Chapter 278 Are you the only one with a mouth?
Lu Chen paused and looked back at Qin Huayun: "Don't worry about this."
Qin Huayun: “…”
Ling Sheng couldn't help but frown. He wanted to say something, but suddenly found that he had no right to speak.
Xu Nuo spoke up to smooth things over: "Aunt Qin, don't worry. Lu Chen has a cold temper, but he is thoughtful."
Lin Ya couldn't bear to see Aunt Qin's embarrassed face, so she quickly said, "Brother Lu Chen told me that if I have any troubles, I can just go to him. Don't worry, Brother Lu Chen still remembers me."
Qin Huayun had a step and hurried down: "That's good. Seeing that you can still love each other like before, I feel relieved."
Lu Chen raised the corner of his lips and snorted coldly: "Let's go."
The three of them drove. Lu Chen opened the door for Xu Nuo, protected her head with his hands, helped her get into the car, and then he got in as well.
Xiao Wei started the car and was about to leave when Lu Chen turned to Lin Ya and said, "If you have time this weekend, come to our house for dinner. Your sister-in-law and I will treat you."
Xu Nuo also poked his head out of the car window: "Yes, Lin Ya welcomes you to our home for dinner."
"Okay! Thank you Brother Lu Chen, thank you sister-in-law." Lin Ya agreed.
"Let's get in touch later." After Lu Chen finished speaking, he rolled up the car window.
The car sped away, raising a cloud of dust.
Seeing the person walking away, Qin Huayun started to curse: "Lu Chen found such an ignorant wife. We have been married for such a long time, but she still calls me aunt! It's too much!"
Lin Ya looked embarrassed. She had inquired about the relationship between Qin Huayun and Lu Chen through Ling Sheng and knew about the rift between the mother and son.
Now that Aunt Qin was scolding Xu Nuo, she couldn't speak or keep silent.
Ling Sheng's eyebrows jumped, and he whispered, "Lu Chen is very dissatisfied with you. It's hard for Xu Nuo to be caught in the middle. She doesn't disrespect you, but she probably hopes that her husband can be in a better mood."
"You can please your husband by being this kind of person to your mother-in-law?" Qin Huayun became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and even scolded Lu Huaizheng, "Don't you even look at what kind of daughter-in-law you found for your son! She only cares about trivial matters in the army!"
Ling Sheng knew everything about this matter from beginning to end, and he naturally understood Xu Nuo's attitude.
He felt that Xu Nuo's position was correct and he should not be scolded.
"Mom," Ling Sheng said, "You shouldn't scold Xu Nuo. She actually never tried to sow discord between you and Lu Chen. She just did what a wife should do and stood by her husband."
"Stand together against me, the mother-in-law? Ling Sheng, as a daughter-in-law, she should mediate the relationship between me and Lu Chen, instead of following Lu Chen's attitude and mood!"
He didn't know how to respond to Qin Huayun's words, so he could only shut his mouth.
"Aunt Qin, it's getting late, let's go back quickly. I'm hungry and I'm craving for your sweet and sour carp." Lin Ya quickly changed the subject.
"Okay, let's go! Auntie will make whatever you want to eat." Qin Huayun held Lin Ya's hand tightly, "Xiao Ya, help Auntie! You have a good relationship with your brother Lu Chen, remember to persuade him when you see him. After all, I am his biological mother who gave him life. Even if he has a huge grudge against me, it should be gone by now."
"Okay. I understand. I'll listen to you. If I have a chance, I will definitely persuade Brother Lu Chen." Lin Ya agreed first.
"You are still likable. You are a hundred times better than that Xu Nuo." Qin Huayun said a few words angrily, took Lin Ya's hand and was about to go home.
Ling Sheng shook his head helplessly. He felt that since his father passed away, his stepmother seemed like a different person. Her behavior was even more stubborn and extreme than usual.
In the car.
Xu Nuo and Lu Chen sat side by side in the back seat, their fingers clasped together, their eyes and eyebrows full of smiles: "Why did Captain Lu think of picking me up in person?"
Lu Chen glanced at her sideways when he heard this: "Why? Do you need a reason to pick up your own wife?"
Although his tone was calm, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"Of course not~" Xu Nuo smiled with his eyes curved into crescents, "I just didn't expect it, it's a pleasant surprise!"
Xiao Wei, who was driving, was grinning, and Xu Nuo happened to catch him in the rearview mirror: "Xiao Wei, what are you so happy about?"
"Report to sister-in-law!" Xiao Wei straightened his back, his eyes sparkling, "Our leader has a surprise for you! Before picking you up, he made a detour to the department store and bought the latest pearl cream..."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and snorted, "You're the only one with a big mouth, right?"
Xiao Wei shrank his neck, but couldn't help laughing: "I'm not trying to take credit for you, the leader. Sister-in-law, you don't know how hard it is to buy this vanishing cream. The leader waited in line for more than an hour to get the last set."
"Thank you, Captain Lu!" Xu Nuo smiled and stretched out his hand to Lu Chen, "Then take it out."
"Here, here, here!" Xiao Wei picked up the plastic bag on the passenger seat and handed it to Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo took it and took a look. Inside was a newly released vanishing cream. Even after so many years, it was still a well-known domestic brand.
In addition to the vanishing cream, there was also a lipstick. Xu Nuo opened it and tried to apply it lightly on her lips twice. She turned around and asked Lu Chen, "Does it look good?"
Looking at her rosy and attractive lips, Lu Chen's throat slid up and down twice: "Beautiful."
"Thank you! I like it very much!" Xu Nuo said.
"As long as you like it! Our leader was worried that you might not like it..."
Lu Chen raised his long legs and kicked the driver's seat in front of him: "You are the only one who talks too much."
Xiao Wei shut his mouth awkwardly and didn't dare to say anything more.
Seeing this, Xu Nuo burst out laughing: "Xiao Wei, I find that you are a little different from before."
"Ah? What's different?" Xiao Wei scratched his head.
"You are much more lively than before." Xu Nuo said with a smile, "I remember you didn't dare to say a word in front of Lu Chen before."
Lu Chen raised the corners of his lips: "This guy just got promoted and caught up with the girl he loves. He's so proud now. How can he not talk too much?"
Xiao Wei's face flushed immediately: "Captain, I don't have it."
The reason why he was more relaxed in front of the team leader than before was that he had been pursuing a girl he loved in his hometown for some time, but she did not agree.
It was the team leader who kept giving him advice and suggestions that impressed the girl and won her heart.
Therefore, he felt that the team leader was quite approachable, although he looked cold on the outside, he was warm on the inside.
Lu Chen snorted, "You are rare."
Xu Nuo smiled for a while, and when she saw the car was about to drive back to the military compound, she asked Lu Chen: "What are we having for dinner?"
Lu Chen said: "I'm not eating at home. I'm going to have dinner at Brigade Commander Lu's house tonight."
"Huh? Why?" she wondered.
Lu Chen explained: "After Lu Kun's matter is dealt with, Aunt Tong has been wanting to thank us. I heard that she has something rare to give you."
