"I...I'm sorry, Comrade Ling," Zhou Jiuzhen said, rubbing his unruly face with one hand and clutching his stomach with the other, laughing uncontrollably. "I...I really can't imagine what I'd look like if I got angry at you, and besides, I think you're just so adorable when you're angry, Comrade Ling, I couldn't help myself..."
Seeing Zhou Jiuzhen's sudden reaction, Su Haiting, who had just been pretending to be weak and preparing to cry, was completely stunned, her eyes wide with shock, tears welling up but unable to fall.
The anger on Ling Huanwu's face gradually cracked with each laugh of his, and was replaced by clutching her chest, almost sending herself to her death.
Last night, the two of them had already discussed it. He would pretend to have broken up with her and agree to a fake marriage with Su Haiting to complete his mission. This way, he wouldn't have to be transferred and could stay here temporarily.
Ling Huanwu, on the other hand, tried to expose the true and false fiancés who had impure motives.
Previously, she and Zhou Jiuzhen had sensed that "Zhao Ergou" was not a simple person.
According to him, how could a countryman like him not have a single callus on his hands?
Moreover, today in the room at his former educated youth settlement, Ling Huanwu discovered many imported goods disguised as genuine products.
Why would someone living such a luxurious life pretend to be her childhood fiancé and appear beside her?
The only motive was that this "Zhao Ergou" wanted to get close to Zhou Jiuzhen through her.
He is a spy with impure motives.
This was also a good opportunity for her to make a contribution.
Perhaps, thanks to her achievement in capturing the spy, her marriage application with Zhou Jiuzhen could be resubmitted for approval.
As for whether Zhao Jingxiang was her real fiancé Zhao Ergou's brother, she didn't care.
Now, before the two have even finished half of their performance, Zhou Jiuzhen has already ruined it, causing all their efforts to be in vain. Ling Huanwu is so angry that she almost spits out a mouthful of blood.
"Zhou Jiuzhen, stop calling Zhao Ergou and the others dogs. I think you're the real dog. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Ling Huanwu immediately reached out and pinched Zhou Jiuzhen's face, pulling his cheeks to both sides. The flesh was stretched and bulged out, making his cheeks round and plump, just like a little pufferfish with its cheeks puffed out in anger, being held by the back of its neck.
Su Haiting, who had been unable to get a word in edgewise for a while, could see right through it all. She was so angry that she could barely stand, her hand trembling as she pointed at the two of them, her voice cracking with rage, "So, Brother Zhou, you were deliberately being so nice to me just now, and you deliberately brought me here, it was all a lie?"
"How could you do this to me? My brother saved your life. Shouldn't you be taking care of your comrade's widow, like in those folk tales, ignoring your own partner?"
Su Haiting's tears flowed like a tap being turned on, and she turned her resentful gaze to Ling Huanwu, "It's all because of you, you country bumpkin! Don't be so smug. If Brother Zhou regains his memory, he will definitely choose me!"
Seeing that the other person's finger was about to poke Ling Huanwu's face, Zhou Jiuzhen quickly pulled the person behind him.
"Comrade Su, I wanted to ask you this yesterday: why do you keep calling my Comrade Ling 'village girl sister'?"
“My Ling looks much better in her farm uniform than you, and she seems to look younger than you. How could you call her ‘sister’? You clearly look older than my Ling…”
Zhou Jiuzhen unleashed a torrent of words, which once again enraged Su Haiting so much that she staggered back a step and had to grab the table to steady herself.
"Stop talking, Zhou Jiuzhen. You clearly promised my older brother you would treat me well, so how can you belittle me like this for another woman?"
"I was born into a good family and have a government job, which will help your future. Unlike her, a capitalist's daughter, she will only be the biggest obstacle preventing you from getting promoted in your entire life..."
Su Haiting spoke each word with force and conviction; even in her extreme anger, she refused to give up.
When she saw Zhou Jiuzhen riding a horse and shooting at gunpoint, she secretly fell in love with him.
If my older brother hadn't had that accident back then, he would have brought the two of them together long ago.
She tried every means to get into the foreign trade department here, just so she could be closer to him and find him.
Heaven gave her a chance to find Zhou Jiuzhen first, and she absolutely could not let this opportunity to have him slip away so easily.
Su Haiting felt that her words were reasonable and well-founded, but Zhou Jiuzhen angrily interrupted her, "Shut up! Do you think I joined the army for promotion? If I wanted a promotion, I wouldn't have been transferred to this island!"
"Also, I promised your older brother I would take good care of you, but did I promise to marry you? I think I definitely promised to treat you like a younger sister back then, right? Comrade Ling is your sister-in-law, how can you, as her younger sister, say such things about your sister-in-law?"
"If I cannot marry Comrade Ling, I would rather take off this military uniform and become an ordinary worker so that I can continue to contribute to the country's development!"
Su Haiting was forced back several steps by his unwavering shouts. The way the man was protecting another woman stung her eyes like needles, blurring everything.
"Fine, Zhou Jiuzhen, you've treated me like this, I won't let you get away with this!"
Su Haiting completely shed her previous gentle demeanor, uttered harsh words, and rushed out.
Ling Huanwu was left dumbfounded, bewildered in the room.
"You're just going to kick her out like this? What about your transfer? I don't want to leave the island!"
Ling Huanwu pouted with a resentful look, watching Zhou Jiuzhen quickly go over and close the door, showing no tenderness towards the woman who ran out in the dark night. She couldn't help but feel both angry and amused.
Zhou Jiuzhen closed the door, then rushed over and immediately picked up the thermos to pour his wife a glass of water. "My dear Ling, don't be angry. I was wrong just now, but asking me to act and watch you get angry is like asking me to die!"
He pinched Ling Huanwu's pouting lips, making them look like a little duck, and brought the enamel cup to her lips. "Calm down, we have other ways, hmm? Hmm? Don't be angry..."
