Jiang Nian was hesitant and dazed, but the old leader just stared at Jiang Nian silently, waiting for her answer.
Inside the car, apart from the young driver who was concentrating on driving, there were only Jiang Nian and the old leader whom he met for the first time.
Jiang Nian had no choice but to answer the old leader's question in this strange atmosphere, "...It is a little hard. The baby will be born soon, and then it will be much easier."
At this point, Jiang Nian gently stroked her belly, thinking that she was carrying twins, and she didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl yet. She didn't know if they would be as cute as little Anbao after they were born.
If they are naughty, having two more noisy children may not make life easier but more tiring.
No one knows what will happen in the future, but when Jiang Nian talked about the future, he couldn't help but smile.
At the side, after hearing what Jiang Nian said, the old leader's mouth twitched and he actually revealed a rare smile. Was he thinking of the baby that was about to be born in Jiang Nian's belly?
Jiang Nian's heart began to beat fast, and he felt that this old leader was a little strange, but magically, the concern from the old leader did not make Jiang Nian feel repulsive, but rather an indescribable closeness.
This may be because... the old leader looks somewhat similar to Qin Sanye, especially between his eyebrows and eyes.
After staring for a long time, the old chief probably realized that this was the first time he and Jiang Nian met. If he asked more questions, it would only arouse Jiang Nian's suspicion. It would be bad if he was regarded as a bad guy and made Jiang Nian nervous all the way.
"Ahem." The old leader coughed a few times in embarrassment and reminded the caring person, "We still have some way to go to Qingcheng. You can rest for a while. If you feel uncomfortable sitting or need to get off, you can tell me at any time."
"Okay, thank you for your concern, old leader." Jiang Nianyu thanked him.
After she woke up from a nightmare last night, she had been busy with plans for the day, waiting for dawn and anxiously looking for Lu Cheng. She was really tired.
The vehicle drove very smoothly on the road, and since it was a military vehicle, Jiang Nian's tense nerves could finally relax.
After a while, she fell asleep in the shaking vehicle.
After a long time.
The young driver turned his head slightly and said, "Old Chief..."
"Shh." The old leader stopped the other person from speaking. He looked at Jiang Nian who was sleeping beside him and didn't want to wake her up. He also noticed Jiang Nian's slightly drooping palm.
Jiang Nian's hands were originally placed on her stomach, but after she fell asleep, they dropped down unconsciously.
Her belly was big, but her limbs were still slender. Her wrists were thin and wrapped with several circles of red thread, which was particularly obvious against her fair skin.
At first, the old leader thought it was just an ordinary red string, but after Jiang Nian fell asleep, his clenched hands loosened slightly, revealing what she was holding in her palms.
——It’s a jade pendant.
Ever since the jade pendant emitted light last night, Jiang Nian was afraid that she would miss its movement if she wore it around her neck, so she took it off her neck, wrapped the red string around her wrist as a bracelet, and held the jade pendant tightly in her palm so she could see it at any time.
The old leader's eyes fell on the jade pendant in Jiang Nian's hand. He looked at it for a long time, with surprise and relief. It was a long time before he withdrew his gaze.
He whispered to the young driver in front of him, who was also his guard, "Xiao Deng, give me your coat."
The military jacket was handed to the old chief from the passenger seat, and then the old chief gently covered Jiang Nian with it.
Jiang Nian's journey to Qingcheng was unusually smooth after he met the old leader. Any inspections along the way were handled by the young driver, making the journey smooth.
Even after getting close to Qingcheng, the roads that had been destroyed by the earthquake were repaired one after another and became lifelines, allowing truckloads of relief supplies to enter Qingcheng smoothly.
