Looking at the beautiful female doctor Lin Yueru in front of him, with her good looks, figure, and money, she was simply every man's dream type!

Song Weidong straightened his back, thinking that this woman must have taken a liking to him, otherwise why would she be so attentive to him?

"Really? Dr. Lin? I can work at your father's factory!"

"Of course, I think you are capable. You should live a good life in order to take care of your child."

Lin Yueru felt sorry for Song Weidong being betrayed by a woman, which is why she was willing to help him.

Song Yaozu quickly said, "Thank you, sister, for giving me this opportunity. My dad will definitely do a good job!"

Looking at the sensible child, Lin Yueru reached out and patted his head, "So good!"

Song Yaozu smiled broadly, but in his heart he cursed the woman as an idiot who had fooled them with their clumsy acting.

Lin Yueru took out paper and pen, wrote down the factory's address, and then handed it to the man.

"Just go to this address and tell them it was arranged by me, and my dad will take care of you."

Song Weidong looked down and saw that it was Dongfang Chemical Plant. His eyes lit up immediately because the plant was very profitable.

"Dr. Lin, thank you!"

Lin Yueru stood ramrod straight, like a savior, feeling the envious gazes of everyone around him, and couldn't be more proud of himself.

"Don't be so polite with me. You should live a good life from now on, take good care of the children, and stop thinking about those other things."

"I will, I will definitely not let Comrade Lin down!" Song Weidong thought of Lu Zhixia again, if she chose not to turn back.

He could just find something in the chemical plant and kill her—he couldn't let that other man get away with it!

They wanted to strangle him that day. If there hadn't been no one around, how could he have backed down?

...

Lu Zhixia woke up from a nightmare, her mind filled with images of her child being hurt. Her heart ached, and tears streamed down her face, quickly soaking the blankets.

There was a knock on the door, and she looked towards the entrance.

"Comrade Lu!" Gu Lingxiao's voice came through.

"Wait a moment."

Lu Zhixia wiped away her tears, then blew her nose hard with her handkerchief to clear her nasal voice. She threw back the covers, put on her shoes, walked to the door, and opened it, seeing Gu Lingxiao standing there.

Gu Lingxiao felt so sorry for her, her eyes were red from crying, and he wanted to hold her in his arms, but he had no right to do so.

Why are you crying?

"I had a nightmare and then I cried."

Looking at him, Lu Zhixia felt inexplicably at ease, realizing that her earlier tears had been a huge overreaction.

Be strong, there's still a long road ahead! For her child, she must fight hard and keep going!

After giving myself a pep talk, I instantly felt refreshed. I rubbed my eyes and casually asked him...

"What do you want from me?!"

Gu Lingxiao noticed that she had just cried and probably didn't have much of an appetite, so he suggested that she take a walk instead.

"I came to find you, let's take a walk around the area and clear our heads."

Lu Zhixia thought that Nandu was a big city, said to be paved with gold, and since she was going to stay there for two more days anyway, she figured she might as well go out and take a look.

"Then wait for me outside the door, I'll change my clothes."

"Okay." Gu Lingxiao turned around and left, closing the door behind him.

Lu Zhixia took out another set of clothes from the cloth bag and changed into them. After sitting on the train for a day and a night, even though she hadn't sweated, her clothes still smelled sour from the stench of the carriage.

After changing her clothes, she went out to meet Gu Lingxiao, and then they went downstairs together.

The waitress was sweeping the floor when she looked up and saw them, thinking to herself, "They came all this way to have sex."

That guy is really handsome, with that face and that waist, women are really getting a bargain.

When will I be able to find someone like that? I wish I could snatch him away right now—

Lu Zhixia noticed that the waitress was giving Gu Lingxiao strange looks, glancing at him all the time. So, after they went outside, she spoke to him about it.

"That woman was looking at you just now."

Which one?

"That's the waiter who was sweeping just now."

"Oh, I wasn't paying attention. Why was she looking at me like that?"

A typical straight-male answer, and Lu Zhixia chuckled softly.

"Of course she likes you because you're good-looking."

"That's too superficial."

Lu Zhixia blinked and blurted out, "You are indeed good-looking, one of the best among the men I know! I'm being a bit superficial."

"You don't count!" Gu Lingxiao smiled slightly.

Lu Zhixia thought to herself that this man was quite hypocritical. Walking on the wide avenue, she felt that this was indeed a big city, with cars and people everywhere, and everyone was dressed quite fashionably.

I've seen several women wearing skirts, and others wearing loose shirts and flared pants—things you don't usually see in the city.

Since I figured I'd have to stay another day anyway, I told him...

"I want to go to the wholesale market."

"what are you up to?"

“Look at all the clothes men, women, and children are wearing on the street, the headscarves they’re wearing, and the shoes they’re wearing. If we took some of these back and sold them, we could probably make a profit.” Lu Zhixia’s eyes lit up as she looked at these things. “Besides, it would be good to buy them for ourselves. You should get yourself a few more clothes; you can’t always wear your military uniform!”

"Don't you like watching it?" Gu Lingxiao asked back.

"Is it appropriate for me to ask you that?" Lu Zhixia teased, looking at him.

The exchange of glances between the two suggested that the unspoken understanding between them was about to be revealed.

"There's a girl trying to jump into the river!" someone shouted.

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingxiao rushed over without saying a word, his speed like that of a cheetah.
