Chapter 2039
“I’m so tired.”
As soon as they left the Zhou family, Jiang Yao immediately leaned on Lu Xingzhi’s body like a lazy bone. “Next time, when I eat, you better watch me. Don’t let me eat so much that we’d have to go out for a walk. I’m too lazy to walk.”
Jiang Yao would want Lu Xingzhi to carry her back if they were not in the army base; many people were coming and going in those days.
“Take your time.”Support our
Lu Xingzhi reached out and wrapped Jiang Yao’s hand in his palm, saying, “Didn’t Mrs. Zhou tell you that you have to go for a walk even if you’re pregnant? Will it help with your labor? The book also said that you have to walk properly.”
Jiang Yao glanced at Lu Xingzhi and smiled slyly. “Weren’t you talking to Zhou Junmin? How come you can hear what Mrs. Zhou and I are saying?”
“I keep my ears open.”
Lu Xingzhi could not stand Jiang Yao’s mischievous expression. He raised his hand and pinched her nose gently. He lowered his voice slightly and said, “I also heard you say that it’s better to have more children.”
Jiang Yao’s feet paused. She slapped Lu Xingzhi’s hand away and strode forvvard.
Her face was burning because she had jokingly told Mrs. Zhou she wanted a football team.
Even though she had amused Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou at the time, she felt it was quite funny. However, it was a little embarrassing for Lu Xingzhi to say it so bluntly.
Even so, it was not the first time she had said such a thing.
That night, the army base was bustling with activity because of the arrival of many of the soldiers’ relatives. There was a figure kneeling unmoving at the army’s entrance, which sparked speculation.
Fortunately, because it was dark, not many people noticed that person. They could only tell it was a woman from her clothes and hair.
Lu Xingzhi said that he did not care. He really did not care. When he got home, he boiled water for Jiang Yao’s bath. Then, he hugged his wife in bed.

Lu Xingzhi urged Jiang Yao, who was lymg on the bed and texting Wen Xuehui on her phone, to rest early. “Don’t stay in bed tomorrow morning.”
“Just a little while longer.”
Jiang Yao held her phone and moved closer to the bed. She was afraid that Lu Xingzhi would snatch her phone. “Let me tell you something terrifying.”
“What?”
Lu Xingzhi pretended not to notice Jiang Yao’s movements and thoughts. She moved closer, and he moved nearer to her. He just wanted to be next to her anyvvay.
“Xuehui said Gu Haoyu has been going to her school to look for her daily. Sometimes, he would ask her out for dinner, and sometimes, he would bring her snacks. That was not the most important thing. Xue Hui stated that she became aware that the senior brother pursuing her had abruptly distanced himself from her. At first, she thought it was strange, but later, she found out that it was Gu Haoyu who went to talk to the senior brother. It was Gu Haoyu who scared the senior brother away.”
“Those who can be scared away by Second Brother are not good people.” Lu Xingzhi lowered his head and kissed Jiang Yao’s forehead. “Foreigners are usually different from our fellow countrymen. They are not suitable for Wen Xuehui. However, I am a little surprised that my second brother would do such things.”
“That’s my main point too. It looks like he would do such things in private. It’s very scary!” The last time Jiang Yao was abroad, Wen Xuehui and Gu Haoyu acted like they would not rest until one of them was dead. It seemed like Gu Haoyu had changed his temper in such a short period..
