Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

Jiang Yao and the two women chatted. Lu Xingzhi was like a wooden sculpture that could not be ignored; he stood there without making a sound. He looked imposing, but Major He did not speak either. For a time, only the voices of the three women could be heard in the living room.

Just as Jiang Yao wondered if Major He would be embarrassed because Lu Xingzhi was so cold to him, Lu Xingzhi suddenly stood up and invited Major He to the study room.

​ 

Indeed, he did invite him. His tone was much more polite than his expression. Then, the two of them went to the study room to talk.

Even though the three women did not know what the two men chatted about in the study room, the atmosphere was not so awkward after they left.

Jiang Yao looked at Major He’s wife’s stomach and wanted to touch it out of curiosity. After she asked for permission, she gently placed her palm on Major He’s wife’s lower abdomen. Coincidentally, there was a fetal movement. It felt as if a pair of mischievous little feet had lightly kicked her palm.

That was a miracle brought about by life. It was a huge shock for Jiang Yao, who was looking forward to having a kid.

“What a clever baby.”

Jiang Yao sighed, then reluctantly withdrew her hand. Then, she smugly touched her belly and smiled. “I’m also feeling happy.”

When Major He’s mother-in-law saw Jiang Yao do that, she guessed that she was expecting, but she did not ask further. She said, “You and Sergeant Lu have only been married for a short time, right? Young couples should not be in a hurry. My daughter and son-in-law were also married for several years before they got pregnant. In the past, one was in the army, and the other was in our hometown. They had to spend less time together and spend more time apart. Couples like you are different from ordinary couples. You can’t be anxious.”

Jiang Yao was not in a hurry, but Lu Xingzhi really wanted a child, so she looked forward to it.

However, she was not in a hurry yet. She understood that children depended on fate.

Major He’s wife smiled bashfully. She rubbed her belly and said, “Recently, the little guy inside has been very naughty. He moves around from time to time. My husband said that it must be a boy who likes to mess around.”

Jiang Yao’s interest was piqued. She glanced at Major He’s wife and smiled. “Major He wants a boy?”

“Well, not really. This is our first child. It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl.” Major He’s wife shook her head. “It’s just that the child is too naughty. So, he guessed that it would be a boy. He said that he was also that naughty when he was in his mother’s belly.”

“Do you want me to take a look?”

Jiang Yao liked Major He’s wife, who had a quiet personality. However, Major He’s wife’s quietness was different from Chu Sheng’s, who had a hard temper that could not be ignored in her quietness. However, Major He’s wife’s tranquillity was due to her gentle personality.

Jiang Yao had few friends with Major He’s wife’s personality. It was not difficult to get along with her. Jiang Yao saw that Lu Xingzhi had invited Major He to the study room. It seemed like he wanted to befriend the man.

Therefore, as Lu Xingzhi’s wife, she also had an obligation to help recruit Major He’s family.

She could see that Major He respected his mother-in-law very much, and Major He’s mother-in-law doted on her daughter.

“Do you know how to do that?” Major He’s mother-in-law was slightly shocked.

“Mom, she is a medical student, and her medical skills are especially amazing.”

Major He’s wife nodded. She was like Major He; she believed in Jiang Yao’s medical skills. Jiang Yao had spoken on her behalf when her mother-in-law dragged her downstairs for a walk.
