Bai Shuang had no idea before that her master's wife was so calculating and greedy.
Logically speaking, the position she arranged for Uncle Mike was already quite high, and since it involved fuel, it was a lucrative job. With Uncle Mike's abilities, this position was the best he could have gotten.
She's got her eye on my spot again!
Her words implied that her martial uncle should take her place! But could she really do it?
First, he has no merits for the base and cannot win the support of the people.
Second, he lacked the ability to oversee the overall situation and coordinate various aspects.
Before the disaster, he was a businessman, and he was based abroad. He didn't know much about the domestic situation, and he had never been involved in administration.
As for Auntie bringing her junior sister over tonight, it wasn't really to help Bai Shuang, but rather she had her eye on the young talents around Lu Yu, hoping to snag a rich husband.
My junior sister is completely unaccustomed to housework and can't cook.
Auntie Shi does know how to cook, but since they always had a nanny at home, she avoids cooking whenever possible.
You can tell from their clothes that Aunt Shi was wearing a long-sleeved cheongsam with a yellow background and floral print.
The junior sister wore a short cardigan white down jacket over a black dress and high-heeled boots.
In this day and age, dressed like that, no one would believe she's there to help with cooking; she'd be more like attending a banquet.
The outfit that my junior sister is wearing was actually given to her by Bai Shuang before. She had been envious of Bai Shuang wearing it.
At the time, I thought that it was normal for a young girl to care about her appearance as she grew up, so I gave it to her. I had plenty of nice clothes myself, so I didn't care.
I never expected her to become so vain! Is it really necessary to dig out all her best clothes to wear just to visit her senior's house?
Fortunately, Bai Shuang hasn't given her any cosmetics lately, otherwise she would definitely have put on heavy makeup again.
As a result, when people looked at her, it was as abrupt as looking at a gorilla.
My junior sister wasn't like this before. She was a smart, cute, sunny, and innocent girl. She was all led astray by her aunt.
Although Aunt Shi used to be arrogant and looked down on this and that, she was never like this, only focusing on the high places.
Perhaps spurred on by the status of Bai Shuang and her husband, he became obsessed with comparing himself to them.
Whatever, I'm not going to change it. At most, we'll just have less contact in the future.
However, Bai Shuang believed that her martial uncle was still rational and wouldn't let them go too far.
My junior brother taught her quite well, but my senior uncle probably just thought that his daughter's education wasn't important.
If you have time, remind your uncle to see if your junior sister's righteous but lazy nature can be salvaged.
As for who she pursues? Bai Shuang doesn't want to get involved in that matter.
Of the four, Wang Bin and Liu Dong have both found female soldiers as partners, Xiao Yang also has a female soldier pursuing him, but nothing is confirmed yet. The only one who is truly single is Xiao Zhao.
If the two people really like each other, then that's fine; if not, then forget it.
Bai Shuang got involved in Bai Jiu's engagement because she considered them her brothers; she didn't want to bother with anyone else.
In Bai Shuang's and Lu Yu's positions, they need to be especially careful about their words and actions.
If she recommends her junior colleague, even if it's just a casual inquiry, the other person will think a lot about it.
If the other party likes it, fine; if not, they'll consider offending Bai Shuang. They might even pursue their junior sister just to curry favor with them.
Therefore, Bai Shuang would never and could not participate, and she now looked down on the behavior of her aunt and her daughter.
Not only does my aunt not work, but my junior sister is so young, and she doesn't work either? She's always aiming too high, can't endure hardship, and is ignorant and incompetent.
It turns out that he only started learning martial arts because Bai Shuang reminded him, and he only learned a little bit before abandoning it.
My junior brother is a boy, so his senior uncle has been teaching him pharmacy.
As for my junior sister, my uncle doesn't care, but my aunt believes that her daughter is born to be a noblewoman, who will be supported by a man in the future and will not have to work or do any labor.
The group chatted idly when they heard a knock at the door. Bai Jiu quickly went to open it, and Bai Chang and Bai Shuang couldn't help but follow him.
"Woof woof woof..."
Before the door was even opened, the voices of Snow Leopard and Flower could be heard.
Then, the two squeezed through the crack in the door and pounced on Bai Shuang.
"Wife!"
Lu Yu was faster than them, shoving them aside and pulling Bai Shuang into his arms.
The two of them started whimpering to the side, as if they were trying to steal our owner. Let's see who can win.
The snow leopard rushed up to push Lu Yu aside, and Hua Hua also went up to help her husband.
Bai Jiu and the other person quickly stopped one of them.
Now that the young lady is pregnant, we can't let this happen.
Bai Shuang: "Alright, alright, you guys go take a shower, change your clothes, and then eat."
Besides Lu Yu and his three companions, Uncle Mike also arrived, and Deputy Chief Zhu shamelessly followed along as well.
"Madam, I have completed the task you assigned me. Please put in a good word for me in front of the commander."
“I keep my word. I will not pursue this matter further. As for what your leader does, that is his business.”
General Zhu was truly frustrated; these two were like two separate checkpoints! Alas, it was all his fault.
Bai Shuang didn't want to talk about work at this moment; she was pregnant and got hungry quickly.
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Since you're here, let's have dinner together."
Since Lu Yu brought him along, nothing serious is likely to happen; no one is perfect.
During the meal, Lu Yu peeled shrimp for Bai Shuang from time to time.
Aunt: "Shuangshuang, you can't eat seafood while pregnant."
"Auntie, it's okay to eat some, don't forget I'm a doctor."
Uncle-Master: "You don't need to remind me of these things; Shuangshuang knows more than you do."
Aunt: "I almost forgot, concern makes one lose their composure."
After they finished eating, as they were leaving, Aunt Shi said to Lu Yu, "Shuangshuang, you're very tired during your pregnancy. If you can't handle it, you shouldn't work anymore."
Bai Shuang: "Auntie is getting old, so please don't worry about it anymore. I have my own plans."
The uncle pulled his wife outside, saying, "The child understands better than you do."
After they left, Lu Yu asked Bai Shuang, "Are you very tired? Why don't you stop working?"
Bai Shuang shook her head, "It's alright, I just feel heavier than before, but I don't have any other discomfort."
"Work is fine, pregnant women need to be active."
After feeding the snow leopard and Hua Hua, Bai Shuang put them into her space to reunite with the cubs.
Lu Yu picked up his wife and carried her to the bed.
It's been more than four months. We've never been apart for so long since we got married. We miss each other terribly.
When we're together, we don't realize it, but when we're apart, we feel like we're missing a strong arm.
After he left, Bai Shuang felt a huge void in her heart and a much heavier burden on her shoulders.
Lu Yu was the same; usually, the two of them would go out together, but this time, without Bai Shuang's help, everything became much more difficult.
Now that they've been separated for so long, they can't wait to stick together and never be apart.
"Alright, stop fooling around, we have a child."
