As soon as Qin Jian entered, he caught sight of two hands that were just about to clasp together. He coughed lightly and cast an amused glance at Tian Niu.
"Staff Officer! Sister-in-law! What brings you two over here?"
Seeing Tian Niu’s surprised expression, Gu Shuangshuang could not help but despise him, "Didn’t you think that without the Staff Officer bringing me, I wouldn’t have been able to enter your camp’s gates on my own?"
"Right, right, right!" Tian Niu scratched his head and chuckled foolishly, "How could I have forgotten that! Stupid! Stupid!"
"I suppose you were just too happy and lost your head?" Qin Jian teased him, smiling.
"Heh heh!" Tian Niu laughed, "Yeah, guess so. I never imagined I’d one day find such a fine wife! Beautiful and cultured too! Just as well I stubbornly refused the marriage match my family wanted to introduce. Otherwise, my mom really wanted me to marry fat Cuihua."
"Why is that?" Gu Shuangshuang asked him, smiling, "I’ve heard that everyone in the village wants to find a plump wife. They say a plump wife brings wealth to the family! That she’s bound to be blessed! Why didn’t you appreciate your mom’s kind intentions?"
"You haven’t seen her. Cuihua is so plump, with a butt as big as a grinding plate!" Tian Niu exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"Having a big butt is good for childbearing!" Gu Shuangshuang said offhandedly.
Tian Niu’s gaze swept over Gu Shuangshuang, and he said with ill intent, "I think you’ll definitely be good at childbearing in the future too!"
"Pah!" Gu Shuangshuang raised her hand and gave him a slap, "Where are those beady eyes of yours looking at?"
Scolded by Gu Shuangshuang, Tian Niu laughed sheepishly with embarrassment.
Looking at his simple and honest appearance, Gu Shuangshuang couldn’t help but laugh. She glanced at Qin Jian, "Staff Officer, have you ever seen a camp commander as out of tune as him? Feels like he’s worlds apart from when you were a camp commander!"
"It’s because he’s worlds apart that you took a fancy to me!" Tian Niu felt exceptionally good about himself at the moment.
Seeing his smug look, Gu Shuangshuang couldn’t resist the urge to put him down, "Don’t get too full of yourself; the first person I had my eye on was the Staff Officer!"
An Hao saw Gu Shuangshuang spouting nonsense and quickly cut her off, "Stop spouting rubbish! Who doesn’t know you’ve been mentioning Camp Commander Tian non-stop in front of me! My ears are practically calloused from listening."
A seemingly offhand remark from Gu Shuangshuang triggered a deep-seated worry in Tian Niu’s heart.
He wasn’t confident in his own looks, and he truly felt it was a miracle that Gu Shuangshuang had taken a liking to him.
Now, hearing Gu Shuangshuang’s words, a seed of doubt planted itself in Tian Niu’s mind.
The Staff Officer was known among the female soldiers as the ’Jade-Faced King of Hell,’ which speaks volumes about his exceptional appearance.
It wasn’t entirely impossible for Gu Shuangshuang to like him.
An Hao saw that Tian Niu seemed a bit off and quickly helped Gu Shuangshuang to recover, "Don’t listen to her nonsense! Camp Commander Tian, think about it, I’m not an idiot! Why would I be willing to befriend a woman who has her eyes on my man? Wouldn’t that be like inviting a wolf into the house?"
Tian Niu thought for a moment, "What you said makes a lot of sense."
After he spoke, he added for himself, "Even if she said she used to like the Staff Officer, I’m not worried. First, I trust the Staff Officer’s character. And second, I’m convinced that after marrying Shuangshuang, I will definitely make her happy!"
"That’s good," An Hao sighed with relief.
Having brought Gu Shuangshuang over and seen the two reconciled, it was time for An Hao and Qin Jian to head back.
