"You two have no ability at all. You might as well marry me. Your career in the army will be smoother after you marry me."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't like me. It doesn't matter if you sleep in a separate bed from me after marriage. I just want to find a suitable man to marry."

"And you are currently the most suitable candidate for me. How about you give it some careful consideration?"

As Liu Mingxia spoke, she observed Lu Zhengguo's expression calmly.

Unfortunately, she still couldn't see it, and she couldn't help feeling frustrated. This man was really stubborn. Could it be that his ex-wife was really that good, so good that he didn't even care about her future?

If she had the chance, she would like to go and see what kind of person Lu Zhengguo's ex-wife is.

Lu Zhengguo was silent for a moment, and then he said, "Please clarify the rumors. I have no plans to remarry."

Liu Mingxia was a little surprised, "You didn't deny it before."

Generally speaking, if there is no denial, it is the default.

He had clearly thought about it, so why did he regret it now?

Lu Zhengguo's eyes dimmed, "I didn't admit it."

He admitted that he had some intention of using a fake marital relationship to gain an opportunity to quickly climb up the career ladder.

But... he couldn't seem to do it, absolutely couldn't do it to marry a woman he didn't like.

Even if... they had already discussed it in advance that they would only be husband and wife in name only after marriage, not in reality.

He still can't do it.

Looking at Lu Zhengguo's cold and heartless look, Liu Mingxia felt a little sour in her heart and was angry and annoyed.

"So, you're not going to marry me as planned?"

"You know, because I've been so close to you lately, our relationship has spread. In other people's eyes, we are an engaged couple who are about to get married."

She didn't believe that this man could be so heartless.

Obviously in her memory, he was the most responsible one.

As long as they were married, given his personality, he would definitely not ignore her. After a long time, she was fully confident that she could eliminate that woman from his heart.

Lu Zhengguo shook his head, "When you mentioned this to me, you should have considered the consequences. I haven't agreed to you yet, so I don't regret it."

"As for your reputation, I believe that with your ability, you will be able to handle this well."

From the first time he saw her, he knew that this woman was not a simple woman at all.

Although he didn't think he was very charming, he was still afraid of causing trouble in the future.

Instead of relying on external forces to climb up quickly, it is better to rely on yourself.

What's more, he didn't want... Shen Man to misunderstand.

Liu Mingxia was so angry that her face looked extremely ugly.

She took a deep breath, still maintaining her demeanor as a leader's daughter.

"Captain Lu, are you sure?"

"Don't you know the consequences of playing tricks on me?"

Her father is his boss.

Lu Zhengguo glanced at her and said, "It's up to you."

Then he turned and walked away.

Liu Mingxia bit her lip and stared at the direction where Lu Zhengguo left. Her lips were even stained with blood, but she didn't care at all.

He was just taking advantage of her love for him, that's why he was so reckless.

녦껩It was precisely because she loved him that she couldn't bear to set him off.

Fortunately, he and that woman have divorced.

This time, she was going to get him no matter what.

…

The sky gradually became warmer, and in a blink of an eye it was New Year's Eve.

The warm sunlight gently fell on the ground, the frost melted, and the family compound was filled with the laughter of children.

The new year is coming.

Early in the morning, Yang Fang went to the town to buy New Year's goods. She is now familiar with all the sisters-in-law in the compound.

Every time she does something, someone will come and call her to join them, and always keep her company when there is something good to do.

Gu Qinglin's injury has almost healed, and he will continue his mission after the New Year.

Therefore, everything he does now basically involves accompanying Shen Man and taking care of her.

Shen Man's due date is probably around the Chinese New Year. Twins could be born prematurely at any time. Yang Fang has already prepared everything that needs to be prepared and is just waiting for the baby to be born.

On New Year's Eve, everyone in the family was busy except Shen Man, who lay in bed and slept until noon.

Gu Qinglin cleaned the house inside and out. When he finished, he returned to the room and found that the person on the bed was still sleeping.

He looked up at the scene outside, then raised his wrist to check his watch and sighed helplessly.

"Manman, wake up, it's time to get up and have lunch."

Gu Qinglin leaned over and stretched out his hand to push away the messy hair on Shen Man's face, revealing a face that was becoming more and more charming and attractive, especially her fair and tender skin, which he didn't know how she maintained it.

Gu Qinglin couldn't help but reach out to touch it when he saw it.

Shen Man, who was half asleep, slapped his face subconsciously and muttered a few words.

Gu Qinglin was stunned for a moment. He couldn't hear what she said, so he lowered his head to listen carefully. Unexpectedly, he was slapped hard in the face.

It hurts a lot. The other party didn't hold back at all.

But this time he heard it clearly.

Gu Qinglin touched his slightly flushed face, looked down at the woman's charming face, and sighed helplessly.

Never mind. She's fine anyway. Let her sleep a little longer.

Otherwise, you will be treated as a dead mosquito.

Gu Qinglin's gaze gradually moved from Shen Man's face to her round belly. His brows softened and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

In a few days, the four of them would be able to be together.

Before, he had never thought that marriage could bring such happiness.

Shen Man slept until about one in the afternoon. When she woke up, Yang Fang and Shen Mingxiao had returned after buying New Year's goods.

Although I bought some before, I could only buy fresh dishes for the New Year, either on the day before the New Year or early in the morning on New Year's Eve.

Because it is Chinese New Year, many things that are not normally available can be bought without tickets, or special tickets will be issued to purchase them.

Shen Man put on her clothes inside the house and walked out holding her round belly. When she saw the pile of things on the table, she was stunned.

"Mom, why did you buy so much? Can we finish it?"

Yang Fang rolled her eyes at her and sorted the things out. What needed to be cooked today was cooked today, and what needed to be put away was left there.

"Why can't you finish it? Look at these big potatoes. They can be put in more. It's okay to put more carrots. And these Chinese cabbages and green vegetables are best for pickling kimchi. And this..."

Shen Man saw that she was in high spirits, so she could only stand aside and watch, nodding in agreement from time to time, "Yes, I think so..."

Suddenly, as she was talking, her stomach started to hurt. Shen Man's face turned pale and something seemed to be flowing down there. She immediately realized something was wrong and quickly called for help.

"Mom, Mom, it hurts, I...I think I'm about to give birth..."
