After changing her clothes, Jiang Xiaoyan looked in the mirror several times before going downstairs and getting into the car.
Lu Feng's family made an agreement with Aunt Liu to pretend that nothing had happened and that they knew nothing. Sometimes, pretending to be deceived is also a form of kindness.
Less than an hour later, the car stopped in front of the house. Zhang Fengxia had bought a lot of fruit, carrying bags and bags of things, and went into the house, saying, "These past two days have been exhausting for both of us. How are you? Are you worried that I'll steal your wife away...?"
As she spoke, she looked up at Lu Feng and froze on the spot.
"Why do you look so pale?"
"Is there?"
Jiang Xiaoyan walked in, her head down. She didn't dare to look at Lu Feng's face. When she heard Zhang Fengxia's words, she looked up and was also frightened. At this moment, Lu Feng's face was pale, his eyes were lifeless, and he had a stubble beard.
It was as if I had been transported back to a few years ago, to Lu Feng, who spent his days drinking and playing cards and had no fighting spirit.
"Are you feeling this bad? You should go to the hospital!" Jiang Xiaoyan exclaimed anxiously.
"It's nothing, I just didn't get enough rest."
Aunt Liu lowered her head, not daring to look at Jiang Xiaoyan. She walked over and took the fruit. The whole family seemed to have something on their minds, and the whole house was silent for several seconds.
"Where did you go?" Lu Feng was a master liar, but he seemed very awkward at the moment. He sat down and asked, "It was great. I went out for walks."
“Pregnant women need to be more active. I have to go to work tomorrow. If you don’t go and I don’t go either, the company will be in chaos.” Zhang Fengxia sat down and said, “She’s been exhausted these past two days. Look how weak she looks. Sister Xiaoyan, please sit down.”
Jiang Xiaoyan sat down, glanced at Lu Feng discreetly, and then looked away.
“Then you can go to work tomorrow. I’ll take a break. Talk to Yang Yan more about Jinfeng Logistics. He’s a bit unstable.” Lu Feng steered the conversation to work.
After chatting with Zhang Fengxia for a while, Jiang Xiaoyan brought Duoduo back. Seeing her mother again, Duoduo seemed much happier and became exceptionally active.
The room seemed to have gained a touch of warmth.
After finishing his usual meal, Lu Feng took a stroll in the alley and saw Zhang Fengxia off. He didn't return home until seven or eight o'clock in the evening. Both of them sensed that the other was acting strangely.
"Go to sleep early, you've been tired these past few days," Lu Feng said to her.
Did you take your medicine?
"Drink it, drink it!"
Inside the bedroom, the two lay on the bed, both pretending to fall asleep, but their hearts were brighter than the moon tonight. Lu Feng quietly moved closer to her.
"hot!"
"Turn on the air conditioner."
"No, that would use too much electricity."
"Then turn on the fan?"
"No need, just lie there."
Lu Feng ignored her, stood up, plugged in the electric fan, and pressed the oscillation button, making the room a bit cooler. Then he lay down close to her and pulled her into his arms.
"It's hot, oh dear, you're so sticky..."
Lu Feng put his arm around her waist, smelling the shampoo in her hair, and whispered, "I really like you, I love you! No matter what you become, I'm used to having you in this home, and no matter when I come back, you'll always be here!"
Jiang Xiaoyan had her back to Lu Feng, her tears already soaking her pillow. She tried hard to control herself, taking deep breaths repeatedly. After a while, she said, "Stop saying these useless things to coax me. I'm not a three-year-old. If you really care about me, then... then come over in a few days."
"Forehead?"
Lu Feng looked at her. She had just had surgery. Could she come for a moment?
"Fine, don't come if you don't want to!"
"Get some rest. I just want you to know that I'm not actually that concerned about things that ordinary people consider important," Lu Feng said, trying to comfort him instead.
Jiang Xiaoyan wiped away her tears, turned over, and said, "Stop talking nonsense, can you come or not?"
"You can come, but you won't allow it now, right?"
"I allow it. Take a few days to get your health in order!"
“Okay!” Lu Feng agreed, reaching out to pull her closer to him, and said, “This weather is so hot, it feels just like that summer when we rented a place back then.”
"It's much cooler than before, at least there's an electric fan," Jiang Xiaoyan murmured to herself.
"Yes, you're even more beautiful now than before."
“You’re three or four years older now, and you’re still so beautiful. Stop talking. You weren’t this talkative back then. All you ever thought about was canned food and the water pipes at that widow’s house upstairs.” Jiang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at him, rested her head on her arm, and said, “Go to sleep.”
Lu Feng was amused by her and gave her a light, quick kiss on the lips.
This time, Jiang Xiaoyan was no longer shy. Instead, she took the initiative to kiss him, and as they kissed, she cried!
