After four years of marriage, the military officer husband came back

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table stopped what they were doing and there was an awkward dead silence in the room.

"Cough...cough..."

Xia Qingning had just swallowed a mouthful of rice when she was suddenly choked by these words. She started coughing non-stop and her face turned red instantly.

Seeing that she was choking, Lu Jingzhe, who was standing by, poured her a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her with a calm expression.

Xia Qingning quickly picked up the soup and buried her whole head in the bowl.

"Eat quickly, eat quickly, what does a little girl know?" Wang Mingfang immediately came out to smooth things over.

Lu Xiaoxue looked unconvinced and continued: "

"Why don't I understand? Aunt Zhao said that if two people kiss, they will have a baby. They kissed for so long this afternoon, so they must be about to have a baby."

Everyone's eyes turned to look over again...

belch……

Xia Qingning didn't cough this time, but started burping instead, one after another, as if she couldn't stop.

"Eat." Lu Jingzhe patted Lu Xiaoxue on the head with a stern face and uttered two words in a deep voice.

Under Lu Jingzhe's majesty, Lu Xiaoxue didn't say anything else and started to eat the rice in the bowl.

Everyone started talking about other things, as if nothing had happened.

Only Xia Qingning continued to burp...

The atmosphere seemed to have returned to the time before the topic of having children was discussed, but Xia Qingning felt really embarrassed, so she quickly finished her meal, left the table, and went back to her room.

Wang Mingfang went out after dinner. Yao Hongmei was pregnant and the doctor said that the fetus was a little unstable. Xia Qingning left the table first, so the task of washing dishes naturally fell on He Shanshan.

He Shanshan was cleaning up the dishes while throwing things around. She had never done these things before Lu Jingzhe came back. Thinking of what Lu Xiaoxue had just said, that Lu Jingzhe and Xia Qingning kissed in the room, she became even more angry.

If Xia Qingning was really pregnant and gave birth to a son, she would be so proud of herself that she would have no chance to deal with her. Thinking of this, He Shanshan clenched her fists, her eyes full of resentment, and she could no longer suppress the evil thoughts in her heart.

When they went to bed at night, Xia Qingning and Lu Jingzhe tacitly agreed not to mention the accident, but Xia Qingning slept a little further outside.

Regardless of whether it was an accident or not, the two did kiss. She had an indescribable strange feeling in her heart, which made it so that when she looked at Lu Jingzhe now, it was not as natural as before.

As for her first kiss, she had thought of countless scenarios when she was young and ignorant, but she had never expected it to be like this. It seemed like they had kissed, but it also seemed like they hadn’t.

Another thing she couldn't understand was why Lu Jingzhe was so calm.

Oh, yes, he also grabbed my... chest at that time. Fortunately, he didn’t come to apologize to me afterwards. If he had apologized, the scene would have been so embarrassing just thinking about it.

After Xia Qingning had been daydreaming for a while, she slowly fell asleep. Lu Jingzhe, who was beside her, heard her even breathing, frowned, and unconsciously turned to look at her.

The faint moonlight shone through the window, adding some soft light to her delicate face. She had an oval face, curled eyelashes, and pink lips under her small nose.

His eyes rested on her lips, and the image of kissing her flashed quickly through his mind. For the first time, he truly felt how soft and tender the girl's lips were.

The replay of the scene made his throat roll up and down unconsciously, and a feeling of heat arose in his body.

After a moment, he turned his head and forced himself not to look at her.

The next day, Xia Qingning got up early, washed, combed her hair to one side, braided it into a fluffy fishbone braid, and matched it with a plaid headband. She looked fresh and lively.

When I went out, I saw Yao Hongmei walking out of the room. Her face was pale, as if she had no blood at all, and she seemed to be unsteady when she walked.

"Sister-in-law, are you feeling well?" Xia Qingning asked.

"It's okay, I'm just feeling stomachache lately." Yao Hongmei said weakly.

Xia Qingning knew that she would definitely not be able to keep this baby. After hesitating for a moment, she reminded him:

"You should go to the hospital as soon as possible. Pregnancy pain cannot be ignored."

Yao Hongmei was a little worried and a little embarrassed:

"It's probably because I vomited too much. I didn't vomit this much when I was pregnant with Yingying. Mom said it was okay. Pregnant with a boy will have more severe reactions. I'll be fine after this period of time."

Xia Qingning had already said what she needed to say. If she said something more serious, people might think she was cursing her. After a moment of silence, Xia Qingning finally reminded her:

"Sister-in-law, your body is your own. You'd better go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible." After saying that, she walked out of the house without stopping.

She has already reminded her, it is up to her whether she listens or not.

After listening to Xia Qingning's words, Yao Hongmei was hesitating when she heard Wang Mingfang's voice behind her:

"Why go to a hospital! Once you go for a checkup, it's all needle sticks and blood draws. Your body can't handle it, and it's easy to get into trouble!"

Wang Mingfang came over, patted Yao Hongmei's arm, and comforted her:

"Hongmei, vomiting means the child is naughty and makes trouble. It's obviously a boy. You should eat more. It doesn't matter if he vomits. Just eat again. As a mother, it's your duty to suffer for your child."

Yao Hongmei covered her stomach and opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she held back and nodded obediently:

"Well, Mom, I understand."

Xia Qingning didn't dare to ride her bike so fast, so she took Wu Xiaodong's car to the factory as usual. When she arrived at the factory gate, she was seen by Liao Qiang who was riding a bike.

Liao Qiang followed the two of them silently. His pair of slender, inverted triangle eyes scanned Xia Qingning carefully from top to bottom, looking at her increasingly beautiful figure. Thinking of the red spot on her chest that he saw when he took off her clothes last time, Liao Qiang felt hot all over.

For a man, the more he can't get a woman, the more anxious he becomes. The slap in the face last time no longer hurt, but his desire to get her rose again. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Xiaodong who was walking with Xia Qingning. He seemed to understand something and walked forward silently.

Xia Qingning had just sat down in front of the sewing machine when a female worker next to her looked her up and down and said jokingly:

"Qing Ning, I think you've become prettier lately."

After her reminder, the female workers around also looked over and saw the person in front of them with an oval face, curled eyelashes, and especially her eyes, which were sparkling as if there were stars embedded in them.

In the past, her original body always kept her head down, and was cautious in everything she did and said. Although she was beautiful, she seemed like a pearl covered with dust, and she always felt like something was missing. Although it is the same face now, Xia Qingning is generous and always smiles when she sees people. Her temperament has changed, and she is a completely different person. Otherwise, why do people say that confident people are the most beautiful?

Everyone couldn't help but praise it:

"Yeah, not only have you become more fashionable than before, but your skin has also become better."

"They say clothes make the man, but look at Qing Ning, she looks good in anything she wears."

"That's right, that's right. I've never seen a woman who looks so good in this gray work uniform."

After hearing this, Liu Xiaohong, who was standing by, curled her lips in disdain, her eyes full of contempt.

At this time, Team Leader Qin came over with a gentle smile on his face and said:

"Now that her husband is back, she should dress up more."

When Xia Qingning asked for leave a few days ago, she told Team Leader Qin that she and her husband were going back to her parents' home, so Team Leader Qin naturally knew that her husband had returned.

"Ah, your husband is really back?" The female workers became even more curious. Xia Qingning had been working here for two years. Everyone knew that she was married, but no one had ever seen her husband.

"Hey, stop gossiping." Team leader Qin walked up to Xia Qingning and said:

"Director Liao said he wants to see you. Go to his office now."

Hearing the words "Director Liao", Xia Qingning frowned slightly. Wasn't the slap in the face last time enough of a lesson for him?

"Go quickly." Team leader Qin patted Xia Qingning's arm and said.

Xia Qingning responded, stood up and walked towards Liao Qiang's office.

"What's going on?" Qian Xiaofang, who has always been rather gossipy, looked at Xia Qingning's back and couldn't help but ask Liu Xiaohong beside her, "Why did Director Liao ask her to go to the office again?"

"What else could it be..." Liu Xiaohong raised her fox eyes and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth:

"Oh... it's just that."

"Ah?" Qian Xiaofang said with a puzzled look on her face:

"Didn't everyone just say that her husband is back? And the rumor in the factory is that her husband is an officer and holds a high position."

"Humph!" Liu Xiaohong sneered with disdain:

"What officer? Xia Qingning has been working for two years, right? Have you ever seen her as a man?" After saying that, he continued in an even more contemptuous tone:

"Even if he really is a soldier, I think at most he is a boiler operator in the army."

A female worker in her thirties passed by Liu Xiaohong and happened to hear her say this. She asked in surprise:

"Huh? What? The lime man is the boiler man in the army?"
