Cheng Su tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep because of a dress, feeling utterly frustrated.
Qi Taiguo said, "Since you’ve started doing business, I’ve never seen you suffer over money or struggle because of an item. Now, just because of a dress, you can’t seem to let it go, even losing sleep over it?"
Cheng Su sat up, hugging the quilt, and said, "You should know that I don’t fret over money or material possessions, so you should understand that what I can’t stand isn’t about this dress. It’s that we all live in one big courtyard, and someone is doing such sneaky things; isn’t it shameful?"
Qi Taiguo also sat up and said, "Alright, alright, don’t be angry anymore. Maybe someone was just careless and picked it up by mistake?"
Cheng Su snorted and set her face, "You and I both know that excuse doesn’t hold up!"
"Then shall I buy you a new one?"
"Your money is my money," said Cheng Su as she pinched a muscle in his arm, but it was so tough that she couldn’t even squeeze it and just let it go, adding, "My dress was tailored for me; you can’t just buy another one like that. Besides, it’s not like I lack for dresses, it’s just that I..."
I know, I know, you’re just disappointed with people’s hearts," Qi Taiguo finished for her.
"Good that you understand!" Cheng Su sighed deeply, "Let me tell you, with this kind of thing happening, the person who took the dress either became greedy or simply doesn’t like me. Either way, it’s disgusting. If it’s greed, that’s one thing, but if they don’t like me, they should just come out and say it."
"That’s human nature. In the army, there are plenty who don’t like me, Qi Taiguo, who think I don’t have enough experience or don’t deserve my achievements. There are many who hate and resent me! We’re just one person; we can’t be liked by everyone," Qi Taiguo sighed.
Cheng Su raised an eyebrow, "Oh, even Commander Qi is preaching to me!"
