After sending Yao Hua back to her room, Jiang Yue returned to the kitchen instead of going back to her own room.
Jiang Yue planned to talk to Lu Jingnian about it after she returned to her room, but she was afraid that Lu Jingnian would be conflicted and upset if she did, so she decided to make him a nice fruit platter first to cheer him up before bringing it up.
Because Grandma Jiang loves fruit, the Jiang family always has a supply of fruit. Every day when Aunt Zhang goes to buy groceries, she brings back some fresh fruit.
She found a few fruits that Lu Jingnian liked to eat, cut them up, arranged them on a plate in a nice way, then cleaned up the kitchen and carried the fruit plate back to her room.
When Jiang Yue opened the door with a fruit platter, Lu Jingnian was sitting at his desk writing something. Upon seeing Jiang Yue return, he immediately put away what he was writing.
His movements were somewhat flustered, as if he was afraid Jiang Yue would see him.
Jiang Yue glanced at him suspiciously, then walked over with the fruit platter and placed it on the table in front of Lu Jingnian. She sat directly on his lap, smiled, and reached out to lift his chin, asking, "What were you writing just now? You looked like you were afraid I would see it. Did you do something bad behind my back?"
Lu Jingnian reached out and supported her waist, shaking his head with a wry smile. "I'm at work, and it's all confidential. I definitely can't let you see it."
Jiang Yue pouted, "Since it's confidential work, how dare you bring it home? Aren't you afraid I'll accidentally see it?"
Lu Jingnian smiled and gently pinched Jiang Yue's waist. "I know you would never rummage through my things. I trust you."
Hearing his explanation, Jiang Yue smiled like a little fox, "Lu Jingnian, who said you don't know how to coax women? You're obviously very good at it."
Lu Jingnian sat in the chair, his hand that was supporting Jiang Yue's waist slowly moved to her back, and with a little force, pulled Jiang Yue into his arms. He lowered his head and whispered a low, teasing voice in Jiang Yue's ear.
"That's because my Yueyue is too good; I don't need to coax her at all."
Jiang Yue is really easy to coax, or rather, he doesn't need to coax her at all.
Because Jiang Yue is usually the one who makes him happy.
The man's hot breath sprayed onto Jiang Yue's neck, making her feel a little itchy, but she hadn't been feeling well these past few days.
Fearing she might lose control, Jiang Yue quickly sat up straight, smiled sweetly, and picked up the fruit on the table to feed Lu Jingnian.
"Honey, have you finished your work? If not, I'll go out for a bit and come back in when you're done."
"I'm all done."
Lu Jingnian couldn't bear to let her go out so late at night, especially since he wasn't actually working; he was just making up an excuse.
"Are you tired? Let me massage your shoulders."
Jiang Yue got off Lu Jingnian and went behind him to give him a massage.
"Honey, have some fruit. I cut it especially for you; it's all your favorites."
"Yueyue, is there something you want to tell me?"
Lu Jingnian looked at the fruit plate on the table and asked with a smile.
How could Lu Jingnian not see through Jiang Yue's deliberate attempt to please him?
"Honey, you're amazing! There's nothing I can hide from you."
Jiang Yue gently massaged Lu Jingnian's shoulders. When she touched the area where he had been injured, she felt a slight pain in her own shoulder and frowned slightly.
When she was pinching, she carefully avoided the places where Lu Jingnian had been injured before.
Lu Jingnian had said before that his injury was completely healed, but he didn't tell her that this spot would still hurt when it came into contact with external force. If Jiang Yue hadn't been able to feel his pain, given Lu Jingnian's calm and unresponsive attitude, she would never have guessed that his wound still hurt.
Lu Jingnian took Jiang Yue's hand and led her to sit in his lap, asking softly, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yue looked at him and patted his head tenderly. "Honey, when I went to school today, Xiangxiang told me that Aunt Liang knew I was sick and came to visit us at home during the day, but we were on our way back then, so we didn't see her."
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, she clearly felt Lu Jingnian's hand around her waist freeze.
"Honey, Xiangxiang said that Aunt Liang hasn't been doing too well these past few days. I was thinking that you're taking me to the hotel to meet some masters tomorrow, and Aunt Liang is staying there too. Why don't we buy some tonics and go check on her?"
After listening, Lu Jingnian looked at Jiang Yue and thought for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Jiang Yue hugged him tenderly, "Husband, no matter what, I will always be with you."
...
The next day.
Jiang Yue woke up early.
Looking at Lu Jingnian, who was unusually still asleep beside her, Jiang Yue kissed him on the forehead, lifted the covers, and quietly got out of bed.
But as soon as she sat up, the man's hand was around her waist.
"Why are you up so early?"
Lu Jingnian opened his eyes, his gaze still slightly dazed and languid from just waking up. "Why are you awake? Did I wake you?"
Jiang Yue was pulled back to lie down by Lu Jingnian.
"No, I wake up around this time every day." Lu Jingnian hugged Jiang Yue and kissed her on the cheek. His stubble was a bit prickly after sleeping all night.
When he tried to kiss her again, Jiang Yue covered his mouth in disgust.
Lu Jingnian felt extremely wronged. "Jiang Yue, do you dislike me?"
She stopped calling him "Yueyue" and started calling him by his name directly, which shows how aggrieved she was.
"nonsense."
Even if you dislike someone, you can't tell the truth. Jiang Yue cupped his face and kissed him on the lips. "I didn't dislike you. It's just that your stubble hurt my face."
After saying that, Jiang Yue saw that he looked even more aggrieved, so she smiled and pushed him, "Now that you're awake, hurry up and get up and shave your beard, then I'll let you kiss me as much as you want."
"No more kissing."
Lu Jing snorted lightly, turned away from Jiang Yue, and did not get up.
Jiang Yue stared in shock at the man who was sulking with his back to her.
"Lu Jingnian, you've really grown up, haven't you? You're actually throwing a tantrum now?"
This was the first time Jiang Yue had seen Lu Jingnian throw a tantrum at her. When Lu Jingnian was angry, he completely lost his usual cold demeanor and became more gentle and aggrieved.
Jiang Yue felt a little abnormal. Looking at Lu Jingnian, she not only didn't dislike his tantrums, but found him extremely cute, and she even wanted to laugh.
But she didn't dare to actually laugh, afraid that if she did, Lu Jingnian would be so angry that he would cry.
Are you angry?
Jiang Yue bent down and hugged Lu Jingnian from behind, kissing him on the cheek. "Don't be angry, I was wrong, okay?"
"Don't touch me."
Battalion Commander Lu reached out and pushed Jiang Yue away, his voice carrying a hint of grievance, just like a bullied little wife.
