Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Jiang Yao nodded and sat down on the chair. Then, she asked, "What business does Commissar Wang have with me?"

Commissar Wang looked at the 19-year-old girl in front of him. She looked obedient and well-behaved. She did not seem like the kind of girl mentioned in the report. Commissar Wang's attitude toward Jiang Yao was quite good because he thought she was capable. He did not treat her like a criminal. He did not want to scare Lu Xingzhi's wife; it would be difficult to explain to Lu Xingzhi later.

"I just want to understand the situation between you and Lu Xingzhi. There is a rumor in the army about you and Sergeant Lu, and it has a great impact on the army's morale and your personal reputation. So, I wanted to understand the situation." Commissar Wang said, "Yesterday, the soldier on duty said that he carried a boy from the entrance. Later, you and Sergeant Lu took him from the army overnight. Where is the child now?"

"The police station," Jiang Yao said matter-of-factly. "The army is not an orphanage. We can't just throw a child at the barracks entrance randomly and expect our soldiers to raise them, right? The child's mother abandoned the child. Since we've met her, we decided to hand the child to the police station. The police station will contact the child's family and let them take him back."

"That's true." Commissar Wang nodded. He felt that Jiang Yao's words were very reasonable. It was best to hand that matter over to the police.

However, Commissar Wang asked a few more questions regarding the child's identity. "I heard that the child has a relationship with Sergeant Lu?"

"Commissar Wang, do you really think that that baby is Lu Xingzhi's illegitimate child?" Jiang Yao raised her eyes and looked at Commissar Wang with an aggrieved expression. "Commissar Wang, do you also think that I am the kind of woman who would snatch another woman's husband?"

When she asked that question, Jiang Yao lowered her eyes slightly, and then her tears fell uncontrollably. "I was only 18 when I married Xingzhi. Before I married him, I only met him once. That was when he came to propose marriage to me. Not only did my parents disagree, but I also did not agree. I was only 18 years old, and all I wanted to do was study hard and strive to get into a good university to honor my parents. I also wanted to have a plan for my future. So how could I have any thoughts about dating someone?"

The more Jiang Yao spoke, the more pitiful and aggrieved she appeared. She did not even stop crying for a second. "Besides, Lu Xingzhi is a soldier. How many times does he go home in a year? "I'm also someone who studies all day long. So how could I have any interaction with him? "Most importantly, when I married Lu Xingzhi, he had already canceled his engagement with Chen Lanying for a long time. So how did Lu Xingzhi abandon Chen Lanying because of me?"

Commissar Wang really did not expect that the woman, who was usually smiling, would cry after just a few words. Instead, the young woman sat there with her hands placed on her knees obediently. She lowered her eyes as she cried. She even bit her lower lip gently when she spoke. Her tiny face was deathly pale due to her emotions.

Commissar Wang was dumbfounded. That young woman was the same age as his daughter. He was a man; he was afraid when any woman cried in front of him.
