Sang Qing’s head was still spinning.
After hearing Lu Qiance’s question, the only thing left in her mind was how, in the novel, the heroine constantly used Sang Qing’s spoiled personality to gain Lu Qiance’s attention.
Without thinking, she blurted out,
“Jiang Mengmeng… that awful woman…”
Lu Qiance: “???”
Jiang Mengmeng?
If he remembered correctly, Sang Qing had never interacted with her before.
For Sang Qing’s safety, he had long ago investigated every family living in the nearby alleys.
The only reason Jiang Mengmeng had left any impression on him was because her family had been making quite a scene lately.
He’d heard there had been arguments over splitting the family and that they were even selling braised pig intestines.
Just from those reports, Jiang Mengmeng struck him as someone with deep schemes.
He didn’t know when she’d managed to get close to Sang Qing.
But if she had already driven his wife to the point of wanting a divorce, then she was definitely no good.
The entire Jiang family was rotten to the core.
How could good bamboo shoots possibly grow from rotten bamboo?
Jiang Mengmeng wanted to break away from the Jiang family and escape poverty?
Dream on.
Thinking this, Lu Qiance rubbed the tip of his nose against Sang Qing’s neck and clung to her affectionately.
“Wife, it’s all my fault.”
“I won’t let them speak badly about you anymore.”
“Let me make it up to you, alright?”
He buried his face even deeper against her neck.
“Today… I’ll make sure to serve you well.”
“Hm?”
Sang Qing snapped back to reality and pushed at his head.
It didn’t budge.
Frowning, she grabbed the hair at the back of his head and forcefully pulled him up.
Hmm…
This Great Strength Pill doesn’t seem all that impressive.
She shot him a glance before saying,
“Since you admit you were wrong, then to make it up to me…”
“You’ll agree to anything I ask, right?”
“Except divorce.”
The darkness in Lu Qiance’s eyes surged instantly.
The hand gripping her slender waist tightened unconsciously.
Without hesitation, Sang Qing leaned forward and bit his chin.
Rolling her eyes, she huffed,
“I think you’re the one who wants a divorce.”
Looking at her adorably spoiled expression, the darkness in Lu Qiance’s eyes gradually receded.
Smiling, he tugged open his collar.
“Be good.”
“Bite here instead.”
“No one will see it.”
Sang Qing glanced at the two little bloody bite marks already visible there.
For a moment, she felt a little guilty.
Had she really bitten that hard earlier?
Pressing her lips together, she turned her face away.
“I’m not letting you off that easily.”
“I haven’t even told you my condition yet.”
Lu Qiance’s brows lifted slightly.
A trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
What a pity.
His wife wasn’t going to bite him anymore.
But the disappointment vanished almost immediately.
Looking at her again, he asked gently,
“So what is it you want, Wife?”
Meeting his gaze, Sang Qing hesitated briefly before speaking.
“I want to accompany you to your military posting.”
She knew that in just a few days, Lu Qiance would be leaving.
He had come to Hongqi Town because of an assignment.
After she had schemed to marry him, he’d immediately submitted a marriage report.
The military hadn’t given him much leave.
He would be returning soon.
Lu Qiance was visibly stunned.
He was so happy he almost lost his mind.
He’d always wished he could tuck her into his pocket and carry her everywhere he went.
But his wife had been delicate and stubborn.
She’d insisted on staying behind, so no matter how much he wanted to bring her with him, he’d had no choice but to let her stay.
And now…
She was actually asking to accompany him?
His heart was practically exploding with excitement.
Yet outwardly, he remained perfectly calm.
“So you’ve changed your mind?”
“You know that once I submit the application for family accompaniment…”
“If you change your mind afterward…”
“It’ll be too late.”
His fingers casually stroked her fingertips.
But his eyes never left her face.
He was afraid of missing even the slightest change in her expression.
Sang Qing poked him unhappily.
“What?”
“You don’t want me to go?”
“Do you already have someone in the army?”
“Is that why you don’t dare let me come?”
Lu Qiance almost laughed out loud at her turning the tables on him.
“You…”
He lovingly pinched her cheek.
“Did you forget?”
“When I wanted you to come with me before, you were the one who firmly refused.”
“That’s why I asked why you’d changed your mind.”
“Is it because you’ve completely fallen out with the Sang family?”
If he had known that severing her ties with the Sang family would convince her to come with him…
He would have done it ages ago.
Sang Qing blinked guiltily.
She couldn’t exactly tell him that she knew the future.
That if she stayed in Hongqi Town, she’d become the stepping stone for Jiang Mengmeng to get close to him.
Since the topic had already turned to the Sang family…
She didn’t mind poisoning Lu Qiance’s opinion of them a little more.
In the novel, those three had constantly slandered her in front of Lu Qiance.
“Chu Lanhua told me that if I followed you to the army, you’d bully me because my family wouldn’t be around to protect me.”
“And she said that since you’re a soldier…”
“You’d probably beat your wife.”
Sang Qing spoke without the slightest pause.
“Old Man Sang said you only married me because I’m pretty.”
“And once you got tired of me, you’d divorce me.”
“And then there’s Sang Yanyan…”
She shot Lu Qiance a resentful look before muttering,
“She’s been waiting for you, her brother-in-law, to divorce me so she can marry you.”
She wasn’t falsely accusing them.
Every single one of those things had happened in the novel.
Lu Qiance: “…”
Never in his life had he been so speechless.
He had thought that once he’d successfully married his wife, his position was secure.
Who would have guessed that there wasn’t a single decent person around her?
He had almost lost his wife without even realizing it.
“Wife, I’ve been wronged.”
“I’m a soldier.”
“How could I ever hit my wife?”
“If anyone’s doing the hitting, it should be you hitting me.”
“You can hit me whenever you want.”
As he spoke, he placed her little hand against his own cheek, looking completely willing to let her do whatever she pleased.
As for getting tired of her…
He knew that would never happen.
Since childhood, Lu Qiance had known he was different from other children.
His possessiveness toward anything he claimed as his own was frighteningly strong.
Once something belonged to him…
It would belong to him for life.
Especially someone like Sang Qing.
All it took was one glance from those watery peach blossom eyes…
And he’d willingly die at her feet.
He wanted nothing more than to keep her in his arms every single day.
He wanted her looking up at him with tear-filled eyes, acting spoiled and softly pleading with him…
The mere thought of it sent tingles racing from his scalp all the way down his spine.
Long before he met Sang Qing, Lu Qiance had never considered himself a kind man.
In his world, there were only battlefields and missions.
Anyone who dared scheme against him…
He would repay a hundredfold.
And now they had dared scheme against his wife.
Since they had the courage to think such thoughts…
They’d better have the courage to bear his wrath.
He would make sure that entire family would never recover.
“So?”
Sang Qing seized the opportunity to ask again.
“Are you going to let me accompany you to your military posting or not?”
Her small hand clutched the front of his shirt.
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes stared unblinkingly into his.
Her lovely little face carried an unmistakable warning.
As though if he dared say no…
She would make him regret it immediately.
