Chapter 29

“Jingxing, you came at the right time. I happen to be a little tired. You can help Lu Anning with the rest. I’ll go out and take a rest first.”

After saying that, Lu’s mother dropped the beans she was picking and left the kitchen as quickly as possible.

“???”

Lu Anning looked at Lu’s mother’s quickly departing back in silence.

Is this the same mother who just now said she was not tired at all when I asked her if she wanted to go out and rest for a while?

This is happening a little too fast!

Sui Jingxing smiled slightly. It was great to have a mother-in-law who was not only understanding but also provided him with opportunities!

“Lu Anning, what do you need me to do?”

She wanted to say that she didn’t need to say anything, but the other party had an expression that said, “I won’t leave unless you tell me.” So she had to point to the beans that Lu’s mother had not finished shelling, and motioned for him to sit on the small stool and finish the work that his mother had not finished.

Who knew Sui Jingxing was crazy today? Not only did he not sit down, but he picked up the basin of beans on the ground and placed it on the stove.

Lu Anning felt very strange about his abnormal behavior, but she couldn’t speak and couldn’t ask out of curiosity.

But she didn’t really plan to ask, and continued to avoid his sight and do her own work.

Lu’s mother, who had just walked out of the kitchen, did not really go to rest. She stood by the door and secretly watched how her daughter and son-in-law got along.

Seeing that Jingxing did not sit down but stood not far from Lu Anning, she gave him a thumbs up with satisfaction in her heart.

As expected of her son-in-law, he is so smart!

Father Lu was very puzzled by her peeping behavior. He patted her shoulder, but when Mother Lu waved him away, he decided to go all the way and put his arm around her waist and forcibly took her away from the kitchen door.

“Lu Sheng! What are you doing!?”

Mother Lu suppressed her voice and was a little annoyed.

“Mother, what are you doing?!”

“Are you stupid? I’m watching their interaction!”

“It’s really disgraceful for you to hide by the door and peek. If Lu Anning finds out, she will definitely feel very uncomfortable.”

“I’m still worried about the two of them.”

“We will be returning to Beijing soon. I am afraid that once we leave, what if they really sleep in separate rooms as I suspected?”

“What else can we do? Just continue to sleep separately. It doesn’t matter!”

“It’s easy for you to say that. What if I sleep in a separate room from you? Would you be happy if I let you sleep in the study?”

“Absolutely not! We are husband and wife, how can we sleep in separate rooms!”

“You are double standard!”

“We are husband and wife and must sleep in the same room. Lu Anning and Jing Xing are also husband and wife!”

“This… Isn’t it your guess that they didn’t sleep in the same room? Maybe they are not who you think they are.”

“No matter if it’s what I think or not, you have to unite with me. If you continue to try to smooth things over and think that nothing matters, you’ll have to pack your bags and go to sleep in the army dormitory when you get back to Beijing! I’m happy to be alone and there’s no one to snatch my blanket from me.”

“I…Isn’t it okay for me to support you?”

Father Lu looked at his wife, who was almost irritated by him, with grievance and did not dare to do it again.

He was sure that if he insisted on his own idea, he would be kicked out of the room by his wife when he returned to Beijing.

He had been a soldier for decades and had received all kinds of training. In fact, as early as the first day he entered the house, he found that the two of them had very clear areas of activity, and the two did not sleep in the same room at all.

Because a person is often more relaxed in all aspects in his daily life. Things needed in daily life will be placed in the most familiar and convenient place.

Lu Anning’s things were basically placed in the inner room. In the outer room, almost nothing belonged to her, proving that she didn’t usually go out much.

Although Jingxing’s things were in both the outer room and the inner room, some of the clothes he wore for daily training were placed in the cabinet outside.

There are some in there, but not much.

It felt like he had temporarily moved into the inner room in order to avoid suspicion from him and Nianzhi.

Based on his understanding of Jingxing, it was most likely because they came too suddenly. He didn’t have much time to make arrangements, so he quickly packed up and left.

He really wanted to cover for his daughter, but his wife had already said something harsh, so for the sake of his own happy life, he decided to stand on his wife’s side.

My daughter, dad can’t help you, you’re on your own!

After confirming his own feelings, Sui Jingxing in the kitchen felt as if his six meridians of love were opened.

However, his behavior at this time was not too radical. Apart from standing next to Lu Anning and shelling beans, he did not do anything else.

He would like to take it a step further, but it is not appropriate yet.

If he takes one step forward and Lu Anning takes two steps back, the loss will outweigh the gain.

The two were busy in the kitchen for about ten minutes. When the last dish of fried peas and meat came out of the pot, Sui Jingxing had already brought all the other dishes to the table.

“Lu Anning, go wash your hands and prepare for dinner. I’ll take care of the rest.”

After receiving the instructions, Lu Anning hurriedly washed his hands and left the kitchen impatiently.

“Huh~”

Where he couldn’t see, she couldn’t help but let out a long sigh. Today’s cooking time was finally over.

She didn’t know what this person was thinking today. Why did he keep standing next to her and not leave? It made her so nervous that she almost put sugar into the dish by mistake instead of salt.

He came out, picked up the cup, took a big gulp of water, then sat on the chair and prepared to eat.

“It’s great that Lu Anning has worked so hard to cook so many dishes.”

Father Lu fully demonstrated his ability to praise his daughter without thinking. In his opinion, anything his daughter did was the best.

It was not enough to just praise with words, he also gave a thumbs up with his hand to show that he was serious about the praise.

“Thanks, Dad.”

After Sui Jingxing came out and took a seat, the four of them started eating.

He pretended nothing had happened, served Lu Anning a bowl of soup, and put a small spoon he had just taken from the kitchen in it.

The rest of them drank the soup directly from the bowl, but Lu Anning liked to use a spoon and drink it in small sips, which was very polite.

Lu’s mother, who was sitting opposite him, was very pleased with his behavior.

According to her intuition and guess, Jingxing went out early this morning and did not even come back for lunch. It might not be because of something happening in the army as he said, but he sought advice from an expert to make clear his feelings for Lu Anning.

Lu Sheng had done something similar when he was dating her before.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to maintain a distance with Lu Anning in the past two days, and suddenly come to his senses after coming back today.

If she knew who the person who guided Jingxing was, she would definitely go to the house with a generous gift to thank him in person.

This is a great contribution between her daughter and son-in-law!

If you want to enter a peaceful heart, you have to be proactive and subtle, so that she gets used to the presence of people around her.

If, like before, neither of them takes the initiative, then it’s all over.

Fortunately!

She can finally return to Beijing with peace of mind!
