lu's wife?"
Yu Yao stood beside Lu Ze, looking at the families of the shipyard workers around her, and nodded with a smile.
"I forgot to introduce you ladies, my husband is Lu Ze, a soldier in the island military, a regimental commander."
When she mentioned "regimental level", Yu Yao deliberately emphasized it and glanced at Wan Guihua.
"See what I told you? Rumors are not to be believed. Teacher Wu's daughter is married very well. Such a young regimental-level officer is one of a kind even in Guangdong Province."
Someone glanced at Wan Guihua and said, "Some people just can't stand seeing others do well. She found an older widower with a child for her daughter, and she won't let anyone else get ahead of her. Now that she's been exposed, if I were her, I'd want to crawl into a hole and hide."
Wan Guihua never imagined that the son-in-law she had chosen would actually be Wu Wanying's son-in-law. How could she accept this?
Wu Wanying's daughter is just a country bumpkin, how can she compare to her daughter? How could she possibly marry a regimental commander?
There's definitely something fishy going on here.
Her gaze darted back and forth between the two men, and as if suddenly struck by a thought, she perked up immediately. "I know! You two are definitely having an affair and are afraid of being discovered, so you're just saying this on purpose. Anyway, we've never seen your real husband. You can say whatever you want."
Feeling isolated and alone, she immediately rallied the surrounding family members, saying, "Don't be fooled by them. They're having an affair. Let's report them and make sure they rot in jail."
Wan Guihua was still shouting, but the people around her didn't cooperate with her at all, leaving her feeling embarrassed and heartbroken.
Lu Ze took out a carefully preserved black-and-white double photo pocket watch from his chest and presented it to everyone.
"This is a photo of me and Comrade Yu Yao. You ladies can rest assured."
"I will not allow anyone to slander my wife. I will personally ask the shipyard leaders later whether they should intervene in such slander against the wife of a regimental-level officer!"
