night.

Gu Lingxiao rarely comes back, and when he saw that the child wasn't home, he showered Lu Zhixia with kisses, then picked her up and carried her back into the house.

When Lu Zhixia sat on the bed, she pushed him away with her hand.

"What are you doing? You haven't eaten yet!"

"I'm not eating," Gu Lingxiao said in a deep voice. "Have you missed me these past few days?"

Lu Zhixia felt embarrassed by his question. It wasn't practical for the military to keep running back and forth; he would only come back when he wasn't busy.

"I've thought about it!"

"That's good!" Gu Lingxiao started taking off his clothes. "Let's get some business done first, then we'll eat!"

Lu Zhixia suddenly realized why Su Lan had left the children behind; she must have known they were going to have important business to attend to. She wrapped her arms around the man's neck—

Two hours later.

Lu Zhixia couldn't take it anymore and kicked the man off the bed. This guy had too much stamina; her back was hurting.

"Is this any good? Let's eat!"

"Okay, let's eat." Gu Lingxiao stood up, supporting himself with his hands on the ground. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, is that really true?

He only realized how wonderful his wife was after he got married, which made him rush back home every time.

Lu Zhixia changed her clothes and came out. She saw the men heating up food in the kitchen, so she walked to the door and just stood there watching him.

I can't get enough of looking at him; his back view is so handsome.

Gu Lingxiao poured the food into a plate, then heated up the next dish. Only after he finished cooking did he turn around, and at that moment, he felt a surge of emotion again.

"Let's eat first."

"Okay," Lu Zhixia replied, then went to wash her hands.

Reheated food doesn't taste as good as freshly made food, but since they had just exercised, there wasn't much food left.

After Lu Zhixia finished eating, she went back to her room, and Gu Lingxiao was responsible for washing the dishes.

He came in after he finished his work and said, "He came to see me today."

Gu Lingxiao had originally intended to take action, but he could only withdraw his hand. "What did I say to you?"

Lu Zhixia, "You didn't tell me about their situation."

Gu Lingxiao said, "I just didn't want to make you sad or upset."

Lu Zhixia, "Is that woman really paralyzed?"

Gu Lingxiao nodded, "It's true, and my mother told me that they have already gone through the divorce proceedings."

Lu Zhixia took an envelope out of the drawer. "This is the money he gave me."

Gu Lingxiao casually picked up the envelope and opened it. "It should be around 2,000 yuan. He probably doesn't have that much money. He may have bought out his years of service."

Lu Zhixia's heart skipped a beat. "I didn't expect it to be like this."

Gu Lingxiao put his arm around her shoulder and said, "This is also his way of showing his appreciation. If you accept it, he will feel better."

Lu Zhixia turned her head to look at the sky outside, "I actually didn't want to accept it, but after hearing what he said, I couldn't bear it."

Gu Lingxiao said, "Try to let it go in your heart! Otherwise, you'll feel terrible."

Lu Zhixia thought the same thing. "By the way, I plan to go back to my hometown in a while to pay respects to my grandfather and mother." She paused for a moment and then said, "He said he wants to settle down in the village and spend the rest of his life tending to their graves."

Gu Lingxiao: "Then let's go take a look!"

Lu Zhixia leaned her head slightly against his shoulder.

“I just feel that if I’m too good to him, it’s unfair to my mother.”

Gu Lingxiao said, "Don't overthink it. What happened back then wasn't their fault. It was entirely that woman's fault. She's already been punished. You all need to learn to move on."

Lu Zhixia knew in her heart that she shouldn't be so awkward. After receiving his comfort, she felt much better and smiled.

Gu Lingxiao couldn't resist that smile again and decisively kissed her.

——

Lu Zhixia was undoubtedly late. By the time she arrived at the store, it was already ten o'clock. The store had already opened for business, and Su Lan was busy as a bee.

First, I poured myself a glass of water and drank it. Then I sat down in the chair and saw seven or eight forms on the table.

Business is obviously good this weekend, so she needs to be more enthusiastic.

Zhou An'an came in from outside, saw Lu Zhixia, and quickly went over to her.

"It's so great that you're here. Come with me and help me buy clothes."

Seeing her anxious expression, Lu Zhixia asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou An'an leaned closer to her and whispered, "Xiao Wang's parents are here. He only told me today that we've arranged to meet at 2 pm!"

Lu Zhixia promptly got off the chair. "When did this happen? Why didn't he notify me in advance?"

Zhou An'an saw water in the cup. "Is this yours?"

Lu Zhixia nodded.

Then Zhou An'an picked up the cup and drank from it without any hesitation.

Zhou An'an raised his hand to touch his lips. "He didn't expect it either. He had just dropped the person off at the guesthouse and then told me."

Lu Zhixia couldn't help but laugh at Zhou An'an's anxious expression.

"Okay, I'll go shopping for clothes with you."

"It's so good to have you!" Zhou An'an opened his arms and gave the person a gentle hug, then let go.

Su Lan came out of the kitchen carrying plates in both hands. Seeing Zhou An'an arrive, she quickly said...

"When did you get here!"

Zhou An'an said apologetically, "Sister Lan, we have to go out for a while. Could you please ask for leave?"

Su Lan knew Zhou An'an wasn't the type to cause trouble, so she smiled and said,

"Go if you want to, I can handle it."

"Thanks, Sister Lan!" Zhou An'an said, then turned around and pulled Lu Zhixia out.

She's really anxious right now, and she doesn't know what kind of personalities Xiao Wang's parents have, or whether they would dislike her job.
