Chapter 265: Trap
When Xia Nan met Lu Kun, she had just bought tofu pudding and fried dough sticks from downstairs and was preparing to have breakfast.
"Why did you come here so early?" she asked Lu Kun.
Without waiting for Lu Kun to answer, she noticed his swollen eyelids and listless look: "What happened after I left?"
"You eat first, I'll talk to you later. I'm afraid it will affect your mood." Lu Kun said, sitting on the sofa, picked up the cigarette that Xia Nan had placed on the table, lit it and started smoking.
After taking two puffs, he felt choked and put out the cigarette, and reminded Xia Nan: "Don't smoke anymore. You are pregnant now. Smoking is not good for the baby."
"Got it." Xia Nan smiled at him and continued to eat breakfast.
"Add an egg next time. It's more nutritious. You're not alone now."
"I know! Why are you nagging so much?" Xia Nan laughed twice.
"How do you feel today? I heard that women will have morning sickness after more than a month of pregnancy..."
Xia Nan drank two mouthfuls of tofu pudding and said, "I'm fine now. My appetite is good and I don't feel nauseous."
"That's good."
"Okay, okay, stop talking so much. Tell me what happened in your family after I left last night?" Xia Nan asked impatiently.
Lu Kun hung his head, looking very dejected: "My family didn't agree with our relationship... I had a big fight with them. My mother fainted and hit her head... My father wanted to cut off all ties with me."
"How can we break off the relationship?" Xia Nan urged, "You are too impatient!"
"You are such a good person, but they don't accept you. Am I being impatient? My knees were almost broken last night. It's all thanks to Lu Chen who came to discuss things..."
"Lu Chen?" Xia Nan's eyes lit up slightly, and then she asked nonchalantly, "What's so urgent that I have to go to your house to discuss it so late at night?"
Lu Kun frowned and looked at her: "You care about him? You haven't seen him many times, right?"
Xia Nan snorted: "I don't care about him. Why should I care about him?"
"I saw your eyes light up just now." Lu Kun couldn't help but say.
Xia Nan realized that her expression just now was too obvious, so she quickly restrained herself and showed some disgust: "Who made him marry Xu Nuo? I hate Xu Nuo, so naturally I don't like him. What? Are you jealous of him? I don't like him at all."
Lu Kun nodded slightly.
Soon, he said in a muffled voice: "You may hate me, but Lu Chen is a key training target in the army. At the military commendation meeting a while ago, he..."
"Commendation from the whole army?" These words really aroused Xia Nan's great interest. After knowing Lu Kun for such a long time, this was the first time he took the initiative to mention something about the army. "What great things did he do?"
"Lu Chen has developed a new training program. I heard that he has also proposed the concept of 'air-ground coordinated combat'..." At this point, he shook his head again, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. I don't know the details. I'm a photographer, how can I understand those things in the army?"
The information revealed in those few short sentences was enough to make her heart beat wildly.
She suppressed her emotions and asked casually, "Is he really that powerful? More powerful than Brigade Commander Lu?"
"That's not the case. No matter how capable Lu Chen is, doesn't he have to report his work to my dad? Every time we talk, it takes most of the day, and the study door is closed tightly, even I can't get in!"
At this point, Lu Kun wrinkled his nose obviously, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He sneered: "Isn't it just a shabby study? Who wants to go in? I won't go in even if you beg me to."
Xia Nan's breathing became noticeably faster. This was the closest she had ever been to those secrets in such a long time.
She felt the blood boiling in her body - this information should be useful, right?
Otherwise, why would she be transferred here when she was living well in Hong Kong City?
She hasn't had any breakthroughs for such a long time, but she didn't expect to have a major breakthrough today. How could she not be happy?
Right now, the most important thing is to marry Lu Kun as soon as possible and infiltrate his family so as to obtain more information.
She swallowed calmly, "By the way, you still have to work hard on our marriage, but don't be impatient... and don't delay it any longer. If you're pregnant, you'll show it in a long time, and then where will I put my face..."
Lu Kun scratched his hair irritably: "Wait a little longer. My mother has gone back to her parents' home, and my father is preparing for military exercises recently, so he can't take care of me."
He didn't seem to notice that a gleam of light flashed in Xia Nan's eyes when he said this - military exercises, another key intelligence.
Xia Nan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. She didn't eat her meal, got up and sat next to Lu Kun and said, "If that's the case, let's talk about it later... I can't hold on any longer recently. I can't sleep well, and I'm not feeling well... I'm so anxious that I'm having insomnia."
As expected, Lu Kun hugged her tightly with a distressed look on his face: "How about... you come home and live with me for a few days? My parents are not around anyway."
"This... isn't good, is it?" Xia Nan bit her lower lip. "Your parents don't like me in the first place... If they see me staying at your house, I don't know how they'll scold me for being shameless."
"What nonsense!" Lu Kun suddenly raised his voice, "You are my wife, and the baby in your belly is my child! You are their grandson, what right do they have to scold you? Don't be afraid, come back with me! With me here, no one can bully you."
Xia Nan pretended to struggle for a bit, and finally nodded "reluctantly": "Well... okay."
"That's right. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning and let you stay at my house for a few days."
A hint of triumphant smile flashed across Xia Nan's lowered eyes, and her fingers gently stroked her belly: "Baby, you have a good father who knows how to protect us. Tomorrow we will stay at grandpa and grandma's house for a few days."
As agreed, Lu Kun came to pick up Xia Nan the next day.
Sure enough, when Xia Nan followed him there, the house was empty.
Lu Kun took a leave of absence these two days to take care of her at home, and bought delicious meals for her from the cafeteria in various ways.
In the afternoon, Lu Kun accompanied her to make two cups of tea and sat on the balcony to admire the roses planted by his mother in the yard and the paulownia tree in front of the door.
Xia Nan stayed at Lu Kun's house for two days and behaved exceptionally well. She occasionally cooked and handed Lu Kun a cup of hot tea, looking like a virtuous daughter-in-law.
Two days passed like this, and on the afternoon of the third day, Xia Nan lay on Lu Kun's bed for a nap.
Hearing Lu Kun walking in quietly, she deliberately turned over and made even breathing sounds.
"Nannan?" Lu Kun woke her up in a low voice, "I'm going to go out and do something. You should get some sleep. I'll buy you some ribs to stew with meat tonight."
"Well, come back early." Xia Nan rubbed her sleepy eyes, hooked her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss.
When the sound of the door closing was heard, Xia Nan immediately opened his eyes.
What a rare opportunity!
She had to hurry, the study—here she came.
