Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her!

Chapter 220: Laughing to the Point That His Stomach Hurt; Standing Up To Stretch

The two, who were conversing, turned to look at her at the same time.

Gu Qingjiu looked at Nan Yingxuan. “I think it might be better if Doctor Nan didn’t hear this question...”

Gu Qingjiu was afraid that it would become life-threatening.

It amused Nan Yingxuan. “Oh? What is it I shouldn’t hear?”

He Niancheng frowned slightly, and his expression showed his displeasure. “Doctor Nan is not an outsider. What shameless question do you have, ask.”

“...”

Well, he asked for it.

If something happened later, Gu Qingjiu felt that they shouldn’t put the blame on her.

She paused before she plucked up the courage to ask what she had been dying to ask. “Chief Instructor, are you and Commander Huo a pair?”

“...”

“...”

A deadly silence engulfed the entire infirmary.

Nan Yingxuan probably heard it wrong.

Hence, he actually considered the question seriously for three seconds. It wasn’t that long until he realized that he heard it right⁠—Gu Qingjiu did ask that.

With his head lowered, his shoulders started trembling.

He didn’t dare to raise his head, afraid that He Niancheng would see the laughter in his face at his plight.

He Niancheng probably took a while to process those words. When he finally did, his face turned green.

When Gu Qingjiu saw He Niancheng’s glare at her which seemed like he wanted to swallow her up, she felt guilty.

The temperature in the room dropped drastically as if someone opened a freezer door.

It was so cold it made people shiver.

Gu Qingjiu could hear He Niancheng gritting his teeth as he forced out a sentence. “Who did you hear this from?”

“...”

Gu Qingjiu suddenly realized that her judgment might be wrong.

If she said it was her own idea, she would probably face some sort of torture.

Which was why she shrunk and replied softly, “I... I heard it from someone else. I forgot who it was...”

And she knew she had to make her answer a dead end so He Niancheng wouldn’t probe more.

Nan Yingxuan laughed so much he couldn’t even stand straight.

He Niancheng’s expression darkened. “Is that the so? They better not let me know who started that rumor.”

Hearing that, Gu Qingjiu’s heart trembled for her future seemed dim.

He Niancheng’s huge reaction proved that her speculations were wrong.

And such speculation made Gu Qingjiu panic a little.

He Niancheng and Huo Yingcheng were always together. In the army, you would almost never see one without the other. That was what everyone knew.

Furthermore, Huo Yingcheng was like a nanny to He Niancheng, always serving him attentively. Who wouldn’t think that they are a pair?

She had seen this numerous times in her previous life, so this only made her speculate further.

And deep down, many people felt the same way.

But that didn’t affect He Niancheng’s popularity amongst girls.

“I thought you were the sort of person who wouldn’t listen to such rumors, but now you’re making me rethink my judgment of you.”

Gu Qingjiu kept quiet before smiling awkwardly. “Actually, Chief Instructor, it’s not that I believed the rumor. But you have to know that gossiping is in human nature...”

He Niancheng’s expression darkened further.

It caused Gu Qingjiu to immediately shut up.

Nan Yingxuan suddenly stood up, his hands supporting his stomach.

He Niancheng’s eyes were as dark as deep waters. “What are you doing?”

Nan Yingxuan tilted his head, but he didn’t look at He Niancheng. He poured a cup of water from the water dispenser at the side. He then replied, “My tummy hurts too much from laughing, so I’m standing to stretch it a little.”

“...”
