Chapter 30

The meal seemed very warm, but only Lu Anning knew how embarrassed she was inside.

Sui Jingxing is really sick today!

He picked up food for her more often during this meal. Not only did he take good care of her while she was eating, he also praised her cooking from time to time.

As a daughter-slave, how could Lu’s father tolerate himself being inferior to others in his daughter’s affairs? He praised her fiercely, fearing that he would lose to his son-in-law.

As long as Sui Jingxing praised him once, Lu’s father would follow up with at least three or four more sentences.

For the first ten minutes or so, Lu Anning was still able to express his gratitude for their compliments with a smile, but later he simply ignored them and quietly buried his head in his meal.

After dinner, Sui Jingxing actively took over the task of washing dishes.

Regardless of Lu’s father’s grievances, Lu’s mother took her daughter’s hand and went out for a walk, and ordered Lu’s father not to follow them.

“Lu Anning, mom and dad will be home soon, and we don’t know when we will see you again. Mom has been very worried about you before, but now that Jingxing treats you well, your dad and I are relieved.”

“Jingxing is also a child that your father and I have watched grow up. In terms of character, he can be considered one of the best men. Otherwise, considering how much your grandfather and father dote on you, if he is not good, they would definitely not agree to your marriage.”

“Mom can see that you may not have any feelings for him yet, but since you have decided to stay here and continue to live with him, can you promise mom to try to open your heart and get along well with him?”

Lu’s mother stopped, turned her head and looked at Lu Anning seriously.

“Respecting each other is certainly a way for couples to get along, but it is far less good than treating each other as equals and supporting each other.”

“Think about your grandparents, your father and I, and your brother and sister-in-law. Which couple is not in love? If one of us has a cold relationship and gets along like strangers, then the atmosphere of our entire family will not be as harmonious as it is now.”

“Things like feelings, in your little room, may only be related to you and Jingxing, but when you leave the room, it’s different again, and it becomes a matter of two families.”

“Mom can see that Jingxing likes you very much. If possible, Mom sincerely hopes that you can try to understand him.”

“Give him and yourself a chance, okay?”

At the end, Lu’s mother’s voice became a little choked.

Lu Anning and Jing Xing have a military marriage, so divorce is very difficult.

It would be fine if Sui Jingxing was not a good choice for a husband, but it is also good for them to get along like this now. As long as Lu Anning lives well, they have nothing else to ask for.

But Jingxing has already taken the first step. As Lu Anning’s mother, she naturally hopes that her daughter can be happy.

Lu Anning was very moved when she heard the first part of Lu’s mother’s words, but when she heard the last sentence, she felt a little unbelievable.

Mom said Sui Jingxing likes her?

Is there?

Mom doesn’t think that just because he helps cook tonight and picks food for her, it means he likes her, right?

Isn’t this his behavior because he’s worried that his father-in-law and mother-in-law will find fault with him?

She shook her head slightly. There must be something wrong with her mother’s perception, which made her think Sui Jingxing liked her.

“Lu Anning, will you promise your mother?”

Not wanting her mother to worry about her after returning home, Lu Anning nodded solemnly.

“good!”

Mother Lu clapped her hands happily.

“As long as you’re willing to try.”

“Mom doesn’t have any other extravagant wishes in this life. I just hope that you and your brother are well. Then I will be relieved.”

The mother and daughter walked hand in hand in the family compound.

Lu’s mother was worried that her daughter was not familiar with Jingxing, so she told her many interesting stories about Jingxing’s childhood during the walk.

From the time he was born and peed on his biological father to the time he signed up for the army without telling his family, and all kinds of big and small things, Lu’s mother told Lu Anning almost everything she knew about Sui Jingxing.

It was getting dark, and the father-in-law and son-in-law were still worried about going out to look for someone and then returning home.

“Has Jingxing finished his bath?”

“I’m done.”

“Lu Anning, go take a shower. I’ll wait until you’re done before I take another shower.”

“Mom, first.”

“Don’t refuse. Jingxing has already finished washing. Go back to your room and get your clothes. I’ll get you some hot water.”

“Mom, you take a rest for a while, I’ll help Lu Anning carry it.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

Since Jingxing is so proactive, Lu’s mother will not snatch away his opportunity to perform.

Lu Anning took her clothes to the bathroom, where Sui Jingxing was helping her add cold water.

“Have you got everything?”

His question reminded her of yesterday’s embarrassing situation, and she nodded immediately without hesitation.

Not only did she take everything, she also checked it again before leaving the room.

“Take your time washing. I’m going to go out first.”

Sui Jingxing walked out of the bathroom without ignoring Lu Anning’s red ears.

Perhaps it was really like what Political Commissar Tan said, Lu Anning was shy. This discovery made him secretly happy.

As long as Lu Anning responded to being spoken to and touched by him, he had a chance.

After taking a shower, Lu Anning returned to the room reluctantly. As soon as she opened the door, her eyes met Sui Jingxing who was sitting on the bed. She immediately turned into an ostrich like the original owner and quickly avoided eye contact with him.

Now, whenever she saw him, she would unconsciously recall what Lu’s mother had told her not long ago, that Sui Jingxing liked her, and her thoughts became a little confused.

He didn’t know what kind of drugs he had given his mother. In such a short period of time, she had switched sides to his side and even acted as his lobbyist.

Putting aside the strange thoughts in her mind, she carefully climbed into the inner side of the bed, trying her best to avoid touching his body.

Sui Jingxing didn’t make any unnecessary movements and didn’t avoid her. It was quite amusing to watch her behavior.

When Lu Anning was awake, she was afraid of having too much contact with him, but she didn’t know that when she was asleep, she wished she could put both her hands and feet on him.

After she lay down, Sui Jingxing finally moved. He turned sideways and faced her.

Lu Anning’s heartbeat gradually quickened as he moved.

It wasn’t so exaggerated originally, but ever since she heard Lu’s mother say that he liked her, no matter whether it was true or not, she found it difficult to remain calm.

Fortunately, the original owner had a good heart. If it were her in the past, she would have to be rushed to the hospital for treatment because of her rapid heartbeat.

“Lu Anning, are you afraid of me?”

Lu Anning’s mouth twitched.

Afraid! She is so scared now! Brother, please don’t suddenly transform into a beast!

“Lu Anning, don’t be afraid of me.”

“Since the day you married me, I have sworn to my father-in-law and mother-in-law that I will love and protect you for the rest of my life.”

“I know we are not familiar with each other yet, but I will try my best to be a haven that you can trust and rely on, so don’t be afraid of me. I will never hurt you.”

“If you’re not used to it, we can just be friends, okay?”
