Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

Another sleepless night.

Lu Yanzheng lay stiffly on the makeshift bed made of benches. The bloodshot in his eyes was alarmingly red.

I haven't had a good night's sleep for days, but I just can't fall asleep.

Just a moment ago they were passionately kissing and embracing, how did they end up so badly injured?

Actually, listening to what she said, from her perspective, it seems that she was right.

A dull, throbbing pain shot through Lu Yanzheng's chest, like being repeatedly stabbed by countless needles. Even being shot by a bullet back then hadn't hurt this much.

It wasn't until midnight that he heard shallow, even breathing from the room across the hall, as if the person had fallen asleep. Only then did he loosen his clenched fists and stealthily crept over.

He lay down next to Xiao Re, still dressed.

He didn't touch her, nor did he dare to. He didn't even dare to glance in her direction.

But just sitting next to her blanket, my heart inexplicably calmed down. My eyelids slowly drooped.

In fact, Xiao Re wasn't asleep. She just kept her eyes tightly closed, using silence to isolate herself from the sorrow in her heart.

The next day, as soon as the bugle sounded in the military camp, Lu Yanzheng habitually opened his eyes.

He secretly kissed Xiao Re's hair and then quietly slipped out of her room.

Pretend nothing happened.

After the morning exercises were over, he brought a hot breakfast from the cafeteria.

"Xiao Re, Yingying, get up and eat!"

"Okay, Brother Zheng!" He Yingying happily agreed and ran over with a joyful heart.

Xiao Re was sitting on the stool in the inner room, but he didn't even lift his eyelids. He was busy tidying up his things, as if he hadn't heard the call at all.

Lu Yanzheng looked somewhat embarrassed and raised his voice again.

"Rere, dinner's ready!"

The way he called her "Rere" was so intimate; it was the first time Lu Yanzheng had ever called her that, and his cheeks felt a little hot.

Xiao Re remained unmoved, as if he hadn't heard anything, and continued to turn his back to them, exuding a cold aura that kept people at a distance.

Lu Yanzheng knew Xiao Re was angry. He nudged He Yingying with his elbow.

"She's ignoring me, could you call her for me?"

He Yingying was already unhappy when she heard Lu Yanzheng call her "Rere," and now she was even more unhappy.

"Wouldn't it be better if she ignored me? I couldn't care less about her anyway."

Lu Yanzheng's face darkened, and he swept a glance over at her. He Yingying dared not make a fuss anymore.

He called out reluctantly.

"Hey you inside, time to eat."

Xiao Re coldly raised his eyes, his tone harsh and sharp, showing no appreciation whatsoever.

"That guy outside, even eating can't shut you up. Do you think you can tell me what to do?"

He Yingying turned to Lu Yanzheng and complained.

"I told you, just ignore her. Isn't she just asking for trouble?"

Lu Yanzheng sighed and stopped insisting. He simply picked up the bowl and chopsticks again and set aside half of the food for her.

He knew that even if he shouted himself hoarse today, this woman wouldn't pay any attention.

"I've saved some food for you. Eat it yourself if you get hungry!"

Lu Yanzheng relayed his words through the air. It was as if he were talking to himself.

Xiao Re ignored him completely and still didn't hear it.

Lu Yanzheng walked to her door again and spoke into it.

"I'm going to training. I'll be back from grocery shopping around noon. What would you like to eat?"

When Xiao couldn't get away with it, he continued to ask.

"Lettuce?"

"eggplant?"

"Tofu?"

"pork?"

"How about I catch you a hen?"

……

The man wouldn't stop until Xiao Re glared at him fiercely, at which point Lu Yanzheng shut his mouth and left reluctantly.

When he reached the window, he glanced up at the beautiful figure in the distance, and his heart felt both heavy and tender.

I don't know how this woman, at such a young age, can be so magnanimous.

Even though her man has been so humble and submissive, he still won't back down. Why is he so hard to coax?

Of the hundreds of women in this military compound, who is like her?

If this happened at Wang Biaozi's house, he would beat them eight hundred times a day.

Because he had something on his mind, Lu Yanzheng left early and went home before noon.

He bought a lot of meat, vegetables, and eggs, and was also carrying an old hen.

As soon as he entered, He Yingying greeted him with a beaming smile and exceptional hospitality, quickly taking the things from his hands.

"Zheng-ge, you're back? You bought so much stuff!"

"I'll go cook right away."

Lu Yanzheng waved his hand and said, "No need, you rest, I'll do it."

Originally, he was planning to show off his skills and cook a delicious meal to reward the woman inside.

But Xiao Re heard these words and interpreted them in a completely different way.

Ha! She certainly knows how to take care of people.

Lu Yanzheng put down the chicken in his hand and glanced at the table.

The rice porridge, steamed buns, and side dishes from the morning were all left untouched.

Xiao Re didn't go anywhere; he just sat quietly by the window reading a book.

Lu Yanzheng deliberately walked to the door of the inner room and pretended to cough twice.

Cough cough--

"I'm back!"

I called out very loudly, but there was no response from inside.

"You didn't eat anything this morning, aren't you hungry?"

"Don't be angry with me, don't mistreat yourself. If you starve to death, who will you leave all your money to?"

"You still have over 200,000 yuan in debt that hasn't been collected!"

That's a very true statement. Xiao Re finally made a move.

She gave a soft hum through her nose.

Lu Yanzheng knew he couldn't say anything more. Otherwise, it would backfire.

After that, she didn't utter a single sound.

Outside, He Yingying was diligently washing, chopping, and plucking chicken feathers.

Lu Yanzheng walked over and asked indirectly.

"Did she eat anything today?"

He Yingying immediately became unhappy when Lu Yanzheng asked Xiao Re.

"Brother Zheng, why are you concerned about her?"

Lu Yanzheng frowned, his tone instantly becoming impatient.

"If I don't care about her, am I supposed to let her starve to death like you? That would be my problem too!"

Seeing that Lu Yanzheng was angry, He Yingying told him the truth.

"Yes, don't worry. Someone like her wouldn't let herself starve to death."

"She made herself a cup of oatmeal, drank a glass of milk, ate an apple, ate six red dates, and also cracked open a plate of melon seeds."

"Those sunflower seed shells were just lying in the living room; I had to sweep them up!"

Upon hearing that the woman had eaten, Lu Yanzheng felt much more relieved.

Then he asked another question.

Did she speak to you today?

He Yingying returned.

"She didn't say anything, but she rolled her eyes at me a few times!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanzheng felt both amused and annoyed.

That's definitely the woman's style.

"So she didn't go anywhere else to cause trouble today, did she?"

He Yingying raised her chin, her face full of pride.

"All the wives in the entire military compound ignore her, so who is she going to offend?"

"But Sister Xuehua and Sister Meiyu next door took the initiative to chat with me. They even brought me freshly made steamed buns and osmanthus cakes. They were so sweet! I saved two pieces for you too!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanzheng's face immediately darkened, and he sternly reprimanded He Yingying.

"Who gave you permission to accept their gifts? Are you starving at home?"

The two women who delivered the gifts were the same ones who had called Xiao a vixen. Their despicable intention to win over He Yingying was obvious.

"From now on, you're not allowed to accept anything from anyone. Especially those two households next door, understand?"

Lu Yanzheng's shout was so loud that not only He Yingying, but even the people in the next courtyard heard it.

Lu Yanzheng said it on purpose for them to hear.

Finally, there was a little sound again from the room inside.

It was just another "Hmph!"

This hum was noticeably more pleasant than the previous one; it was arrogant, dissatisfied, sulky, and even a little spoiled.

Lu Yanzheng chuckled and made a teasing remark inside.

"I think you should just call yourself Xiao Heng, not Xiao Re!"

Xiao Re stopped snorting, kicked an empty can out of the box, and it flew precisely to Lu Yanzheng's calf.

"Wow, that's a pretty accurate kick."

"Come on, kick it again!"

"Kick your head!" Xiao Re finally said something normal.

Although it wasn't anything nice, Lu Yanzheng was very happy.

He put down what he was doing and sidled up to the doorway of the inner room, trying to ingratiate himself.

"Don't be angry anymore!"

"Or, how about I twist my head off so you can kick it?"
