"Do you think if we live separately, they won't hate me anymore? Then I tell you, they will only hate me more and think I kidnapped their son.

Lu Chen, you know my situation. I have always hoped to have a warm and happy home where my family can live together in harmony.

Your mother has already been prejudiced against me without even meeting me. Do you think we'll be happy together in the future? I don't want to spend the rest of my life dealing with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

Lu Chen watched Cheng Mingyue's eyes looking at him change from full of hope yesterday to clear and bright today. He felt as if he saw something moving away from him, and he felt very anxious.

Lu Chen held Cheng Mingyue's hand tightly, his eyes were panicked, and even his voice was trembling.

"Mingyue, please don't sentence me to death directly, okay?

I have been on missions outside for the past two years and have never been with my parents. As soon as I finished my mission and cleaned up the wedding room, I rushed back to find you. I had no idea that she had such a big prejudice against you.

Mingyue, give me some time, I will make them accept you and will never let you down in the slightest. Do you believe me?"

Lu Chen was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. Cheng Mingyue reached out to wipe the sweat off his face and sighed almost inaudibly.

"Okay, I'll give you some time. You're the first man I've ever fallen in love with, and I don't want this relationship to end in vain because of something else. For you and for myself, let's work hard together."

She wanted to give herself an explanation so that even if she and Lu Chen really broke up in the future, she would not have any regrets.

Lu Chen's roller-coaster heart finally calmed down a little after hearing Cheng Mingyue's words.

Now that she had figured it out, Cheng Mingyue stopped being hesitant and started asking about other things.

"How's that Xiao Yaoyao?"

I know how much harm that woman has done to me. She is going to Beijing again soon, so I have to find out everything to know for sure.

"I heard she got married. The man is a drunkard. Now she has a daughter who is only a few months old."

When Xiao Yaoyao was mentioned, Lu Chen's nerves finally relaxed. He pulled Cheng Mingyue to sit on the edge of the kang and began to tell her everything.

Cheng Mingyue's gaze fell on their folded hands, her eyes flashed slightly, and she didn't say anything, letting Lu Chen hold her hand.

When Lu Chen saw Cheng Mingyue look away, his heart started beating wildly like a rabbit in his chest. At the same time, a sweet feeling surged in his heart. He felt dizzy and his head was a mess.

Cheng Mingyue pretended not to notice Lu Chen's intoxicated look and asked softly:

"What about Xiao Ping? Didn't he covet your cousin before?"

As Cheng Mingyue finished speaking, Lu Chen's mind finally regained some clarity. He coughed lightly:

"I heard he had a conflict with some low-lifes and had three of his legs crippled. Now he looks neither human nor ghost."

After Lu Chen finished speaking, a bloodthirsty arc appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Cheng Mingyue thought for a moment. The brother and sister were so miserable, it must be the work of Lu Chen and his grandparents and uncles. However, it had nothing to do with her. She just wanted to make sure that Xiao Yaoyao could not continue to harm others.

After chatting about these trivial matters, both of them fell silent and the air suddenly became eerily quiet.

After a long time, Cheng Mingyue felt her hand being held tighter, and suddenly heard Lu Chen's deep voice:

"Baby, have you missed me in these two years?"

Cheng Mingyue still didn't speak, but heard Lu Chen continue: "I miss you very much, I think of you all the time, especially at night, your figure is always lingering in my mind.

I wonder what you are doing, and whether you are thinking about me as much as I am thinking about you.

Lu Chen's voice was deep as he spoke again: "There was a very close call once. A bullet flew directly over my head, missing it by just a few centimeters. If it had hit me, I might not have been able to come back to see you alive. I was terrified at the time, but I knew I couldn't back down.

During my time in the Baihe Brigade, I understood a truth: only when I climb higher can I protect the people I want to protect. Baby, can you understand my heart?

Lu Chen's voice was low and hoarse. Cheng Mingyue seemed to see the determined figure moving through the hail of bullets, and her heart trembled. Cheng Mingyue held Lu Chen's somewhat cold fingertips.

With just that gentle grip, Lu Chen felt his heart burning hot, and his heart, which was cold yesterday, began to boil again.

Neither of them spoke after that, but the distance between them became much closer.

After a long while, Cheng Mingyue turned her head and looked at Lu Chen, "Why don't you go back early? Your parents are staying in town and they don't know anyone there..."

"They have lived abroad for many years. What do they have to worry about in China?"

Although Lu Chen said this, he was grateful for Cheng Mingyue's kindness, and his heart was even warmer. He wanted to hold Cheng Mingyue tightly in his arms, but in the end he just looked at her deeply and said reluctantly:

"Baby, I'm going back first. I'll pick you up after the New Year and we'll go back to Beijing together!"

Cheng Mingyue nodded and couldn't help but say, "Go back and talk to your parents. Don't get angry."

When Lu Chen left, the entire Cheng family came out to see him off. Cheng Xiangdong and Cheng Xiangnan even awkwardly called him "brother-in-law."

"Mom and Dad, Big Brother, Second Brother, Big Sister-in-law, Little Dragon and Little Tiger, please go back to the house quickly. I will come to pick up Mingyue to go to school in Beijing after the New Year."

After Lu Chen finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Mingyue reluctantly, then rode his bicycle away.
