Chapter Forty-Six

How can one describe Ye Anguo and Jiang Lai's newlywed life? Even "honeymoon bliss" doesn't quite capture it.

Or perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe Ye Anguo's situation as an old house catching fire.

Jiang Lai even regretted releasing the secret space. Otherwise, the man's stamina wouldn't be so good. He had a great time, but it was really exhausting. Eating such a gluttonous feast was too hard on the back.

Jiang Lai was upset, but Ye Anguo was content, feeling that he wouldn't trade his current life for even a god.

Ye Anguo's only complaint right now is about Kang Xiaoxiao. The couple was enjoying a blissful time together when Kang Xiaoxiao showed up at their door early in the morning.

"Jiang Lai, do you want to come with me to the market? I heard you can buy watermelons there." Kang@Xiaoxiao shouted loudly from outside the courtyard.

Jiang Lai fought with Ye Anguo, the devil, until very late last night. If she were sleeping soundly and unaware of the time, Kang Xiaoxiao's loud shouts would now sound like soothing music.

“Sister-in-law, Jiang Lai is still resting, and we have other plans for today, so she won’t be going to the market with you.” Afraid that Kang Xiaoxiao’s voice would wake Jiang Lai, Ye Anguo came out immediately.

He smiled on the outside, but was secretly annoyed: This Yao Jianwei is really something. It seems his training is inadequate, allowing Kang Xiaoxiao to disturb his sleep so early in the morning. He'll increase the amount of training for him later.

"Ah, Jiang Lai hasn't woken up yet? What's going on with you today? I'll go with her." Kang Xiaoxiao frowned, completely oblivious to Ye Anguo's implied meaning.

Ye Anguo frowned. Was Kang Xiaoxiao really stupid or just pretending? Couldn't she see that she was bothering them?

"Sister-in-law, we've been on the train for several days and nights, and we're exhausted. Let's talk about the rest in a few days after Jiang Lai has rested." Whether she's genuinely naive or pretending, Ye Anguo is straightforward and doesn't believe she wouldn't understand after he's said so.

Kang Xiaoxiao was certainly not that tactless. She was a straightforward person and didn't realize it at first, but now that Ye Anguo had spoken so bluntly, she would be really stupid if she still didn't understand.

"Sorry, sorry, I was just so happy to see Jiang Lai that I forgot you arrived yesterday."

Kang Xiaoxiao's inner monologue: No way, of course she knew Jiang Lai only arrived yesterday, but she's already rested for a night.

Kang Xiaoxiao put herself in others' shoes. She herself didn't have any problems with motion sickness. She and Yao Jianwei had also been on the train for a long time, but she didn't need to rest. That afternoon, she followed the sisters-in-law who had come earlier and wandered around, getting a good feel for the surrounding environment.

Kang Xiaoxiao mentally grumbled a few words, thinking Ye Anguo was being overly cautious; Jiang Lai wasn't Lin Daiyu... uh...

Kang Xiaoxiao stopped laughing halfway through her rant. She had initially been joking that Ye Anguo was being too cautious with Jiang Lai, but then she suddenly remembered that Jiang Lai did indeed have the nickname "Little Sister Jiang" back in their school days because she was frequently sick and often took sick leave.

Jiang Lai was beautiful but sickly, so everyone called her the Lin Daiyu of the school. However, "Dream of the Red Chamber" was a forbidden book, and being caught would implicate the whole family. Therefore, everyone called Jiang Lai "Sister Jiang" because Jiang Lai was in poor health and everyone took care of her like a younger sister.

At this moment, Kang Xiaoxiao regained her senses. She thought about Jiang Lai's poor health and recalled Ye Anguo's expression earlier, and realized that something was wrong.

Oh no!!! Kang Xiaoxiao's smiling face turned into a bitter face. At this moment, Kang Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered what her mother had told her before she went to the military camp: not to meddle in other people's business in the family compound, not to spread rumors about other people's families, and not to talk about things she didn't know, otherwise it would affect her son-in-law's future.

To make sure Kang Xiaoxiao remembered it, he specifically told her many negative examples, such as how a certain person loved to meddle in everything, and dared to get involved in anything if someone egged him on. As a result, he was used by spies, which not only ruined the man's future but also turned him into a labor camp prisoner.

There are also people who, because they can't control their mouths and talk too much, end up being accused of spreading rumors. Their bosses think that if their husbands can't even manage their wives, how can they be competent for their leadership roles? In the end, their husbands have to change careers and can't even get a good job; they can only become ordinary workers.

Kang Xiaoxiao kept this in mind and tried to stay home as much as possible these past few days, fearing that the situation in the family compound was too complicated and that she might offend someone if she didn't know the depths.

That's why Kang Xiaoxiao was so happy for Jiang Lai, and that's why she came to disturb her sleep so early in the morning.

Kang couldn't laugh. She chuckled: Oh no, this Ye Anguo seems to be her husband's direct superior? Would she offend him because of this? Would he make things difficult for her husband?

Kang Xiaoxiao went home with a bitter face.

Just then, Yao Jianwei came out of the kitchen with breakfast. He saw that Kang Xiaoxiao, who had just left in high spirits, looked wilted and dejected, her smiling face all scrunched up like a bitter gourd.

"What's wrong? Why are you giving me bitter melon so early in the morning?" Yao Jianwei pinched his wife's cheek and said affectionately.

Kang Xiaoxiao quickly recounted what had just happened to Yao Jianwei, then said worriedly, "Jianwei, I didn't offend him because of this, did I? Will he make things difficult for you? I'm doomed, will it affect your future? My mom will kill me if she finds out. Before I came to join the army, she repeatedly told me to be careful and not offend anyone..."

Yao Jianwei quickly interrupted Kang Xiaoxiao's worries: "Don't worry at all, the regimental commander isn't that petty."

“But he really didn’t look well just now. If he didn’t mind, why did he look so bad?” Kang Xiaoxiao still had a bitter face, thinking that Yao Jianwei’s words of comfort were just to put her mind at ease.

"Are you stupid? Do you remember when the regimental commander got married?" Yao Jianwei tapped Kang Xiaoxiao's head and asked.

"I know, August 4th, the 14th day of the sixth lunar month." Kang Xiaoxiao looked bewildered, wondering how Yao Jianwei had steered the conversation to this topic.

"So what day is it today?" Yao Jianwei continued to ask.

"August 8th?" Kang Xiaoxiao was even more confused.

"Don't you think about how they took the train on the night of the 4th and only arrived at the family compound yesterday morning? Last night was the regimental commander's wedding night. You went to disturb their sleep first thing this morning, and the regimental commander only gave you a little attitude, which was already quite lenient. Besides, are you sure your good classmate, my regimental commander's wife, can get out of bed right now?"

Yao Jianwei leaned closer to Kang Xiaoxiao and whispered, "Just think about whether we'll be able to get up on the second day of our marriage. The regimental commander is much better than me, and he's already quite old to have a wife. With all that passion going on, he'll definitely be pushing hard..."

Kang Xiaoxiao blushed instantly. Yao Jianwei's second half of his words was completely wasted. However, Kang Xiaoxiao finally understood why Ye Anguo had disliked her earlier.

Kang Xiaoxiao blushed with embarrassment, while Jiang Lai slept soundly under the covers. When Ye Anguo tried to wake her for breakfast, he was accidentally slapped by Jiang Lai in her sleep, but ultimately failed.

Jiang Lai: ...

Jiang Lai knew nothing; all she knew was that an annoying mosquito was buzzing in her ear, which she slapped dead.
