He's still at home, and the mother and daughter have completely forgotten about him. If he goes on a business trip, can they just pretend he doesn't exist in the house?

Gu An'an was still unaware of the man's ulterior motives and continued to chat intimately with the village chief's wife about her pregnancy until evening, when she felt that Xiao Yuheng's embrace was stronger than before.

"Something seems off about you."

Xiao Yuheng was both annoyed and amused. This heartless person had finally realized that something was wrong with him, but he still stubbornly asked, "What's wrong with me? Don't overthink it."

Although it was dark and his expression was not visible, Gu An'an knew from his tone that something must have happened to him. "It's good that nothing's wrong. I'm going to sleep now."

After shifting her body, Gu An'an found a comfortable position and prepared to pretend to sleep, while inwardly grumbling to herself.

Keep pretending! Let's see who's more miserable.

Xiao Yuheng thought Gu An'an would continue to care about him and ask more questions, but she didn't expect that Gu An'an would close her eyes and fall asleep, looking carefree, and even immediately start breathing heavily.

"What a heartless person."

He reached out and gently pinched Gu An'an's nose as punishment, preparing to hold her to sleep, but met Gu An'an's clear and bright eyes, showing no sign of just waking up.

"You pinched my nose while I was sleeping and said it was normal. I think you're trying to rebel."

Gu An'an was fuming, but Xiao Yuheng, who had been caught red-handed, showed no embarrassment whatsoever. He reached out and hugged her even tighter, saying, "Wife, what am I going to do if everyone wants to take her away from me?"

Gu An'an reached out and grabbed the soft flesh of his waist. Actually, she didn't use much force, and Xiao Yuheng didn't feel any pain, but he still pretended to cry out in pain and said aggrievedly, "An'an, are you trying to murder your husband?"

"I'll teach you to talk nonsense again! You're jealous of everyone, don't you have anything better to do?"

Gu An'an threatened fiercely, but before she could react, Xiao Yuheng stole a kiss from her. "I'm just jealous, so what?"

This shameless behavior is not what a regimental commander should be like. Gu An'an didn't want to continue discussing this issue with him because she noticed that Xiao Yuheng's hands had started to get inappropriate.

Thinking about what happened a few days ago, she could only pretend to be unaware and said, "I'm not talking to you anymore, the baby in my belly needs to sleep."

She even helped adjust Xiao Yuheng's hand position, the meaning of which was self-evident.

What else could Xiao Yuheng do? His wife's meaning was so clear, so he could only obey and go to sleep.

Over the next few days, whenever he had free time, Xiao Yuheng would take the village chief's wife around to familiarize herself with the surroundings.

"Auntie, are you sure everything's alright?"

The village chief's wife waved her hand, "What problem could there be? It's such a small place. Even if I can't find it right away, I can ask. It's not like I haven't opened my mouth. Just go about your work. I promise to take good care of An'an."

"Okay."

Xiao Yuheng was about to lead a business trip, and he was extremely busy. In the past, he had to take care of Gu An'an and had no choice but to continue working while she was asleep.

Now that someone is lending a hand, he has indeed become much more relaxed.

"Auntie, are you making clothes for the baby? No need, Mom has already prepared enough for her."

When Gu An'an saw that the village chief's wife was still sewing and mending clothes, and that the size was obviously for a small baby, and that she was using the same fabric that Gu An'an had brought, she immediately understood what she was doing.

"She prepares hers, I prepare mine, there's no conflict."

Setting the cut fabric aside, the village chief's wife continued, "You don't know, you need to prepare more clothes for children. They need to be changed when they poop or pee, otherwise they'll be uncomfortable and cry. You have to prepare more."

Liu Li happened to hear this when she arrived, and it goes without saying how envious she was.

“An’an, your aunt is right. Nobody told me any of this when I gave birth to Dunzi. As a result, this little rascal wets three pairs of pants in half a day. We weren’t prepared at all. In the end, I just let him lie on the bed with his bare bottom.”

Although Dunzi was young, he knew that his mother was talking about his shameful secrets, and he kept trying to cover his mother's mouth, saying, "Pretty auntie, don't listen to my mother's nonsense, I'm not a naked child."

"If you're not a naked child, then what are you?"

Dunzi thought for a moment and said, "Dad said I'm a little man, and when I grow up I'll be a big man, and then I can marry a beautiful aunt."

The child's innocent words made the three women in the room burst into laughter.

"You idiot, your aunt is already married to Uncle Xiao, how could she possibly marry you again? You're dreaming!"

Liu Li never expected that her son had such lofty ambitions, even knowing to look for the prettiest wife.

Dunzi expressed his feelings for the first time, but he didn't expect to get such an answer, which made him feel terrible.

"Oh no! My pretty auntie can't marry me? Mom, you're not lying to me?"

The more incredulous Dunzi became, the more exaggerated Liu Li's laughter became. "Of course, the pretty auntie belongs to Uncle Xiao, not you. Your Uncle Xiao is the regimental commander. What do you have to compare with him, you little brat?"

"I......"

Dunzi's mind works faster than ever before. "But Uncle Xiao was already old when I grew up!"

The three women burst into laughter again. "Dunzi, who told you that?"

“That’s what my dad said. He said that by the time I grow up, he will be old. Uncle Xiao is about the same age as my dad. By the time I grow into a grown man, Uncle Xiao will definitely be old, and then the pretty auntie won’t want him anymore.”

The village chief's wife was almost overjoyed by this rascal. She had no idea that he was trying to steal her husband away. She even encouraged him, saying, "Dunzi, you'd better study hard. When the time comes, you'll be more capable than Uncle Xiao and steal the pretty aunt away."

"good!"

Dunzi responded loudly, then looked at Gu An'an and said, "Pretty auntie, you have to wait for me to grow up."

Gu An'an: ...Are kids these days precocious?

Fortunately, Xiao Yuheng has been busy these past few days, and Gu An'an is asleep when he comes back each day. Otherwise, upon hearing this, his jealousy would have boiled over again.

Time flies, and before long, it was time for Xiao Yuheng to leave.

"You must take good care of yourself while I'm away. Don't reach for high places, don't run or jump, and call your aunt if anything happens. Your safety is the most important thing, understand?"

Gu An'an was picking up his things when she saw him nagging incessantly behind her, so she simply plopped back down on the bed and said, "Okay, okay, since you're so free, you can pack your own luggage."

"An'an, you're making me so sad."

Such poor acting skills are immediately apparent; you can tell at a glance that the other person is acting.

"If you keep repeating this, I can make you even more heartbroken, believe it or not?"
