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

"Hurry up, it doesn't count if we don't pinky swear," Jiang Zao urged.

Lu Yanxun extended his little finger and hooked it with Jiang Zao's little finger.

Jiang Zao also recited with a special sense of ceremony: "Pinky promise, never to change for a hundred years."

After reading it aloud, he said, "Stamp it."

Then he shook his thumb.

Lu Yanxun glanced at her equally fair, round, and somewhat short thumb.

This time, without being urged, he proactively extended his thumb and pressed it against Jiangzao's.

"The ceremony is complete!" Jiang Zao cheered happily.

Then, solemnly, he said, "Comrade Lu Yanxun, from today onwards, you and Comrade Jiang Zao... that is, myself, have become allies working together towards our respective goals!"

"We must help each other, trust each other, and strive to be the most sincere allies!" Jiang Zao pulled Lu Yanxun's hand over and held it tightly.

"Yes." Lu Yanxun's tone was also quite solemn. "I won't go back on my word."

Jiang Zao nodded emphatically: "No regrets."

The two reached an agreement without any obstacles.

The mutual distrust seems to have been largely resolved.

Having been in a relationship with Jiang Zao for so long, today is the most relaxed moment for Lu Yanxun.

Logically speaking, he wouldn't trust someone with a criminal record like Jiang Zao anymore.

The fact that he didn't react as if he had seen a ghost is already the greatest respect one can show to his unborn child.

Neither of them are good for ginger and jujubes.

But somehow, from the moment Jiang Zao defended him at the dinner table, he subconsciously began to have the idea that she was someone he could trust.

This is also why he decided to have an open and honest talk with her.

The result is not bad.

Lu Yanxun was not disappointed.

The deepest gloom that lingered in my heart seemed to slowly dissipate without me even realizing it.

For a moment, he even forgot that the place he was in was the former "crime scene".

"Then don't sleep on the floor tonight, sleep in the same bed with me."

Just as Lu Yanxun was feeling good, Jiang Zao suddenly spoke.

Her thinking was simple: since the two had already reached an agreement, they shouldn't be hostile to each other.

At least during the period of cooperation, they should try their best to act as a harmonious couple.

Jiang Zao's main concern was that her family discovered the two of them weren't sleeping in the same bed.

Her parents will start overthinking things again.

Although it was Jiang Zao's first time being a daughter, she was a filial daughter and didn't want to see her parents worrying about her marriage.

They just sleep in one bed and do nothing.

Jiang Zao didn't think it was an excessive request, so she just said it casually.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yanxun's scalp tingled instantly down to the tips of his hair.

His calm expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

"Jiangzao!" Lu Yanxun gritted his teeth.

In that instant, he thought that everything Jiang Zao had told him before was a lie.

All that talk about pinky entrapment was just a prank on him.

That despicable woman, she lied to him again.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Zao asked innocently, her eyes filled with confusion. "Why are you suddenly so agitated?"

She glanced at Lu Yanxun's icy gaze and suddenly realized what was going on.

It seems she doesn't think being excessive or useless.

Given Lu Yanxun's strong reaction, he probably won't agree to this.

Okay, let's just pretend she didn't mention it.

"Oh! I understand, you misunderstood!" Jiang Zao quickly changed her explanation, "I didn't mean to take advantage of you, but I just wanted to say that the weather is still cold at night, and you'll catch a cold if you sleep on the floor. How will you take care of me if you get sick?"

"Since I promised I wouldn't try anything with you, I won't. We've already pinky sworn in, and I'm a person who keeps my promises!"

Fearing that the misunderstanding would worsen, Jiang Zao offered a series of explanations and assurances.

After receiving Jiang Zao's repeated assurances, Lu Yanxun's expression softened slightly.

He apologized for misunderstanding her: "I'm sorry, I thought you wanted to back out."

Hearing this, Jiang Zao finally relaxed and slumped her shoulders: "How could that be!"

"Alright, it's all my fault for not explaining clearly, which made you misunderstand. I should apologize to you too." Jiang Zao comforted Lu Yanxun and apologized to him, "I'm sorry."

Haha, luckily she was clever and made an excuse that sleeping on the floor would make her sick.

"Ah."

Lu Yanxun accepted Jiang Zao's apology.

The matter just passed.

But the past is the past, and Lu Yanxun has no intention of listening to Jiang Zao and sleeping in the same bed with her.

"I can sleep on the ground. I sleep on the ground during field training too. I'm used to it and won't catch a cold."

"Oh." Jiang Zao nodded without saying anything.

Since that's what they said, she didn't insist.

As long as they don't change their minds and break the contract, it's fine.

But then again, how is she going to explain to her mother that Lu Yanxun doesn't sleep in the same bed with her tonight?

Even though their parents thought they were inseparable, they were clearly very close.

Even if we can't do that, it doesn't have to mean we have to sleep in separate beds, right?

Now it's Jiangzao's turn to worry.

She thought about it anxiously for a while, and soon came up with a solution.

“Lu Yanxun, since we’re going to play the role of a loving couple in public, isn’t it strange if we don’t sleep in the same bed?” Jiang Zao tried to bring it up.

Lu Yanxun frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on Jiang Zao's face, but he didn't say anything.

Jiang Zao forced a dry smile and said, "Let me make it clear first, I'm not trying to take advantage of you or play any tricks. I'm just seriously discussing this with you."

Lu Yanxun continued to look at her without saying a word.

But his gaze gradually turned somewhat sinister.

Jiang Zao forced herself to continue, "How about this? When we go to sleep tonight, we'll lie on the same bed as a makeshift bed, and after Mom and Dad are asleep, you can go downstairs and sleep on the floor?"

Lu Yanxun's eyes flickered slightly, his handsome face seemingly lost in thought.

It seemed as if he was pondering whether Jiang Zao's words were credible.

Seeing that he seemed to be wavering, Jiang Zao pressed on.

She appealed to his emotions: "It's just lying together to pretend. I'm a pregnant woman, what can I force you to do? Besides, you've hugged me before, and you've rubbed my belly before, even touching my skin."

She reasoned with him: "You've already hugged me and rubbed me, and it was you who laid your hands on me. Strictly speaking, I'm the one who suffered. We were just lying in the same bed with our clothes on, it's not a big deal, is it?"

"I promise."

Just as Jiang Zao was getting hoarse from talking, Lu Yanxun relented.

With her last concern resolved, Jiang Zao was in a great mood.

As a result, their attitude towards Lu Yanxun also improved.

"Yes, don't worry, I won't play any tricks, and the two babies are listening."

Jiang Zao touched her belly, a sweet smile unconsciously appearing on her lips: "Baby was so good today."

"Would you like to touch it?" she warmly invited Lu Yanxun.

"no need."

Lu Yanxun declined Jiang Zao's invitation and simply watched silently.

If you don't want to touch me, fine; Jiang Zao doesn't care about being rejected at all.

Her eyes were filled with her round belly: "I wish you could always be this good. If you want to move, you can move gently and not make me feel pain."

"Mmm," Lu Yanxun responded softly.

He suddenly felt sleepy, perhaps due to the effects of the alcohol.

He didn't drink much today, only two or three glasses.

Jiang Laiwang, mindful that he still had to take care of Jiang Zao, didn't let him fill the third cup.

He said he was drinking with his father-in-law, but in reality, Jiang Laiwang was drinking alone in the end.

Lu Yanxun doesn't drink much; he only drinks occasionally with his father during his holidays.

Two or three glasses of wine account for at most one-fifth of his alcohol tolerance, which is even less than what he drank with his father during his vacation.

And there will be no situation where you feel sleepy after drinking a few cups.

But for some reason, he was just very sleepy.

Could it be that the Jiang family's wine is stronger than the wine he usually drinks?
