Seeing that Xu Qian remained silent, Shen Qiaoyue tactfully came out of the kitchen.

Upon entering the living room, they saw Lu Chen exploring the fabric that Shen Qiaoyue had cut out.

"Lu Chen, let me ask you, you've known Brother Xu and Dr. Liu for many years, what are their thoughts?"

Lu Chen said, "What can you think? Just say it like that!"

Shen Qiaoyue remained silent.

You can't get any answers from Lu Chen.

“Comrade Liu Xinlan is afraid of affecting Xu Qianli. He is already a regimental-level instructor and will soon be promoted to political commissar.” Lu Chen has known Liu Xinlan for many years, as well as Xu Qianli for many years, and is quite familiar with their situation. “Liu Xinlan was transferred here because she fell in love with Xu Qianli at first sight when they were in Beijing.”

"Then why are they being so hesitant? They both like each other, so why don't they just say it out loud?" Shen Qiaoyue found it strange.

Lu Chen smiled helplessly, glanced in the direction of the kitchen, and said, "When you fall in love with each other, you will consider each other's feelings. But as time goes by, you will start to have thoughts of backing down."

What could he say?

The current situation is influenced by the overall environment; Liu Xinlan's sudden indifference stems from her unwillingness to ruin Xu Qianli's future.

Shen Qiaoyue complained, "You're overthinking it. There's nothing wrong with being direct. Why do you have to guess? If you like someone so much that it's uncontrollable, just say it. We'll face it together. It will pass eventually."

Shen Qiaoyue shook her head helplessly.

Staring at Lu Chen, he recalled what Jiang Jinyao had said earlier that day.

"Your ex-blind date is coming to work at the military base, have you heard?" Shen Qiaoyue stared at Lu Chen with a sinister look in her eyes.

"My previous blind date..." wasn't that Chief Jiang's niece?

Seeing that his wife's expression was a bit off, Lu Chen said, "Honey, the blind date I went with Comrade Jiang was completely kept secret by the commander. I had no idea about it before we met."

Shen Qiaoyue knew, of course, that her second uncle, Shen Yuanyi, and Chief Jiang were longtime comrades-in-arms.

The comrade-in-arms said he really liked the eldest brother's niece and wanted to introduce her to a potential blind date. The second uncle recommended An Lude, but the comrade specifically asked for Lu Chen to go.

Shen Qiaoyue's second uncle, Shen Yuanyi, reluctantly took her to a blind date, but the attempt failed, which made Shen Yuanyi very happy. He then arranged for Lu Chen to go on a blind date with Shen Qiaoyue instead.

"Honey, I swear, I really don't like her. And Chief Shen knows best about my blind date process, you have to believe me." Lu Chen started to panic; this wasn't something he wanted.

Shen Qiaoyue saw Lu Chen's nervous and flustered appearance.

She tried hard to purse her lips to stop herself from laughing.

"I forgive you, but you can't have any contact with her after she arrives." Shen Qiaoyue knew that the female protagonist in the book was a later soul that traveled through time, but she didn't know if Jiang Jinjing was the female protagonist or the original owner of the body.

Jiang Jingjing never appeared in Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen's marriage in their previous life, and they never heard of her even after Shen Qiaoyue died.

The female lead only appeared in Lu Chen's life several years after Shen Qiaoyue's death.

She didn't work in the military; she was in the breeding business, and later she raised silkworms, which laid the foundation for her entrepreneurial endeavors in the future.

The female protagonist has a deep theoretical knowledge, and Shen Qiaoyue vaguely felt afraid.

But she also tells herself that she is Lu Chen's legal wife and that no one should be allowed to take Lu Chen away from her.

"Yes, I guarantee I will complete the mission." Lu Chen said earnestly to Shen Qiaoyue.

Xu Qianli listened to the sounds coming from the living room, feeling utterly exasperated.

This young couple certainly knows how to have fun.

He was also injured, though not seriously. He didn't even get a day off. As soon as Lu Chen came back, he was forced to rest and recover. He even went to make breakfast for Chen Qiaoyue every day, delivered it to her at work, and cooked for her, without caring about his own injuries at all.

He, on the other hand, also had to take care of Lu Chen's work and be responsible for training the new recruits in the company.

Soon, the soup was ready and brought over.

At this moment, Liu Xinlan, who was in the dormitory, listened to Chen Xiaohua's advice and waited in the dormitory for someone to bring her food.

Chen Xiaohua confidently declared that she had a way to get Xu Qianli to personally deliver the food, and that his appearance would prove that he cared about Liu Xinlan.

It was already past seven o'clock, and Liu Xinlan's stomach ached whenever she was hungry.

He sat at the table reading a book, but his eyes kept fixed on the doorway.

She ate breakfast this morning and came back to rest, but hasn't eaten since.

My stomach started cramping in waves.

She started to break out in a cold sweat. Because of work, she often forgot to eat, and due to malnutrition, she had a serious stomach problem.

"Ouch!" she cried, clutching her stomach. "Chen Xiaohua, you've really ruined me! I haven't even had anything to eat!"

The pain was so bad she couldn't straighten her back.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock!"

Xu Qianli brought over a lunchbox and some fruit. He had taken the fruit from Lu Chen's house. He also took half of the pound of brown sugar from Shen Qiaoyue's house.

Shen Qiaoyue looked helplessly at Xu Qianli. He had become so shameless for Liu Xinlan's sake, and she couldn't say anything about it.

Lu Chen was unhappy, though, because it was something he had reserved for his wife.

Upon hearing the sound, Liu Xinlan clutched her stomach and went to open the door.

The moment they looked up and met eyes, Liu was stunned.

Xu Qianli really came.

Seeing Liu Xinlan's weak appearance, Xu Qianli asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

"I'm already like this, how can I be any better!" Liu Xinlan felt inexplicably sad, and her nose stung with tears.

Xu Qianli carried some food and handed it to Liu Xinlan, saying, "Eat something, it will make you feel much better."

When Liu Xinlan saw that he was carrying food, including fruit and brown sugar, she felt happy.
