Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 119 Going to someone's door to freeload

Lu Cheng was not intimidated by Zhong Weiguo's anger.

He picked up the teacup on the table and shoved it into Zhong Weiguo's hand, saying, "Boss, have some tea, calm down, and let me explain."

Zhong Weiguo picked up his teacup and drank for a long time without getting any water. He looked down and saw that there was no water in the teacup.

Just as he was about to lash out, Lu Cheng quickly grabbed the thermos from the cabinet and poured him some water.

“Leader, the responsibility for today’s incident lies entirely with me. I didn’t pick her up at the station, and my attire was inappropriate, which led some female colleagues to criticize me. She was jealous and unhappy, which is why she argued with me. I apologize for making a fool of myself.”

“I missed the wedding because of a mission, and I already felt bad about it. Now that she has come all the way to visit me, I have to make sure she is safe.”

When he heard about the disaster relief mission in Diancheng, Zhong Weiguo's anger subsided somewhat.

His tone became even more serious: "I could assign someone else to the mission in Diancheng, but you should know why I assigned you!"

Lu Cheng replied solemnly, "Yes, I understand your good intentions!"

With the expansion imminent, Zhong Weiguo was determined to promote his prized subordinate, Lu Cheng, to the position of new regimental commander.

But Lu Cheng was too young, and had not been promoted to battalion level for a year.

Assigning the mission in Diancheng to Lu Cheng was also intended to allow Lu Cheng to accumulate more experience and military merits.

Zhong Weiguo was deeply moved by Lu Cheng's words about protecting his wife, and ultimately agreed to let Lu Cheng do the self-criticism alone.

Before leaving, Lu Cheng used the phone in Zhong Weiguo's office to let his family know he was safe.

……

After walking a few steps from Zhong Weiguo's office, he ran into two other battalion commanders from the same regiment, Wang Fugui and Zhang Ziqiang.

Wang Fugui teased Lu Cheng: "Lu Ying, what have you done now to provoke Zhong Tuan into such a big fuss?"

Lu Cheng: "How did you know my wife was visiting?"

Wang Fugui: "..."

"I'm not going to waste any more time talking to you guys, I need to hurry and deliver food to my wife."

Watching Lu Cheng stride away, Wang Fugui couldn't help but complain to Zhang Ziqiang, "Look at the smug look on his face, like he's got a wife all to himself!"

Zhang Ziqiang patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "That's just how Lu Ying is, why did you provoke him? Alright, go report to Regiment Zhong."

Back in the barracks, I met several soldiers who were going to the mess hall for a meal.

"Luying."

"Luying."

Lu Cheng looked at the soldiers who were saluting and said, "Your wives are visiting the troops and staying at the guesthouse. If you see them outside, behave yourselves, understand?"

"heard it!"

After watching him walk away, the soldiers immediately gathered together.

"The battalion commander actually smiled at us."

"He's happy that his wife came!"

"I wonder what kind of angel the battalion commander's wife is, that she could bewitch our cold-faced devil like this."

Back in the dormitory, Lu Cheng grabbed a washbasin and towel and headed to the public bathhouse.

At the entrance of the bathhouse, she bumped into Zhang Jiaming, who had just finished showering.

"Luying."

"Ah."

Thinking of the gossip Jiang Qing had told him, Zhang Jiaming turned around and went back to the bathhouse, where he went to the sink and scrubbed his washed underwear again.

Taking the opportunity, he spoke to Lu Cheng, who was washing his face with water, "Commander Lu, I heard that you were harassed by a female hooligan while you were on a mission today..."

Lu Cheng wiped the water off his face and interrupted him coldly: "Zhang Jiaming, you just listen to whatever others say. Don't you have any judgment of your own?"

In the past, Zhang Jiaming would never have believed that Lu Cheng would be abducted by a female hooligan.

But with Jiang Moli as a cautionary tale, Lu Cheng's image in his mind was no longer so virtuous and righteous.

If Lu Cheng is attracted to Jiang Moli, it's hard to guarantee he won't fall for other women.

However, he didn't dare to voice these thoughts to Lu Cheng's face.

Lu Cheng turned off the tap, threw the towel into the basin, and called out, "Zhang Jiaming!"

"To!"

"After you finish washing up, go find Sun Lian and recite the five new disciplinary regulations issued this month fifty times in front of him!"

"Yes!"

After venting his anger, Lu Cheng took water into a small cubicle to shower. Zhang Jiaming also picked up his things and prepared to return to his dormitory.

Turning around, I realized that several comrades were gathered at the entrance of the bathhouse.

"Jiaming, what did you do to anger the Lu camp so much?"

Zhang Jiaming couldn't possibly say it.

The five newly promulgated disciplinary regulations mainly emphasize discipline, seriousness, and good conduct, requiring them to focus on tasks, training, and their own qualities, and prohibiting them from spreading unverified information or rumors, or engaging in meaningless chatter or gossip.

Lu Cheng punished him by making him recite it fifty times, clearly annoyed by his gossipy and talkative nature.

……

After taking a shower, Lu Cheng found his newest military uniform and put it on. He then took out a razor and shaved his chin and sideburns clean before taking his lunchbox to the canteen to get his food.

As they passed by, the soldiers on the walkway saluted.

"Luying."

Lu Cheng nodded in acknowledgment.

After he walked away, several soldiers huddled together and whispered, "The soldiers in the Lu camp smelled so strongly of soap today."

"I smell it too!"

"The battalion commander's wife is here, so I'd better make sure I'm clean, or what if she doesn't want me to sleep with her?"

"Are you out of your mind? How dare you joke about Lu Ying? Aren't you afraid he'll teach you a lesson?"

"Damn it, you're not allowed to tattle!"

After Zhang Jiaming returned from reciting the disciplinary regulations to Sun Jianhua, he heard his comrades discussing it and finally couldn't resist his curiosity, so he asked what was going on.

Upon learning that Jiang Moli had come to visit her family at the military base, he finally understood why Lu Cheng was so angry.

He returned to his dormitory dejectedly and lay on his bed in a daze.

Sun Jianhua didn't ask him why he was punished, but after he finished reciting the rules, he said something to him.

—Lu Ying has always placed high hopes on you; don't let him down.

He doesn't know what's wrong with him lately; he keeps making mistakes.

He wasn't like this before.

……

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, Lu Cheng frowned as he looked at the food in his bowl. "Why is the food so bland today?"

The cook was a little confused by the question: "Is it this vegetarian every day?"

After leaving the camp, Lu Cheng didn't rush to the guesthouse, but instead turned into the family quarters.

"Zhong Tuan, are we getting ready for dinner?"

Seeing Lu Cheng arrive uninvited, Zhong Weiguo teased, "Why aren't you with your wife? What are you doing here?"

Jiang Wenjuan warmly invited Lu Cheng to sit down, "Little Lu, come in and have a seat. Have you eaten yet? This afternoon, Commander Hu's family caught a wild rabbit on the mountain and gave me half of it. Want to come and have a taste?"

Lu Cheng stared intently at the fragrant braised wild rabbit on the table and said, "I won't eat the rice, just give me some of that, I'll take it to my wife to try."

He then handed over the empty lunchbox.

Jiang Wenjuan: "..."

Zhong Weiguo scolded him: "Your sister-in-law was being polite to you, and you really didn't stand on ceremony!"

"Why should I stand on ceremony with you?"

After saying that, he grinned at Jiang Wenjuan and said, "I thank you on behalf of Jasmine, sister-in-law. I will definitely bring her to visit you another day."

Having said all that, Jiang Wenjuan couldn't very well refuse to pretend anymore.

Lu Cheng managed to take almost half a bowl of braised rabbit.

Before leaving, Zhong Weiguo asked him, "What exactly did you come here for?"

"I came to see what you had for dinner. I've seen it, I'm leaving now, goodbye sister-in-law!"

Zhong Weiguo: "..."

You son of a bitch! So you've come here to freeload!

I left the Zhong family's house.

Lu Cheng lowered his head and smelled the fragrant rabbit meat in the lunchbox. Satisfied, he closed the lid and excitedly headed towards the guesthouse.
