Chapter 1737: Chapter 1144: Reproach

First watch.

------------------------

Zhao Qiliang wanted to say "What serious business could you possibly have," but when the words reached his lips he swallowed them again. After all, the Ye Meiru standing here now was very different from the one in the past, and he really couldn’t be sure whether she’d come to stir up trouble or if she actually had something proper to do.

The past between Zhou Mikang and Ye Meiru had happened so many years ago. Other than Zhou Hanliang, Zhao Qiliang, Luan Dajiang, and Luo Hongqi, there really wasn’t anyone else who knew about it.

So when he saw Zhao Qiliang’s attitude toward Ye Meiru, Zhang Ping was a bit surprised. Then he understood: the two of them had just been talking about the girlfriend and ex-girlfriend issue, which meant this woman was naturally the Division Commander’s ex-girlfriend.

Once Ye Meiru had walked off, Zhang Ping, adhering to the principle of fairness, explained to Zhao Qiliang: "I don’t know what exactly happened in the past between Comrade Ye and the Division Commander, but every time she comes to see him, she really keeps it businesslike. She doesn’t show those obvious intentions like some female soldiers do."

"That’s because she already knows that no matter how obvious she makes her intentions, the Division Commander won’t spare her a second glance, and he definitely won’t get tangled up in anything with her. But that doesn’t mean she has no designs on him.

To achieve her goal, she kept causing trouble for my cousin and framing her. If it weren’t for the fact that she’s got a lot of friends around her and a bit of luck, who knows how big a loss she would’ve taken.

In short, no matter what she turns into, I won’t have the slightest bit of respect for her..." Zhao Qiliang looked seriously at Zhang Ping. "Even if you think I’m petty because of this, I’m sticking to my view."

"Listen to yourself, how could I think you’re petty?" Zhang Ping shook his head helplessly. "As an older cousin, it’s normal to protect your cousin when she’s been hurt.

Besides, the fact that you’re willing to tell me this means you trust me. Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, if she has any bad intentions, I’ll report to your wife in advance."

"Thanks..." Once he realized Zhang Ping understood why he was saying all this, Zhao Qiliang felt grateful and a bit embarrassed, scratching his head with a sheepish grin. "I wasn’t trying to beat around the bush on purpose, I just figured I had to let you know a bit of the situation so you can make your own judgment.

Mainly, I don’t want you to think I’m using the fact that my cousin is the Division Commander’s Wife to force you to pick a side. And this is all my own thinking; it has nothing to do with my cousin."

"Got it, look at how cautious you’re being..." Zhang Ping shook his head helplessly. "Good thing we’ve known each other long enough that I understand your temperament. Otherwise, if you hadn’t explained it’d be fine, but with you explaining so much, I really might’ve started thinking along the lines you just mentioned, haha..."

Zhao Qiliang’s face darkened; he honestly didn’t know what to say.

"I’m joking, don’t take it to heart." Zhang Ping put away his smile and looked at him solemnly. "Whether you said it or not, I’d still block those women with ulterior motives as much as I can.

Why did the Division Commander transfer me here? Precisely because I’m willing to thicken my skin and do this kind of thing. If every one of them had to be handled by the Division Commander himself, what would he need me for?

When it’s about official business, of course I won’t stand in the way or meddle. But if they’re running over here day after day because of some crooked thoughts, then they can’t blame me for being rude.

Actually, before the Division Commander’s Wife came, I’d already blocked quite a few people for him. If you don’t believe me, go ask around at the medical unit and see how many people hate me so much their teeth itch.

It’s not that I’m heartless. This one brings something tasty, that one brings something useful—how am I supposed to know what they’re really up to, or whether they slipped something extra into those snacks?

I’m not being paranoid; it’s just that some people really will stop at nothing to get what they want. I figure they’re probably dying to get me transferred out as soon as possible.

And besides, if I dared to date someone within our system, those people would absolutely make sure every woman I found ended up ruined, one after another. So what? This is my job. My conscience is clear!"

While the two outside were chatting away warmly, the little couple inside were just as lovey-dovey, wrapped in each other’s arms for a long while. Chuxia pushed the Division Commander’s chest: "If we keep holed up in the tent like this, tomorrow’s gossip will drown us. Go open the door."

"You’re my wife. Let them say whatever they want..." After finally getting the little wife he’d been thinking about day and night into his arms, how could the Division Commander bear to let go so easily? Acting shameless, he buried his head against his wife’s full chest. "Let me hold you a bit longer."
