Commander Lu had too many things to deal with, so he worked overtime in the military camp all night.

It was already daybreak when we drove back.

After getting off the car, Lu Xiao carried pork, eggs, milk powder, refined rice and some vegetables and gently opened the door and walked into the room.

Seeing that Xia Xizhi was still asleep, Lu Xiao changed out of his military uniform and went to the kitchen to start cooking. He stewed some braised pork, fried some scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried some vegetables, and made some winter melon soup.

Xia Xizhi, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the fragrance.

After being stunned for a second, I got up and walked to the kitchen, only to find Lu Xiao was cooking.

Xia Xizhi suddenly felt embarrassed. This leader had worked overtime all night and had no time to rest when he came back. He came back early in the morning and started cooking again...

Xia Xizhi quickly said, "Don't do it, let me do it."

After he finished speaking, he realized that Lu Xiao had already prepared a whole table of food...

"Ahem, um, how did you do it so quickly..."

Looking at Xia Xizhi, who had just woken up and looked adorable, Lu Xiao smiled and said, "It's all ready. Just go wash up and sit down to wait for dinner."

As he said that, he couldn't help but scratch her messy hair.

Xia Xizhi coughed lightly, "Next time you work overtime, just come back and rest. Don't cook, I'll do it. If outsiders see it, they'll think I'm mistreating you."

Lu Xiao gently picked up Xia Xizhi, who was not yet fully awake, and placed her in front of the wash basin. He flicked her nose and said with a smile,

"Hurry up and wash your face. Why bother worrying about what others think? You're pregnant, so you need to get more rest. Cooking creates fumes, which is bad for the baby in your belly."

"Don't worry, I'm in good shape. I can still train even if I don't sleep for two days. If your man feels tired even after cooking a meal, then he's a complete waste."

When Xia Xizhi heard the three words "your man", she was so confused that she didn't realize that something was wrong. She just wanted to express her gratitude to him for his hard work in cooking.

"Thank you for your hard work, my boss! Your cooking is so delicious! My mouth is watering just by smelling it!"

Xia Xizhi raised his hands above his head, made a heart shape to Lu Xiao, and winked.

Lu Xiao's heart was instantly struck, and an electric current surged through his body. He concealed the strong possessive desire in his dark eyes and said with a smile, "Hurry up and wash up, or the food will get cold soon."

"okay."

......

After dinner, Xia Xizhi found a large bag of snacks on the cabinet, including toffee, rice sticks, popcorn, melon seeds, etc.

"Why are there so many snacks?" Xia Xizhi wondered.

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "Since you seem to like these snacks, I bought some."

Xia Xizhi's face suddenly flushed slightly. In this day and age, snacks were for children, and she, an adult, was still eating them. He had actually discovered her...

I thought he didn't know.

"Do you think I'm greedy?" Xia Xizhi asked embarrassedly.

"What are you greedy for? What else do I need from you? Tell me what else you like to eat and I will buy it for you." Lu Xiao touched her head lovingly with a smile on his lips.

Xia Xizhi coughed lightly and nodded.

Speaking of this, Lu Xiao suddenly remembered that Xia Xizhi rejected the head of the art troupe yesterday.

"Don't you want to join the art troupe? Is it because of the baby in your belly? If you want to join, I can talk to the director of the art troupe. The art troupe is a good job."

Xia Xizhi shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not because of the child. I just simply don't want to go. I'm not interested. I'm more interested in making money."

She had to think carefully about what to do with the gold in the space.

The reform will start next year, so we have to prepare in advance, make it ready before the birth, and start right after the birth.

Lu Xiao paused, "Short of money?"

He stood up and strode to the cabinet in the room to take out two passbooks. "This is my salary over the years. I have basically never spent it. You can use it."

Xia Xizhi quickly refused, "No, no, that's not what I meant."

Xia Xizhi was surprised to see the number on the passbook. Nearly eight thousand... "You..."

Although Lu Xiao is now a leader and has a high salary, he also worked his way up from the bottom. How could he possibly save so much...

Lu Xiao saw Xia Xizhi's doubts and explained,

"In the past, I would occasionally be given a stipend of 500 to 1,000 yuan for missions, and that was given to me since I had no family."

It's easy to say, but in this day and age, advance pay meant the mission was extremely dangerous. This was compensation for the families, essentially trading their lives for cash. No wonder he was promoted so quickly...

Xia Xizhi suddenly felt a little sorry for this man.

"I can't have this, keep it for yourself."

"You are my wife now. I have no other relatives. I feel most at ease leaving you." Lu Xiao said, paused, and then said,

"Even though you're 'his' wife, we share one body. If anything were to happen to me, you'd be the only one to sign. So I can trust you unconditionally, and you can trust me too."

After saying that, Lu Xiao suddenly felt heartbroken, wondering when she would accept him.

If the one inside her body offered her money, she would take it without a second thought...

In fact, he didn't know that Xia Xizhi simply didn't want to care about money... After all, she couldn't even spend all her own money.

Xia Xizhi nodded and said seriously, "Okay, we can trust each other."

Lu Xiao's expression suddenly turned from gloomy to affectionate, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes fell on Xia Xizhi's face, and he also nodded seriously.

......

While Lu Xiao was resting, Xia Xizhi quietly washed his shirt. When hanging the clothes, the driver Xiao Zhang came over hesitantly.

Seeing that Xiao Zhang had something to say, Xia Xizhi took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong? Is there anything?"

Xiao Zhang scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Excuse me, sister-in-law, you sing so well, why don't you join the art troupe?"

"Sister-in-law, you may not know this. Girls in the city are proud to join the art troupe. They rush to join because the salary is high, the benefits are good, and it's prestigious."

Xia Xizhi smiled and said, "I know that, but I have other things to do. Joining the art troupe means I have to travel around frequently, which is not suitable for me."

"Oh."

Xiao Zhang scratched his head and suddenly felt admiration for Xia Xizhi. She could even refuse the art troupe... No wonder she could defeat the cold-faced leader. Her thoughts are different from those of ordinary city girls.

He suddenly felt that Xia Xizhi would definitely achieve great things in the future... He wanted to follow her...

Xiao Zhang doesn’t know yet that his decision will have a major impact on his life and his name will be on the Forbes list in the future.

At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly came towards Xia Xizhi.

Xia Xizhi saw who was coming, frowned slightly, and couldn't help cursing in his heart, "What bad luck!"

Ning Yu glanced at Xiao Zhang beside Xia Xizhi, and then his gaze fell on Xia Xizhi. "Xizhi, can you come with me over there? I have something to tell you."

Xia Xizhi was blunt and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it here. Also, please call me by my full name from now on."

Ning Yu's expression suddenly changed. He pursed his lips for a moment and suddenly said in a muffled voice,

"sorry."
