Qin Yushen received an urgent mission and had to leave that afternoon. He quickly packed two changes of clothes and prepared to go.
Before even stepping out the door, I glanced back.
Lin Xiaoxiao was leaning against the door, staring blankly at him.
His heart softened, and he walked up to her, intertwined his fingers with hers, and leaned down to kiss her.
"It's just disaster relief, don't worry."
"Huh?" Lin Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze and smacked her lips. "I wasn't worried."
He already has superpowers, what is she worried about?
She was just thinking.
Looking at her expression, Qin Yushen realized she didn't seem very worried. He pinched her cheek playfully and said, "I'm worried about you being home alone."
You heartless bastard.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't notice his resentment. She hugged his lean waist and looked up to ask, "Is it pouring rain in Chongqing where you're going?"
Qin Yu nodded deeply.
It was because of the torrential rain that lasted for more than half a month that Chongqing was flooded, and several villages downstream of the river were submerged. He was tasked with leading a team to carry out rescue and disaster relief.
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled instantly, tugged at his hand, and gestured for him to lower his head, which Qin Yushen did.
"Your lightning-based ability is already at level two, and it's difficult to level it up further using crystals, but..."
She kept him in suspense, and seeing Qin Yushen's eager expression, she continued, "You can obtain energy from lightning in nature."
The rainstorm was accompanied by thunder and lightning.
At this time, lightning energy is most abundant, making it the perfect weather for lightning-type ability users.
Qin Yu understood perfectly; being struck by lightning was something he was used to.
Seeing his expression, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly reminded him, "Don't be stupid and go to get hit. You can't handle it right now."
If her husband, who's so great, gets cheated out of her, where will she go to cry?
His foolish idea must be stopped.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Qin Yushen's face; that was indeed what he was thinking.
Lin Xiaoxiao: "It's the same principle as absorbing energy from a crystal. If you feel the energy of lightning, just absorb it directly."
"Remember to keep a low profile, or people will treat you like a monster."
"Mm." Qin Yu hugged her tightly, reluctantly. "I really have to go."
Lin Xiaoxiao waved goodbye without a trace of reluctance, "Bye-bye~"
Qin Yu touched her belly and joked, "Take good care of my daughter."
"Daughter? I'd rather have a son. I dream about everything." Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, patted her belly like she was patting a watermelon, making a loud thud.
A while ago, Lin Xiaoxiao got her period.
Finally, I don't have to live in fear anymore.
After that, the two of them took precautions every time, and Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't worried at all.
After Qin Yushen left, Lin Xiaoxiao went to get off work and back as usual, occasionally chatting with Sister Wang about melons.
The day before Commander Wu and Qu Yu were to host a dinner party, He Meng actually came to the family compound to invite Lin Xiaoxiao to the Zhao family's house for dinner.
When Lin Xiaoxiao saw He Meng, she subconsciously looked up at the sky.
"What are you doing?" He Meng asked, slightly displeased that she didn't call for help immediately.
"I'm checking to see if the sun rises in the west today." Lin Xiaoxiao looked left and right, shaking her head. "Oh, it really does rise in the west."
He Meng wasn't so stupid as to not understand what he meant.
That's why I got angry—because I understood it.
Lin Xiaoxiao politely invited, "Would you like to come in and have a seat?"
He Meng shook her head, "No need, just remember to come over for dinner tonight."
After saying that, he turned and left without asking Lin Xiaoxiao if she agreed.
Offering unsolicited favors is either a sign of malice or theft.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't think it was a good thing that He Meng came to see her.
Who knows what kind of wicked ideas they're plotting?
Lin Xiaoxiao learned about her nominal mother-in-law's personality from Huang Jueshu. She came from an ordinary family but was arrogant, loved luxury, and liked to show off.
Because of her ordinary background, even though her husband held a high position and they had enjoyed many years of good life, she still retained some pettiness to a certain extent.
She often fantasizes that she is a young lady from a capitalist family in the past, living a life of luxury and imitating the etiquette and manners of aristocratic ladies.
As for who she imitated, only she knows.
"Xiaoxiao, why did the army commander's wife invite you to dinner?" Wang's wife was on her way to the city and had arranged to go with Lin Xiaoxiao. Just as she closed the door, she saw He Meng walk over and talk to Lin Xiaoxiao.
When she heard that He Meng had invited Lin Xiaoxiao to dinner, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
He Meng was aloof and arrogant, and never interacted with the women in the family compound. She usually traveled by jeep, and she was from a completely different world from them.
Although the leaders' houses are also within the family compound area, most of them are two-story detached houses, far away from the buildings and bungalows, a twenty-minute walk away, truly isolated from the world.
This effectively ensured the privacy of the leaders and their families' lives.
Lin Xiaoxiao pushed her bicycle out. "I don't know either. I'm just as confused."
Sister-in-law Wang can't ride a bicycle, so she can only sit on the back. "Then are you going?"
“Go ahead,” Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Although He Meng is not a very good person, her cooking skills are undeniable.
When Qin Yushen is not home, she usually eats at a state-run restaurant in the city before coming back.
You can't let yourself suffer, no matter who else you lose out on.
Isn't the point of making money to enjoy it?
He Meng invited her over for dinner that night?
Emma, on the other hand, gave her a new idea.
As a good daughter-in-law, it's not surprising that she would greet her mother-in-law warmly after get off work and perhaps even ask for a free meal.
My husband no longer has to worry about me going hungry!
