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

Jiang Bei instinctively knew he shouldn't get close at this moment.

"Then I'm not going."

The brother and sister left, munching on apples, intending to report the situation to their parents.

Inside the house.

Jiang Zao hid under the covers and refused to come out.

The reason is simple: she doesn't want to see Lu Yanxun right now.

As for why I don't want to see him, it's quite simple.

I just don't like him.

"Do you want to get up?" Lu Yanxun asked casually, looking at Jiang Zao who had covered her head with the blanket.

Jiang Zao's muffled voice came from under the covers: "Who said I was going to get up?"

"Didn't you want an apple?"

Jiang Zao fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.

When she spoke again, she was a little embarrassed and angry: "Who said I wanted to eat an apple?"

"Then what do you want to do?" Lu Yanxun sat down, his tone calm and composed.

Jiang Zao kept her head buried under the covers: "I don't want to do anything. Get out. I don't want to see you right now."

Lu Yanxun paused for a moment before asking, "Because of what happened this afternoon?"

He remembered that he had rejected her last question that afternoon.

"Hmph." Jiang Zao snorted coldly, "You..."

Just as Jiang Zao was about to deny it, Zhou Meixia suddenly arrived.

As soon as he walked in, he asked, "What's up this afternoon?"

Jiang Zao didn't want Zhou Meixia to know what had happened that afternoon, so she immediately shut up.

Zhou Meixia strode to the bedside and reached out to pull the blanket off Jiang Zao's head.

"Why are you covering your head? It's so stuffy," Zhou Meixia said worriedly. "I asked Guozi to get you an apple, but why didn't you eat it? What's wrong? Did you two have another fight?"

"No." Jiang Zao tucked the blanket under her armpits and smiled apologetically at Zhou Meixia. "I was just joking with him."

"I just heard Yan Xun mention something about this afternoon. What happened this afternoon?" Zhou Meixia asked worriedly.

When she came back from chatting in the afternoon, she glanced into the house.

Jiang Zao was sleeping at the time, and Lu Yanxun was in the room with her. The young couple seemed to be doing nothing wrong.

"Sister Caifeng brought some fresh peas this afternoon. I ate a few, but she said pregnant women shouldn't eat too many and wouldn't let me eat any more," Jiang Zao casually lied.

"So that's how it is." Zhou Meixia smiled, relieved.

In a good mood, she even stood up for her son-in-law: "Yan Xun was just concerned about you. You girl, you don't even know what's good for you. I'm not taking your side in this matter."

“Mom, you’re my mom.” Jiang Zao pouted. “Why are you taking the side of an outsider?”

After saying that, she rolled her eyes at Lu Yanxun.

Zhou Meixia said with dissatisfaction, "He is your husband, our son-in-law, how can you call him an outsider!"

Jiang Zao also snorted in dissatisfaction, but did not refute it.

Seeing her looking downcast, Zhou Meixia went over to coax her, "Didn't you want to eat apples? Your uncle and aunt bought apples, but Mom only gave one to each of your younger brother and sister. The rest are all for you, and no one else is allowed to eat them."

"Pregnant women shouldn't hold grudges. You've been sleeping for half a day, so you must be hungry. Get up and eat an apple first, then we'll have dinner soon. Your uncle and aunt are staying for dinner tonight."

"Are your uncle and aunt still here?" Jiang Zao asked, glancing at Zhou Meixia.

“They heard you were back and came to see you. They arrived late, so I invited them to stay for dinner. Get up when you wake up and go talk to them,” Zhou Meixia replied. “Oh, and your cousin Mengmeng is here too.”

As Jiang Zao was replaying memories of her uncle and aunt in her mind, Zhou Meixia suddenly mentioned a cousin named Mengmeng.

Memories of my cousin Mengmeng flooded back instantly.

Jiang Zao's face immediately turned somewhat ugly.

Zhou Meixia didn't notice the subtle change in Jiang Zao's expression. After telling her to get up quickly, she busied herself going out to cook.

Seeing Zhou Meixia rush in and rush out again.

Jiang Zao sighed.

Lu Yanxun's gaze immediately followed: "What's wrong?"

“I remember now,” Jiang Zao said.

Lu Yanxun picked her up: "Do you want to get down?"

"Ah."

Lu Yanxun helped her put on her shoes again: "Are you going out?"

"Okay, I can walk by myself." Jiang Zao didn't intend to let Lu Yanxun carry her.

However, Lu Yanxun still picked her up and only said one sentence: "There are thresholds."

Jiang Zao was surprised: "You're quite thoughtful."

Lu Yanxun didn't say anything, but carried the person out the door and put them on the ground.

Just when Jiang Zao thought she could walk the rest of the way on her own, her hand was suddenly grabbed.

Lu Yanxun naturally took her hand and walked alongside her.

Jiang Zao's heart suddenly fluttered.

She had been carried around by Lu Yanxun several times, but this was the first time he had held her hand.

This was the first time Jiang Zao had ever held hands with a man in her life, both before and after her time travel.

Perhaps because it was her first time, Jiang Zao felt a mix of excitement and bewilderment.

Coming to her senses, Jiang Zao instinctively tried to pull her hand back.

Sensing Jiang Zao's resistance, Lu Yanxun gripped her hand even tighter.

"Don't get me wrong, I was just worried you might fall, that's all."

“I didn’t think you meant anything by it,” Jiang Zao said stiffly. “I’m just a little uncomfortable.”

This remark drew a condescending gaze from Lu Yanxun.

The other person's gaze was so intense and hard to ignore that Jiang Zao felt extremely uncomfortable.

"What are you doing?" She looked up to meet Lu Yanxun's gaze. "Are you questioning me? Do you think it's ridiculous for me to say I'm not used to it?"

Lu Yanxun's silence seemed to confirm that Jiang Zao was right.

For some reason, Jiang Zao was very dissatisfied with his attitude.

She even felt a little wronged.

Although she didn't know why she felt wronged, she just felt it.

Jiang Zao forcefully pulled her hand back: "Yes, I'm lying. Before this, I don't even know how many men I've held hands with!"

After a pause, Jiang Zao said defiantly, "When I said I wasn't used to it, I was just trying to annoy you."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Jiang Zao made large movements and took big steps.

She seemed to have forgotten that she was a heavily pregnant woman.

Lu Yanxun was afraid that she would lose her footing and fall.

He chased after her and tried to take her hand.

The moment he touched her fingertips, Jiang Zao forcefully flung him away.

"Do not touch me!"

“I didn’t question you,” Lu Yanxun explained calmly.

"Who are you trying to fool?" Jiang Zao sneered. "If you didn't question me, would you look at me like that? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You say you don't question me, but I don't know what you're cursing me in your heart."

“Including now.” Jiang Zao tilted her chin up, glancing sideways at Lu Yanxun, and accused through gritted teeth, “You must have already cursed me to death in your heart.”

"I didn't." Lu Yanxun's gaze darkened slightly, and the helplessness in his tone was obvious.

Jiang Zao, who was in a fit of anger, couldn't hear what was going on.

"You're not denying it because you really don't, but because you're afraid I'll get angry," Jiang Zao exposed.

"I don't admit it because it really doesn't happen. Of course, I'm also afraid you'll get angry. Pregnant women shouldn't get angry," Lu Yanxun explained to Jiang Zao in a calm tone throughout.

However, his tone always carried a hint of helplessness.
