Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Second to None in the Limelight

In view of Cheng Su forcing Qi Taiguo to put on a display of affection in front of all the soldiers in the barracks, the next day everyone was giving him ambiguous smiles with raised eyebrows, saying how he and his "sister-in-law" had such a great relationship, making others envious. This turned Qi Taiguo’s face dark as a pot’s bottom, and in a mix of personal grudge and public duty, he added a ten-kilometer weighted run.

Summoned to Regimental Commander Mai’s office by his order, Qi Taiguo couldn’t escape yet another laughing bout: "Everyone says you and Comrade Cheng Su are very affectionate; they say even a man of Hundred-Refined Steel has his days of softness around his finger!"

Qi Taiguo was quite depressed and, with a hardened scalp, said, "Regimental Commander, please stop teasing me, I, this..."

He was so embarrassed he could hardly stand it, and not knowing what to say, his depression grew. He had to go back and give that woman a good talking to about principles; a man outside the home must look the part. Look at him now, his millennia of cultivation gone in one day!

Regimental Commander Mai spotted his embarrassment and said with a smile, "You don’t have to be embarrassed and blush; you are lawful husband and wife, a couple in love, which is something others envy and can’t hope for. Besides, a good relationship between husband and wife signifies peace in the back home, which can only benefit a man’s career in the front. Throughout history, hasn’t it been the same for officials? Comparatively, who has more advantage between a peaceful and a troubled household?"

Thinking about it, Qi Taiguo said, "That’s true, I know. It’s just that sometimes my wife can be so stubborn, insisting on going against me! I just can’t argue with her!"

Regimental Commander Mai burst out laughing, "I think Comrade Cheng Su is quite a character, even Chief Ning praises her; you’re a lucky man!"

Hearing this made Qi Taiguo puff out his chest, his eyes brimming with pride.

"Take a seat!" After some small talk, Regimental Commander Mai and Qi Taiguo sat separately on the office sofas for a conversation.

Qi Taiguo sat upright and proper.

"You did very well on your last mission; you’ve added another merit for the nation. This achievement will be recorded to your credit. When the next deputy battalion commander is promoted, you won’t be overlooked," Regimental Commander Mai said with a smile.
