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

Lu Yanxun's words immediately caught Zhou Meixia's attention.

She put down the quilt that was almost laid out and looked back at Jiang Zao.

He asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Zao'er?"

Jiang Zao shook her head and did not answer.

She wasn't feeling unwell; she was just holding back tears.

Zhou Meixia became even more nervous when she saw that she couldn't speak.

"Is your stomach hurting or are you hungry?"

"I don't feel unwell." Jiang Zao choked up as soon as she opened her mouth.

Even her eyes were red.

Lu Yanxun noticed that she seemed to be in great pain and assumed that her stomach was hurting again, but she was afraid to tell her mother because she didn't want to worry.

"Just say it if your stomach hurts, I'm here for you," Lu Yanxun said, frowning.

I was trying to recall how I massaged Jiangzao's belly yesterday.

"It doesn't hurt," Jiang Zao shook her head. "It's not a stomachache."

"So you're hungry?" Zhou Meixia's tone softened as she asked.

Jiang Zao was too embarrassed to say that she was moved by her mother's love.

He nodded in agreement: "Yes."

Zhou Meixia breathed a sigh of relief and said reproachfully, "Oh dear, you scared me to death! If you were hungry, just say so! I thought something had happened to you!"

Zhou Meixia quickly made up the rest of the bed.

"Alright, you two rest for a while. I'll go buy groceries and cook now."

She then walked towards the door.

As I passed by the door, I also pulled Jiang Guo, who had been quietly eavesdropping after receiving a dollar, away with me.

The footsteps of the mother and daughter faded into the distance, but their voices began to ring out.

"Mom, why is my sister crying more than before since she came back? She even cries when she's hungry." Jiang Guo's tone was full of confusion.

Zhou Meixia explained to her youngest daughter in a relaxed tone: "That's how pregnant women are, it's normal."

Jiang Guo was still puzzled: "But my sister wasn't like this last time she came back. Was she acting strange last time?"

"Both last time and this time were normal. It's no use for a little kid like you to know these things. Don't ask unnecessary questions. Mom has been through this before, Mom knows, and that's enough..."

Zhou Meixia's voice became softer due to the distance, and then it could not be heard anymore.

The surroundings quieted down.

The two people inside the room were speechless, and the atmosphere became stiff and cold.

Jiang Zao lay on her side at the head of the bed, covered by the blanket, intending to remain silent.

Lu Yanxun glanced at Jiang Zao, then turned his back to her and sat there indifferently.

The atmosphere in the room went from silent to deathly still.

There were clearly two living people, but they seemed to have no vitality at all.

How long passed like this, so long that Jiangzao fell asleep.

Then, a sudden movement in her stomach woke her up again.

When Jiang Zao woke up, she found Lu Yanxun still sitting in the same spot.

His back remained perfectly straight.

Hearing the sound of the blanket rubbing together, Lu Yanxun turned around and glanced back.

I discovered that Jiangzao had woken up.

He looked at her silently, as if waiting for her to speak.

"How long have I been asleep?" Jiang Zao yawned.

I didn't have a single dream during my nap, so I must have slept for a short time.

"Half an hour." Lu Yanxun's voice was devoid of emotion.

"Did I sleep for that long?" Jiang Zao asked, somewhat surprised.

She tried to sit up, supporting herself on the bed: "Is my mom back?"

When Lu Yanxun saw that she remembered, he went over and hugged her.

"No."

"You can call me if you remember," Lu Yanxun said after hugging the person.

However, when he said this, his tone was no longer as flat as before.

It's icy cold, hard and cold, and a bit freezing.

He seemed to be carrying a hint of impatience.

Jiang Zao pursed her lips: "I forgot."

She really forgot and didn't think to call Lu Yanxun over to hug her.

"Then remember this well from now on." Lu Yanxun's tone was even colder.

Like ice, the shards of ice chilled people to the bone.

The ginger and jujube's heart was frozen cold.

If she still couldn't tell that this man was angry by now, she would be a fool.

But why did he suddenly get angry for no reason?

Jiang Zao just woke up and was a bit grumpy.

“You…” She was dissatisfied with Lu Yanxun’s tone.

She looked at him, somewhat annoyed: "This is my home, not the Lu family's. Why are you being so fierce?"

After Jiang Zao's comment, Lu Yanxun seemed to realize that his tone was not very good.

But at this moment, he didn't want Jiang Zao to feel that he should give in on everything.

"How many days do you want to stay at your parents' house?" Lu Yanxun changed the subject, asking a question instead of answering the question.

Without even giving Jiang Zao a chance to answer, he immediately set a deadline for her.

"Two days, we'll go back first thing the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Zao almost laughed out of anger.

"Do I need your permission to stay at my parents' house for a few days?"

Lu Yanxun looked at Jiang Zao coldly, his deep eyes as black as night, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Jiangzao didn't want to guess at all.

She simply said, "I can stay as many days as I want, it's none of your business."

She lived as an orphan for twenty years before finally having parents and family.

Before they could even enjoy a few days of family reunion, Lu Yanxun poured cold water on their plans.

Who does he think he is?

She won't tolerate him!

Anyway, she's back with her family now, so she's not leaving. Let's see what he can do to her!

Jiang Zao glared at Lu Yanxun before turning her face away.

They adopted an attitude of "what can you do to me?"

"Jiang Zao, what exactly do you want?" Lu Yanxun asked coldly, his expression gloomy.

Jiang Zao turned around, staring at Lu Yanxun with her big, grape-like eyes, completely bewildered.

"I want to ask you what you really want. I just got back to my parents' house and you pull this stunt on me. Are you trying to make things difficult for me? If you don't want to stay here, you can leave now. I never expected you to come along anyway."

After saying this angrily, Jiang Zao turned her face away again.

Lu Yanxun said coldly, "No one is stopping you from going back to your parents' home, but you're about to give birth, so don't make things so complicated. It's not too late to come back after you give birth."

"What did you say at the hospital today? I thought you meant what you said, but it turns out you were waiting for me here!" Jiang Zao exclaimed in surprise. "I never imagined you were this kind of person!"

A cold smile instantly appeared on Lu Yanxun's lips: "It's a bit too late to think of that now."

As he spoke, Lu Yanxun glanced deeply at Jiang Zao's belly.

In Jiang Zao's view, his eyes held three parts mockery and five parts sarcasm.

The remaining two points were clearly an insult, implying she deserved it.

Meeting Jiang Zao's wide-eyed stare, Lu Yanxun finally uttered four words as a conclusion:

"You asked for it."

Especially when the two of them were standing and sitting, the way Jiang Zao looked at Lu Yanxun was as if she were looking up at him.

The feeling of imbalance continued to grow.

Jiang Zao was completely enraged.

She threw off the covers and jumped out of bed with the fastest and most agile movements she could manage.

Although, given Lu Yanxun's height, there's not much difference between Jiang Zao standing or sitting to him.

But she still felt that this pose was much more imposing than the previous one.

"So what if I brought this on myself?" Jiang Zao yelled at Lu Yanxun.
