"Delicious, delicious." Shen Qiaoyue didn't want to hurt Lu Chen's pride, so she said it was delicious through tears.

The fried rice was just so-so, with several pieces of eggshell. As Shen Qiaoyue ate, she crunched on the eggshell again.

Lu Chen didn't notice the first time, but this time when Shen Qiaoyue found an eggshell in her food, Lu Chen heard the sound.

He also realized that his cooking skills still needed improvement, so his wife ate the whole bowl of fried rice to avoid upsetting him.

Lu Chen was still very touched.

He also secretly told himself that he must learn to cook well so that when his wife gave birth, she would need to eat more nutritious food, and he would have to learn how to cook it well so that his wife would be happy.

After finishing her fried rice, Shen Qiaoyue drank a large glass of warm water.

Lu Chen has been cooking for so long, but his culinary skills are still just so-so.

After resting for a while, Shen Qiaoyue went to take a bath.

After showering, I lay in bed, the fan blew away the dust, and I closed my eyes to recharge and go to sleep.

Lu Chen did all the housework, big and small, by himself, and washed all the family's clothes.

After washing the clothes, Lu Chen wiped the sweat off with a towel and mopped the living room and bedroom.

After Shen Qiaoyue fell asleep, Lu Chen turned off the main light, leaving only a bedside lamp, and closed the bedroom door to let Shen Qiaoyue sleep.

Every time, Shen Qiaoyue was asleep, Lu Chen was still working.

He knew that if he didn't do it, his wife would have to, and now that she was pregnant, he was the only one who could do these chores.

This is their home, so it definitely needs to be kept clean and tidy so everyone can be happy.

After getting everything ready, Lu Chen took a shower, returned to his room, and carefully lay down on the bed to rest.

He slowly approached Shen Qiaoyue, turned off the bedside lamp, hugged his little wife, kissed her forehead, and closed his eyes to sleep contentedly.

Shen Qiaoyue was still having nightmares, but when Lu Chen held her as she slept, it was as if she had someone to protect her, and the furrowed lines between her brows slowly relaxed.

In the morning, the birds began to sing.

People are also getting into a busy day!

Shen Qiaoyue sat on the back of Lu Chen's bicycle, munching on corn, with one arm around Lu Chen's waist.

The morning breeze was cool and not too hot. Hearing the horns of bicycles and people greeting each other, Shen Qiaoyue was full of enthusiasm for her day.

"Brother Chen?"

"Yes, I'm here!" Lu Chen replied to Shen Qiaoyue.

With a mouthful of corn still in her mouth, Shen Qiaoyue said to Lu Chen, "Brother Chen, in this vast world, I've only seen you."

"What?" Lu Chen didn't react for a moment.

Seeing that Lu Chen hadn't heard her and couldn't understand the meaning behind her words, Shen Qiaoyue felt a little disappointed.

"nothing!"

Lu Chen realized that this was the happiest thing he had heard all day.

The young wife was confessing her love to him, saying sweet words.

"Wife, I've only ever seen you, and I'll only ever see you from now on," Lu Chen said earnestly to Shen Qiaoyue while keeping his eyes focused straight ahead.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's response, Shen Qiaoyue happily ate her corn.

Lu Chen could understand what she was saying.

It's quite romantic, and the days ahead won't be boring.

Upon arriving at the factory gate, Lu Chen didn't linger; he needed to get back to training.

"Wife, take care of yourself. I'm going back now," Lu Chen instructed Shen Qiaoyue.

Shen Qiaoyue nodded, and Lu Chen turned around and sped away without even looking back at her.

"They don't even look at me!" Shen Qiaoyue muttered under her breath.

"Everyone's gone!" Ye Hualan whispered in Shen Qiaoyue's ear.

Seeing Ye Hualan's teasing, she smiled awkwardly.

"Sister Hualan, you're here so early too?" Shen Qiaoyue was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to leave home. Since Lu Chen's training time clashed with her departure time, she left a little earlier so that Lu Chen wouldn't be late for training.

Even if you arrive half an hour early, you can still run into Ye Hualan.

“My husband brings me here at this time every day, so I’m used to getting up at this time.” Ye Hualan replied, while helping Shen Qiaoyue inside. “You can move your office to Building 2. I’ll have my office on the second floor. That’ll be perfect. It will be easier for us to communicate about work matters in the future.”

“That’s right. Our department has hired a few people. If there’s anything they don’t understand, we’ll have to trouble our deputy section chief for help,” Shen Qiaoyue said to Ye Hualan in a flattering tone.

Ye Hualan was both amused and exasperated, and said, "I'm not one to show mercy. If you don't understand, I'll teach you if you're willing to listen. If you don't want to listen, there's nothing I can do if you still can't understand even after I've taught you."

Shen Qiaoyue smiled and said, "Thank you in advance, Sister Hualan."

Ye Hualan glanced at Shen Qiaoyue with a helpless look.

When she arrived at the office, no one had started work yet, so Shen Qiaoyue took out the breakfast she had brought from home and started eating.

It was still fried rice with egg. Shen Qiaoyue ate an ear of corn, but it wasn't enough, so she took out a spoon and started eating the fried rice with egg.

Because I'm always in a rush to leave, I've been preparing breakfast and bringing it to the factory to eat.

Lu Chen got up early to train. After finishing his morning run, he got steamed buns, eggs, some dried radish, and fried rice from the cafeteria.

The rice used here is pearl rice, which is quite different from regular rice.

"Eating right now?" Ye Hualan brought pan-fried dumplings from home, opened the box and handed it to Shen Qiaoyue, still chewing. "Have one."

Shen Qiaoyue scooped one up with a spoon, and Ye Hualan put down another box of dumplings.

"Here you go. I steamed it this morning because I thought frying it would make it too hard, and you wouldn't like eating it in the morning, so I steamed a box for you. This one is filled with shiitake mushrooms and greens," Ye Hualan said as she ate.
