"Who are you looking for?"
Chiang Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Iām looking for Meng Xinian."
Meng Xinian?
The guardās eyes widened instantly. "Youāre looking for Great Officer Meng?"
"Yes."
Is there a need to be so surprised?
Chiang Xiao couldnāt help but feel a bit nervous inside.
"Youāre the girl introduced to Great Officer Meng by one of the sister-in-laws, right?" The guardās expression immediately softened, and he looked at her with a hint of curiosity.
At this point, he muttered something to himself very quietly.
Logically, Chiang Xiao shouldnāt have heard it, but her hearing was far better than the average person, so she not only heard it but understood it word for word.
"Which sister-in-law introduced her? This one is the prettiest. Great Officer Meng is really lucky; three have come in a row!"
Chiang Xiaoās expression remained unchanged, but inside, she was already loading bullets.
Three?
Great, just great.
Great Officer Meng is indeed lucky.
Busy, busy, busy here, too busy to return to the Capital to see her, and yet...
Heād better not let her walk in and see him with another woman, or else...
Chiang Xiao took another deep breath, smiled slightly, and said clearly, "No, could you please inform him that my name is Chiang Xiao, and Iām Great Officer Mengās fiancĆ©e."
"Fi-fiancƩe!"
The guard almost bit his tongue.
Chiang Xiao nodded.
"Yes, weāre getting married soon, so you could also say Iām Great Officer Mengās wife."
Chiang Xiao had thought she would be terribly embarrassed to say something like that, but now that it was out, she didnāt feel embarrassed at all.
Could it be because she was filled with fighting spirit at the moment? Burning with flames?
"Well, uh, comrade, please wait here. Iāll go inform him."
Meng Xinian came down from the training field, catching the jacket thrown by Dai Gang and quickly put it on, wiping the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, looking sour.
Dai Gang looked at him, holding back a laugh.
"Great Officer, isnāt this overkill? Youāre putting on a jacket over sweaty clothes; youāll have to wash it when you get back."
Hadnāt he always just worn a T-shirt or even gone back shirtless for a shower?
Now, he comes off the training field buttoned-up tightly.
When did he become so uptight?
Meng Xinian shot him a cold look.
"Have you suddenly become as talkative as Zhao Erleng without me noticing?"
Dai Gang immediately shut his mouth.
Great Officer might snap any minute; he didnāt want to trigger that mine.
At this moment, someone ran over and shouted, "Officer Meng! Someoneās looking for you!"
Hearing this, Meng Xinian felt like exploding.
First came Long Xiaocai, who hasnāt left yet, and then yesterday came Zhai Cuixin!
Now just hearing someone is looking for him sets his fury ablaze.
He decided to talk with those people; if they donāt restrain their wives and let those sister-in-laws keep acting recklessly, heāll resort to violence!
"Tell her to go to hell! Not seeing her!"
Meng Xinian shouted.
The messenger was stunned.
Even Dai Gang was taken aback.
Great Officer is really about to snap.
Seeing Meng Xinian rip the towel from his shoulder and storm off, Dai Gang looked at the messenger and asked quietly, "Is it another woman who came?"
The messenger nodded vigorously. "Itās a woman, and sheās quite pretty."
"Seriously? My sister-in-law is the real beauty. How could they possibly find someone prettier than my sister-in-law?"
