It had been as long since Ye Cheng left the country as it had been since Lu Beixiao came home. Even though she had almost caught her talking on the phone with Tingzi, she was still genuinely happy to see him back! As the end of his previous life drew closer, her love for him grew deeper!
She wished she could stay with him every day. Sometimes she would think about persuading him to retire from the army, like Hua Rui did, and raising him at home, not allowing him to escape this hardship anywhere.
But this is just occasional extreme negative thinking!
The army officer came down from the cab, wearing a formal military uniform, which was rare. Under the door light, the military ranks on his shoulders gleamed brightly, and she immediately noticed the change in his rank.
Two bars and two stars!
He got promoted again!
"Welcome home, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel Lu!" She stepped forward and said loudly, emphasizing the word "Lieutenant Colonel" and bowed to him in a deliberately mischievous manner!
Mrs. Lu has a really good eye!
Seeing her look like a well-behaved young wife, he walked up to her and couldn't help but stroke her cheek with his rough right hand. He said in a teasing manner, "The Lu family's young wife, you have such a sweet mouth!"
He is wearing an upright military uniform, but his actions and words are like those of a gangster!
"Old rascal!" Ye Qiao rolled his eyes and cursed at him.
He thought she would coquettishly call him a "rascal" or a "stinking rascal", "old rascal"?
Ye Qiao turned around and was about to enter the courtyard when Lieutenant Colonel Lu grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. The seemingly upright man, wearing a military cap, lowered his head. His expression darkened beneath the brim of his cap. "Mrs. Lu, please explain why the modifier is 'old'?"
The tone was neither salty nor bland, but it was threatening!
"A 33-year-old man, if he is not an old hooligan, then he must be a young hooligan?" Ye Qiao retorted righteously. He wanted to run away but was caught by him.
"Girl, you are so bold! You think I'm old? Who is young?" Lieutenant Colonel Lu said sourly.
"Oh! Lu Xiaogun! Lu Xiaowu! Come and see, your good military officer father, he, he..." Ye Qiao was struggling. Seeing her son and daughter coming out of the main house, she shouted hurriedly, very clever and cunning.
Because, the army officer always presents the image of a gentleman in front of the two children, especially when wearing a military uniform, he has to set an example and prestige for the two children!
Lu Xiaogun and Lu Xiaowu were both excited and thrilled to see their father coming back. Lu Xiaowu rushed over like a bullet, while the aloof Lu Xiaogun remained calm and walked over slowly.
Lu Beixiao immediately let go of Ye Qiao and glared at her, his eyes seemed to say: Little girl, I'll deal with you in my room!
Ye Qiao stuck out her tongue at him fearlessly.
"Dad is back! Dad, you are a lieutenant colonel now!" Lu Xiaowu said excitedly when he saw his father.
Lu Beixiao raised his lips and stroked the little girl's head with his big hand, "Lu Xiaowu, why is your hair getting shorter and shorter? You don't look like a little girl anymore! Learn from your mother when she was little. She had two small braids here and there with two big red flowers pinned on each. How cute!"
He pointed to the area above Lu Xiaowu's ears and said.
He deliberately took the opportunity to make fun of the cunning Mrs. Lu.
"And he's wearing two big red flowers? That's so tacky!" Lu Xiaowu said with disdain. The seven-year-old kid already has his own aesthetic sense.
Ye Qiao, on the other hand, had already clenched his fists tightly, "Lu Beixiao! How did you know?!"
"Have you forgotten? When I accompanied you back to your hometown during the Chinese New Year two years ago, I saw your childhood photos. When you were the same age as Lu Xiaowu, right—" Before she could finish her words, she saw Mrs. Lu with a murderous look on her face!
To be exact, he wanted to commit suicide!
