So, it seemed like everyone suddenly realized that Goddess Jane wasnât just pulling their legs.
"Lieutenant Johnson, Goddess Jane, she really is our sister-in-law?" a team member asked, unable to let it go, clutching tightly at the teammate next to him.
His expression was one of utter despair, almost on the verge of tears.
"Is there a problem?" Lieutenant Johnson retorted, "Whatâs with that look on your face?"
"Did the Chief and you tell us that?" the team member pressed on.
"I donât need the Chief to tell me, wouldnât I know myself? I was fully in charge of this showâs recording, and as the person reviewing the audit information, would I not know these peopleâs backgrounds?" Lieutenant Johnson couldnât hold back and scoffed, "Are you an idiot?"
The teammates understood thenâthat Lieutenant Johnson had known from the start that their Goddess Jane was the Chiefâs wife.
So, this matter was truly undeniable and indeed, wouldnât change.
Looking at Jane Sampson with a smile on her face, for some reason, they felt that perhaps Goddess Jane was forcing a smile. After all, being married to their Chief, such a boring man, her marital life must be really dull and uninteresting, right?
Especially since the Chief was hardly ever home, leaving their Goddess Jane at home all aloneâit was just too much!
"Goddess Jane, weâre sorry, we misunderstood you," John River was the first to stand up, scratching his head and apologizing awkwardly, "I accidentally saw you kissing the Chief on the mountain, so I thought you two were in that kind of relationship. Thankfully, youâre not that kind of person."
But why did he now feel inexplicably heartbroken for his Goddess Jane?
"Goddess Jane really is our generalâs wife! Sheâs our sister-in-law!" another team member who was slow to catch on finally snapped back to reality. The sad and disappointed look on his face slowly crumbled away, replaced by an ecstatic joy.
"Goddess Jane is our sister-in-law, yay! Goddess Jane is our sister-in-law, yay!" That team member, acting like a fool, hugged his teammate next to him and laughed, "Weâre so close to a star! Iâm so excited, what to do, so excited!"
Team Member A struggled for a long time before finally mustering up a sentence, "Goddess Jane, you have it tough!"
Jane Sampson couldnât help but laugh at everyoneâs reactions, then nodded and conceded, "It is a bit tough."
James Black glanced at Jane Sampson, who promptly reined in her laughter and waved her hand, "Not tough, not tough at all."
In her ears was the sound of James Blackâs low hum. Jane Sampson turned her head away from James Black and slipped her hands into her pockets, gently squeezing the fruits in her pocket.
Humph, wouldnât even let her speak the truth.
She still had that 1,000-word self-criticism report over there, how could it not be tough?
"What are you all still doing here? Not planning to rest tonight?" James Blackâs patience finally wore thin, and he asked in a slightly cold tone, "If you canât sleep, I could give you..."
"No need!" John River quickly interrupted James Black, "Chief, sir! Weâre leaving now!"
After speaking, John River winked at Jane Sampson and turned tail to run.
Just joking, waiting for the Chief to make arrangements, they wouldnât get to rest all night!
The man was like a devil; best not to provoke him.
Everyone scattered, and only a few lingered for a while longer until only one young team member was left. When he was finally alone, he approached Jane Sampson and quietly made a request, "Goddess Jane, may I shake your hand?"
Jane Sampson nodded and answered, "Sure."
