In her previous life, Jiang Haitang was an absolute fool. After becoming a widow at barely 16, she never remarried, serving as a blood bag for her in-laws, raising her brother-in-law, taking care o...
Chapter 253 Newly Married
"Let me see your injury." His voice was gentle but with an irresistible insistence.
This injury became a hurdle in his heart.
Jiang Haitang raised his left arm obediently.
Lu Liangchen carefully unwrapped the gauze layer by layer.
The wound has scabbed over, revealing a new strip of pink flesh. Thanks to the scar-removing ointment given by Dr. Wang, it has recovered very well and no longer looks hideous.
Lu Liangchen's fingertips brushed across the scar very gently, with infinite love and heartache.
He lowered his head, and his warm lips pressed reverently and gently against the scar.
Jiang Haitang's body trembled slightly, and a warm current accompanied by numbness spread from the scar to the tip of her heart.
Lu Liangchen grabbed her hand, put it to his lips and kissed it.
His eyes became hot again, filled with long-suppressed desire and strong emotions.
The air seemed to solidify, yet also seemed to be ignited.
Jiang Haitang felt hot all over when he looked at her, and her fingers unconsciously clutched the collar of his shirt.
Lu Liangchen's Adam's apple rolled again, then he slowly and firmly lowered his head and kissed the red lips he had longed for.
This time, it is no longer a comfort, no longer a test.
Instead, he absorbed her sweetness gently and forcefully with scorching heat and determination to conquer the city.
His kiss went deeper and deeper, carrying the aroma of wine and his unique, reassuring scent, instantly taking away all of Jiang Haitang's breath and sanity.
She closed her eyes in response, her hands climbing up his broad back.
All the nervousness and shyness melted into a sweet warm current in this kiss.
The moonlight outside the window is just right, and the clear light shines through the window lattice and casts a gentle light on the ground.
In the new house, the couple only have each other in their eyes. Only the blending of their breath and the increasingly rapid heartbeats remain, telling of the deepest love and common expectations for the future.
Jiang Haitang woke up at daybreak.
She opened her eyes and found herself embraced by Lu Liangchen's strong arms, her back pressed against his warm chest.
The man's breath brushed her neck evenly, with a reassuring warmth.
She moved slightly, wanting to turn around and look at him, but she heard a sleepy, hoarse voice above her head: "Sleep a little longer..."
Lu Liangchen tightened his arms around her and rubbed his chin against the top of her head.
Jiang Haitang smiled, her cheek pressed against his muscular arm.
The memories of last night came flooding back, making her ears burn.
Jiang Haitang gently held Lu Liangchen's hand: "It's time to get up. Mom will be calling you soon."
"Mom is not that kind of person. Just sleep peacefully." Lu Liangchen kissed Jiang Haitang's hand and said.
"Mom didn't look for us, but Xiao Taozi will probably look for us when she wakes up. I don't know if Xiao Taozi made trouble when she followed Mom last night."
"Our little Taozi is such a well-behaved child, how could she possibly cause trouble? Haitang, it's only the first day of your marriage, and you're already thinking about someone else."
Looking at the big man acting like a spoiled child, Jiang Haitang couldn't help laughing.
"You're still laughing, you're still laughing!"
"Stop laughing, stop laughing. You are the first in my heart! Is this okay?" Jiang Haitang could only hug his neck and kiss him on the cheek.
But obviously, Lu Liangchen was not satisfied with such a kiss. He immediately kissed Jiang Haitang on the lips.
Just at this moment, the voice of He Wanyi coaxing Xiao Taozi was heard outside the door.
It was obvious that little Taozi wanted to find her mother after waking up.
"Little Peach is looking for us!"
Although Lu Liangchen felt a little regretful, he still turned over and sat up after a light peck, and put on his vest neatly.
When they finished packing and opened the door, Xiao Taozi was already dressed and was being led by Yuan Yinan for a walk in the yard.
Seeing her parents coming out, the little girl immediately broke free from Yuan Yinan's hand and flew over like a little butterfly: "Dad! Mom!"
Lu Liangchen bent down, picked up his daughter, and kissed her rosy little face: "Did you sleep well last night, Xiao Taozi?"
"Okay! I just missed Mommy after waking up." Xiao Taozi answered loudly, then stared at Jiang Haitang curiously, "Mommy looks the most beautiful today!"
Jiang Haitang was amused by her daughter's innocent words, and took the little peach and kissed it.
He Wanyi came over with a basin of hot water, with a knowing smile on her face: "Come, wash your face first. Breakfast is ready."
Jiang Haitang was actually a little shy. After all, it was only the first day of her marriage and she got up later than her mother-in-law, which made her feel embarrassed.
"Liangchen, Haitang is still injured, you can't make too much noise."
"Mom, I know, I feel so sorry for my wife." Lu Liangchen said immediately.
"We'll go to work after dinner. You should rest well at home today. Don't worry about the things for your parents-in-law in three days. I'll prepare them for you."
While eating, He Wanyi was still chattering.
Jiang Haitang and Lu Liangchen both agreed.
When the family members go to work or school, only the three of them are left.
Jiang Haitang planned to continue sorting out the knowledge she had learned in the Night Dream Space, so Lu Liangchen took Xiao Taozi out to play.
The little girl was a little uninterested.
"Little Peach, don't you want to play this?"
"I want to play with my brothers." Little Peach said with her head down.
Lu Liangchen didn't expect that his little girl would say that, and he felt a little disappointed for a moment.
"Little Peach, do you not like your daddy anymore?"
Xiao Taozi hugged Lu Liangchen's legs and said, "Of course I like Dad, but I also like my brothers."
"But my brothers are all in school now, so only Dad can accompany Xiao Taozi."
"Little Peach, you should go back to school soon too!"
"Okay, when we go back in a few days, Xiao Taozi will be able to go to school."
In a blink of an eye, it was the third day after the wedding.
Jiang Haitang got up very early that day.
"It's not even dawn yet, lie down for a while." Jiang Haitang was about to get up, but Lu Liangchen's strong arms pulled her back into the quilt.
Lu Liangchen's sleepy voice sounded in her ears, very tempting.
"I have to go back to grandpa's house today. I'm worried that grandpa will wait for a long time." Jiang Haitang said in a low voice.
Lu Liangchen could only reluctantly let go of her hand, turned on the light in the room, and leaned against the head of the bed looking at Jiang Haitang.
Jiang Haitang was wearing a short-sleeved shirt. The light shone on the light pink scar on her left arm, and his eyes dimmed.
"What are you looking at?" Jiang Haitang asked.
"Does it still hurt?" Lu Liangchen suddenly turned over and got out of bed, hugging her from behind, "Do you feel it? I feel so bad!"
"Why did you suddenly notice this place?" Jiang Haitang still didn't understand why he suddenly focused on her injury?
"I've noticed a lot of things, not just here." Lu Liangchen deftly unbuttoned his newly fastened shirt, "For example, here... and here..."
"Lu Liangchen!" Jiang Haitang frantically grabbed his disruptive hand, "Stop it, okay?"
"If you make it up to me tonight, I won't make a fuss!"
In order to appease this man who has tasted the sweetness of life, Jiang Haitang had no choice but to agree quickly.
The two of them quarreled for a while, and it was already light outside.
Lu Liangchen looked at the scene outside the window, thinking that Grandpa Jiang might really have gotten up so early to wait for his granddaughter, so he let go of Jiang Haitang and started to get dressed.
"Let's go, let's go over there early and have breakfast with grandpa."
When they went downstairs, He Wanyi had just gotten up. Seeing the young couple getting up early, she smiled and said, "I just said I would wake you up and ask you to come over early."
Mr. Lu was already in the living room, teaching Xiao Taozi how to recognize military rank shoulder straps.
Seeing the young couple coming downstairs, the old man winked mischievously: "Haitang, get up, hurry up and pack up and go over. I think Lao Jiang is waiting for you to have breakfast together."
Having dealt with Mr. Jiang for most of his life, Mr. Lu knows his old friend Mr. Jiang very well.
Now, Jiang Haitang, his only granddaughter, is his lifeblood. If his body did not allow it, he suspected that this old guy would take the initiative to request to be transferred to the northwest.
"Thank you, Grandpa! We'll be there soon!"
"You will be returning to the northwest soon. If you have time these days, spend more time with your grandfather." Grandpa Lu gave a few more instructions.
He Wanyi had already come over with a lot of things. She stuffed them into Lu Liangchen's hands and said, "Hurry up and go."
"Report to the Chief!" A loud voice suddenly came from the door.
A young soldier stood at attention and saluted: "Commander Jiang asked me to ask, when will Director Lu and Engineer Jiang arrive?"
In fact, the young soldier still felt it was quite strange. Early in the morning, Chief Jiang urged him to go to his house and invite someone to visit. Is that really okay?
However, this was arranged by the leader and should make sense, so he didn't think much about it and just focused on completing the task.
Everyone in the room laughed, especially Mr. Lu, who laughed heartily.
"I knew this old guy has no patience. Go, go!"
The soldier didn't expect that Chief Lu was really planning to be a guest so early, and it seemed that he had prepared a lot of gifts.
"Commander Lu, Commander Jiang has also invited you over. He wants to play chess with you."
"I won't go. I have other things to do today. Let my grandson and granddaughter-in-law play with him!" Grandpa Lu waved his hand and turned to go upstairs.
The two houses are not far from each other, both in a large courtyard, and only a few minutes' walk away.
When they arrived at the Jiang family's small courtyard, Jiang Guozhu was already standing in the yard waiting with his guards.
Lu Liangchen adjusted the collar of his military uniform and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Although I have been here many times, my identity today is different. I am returning as the grandson-in-law.
He felt his palms sweating slightly.
Jiang Guozhu's guard, Xiao Zhang, came out to greet them with a smile: "Director Lu, Sister Haitang! The commander has been waiting for you for quite some time!"
When Mr. Jiang saw his granddaughter, his eyes lit up and tears welled up in his eyes.
His granddaughter has started a family.
If the son and daughter-in-law in heaven could see that the child has grown up so well and married so well, they would probably be very pleased, right?
"It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here. Why do you bring so many things with you?" Old Master Jiang obviously saw the gift in Lu Liangchen's hand, so he said.
Lu Liangchen said flatteringly: "Grandpa, my grandfather said that these are all your favorites. Please take a look. If there is anything you don't like, I can make it for you."
"Don't try to get close to me. Just be nicer to Haitang in the future." Old Master Jiang glared at Lu Liangchen.
This grandson-in-law is indeed good, but compared with his granddaughter, he still ranks behind.
Xiao Taozi ran over and hugged Jiang Guozhu's legs.
"Grandpa, Xiao Taozi misses you so much, it hurts my heart!"
The little guy's words softened Mr. Jiang's heart and he immediately hugged the little guy.
"Really? You didn't lie to me?"
"Little Taozi seems like a good kid, I'm not lying, I really miss Grandpa, I miss him so much!"
A few days ago, Xiao Taozi lived with Jiang Haitang in the Jiang family and got along very well with Grandpa Jiang.
These words are also sincere.
