Chapter 504: Don’t Like Being Jealous
“What do you mean?” This time, Lu Jingchen was obviously much more interested. He glanced sideways at his wife, waiting for her answer.
Xia Qingxiang smiled and pretended to be serious and said,
"She said that everyone in the army is curious about why our family often buys vinegar, and whether Captain Lu likes to be jealous."
"Nonsense." Lu Jingchen obviously raised his voice and said, after that, he was a little lacking in confidence and whispered,
"Who likes to eat it?"
"Yes, that's what I told her." Xia Qingxiang continued seriously,
"I said no one in our family likes to be jealous. I don't like it, and Captain Lu likes it even less." After that, she tilted her head and looked at Lu Jingchen, her big eyes flickering,
"Right, Captain Lu."
Lu Jingchen then realized that his wife was coaxing him, and finally there was a hint of smile on his face, and then he replied in a deep voice with one word:
"Yes."
At this time Xia Qingling suddenly came over and said to him in a smaller voice:
"Actually, the people in the army didn't say that."
"Huh?"
In Lu Jingzhen's puzzled eyes, Xia Qingling smiled with eyes crooked, and praised:
"They said you are a model husband in the army, caring about and loving your wife. We want to learn from you."
Originally thought that Lu Jingzhen would only be a little happy after hearing these words, but the next second heard him answer without humility:
"They are right!"
It is true that those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black!
In the past, Xia Qingli only thought that the third brother Su Xiangnan was thick-skinned, but she didn't expect that Lu Jingchen was also "infected" by him, and now he is not humble at all when he speaks.
Xia Qingxi was sighing at Lu Jingchen's thick skin, but suddenly he raised his hands and pulled her into his arms, hugged her from behind, rested his chin on her neck, and asked her in a tender and seductive voice:
"Don't you think so?"
His hot breath lingered around Xia Qingxi's neck. They hadn't been intimate for a long time since she got pregnant. When he hugged her and teased her, Xia Qingxi's heart beat violently, just like the first time she was intimate with him.
She turned around and was about to talk to Lu Jingchen, but the next moment he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
The outburst after repression seemed uncontrollable, but it was limited to a kiss. Xia Qingqing had gone through so much difficulty to give birth to the child, and Lu Jingzhen wanted to let her recuperate for a while, and only when her body fully recovered would he be intimate with her.
The two reluctantly parted. Lu Jingzhen hugged Xia Qingying and did not continue the previous topic, but said:
"They will have their wedding the day after tomorrow, so let's move Tuantuan's full moon celebration to two days later."
"Yeah, okay." Xia Qingying nodded, and then asked:
"Hold it at home or in the cafeteria?"
"Just hold it at home." Lu Jingzhen thought for a while and continued:
"Mom has been very tired taking care of the children recently, so I won't let her cook. When the time comes, ask the comrades in the kitchen team to come and help, and then pay them their wages."
Seeing that Lu Jingzhen was so thoughtful, Xia Qingying was very pleased and nodded in response:
"Okay."
At this time, Tuan Tuan's crying voice came over. Xia Qingxi was about to go out. Lu Jingchen said to her:
"He must be hungry. I'll go and bring him in. You feed him in the house." Then he let go of Xia Qingxi's hand and walked out of the house.
*
At the beginning of the year, there were no new tasks assigned to the troops, so apart from the daily training of soldiers, Lu Jingchen and Su Xiangnan were not too busy and could get off work on time almost every day.
Because Xia Qingxi was in confinement, Lu Jingchen was in a hurry to go home after work, and Su Xiangnan had to go to the art troupe to pick up Moya, so although the two lived close to each other, they rarely went back together on weekdays.
After work today, Lu Jingchen walked out alone as usual. As soon as he walked downstairs, Su Xiangnan caught up with him and said that he wanted to go with him.
Lu Jingchen was puzzled. Usually Su Xiangnan would go to pick up Mo Ya, as if he couldn't leave his wife for a moment. Why did he suddenly want to go back with him today?
"Isn't your third sister-in-law's teammate, the one named Yunxiang, getting married tomorrow? Invite her to help decorate the new house tonight." Seeing Lu Jingchen's confusion, Su Xiangnan took the initiative to "explain".
No wonder he wanted to go back with him, so this is the reason.
The two talked as they walked. As soon as they walked out of the regiment headquarters, they saw Mo Xiaoxiao and Su Xiangxi walking towards them.
After all, they were brothers. Even if they disliked Mo Xiaoxiao, the two still greeted Su Xiangxi.
Su Xiangxi also responded, but he was not enthusiastic. Instead, Mo Xiaoxiao took the initiative to approach and talk to Lu Jingchen and Su Xiangnan when she saw them.
The two did not look good to Mo Xiaoxiao. They were too lazy to pretend. They ignored her and walked forward.
Although Su Xiangxi was not a blood of the Su family, the brothers never treated him as an outsider. However, he had a grudge in his heart and could not let it go. The relationship was not as close as that between the other brothers.
After the two walked a distance away, Su Xiangnan complained to Lu Jingchen with dissatisfaction in his tone:
"I don't know what my second brother likes about this Mo Xiaoxiao. I advised him before not to get too close to her, but he didn't listen and got angry with me. Oh... If he really marries her in the future, it's annoying just to think about it."
"It's not you who is marrying her, what are you upset about?" Lu Jingchen said in a deep voice, his attitude was obviously much calmer than Su Xiangnan.
"Why should I be upset? If he really marries her, he will have to eat at the same table with her at family gatherings in the future. My wife and your wife will become sisters-in-law with her. Just think about how annoying this relationship will be." Su Xiangnan became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was going to turn around and wake up the stubborn second brother in the next second.
Lu Jingzhen did not answer Su Xiangnan's words, his face was gloomy, as if he was thinking.
"That Mo Xiaoxiao is so mean, and she always wants to harm my wife. If she dares to do anything behind my back in the future, even if she enters the Su family, I will not be polite to her, I don't care if she is my second sister-in-law." Su Xiangnan continued to speak angrily, unconsciously clenching his fists, and continued:
"If Su Xiangxi is stubborn and insists on protecting her, I will beat him up too."
Seeing Su Xiangnan looking for someone to fight, Lu Jingzhen knew in his heart that if Mo Xiaoxiao was really involved, the relationship between them and Su Xiangxi would never be like when they were kids, where they could just fight and solve the problem and still be good brothers.
Since he couldn't stop the two from dating, he had to find evidence as soon as possible to punish Mo Xiaoxiao for what she had done before and let his third brother see her true colors.
As for Huang Caiping, he didn't give up and sent two people to keep an eye on her mental state.
After all, they are brothers. After Su Xiangnan complained a few times, he did not continue the topic. After the two walked for a while, he suddenly smiled and looked at Lu Jingchen and asked:
"Fourth brother, how is your sister-in-law's health recently? Is she recovering well?"
"Not bad." Lu Jingchen was thinking and replied in a deep voice.
"How is Tuantuan? How does she look?"
"Not bad."
"Is she noisy at night? Can you sleep through the night?"
Listening to Su Xiangnan's questions, which were more and more meaningless, Lu Jingchen could not help but turn his head and look at him with a scrutinizing look.
Su Xiangnan and Mo Ya came to the house to see Ah Xi and the children these two days. How could he not know whether they were okay?
"Don't talk nonsense, just speak your mind." Lu looked at Su Xiangnan in shock and said directly.
