"When I was getting my hair done in Boss Xu's shop, I kept hearing some noise from next door. It was very noisy, so I chatted with Boss Xu for a while," Chen Fengying said. "Boss Xu told me that the shop next door was being renovated and they were going to open one."

The street became more and more prosperous, with more and more people coming and going. It was not a new thing that people renovated and opened shops one after another. Under normal circumstances, Xu Zhiyi would not mention it specifically.

The new boss next door has made quite a splash. He has rented three storefronts in a row and connected them together to open a big store. If it really opens, it will definitely be very grand, and no matter what they sell, it will be good for their street.

But Xu Zhiyi also said——

"...Boss Xu said that she asked the workers next door and it seems that the new boss is also going to open a grocery store!"

"Is it also a grocery store?" Chu Yue frowned tightly.

Chen Fengying nodded repeatedly, her newly curled hair swaying.

"That's right! They made such a big fuss, and opened a grocery store right across from your store. Isn't this obviously stealing your business? Boss Xu even asked if you had offended anyone? But we are fine, how could we have offended anyone? Would they open a store specifically to embarrass you? This is too weird. But if it's true... what should we do? That store is so big, and you can tell at a glance that it is wealthy. Sister Chu, you..."

"It's okay." Seeing Chen Fengying's worried face, Chu Yue patted Chen Fengying's shoulder and comforted her as usual, "It's not certain whether it will open a grocery store or not. It's just a guess. Don't worry about it. It's not a big deal. I don't care."

"You...you..." Chen Fengying looked at Chu Yue who was calm and composed, and she really admired her. "You are so generous! No wonder Doctor Hao wanted you to be his military doctor! Sister Chu, you are different from the rest of us."

Chu Yue smiled faintly.

Although she comforted Chen Fengying, she actually appreciated Xu Zhiyi's kind reminder in her heart.

In the current social environment, grocery stores are far from reaching the level of large supermarkets in the future. Most of the grocery stores on the market are small shops like Chu Yue.

Now, there are people who are making such a big fuss and creating such a grand event just to make a little money, which is even more grand than Pei's Katherine's Cake Shop.

If you think about it carefully, it's easy to think that the other party has bad intentions.

And Xu Zhiyi also asked, maybe Chu Yue had offended someone?

Her guess coincided with Chu Yue's.

The previous incident of small hooligans in the downtown area was easily resolved by Chu Yue, but in the final analysis, there was someone who instructed it, and who the mastermind behind it was has not been found out yet.

This would make sense if the owner of a new store opposite that was about to open hired thugs deliberately to destroy her store's business and seize the market.

I never thought that such a small street would lead to such dirty "business war" tactics.

At this moment, Chu Yue only thought of this and had not yet realized who the real big tiger hiding behind was and what the real purpose was.

"mom!"

Chen Dazhuang ran towards Chen Fengying. Seeing Chen Fengying coming back, he shouted happily. However, after getting closer, his pace slowed down unconsciously. He looked up at Chen Fengying and did not pounce on her at once.

Chen Fengying had finished talking to Chu Yue about the important matters. She stroked her hair and said to Chen Dazhuang, "Son, what are you looking at? You have played with Yuanbao for a whole day. You can't disturb Captain Lu's family anymore. Come on, come back with your mother."

Chen Dazhuang looked at the familiar clothes on Chen Fengying and listened to Chen Fengying's iconic voice, but then he looked at Chen Fengying's face and hair...his round head was full of question marks.

"Are you...really my mother?"

If she had heard such impolite words under normal circumstances, given Chen Fengying's impetuous temper, she would have immediately scolded Chen Dazhuang.

But today...

Chen Fengying happily touched her hair and said, "If I am not your mother, who else could I be? Did you jump out from a crack in the stone? Has mom become more beautiful today?"

"Yeah, mom is beautiful!" Chen Dazhuang answered loudly first.

After hearing this, Chen Fengying burst into laughter and pulled Chen Dazhuang to say, "Not bad, you finally say what I like to hear. Let's go home and I'll make you braised pork belly. Sister Chu, we're leaving. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, Sister Chen."

Chu Yue watched Chen Fengying and her son leave happily, then looked at Lu Yuanbao, "Yuanbao, did you have fun today?"

"Happy." Lu Yuanbao nodded.

Chu Yue touched his head, then took his hand, and they walked home. "Just be happy, let's go home and cook. Mom bought some spareribs today, so we can make braised spareribs. You and your dad both love this."

Lu Yuanbao walked a few steps, then suddenly looked up and said to Chu Yue, "Mom, you still look the most beautiful even without having to style your hair."

It’s amazing that Lu Yuanbao can even talk to make Chu Yue happy.

Chu Yue was extremely pleased, "My Yuanbao is really good at talking. Yes, every mother is the most beautiful."

At night, in the young couple’s room.

Chu Yue turned over again.

When Lu Zhanlin sensed this, he put his arms around her waist and the two of them moved closer.

Chu Yue had never thought that there would be a day when she would toss and turn. Xu Zhiyi's reminder kept lingering in her mind. This was the biggest problem Chu Yue had encountered since she traveled through time.

She whispered, "Zhan Lin, did I wake you up?"

Lu Zhanlin kissed her forehead and asked, "Wife, do you have any worries? You can tell me. We are husband and wife, and we should bear the responsibilities for each other."

"There is something I can't figure out, but there are too few clues right now. Or maybe I'm thinking too much." Chu Yue was very happy with Lu Zhanlin's thoughtfulness. She looked up and kissed the corner of his mouth. "Don't worry. If there is something that I can't solve, I will be the first to tell you. After all, you are my big backer."

Lu Zhanlin confirmed again, "Will you really tell me instead of taking the risk yourself?"

It turned out that the man was secretly settling the score for her thigh injury that she had suffered before. It was obvious that the man took advantage of her and ate the meat, but he still wanted to settle the score with her later. He has really learned a bad lesson.

The cold man at the beginning turned out to be sinister.

For Lu Zhanlin, the time Chu Yue was missing and he later saw them admitted to the hospital, the feeling of being worried about his lover's safety was even more stressful than when he was on the battlefield.

He didn't want it to happen again, and he didn't want Chu Yue to be in danger again.

"Really, I swear." Chu Yue promised softly.

In the dim room, the couple huddled close to each other. As the weather grew hotter, they wore simple pajamas and their quilts became thinner and thinner. Only their hot body temperatures remained unchanged.

Chu Yue raised her eyes and asked in a sweet voice, "Are you still sleeping?"
