Turning Antagonist to Protagonist: He is Both Soft and Fierce-Chapter 342 - 337: Your Wife and Many Men...

Guang Kun got up in the dark, just about to enter the kitchen to light the oil lamp, only to find it already lit, with a man rolling up his sleeves and kneading dough. He quickly ran over. "Boss, let me help."

"No need, go get the other preparations done." Song Tingfan finished kneading the dough and then prepared the egg whites. As the sky turned fish belly white, the first batch of cakes was already steamed.

However, Lin Qiao hadn’t woken up yet.

By the time Song Tingfan headed to the camp, she still hadn’t woken up.

When she finally woke up, the main hall was already bustling, but seeing Guang Kun busy in the kitchen, she let out a slight sigh of relief and then said to the helper, "Brother Da Yu, please lend an extra hand in the kitchen today."

"Okay." Da Yu nodded, then remembered something and added, "Boss, I’ll bring you some food."

"No need, you all keep busy."

"That’s not right. The boss mentioned it before he left."

Hastily, Da Yu went to the kitchen and brought out some food for her to eat at the counter.

...

Military Camp

After archery practice, Gao Qiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and nudged Zhou Fu’an, signaling him to hurry and ask.

Zhou Fu’an glared at him, impatiently, and then cautiously approached Song Tingfan, "General, can I ask you something?"

Song Tingfan glanced at him, spitting out two words, "You can’t."

Zhou Fu’an: "..."

He hesitated for a moment, then directly asked, "General, who made the first move between you and your wife? Who seduced whom... cough, who was interested in whom first?"

Song Tingfan started walking away, clearly not wanting to engage with him.

"General, don’t go yet. Lately, there’s been talk in the camp that your wife seduced you. I said it’s not true, but they wouldn’t believe me and insisted I ask you." Zhou Fu’an quickly followed him.

Upon hearing this, Song Tingfan stopped and asked, "Who’s spreading these rumors?"

Zhou Fu’an couldn’t help but shrink back, quickly distancing himself, "New recruits, I don’t know who exactly."

"What else did they say?"

"They also said you and your wife are in an uncle-in-law and niece-in-law relationship, and that your wife has been involved with many men..."

"Get lost!"

"I’ll get lost right away, don’t be angry, I didn’t say it."

Zhou Fu’an ran quite a distance before heaving a sigh of relief, patting his chest, "Gosh, that was terrifying, how can the General have such a frightening look."

At this time, Gao Qiang and the others gathered around, "How did it go?"

"What do you think? I almost got skinned alive."

Zhou Fu’an, after catching his breath, lied with a straight face, "The General said he was the one who made the first move on his wife."

After all, no one would dare to verify it with him.

"I knew it, we’ve got three days of free booze coming." Gao Qiang gleefully remarked.

"Are you sure that’s what the General said?"

"You don’t trust me? Why would I lie to you? If you can’t play, don’t gamble. If you don’t believe me, go ask the General yourself."

...

Inn

As soon as Lin Qiao stepped out of the shop planning to go buy a helper from the brokers, she was stopped on the street by the rumored third female lead.

The invincible cockroach — Qin Wuli.

"You’re not worthy of Song Tingfan, they say you’ve been involved with many men? You’re filthy."

Involved with many men?

How could she not know?

Lin Qiao’s mouth twitched as she rolled her eyes, sharply retorting, "You’re clean, you’re worthy, but he doesn’t want you."

Even the antagonist wants to poison you.

She spared her from harm, yet Qin Wuli didn’t appreciate it. If the antagonist wanted to poison her again, Lin Qiao would just hand over the poison to keep Qin Wuli, the toad, in check.

Ahem, just saying.

Qin Wuli, who engaged with men all the time, was no match for Lin Qiao in an argument. Her face flushed red and, after a long silence, she bit out a non-committal response, "A woman like you should be put in a pig’s cage."

"Why should I? I think it’s you who should be put in a pig’s cage, knowing Song Tingfan has a wife and still shamelessly approaching."

"You have no shame, seducing your brother-in-law, lowly."

"Well, even if I’m lowly, he’s still willing to marry me. Not like you, he wouldn’t glance your way even if you stripped naked. Let me tell you, instead of wasting your time with me, find a hermit to fix your face, and then your chest."

Qin Wuli did not expect her to say such wanton, shameless words. If Lin Qiao knew what she was thinking, she would surely scoff. This is nothing, she could be even more "wanton."

"Song Tingfan, did you hear that? She’s deceiving you!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiao stiffly turned her head. The tall man was standing just a step or two away, "..."

Damnable third female lead, deserved to be poisoned.

She quickly thought on her feet, her eyes watering, as if deeply aggrieved, "Were you two testing me together?"

"No, it’s noon." Song Tingfan walked over to explain.

He just happened to return and come across the conversation.

"I don’t believe it. She’s here, and you’re here. You must have planned this. Song Tingfan, I told you I don’t accept concubines, and you promised me. If you can’t keep it, then we..." Lin Qiao glanced at him with grievance, then quickly walked past him.

Song Tingfan hurried to hold her back, "You’re overthinking."

"I’m not overthinking, you want to marry her."

"I don’t."

"You do."

"I don’t."

"Yes, you do, you definitely do."

"I don’t."

Lin Qiao almost couldn’t keep up the act. She glared at him, then cast a glance at the third female lead behind, "Then tell me, between her and me, who’s better?"

"You are." Song Tingfan pursed his lips and added, "She has nothing to do with me."

Behind them, Qin Wuli’s face turned askew with anger. This little minx, still flirting with Song Tingfan in front of all these people.

Lin Qiao naturally noticed and mentally scoffed, hoping to frustrate her to no end, saving her from constantly stirring up drama.

"Tingfan, carry me, my foot hurts."

Song Tingfan crouched down and carried her on his back. As they passed by Qin Wuli, Lin Qiao provocatively raised her eyebrows at her.

Think about who she is, the second female lead once slammed online as a white lotus.

Soon, she wouldn’t be able to act smug anymore.

Back in the shop rear room, Song Tingfan placed her on the bed, pursing his lips, "No pretending to be sick in the future."

Clearly, he knew her foot wasn’t hurting.

Lin Qiao looked slightly sheepish, unconsciously rubbing her nose, softly saying, "Ahem, Tingfan, I was just unhappy and lied."

"She said that I didn’t deserve to marry you, I know I’m not worthy..."

Before she could finish, she began to cry miserably, which was somewhat heartbreaking.

Song Tingfan’s tone softened significantly, "I’m not blaming you. In the future, just say you want me to carry you, no need for excuses."

"I was worried you wouldn’t carry me, and then she’d laugh at me again." Lin Qiao’s skillful emotional manipulation was in full play.

"I wouldn’t."

Seeing her cry like a tearful mess, Song Tingfan felt a bit distressed, raising his hand to wipe away her tears, then bending down to kiss her.

Lin Qiao: "..."

Ever since she let him kiss her to cheer up, he just assumes a kiss would fix everything.

Fine, his looks do make it acceptable.

She calmed down a bit, "Kissing doesn’t help, you need to stay away from her, or I’ll leave with the kids."

Song Tingfan nodded, his gaze resting on her pretty face, feeling a slight flutter in his heart. She cared about him...

Someone cared about him...

Their thoughts were clearly not aligned, but not a bit did it affect the bond between them.
