A crazy beauty has an island, and a powerful figure from that era dotes on her.

Zeng Caiping's slightly cloudy eyes darted around as she pretended to scan the room.

"Commander Liu, where is your Xiao Ran?"

For some unknown reason, Zeng Caiping gave Jian Qingyi a meaningful smile.

Jian Qingyi raised her eyebrows slightly.

Yo!

Is this some kind of big surprise?!

"Ranran has reported to the military headquarters." When talking about his most beloved granddaughter, Grandpa Liu couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Grandpa Liu has three sons, but only one granddaughter, Liu Xiaoran. As the saying goes, things are valued for their rarity, so Liu Xiaoran, this one and only granddaughter, naturally became the apple of Grandpa Liu's eye.

In addition, Liu Xiaoran has been ambitious since childhood, and every teacher who has taught her has praised her for being easy to manage.

In the compound, she and Lu Yujing were known as other people's children.

The elders in the courtyard always scold their younger relatives like this...

Look at Lu Yujing and Liu Xiaoran...

Why don't you learn from Lu Yujing and Liu Xiaoran?

[Lu Yujing and Liu Xiaoran can do it, why can't you? Are you missing an arm or a leg compared to them?]

……

"Xiao Ran has been transferred back too!" Zeng Caiping's face showed both surprise and joy.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were very close!

"The military headquarters said they urgently need someone like Xiao Ran, and they insist that Xiao Ran come here." The middle-aged woman in a sky-blue floral shirt raised her chin slightly.

She is He Qionghua, the eldest daughter-in-law of Old Master Liu and the biological mother of Liu Xiaoran.

Because of her daughter Liu Xiaoran, He Qionghua's status in the Liu family has risen accordingly.

"At first, the people on the border refused to release them no matter what, but in the end, it was my old man who intervened, and they finally signed the papers to release them." He Qionghua's chin was practically pointing to the sky.

If Jian Qingyi still couldn't see through Zeng Caiping's little tricks at this moment, she would truly be a fool.

As we were talking, the phone suddenly rang.

The old man sat down next to the telephone and answered it casually.

"Hey……"

After hearing something said on the other end, the old man looked at Jian Qingyi, then smiled and hung up the phone.

“Yiyi, Yujing said he wants to drink the lotus root and pork rib soup that Wang Ma makes. Pack some and take it to him.”

“Okay!” Jian Qingyi smiled and agreed, then turned and went to the kitchen.

Hearing the commotion in the kitchen, Wang Ma had already taken out the thermos.

Lotus root and pork rib soup, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised beef, stir-fried vegetables...

Aunt Wang and Sister Chen filled two insulated buckets to the brim.

When Jian Qingyi arrived at the military region with the thermos, Lu Yujing had just finished dealing with some urgent documents.

He screwed on the pen cap and scooped his young wife onto his lap.

Burying his head in the crook of his wife's neck, Lu Yujing greedily inhaled the faint milky scent emanating from her.

Although he didn't like the food the two little ones ate, it smelled really good.

In particular, it also has the pleasant sweet scent of a young wife mixed in.

"Wife, you smell so good!" Lu Yujing had an urge to devour his wife whole.

He was never one to compromise himself.

That's what I thought, and that's what I did.

Wherever her thin lips touched, they left behind bright red little strawberries.

The temperature inside the room was getting higher and higher...

"Bang bang bang..." A knocking sound came from outside the door.

Jian Qingyi hadn't locked the door when she came in. Hearing the knock, she panicked, pushed the man away, and jumped off his lap.

Lu Yujing was amused by his wife's subconscious reaction.

Jian Qingyi glared at him irritably and looked down to check her clothes.

Seeing the wrinkled patch in front of her, she gently stroked it a few times, but to no avail. Frustrated, she pinched the man's ear.

The man grabbed his wife's hand and kissed it.

"Bang bang bang..." The knocking sounded again.

Jian Qingyi withdrew her hand and turned to go to the waiting area by the window.

"Come in!" Lu Yujing glanced down at his clothes, making sure there was nothing wrong, before speaking in a deep voice.

The door opened with a click.

A young woman dressed in olive green walked in with a smile.

Beneath her long, willow-leaf eyebrows were a pair of clear, almond-shaped eyes.

Fair skin paired with full, rosy lips reveals the charm and allure of a mature woman.

“Brother Lu…” The young woman’s voice was soft yet magnetic.

Lu Yujing was tidying up documents when he was startled by the address "Brother Lu" and looked up.

“Liu Xiaoran…” Lu Yujing narrowed his eyes.

"Long time no see!" Liu Xiaoran flashed eight small white teeth.

"If I remember correctly, you seem to be older than me, right?" Lu Yujing closed the file.

Liu Xiaoran blushed.

After a long pause, he finally managed to utter, "I'm only three days older than you."

Jian Qingyi suppressed the corners of her mouth that wanted to turn up, trying her best to minimize her presence.

"Sister Liu, even one day is still a day." Lu Yujing got up and walked to the reception area, reaching out to take his wife's hand.

“Wife, this is Sister Liu. She went to the border town with Uncle Liu and the others a few years ago, and she was recently transferred back with Uncle Liu.”

"Sister Liu, this is my wife. You're older than us, so just call her Yiyi," Lu Yujing said with a smile as she introduced the two women.

"Hello, Sister Liu!" Jian Qingyi tried hard to suppress her laughter.

That scoundrel has a really sharp tongue.

Sister...

In later times, she would be embarrassed to use that word if the person opposite her wasn't at least sixty or seventy years old.

The way the words "Sister Liu" made Liu Xiaoran's face turn pale and then red.

Especially striking was the long, glaring red mark on Jian Qingyi's neck, and the wrinkles on her body.

Liu Xiaoran is no longer a little girl; what do those red ribbons and the wrinkles in her clothes signify...?

Even if she's stupid, she'd figure it out.

"Yi Yi, I heard you're from Nancheng? There are a lot of mountains where you live, right?" Liu Xiaoran blinked her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.

"Yes! Quite a lot. We live at the foot of the mountain. The day before I married Yu Jing, I was digging for wild vegetables and gathering firewood on the mountain!" Jian Qingyi nodded, feigning ignorance.

Acting? Anyone can do that!

"You're not going to dig up wild vegetables to eat, are you?" Liu Xiaoran frowned with some disgust.

"There's no rice to cook at home, so we can only dig up some wild vegetables to fill our stomachs," Jian Qingyi sighed lightly, feigning nonchalance.

A soft chuckle came from the office doorway.

The three of them looked over at the same time.

Zhou Chenfeng raised an eyebrow and waved to the three of them.

His gaze finally landed on Liu Xiaoran. "Sister Liu, it's been a long time. Why didn't you bring your husband along?"

As he spoke, he placed the takeout box he was carrying on the coffee table in the reception area.

Jian Qingyi sniffed.

Chicken stew with mushrooms, steamed beef with rice flour, braised goose feet with matsutake mushrooms...

"Zhou Chenfeng, you're older than me." Liu Xiaoran took several deep breaths to suppress the anger rising in her chest.

“Lu Yujing and I are brothers. He calls you Sister Liu, and I call you Liu Xiaoran. That’s so impolite!” Zhou Chenfeng picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of cold tea, and then drank it all in one gulp.
