The little drama queen is both capricious and naughty, but her military officer husband insists on s

"The child... I'll leave it to you, I won't fight you for it," Jiang Zao said cautiously, gently stroking her belly.

After saying that, she waited anxiously for the reaction of the two little ones in her belly.

Only when her stomach showed no signs of labor did she dare to quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Yanxun was holding back, but he didn't intend to scold Jiang Zao.

Instead, he wanted to question her about what tricks she was up to.

But he was afraid that his words would anger Jiang Zao, causing her to become furious and make a scene as endlessly as she had during the day.

He could afford to wait, but her body couldn't, and neither could the child.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Yanxun swallowed back the question that had been on the tip of his tongue.

He hesitated several times before speaking.

In the end, he coldly left behind only one sentence.

"Let's talk about it after the baby is born."

It sounded a bit like he was gritting his teeth.

Jiang Zao was delighted to hear that there was room for discussion: "So you've agreed?"

Lu Yanxun kept a straight face and didn't say a word.

He didn't agree to anything.

No matter what Jiang Zao wanted to express or what purpose he wanted to achieve, he would not respond.

We'll talk about everything after the baby is born.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."

Feeling hopeful about the possibility of a divorce, Jiang Zao was in high spirits, her tone even tinged with laughter.

Lu Yanxun had no idea what Jiang Zao thought he had tacitly agreed to.

I don't want to know.

As long as she behaves herself and doesn't cause trouble, she can think whatever she wants.

Jiang Zao said happily, "Then it's settled."

Jiang Zao's reason for wanting a divorce is very simple.

The original owner ruined Lu Yanxun and forced him to marry someone else, so it's understandable that he felt resentful.

Once the child is born, he will most likely take the initiative to ask her for a divorce.

Rather than being abandoned later, she'd rather withdraw voluntarily.

Perhaps the Lu family will even give her a divorce settlement because she bore them two children.

She didn't know what she could do after divorcing Lu Yanxun.

But she was used to being independent since she was a child and believed that no matter where you are, there is always a way out.

However, these things are not urgent.

The baby is still about two and a half months away from being born, and she will need to undergo postpartum confinement after giving birth.

Although a twenty-year-old's body is young and recovers relatively quickly, childbirth still takes a toll on one's vitality.

It's impossible to leave immediately after childbirth; you need to rest for a while longer, and at the very least, wait until your body is fully recovered before leaving.

Then we need to discuss the terms of the divorce with the Lu family in detail.

Jiang Zao roughly estimated that it would take about six months from now until the divorce.

No rush, there's still plenty of time.

For now, she should stay at the Lu family home and rest during her pregnancy.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zao's mood brightened from cloudy to sunny.

The two children were unusually well-behaved and didn't make a fuss at all.

Jiang Zao glanced at Lu Yanxun and found that his appearance had become much more pleasing to her eyes.

Jiang Zao sighed inwardly. Sure enough, when you're in a good mood, you can ignore many unpleasant people and troublesome things.

Lu Yanxun ignored Jiang Zao's words, pretending not to hear them.

To change the subject, ask, "Didn't you say you wanted to get up and walk around? Are you still going?"

Jiang Zao gathered her thoughts and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I can't sleep anyway, so it's good to get up and walk around."

She reached out her hand towards Lu Yanxun: "Come and help me."

Jiang Zao's tone was light, natural, and unpretentious, without a trace of calculation.

If Lu Yanxun hadn't witnessed and personally experienced her despicable and vile nature, he would have been fooled by her innocent and harmless appearance at first glance.

However, it's pointless to dwell on these things now.

After he was tricked into drinking the drink she had carefully prepared, it was destined that he would become entangled with someone like her.

A sense of irritation rose in Lu Yanxun's heart.

The temperature around me suddenly dropped several degrees.

Jiangzao shivered for no reason.

She looked at Lu Yanxun and noticed that his face was so cold it was almost frozen.

Jiang Zao naturally assumed that Lu Yanxun didn't want to help her, which was why he was putting on such a sour face.

She immediately huffed unhappily, "Didn't you ask me if I wanted to get out of bed and walk around? Now you don't want to help me? Were you just being polite to me?"

"Fine, I won't help you then. Do you think I wanted you to help me? I never expected you to be the kind of man who says one thing and does another."

Jiang Zao withdrew her hand, grabbed the blanket, and lay back down on the bed.

She cursed Lu Yanxun in her heart for breaking his word.

Lu Yanxun frowned, his tone cold: "Did I say anything?"

He didn't say anything, but Jiang Zao immediately launched into a barrage of accusations.

Jiang Zao glared at him: "You didn't say anything, but your expression said it all."

Lu Yanxun looked at Jiang Zao, puzzled, and asked with a light sneer, "Oh? What does my expression mean?"

Jiang Zao felt a little uncomfortable because of his mocking tone.

She retorted to Lu Yanxun, "Your expression shows you don't want to help me at all."

Lu Yanxun nodded thoughtfully, and said meaningfully, "So you can read people's expressions too? I thought you never knew what expressions meant."

Ginger and Jujube: ...

Damn it, this man is basically calling her shameless.

No, it's an insult to the original owner for being shameless.

This man was indeed still resentful about being violated.

They even harbored extreme resentment.

Jiang Zao understood the meaning behind Lu Yanxun's words, but was powerless to refute them.

Because she also wanted to curse the original owner to death.

Shameless, despicable bastard!

Jiang Zao took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

Getting angry is bad for her health; she needs to calm down.

She is now the true owner of this body.

Jiang Zao secretly vowed that she would definitely get a divorce after the child was born.

She wanted to stay away from Lu Yanxun and never put up with this humiliation again.

Half a year.

She will be free in just six months.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zao swallowed back her anger.

She closed her eyes and chose to ignore Lu Yanxun.

I don't plan to get out of bed.

She wants to sleep.

We need to conserve our energy and build up our strength.

You need to take good care of your health before you have the strength to have a baby.

Jiang Zao silently prayed: The hardships will pass, there will be bread, and there will be a brand new future.

Lu Yanxun waited for a while and saw that Jiang Zao hadn't opened her eyes for a long time, nor had she moved or said a word.

He then asked, "Aren't you going to get off and walk?"

Jiang Zao rolled her eyes with her eyes closed and replied coldly, "The kids said they want to sleep and told you to go somewhere cool and stay there. If you disturb their rest any more, get out."

Lu Yanxun didn't care whether these words were what the child wanted to say or what Jiang Zao wanted to say.

But ever since she moved the child out, he hasn't made a sound.

There is one thing that both of them are well aware of and cannot deny.

—Children are Jiang Zao's trump card, but also Lu Yanxun's Achilles' heel.

Lu Yanxun silently watched over Jiang Zao, whose eyes were tightly closed.

She didn't leave the bedside until her breathing gradually became steady and long, and then she went to lie down on another empty bed.

This is a four-person ward, but Jiang Zao is the only one here, so the other three beds are empty.

Lu Yanxun chose a hospital bed closest to Jiang Zao so that he could check on her condition at any time during the night.

The two beds were very close together, and when Lu Yanxun was lying down, he could clearly hear Jiang Zao's breathing.

Lu Yanxun always slept lightly in unfamiliar places; his years of military life had given him a wolf-like keenness.

Even when you're exhausted and sleepy, you're still alert to changes in your surroundings when you're not sure if it's safe.

The slightest sound or movement could wake him up instantly.

In Lu Yanxun's subconscious, Jiang Zao was the most unsafe factor tonight.

He wasn't worried about anything unexpected happening to her during the night.

Rather, it was the very existence of Jiang Zao that made him reflexively feel danger.

Encountering enemies on the battlefield or encountering venomous snakes and wild beasts during field training did not feel particularly troublesome.

Ginger and jujubes were his nightmare.
