Normally, if Lu Jingnian poured her milk, she would definitely drink it without hesitation.

But now he is about to go on a mission, and Lu Jingnian knows that this mission is very dangerous, so he made all the arrangements for her before he left.

Lu Jingnian knew he might not come back, so he didn't dare let her have a child. Without a child, if he really didn't come back, there would be no more ties between them, and she could forget him without any worries and start a new life.

Since Lu Jingnian didn't want children, he secretly added medicine to her milk to coax her into drinking it.

But he definitely can't take too much of this medicine, so he'll find a lot of excuses not to sleep with her these next few nights.

Jiang Yue sat on the bed, touched her stomach, and sighed.

"Lu Jingnian, you'd better do me a favor last night and let me have it now, or I'll deal with you when you get back from your mission."

"Squeak."

Lu Jingnian pushed open the bedroom door from the outside. He came in with the candy Jiang Yue had bought that day, peeled one open, put it in Jiang Yue's mouth, and smiled very gently.

Does your mouth still taste bitter?

Jiang Yue shook her head with a candy in her mouth, "Much better."

She longed to kiss Lu Jingnian right now, to let him taste the sweetness of osmanthus sugar, but she couldn't do that.

The paper doll drank the milk, but her breath didn't taste like milk. Lu Jingnian was so clever; he gave himself away with just one kiss.

He was feeling guilty because he had done something wrong, which is why he didn't realize that the person drinking the milk was a paper figure.

"I'm fine now, you should go take a shower." Jiang Yue ate some candy and urged him to take a shower. "It's getting late, let's go to bed early."

You promised me today that you'd try your best to have a daughter with me these next few days.

As expected, after she finished speaking, the smile on Lu Jingnian's lips froze for a moment, but it only lasted for a second before returning to normal. If Jiang Yue hadn't been paying close attention to the change in his face, she wouldn't have noticed it at all.

"Yueyue, you go to sleep first."

Lu Jingnian's voice carried a hint of apology, "I have something to do tonight, I need to go out."

"What's going on? Why are you going out so late?"

Although Jiang Yue had long guessed that Lu Jingnian would find an excuse not to sleep with her, she still felt a little upset when she heard him actually say it.

How could this man do such a thing?

She knew that Lu Jingnian did this for her own good, but she couldn't accept it.

"You can go to sleep about work. I promise I'll be back soon."

Lu Jingnian smiled and patted Jiang Yue's head.

"Oh well."

Jiang Yue sighed unhappily, "Then you must work hard after you come back."

Lu Jingnian was both amused and exasperated. He wanted to kiss her, but Jiang Yue turned her head away, allowing Lu Jingnian to kiss her on the cheek.

"I'm not happy, I won't let you kiss me."

Lu Jingnian: "..."

Seeing Jiang Yue's unhappy expression, Lu Jingnian picked her up and spun her around the room several times.

"Don't be angry anymore. I promise you, I'll work hard when I get back."

The feeling of weightlessness made Jiang Yue instinctively hug Lu Jingnian's neck tightly. The way he spun around made Jiang Yue feel like she was flying, which was extremely exciting.

However, Lu Jingnian was afraid of making her dizzy, so he put her down after spinning her around twice.

Putted back on the bed, Jiang Yue was still reluctant to let go of Lu Jingnian. "Can't you not go? You're leaving soon."

I won't see you for a long time, so I want to spend these next few days with you.

She used to be very well-behaved, and had never been this clingy before.

"Yueyue, I'm sorry."

Lu Jingnian knew that this would hurt Jiang Yue, but he had no choice but to do it.

"never mind."

Unable to bear putting him in a difficult position, Jiang Yue let go of him and waved her hand, "You are a soldier, this is your duty, I understand."

Lu Jingnian tucked her in, affectionately patted her head, and placed a light kiss on her forehead. "Sleep now."

The room lights were turned off, and Jiang Yue lay on the bed watching Lu Jingnian leave and close the door. She turned over and bit the blanket to keep herself from crying.

She couldn't stop Lu Jingnian, nor could she.

She had to let him leave without any worries so that he could focus on his mission and ensure his own safety.

Lu Jingnian had just arrived downstairs when the phone rang.

"Hello, this is the Jiang family. Who are you looking for?"

As soon as Lu Jingnian spoke, Ye Shi'an on the other end of the phone recognized his voice.

"Old Lu, it's you! That's great! Tell your sister-in-law that Yao Hua is in trouble and is at the police station right now. You should come over as soon as possible, and it would be best to bring Uncle Jiang along too."

Yao Hua, Public Security Bureau?

Lu Jingnian's heart tightened instantly. "What happened to Yao Hua? Is she alright?"

"He suffered some minor injuries, which have been treated, and he's fine, but things are a bit complicated..."

Since he couldn't go into details over the phone, Ye Shi'an gave a brief explanation.

"If you can get in touch with Yu Xiangdong, it would be best to have him come. It will be easier to handle this matter if he comes."

"I see."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingnian immediately called the battalion headquarters and learned that Yu Xiangdong had gone to the regimental headquarters today and had not yet returned. He then quickly contacted the people at the regimental headquarters.

Lu Jingnian hung up the phone and then went to call Jiang's father. He asked someone from the regimental headquarters to contact Yu Xiangdong first.

Jiang's father was already asleep at this time.

"Knock knock knock!"

Hearing a knock on the door, I opened my eyes and quickly turned on the light.

"Who could it be so late?"

Shen Min was also woken up by the noise.

"I'll go check on it. You go back to sleep. I'll call you if I need anything."

Jiang's father quickly patted Shen Min, covered her with a blanket, and hurriedly put on his clothes to open the door.

Seeing Lu Jingnian at the door, Jiang's father was very surprised. "Jingnian, what happened?"

Lu Jingnian is always calm and collected. He wouldn't come to him so late unless it was something he couldn't solve.

"Dad, Yao Hua is in trouble. It's related to Xu Tianhai. You need to change your clothes and come with me to the police station."

Xu Tianhai?

Yu Xiangdong's ungrateful father?

"Why did he spend money like that? Is he alright?" Jiang's father asked quickly.

"I heard he was injured. I'll go get Yueyue now. Yu Xiangdong is at the regimental headquarters; I've already had someone contact him."

"Okay, go quickly, I'll change my clothes and go to the police station with you right away."

Jiang's father was worried about Yao Hua, so he quickly went back to his room to change his clothes.

Lu Jingnian quickly went upstairs to call Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue was still awake and was a little surprised to see him return. She thought he had changed his mind and was about to ask him why he had suddenly come back when Lu Jingnian said, "Yueyue, you need to get up quickly. Huahua is at the police station now, and we need to go there."

"What?"

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Yue immediately got out of bed and rushed over to Lu Jingnian without even putting on her shoes, asking, "What happened to Hua Hua?"

How are you? Are you hurt?

Why is Hua Hua at the police station? Isn't she taking care of Yu Xiangdong in the family compound?
