On the night of her wedding, the husband left for a mission as a soldier. For three years, Su Yueya dutifully took care of her mother-in-law. Just as she finally waited for her husband to be promot...
"How about letting Xiaoyuan and An'an sleep with us tonight?" Qiao Hanxue said, discussing it with Liu Yuying.
But this has nothing to do with who puts the two little ones to sleep.
Before Lu Zhengjun returned, Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an had been sleeping independently in their bedroom for a long time and did not make a fuss about sleeping with any of the adults. This situation only started after Lu Zhengjun came back.
Clearly, the two little ones were targeting Lu Zhengjun.
Even if Qiao Hanxue and Liu Yuying offered to sleep with them, they might not agree!
That's the key point.
"I have no objection, but will they agree?" Liu Yuying said while eating breakfast.
Qiao Hanxue looked at the two little ones.
Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an shook their heads in unison.
I knew it would be like this.
After this farce, Lu Zhengjun and Su Yueya learned some lessons and decided that next time—there will be no next time.
Next time, no matter how tired she is, Lu Zhengjun will crawl out of bed and bring the child back!
The allergies caused by wearing a mask for a long time were not serious, and with the nourishment of the spiritual spring, Lu Zhengjun's redness and swelling on her face recovered quickly.
"Honey, I think your face looks much better than it did a few days ago." Su Yueya pinched Lu Zhengjun's chin and looked his face up and down.
Wow, no wonder he's her husband, his face really stands the test of time, he looks good from any angle.
As Su Yueya leaned closer, Lu Zhengjun immediately wrapped his arms around her.
"Yes, thank you for making me face masks every day," Lu Zhengjun said.
"What are you doing with your hands?" Su Yueya's expression changed instantly, and she pulled Lu Zhengjun's hand away, saying sternly, "The task of soothing the child is yours later. If you don't do it well, you'll—"
"So what if I do that?" Lu Zhengjun's hands continued to wander.
"Hmph!" Su Yueya left.
Although the redness and swelling had improved, they had not completely disappeared, so after breakfast, Su Yueya continued to apply a face mask for Lu Zhengjun.
Lu Zhengjun used up all the vacation days she had saved up over the past three years, while Su Yueya only asked Minister Hu for a week's vacation. Calculating the time, she would have to go back to work in the army in a couple of days.
"Your face is almost healed. When are we going to visit our parents?" Su Yueya asked.
Actually, she had planned to go back from the beginning, but she was afraid that seeing Lu Zhengjun's face would make Bai Xiuhui uncomfortable, so she said she would go back first after her face was in better condition.
“I’ll go back tomorrow. I think my face is fine now,” Lu Zhengjun said.
When this matter was brought up, he was visibly depressed. The people he felt most sorry for were Su Yueya and his parents.
Especially after learning that Yueya had found out through other means that he was not really dead, at least he still had some hope in his heart, but his parents really had no hope at all, and he didn't know how to explain it to them when he saw them again.
“It’s okay,” Su Yueya said, completely understanding Lu Zhengjun’s feelings at that moment. She held his hand and said, “Your parents will definitely understand you and be proud of you. Really, look at Xiaoyuan and An’an. They don’t mind at all. People who truly love you will never blame you.”
Lu Zhengjun's mood remained heavy, but he did not want to affect Su Yueya's emotions.
"Well, since I'm in such a pitiful state, how about you consider helping me with the task of coaxing Xiaoyuan and An'an later?" Lu Zhengjun took the opportunity to negotiate.
Su Yueya rolled her eyes at him, but she couldn't refuse him at all.
"You've said everything, hmph!" she replied sullenly.
Finally, the issue of being taken away was resolved by Su Yueya and Lu Zhengjun taking the two little ones for a nap together.
"Then you're not allowed to cry anymore!" Su Yueya said.
The two little ones, their eyes still red, nodded sadly.
"Don't cry." Lu Si'an wiped away her tears.
Isn't this going to kill Lu Zhengjun?
"I'm sorry, it's all Dad's fault. Dad will never do it again. Xiaoyuan and An'an, please don't be angry with Dad, okay?" Lu Zhengjun asked.
"It's not Dad's fault," the two little ones said very sensibly.
Su Yueya: "..."
Okay, so this is a case of fatherly love and filial piety again, that's really something!
If Su Yueya hadn't been so aware of the two little ones' dramatic nature, she would have been completely fooled by them.
The current situation is probably because Lu Zhengjun has just returned, and Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an are still immersed in the joy of "having a father" and cannot adapt well for a while, so Su Yueya chooses to "endure".
If these two little ones continue to cling to her and "steal her husband" after a while, she'll have to take some measures.
Before Su Yueya returned to work at the military base, the next day, Lu Zhengjun and Su Yueya took the two little ones back to the Lu family home to visit Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui.
Before setting off, Lu Zhengjun was very apprehensive.
"Are you nervous?" Su Yueya found it amusing. In her opinion, this was a good thing and there was no need to be nervous at all.
If Lu Zhengjun hadn't insisted that it wasn't appropriate to go back to see her parents before her face had fully recovered, she would have thought she should have visited them much sooner and told them the good news that Lu Zhengjun was still alive.
"Is it obvious?" Lu Zhengjun asked. Only he knew that his palms were sweating. He thought he had concealed it well, but little did he know that Su Yueya, who knew him best, could see through him at a glance.
Su Yueya didn't even bother to say anything to him. Was it really that obvious? It couldn't be more obvious.
"Honey, why are you so nervous?" Su Yueya still chose to comfort him, not wanting him to remain immersed in this negative emotion. "Mom and Dad will definitely be very happy to see you. You don't need to be nervous at all. This is a good thing. Just tell them the truth. Anyway, the military's report will be released soon. We have to tell them before the report is released. We can't let Dad find out about your faked death from the announcement, can we?"
That's the key point.
As long as Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui know the truth before the official announcement, it will be fine. If they find out from the military's announcement, their parents will definitely be very heartbroken.
Now, before the official announcement is released, Lu Zhengjun only needs to appear to explain everything.
"I..." Lu Zhengjun hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
He knew, of course, that his presence was enough to undo everything that had happened before for his parents, but what did the pain they had endured during the years he had faked his death matter?
"Thinking about how my parents really thought I was dead... I... I don't know how to make it up to them," Lu Zhengjun said, feeling lost and helpless.
Su Yueya finally understood.
However, some things are simply impossible to have both ways of doing things. Under the circumstances at the time, Lu Zhengjun had no choice at all. The suffering endured by Lu's parents could only be described as a helpless act, something no one could do.
"Honey, now that you and I are parents, if it were Xiaoyuan or An'an going on a mission today, would you blame them?"
Su Yueya helped Lu Zhengjun understand the problem simply by putting herself in Lu Zhengjun's shoes and switching roles.
