"Have you been waiting for me?" Ji Ling glanced outside the tent. The sun was already setting. She had slept for so long, but he had been waiting for her?

"I'm not hungry." Zhu Weidong took out a pear from the drawer and handed it to her. Only after Ji Ling took it did he continue eating.

Ji Ling didn't believe him.

Holding the pear in her hand, she watched him eat quietly, her heart aching and her nose sour. In her previous life, she was not close to her family and was no different from an orphan. After traveling to this body, she had no family ties, but she didn't expect to get married in a flash to repay her gratitude, and she would be in such a situation.

Having lived two lives, she was full of ambition and devoted herself to her work, but had never cared about family affection. Looking back, she was also responsible for the fact that family affection had become cold in the end.

If she had put her heart into it, perhaps the situation would have been different.

This man has been silently giving to her after she became his wife, not because of responsibility, but because he really treats her as his wife.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Weidong noticed that his wife suddenly became quiet. He looked up and saw his wife's sad and depressed face.

Ji Ling came back to her senses and met his gaze, "Hubby, am I very happy in the eyes of others?"

Zhu Weidong's dark eyes paused slightly, and his breathing tightened. He hummed softly, put down his chopsticks, and hugged her in his arms, "I will try my best to make you the happiest woman."

"No, it's our happiness." Ji Ling hugged him back, her face pressed tightly against his chest, listening to his heartbeat and feeling the warmth slowly emanating from his body.

Ji Ling knew that she was no longer a floating duckweed, she had a sense of belonging, roots, and a home.

"Why are you crying?" Zhu Weidong felt the wet clothes on his chest, pulled her away, saw his wife's red eyes, reached out to wipe her tears, and sighed, "Okay, okay, I know you've been wronged, and I won't let anyone bully you again."

Ji Ling couldn't help laughing, "These are tears of happiness, okay? I'm glad that I married a good man."

"Okay." Zhu Weidong coaxed softly.

Now he finally understood what Mr. Li said, women are made of water, they cry when they are happy and when they are unhappy.

The door curtain of the tent was not fallen. If people passing by looked inside, they would see Engineer Zhu, who was usually cold and aloof, holding his wife tenderly and caringly in his arms, and coaxing her with his head down.

The story spread from one person to another, and soon everyone's jaws dropped.

Li Gong also came back this time to look for someone. When he heard the news his wife brought back, he slapped his thigh and said with a smile, "Good boy, you are quite capable. You usually ask me for advice. I think I should ask him for advice."

Xu Li watched her husband laugh heartily and laughed too. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Engineer Zhu is good, but his wife is a little young and a little childish."

Li Gong glanced at his wife and took his feet out of the basin. "There are no outsiders here. You don't have to beat around the bush when you talk."

Xu Li's expression froze, and she stammered, "It's nothing, actually. Master Liu told me that the braised pork has fallen through."

"What's going on?"

Xu Li repeated what she had heard, "That's what Master Liu told me at the time. Is there some misunderstanding here?"

Li Gong said, "There must be some misunderstanding. I'll ask Xiao Zhu when I see him."

"Why are you asking? Look at how much Xiao Zhu treats his lover. He'll get angry if you open your mouth."

Li Gong smiled and said, "Xiao Zhu is not an unreasonable person."

Xu Li wanted to persuade him, but seeing her husband like this, she knew it was useless. She thought that a man loves his wife, so there is no point in reasoning.

Lin Xiang also found Ji Ling again and apologized to her, but Ji Ling just listened and said she was tired and didn't say much.

Lin Xiang could only return home disappointed.

In the next few days, Ji Ling went to get her meals by herself. When someone greeted her, she just nodded and didn't say much.

Three days later, Zhu Weidong came back after finishing his work.

Ji Ling heard in the morning that he would be back, so she kept looking towards the path, and when she saw a truck coming, she went over to wait.

The moment Zhu Weidong came down, Ji Ling wanted to give him a big hug, but thinking about so many people watching in this era, she couldn't help it.

When she returned to the tent, Zhu Weidong hugged her.

Ji Ling smiled but still felt it was not enough, so she squeezed a little closer to his arms. Zhu Weidong was amused, so he let go of her hand and lowered his head to touch her nose.

"Are you done yet?"

"You don't have to go to the construction site before the New Year. We're on holiday here too." Zhu Weidong said as he pulled his wife to sit down on the bed. "Pack up your things in the next few days and let's go back to the city. I'll take you around here, spend the New Year with you, and then take you back to the car."

Ji Ling counted the days and said, "It's almost Chinese New Year. It's been so long, but it feels like only a few days have passed."

Zhu Weidong then asked her how she got here. Ji Ling smiled and said, "My father and I came here together. My father had something to do, so he asked the driver to take me here."

"You're pregnant now, why did they let you go so far?" Zhu Weidong put his hand on her belly, "It seems to be a lot bigger."

"Has it grown up? Why do I feel like it's still the same?"

"You can see it every day, so you don't feel it's too big." Zhu Weidong lowered his head and tucked her hair behind her ears. "Has your hair grown longer too?"

"Yes, I plan to grow some. It will be convenient to tie it up and take care of it." Ji Ling said, and suddenly stopped and looked up at his face. "You recognized me just now. Did you recognize me by the length of my hair?"

It was only after arriving here that Ji Ling noticed that all the women here had long hair, except hers, which reached her shoulders.

Zhu Weidong suddenly brought this up again, and she couldn't help but think about it.

Zhu Weidong nodded calmly and added, "I also remember your usual behavior. You walk differently from others, and you are used to shaking your neck left and right. Last but not least, your belly is slightly protruding. Although you don't notice it, your hands will unconsciously be placed on your waist when you walk."

Ji Ling waved her hands in disgust, "Stop talking, I get it."

Well, she thought she could recognize her at first sight, but she was totally overthinking it.

Zhu Weidong misunderstood and comforted her, "Don't worry that I recognized you wrongly. This has never happened before."

Ji Ling said without giving any face, "Yes, I know. I have also noticed your habit. You never take the initiative, but always wait for others to come forward and claim you."

claim?

Zhu Weidong chuckled, and Ji Ling reached out to cover his mouth to stop him from laughing. As a result, the hot air from Zhu Weidong's mouth puffed onto her palm, making her feel itchy and she started to laugh too.
