NovelEnglish"You want to accompany your wife to buy clothes for your in-laws? You want to buy toys for her nephew?"
Lu Xingzhi snapped back to his senses. He looked at Mrs. Lu and did not say anything.
Mrs. Lu was right. He wanted to accompany Jiang Yao to buy things for his in-laws and gifts for Jiang Jie's son.

"Yaoyao has been pregnant for so long. How many times have you accompanied her to go out? How many times have you accompanied her to buy things? How many times have you gone shopping? Or let me ask you something else. The two of you have been married for so long. How many times have you watched movies together?
Your father and I are old, yet we still go to the cinema to watch new movies. Your father even bought me popcorn and a drink." After saying that, Mrs. Lu chuckled. Then, she handed the fruit to Lu Xingzhi.
Lu Xingzhi was depressed. He glanced at the fruit plate but did not move.
They were mother and son. Mrs. Lu took a glance and put it back into her mouth. "It's useless to be depressed. It's the truth anyway."
Lu Xingzhi and Mrs. Lu did not stare at each other for long. Not long after Jiang Yao brought Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang home, Master Cheng brought his family to see Lu Xingzhi in the hospital.
Cheng Jinnian called out to Lu Xingzhi from afar. Then, he ran into the ward and stood at the door. His sharp eyes looked around the ward but did not see anyone. Then, he ran into the bathroom to check if anyone was there. Then, he looked at Lu Xingzhi, who was on the bed, and said, "Brother-in-law."
That childish voice made Lu Xingzhi so happy. The depression that he had been feeling all morning cleared away instantly. It was rare for him to speak with a gentle expression.
"Where's my sister?" Cheng Jinnian walked toward Lu Xingzhi and lifted the blanket over him. "Did you hide my sister under the blanket?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMrs. Lu found Cheng Jinnian's words amusing. "Your sister went out," she said as she patted Cheng Jinnian's head.
At the door, Cheng Jinyan and the other two heard that. Cheng Jinyan glanced at Madam Cheng subconsciously. "When will she be back?" he asked, seeing her obvious disappointment.
"She went out with her parents to buy clothes. She also said that she would buy toys for her nephew. I think she will be back in a while." Mrs. Lu quickly invited the three people into the room. She handed Cheng Jinnian the fruits she had just washed and said, "Let's have lunch together later."
"If Yaoyao is okay, that's great." Cheng Jinyan pinched his mother's palm and comforted her silently. Then he said, "Why don't I call Yaoyao and ask her first?"
Cheng Jinnian sat with a plate of fruits, swaying his calves vigorously. His eyes were fixed on Master Cheng's phone.
When Jiang Yao received Master Cheng's call, she had just arrived at the shopping mall near the hospital. When she heard Master Cheng wanted to have lunch with everyone, Jiang Yao's first reaction was to refuse. However, before she could say it out loud, the image of Madam Cheng hugging her when she left the army base to go to Lanning flashed in her mind.
