A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

Upon hearing his superior's words, Song Wenyuan was initially flustered, but recalling their interactions over the past few times, he quickly calmed down.

"She's not like that."

He considered himself to be quite handsome, but his wife was not affected at all and even deliberately kept her distance from him.

Based on this alone, Song Wenyuan did not believe that his wife would be seduced by someone else.

Li Bowen originally called with the intention of seeing his subordinate make a fool of himself, so how could he let him off so easily?

"You think I'm lying to you? Just now, several people came to ask me about it, and some even wanted to introduce the battalion commander to her! If you don't keep a close eye on her, she might run away any day."

Song Wenyuan fell silent.

Normally, he wouldn't be afraid at all.

He's getting promoted too. Those with higher positions aren't as handsome as him, and those who are more handsome don't have higher positions.

However, he is currently on a mission and cannot reveal his identity.

He can't use his character Chen Hai to compete with those blind fools for women, can he?

Li Bowen continued, "Speaking of which, you've sent her several letters. Did she really not recognize you?"

“No,” Song Wenyuan said in a deep voice.

He even tried to test it, but the other party genuinely didn't recognize his handwriting.

"I saw that you two had a good chat in the letter. Do you think that if you spend more time together, she might be attracted to your status and then divorce you?"

Song Wenyuan was not surprised that his superiors knew the contents of his and his wife's letters, as all letters sent to the military and to him were subject to inspection.

But when he tried to imagine the scene his leader described, he couldn't help but shudder.

Even though he was not at fault, how is this any different from him undermining his own partner?

I feel like I'm being chilled by the green light above my head.

He subtly changed the subject: "Commander, you said last time you'd send someone back to go through the procedures ahead of time. How's that going? Any news?"

"It's a long way off, at least a month."

After chatting with his subordinates for a while, Li Bowen said seriously, "Alright, enough joking, let's get down to business. The situation in the south has become increasingly tense these past few days. In just three days, they've crossed the border four times. I don't believe they haven't taken action within our ranks. These bastards love to cause trouble when we're on holiday. I hope you're not having any problems?"

"No," Song Wenyuan replied. "The ship will stop tomorrow. I've stationed sentries at all suitable landing sites to ensure not even a fly can get in!"

"Okay. I'll temporarily send a team over later. You'll be in charge of making the arrangements. There can't be any mistakes on the island these next two days."

"receive."

Li Bowen trusted his subordinate very much, and afterwards he didn't forget to give him a reward: "Do a good job, and I'll approve your leave when you come back."

"Yes."

Li Bowen clicked his tongue.

This is how he usually acts as a subordinate; his sudden return to the army that night because his wife had gone missing was an unusual act.

However, he was still quite happy to see another side of his subordinates, which meant that they regarded him as someone they could trust.

On the other side, Anning finally finished dealing with a bunch of people who wanted to get to know her, and hid in a corner with her child.

Everyone says this era is conservative, but she just told everyone that she is already married and has children, yet quite a few gay men still said they could be friends with her.

It's unclear whether they genuinely wanted to be friends with her or had other motives.

Seeing her disheveled appearance, Zhao Xuemei couldn't help but laugh: "It's a pity your husband is away on a mission. He should really see how popular his wife is, so he'll learn to cherish her in the future."

The words were well-intentioned, but An Ning had long been prepared to divorce Song Wenyuan, and Zhao Xuemei's words left her unsure how to respond.

I just smiled and changed the subject.

"Look, it's Tang Qiuqiao and the others' turn."

The reason they didn't leave after their performance was partly to wait for the children's show, and partly to see how Tang Qiuqiao's show went.

To dare to declare that he wants to challenge them, he must think he's very good, but I wonder what the reality is.

The curtain on the stage was drawn back again, and Tang Qiuqiao and Qiao Shanshan appeared on stage in their costumes.

Zhao Xuemei curled her lip: "Isn't this just opera? Why call it a stage play?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Tang Qiuqiao on the stage opened her mouth, leaving everyone stunned.

It's clear they've tried their best to blend Peking Opera with stage plays, but unfortunately the adaptation wasn't quite right.

Moreover, Tang Qiuqiao's acting skills were terrible, and her soft Wu dialect completely failed to portray the heroic spirit of the Yang family's female generals. Instead, she gave people a timid and hesitant feeling.

Qiao Shanshan was alright, quite generous, but lacking dance skills and corresponding music, her performance was extremely monotonous.

However, the audience was clearly seeing this kind of show for the first time. Even if they felt the performance wasn't particularly good, they still gave it a round of applause because the stage was full of women.

However, this applause was far less than the applause that Anning and her team received at the end of their performance; it was sparse and quickly stopped.

When Tang Qiuqiao stepped off the stage, she glared at An Ning and the others, and left with a livid face without even saying goodbye to the other members of the show.

The military wives in Anning's group came over and said, "Why do I feel like she's not angry because the performance wasn't good?"

Zhao Xuemei replied with a smile: "Of course she wasn't angry that her performance wasn't good. She probably thought she performed very well, but the audience was blind and didn't give her a warm round of applause."

An Ning added, "She created this show specifically to target us. Now that the rehearsal is over and the show isn't as good as ours, she's probably thinking..."

Before Anning could finish speaking, someone bumped into her shoulder.

Then, she saw Qiao Shanshan, dressed in theatrical costume, walking towards her with a smile not far away.

"Hello, Comrade Anning, I am Qiao Shanshan. I have heard my uncle mention you before."

Despite being performers on the same show, Qiao Shanshan's poised and confident demeanor made her more likely to win over others compared to Tang Qiuqiao.

"Hello, may I ask who your uncle is?" An Ning asked, feigning ignorance.

Qiao Shanshan seemed friendly, but An Ning's intuition told her that she wasn't as simple as she appeared.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you haven't been in the army for very long." Qiao Shanshan said apologetically. "My uncle is Li Bowen."

"Nice to meet you," An Ning said. "After I came to the army, Commander Li helped me a lot. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't know where I would be right now."

"Comrade Anning, you're too modest. My uncle told me you're a great hero of our unit! I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but I never expected you to be so talented in acting! To be honest, I was quite confident about our performance today, but after watching yours, I realize it's completely incomparable..."

After praising An Ning and her friends' performance, Qiao Shanshan left with her companions.

Only a few people remained, confused and bewildered.

"She came all the way here just to praise us?"

"I feel that Commander Li's niece is quite nice. I don't know why she's hanging out with Tang Qiuqiao."

"It looks alright, but I always feel like something's off."
