Chapter 744: Chapter 743: Is it Sister-in-law? _1 Chapter 744: Chapter 743: Is it Sister-in-law? _1 Most people knew Ning Di, and when they saw him greeting a beautiful woman, they did not miss the chance to sneak a look. Some bold officers even stopped to inquire.
“Captain, is this your sister-in-law?”
Ning Di blushed slightly, and cleared his throat to explain, “This is our sister-in-law.”
“Sorry, we apologize to the sister-in-law.” It turned out that everyone had mistaken Nan Fei for Ning Di’s wife, and rushed to apologize as soon as they realized their mistake.
Nan Fei shook her head.
This was her first deep dive into understanding the military. Along the way, she found the young soldiers to be enthusiastic, honest, youthful, and passionate. This made her genuinely like the military.
“Captain, whose sister-in-law is this?”
With so many senior officials in the division, it was still unclear without specification. Usually, there were very few women in the army, and the occasional female soldiers were even fiercer than the men. Meeting such a beautiful girl, everyone showed unprecedented enthusiasm.
On Ning Di’s normally icy face, a rare emotional smile appeared, “The division commander’s not-yet-official wife.”
“The… division commander’s?”
“Captain Ning, why didn’t you say so earlier!”
Everyone complained for a moment, then suddenly dispersed, as if they were being chased by missiles.
Nan Fei looked stunned, completely unprepared for this reaction.
“What’s wrong?” she asked, utterly bewildered.
Ning Di said with a subtle intension, “No one dares to touch even the division commander’s car, let alone his woman.” Then, realizing that it was impolite, he scratched his head awkwardly, the embarrassment apparent on his face.
“I’m sorry, sister-in-law, I didn’t mean anything by it.”
“It’s fine! I don’t get angry that easily.” Nan Fei added after a pause, “I know you guys like to joke around, it’s normal. We girls do the same when we’re together.”
This statement left Ning Di in a daze.
Being introverted since childhood, he seldom even talked, let alone play with girls. In his eyes, girls were a very peculiar species.
He simply didn’t understand.
“Actually, this is not a joke.” Ning Di clarified, “Our boss is very territorial, everyone knew about it back in the Snow Eagle days, even Captain Tu Cheng, who didn’t get along with the boss, wouldn’t cross the line.”
As far as Huo Beijiang was concerned, his woman was off-limits.
Hence, everyone was so scared and ran away upon learning that she was the highest-ranking sister-in-law in the division.
Within a mere ten minutes, the news that the division commander’s wife had arrived had been spread by two groups of people, to the point that even the lady cleaning vegetables in the canteen knew about it.
Huo Beijiang, receiving numerous strange glances along the way, arrived at the canteen. Lu Jin, walking beside him, wanted to speak several times but eventually kept quiet, thinking about his impending doom.
He’d better play dead!
The canteen was past dinner time, and the large space seemed empty. There were some guest rooms upstairs that, despite being modest, were separate. Xi Liqun arrived with the guards and the political commissar, and they directly went up to the second floor.
Just as he stepped onto the last stair to the second floor, the bright light shed on his sculpted profile, drawing the attention of everyone on the second floor.
At the same time, everyone, whether they were on kitchen duty, on guard duty, or the guests sitting at the table waiting for dinner, was stunned.
