"Does your wife suspect that this matter is related to Jiang Jingjing?" Lu Chen hadn't thought of that aspect.
Reminded of this, Lu Chen immediately realized that something was wrong.
I was so scared that my palms started sweating.
If what Shen Qiaoyue said is true, Ye Hualan's timely appearance disrupted Duan Wenrou's original plan, which is why Shen Qiaoyue escaped a disaster.
Lu Chen tightened his grip on Shen Qiaoyue, looked down to meet her eyes, and felt a strange sense of lingering fear.
"Don't worry, the family compound is very safe now, and the guards won't let anyone in easily." Duan Wenrou was able to come in because Ye Feifei brought her in.
After the incident, when the political commissar spoke with Ye Feifei, she couldn't explain it clearly. Duan Wenrou came to have dinner with her, chatted for a few minutes, and then left.
Lacking evidence, Duan Wenrou kept talking nonsense after the incident, never mentioning anything about the family compound.
"Honey, don't worry, I will definitely find the evidence and make them pay the price," Lu Chen said.
He'd be the first to object to anyone who dared to bully his wife.
Shen Qiaoyue nodded and said, "Then let's rest. Tomorrow is the weekend, and I can stay home with you."
Lu Chen smiled honestly and said, "I won't get a day off tomorrow. I have to go back to the unit. There are a lot of new recruits coming to the company recently, so we need to intensify their training."
"Then you can go home for lunch. I'll cook something delicious for Brother Shen. Lu He will be home tomorrow too. How about we make dumplings?" Shen Qiaoyue likes mushroom dumplings, and it seems like she hasn't had them in a long time.
“I love everything my wife makes. I’ll get up early tomorrow to go grocery shopping so you and Lu He can sleep in a little longer,” Lu Chen said.
Shen Qiaoyue raised an eyebrow and cupped Lu Chen's face in her hands, kissing him a few times.
"Brother Shen, you're the best! You're such a good family man, I love you the most!" Shen Qiaoyue was also very good at sweet talk; her mother used to use the same way to coax her father.
Lu Chen blushed again, stood up, and turned his back to Shen Qiaoyue, saying, "Alright, it's late, go to sleep quickly."
Shen Qiaoyue chuckled inwardly, pursed her lips, and climbed into bed.
Lu Chen brought the fan, turned it on to the lowest setting, turned off the light, and climbed into bed.
"Wife, you should cover yourself with a blanket when the fan is on." Lu Chen touched Shen Qiaoyue and noticed that only her stomach was covered with a blanket. He reminded her while covering her with a blanket.
Shen Qiaoyue wanted to say that she was hot!
Since becoming pregnant, I've been sweating a lot and feeling hot.
Faced with the blanket covering Lu Chen, Shen Qiaoyue obediently did not kick it off.
Lu Chen held Shen Qiaoyue in his arms.
"Brother Chen, goodnight kiss!" Shen Qiaoyue waited for a long time, but Lu Chen did not make any further moves.
Before going to sleep, Lu Chen would always gently kiss her forehead.
Lu Chen chuckled softly, having forgotten, "I'm sorry, my wife."
After apologizing, he gently kissed Shen Qiaoyue's forehead.
Shen Qiaoyue grabbed Lu Chen's collar and said, "If you forgot, you have to compensate me double, otherwise I'll get angry, really, really angry!"
Lu Chen chuckled, amused by Shen Qiaoyue's affected tone.
He stroked Chen Qiaoyue's head and asked, "What kind of compensation do you want?"
Shen Qiaoyue kissed Lu Chen's lips with a soft "plop".
Her hands, restless yet shy, reached into Lu Chen's chest.
Lu Chen reached out and grabbed her, his voice hoarse as he said, "Wife! You've really gotten me into trouble."
Ever since they came up with a new trick, Lu Chen has been thinking about how Shen Qiaoyue looked at him with such affection and charm.
"Just tell me if you want it or not?" Since the lights were off, Shen Qiaoyue boldly asked.
Lu Chen's voice became even more urgent.
“Wife, what you said…” Lu Chen countered Shen Qiaoyue, “Don’t complain about being tired…”
Shen Qiaoyue is becoming increasingly bold, but considering Lu He in the opposite room, the two of them are very restrained.
There was no other way; Lu Chen couldn't do anything reckless while pregnant!
Lu He, eager for knowledge, thought she could get a good rest the next day, so she studied hard after having a late-night snack.
I slept soundly until dawn.
After waking up, Shen Qiaoyue got out of bed as usual.
Lu He was already stretching his muscles in the yard.
"Sister-in-law, you're up." Lu He turned around when she heard the noise and saw Shen Qiaoyue coming out from inside.
Looking at the weather, Shen Qiaoyue noticed that the sun was coming out after the rain.
"Hmm, what time did you go to bed yesterday? And you're up so early?" In Shen Qiaoyue's eyes, Lu He was a very diligent girl.
Lu He said, "I just got up and have had breakfast. Sister-in-law, go wash up and I'll bring your breakfast to the living room."
"Okay, thank you." Shen Qiaoyue went to the bathroom to wash up, and Lu He brought breakfast—an ear of corn, an egg, and a bowl of millet porridge—to the dining table in the living room.
Lu He then began preparing lunch.
After finishing breakfast, Shen Qiaoyue went into the kitchen and immediately started preparing lunch.
Lu He started a fire, and Shen Qiaoyue heated the oil and stir-fried the minced meat until cooked.
Lu He started kneading the dough, and the two of them chatted while cooking. Working together made it all worthwhile.
Shen Qiaoyue inquired about Lu He's future plans.
Wen Ru plans to take Lu He out to learn more, have him accompany her to see patients, observe and take notes, and after he passes the assessment, she will have Lu He stay in various departments to learn.
Lu He has a great talent for studying medicine, and his family borrowed many medical books for him to study.
The dumplings are ready, and the rice and dishes are served.
"Lu He, Sister Xinlan should be sleeping at home. Take some dumplings and vegetables over there. If she's still asleep, put them in the pot to keep them warm for her." Shen Qiaoyue had already packed the lunchbox. "Also, there are two sets of clothes on the sofa. Take them to Sister Xinlan."
"Okay, I'll take it to Sister Xinlan right away." Lu He washed her hands, dried them, went inside to get her clothes, and took the lunchbox to Liu Xinlan's house.
Shen Qiaoyue was kind to Liu Xinlan because Liu Xinlan was also kind to her, and in addition, she could teach Lu He in her spare time.
In addition, Xu Qianli is her second uncle's adopted son, and he has taken good care of her and Lu Chen these days, so it is only right that they repay him.
When Lu He took the dumplings to find Liu Xinlan, she happened to see a familiar person.
It was the boy she saw on her first day of school, I think his name was Chu Lin.
He looked like he was picking vegetables in someone else's yard.
"Lu He, when did you get back?" Ye Hualan came out of the kitchen and saw Lu He staring at her yard, so she quickly greeted him.
Hearing the greeting, Lu He quickly responded with a smile, "I came back last night!"
This sister-in-law knows her, but Lu He doesn't recall ever having any contact with this sister-in-law before, and doesn't know her name!
"Are you delivering food to Dr. Liu's house?" Ye Hualan looked at the lunchbox and clothes in Lu He's hand. Liu Xinlan's house was just ahead, so she must be going to their house.
“Yes, these are dumplings my sister-in-law made. She said that Sister Xinlan probably hasn’t eaten yet, so she asked me to take them over,” Lu He added.
Chu Lin turned to look at Lu He, his expression completely devoid of emotion.
