Looking at Xiang Shulan, Shen Qiaoyue could tell that she was indeed living a very comfortable life.

"Sister-in-law Ye, look at what you're saying. I came here today to thank Sister Qiaoyue for saving me. If it weren't for Sister Qiaoyue, I probably would have died long ago!" Xiang Shulan looked down at the bag in her hand and slowly walked over to say, "These are a box or two of pastries and a few apples that I bought when I went to town with Zhang Dali a few days ago. I want to thank Sister Qiaoyue for saving my life."

After saying that, he added, "I tried to bring it over several times, but I didn't see you. Commander Lu was at home, but seeing his serious expression, I was afraid to bring it over!"

When Xiang Shulan brought honey over last time, she saw Lu Chen's fierce expression, which scared her so much that she didn't dare to come over again when Lu Chen was home alone.

It just so happens that Shen Qiaoyue is home today, and Lu Chen isn't, so this is the perfect time to deliver it.

"Don't give me any money, this is to thank you, sister," Xiang Shulan continued.

Seeing Xiang Shulan's kindness, Shen Qiaoyue stepped down the stairs and accepted the gifts from Xiang Shulan with both hands.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, thank you Sister-in-law Shulan," Shen Qiaoyue said with a smile.

"Commander Lu is indeed intimidating. He's used to training soldiers, and his expression is quite frightening. Every time I see Commander Lu, I'm so afraid that my greeting is much weaker!" Ye Hualan said quickly, looking at Shen Qiaoyue's expression. "Every time I see Qiaoyue, she's like a completely different person. So you can't judge a book by its cover!"

Shen Qiaoyue was amused by Ye Hualan's words, but she had a feeling that Ye Hualan meant something else entirely.

Ever since Ye Hualan told Shen Qiaoyue that she learned about Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen's wedding night because Ye Hualan knew that the couple had been hospitalized on their wedding night, Shen Qiaoyue has always felt guilty in front of her.

"No, it's just that you all don't understand Lu Chen!" Shen Qiaoyue knew that Lu Chen's outward appearance was to hide his vulnerability.

He had been through too many wars, and he carried with him a murderous aura and charisma, but without that, Lu Chen would be a bad person.

That's why he's actually the one who needs to be loved more.

When Xiang Shulan saw Shen Qiaoyue talking about Lu Chen, the infatuated look on her face was almost overflowing.

"Ugh~" Ye Hualan felt sick of it. "I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going back to rest. I've been working overtime for a week, and I just want to sleep in for a while."

Shen Qiaoyue said, "Sister-in-law Ye, please take care."
