"This is not your fault."
Mr. Lu shook his head, crying, "It's my fault as a father. If I had found you sooner, I could have stopped this and prevented you from taking this risk."
He would rather give up his current position than let his son take such a risk.
"This is my own choice, and it has nothing to do with you."
If he could do it all over again, Lu Jingnian would still do the same thing.
He was willing to give his own life for Jiang Yue as long as she could live.
After leaving the study, Lu Jingnian saw that Madam Lu had gone to the kitchen, so he followed her.
Seeing that Madam Lu was about to pour water, Lu Jingnian went over and took the cup from her hand. "Mom, let me do it!"
mom?
Did Jing Nian just call her "Mom"?
Madam Lu was completely stunned, staring blankly at Lu Jingnian for a long time before she could react to the word "Mom".
"Jing Nian, you...you just called me Mom?"
Her son finally agreed to acknowledge her?
"mom."
Lu Jingnian called out again.
"Sigh! Sigh!"
Madam Lu was overjoyed and wept uncontrollably, embracing Lu Jingnian.
"A-Nian, Mom has finally found you, finally found you again..."
Jiang Yue, who came out of the room, couldn't help but tear up when she saw this scene.
She knew that someone as kind and gentle as Lu Jingnian couldn't possibly disown the Lu family forever.
As for why he changed his address at this time and called Madam Lu "Mom," Jiang Yue had probably already guessed the reason.
Madam Lu released Lu Jingnian only after she had cried enough.
Jiang Yue came over with tissues and called out "Mom" as well.
"Mom, Jingnian is back now, which is a happy thing. You can't cry anymore."
Madam Lu is not in good health; she can't keep crying like this.
"Yueyue is right, this is a happy thing, I'm crying tears of joy..."
After appeasing Madam Lu, Lu Jingnian said, "Mom, I'll be going back to the army soon. I've been away from the army for a while, and I'll be very busy when I get back."
I guess I won't be able to come back for the Chinese New Year.
Dad and I just discussed it, and we're thinking of having you go back to Kyoto with him.
"Dad works in Kyoto, and it's already quite difficult for him to stay in City A with you for so long. He's too busy to travel between the two places."
We're really worried about having you and Yueyue living alone in this courtyard, with no men in the house at all.
Madam Lu was initially very happy, but after hearing Lu Jingnian's words, she felt somewhat disappointed.
"I can take care of myself and won't cause you any trouble."
Madam Lu said that she just wanted to be closer to Lu Jingnian and Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue had long guessed Lu Jingnian's purpose.
"Mom." Jiang Yue pulled Madam Lu up from the sofa. "Come with me, I have something to tell you privately."
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, Lu Jingnian saw Jiang Yue pull Madam Lu to the empty bedroom next door. The two talked about something inside, and soon Madam Lu came out happily.
"Alright, since you all don't trust me to stay here, I'll go back to Kyoto first."
Lu Jingnian and his father were both stunned, especially his father, who had been trying to persuade his wife to return to the capital for several days, but to no avail.
What exactly did Jiang Yue say that made her agree to return to Kyoto so easily?
Lu Jingnian looked at Jiang Yue with a puzzled expression, while Jiang Yue smiled and raised her eyebrows at him triumphantly.
After Madam Lu finished speaking, she turned to Jiang Yue and said, "Yueyue, you can't lie to me. You must come to Kyoto to see me in a while."
Jiang Yue smiled and nodded, "I promise I will definitely come to Kyoto to see you in a while."
Nine o'clock in the evening.
Lu Jingnian drove Jiang Yue away from the hotel, and on the way, Lu Jingnian couldn't help but ask her.
What did you say to Mom?
"How could they have gotten her to agree to go back to Kyoto so easily?"
It was obvious that Madam Lu did not want to go back after hearing his words.
"This is a little secret between my mom and me, I can't tell you."
Jiang Yue shook her head mysteriously, refusing to say a word.
Lu Jingnian: "..."
Upon returning to the Jiang family home, Jiang Yue and Lu Jingnian found the living room empty and went straight to their room.
Jiang Yue was a little tired and wanted to take a shower after returning home.
In the past, Lu Jingnian might have showered with her, and the two of them would have joked around in the bathroom for a while, but not now.
The doctor said that the medicine was not good for the body; it was okay to take it occasionally, but not frequently.
Jiang Yue now wants a child, and Lu Jingnian knows he won't be able to resist if she pesters him. So, for safety's sake, he makes up an excuse.
"I'm going downstairs to make a phone call. You go take a shower first."
He made frequent phone calls, and Jiang Yue didn't suspect him. She nodded and went into the bathroom.
Lu Jingnian went downstairs and stood there for a while, calculating the time until Jiang Yue had almost finished showering, before taking a cup of warm milk upstairs.
When he returned to his room, just as he expected, Jiang Yue was coming out of the bathroom, drying her hair.
Lu Jingnian handed the milk to Jiang Yue, saying, "I heard that drinking a glass of milk before bed is good for your health, so I specially heated up a glass for you downstairs."
Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, then took the milk from his hand and drank it in front of him.
Lu Jingnian watched Jiang Yue drink the milk, his expression unchanged, but his clenched palms were covered in a fine layer of sweat.
"I've finished drinking."
Jiang Yue showed the empty cup to Lu Jingnian, then frowned and said, "Lu Jingnian, I think this milk tastes very bitter."
