"I have to get up early to run tomorrow, so I'm going to bed now."
Su Jingjing ignored the man's scrutinizing gaze and planned to slip away from him.
It felt like if she waited any longer, the man would see right through her.
However, what she didn't know was that the man had already seen through her.
Just then, her stomach rumbled loudly, catching Su Jingjing off guard.
"Hehe! Was there something making a noise just now?"
Taking advantage of the darkness of night, as long as she isn't embarrassed, it's others who will be embarrassed.
Li Hanting grabbed his wife's arm, looked into her eyes, and whispered, "Are you hungry?"
"without…"
Su Jingjing subconsciously lied, but when she met the man's eyes, she nodded as if possessed.
She said with a pitiful look, "I'm hungry."
This was the first time Li Hanting had seen his wife act coquettishly, which was a small step forward.
He ruffled her hair and said affectionately, "Wait here, I'll cook you noodles."
"No need, I'll just have pastries."
How could she trouble a man to cook noodles for her? He had to get up early for training tomorrow.
Fortunately, she was clever and resourceful, and she always bought pastries.
"Eating pastries so late at night won't help with digestion. I'll go cook you some noodles. You can sit in the living room and wait for me."
The man must have touched something, because the living room lights came on.
The sudden blinding light made Su Jingjing feel a little uncomfortable. After she adjusted, she could see the man's clothes clearly. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and you could vaguely see the muscles in his chest. He was strong and powerful. He was wearing loose trousers.
"Don't worry, my noodles taste pretty good."
The man's hoarse voice brought Su Jingjing back to her senses. She pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "Oh my god, I think I just had a crush on the man's physique."
The moment the man turned around, she quickly grabbed his hand, "Then cook less, I'm still on a diet."
Li Hanting turned his head and looked down at his wife's fair and delicate hands, then responded softly.
After the man went into the kitchen, Su Jingjing smiled happily and sat quietly in a chair to wait.
The man worked quickly and cooked the noodles in less than eight minutes.
It looks and smells delicious, but...
"Why did you put eggs in there?"
"Eat up and get some nutrition."
"Oh, so you're not eating?"
There was only one bowl on the table, as if the man hadn't prepared one for him.
"I'm not hungry."
Since the man said he wasn't hungry, Su Jingjing didn't press the matter further. She tried a bite, and to her surprise...
Before she could even swallow the noodles in her mouth, she looked up at the man with delight, "So delicious!"
Li Hanting: "Eat more if you like it. I'll cook for you again next time."
The man held her tightly, making Su Jingjing feel extremely oppressed and uncomfortable even while eating.
Doesn't he realize how misleading that statement is?
"Um...why don't you want to go inside and rest first? After all, we have training tomorrow."
Li Hanting parted his thin lips slightly, "I'm not in a hurry. It's okay if I don't sleep for several nights in a row."
Seeing his wife's cheeks puffing out like a little hamster, his hands itched to pinch them.
Seeing that this method was not working, Su Jingjing quickened her chewing speed, only thinking about finishing her food and returning to her room as soon as possible.
She quickly finished a bowl of noodles, then hurriedly cleared away the dishes and ran into the kitchen, saying, "I'm full."
Then she went to the bathroom to wash up, and three minutes later she bounced out and said to the man, "Thank you for the noodles tonight, I'm going to go to bed now."
After saying that, he lowered his head, slipped into the room, and closed the door, all in one smooth motion.
Li Hanting stood with his hands in his pockets, his eyes fixed on his wife's every move, not even missing the slightest expression on her face.
He didn't look away until the door was closed.
It seems that getting along with one's wife requires a gradual approach; one cannot rush things.
The next day, the sky was still overcast. Su Jingjing got up when she heard the door close.
She ate a bowl of noodles last night, so she'll have to run two more laps today.
After washing up, I changed into some loose clothes and went straight downstairs.
She has improved her running endurance, so this time she chose to run a little further.
The loud, high-pitched training calls grew closer and closer. Su Jingjing looked up curiously and saw a group of soldiers training not far away.
Suddenly, a tall and imposing figure came into view, and she involuntarily stopped in her tracks.
The man stood in the center, giving stern instructions to a group of greenhorns. His profile was sharp and captivating.
As expected of the male lead, his looks are consistently on point. Should she try pursuing him?
Maybe she'll just get lucky and catch up with us.
That way, she wouldn't have to leave An'an and Yuanyuan, and she could still be a military wife. Why wouldn't she be happy with that?
Although she doesn't have the looks yet, she has her own unique charm. I believe Li Hanting isn't a superficial person, so she should use her charm to win him over. Besides, she has Yuanyuan as her great helper.
Su Jingjing, you can do it!
With a goal in life, she ran with even more enthusiasm.
On the playground, Li Hanting had just finished giving instructions when Liu Yang ran over to report.
Li Hanting turned to the side and asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Yang pointed to a spot not far away and whispered, "Commander, that looks like Madam."
Now the regimental commander is paying more and more attention to his wife's affairs, and he dares not neglect her.
Li Hanting frowned and immediately followed Xiao Liu's gaze.
To get a better look, he quickly stepped forward and saw his wife running around and around, her eyes fixed firmly ahead.
Liu Yang deeply admired the lady's courage; no wonder the regimental commander gradually succumbed to her charms.
"Commander, should we call for Madam?"
"Need not."
Li Hanting responded in a deep voice, presumably his wife had seen him just now.
"Go back to training."
After saying "take one last look," he turned and walked towards the center of the playground.
Only when she could no longer sense the man's sharp gaze did Su Jingjing stop, take a deep breath, pat her chest, and, thinking that it was getting late, run straight to the family compound.
They happened to run into Ge Hong as she was leaving. The two exchanged a glance, but neither of them said a word.
Su Jingjing was still wondering whether she should say hello, but the other person's next action made her think that her idea was ridiculous.
Seeing Su Jingjing covered in sweat and with a flushed face, Ge Hong crossed her arms and sneered, "Some people deliberately put on an act in front of everyone, but they haven't lost any weight at all."
In fact, Su Jingjing had visibly lost a lot of weight, but Ge Hong was blinded by jealousy and refused to acknowledge the other's good qualities.
The enemy has already come to the door, so Su Jingjing doesn't need to hold back.
Whether I'm fat or thin, does it bother you?
"Why are you always going against me?"
He pressed on relentlessly.
Ge Hong gradually backed away, saying, "What are you trying to do? This is a family compound. If I shout, everyone will know that you're bullying me."
Su Jingjing stretched her limbs and smiled disdainfully, "Ge Hong, let me tell you, I, Su Jingjing, am not someone to be trifled with. If anyone bullies me even a little, I will repay them tenfold."
