Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Qi Taiguo had waited for quite a while but Cheng Su still hadn't spoken up, making him lose his patience, "What do you want to say? If you're not going to speak, let's sleep. I need to return to the military base tomorrow!"

Cheng Su uttered an 'oh', then with a surprised look came again, "What, you're going back to the base tomorrow?"

She knew that Qi Taiguo's military base was in Qing City, which was a five or six hours' drive from here.

Qi Taiguo glanced at her indifferently, "I only took three days of leave."

Under the dim light, Cheng Su's face was somewhat blurred, and with her shocked expression, she seemed somewhat dazed. For some reason, Qi Taiguo felt that at this moment she had lost her usual sharpness and brashness, and actually appeared somewhat gentle, and even more pleasing to the eye.

She was only about twenty this year, a good age.

Qi Taiguo's gaze fell on the slightly open collar of her nightgown, where he saw the clavicles, and quickly looked away, the scene from last night flashing across his mind—the ecstasy.

His throat bobbed, his ears felt hot, and he clenched his fists slightly; after all, it had been his first taste of a woman's flavor.

And now, there was one right in front of him, his woman, from whom a pleasant scent wafted, aside form the smell of soap, there was something else.

It was strange, they both used the same soap for bathing, so why did she smell particularly nice?

Qi Taiguo sniffed lightly, his senses drifting.

Cheng Su didn't notice his change, only thinking about what he just said, about returning to the base.

Great, this way they could be apart for a while, and she wouldn't have to fret about sharing a bed. They could sleep together once they developed feelings for each other later on.

Feeling excited inside, Cheng Suxin asked, "Are you leaving early tomorrow morning?"

Caught off guard by her question, Qi Taiguo also snapped back to reality, feeling a flicker of panic and annoyance at his momentary distraction. The lure of desire was troublesome. He clearly didn't like her but was thinking about her body, detestable!

Thus, when Cheng Su asked, his tone wasn't very nice, "Yes, I'll leave after breakfast tomorrow morning!"

Cheng Su's eyes suddenly lit up with joy, something that was glaring to Qi Taiguo. A thought crossed his mind—surely she wasn't thinking about going to the base with him?

He held the rank of a company commander in the army, and there were dormitories at the base. Now that he was married, it wasn't impossible for family members to accompany soldiers. Indeed, the dormitory compound was filled with dependents.

But what about Cheng Su?

"I'm going to the base where military discipline prevails. You just stay at your parents' home properly, respect your in-laws, and don't get any funny ideas. Military life isn't suited for you." Qi Taiguo's tone was harsh. With her temperament, who knew what trouble she might stir up if she went to the dormitory compound!

He had expected Cheng Su to get angry. In the past, she would have retorted by now. But this time, she still smiled and said, "Okay, you go ahead, I'll just stay at home!"

Qi Taiguo was taken aback and looked at her suspiciously. She was being so agreeable?

"You're, not coming with me?" he asked tentatively.

Cheng Su replied, "Didn't you tell me not to go?"

Qi Taiguo stiffened, feeling somewhat displeased. When had she become so obedient? Before they were married, she had said many times that they should get married quickly so that they could love each other deeply later on and even have children together.

Now, however, she was putting on an indifferent front. Ha, was she addicted to playing this game of feigned disinterest?

Seeing the disdain in his gaze, Cheng Su couldn't help but say, "What are you looking at?"

Qi Taiguo wanted to needle her with a few words but seeing her innocent gaze, he huffily turned his head away and said, "Nothing."

Cheng Su gave an 'oh', then asked, "What's the military base like?"

Who knew that this question would elicit a sarcastic smile from Qi Taiguo's mouth, a look that said you couldn't hold back, could you?
