Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Venting Anger or Seeking a Son-in-law?

Cheng Su felt a bit baffled. Why did they need to speak outside, in the bitter cold, where the wind was so sharp it stung the skin.

"What can’t be said in the office?" Cheng Su put her hands in her pockets, looking at his grim expression, she couldn’t help but feel her heart leap, "What’s happened?"

Ning Ge glanced over, saying, "Don’t panic when you hear it."

His words only added to Cheng Su’s anxiety. Was he intentionally keeping her on tenterhooks to make her anxious, or what?

"Just spit it out, what are you hemming and hawing for?"

Ning Ge replied, "I heard it from my big brother. It’s about the border defense rotation, and Big Brother Qi’s name is on the list."

Cheng Su was taken aback. What did that mean?

"The border gets a rotation every three years. If he really goes, it won’t be until three years later that there’s a chance to return," Ning Ge added.

So this meant Qi Taiguo was to defend the border? And once gone, it would be for three years?

And did this mean that she and her husband would have to endure a long-distance relationship?

Cheng Su’s heart tightened. She had been here for quite a while, and had experienced Qi Taiguo going on missions several times, but those were short-term. Now, a long-term deployment?

What was she supposed to do?

Cheng Su began to feel rather helpless. She could understand Qi Taiguo going on missions, but guarding the border was something she hadn’t considered.

The borderlands, harsh conditions, massive temperature differences morning and night—it’s always been said that the borderlands are a place of bitter cold, this...

"Is it decided?" Cheng Su looked at Ning Ge, unable to settle her heart.

Seeing her so distraught and clueless, Ning Ge thought to himself that she had this side too. He always imagined her as someone who was calm and confident!

Yet here she was, so vulnerable, and all because of her husband!

Ning Ge sighed softly to himself. Was it because of love?

"He’s just on the nomination list. You don’t have to worry too much. I’ve also spoken to my big brother about it, to see if he can suppress it," Ning Ge consoled.

Cheng Su’s eyes brightened slightly, grabbing his sleeve, "Can it still be suppressed?"

"That depends on Big Brother Qi’s skills," Ning Ge shrugged.

Cheng Su’s relief faded again, saying disconsolately, "I see. But why all of a sudden is he needed to defend the border?"

With a cold snort, Ning Ge said, "He brought trouble upon himself. Now he’s being grilled over it by others!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Su felt something was off and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Do you know who put his name on the list?" Ning Ge looked at her with a sidelong glance, not waiting for a response before continuing, "It’s Jiang Conghe."

"Jiang Conghe, who is that? Jiang... Jiang?" Cheng Su muttered, an idea flashing in her mind, and her eyes widened, "You better not tell me, it’s that vixen Chiang Qing’s dad?"

A flicker of admiration showed in Ning Ge’s eyes, "You aren’t dumb."

Cheng Su glared at him, too preoccupied to bicker, and asked with a dark face, "What’s going on? How did that Jiang, Jiang Conghe set his sights on our Old Qi?"

"What do you think?"

Cheng Su, not being foolish, contemplated briefly before asking, "Is he trying to teach Old Qi a lesson, or is he trying to snag a success for his vixen daughter?"

"Jiang Conghe cares about his reputation, and he loves his daughter. From what I can see right now, he’s more out for revenge. I’m guessing Chiang Qing made things clear to them at home. Jiang Conghe, furious with embarrassment and fearing his daughter might sink deeper, simply decided to dispatch Big Brother Qi," Ning Ge said with a shrug.

Cheng Su laughed bitterly from anger, "What shameless people, like a stinky pot producing foul weeds. Like father, like daughter. That little vixen Chiang Qing, just wait until I get my hands on her!"
