Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After thinking for a while and failing to come up with an explanation, Chen Lan concluded that it was likely an oversight by the book’s author. She assumed that the wedding had been hastily organized, leading to the absence of furniture. With an awkward smile, she said, “It’s okay. When you have some time off, we can buy furniture together.”

He looked at her with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. He couldn’t help but feel that she was indescribably strange today. Could it be true, as she claimed, that she had reconsidered and wanted to live a good life with him?

However, remembering her previous lies, he shook his head in self-mockery.

He couldn’t help but feel that this woman might be up to something again. Maybe she had developed another liking for some expensive gift, and her current behavior was just a way to appear vulnerable to him, preparing to cheat money from him.

“No need to buy. It’s fine as it is. This way, we won’t have to worry about you selling all the furniture and appliances one day to buy gifts for someone else,” Tang Ye said with a sarcastic tone.

“What?” Chen Lan was confused by Tang Ye’s sarcastic words.

He set down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at her seriously. “Liang Chen has set his eyes on a motorcycle. Uncle Army didn’t give you the money, so you sold your jewelry, the furniture, and appliances from our marriage to buy it for him.”

Bringing up this matter, Tang Ye had grievances not only against his wife, Chen Lan, but also against his comrade, Liang Chen.

Liang Chen had someone he liked, the military doctor Fan Cong and they had been in a relationship for a while. This was one of the reasons why Liang Chen rejected Chen Lan’s pursuit.

But even though Liang Chen had a girlfriend and had clearly stated that he didn’t like Chen Lan, he had no qualms about accepting various gifts from her. Even after Tang Ye and Chen Lan had engaged, he still accepted such valuable gifts from her. Tang Ye couldn’t agree with such behavior.

Chen Lan was now thoroughly confused. What on earth had the original character set her sights on? He didn’t like her, yet he kept accepting the gifts. What kind of top-notch man was this?

“Well, I have not been thinking before, but I promise I won’t do that again in the future!” Chen Lan looked into Tang Ye’s eyes, raised her hand, and held up four fingers. “I swear!”

He watched her anxious demeanor and sighed, “Forget it, let’s eat.”

She nodded and quickly finished the remaining rice in her bowl. Then, she stood up, preparing to clear the table, a task she was used to doing.

However, before she could even touch the plates, Tang Ye grabbed her hand. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it.”

With that, he began clearing the table on his own.

“Let’s do it together.”

“No need.” He blocked Chen Lan’s hand once again. He always remembered her mother, Wang Lian, who had held his hand tearfully and given him countless reminders. She had said that Chen Lan had never faced hardship in her life, from childhood to adulthood, and she urged him to take good care of her after marriage and prevent her from suffering.

Chen Lan reluctantly withdrew her hand, feeling a bit awkward standing there. In the past, she used to clean up after meals on her own, and now, watching someone else do it made her feel at a loss.

He moved between the living room and the kitchen, busy with the task. She watched his diligent figure and suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of peace. He worked quickly and carefully, and it didn’t take long for him to neatly clean up the dishes.

“Alright, everything is cleaned up. I have to go to work now. There are many restaurants near the military family housing area; you can grab lunch there. I’ll come back to cook dinner tonight,” Tang Ye instructed softly.

Chen Lan nodded. Technically, he had been granted a week of leave for their wedding, but the original character didn’t want to see him. Therefore, she forced him into canceling his leave in advance before marriage. So, even though they had just gotten married, Tang Ye had to report back to the military base.

This matter had caused quite a stir, and many people were aware of it. Tang Ye had faced numerous rumors and gossip when he returned to work.

Chen Lan remembered that Liang Chen and Fan Cong had criticized those who spread rumors about this matter, portraying themselves as champions of justice. Therefore, the novel provided a clear description of the situation.

She knew that although Tang Ye didn’t care about the original character, he had ultimately lost face and credibility due to this incident. Coupled with the original character’s relentless actions afterward, he decided to divorce her after Chen Jun and his wife’s deaths, leaving the homeless original character uncared for.

Chen Lan walked up to him, raised her hand to tidy up his military uniform, and then, while he was still in a daze, she tiptoed and quickly kissed him on the cheek. “I’ll take care of myself. You focus on your work, handle any urgent matters, and when you have some free time, let’s make up for our wedding leave.”
