Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Doctor Chiang, You’ve Crossed the Line

After leaving the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Cheng Su saw the watch box in the bag and suddenly stopped in her tracks. This really was enough—hadn’t she just had an argument with Qi Taiguo? Why was she still thinking about buying him a gift?

She remembered the complaints she’d heard from other women before: when angry with their husbands or children, they would go out and, upon seeing something, still think of buying it for them. It seems to be a woman’s nature.

Had she become one of those women?

Cheng Su was rather speechless and let out a sigh, shoving the box to the bottom and covering it with some other items. Only then did she feel content as she headed to the restaurant.

Qi Taiguo was also quite frustrated. He could not understand Cheng Su’s blowing things out of proportion at all. He thought that perhaps he was indeed like what his mother said—too indulgent with her usually, which had spoiled her into such capricious behavior.

While thinking this, he decided not to encourage this bad tendency and that it was time for Cheng Su to do some self-reflection.

But no sooner had this thought arisen than he recalled the scene of Cheng Su running away. She had never done anything like that before; could it be that he too had gone too far? Her pride was so strong, but that unyielding appearance of hers was just like last time.

If she didn’t come home...

Inside Qi Taiguo’s mind, it was as if there were two little figures, one telling him not to spoil her and the other urging him to admit his fault. Their constant tug-of-war left him feeling increasingly agitated.

Knock knock.

The door was knocked on.

"Come in," Qi Taiguo sat in his chair, not lifting his head.

The door was pushed open, and a fragrant breeze wafted in. Qi Taiguo furrowed his brow and looked up, and there was Chiang Qing, as expected, full of charm.

She was wearing a military uniform inside and had draped a white doctor’s coat over it. A cross armband was still on her arm, and her smile was bright.

"Commander Qi."

"Doctor Chiang, what can I do for you?" Qi Taiguo nodded politely.

"Nothing much, just that our Health Center is short of a batch of antibiotics. I’ve already made contact and need to go to the neighboring city to pick them up. I’m not sure if Commander Qi could give me a lift?" Chiang Qing said with a smile.

Qi Taiguo frowned, replying, "Shouldn’t there be a specialized procurement department to deliver these medical supplies?"

Chiang Qing’s eyes flickered, and she explained, "This is a new reagent. It has stronger sedative and antimicrobial properties. I want to oversee it personally, since it’s all going to be used on soldiers. I don’t want any mishaps on the way."

Antimicrobial properties? Qi Taiguo was utterly a layman on the subject, but there was one thing he cared about—it was for the soldiers.

Soldiers are people, and people are the foundation, and so is the foundation of Taiguo. Cultivating outstanding soldiers is no easy feat, which is why he has always valued this.

"This matter requires me to seek approval from the Company Commander and the Battalion Commander," Qi Taiguo hesitated before saying, "As for who will be dispatched to follow up, that’s not for me to decide."

Chiang Qing nodded understandingly, "I am aware of the procedure. Thank you, Commander Qi. I know you’re skilled, and if you could escort me, I would really be at ease."

Qi Taiguo replied with customary politeness, "In our army, there are also many elites. Whomever is assigned, please be assured, Doctor Chiang."

Chiang Qing gave a slight smile.

Qi Taiguo said nothing more, expecting her to leave on her own. However, Chiang Qing didn’t seem to have any intention of getting up, prompting him to look up again, "Doctor Chiang, is there anything else?"

"Commander Qi seems to be troubled? Your brows are almost knit into a ’chuan’ character!" Chiang Qing said.

Qi Taiguo was taken aback and then became somewhat aloof. This was his private matter, and his relationship with this Chiang Qing was merely a normal one between colleagues. Wasn’t her overstepping the mark somewhat inappropriate?

"Doctor Chiang, if there’s no other official business, please return. I still have a report to write!" Qi Taiguo did not answer the question and instead put particular emphasis on the word ’official.’

Chiang Qing paused for a moment, her smile stiffening slightly. After giving him a deep look, she stood up and left.
