Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Entangled by a Femme Fatale?

Having felt aggrieved at the hands of her mother and mother-in-law, Cheng Su sought solace with Qi Taiguo, which led to the soldiers in the military base catching a glimpse of a ’strawberry’ on Qi Taiguo’s neck. They snickered with innuendo, saying that Commander Qi and his sister-in-law were very affectionate, causing Commander Qi to turn into a big red-faced.

This kind of affection naturally caught the attention of others, such as Chiang Qing.

Lately, Chiang Qing was quite upset because Qi Taiguo seemed to treat her as if she were a flood or savage beast, avoiding her whenever possible and keeping his distance as if she were contagious, which was truly frustrating.

She had been treated like a princess all her life, when had she ever been subjected to such frustration?

Yet, she had encountered it with Qi Taiguo, and the feeling was somewhat sour and itchy, making her rather uncomfortable.

”Doctor Chiang? Doctor Chiang?”

”Ah?” Chiang Qing snapped back to reality, her gaze shifting away from Qi Taiguo and onto the person calling her, Deputy Battalion Commander Dong Jun.

Dong Jun, at around thirty-five or six years old, had the ability to rise to the rank of Deputy Battalion, which was quite a feat.

However, his prowess was not entirely his own, but rather due to his wife’s connections, his father-in-law reportedly being a general who had also retired this year.

After coming here, Dong Jun had shown a lot of care for her, warming to her with kind inquiries, but alas, that wasn’t what she wanted. If only...

Chiang Qing glanced again at Qi Taiguo, who was speaking with the battalion commander on the other side, turning her gaze back as she asked, ”What was it that Deputy Battalion Commander Dong said?”

Dong Jun looked at The Proud Daughter of Heaven with a smile, saying, ”Nothing much, just asking if Doctor Chiang was getting used to the place? The conditions in the staff quarters are a bit rough, if you’re not used to it, I have a small apartment in the city, you could stay there.”

Chiang Qing laughed, ”As cadres who are grounded in reality, how can we talk about getting used to or not? No matter how tough the conditions, we are here to serve the people.”

Dong Jun’s gaze twinkled, unabashedly admiring: ”I really appreciate Doctor Chiang’s attitude; clearly one could refuse to come to this harsh place, but still, you’ve come.”

Chiang Qing smiled, catching sight of Qi Taiguo standing up and heading out, and quickly said to Dong Jun, ”I’ve got something to take care of, I’m going to head out first.”

Without waiting for Dong Jun’s response, she followed after Qi Taiguo.

Dong Jun’s eyes narrowed slightly, a deep look flickering across them.

”Commander Qi, please wait.”

When Qi Taiguo heard the voice, he felt a chill breeze at the back of his neck. Turning around, he saw Chiang Qing had caught up.

And not far behind Chiang Qing, someone was watching them, it was Dong Jun.

”Doctor Chiang, what is it?”

Chiang Qing said with a smile, ”It’s nothing much, it’s just that I’m not very familiar with Jiang City, having just arrived, and I’d like to make some improvements to my quarters. So I thought about getting some things from the city. Since we both live in the same compound, I was wondering if it wouldn’t be too much trouble for you, Commander Qi, to take me on a shopping trip to Jiang City, perhaps to lend a hand as well?”

She spoke cunningly and playfully, adding, ”Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to carry things for free. How about I treat you to a meal?”

Qi Taiguo thought to himself, how did this woman ever pass the exams to become a military doctor, a prestigious profession, asking a married man to go shopping and carry things for her? Wouldn’t that lead to misunderstandings?

Suddenly, Qi Taiguo remembered what his wife had told him: beware of the femme fatale and be careful not to get entangled and unable to extricate oneself.

Looking at Chiang Qing’s face, which was smiling ever so coquettishly, Qi Taiguo also felt a smug sense of cleverness for a moment. Could it really be that she had set her sights on him?
