The morning sunlight shone through the white curtains onto the bed.
Jiang Yue opened her eyes groggily and was immediately pulled into someone's arms.
"Didn't you say you were going out today? Why didn't you leave?"
Jiang Yue was somewhat surprised to see Lu Jingnian on the bed.
Previously, if he had something to do the next day, he would leave much earlier.
"I'll leave later."
After Lu Jingnian finished speaking, he tightened his grip on Jiang Yue, making her press even closer to him.
"Is your lower back still sore?"
Lu Jingnian placed his hand on Jiang Yue's waist and gently massaged it.
"It's not sour anymore."
Jiang Yue felt a little ticklish from his touch, and with a smile, she shifted her body, grabbed his hand, and placed it on her lower abdomen.
Lu Jingnian was exceptionally gentle last night, and Jiang Yue didn't feel tired, but...
"Lu Jingnian, you didn't use any protection last night. Do you think I might already be carrying Lu Jingnian in my belly?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingnian stiffened, then quickly hugged Jiang Yue tightly.
"Yueyue, I don't want Lu Jingnian, I want a daughter."
Daughters are so cute; a daughter is her father's little angel.
"That's not something I can decide."
Jiang Yue looked at Lu Jingnian's aggrieved expression and pinched his cheek with a smile.
This time he wasn't faking it; he was genuinely aggrieved.
Jiang Yue didn't know why Lu Jingnian liked his daughter so much.
"Battalion Commander Lu, if you want a daughter, you'll have to work hard yourself. Medically speaking, the sex of a child is actually determined by the man."
Lu Jingnian was shocked and stared at Jiang Yue with wide eyes.
"real?"
This really touched on Lu Jingnian's blind spot; he genuinely didn't know that the sex of a child is determined by the child's father.
"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can ask a doctor."
Jiang Yue had no experience with medicine; she had stumbled upon these things online before, but she only read the titles and didn't click to read the details, so she couldn't explain the reasons to Lu Jingnian.
Lu Jingnian definitely believed Jiang Yue. Hearing her say that, Lu Jingnian pondered for several minutes with a serious expression, and then said to Jiang Yue earnestly, "I will definitely work hard."
Jiang Yue: "..." How can I possibly take something like this seriously?
Jiang Yue's lips twitched, and she patted his shoulder seriously, "Then you should work hard. It's getting late, I need to get up."
Today she's going to the factory and the department store to see how many down jackets the department store sold yesterday.
Seeing that Jiang Yue was about to get up, Lu Jingnian was faster than her and quickly brought over the clothes she wanted to wear.
After Jiang Yue finished dressing and washing up in the bathroom, she still asked Lu Jingnian, who was sitting at his desk writing, with some concern, "Are Big Brother and Yao Yao really alright?"
Last night, Lu Jingnian told her about Jiang Zheng and Duan Suyao.
Jiang Yue did not have any prejudice against Duan Suyao because of the fact that she had hurt Jiang Zheng. On the contrary, she felt very sorry for Duan Suyao.
Now she understands that Jiang Zheng's discharge from the army was not only due to his injuries, but also, most importantly, because of Duan Suyao.
"Don't worry, Duan Suyao is fine now. Big brother will be safe with her."
Lu Jingnian wasn't worried about Jiang Zheng right now. After finishing writing the documents, Lu Jingnian came over and ruffled Jiang Yue's hair. "Don't worry, I don't think our brother wants us to bother him right now."
Men understand men best, and Lu Jingnian knew exactly what Jiang Zheng wanted to do.
"Then I'll listen to you." Jiang Yue thought Lu Jingnian's words made sense. She looked at Lu Jingnian with a smile and a flattering smile on her face. "Commander Lu, I'm going to the department store first. Aren't you going to find Ye Shi'an?"
"It's on my way, could you please give me a ride, Battalion Commander Lu?"
Her ingratiating expression, like a lucky cat beckoning to its prey, amused Lu Jingnian, who was leaning against his desk. "If you're asking Battalion Commander Lu for help, aren't you going to offer him something in return?"
"I'm not asking for your help for my own sake."
Jiang Yue wasn't buying it. She touched her belly, raised an eyebrow, and said slyly, "I'm worried that with your daughter in my belly, walking such a long way will tire her out."
"This is your daughter's request for your help, and you still dare to negotiate with me?"
"You'd better really give me a daughter."
Lu Jingnian sighed with a mixture of indulgence and helplessness, bent down, picked up Jiang Yue, and walked out.
His wife really knows how to manipulate him.
"Why did you suddenly hug me? I can walk by myself."
Jiang Yue struggled in his arms. At this time, her grandmother would usually be downstairs drinking tea. What would it look like if she saw her like this?
“Didn’t you just say that my daughter is afraid of getting tired? I’m afraid of tiring my daughter.”
Lu Jingnian whispered in Jiang Yue's ear, "Don't move around. I promise I'll put you down as soon as we get down the stairs and make sure Grandma and the others don't find out."
Jiang Yue: "..."
Lu Jingnian knew that Jiang Yue was easily embarrassed in public, so he put her down after they went down the stairs.
After getting down from Lu Jingnian's arms, Jiang Yue peeked into the living room to make sure her grandmother hadn't noticed them before she felt relieved. She turned around and gave Lu Jingnian a fierce but cute look before heading to the living room to greet her grandmother and then to the kitchen.
There was still her and Lu Jingnian's breakfast left in the kitchen.
When Aunt Zhang saw Jiang Yue coming over, she quickly and efficiently reheated her breakfast.
Outside, Lu Jingnian was talking to Grandma Jiang, and something he said made Grandma Jiang laugh non-stop.
As soon as Aunt Zhang finished heating up the breakfast, Lu Jingnian entered the kitchen, just as if timed perfectly.
Without Jiang Yue having to lift a finger, he took out all the warmed-up breakfast.
Aunt Zhang couldn't help but feel envious. "Yueyue, Battalion Commander Lu is so good to you, unlike our family's son, who doesn't even know where the dishes and chopsticks are."
"Aunt Zhang, if Uncle Zhang heard what you said, he would probably be sad. As long as you come home, Uncle Zhang will come to pick you up no matter how late it is. He is afraid that you will encounter danger when you come home alone late at night. He also cares about you very much."
Aunt Zhang didn't always live at the Jiang family's house; she often went home to stay.
Every time she came home, Uncle Zhang would pick her up. Uncle Zhang was a man of few words, but he doted on Aunt Zhang.
"He's afraid that if something happens to me, no one will cook for him," Aunt Zhang said, but her smile only widened, clearly a lie.
"Battalion Commander Lu really knows how to take care of people. I'm home every day and I've seen it clearly. During this period, whenever Battalion Commander Lu is home, he won't let you do any work at all."
In all her years of marriage, she had never met a man as caring as Battalion Commander Lu.
What man washes a woman's underwear? She often saw Battalion Commander Lu washing Jiang Yue's clothes.
"Yueyue, a man as good as Battalion Commander Lu is hard to find even with a lantern, you must cherish him."
Aunt Zhang liked Jiang Yue very much, so she spoke to her from the bottom of her heart.
"Aunt Zhang, I know. I will definitely treat Lu Jingnian well."
Jiang Yue answered seriously.
