Chapter 66 Closeness.
When the adjutant heard this, he didn't know whether he should be surprised that Duke Lu Xia didn't ask Colonel Grace to hand over his salary card, or that Colonel Grace could call his mistress by her name so intimately.
No matter which one it was, he couldn't imagine it.
Even as a husband, he probably wouldn't dare to call his mistress by her milk name so intimately, not to mention that there is no mistress who would not want male assets.
Although Grace was not favored in the Duke Leslie's mansion, Duke Leslie would not give him a penny. Besides, Colonel Grace himself has not been idle in these years. With his merits, he has a lot of assets in his hands.
As a result, Duke Lu Xia didn't want any of these.
Doesn't that mean that Colonel Grace has never paid money to be with Duke Lu Xia?
Has he always been supported by Duke Lu Xia?
Oh my God, even if he has watched many movies and TV dramas, he dare not act like this. How is this possible?
Is there such a mistress in the world?
Every time he thinks that Duke Lu Xia is already very good, the reality is that she can be better! He
didn't know how to envy Colonel Grace.
He even wanted to ask shamelessly, is Duke Luxia still in need of a servant?
He was afraid that Colonel Grace would beat him up!
Grace didn't know what his adjutant was thinking, and he was also very complicated at the moment.
As soon as he left the military area, Grace went home.
The old housekeeper was a little surprised to see him come back: "You came back very early today, Madam and Mesilian haven't got off work yet."
Grace nodded and said naturally: "I will prepare dinner today."
"Then trouble you." The old housekeeper knew that he cooked to please Duke Luxia, so he didn't stop him.
When Lu Xia came back, Grace had already prepared dinner. Seeing her enter the house, she naturally took the coat and bag from her hands: "Xia Xia, I have something to tell you."
Lu Xia was a little surprised: "What is it?"
Grace took out the salary card and various asset certificates that she had prepared long ago and handed them to Lu Xia: "This is my assets and salary card over the years. Here, give it to you."
Lu Xia looked at the things that were suddenly handed to her and was slightly startled: "Give it to me?"
Why give her these things? Is she asking her to help with financial management?
Seeing that Lu Xia didn't seem to understand, Grace was both complicated and moved: "All assets of males should be handed over to their female masters. This is the rule. I have always ignored it before. I hope it's not too late now."
After hearing what Grace said, Lu Xia suddenly remembered that it seemed that there was indeed such a thing.
The reason why females look for so many male partners is to get something for nothing and have someone to support them.
"You can keep these for yourself. There is no such rule in our family." Lu Xia is not a female who needs male support. Both No. 1 Courtyard and No. 2 Courtyard are profitable projects. She is not short of money at all.
"But I want you to take it. I also want to make a contribution to this family, and I want to get pocket money from you every month." This is completely a reward for him.
Lu Xia didn't expect that there would be someone willing to passively receive pocket money. For a moment, he was a little amused: "Okay, I will find someone to manage your assets and try to prevent them from being dormant. In addition, how much pocket money should I give you every month?"
"It's all right. I don't have much to spend in the military area." He doesn't have any other hobbies, and currently he
goes back and forth between the two places. "Don't you usually have dinner with friends? What's going on at home? Don't you have to pay for personal favors? I'll give you 5,000 yuan pocket money a month. That should be enough. If it's not enough, tell me. If you can't spend it, you can save it and don't have to give me more. Is this okay with you?"
"Okay, 5,000 is a lot, 2,000 is enough!" Even Grace felt that it was a bit too much, but it was a lucky thing for him that Lu Xia was willing to accept his assets and salary card.
"Let's say 5,000, but why did you think of giving me these things today?"
"Today, Admiral Snoop talked to me about his promotion to major general. My adjutant said that if the promotion is successful, he hopes I can treat him to a meal. He asked me if I have pocket money, and then I remembered it."
"Have you made any progress in your promotion to major general?"
"Well, the materials have been submitted. The auditor has no reason to hold me back. I should be promoted smoothly this time."
"That's great. It's time to celebrate. Invite your friend, Admiral Snoop, to your home. We haven't held a banquet at home yet, so let's start with this. I will let the old housekeeper arrange it. You decide who to invite."
Lu Xia thought that Duke Leslie was responsible for celebrating Grace's becoming a gene fusion, so it was right for her to celebrate Grace's becoming a major general.
Grace didn't expect that Lu Xia was willing to hold a banquet at home for him.
What a great honor.
Grace reached out and hugged Lu Xia into her arms, resting her head on Lu Xia's shoulder: "Please forgive my rudeness, but I'm really happy now. Can you let me hug you, just for a little while?"
He begged humbly, as if asking for some supreme reward.
It was just a hug, Lu Xia was not stingy.
Although he didn't quite understand, it was just a banquet, and it was worthy of Grace to be so happy, so he didn't say much, but raised his hand and patted Grace's shoulder gently to comfort her.
After a long while, Grace suddenly let go of her hand, with a little surprise in her eyes. Lu Xia was also stunned, looking into Grace's black eyes, and asked uncertainly: "Did it kick you just now?"
Grace lowered her eyes, her gaze fell on Lu Xia's slightly bulging belly. From beginning to end, Lu Xia's belly was not very big, and it could be covered by wearing some loose clothes.
"It just moved, I felt it." Grace's tone was filled with undisguised excitement, "Can I, can I touch it? I'll be careful."
Seeing his helpless and nervous look, Lu Xia smiled and said, "Touch it. You are the child's father, you have the right to be close to it."
She would not deprive Grace of contact with the fetus in her belly, and even thought about leaving the child to Grace to take care of after it was born. She was
responsible for giving birth, so the responsibility of raising the child should be borne by Grace. This is fair.
Grace stretched out her hand carefully and placed it on Lu Xia's bulging belly, as if she was making a pilgrimage to something sacred.
Lu Xia couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she directly grabbed his wrist and pressed it on her belly.
The little cub in her belly also cooperated and kicked, as if to say hello to his dear father.
