Chapter 260 Proposing Marriage?
Lu Mingzheng was both in pain and pleasure as he was brutally tortured by Jiang Ruzhen, but unfortunately, Jiang Ruzhen had been tormented for ten consecutive days.
Exhausted, he collapsed midway.
Lu Mingzheng seized the opportunity, and another fierce confrontation ensued.
......
The two were finally able to stop and have a proper talk.
Lu Mingzheng lay on his back, holding Jiang Ruzhen in his arms, gently stroking her hair as if she were his own daughter.
Curious, he asked, "How exactly did I get back to the space?"
Jiang Ruzhen felt very comfortable being stroked by Lu Mingzheng, which gave her the patience to explain.
"You are now an appendage of my space. You can come back here whenever you want, with my permission."
"Really? Then we won't have to worry about being separated by distance anymore?" This was a huge surprise, making Lu Mingzheng ecstatic.
Jiang Ruzhen hummed in agreement and casually asked, "But how did you come up with the idea of ​​returning to the space?"
Lu Mingzheng didn't answer for a long time. Jiang Ruzhen looked up at him in confusion. His face was full of suppressed worry.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Ah Zhen, do you have another suitor around you lately?" Lu Mingzheng asked cautiously.
"Yes, but I've already declined."
So this man was jealous. Jiang Ruzhen felt relieved and closed her eyes to rest again.
"I was always worried that being so far away from you meant I wouldn't be able to take care of you. Especially if something happened to you, I wouldn't be able to help. So I always had these worries..."
"So you call out to me in your dreams every night, wanting to see me, and you lure me into your virtual world to bully me every day?"
Jiang Ruzhen mumbled something with her eyes closed. Lu Mingzheng grinned, lifted Jiang Ruzhen up a little, and whispered in her ear.
"How can you say I'm bullying you? Aren't you feeling comfortable too?"
"Hmph!" Jiang Ruzhen sneered, turned around and pinched him hard.
"Lu Mingzheng, don't act innocent after getting the benefit. I haven't even settled accounts with you yet. You've worn me out these past few days. I need to rest for a few days."
"hiss--"
Lu Mingzheng took a deep breath. With his weakness in someone's hands, he spoke with the utmost humility.
"No, Ah Zhen. Please, I promise I'll never do it again. I'll just hold you while we sleep, okay?"
Lu Mingzheng gently twisted his body in Jiang Ruzhen's hands, and Jiang Ruzhen's body went limp from his shaking before she finally let go.
"We'll see how you perform in the future."
"Ah Zhen, I just want to see you every night... Please..."
"And then..."
"Please, Your Majesty... I will obey your every command... I would never overstep my bounds..."
"Okay, okay, shut up and go to sleep. I'm exhausted..."
With each tender plea, Jiang Ruzhen fell into a deep sleep; she was too exhausted...
When Jiang Ruzhen woke up the next morning, she found that Lu Mingzheng was no longer by her side.
The person was sent back as soon as they regained consciousness.
Jiang Ruzhen didn't feel anything this time, since the two of them would still meet after she fell asleep at night anyway.
After washing up, she soaked in the spring pool for a while before going to work feeling refreshed.
When Lu Mingzheng woke up in the morning, he was already in his dormitory bed. He recalled the intimate moments of the previous day and Jiang Ruzhen's promise, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but keep turning up.
It turns out that not only did he miss Jiang Ruzhen, but Jiang Ruzhen also longed for him deeply!
Lu Mingzheng felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey. He got up and washed up with great energy, feeling full of vitality.
Before the reveille even sounded, he had already run ten laps around the training field in just a vest and shorts, without feeling tired at all.
It's like taking a super-nutritious tonic; my body has inexhaustible energy.
This left the soldiers, who had just gotten up and assembled, dumbfounded. They thought the soldiers had gotten up late and began training frantically.
I'm afraid of being punished by the devilish instructor.
To everyone's surprise, after running five more laps, Lu Mingzheng didn't even glance at them before taking a shower, washing up, and returning to his office.
As soon as I entered the door, the phone kept ringing.
Lu Mingzheng answered the phone in a cheerful mood, "Hello, who is this?"
"Xiao Zheng, this is your mother. You seem to be in a good mood today?" Bai Jing's voice came through the phone.
Lu Mingzheng was stunned for a moment, not expecting his mother's phone call to reach the military.
"How did you know I was here?" Lu Mingzheng's expression darkened.
Did his mother know he had secretly returned to the army and call him home specifically to ask him to come back?
However, that's impossible.
"Hmph, do you think I'm senile? How long have you been giving me the cold shoulder because of my faking illness?" Bai Jing sighed.
"Sigh, I've been reflecting on my behavior lately, and it seems I've been too harsh on you. I feel very regretful."
I went to see your leader a while ago to learn about your many years of military service, and I realized that what you told me before was true.
Xiao Zheng, you were so badly injured, why didn't you tell your family? I know I'm not good at comforting people, but at least let me go and be with you!
Bai Jing's voice was choked with sobs, as if she were in great pain.
Lu Mingzheng didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say, "Mom, the past is the past."
"Yes, that's all in the past. I heard from your supervisor that your health has fully recovered in your recent physical exam, and is even better than before. Congratulations!"
Bai Jing's tone instantly became cheerful again, and Lu Mingzheng scratched his head, wondering what his mother was up to.
"Mom, you called me just to ask about my health?"
"Of course, your health is definitely my top priority," Bai Jing said confidently.
"Thank you for your concern, Mom." Lu Mingzheng's expression was strange.
"Yes, that's right. Besides caring about your health, Mom is also very concerned about your marriage. I just casually mentioned that I wanted to propose, and your boss is such a good person, he immediately approved three days of leave for you."
Remember to come to the capital to find me as soon as possible!
After Bai Jing finished speaking, she quickly hung up the phone, leaving Lu Mingzheng stunned on the spot.
A marriage proposal?
What's going on?
Who is he going to propose to? Could it be that his mother has found him another rich girl from a similar social class and wants him to go back for a blind date?
You haven't explained yourself clearly. What exactly happened?
Lu Mingzheng was still pondering when the phone rang again.
It was a call from Chief Zhou Zheng. As soon as he answered, Zhou Zheng jokingly teased him.
"You brat, you're getting married and you didn't even tell me. Your mom had to call and ask you to take time off work. How come you're not planning to attend such an important occasion as the marriage proposal?"
"Sir, please stop joking. I just found out about this myself, and I'm still confused. Who is my mother going to propose to?"
"You brat, Jiang Ruzhen is your only girlfriend, right? Who else could you possibly date? Your mother was talking about her too!"
"ah?"
This time, Lu Mingzheng was truly shocked.
