If Han Junche's previous request to move to the row house sounded somewhat like a fit of pique or even an attempt to put the base in a difficult position, then his application for couples to share a room, the merging of the two teams, and the opening up of the row house are all perfectly reasonable.
Jia Jing and Jia Li, who were standing to the side, both turned cold.
Jia Jing glanced at Jia Li, then said to Han Junche, "Ache, these are all minor matters. Since Miss Chi is your girlfriend, we are family. Everything can be discussed."
A family?
Chi Xia glanced at Jia Jing and Jia Li, then at Han Junche, and frowned.
Han Junche showed no expression when he heard the words "family".
"There's one more thing I need to clarify." Han Junche looked at Jia Jing and said, "Just like I told you before, you can call me whatever you want, but not 'A-Che.' I promised Chi Xia that this name belongs exclusively to her."
It was just a title, yet Han Junche showed her absolutely no respect in front of so many people.
Jia Jing's face instantly turned cold, and she was filled with embarrassment.
Even Jia Li, who was standing to the side, almost lost his smile. He thought that no matter what, Han Junche would give Jia Jing some face, but he did not expect that Han Junche would not only not give her face, but would also reiterate the importance of this matter so seriously and persistently.
But Jia Li managed to maintain his polite smile: "Oh, I see."
He turned to Jia Jing and said, "Did you hear that? It's just a form of address. Don't make things difficult for Xiao Han."
In just a few words, the matter was reduced to a promise, completely ignoring Han Junche's implicit defense of Chi Xia.
Jia Jing's eyes trembled slightly, but she put on a polite smile again and said to Han Junche, "Since this title has such important meaning to you, then it was indeed my fault. Ignorance is no excuse, and I believe Miss Chi will not blame me, will she?"
A murmur had already broken out in the crowd: "It's just a name, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"
"That's right. Captain Han has never shown such disrespect to Manager Jia and Steward Jia in front of everyone before."
"These are all minor matters. Our Captain Han's girlfriend is far too stingy."
Although these words were spoken softly, everyone present was sharp-eyed and perceptive, and Liu Daniu and Lin Yi's expressions immediately turned sour.
Liu Daniu stepped forward as if to say something, but Chunli and Wang Dalong pulled him back.
Hearing the whispers of the crowd, Chi Xia looked up and smiled at Jia Jing: "I'm a bit stingy, please forgive me."
After saying that, she turned to look at Han Junche with a charming smile: "Although Miss Jia has been saying that we are all family, you shouldn't be so impolite, calling Miss Jia 'you' all the time. You should at least call her 'Sister Jia'."
Sister Jia...
Jia Jing's expression turned cold. This was a blatant reminder that she didn't look that much older than Han Junche.
Han Junche looked at Chi Xia's charming and smiling face, remained silent for a moment, and finally turned to look at Jia Jing, calling out, "Sister Jia."
The moment the words "Sister Jia" were uttered, Jia Li and Jia Jing's faces darkened visibly.
Jia Li chuckled: "I didn't expect Xiao Han to be afraid of his wife."
As soon as these words were spoken, a burst of laughter immediately erupted from the crowd.
Han Junche didn't want to linger here any longer, and looked at Jia Li, saying, "Thank you for your understanding, Uncle Jia. As for the matter of connecting the row houses..."
"This one?"
Jia Li looked somewhat troubled. He seemed to consider it for a moment before saying, "It's not impossible. You've made so many contributions to the base, so this small request must be met. I'll have the Internal Affairs Department arrange it later."
