Chapter 855 A Selfish and Greedy Country Wife Accompanying the Army (19)

In the kitchen, Cheng Lifeng remained calm and methodically began cooking noodles.

Mu Zhou leaned against one side, staring intently at him.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, staring at the bandages faintly visible on his shoulder:

"How did it hurt?"

"It was just an accident during the exercise; I only needed a few stitches, nothing serious."

His answer was concise and to the point, and his hands didn't stop moving.

Mu Zhou pursed his lips, but in the end, he couldn't help himself:

"Are you very familiar with that female doctor?"

"Hmm?" Cheng Lifeng looked at her in confusion before realizing that she was referring to Lin Xuxiang.

He replied:

"I'm not familiar with the daughter of my former boss."

Mu Zhou stared at his expression.

He showed no sign of guilt or other emotion as he took three eggs from the basket.

After cracking the eggs into the pot, he realized that Mu Zhou was still staring at her.

"what happened?"

Mu Zhou stepped forward, tilting her head back to look directly into his eyes:

"I think you're lying to me."

"……I don't."

Although Cheng Lifeng tried to lie to her that he was not injured, he has now been found out, so he no longer lies to her.

Mu Zhou snorted:

"I don't believe it. That doctor clearly seemed to know you very well, but you said you didn't. You're obviously lying."

Mu Zhou narrowed his eyes and analyzed the situation seriously.

Faced with her questioning, Cheng Lifeng calmly turned off the stove and served two bowls of noodles:

"Eat first, then we'll interrogate you properly."

Mu Zhou's stomach growled at just the right moment, and she raised her chin:

"Okay, think of a way to explain it first, and it's best to tell the truth later."

Cheng Lifeng smiled, picked up the bowl, and went to the table.

Mu Zhou sat down, sniffed the air, and showed a satisfied expression.

The freshly served noodles were steaming hot, topped with green vegetables, and two eggs were placed on the side.

Cheng Lifeng always felt that Mu Zhou needed to nourish her body, so when he cooked, he would always add an extra egg for her.

Without any hesitation, Mu Zhou ate two eggs first before starting to eat the noodles.

The bowl of noodles was almost overflowing, but Mu Zhou couldn't finish it.

She put down her chopsticks and pushed the bowl forward.

Cheng Lifeng took it as a matter of course, finished the rest of her noodles, and then silently went to wash the dishes.

Mu Zhou sat there, rubbing his stomach to help him digest.

I don't know if it was because she ate too much pasta and got dizzy, but she soon started to feel sleepy.

She leaned against the table, propping her chin up with one hand, and tilted her head to look at Cheng Lifeng:

"Hurry up and tell me, I'm going to sleep."

After saying that, she couldn't help but yawn.

Cheng Lifeng put down the bowl in his hand and looked at her panting heavily, feeling a little itchy inside.

He sat down beside her, leaned slightly forward, and whispered:

"You ask."

The two were quite close, and Mu Zhou's breathing became slightly labored for a moment.

She blinked and stared at him:

"...Sit properly! Get your attitude straight!"

Cheng Lifeng glanced down at her reddened lips, then sat up straight again.

With the invisible sense of aggression gone, Mu Zhou then said:

"I've heard some gossip."

She told him what she had overheard from the compound.

Cheng Lifeng slowly frowned:

"Blind date?"

After a few seconds of silence, he pulled up a past conversation.

"Lifeng, you're not getting any younger, you should find a wife. How about I introduce you to someone, your old boss's daughter..."

"Thank you, no need, I don't have time."

"No, please meet him. How about this, you meet him once, and if he still doesn't agree after meeting him, then forget it, okay?"

"No."

When it comes to blind dates, this is the only dialogue in his mind.

He didn't even realize who the old leader's daughter was, as the leader had mentioned.

If Mu Zhou hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have thought about it in detail.

He never actually met the person he was supposed to meet.

What he didn't know was that Lin Xuxiang happened to be on a mission at that time, which is why the commander didn't mention it again. Later, Mu Zhou came.

Mu Zhou yawned again after hearing this:

"Okay, I understand. I'll go back to sleep now."

At that moment, all she wanted to do was lie in bed and sleep.

Cheng Lifeng watched as her door closed, his tightly furrowed brows remaining furrowed.

He had no idea that rumors were circulating outside about his blind date with Lin Xuxiang.

The next day, he went to see Commander Xu.

Commander Xu's wife was the most gossipy person in the compound; she knew everything that happened in everyone's family.

She's also the one who loves to spread rumors regardless of whether they're true or false.

Without even thinking, he knew that Mu Zhou must have overheard her gossiping behind his back.

So Cheng Lifeng went directly to Commander Xu.

Although the two were not very familiar with each other, they had crossed paths before.

Commander Xu was somewhat surprised to see him, but after hearing his purpose, his expression became much more serious, and he cursed inwardly that his wife had caused trouble again.

"Commander Xu, I don't want these rumors that damage the image of soldiers to continue to spread, nor do I want my wife to have any resentment because of this. Please understand."

He spoke politely, but his expression was unusually cold, and anyone could see his dissatisfaction.

Commander Xu naturally gave his assurances repeatedly.

When he got home, he had a big fight with his wife and forced her to explain to people.

His wife felt wronged and didn't want to go.

"What's wrong with Battalion Commander Cheng? He's even standing up for that country woman. Doesn't he dislike her?"

Commander Xu waved his hand impatiently:

"Alright, that couple has a great relationship. If you keep talking nonsense, you can go back to your hometown."

His wife was frightened when she heard that.

Commander Xu was still worried and gave a few more instructions.

Insider information suggests that Cheng Lifeng will soon be promoted to the same rank as him.

He's so young, with a limitless future. Commander Xu doesn't want to have another high-ranking enemy for no reason.

So he repeatedly told his wife not to gossip anymore.

Mu Zhou was unaware of any of this.

She suddenly realized that the way people were looking at her today was a little strange.

Neighbor Sister Zhang overheard these things and couldn't help but tell Mu Zhou.

"Your Battalion Commander Cheng is really protecting you; he actually went and warned Regiment Commander Xu because of the rumors."

Strike the snake at its vital spot; Sister Xu's mouth never lets anyone off the hook, except for her husband.

Now she'll have to behave herself for a while.

Seeing Mu Zhou's wide-eyed surprise, Sister Zhang nudged her and teased:

"They're just envious and jealous of you."

The men in the compound were almost all very chauvinistic, and I've never heard of any man getting involved in the women's quarrels.

I've always avoided it like the plague.

It's unbelievable that Cheng Lifeng, who seems to be the most chauvinistic and aloof man, is actually the most protective of his wife.

Mu Zhou was delighted to hear this. As the two were talking, they saw Cheng Lifeng return.

After saying goodbye, Sister Zhang went home.

Cheng Lifeng changed out of his coat and washed his hands with cold water. When he turned around, he found Mu Zhou following him closely.

"what happened?"

Mu Zhou shook his head, unable to suppress a smile even as he pursed his lips.

She beckoned him closer.

Cheng Lifeng obediently bowed.

Before he could react, Mu Zhou suddenly tiptoed and kissed his cheek.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her smile was radiant.

"It's your reward."

After saying that, she turned around and ran into the inner room as if she were shy.

Cheng Lifeng remained bent over, completely frozen like a stone sculpture.

I couldn't recover for a long time.

The spot where she kissed me felt faintly hot.

He caught a glimpse of the teeth marks on his wrist out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes darkened to a chilling degree.
