Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Rumors after Divorce 9_1

He Teng never expected that even Chen Ya’nan, the student who just came back last Friday, would overhear talk of a green hat. Seeing that He Zhilan’s expression remained calm, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, fearful that she would feel wronged and angry to the point of losing her appetite.

However, it now seemed that He Zhilan was having trouble eating because of the spiciness.

As for He Zhilan’s taste, He Teng had a pretty good understanding. She had the heart to eat spicy food, but not the constitution for it. A little bit of spice was okay, but too much would bring her to tears.

The chili sauce in the army was rather spicy since it was all homemade, which explained why He Teng didn’t add chili to He Zhilan’s dumplings and forbid her from taking any during Chinese New Year.

"You eat mine." He Teng hesitated for a moment, then switched his half-eaten bowl with He Zhilan’s. His years in the military had trained him to eat spicier food. Although not as good as Chen Zheng and his family, He Zhilan’s dumplings were still palatable to him.

He Teng really was He Zhilan’s savior. At this time, making dumplings was no small feat, as everyone lived frugally. She would have felt bad wasting a bowl of dumplings because of some chili.

"She can only dip a bit of chili oil with her chopsticks to taste it." He Teng explained to Chen Ya’nan, "She prefers light flavors."

"Is that so!" Only then did Chen Ya’nan speak again, nodding her head and taking another bite of the dumplings. Suddenly, she looked up at He Teng forcefully and asked after swallowing, "Uncle He, is it true they’re saying you divorced Aunt He because she made you wear a green hat? What’s wrong with that? Don’t all the men in our unit wear green hats all day long? Have you ever seen anyone wearing a hat of a different color? Even your clothes are green! What’s wrong with green? I think it looks quite nice. You look so handsome in your uniforms!"

Upon hearing Chen Ya’nan’s words, He Zhilan, who was drinking water due to the spiciness choked.

"Do you really think the green hat they spoke of is the same as the one on my head?" Chen Zheng was so irritated he almost spat out blood. "I tell you to study more and all you do is monkey around!"

"What, do books teach you how to cuckold your husband? Was that high school or college? Anyway, I didn’t get to that part. Aunt He, did you learn about it in college?" Chen Ya’nan asked earnestly.

He Zhilan was simply left speechless at Chen Ya’nan’s question.

Seeing no one answering her, Chen Ya’nan asked again, "Aunt He, did you make Uncle He wear a green hat? How? Did you not do it right and upset him?"

"Eat your food and stop asking so many questions!" Chen Zheng’s face turned ashen. Still, he had himself to blame. Who asked him to drag schoolwork into this kind of talk? Look, it ended up causing trouble, didn’t it?

The lunch was truly a nerve-wracking one for He Zhilan. She was worried that the curious and naive Chen Ya’nan would suddenly ask another shocking question. Fortunately, after being scolded a few times by Chen Zheng, although Chen Ya’nan was quite dissatisfied, she at least didn’t say anything more.

After leaving Chen Zheng’s home, He Zhilan kept observing He Teng’s expression in secret. However, his wooden face remained unresponsive until after she stared at him for a long time.

Still, all he did was raise his hand to touch his face, then looked at He Zhilan in confusion. "Is there something on my face?"
