Chapter 7

He suddenly walked up to her and moved closer to her. His body exuded a strong smell of sweat like liquor mixed with the smell of sunlight, which was not unpleasant and very attractive to her.

Sheng Huan liked the smell of him because he smelled very similar to the smell of her family members who served in the army.

Sheng Huan stared at him intently, and as they were so close, his features looked even deeper, like two bottomless whirlpools that drew her in.

“Do you think this is a vegetable market where you can come and go as you please?” Shen Beichuan’s voice was low and filled with a hint of dissatisfaction, his eyes like swords, staring at her fiercely.

Sheng Huan showed no weakness, raised his chin slightly, and raised his delicate eyebrows lightly like willow leaves, “I just want to go back to see my parents, is it necessary for you to say that? Are you…are you still angry?”

“I didn’t.” Shen Beichuan let go of her hand coldly, his tone firm.

“You have!”

“I don’t!”

“You have!”

Shen Beichuan glared at her, his tone revealing impatience that was difficult to conceal, “I’m not being mean to you, if you want to go back, just wait for a month, and then I’ll give you a divorce certificate, a letter of introduction, and money, I’ll prepare everything for you.”

“…” Sheng Huan snorted coldly, crossed her arms across her chest, and a bright and charming smile blossomed on her lightly made-up face.

She raised her head and looked at him fearlessly, with a hint of mischief in her smile:

“Captain Shen, just tell me straight, why do you want a divorce? Do you have another woman outside?”

Shen Beichuan’s gaze lingered on her briefly, the sunlight falling like a veil on her skin as white as mutton-fat jade, and her slender arms were as soft as boneless willow branches.

Shen Beichuan quickly turned his eyes away from her, “Whether I have a woman or not has nothing to do with you. We both agreed before that we will live our own lives.”

Oh, so he and the original owner were the type who got married and then went their separate ways.

This was fine, and after a month, everyone would part ways amicably, but she suddenly had a bad intention.

The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, and her fox-like eyes narrowed slightly.

“I don’t want a divorce now. If you want a divorce, you have to give me a suitable reason.”

The man touched his back teeth with the tip of his tongue, “I don’t like you.”

“I like you.”

Sheng Huan’s words were half true and half false. She did have some feelings for him, but she didn’t fall in love with him. She just wanted to do the opposite of him. Who told him to be called Shen Beichuan? Why did he always go against her wishes?

Shen Beichuan’s eyelids couldn’t help but twitch a few times, “I’ll say it again, I don’t like you, and in a month, I will file a divorce report.”

“It’s okay, go ahead and ask for it. We are a military marriage, it’s not that easy to get divorced. Also, I like you, I won’t get divorced, what can you do to me!”

It was difficult to discern the emotions in Shen Beichuan’s dark and deep black eyes, “If you don’t mean it, if you say too much, you’ll be struck by lightning.”

She blinked her beautiful fox eyes, looked up and saw the bright sun, smiled brightly, and curled her red lips slightly.

“Will it? I have never thought or meant what I said since I was a child. I have often lied to people, but I have never been struck by lightning.”

Shen Beichuan looked at her seemingly harmless smile, and his fingers on the side of his pants curled and loosened slightly.

His heart felt like it was pierced by a needle and it hurt a little for a moment.

I’ve known for a long time that she was a little liar, and of course she’ll be a big liar when she grows up. There’s nothing surprising about her words.

Shen Beichuan narrowed his black eyes slightly, and with the tip of his tongue pressed against his back teeth, he gritted his teeth and said, “You are really brave!”

Sheng Huan showed a foxy smile at the corner of his lips, stood on tiptoe, leaned close to his ear and whispered:

“Don’t you have any guts? If you give me one million, I can consider divorcing you. After all, following you is like having a long-term meal ticket. If I want a divorce, I have to convert it into cash anyway.”

One million!

Even a lion wouldn’t dare to mention such a big number.

“You…” Shen Beichuan really didn’t expect that after she stopped pretending to be gentle, she could be even more shameless than before. After being extremely angry, he was actually amused by the anger.

“Oh, right.” Sheng Huan saw that he was very angry, and made an expression as if he suddenly realized something. Shen Beichuan’s forehead twitched instantly, and then he heard her say.

“Your brainless wife slipped and accidentally slapped the communications director twice.”

Shen Beichuan’s expression darkened instantly, the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and his eyes were so complicated that it seemed as if he was weighing something.

He looked at Sheng Huan, and for a moment he didn’t know whether he should be angry at her for talking so loudly, or be happy that she was frank and honest about “accidentally slapping him twice”.

“You…” Shen Beichuan was speechless again.

Sheng Huan, however, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands innocently, “Anyway, it has already happened. I just told you in advance so that you don’t hear rumors and blame me for not reminding you.”

Shen Beichuan was really angry and amused. The woman in front of him made him speechless to the extreme. She had not eaten in vain in the past few years, and her face was thicker than the city wall.

But her innocent look, as if nothing was wrong with her, made him not know how to get angry.

“You are really frank!” Shen Beichuan couldn’t help but sneer.

Sheng Huan ignored his sneer and continued to say leisurely: “Actually, you can rest assured. I am not a person who will do anything rash. No one in the world is as reasonable as me.”

Hearing this, Shen Beichuan chuckled from his throat, and curled his lips in a half-smile, “I think someone who can break his promise is not a reasonable person.”

She had a harmless expression and curled her lips lightly, “Breaking your promise? I’m heartless, why should I keep my promise?”

“……” Shen Beichuan, when the two got married, they agreed to part ways amicably. At that time, she also admitted that she had someone in her heart and said that she would try her best to compensate him after the divorce. But now she is trying to blackmail him for a divorce fee. This little trick is the usual trick of that little liar.

Could it be that the person who said he didn’t know him four years ago and liked someone else’s woman wasn’t a little liar.

And the woman in front of him is the little liar he knows?

Shen Beichuan stared at her, no, she was the same person, a person who was good at pretending, the reason why she stopped pretending was to seduce him, and then dumped him harshly, just like four years ago.

Unfortunately, he saw it all clearly. Just when he was relieved, Sheng Huan changed the subject without any hesitation and said with a smile:

“If you don’t give me money for the trip home, you should at least give me some living expenses. How about this? If I don’t have money, I can ask your leader to advance me one month’s salary first?”

“You…” Shen Beichuan was so angry that he almost spit out blood!

This little liar is so shameless that she can even talk about an advance on salary so casually?

He clenched his jaw, making his handsome features more distinct. He stared at Sheng Huan with a stern gaze for two seconds, as if he was wondering what “surprise” she had waiting for him next.

Sheng Huan looked at his expression and laughed inwardly, thinking that he would feel embarrassed, and then obediently took out the money and gave it to her.

Unexpectedly, Shen Beichuan laughed and said:

“Go get an advance. It’s best to ask your boss for an advance of one million.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted his long legs, turned the toes of his shoes, and walked away neatly, leaving behind a military green silhouette.

Sheng Huan stood there blinking her big eyes. Why didn’t this person play by the rules? She didn’t react for a moment.

But he quickly started to do the math in his mind: one million divided by a salary of two hundred yuan… that would be… five thousand years? !

Sheng Huan’s eyes were full of circles, and he sneered, “Fifty centuries… He has a really long service life!”

Shen Beichuan thought that the matter of asking for money had come to an end, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he happened to meet Teacher Yang when he got off work in the evening. The latter suddenly asked casually: “Are you short of money recently?”

Shen Beichuan was stunned, not understanding why.

He has always lived a simple life and is as self-disciplined as a monk. He rarely smokes or drinks. His family sends him things from time to time. He basically saves his salary and rarely spends it. How could it be not enough?

Teacher Yang smiled and said, “Your wife came to see me today and wanted to advance half a year’s salary. She said she hoped the organization would approve it.”

Shen Beichuan reacted instantly, his eyebrows jumped, this woman really dared to say that!

He quickly interrupted and said with an awkward smile: “I’m sorry to make you laugh, but my wife and I had a small conflict and I deliberately didn’t give her money.”

Commander Yang raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled meaningfully: “That’s good. Your wife has just joined the army. You should pay more attention to her. A grown man should be able to bend and stretch. You should be kind and submissive to your woman. Go back in the evening and apologize to your wife.”

Shen Beichuan nodded reluctantly and was about to say goodbye, but unexpectedly, Commander Yang pursed his lips again and added with a smile: “By the way, your wife is still asking about the pension.”

Pension?!

Shen Beichuan’s heart was filled with alarm bells, the pension was a pension that was only given to the family members after the death of a soldier, and the amount was quite considerable, especially for someone at his level as a regiment commander, he might be able to get several thousand yuan, or even tens of thousands of yuan!

What was going on in this woman’s mind? She was now calculating his pension?

Shen Beichuan’s face darkened. She really was obsessed with money! Was she hoping that he would die sooner so that she could get the pension and become rich?

The more Shen Beichuan thought about it, the angrier he got. He suddenly made up his mind and swore to himself: No! He had to live tough. Even if she died, he couldn’t die!

Thinking that this little liar could even make such a calculation so smoothly, Shen Beichuan couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

After get off work, Qin Chaoyang was carrying a roast duck wrapped in oil paper, and when he passed by Shen Beichuan’s dormitory, he happened to see Sheng Huan hanging clothes in the corridor.

He rolled his eyes and asked with a smile, “Sister-in-law, do you want to eat some roast duck together?”

In the 1980s, the economic conditions in Longguo were not very affluent, especially in the military. The supply of meat sometimes depended on luck and was only available on weekends or holidays.

Qin Chaoyang was calculating, thinking that the less people knew about the delicious roast duck, the better, so that too many people wouldn’t have to share the meat.

Therefore, Shen Beichuan’s dormitory became an “ideal battlefield”. After all, no one dared to knock on the door of the regiment leader rashly, and they had to endure the smell!

When Sheng Huan heard that there was meat to eat, he nodded and agreed without hesitation.

After the two sat down, they ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.

Qin Chaoyang secretly looked at Sheng Huan and thought: This sister-in-law is really different from what Shen Xin said! How can she be a gentle and elegant lady? She is simply a wild character, careless talk, and lively thinking.

The more they talked, the more he felt that he and Sheng Huan got along well. Sure enough, people who spend money like him are just the same kind of people, and getting along with her is much more comfortable than he imagined.

Qin Chaoyang came to a conclusion in his mind: This sister-in-law is good and can get along well with her!

As they chatted, Sheng Huan also heard a lot of “gossip” about Shen Beichuan from Qin Chaoyang.

The two of them were chatting excitedly, and Qin Chaoyang even took out his private stash of Wuliangye.

After three rounds of drinks, Qin Chaoyang opened up completely, chatting about everything under the sun, even talking about Shen Beichuan’s unrequited love.

As for Sheng Huan, it was his first time drinking white wine, and the alcohol was taking effect, making him dizzy and he didn’t hear clearly what he said at all.

The next day, Sheng Huan was awakened by the wake-up call and felt that her breathing was not smooth. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and found that she was sleeping on her stomach, and on Shen Beichuan’s body!
