Chapter 158: Chapter 131 Worry Upgrade_3

Chuxia listened helplessly on the side, realizing that when it came to Zhou Mikang, nobody believed her, but when Luo Xiaoqiong was the topic, suddenly she was regarded as someone who never lied, sigh...

Zhao Qiliang was also hearing about this for the first time, and he was so shocked that he stared blankly for a while before turning to Chuxia, "Chuxia, when did this happen?"

"Just a few days ago, during class, Director Xu came to inspect. It happened when Xiaoqiong ran into him having an episode, and then, Director Xu was impressed by her courage and meticulousness, and he asked her right then if she was willing to go to 401.

If it weren’t for Director Xu’s illness all these years, Xiaoqiong would have already reported to 401. Big brother, Eldest maternal aunt is right, you are truly lucky. But, you must work hard and strive to stay on, otherwise, when the time comes, you might just become a trailing spouse," Chuxia half-jokingly explained, speaking of course according to the official story. As for the underhanded bits, how could she dare to tell these people?

If they knew the Zhou family’s power, that would just give them even more to worry about. For example, if Zhou Mikang couldn’t have children, it would definitely be due to some other serious problem. Or, for instance, if they upset the Zhou family, would they also end up sending Luo Xiaoqiong and Zhao Qiliang back home? For example... she didn’t need to think deeper to know that whatever they considered certainly wouldn’t be anything positive.

She was telling them about Luo Xiaoqiong now, trying to use the happy news to alleviate everyone’s concerns a bit, otherwise they would just be worrying tonight.

But right now, she couldn’t go and drag Zhou Mikang here to explain to them whether he had been married or had children, sigh...

She wondered what expression Great Regimental Commander Zhou would have if he knew what all these parents were thinking about him; she was actually quite looking forward to seeing him in an embarrassed state.

On the way back, Zhao Qiliang was silent the whole time.

Luo Xiaoqiong, concerned, poked Chuxia and tilted her chin towards Zhao Qiliang’s direction.

Chuxia had of course noticed Zhao Qiliang’s demeanor, but this was something she felt she had to give him time to digest.

Most men have a bit of an ego; they feel they need to be stronger than their wives. If their wife climbs the ranks faster and higher than them, it can make them uncomfortable.

Plainly speaking, it’s an issue with male chauvinism.

If big brother truly thought this way, she would be somewhat disappointed in him. A man, when faced with such a situation, should think about how to work hard to catch up with his girlfriend, rather than wallowing in self-pity, or thinking he’s not worthy of her and choosing to give up.

But this, she couldn’t say to Luo Xiaoqiong. What if it affected Xiaoqiong’s judgment and caused her to break up with her big brother? What then?

However, since Luo Xiaoqiong had already poked her, she couldn’t just say nothing, so she said, "Big brother, what are you thinking about?"

"I’m digesting the things we encountered today," Zhao Qiliang said, a bit embarrassed as he rubbed his head, "All of this, it’s too sudden. I need to thoroughly process it.

Right now, I’m having a hard time accepting it all. Most importantly, the thought of the regimental commander becoming my brother-in-law just does not sit right with me."

"And what about Xiaoqiong going to 401?"

"That’s a good thing. I have nothing but happiness for her." Zhao Qiliang looked earnestly at Luo Xiaoqiong, "Xiaoqiong, if you’re advancing better than me, I can only be happy.

Today, the situation with Chuxia threw me off. Don’t worry; I will definitely work hard to ensure we can stay together and make my in-laws proud."

"Do you really think that way?" Luo Xiaoqiong’s eyes brightened with joy. She hadn’t seen Zhao Qiliang on the first day she reported, and they didn’t meet until three days later, at the canteen.

But under those circumstances, neither of them had dared to greet the other.

Zhao Qiliang already knew she and Chuxia were coming to report and didn’t show any surprise; back then he just smiled at them and said nothing else.

That evening she and Chuxia sought him out for a chat.

To avoid any awkwardness, Chuxia didn’t dare create an opportunity for just the two to talk, so including this time (the third encounter), she and Zhao Qiliang hadn’t exchanged more than ten sentences.

Tonight, Zhao Qiliang might have been too shocked by Zhou Mikang taking Chuxia as a wife, and he hardly spoke to her, making her worry that he had heard the rumors and didn’t want her anymore.

In reality, there was something she hadn’t even told Chuxia.

Initially, she didn’t want to go to 401, not only because she couldn’t bear to part with Chuxia, but there was another more important reason: she was worried that Zhao Qiliang wouldn’t want to be with her if she outperformed him in her career. After all, many men have this issue, and she had to guard against it.

Zhao Qiliang was the man she had long harbored feelings for, and it was not easy for her wish to come true. She really feared losing him, which was why all through this evening, she was feeling extremely anxious.

All for the sake of Chuxia, as well as for herself. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes, monthly votes, your support is my greatest motivation.)
