"Uh, maybe it's you?"
Lu Huaijiao spoke with a smile.
Gu Changzheng: ...
I'm a little angry.
But it was his wife who said it, so even if he was angry, he had to hold it in. Besides, his wife was carrying their precious daughter.
However, on the other hand, his wife's claim that he was an old man meant that while he might be spared the death penalty, he would not escape punishment. He hugged her and kissed her red lips fiercely.
"Wife, you're just taking advantage of the fact that you're pregnant, so go ahead and cause trouble. Wait until you give birth, then you'll see how I deal with you."
Gu Changzheng rubbed her lips together, squeezing out two words between his teeth.
Lu Huaijiao kept giggling.
"Come on then, if you've got the guts, deal with me now. What kind of skill is it to settle scores later?"
She's infuriating!
Gu Changzheng was genuinely angry, but thankfully he knew how to comfort himself. It was only a year and a half, two years at most; he could just endure it for two years.
He'll get his tubal ligation done after his wife gives birth to this baby.
At that point, won't he be able to party every night? Hmph, nothing will be able to stop him then.
For now, let's just let his wife be happy for a while.
…………
After Lu Huaijiao became pregnant, Gu Changzheng became even more anxious about her going to and from school every day. If he couldn't take Lu Huaijiao to school, then He Meizhu had to take her instead.
Especially when Lu Huaijiao was in her second month of pregnancy, it was discovered that she was carrying twins, which made her family even more anxious.
As they slept that night, Gu Changzheng held his wife in his arms and gently suggested, "Wife, how about we hire a bodyguard?"
Hiring bodyguards is mainly for Lu Huaijiao's safety.
The situation is getting better and better. Gu Changzheng is often on the go, and he knows that the trend of society will only become more and more open.
Conversely, while the times are developing rapidly, public security in society is still relatively poor.
In just this month, seven or eight floating corpses have been found in the river a few streets away from theirs.
The floating corpses were so swollen from being submerged that their identities became unrecognizable in a short time.
Although the police and government officials are making great efforts to catch them, with so many people in a city, how can they possibly catch all the bad guys in such a short time?
After thinking it over, Gu Changzheng decided that hiring a bodyguard would be more appropriate.
Anyway, they're rich now, so they can hire more than just one person, they can hire several.
Lu Huaijiao nodded and said, "That's fine. I'll find a female comrade to accompany me to school every day, and I'll also find two for Sanbao and Mom and Dad."
She grew up in a big city, and both her mother and grandmother used to have bodyguards.
She had it when she was a child.
Bodyguards are only for protecting one's own safety. If her finances allow, Lu Huaijiao doesn't think there's anything wrong with hiring bodyguards.
"And you, you also need to find two reliable people. Although you can fight, one fist can't fight four hands. What if you attract the attention of many people?"
When arranging bodyguards for her family, she didn't forget Gu Changzheng.
Gu Changzheng smiled and pinched her cheek: "Don't worry, with Brother Xiang and Brother Meng here, nothing will happen."
Although Meng Yong and Xiang Dongcheng are slowly trying to clear their names and are avoiding many things, the prestige, connections, and manpower they accumulated in the past cannot be lost overnight.
He has a good relationship with them and they also have business collaborations and dealings, so he is not worried about his personal safety.
But whether Gu Changzheng is worried or not is useless; it's Lu Huaijiao's worry that's useful.
"I don't care, if you're going to hire bodyguards, you have to hire them all. You can't say you've hired them for us but don't need them yourself, then I don't want them either."
At crucial moments, she starts throwing a tantrum again.
However, her little temper was also a sign of her concern for Gu Changzheng, so Gu Changzheng naturally agreed with great delight.
"Okay, then I'll have Captain Nie help me look for those who have retired from the military."
Those who are discharged from the military will need to find jobs on their own if they are not assigned to a work unit.
Nie Heng knows a lot of people; asking him to find a few bodyguards shouldn't be a problem.
He owns a security company, but Gu Changzheng doesn't want to hire people from it.
It wasn't that he had any issues or opinions about the security company's people, but rather that they were simply unsuitable.
The security company staff consisted of burly men; anyone walking next to Lu Huaijiao could immediately tell they were bodyguards.
He didn't want it to be like this.
He wanted someone who seemed unremarkable, the kind of person who wouldn't attract attention in a crowd. Such an inconspicuous person could often strike the enemy unexpectedly.
Therefore, we need to find someone else.
Once he finds someone, he'll take them over for an assessment. If they're suitable, he'll hire them, and the salary will naturally be high.
After the couple decided to hire five bodyguards for their home, they whispered a few more words to each other before falling asleep in each other's arms.
In the fourth month of the lunar calendar, Lu Huaijiao was two months and seven days pregnant.
It was getting a bit hot, and when she went to sleep at night, she wanted to push away the man who was holding her.
But the man had the fan on, whirring and blowing in their direction.
When the fan was blowing, she didn't feel hot at all; in fact, she felt a little cold, which allowed her to snuggle peacefully in Gu Changzheng's arms and sleep soundly.
