2. Wedding night

In fact, the ladies of different families have nothing to envy for losing to the daughter of the Qiao family, a big silk family in Songxi City.

But then again, there was no lack of jealousy. That night, a few women gathered together and belittle Qiao Han, saying that she was only selected because of her family status, or that the Qiao family used their financial resources to force this marriage. Otherwise, why did Major General Leng, who has always been clean and self-righteous and not close to women, married her just after the filial piety was over.

What’s more, someone said Qiao Han should make sure that her delicate body do not crush under Major General Leng’s crotch which attracted a burst of laughter from the young ladies.

One of them, the daughter of a tobacco dealer named Li Ying, smiled, straightened her high-grade fur shawl on her shoulders, and said lazily, “So, don’t be discouraged. When the useless person is crushed to death, you and I will have another chance.”

The few people who listened, laughed even more presumptuously than before.

These socialites would not be willing to commit themselves to being concubines. If they wanted to marry Leng Feng, they would have to wait for the main wife to disappear.

At this time, Li Ying despised all the other socialites present in her heart, thinking that even if there was a chance, it would be her Li Ying’s, not theirs.

On the side of the Leng residence, bright red neon lights decorated the entire grand western-style building. It glowed red in the dark and the whole manor was filled with a festive atmosphere.

In the bathroom, Qiao Han, who had just taken a hot bath, felt that most of the fatigue from today’s wedding had been eliminated, but as she wiped her body, she felt nervous again thinking of the wedding room candles.

She had heard of Major General Leng Feng and she had admired him for a long time silently in her heart. After contacting him a few times, she found that he was quite graceful in his gestures, and not as coarse as some other soldiers, so she decided to marry him.

But they were not so familiar after all, and when she thought of “seeing each other wholeheartedly” in a while, she was embarrassed to walk out of the bathroom.

After drying her body, Qiao Han was about to put on her clothes when she realized that she had forgotten to take in her pajamas. She couldn’t go out naked like this, so she had to ask Leng Feng for help. He was in the master bedroom outside the bathroom.

She must have been so nervous that she forgot to take her pajamas when she went to bath!

“Leng…Major General?” After hesitating for a long time, Qiao Han leaned against the bathroom door and tried to shout.

She didn’t know what to call him, so she used the name that she used to call him before marriage.

“What’s the matter?” Leng Feng was sorting out a document in front of the desk in the bedroom and answered.

“I…forgot to take in my pajamas. They’re in the drawer of the wardrobe, can you take it for me?” Qiao Han said daringly and after hearing him pushing away the chair and walking, she quickly added, “Take whatever you want. Just one!”

Today, during the daytime, her servant gave her clothes to the maids in the mansion and put them in the wardrobe in the bedroom.

Leng Feng opened the wardrobe. In the past, there was only his clothes in this large wardrobe, and most of them were all kinds of monotonous dark or solid military uniforms. Now there were suddenly many colourful women’s clothes and a faint unfamiliar fragrance. He frowned and was not used to it for a while.

Pajamas…

Leng Feng opened the drawer, and there were a wide range of women’s pajamas rolled up like a tie, and most of them were made of silk. He casually picked out a roll of conspicuous purple pajamas from the few yarn products, and knocked at the door in front of the bathroom.

Qiao Han opened the door in a small crack and reached out to take the pajamas from his hand, “Thank you.”
