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

Zhou Meixia said with a long face, "I mean you can't sleep together."

"..."

Jiang Zao understood.

It turns out her mother wasn't worried about her relationship with Lu Yanxun being bad, but rather that their relationship was good...

Understanding the reason, Jiang Zao reacted quickly.

"Oh, is that so? Then let him sleep on the floor," Jiang Zao said immediately.

Then he said to Lu Yanxun, "Yanxun, you should sleep on the floor tonight."

Sigh, she even arranged to act with Lu Yanxun.

It turns out that all that was done was unnecessary.

But this is better, so we don't have to come up with an excuse later when we're caught.

"Hmm." Lu Yanxun remained calm.

Zhou Meixia was not so calm.

If she doesn't get things arranged for the two of them tonight, she definitely won't be able to sleep.

So Zhou Meixia immediately called out to the door, "His dad, bring the things in."

At Zhou Meixia's command, Jiang Laiwang, who had been waiting at the door, entered.

He was also holding a bag in his arms.

Upon closer inspection, Jiang Zao realized it was a bedding set.

Jiangzao: "..."

Her mother was so thoughtful; she even prepared bedding for Lu Yanxun.

Her mother really cares about her.

Zhou Meixia directed Jiang Laiwang to lay the straw mat on the ground, and then put a thick mattress on top of it.

Finally, he took out a quilt from the box.

"This straw mat is thick and can keep out the cold. The mattress is also thick. Sleeping on it is almost like sleeping on a bed."

After laying out the bedding on the floor, Zhou Meixia said, "Yanxun, I'm sorry to trouble you to sleep on the floor tonight. Zao'er's bed is small, and it will be inconvenient for you two to turn over in the night if you sleep together."

Lu Yanxun readily agreed: "Okay."

Seeing that he didn't seem to have any objections, Zhou Meixia felt much more at ease.

They smiled more often.

But she still added, "I'm doing this for your and the child's own good."

Lu Yanxun nodded: "I know, thank you, mother-in-law."

"Oh, you're welcome. You guys should get some rest. We'll be going now."

Zhou Meixia pulled Jiang Laiwang outside.

But as he walked towards the outer gate, he kept turning back.

They still seem quite uneasy.

Just before leaving the house, Zhou Meixia finally couldn't resist.

She said to Jiang Zao, "Zao'er, listen to your mother. I'm mainly worried about you."

Looking at Zhou Meixia's worried eyes, Jiang Zao immediately understood what she meant.

Jiang Zao's lips twitched slightly, but she forced a calm smile at Zhou Meixia: "Mom, don't worry! I won't!"

"Mom is just worried."

"There was a reason last time, but I really won't this time, not even for the sake of the children."

Jiang Zao gave a fake smile and repeatedly assured him.

Jiang Laiwang glared at Zhou Meixia and couldn't help but speak up: "What are you saying in front of the child! Zao'er said she doesn't know how, so hurry up and leave! Don't disturb Zao'er's rest."

Jiang Laiwang grabbed Zhou Meixia's hand and quickly walked out.

Zhou Meixia snapped at Jiang Laiwang in an annoyed tone, "What do you know! Forget it, I have nothing to do with you!"

Zhou Meixia shoved Jiang Laiwang, then turned and left.

Jiang Laiwang watched her retreating figure and muttered to himself, "You think you know everything? I don't know what you're thinking all day long!"

After her parents left, Jiang Zao's fake smile finally crumbled.

She glanced at Lu Yanxun, then at the bedding on the floor: "It's fine, no need to act anymore."

"Okay." Lu Yanxun closed the door.

Looking back at Jiang Zao, she asked, "Do you want to turn off the lights?"

"Turn off the light, I can't sleep if the light is on."

After Jiang Zao finished speaking, she buried half of her face in the blanket and said, "Go to sleep."

The lights are off.

Lu Yanxun walked to the bedding and lay down.

The two people in the room remained silent.

Actually, Jiang Zao wanted to chat with Lu Yanxun. She had taken a nap during the day and wasn't sleepy yet.

But after considering a few topics, she realized there wasn't much to talk about.

I might as well shut up and say nothing.

The brain begins to prepare for sleep by generating topics.

She fell asleep shortly afterward.

Lu Yanxun also thought that Jiang Zao would say something to him, so he waited silently for a long time.

In the end, all that could be heard was Jiangzao's soft snores.

Is she asleep?

The moon is very bright tonight; even with the curtains drawn, the light can still penetrate into the room.

Under the dim moonlight, Lu Yanxun turned his head and looked at the bed.

The bed was a bit high, and Lu Yanxun, sleeping on the floor, could only see a little bit of Jiang Zao's protruding belly.

He looked at her carefully for a while before he was sure that Jiang Zao was really asleep.

Lu Yanxun withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes as well.

I thought he wouldn't be able to sleep in this room and would be restless.

But unexpectedly, he fell asleep to Jiang Zao's soft snoring.

Sleeping very soundly.

I haven't even had a single dream.

Jiang Zao slept soundly and didn't wake up once all night.

So neither of them knew that someone had been eavesdropping outside their window in the middle of the night.

Jiang Laiwang and Zhou Meixia, dressed like thieves, hunched over and pricked up their ears to eavesdrop on the sounds coming from inside the house.

"It seems there's no movement," Zhou Meixia said to Jiang Laiwang with some satisfaction.

Jiang Laiwang glared at her fiercely in the middle of the night and said irritably, "I already said it's your own evil intentions that are at fault!"

Zhou Meixia turned around and glared at Jiang Laiwang, retorting, "What do you mean I have ulterior motives? I'm just worried they might not be able to control themselves at night!"

"They're young, like dry tinder...who knows what might happen..."

"Grandma, please stop!" Jiang Laiwang quickly interrupted Zhou Meixia. "I'm ashamed, even if you're not! If our son-in-law knew we were thieving under their wall in the middle of the night, I don't know what he would think of us!"

Zhou Meixia scoffed, "Who cares what he thinks? The most important thing right now is the baby in Zao'er's belly. Anyone who interferes with my Zao'er's smooth delivery, I'll fight them to the death! Not even my son-in-law!"

Zhou Meixia paused and then said, "Whether my Zao'er can secure her position as the young mistress of the Lu family depends on these two children!"

Jiang Laiwang was speechless at his wife's words: "They're already married, what's with all this talk about being settled? Stop worrying about it!"

Zhou Meixia's brows were furrowed tightly.

By the moonlight, she sized up Jiang Laiwang and said sarcastically, "Oh, you were worried about your daughter being kicked out of your husband's family during the day, but now you've changed your tune?"

Jiang Laiwang tightened his clothes, turned around and walked back: "I didn't know before, but after seeing my son-in-law today, I feel that the boy is not that kind of person. Let's go, don't stand here, it'll be so embarrassing if we're found out!"

Zhou Meixia chased after him and argued: "What do you know? If it weren't for these two children, do you think he would treat Zao'er well? I think no man is any good! Without a child to rely on, Zao'er might have to live a hard life in the future."

"Hmph, luckily my Zao'er is doing well, she got pregnant with twins in one go." Zhou Meixia couldn't help but feel proud.

But she quickly changed the subject, "But I can't completely relax until the baby is born!"
