After Lu Qingya left.

Jiang Yue nestled on the sofa and looked out the window.

The weather is lovely tonight. The moon is full and clearly illuminates the scenery outside. Newly sprouted willow branches sway in the breeze, and several flowers on the terrace have already bloomed. Their colors are indistinct in the darkness, but you can see that they are swaying in the night wind.

It's already April, and Lu Jingnian has been gone for more than half a year.

He said before he left that if things went smoothly, he would be back in six months.

But now half a year has passed, and he has not returned, nor has Jiang Yue heard from him.

Jiang Yue has been working so hard on charity lately, donating money to schools and repairing roads, because Lu Jingnian hasn't returned yet, and she can't help but worry about him.

She thought that the more good deeds she did, the sooner Lu Jingnian might be able to return.

Touching her round belly, Jiang Yue's brows were furrowed with longing and worry. "Lu Jingnian, where are you right now?"

I miss you so much!

...

A secret base of a foreign power.

Lu Jingnian came out of the house with his weapon in his hand, looked up at the night sky, and pursed his lips.

He was supposed to finish his mission a month ago, but unexpectedly, he ended up uncovering an even deeper hideout by following the clues from the destroyed terrorist stronghold.

After the situation was reported to his superiors, they immediately decided to let him continue his undercover work and bring all these people to justice.

These people operate along the border, engaging in drug trafficking, smuggling, and even human trafficking. This terrorist force is not only large in number but also has a wide reach. If it is not dealt with, the border will never be peaceful.

Judging by the time, he has been out for more than half a year.

When he left, he told Yueyue that he could return in six months if things went smoothly, but he broke his promise.

Lu Jingnian didn't know if Jiang Yue was angry about this, but he knew that if he returned a day later, Jiang Yue would definitely worry about him a day more.

For Yueyue's sake, he needed to complete this task as soon as possible and go back to see her.

...

Jiang Yue was unaware that Lu Jingnian was also thinking of her. Right now, she was speechlessly staring at the ghostly figure in a black cloak in front of her in her dream.

"Jiang Yue, have you thought it through? You had another nightmare today, which means you're getting more and more worried about your husband."

"Give me just a drop of your blood, and I can help you find him and let you know what he's doing now."

The cloaked man sat not far away, looking at Jiang Yue with an excited voice.

Jiang Yue rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, "I now seriously suspect that you're the one who's causing my nightmares."

Ever since that nightmare she had during the Lunar New Year, she has been having nightmares frequently, and each time it is this ghostly thing that pulls her out of the nightmare.

In the first few times, he kept asking Jiang Yue to repay his kindness.

He didn't mention repaying the debt of gratitude later, but he always wanted Jiang Yue to give him things, either fingernails or hair, and this time it was blood.

"You're really good at spouting nonsense. It's clearly because you're worried about your man that you're having nightmares. What does it have to do with me? I came here to save you out of kindness. I'm your savior."

Perhaps because he had appeared in Jiang Yue's dreams so many times, the cloaked man had completely lost his previous mysterious and aloof demeanor. The way he sat on the ground and bargained with Jiang Yue looked just like an old man or woman haggling at a market.

"They say that a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body, but Jiang Yue, I won't ask you to repay me with your body. Just give me the little one in your belly."

"If you don't want to speak like a human being, I'm leaving."

Jiang Yue ignored him.

The cloaked man was so angry at her stubbornness that he ground his teeth.

"Why are you such a difficult woman? I've saved you so many times, all I want is a child from you, why won't you agree?"

Jiang Yue already knew what he wanted the child for, so the cloaked man no longer hid it from her and now arrogantly told Jiang Yue, "If I take your son's body, I will become him."

Even if we are related by blood, you are my mother, and it is your blessing that a powerful being like myself is your son.

"Good fortune?"

Jiang Yue looked at him and sneered, "Even a dog wouldn't want this kind of good fortune."

“I have money and status. My son was born into a world that countless people envy. He can become a strong person on his own. Why should he be your vessel?”

"Look at yourself! A pervert who doesn't even dare show his face in front of me, yet you dare to call yourself my son? You might not mind, but I certainly will."

Bah! Compared to her son, this bastard doesn't even deserve to be compared!

Knowing that he wouldn't dare to hurt her now, Jiang Yue wasn't afraid of him either.

Jiang Yue walked over and kicked him, then turned and left.

The cloaked man: "..." This woman actually dared to kick him?

He's always the one kicking others; no one has ever dared to kick him.

"Jiang Yue...you just wait..."

He planned to kill the woman once she gave birth to the child.

Jiang Yue heard his impotent rage, but ignored him. She opened her eyes, took out a talisman, wrote down what had just happened, and then burned the talisman.

This is a talisman that her master gave her when he passed away last year. He told her that if there was anything she couldn't resolve, she should write it down on the talisman, burn it, and her master would know what had happened to her.

Originally, Old Man Chen only gave Jiang Yue two talisman papers, but unexpectedly, after seeing the talisman papers, Jiang Yue copied them once and learned how to use them.

So now, every time Jiang Yue encounters that cloaked ghost in her dream, she tells Old Man Chen about it when she wakes up.

After burning the talisman, Jiang Yue lay on the bed and rubbed her temples.

She's due to give birth in just over two months, and her master should be back soon. I wonder if Lu Jingnian will be able to make it back before she gives birth.

If Lu Jingnian doesn't come back until after she gives birth, and then hears that she has two children, I wonder if he will be shocked or pleasantly surprised.

Jiang Yue drifted off to sleep again, lost in thought.

The next day.

She was woken up by Lu Yan's knocking on the door.

"Sister-in-law, are you awake?"

It's already past nine in the morning, you should get up.

"Let me tell you, I've found the male lead. He's not a professional actor, and he's a bit difficult to work with, but let me tell you, his image is made for the male lead of our drama."

Her looks were absolutely stunning.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Hearing his excited voice, Jiang Yue got out of bed, changed her clothes, and went to open the door for him.

"What kind of man excites you so much? Do you have a photo?"

Jiang Yue asked.

"have."

Lu Yan quickly pulled out a one-inch photo from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Yue like a treasure. "Sister-in-law, look, isn't he very handsome? His eyes are sharp like a sword. The moment I saw him today, I knew he was the perfect leading man for us."
