Chapter 1936: Those Who Didn’t Come
Jiang Yao was pregnant, so her features had softened. Lu Xingzhi thought that Jiang Yao’s attractiveness did not decline because of her pregnancy.
On the contrary, because she had been pregnant for some time, Jiang Yao’s return had tempted Lu Xingzhi, provoking his tolerance.
Before he married Jiang Yao, Lu Xingzhi had not thought about the relations.h.i.+p between a man and a woman. However, he could not stop thinking about it after he married her.
“You’re not even going to give me a kiss? Stingy.” Jiang Yao avoided Lu Xingzhi’s hand that had come to ravage her head. Then, she slid off the bed like a loach. She turned back to look at Lu Xingzhi’s empty hand, lifted the hem of her skirt, and giggled as she entered the bathroom to wash her face.
Lu Xingzhi followed her to the bathroom door. He leaned against the door with an indifferent expression. When he saw Jiang Yao turn around to smile at him, his lips curled upward slightly. “You can be arrogant for a year. After that, just wait and see.”
Then, he put his hands in his pockets and straightened his body. “After you’re done was.h.i.+ng, go back to bed and rest. You must be tired after sitting on the plane for so long. I need to get back to work. I’ll be back to cook dinner for you in about an hour.
“Go on then.”
Jiang Yao waved her hand and asked Lu Xingzhi to go to work.
Lu Xingzhi walked out, but after a few seconds, he returned and said, “If someone comes to talk to you about something, blame it all on me.”
Before Jiang Yao could ask Lu Xingzhi more questions, he had already walked out the door.
“Why don’t you tell me the whole story? You’re so annoying!” Jiang Yao muttered at Lu Xingzhi’s back as he walked away. One second ago, she said that he was annoying, but she was mesmerized by his back the next second. He walked like a gust of wind; objects swayed wherever he pa.s.sed.
The setting sun shone on their courtyard. From Jiang Yao’s perspective, Lu Xingzhi looked as handsome as if he was stepping into the afterglow of the setting sun as he left the yard.
Lu Xingzhi called Zhou Junmin when he returned to his office. He asked Zhou Junmin to bring the group of children at the door to the police station to register the children’s cases.
Zhou Junmin left the army base after receiving the order. Just as Lu Xingzhi was about to pack his things, the people from the next office walked into his office. When they came in, they were still mumbling about something.
“Why can’t those people be that enthusiastic during training?”
“They are so anxious about Independence Day.”
That person just happened to walk in front of Lu Xingzhi. Then, he pretended to turn his head to look at Zhou Junmin, who had just left, and said, “You sent Platoon Leader Zhou to help those little children at the entrance?”
“Yes.
It was not a secret that Lu Xingzhi had helped those children in the army. Lu Xingzhi had even received praise for his efforts. Many people said that those from Jindo City were very efficient. However, those words did not sound too good.
After Lu Xingzhi had arranged all the doc.u.ments on the table, he looked at the person who had entered his office. The person was about ten years older than Lu Xingzhi and was in the same position as Lu Xingzhi. However, he was the leader of another regiment.
“By the way, are your family members coming on Independence Day?” the person asked.
Lu Xingzhi shook his head. “No..”
