Chapter 11

The farce ended quickly before it even started because of Li Fengbei’s domineering protection of his wife.

But the aftermath of the farce did not end there.

Just after Li Fengbei and Qiao Anle walked away.

On the small path beside the field, there was a burst of crying and shouting for one’s parents.

Wang Guifang’s man pulled out the belt from his waist, raised his strong arms high, and hit her hard.

“You stinky bitch, I’ve told you so many times to stop gossiping behind others’ backs, but you just won’t listen! I’ll let you gossip about others everywhere!”

“You are getting bolder and bolder! It’s ok to say it in private, but you dare to say it in front of Captain Li!”

“You are really rebellious! I think you are really rebellious! You have offended Captain Li. Do you think you can live well at home in the future?”

Men who have served in the military are full of strength and can be particularly scary when they get angry.

Of course Wang Guifang would not accept being beaten docilely.

Before the whipping belt could swing down, she began to run away.

“I… I’m not gossiping… I’m telling the truth… The things about the grove were all told to me by Sun Xiangxiang herself… How could it be false?… Oh my god! Oh my god, you actually dared to hit me… I’m dying… I’m dying… You hit someone… Someone’s going to die…”

Wang Guifang is not only good at talking, but she has not changed her bad habits until now.

She is even more skilled at crying for help.

After a while.

A group of more than a dozen people started to make a lot of noise.

Some people went up to stop the fight, but they couldn’t just watch a man beat a woman.

There are also people who have always disliked Wang Guifang’s mouth.

The man added insult to injury and said coldly, “Wang Guifang, I think you should learn a lesson. If you know the pain, you won’t make the same mistake next time.”

As everyone pulled, dust flew everywhere.

It really turned into a ridiculous farce.

…

Qiao Anle doesn’t have the time to care about the people behind him.

She was feeling the breath of the man beside her, as well as the constant flow of heat coming from Li Fengbei’s palm.

The man has big hands and long fingers.

There are calluses on the palms from holding guns and doing work.

Rough, dry, yet reassuring.

Qiao Anle looked down at their hands tightly held together and felt extremely happy.

Her subtle movements caught Li Fengbei’s attention.

The man asked in a low voice, “Did I hurt you?”

He was very strong and sometimes he didn’t know how hard he hit her, for fear of leaving some unsightly red marks on Qiao Anle’s fair skin.

Qiao Anle smiled and shook her head, “No, I like holding your hand.”

The breeze from the fields blew across her face, gently ruffling the strands of hair beside Qiao Anle’s cheek.

The soft hair is flying leisurely in the air.

Sometimes he stroked Qiao Anle’s fair face, and sometimes he stroked her rosy and slightly upturned lips.

Grind gently.

Suddenly.

The kiss they had when they left home in the morning flashed through Li Fengbei’s mind.

The soft touch of red lips carries a subtle fragrance that belongs to a woman.

Very short.

But it makes people’s hearts beat faster and leaves a long aftertaste.

The side of his face and jaw felt numb for a long time.

Just like Qiao Anran, the ripples that appeared in his heart.

Circle after circle, it lasts for a long time.

Li Fengbei’s chest was beating violently and his throat was dry, but he didn’t know what to say.

The black eyes were filled with a gentleness and tenderness that could drown a person.

Qiao Anle stared at her and smiled tenderly.

The look in the young couple’s eyes was so affectionate that it could be seen, but someone came over without being tactful.

“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, let me tell you something.”

Fang Cheng’s face was full of smiles. He approached Qiao Anle happily, and made some expressions while talking to her.

He is young.

He is just a dull young man who has no sense of romance.

Fortunately, Qiao Anle was not angry with him.

Qiao Anle turned his head to look at Fang Cheng and said, “Go ahead and talk. I’m listening.”

“Sister-in-law, the captain and I were busy harvesting rice just now, and someone came over to say that you were working on the fields. The captain was so anxious… He immediately dropped his sickle and ran over here! I’ve never seen the captain so panicked for anyone!”

Fang Cheng spoke with great excitement and his voice was full of joy.

When Qiao Anle heard this, his narrow eyebrows also raised up.

The bright and clear eyes become full of charm.

His eyes moved and looked at the person involved – Li Fengbei.

Li Fengbei obviously didn’t expect that he would be “betrayed” by his most loyal younger brother.

The previous calmness on his handsome face was broken, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his expression.

This made Qiao Anle laugh even more happily.

It seems… Li Fengbei cares about her as his wife more than she thought.

He even put aside his official duties and came to see her as quickly as possible.

Under Qiao Anle’s smiling gaze, Li Fengbei’s ears turned red again.

He uttered a few low words in his voice and explained.

“Ahem. Today’s rice harvest is almost done. The rest can be done by others.”

Therefore, the production plan was not disrupted and the labor progress was not affected.

This explanation is consistent with Li Fengbei’s usual rigorous attitude, and also adds some everyday touching elements.

Qiao Anle did not delve further into this topic.

She then asked, “So you don’t have to go to the production team next time?”

Li Fengbei replied, “Well, you don’t have to go today.”

“That’s perfect. Let’s go to Aunt Li’s house and pick up Dazai and the others—”

Qiao Anle had only said half of his words.

But they were completely interrupted by shouts coming from behind them.

This time, the person who spoke was not Fang Cheng.

“Sister Qiao — Sister Qiao — Sister Qiao –“

The red and green figure was stumbling and running towards them in a funny posture.

The smile on Qiao Anle’s face when he saw Sun Xiangxiang for the first time disappeared.

The same is true for Li Fengbei.

In those dark eyes, all the gentleness disappeared, and a hint of coldness and strangeness appeared.

Sun Xiangxiang was completely frightened just now, and it took her a long time to recover.

I jogged all the way to catch up, and my carefully prepared hairstyle was completely messed up.

She looked extremely disheveled, with her mouth wide open and gasping for breath.

Just when Sun Xiangxiang was about to approach Qiao Anle.

Fang Cheng stepped out and stood in front of Qiao Anle and Li Fengbei.

The young man showed his maturity at this moment.

He raised his arms, looking serious, not allowing Sun Xiangxiang to get close to him again.

Sun Xiangxiang rolled her eyes, looking at Fang Cheng and then at Qiao Anle.

I didn’t dare to get too close, but I also didn’t want to give up.

There was obvious pleading in her eyes.

Qiao Anle turned a blind eye to this.

Everything that had just happened had made her completely understand that Sun Xiangxiang had no good intentions towards her, and could not be called a friend to the original owner.

Qiao Anle remained silent.

She just wanted to see Sun Xiangxiang, and wondered what good show she was going to put on.

really……

Sun Xiangxiang immediately revealed an aggrieved and pitiful expression.

She began to explain in a crying and sad voice.

“Sister Qiao, I didn’t mean to… those words just now… I didn’t mean to say that…”

“I didn’t mean to slander you. I didn’t spread the other words. It really wasn’t me. Sister Qiao, you have to believe me… It really wasn’t me!”

“Um… please help me explain to Captain Li, I’m not that kind of person. You should know that, I’m really not that kind of person…”

Qiao Anle just watched the show coldly.

To be fair, Sun Xiangxiang’s acting skills are indeed good.

He said these words in a sad voice, and a few tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

But her eyes betrayed her.

When Sun Xiangxiang said the last few words, her tearful eyes were clearly looking towards Li Fengbei.

Why would someone who is in a hurry to explain to Qiao Anle care so much about Li Fengbei’s opinion?

Even the best of friends would not deliberately show a pitiful look in front of her husband.

Unless this person has bad intentions towards her best friend’s husband.

hehe.

It seems that Sun Xiangxiang is still a love rival.

Sun Xiangxiang deliberately got close to the original owner just to get close to Li Fengbei.

It’s really a roundabout way to save the country.

Sun Xiangxiang was still crying, “Sister Qiao, please help me say something… Please help me explain to Captain Li…”

Qiao Anle didn’t want to see her pretending anymore.

“Sun Xiangxiang, you came here in such a hurry to explain. Do you want to explain to me or to my man? So that you can keep your image pure and unpretentious?”

As soon as these words came out.

Sun Xiangxiang’s disguise was immediately exposed.

Sun Xiangxiang was not used to Qiao Anle’s firepower offensive and was completely unable to cope with it.

The person who was being scolded was speechless for a moment.

She hemmed and hawed.

“I…I…I…at that time, Sister Qiao and I were not only friends, but also sisters…”

“Stop.”

Qiao Anle frowned unhappily.

She said in a cold voice, “Sun Xiangxiang, my parents have four children, and I am the only daughter in the family. I only have brothers, but no sisters. You don’t have to call me sister, I can’t bear it.”

Sun Xiangxiang still wanted to put on a flattering look, but she was too embarrassed to hide her feelings when Qiao Anle flatly rejected her.

She looked at Qiao Anle in front of her. They were clearly the same person, but why didn’t she have a trace of the weakness and innocence she had before?

Qiao Anle narrowed his eyes slightly and continued speaking to Sun Xiangxiang.

“Sun Xiangxiang, don’t you like to imitate the city people the most?”

“yes……”

“Let me teach you another fashionable word in the city. I, Qiao Anle, am Li Fengbei’s wife. To address her in the city’s language is… Li Tai Tai.”

“Mrs. Li…?”

“Yes, it’s Mrs. Li. Next time you see me, please call me Mrs. Li.”

Qiao Anle’s pronunciation was clear and her words were crisp, with every emphasis placed on the three words “Mrs. Li”.

Sun Xiangxiang was completely confused.

Like a puppet, he was manipulated by Qiao Anle and kept muttering the three words “Mrs. Li”.

Qiao Anle had already taken Li Fengbei’s hand and strode away with a happy mood.

Fang Cheng witnessed a war without the smoke of gunpowder and watched Qiao Anle win a great victory.

There was only one sentence left in his mind.

My sister-in-law is so amazing! No wonder Captain Li likes her so much!

Fang Cheng gave his sister-in-law a thumbs up!
