"What? She's actually in Beijing!"

Dong Wenhua was taken aback by her daughter's words. The thought that Dong Lianxin was in Beijing made her lose her composure.

"Xiao Ning, is everything you're saying true? Are you sure you haven't made a mistake? If she's been in Beijing all these years, why hasn't the Dong family been able to find her?"

"Mom, I didn't explain it clearly to you. Lin Sisi said that her family used to be from Jinshi, and her father was probably transferred here recently. Mom, you need to find out quickly if that woman is Dong Lianxin. If she is, you absolutely cannot let Grandpa and Uncle recognize her. Once they come home, we will definitely be ostracized. If that mother and daughter also don't like us, we may not have a good life."

Dong Wenhua tried hard to suppress her panic, her fingers gripping the phone handle tightly.

"Xiao Ning, I understand. Mom will find a way to keep them out of this house. I'll go investigate now to see if that woman is really Dong Lianxin. Wait for my news."

"Okay, Mom."

Thanks to the efforts of the soldiers and a dozen military spouses, enough raw materials for the first batch of hemostatic drugs have been collected. The troops have also purchased two more expensive medicinal herbs from pharmacies.

Next came the processing of the herbs. Lin Qingyan was needed as a technical guide during the processing, which kept her extremely busy these days. Every evening after Lu Zhengting got off work, he would take a detour to the hospital to pick up Lin Qingyan.

Because of his striking appearance and outstanding abilities and reputation in the military, most people in the military knew him, and even many staff members in the hospital knew him.

However, the reason people are paying attention to him now is not because of his attractive qualities, but because he is Lin Qingyan's lover.

Every time he went to the hospital to see Lin Qingyan, the nurses and doctors would call him "Dr. Lin's lover".

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and the first batch of hemostatic drugs had been produced. Lu Zhengting was about to set off to carry out his mission.

The day before Lu Zhengting set off, Lin Qingyan finally had some free time.

Because she had been quite tired in the past few days, the hospital gave her a day off to rest at home.

She remembered that Lu Zhengting was leaving tomorrow, so she helped him pack his luggage and even wanted to cook him a nice meal.

At noon, Lu Zhengting returned home, and she said to him, "I'll host a farewell dinner for you tonight. You're going with Brother Yidong this time, so invite him too."

"Okay, honey, thank you for your hard work. But I'm off this afternoon too, let's do it together."

"Okay." She wrapped her arms around his neck and straddled him: "I've fed you well, so even if you leave, you must think of me every day."

"Honey, I really wish I could keep that guy at home for you to use."

"Get out of my way!" Lin Qingyan blushed instantly and let go of him. "Who told you that?"

The man chuckled and pinched his wife's bottom: "Honey, we've been married for so long, why are you still shy? Besides, there's no one else here, can't we just have a private chat?"

"You can talk, you can talk, go ahead and say it, let's see what else you can say."

"I'm not going to say anything more. I'll do it tonight; that's when I'll really enjoy it."

Because Lu Zhengting was at home, Lin Qingyan couldn't easily take out ingredients from her spatial storage. Fortunately, she had already taken out some vegetables in the morning. In the afternoon, they went to the military supply and marketing cooperative to buy pork and tofu. When they passed by Feng Yidong's dormitory, Lu Zhengting went in and told Feng Yidong about having dinner at his house that evening. Feng Yidong remembered the delicious food he had eaten at Lu Zhengting's house last time, which immediately whetted his appetite.

"Battalion Commander, I'll go help right now."

"It's still early, you should get some rest. We'll go for dinner tonight. My wife and I will prepare it, you don't need to worry about it, you can just eat."

He's going to be away for a while, so he needs to spend some quality time with his wife; otherwise, he'll just be a third wheel.

Feng Yidong was deeply moved and held Lu Zhengting's hand tightly. "Brother, you are my own brother. You are so good to me, brother."

When Lu Zhengting saw that his lips were about to kiss the back of his hand, he quickly pulled his hand back and shook it off in disgust.

"Don't drool on the back of my hand."

He turned and went out, afraid that Feng Yidong would leave too soon. When he reached the door, he reminded Feng Yidong again: "Remember, go when it's time to eat. Don't go too early."

Feng Yidong sensed something was wrong. Was this a welcome or a rejection?

He nodded hesitantly, "Okay, brother, if you let me go at six o'clock, I definitely won't go at five fifty-nine."

"Okay, okay. Your sister-in-law is still waiting for me outside, I'm leaving."

Feng Yidong suddenly remembered that Lu Zhengting didn't want him to go to his house early, was it because he was afraid that he would disturb his time with Lin Qingyan?

Thinking of this, he smiled. If he suddenly went there at five o'clock, he wondered if he would be able to get into Lu Zhengting's house.

Lu Zhengting and Lin Qingyan returned home. Lu Zhengting turned around and locked the front door. Lin Qingyan asked him, "Why are you locking the door in broad daylight?"

"Honey, of course we need to lock the gate during lunch break, otherwise what if someone suddenly barges in?"

They usually have to work and rarely have time to rest at home during lunch breaks.

Lin Qingyan stretched and said, "Since it's still early, let's rest for a while before cooking."

"Oh, right." Lu Zhengting picked Lin Qingyan up in his arms. "Wife, let's go inside and rest."

Lin Qingyan originally thought she would just lie on the kang and take a nap, but unexpectedly, someone picked her up and put her on the kang, then pressed down on her and started to mess with her.
