Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 124 Trying to steal her boyfriend!

"Lu Ying, I..."

Lu Cheng was in a hurry to find his wife and impatient with Qiao Wenjing, so he walked around her before she could finish speaking.

Qiao Wenjing followed him persistently, "I heard you went to town to make a self-criticism. We all know you did nothing wrong; you were just implicated. I made some wild mushroom and chicken soup for you to nourish yourself..."

chicken soup?

Lu Cheng stopped in his tracks, only then noticing that Qiao Wenjing was carrying a clay pot the size of a football.

"Is there chicken soup in the earthenware pot?" he asked.

Qiao Wenjing nodded quickly and handed him the earthenware pot. "It's stewed with morel mushrooms, bamboo fungus, and wild pheasant. The soup is delicious and highly nutritious."

Qiao Wenjing was delighted to see Lu Cheng accept the earthenware pot.

This was the first time Lu Cheng had ever accepted her gifts on his own initiative.

Could it be that because of today's self-criticism, he finally realized that she is more outstanding and reasonable than Jiang Moli, and more suitable to be a good wife?

If it were him, she would be willing to marry him even if it was her second marriage.

Lu Cheng lifted the lid of the earthenware pot and saw that it was full of chicken soup, the soup was oily and shiny, and the aroma was strong.

"How much does this pot of chicken soup cost?"

"No need. I picked up the morel mushrooms and bamboo fungus while I was digging for medicinal herbs. The pheasant was a gift from the villagers. I didn't pay for it."

Lu Cheng smiled at her and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony..."

Qiao Wenjing was so captivated by his laughter that she couldn't help but smile back.

"I thank Dr. Qiao on behalf of my Jasmine; she should like it."

Qiao Wenjing's smile froze. "You...you're going to give it to Jiang Moli?"

"Yes, she's been quite tired these past few days and needs some nourishment. I'll take the soup to her while it's still hot. Bye."

Just leave.

Staring at his tall, imposing back, Qiao Wenjing's eyes welled up with tears of anger.

It's one thing for her to give her food to her soldiers, but she actually gave Jiang Moli the chicken soup that she painstakingly cooked!
She stayed by the stove all morning, stewing the food, and didn't even drink it herself!

……

In the guesthouse room, Jiang Moli was tidying her clothes.

Menghai is located in a tropical mountain forest with fluctuating temperatures. In addition to three sets of summer clothes, An Hui also packed two sets of spring and autumn clothes for her, along with underwear, socks, hats, towels, and the like, filling two large bags.

The wardrobe was cleaned yesterday when I moved in, so I can just put my things in it.

Hearing the door open, she instinctively peeked out.

Although he guessed it was Lu Cheng, he still couldn't help but feel hot when he actually saw him.

Lu Cheng looked at her, his gaze softening noticeably. "You're awake?"

"Ah."

Jiang Moli retreated behind the wardrobe to continue organizing clothes, but her cheeks were burning hot.

The heat reached its peak as the man entered the inner room and stood beside her, his unique and intense aura enveloping her completely.

My face feels like it's burning up!

We weren't this embarrassed last night when we were naked together, but now that we're both dressed, it feels awkward.

The man took the shirt and bamboo clothes rack from her hands, saying, "I'll take them. You sit down and rest for a while."

Jiang Moli looked up at him and asked, "How did you know to put it in?"

"You tell me, and I'll do as you say. Is this what you're going to hang up there?"

Lu Cheng is not stupid; on the contrary, he has an extremely high IQ.

Seeing that two shirts were already hanging in the wardrobe's hanging area, I casually hung up the shirt I was holding there as well.

"Hmm, hang up fabrics that wrinkle easily, and put underwear and socks in the bottom drawer."

Jiang Moli was happy to be a hands-off manager and sat on the bed to watch him tidy up.

There weren't many clothes left to begin with. After putting them away, Lu Cheng flattened the two suitcases, folded them in half, and stuffed them into the bedside table.

He then turned to look at her.

Because he was squatting, his line of sight was level with Jiang Moli's, who was sitting on the bed.

Jiang Moli felt her heart pounding under his intense and unfathomable gaze, wondering if the man was up to something else. Just then, he handed her a tube of ointment.

"Apply this to that area to reduce swelling and relieve pain."

"Oh."

Jiang Moli took the ointment and glanced at it, discovering it was erythromycin ointment.

The seals are all new; they were obviously just bought.

Looking up and seeing him still squatting, she couldn't help but say, "Go outside."

"do you need my help?"

"No need!" Seeing her blush, Lu Cheng smiled and got up, casually picking up the empty lunchbox that had contained brown sugar and egg soup from the bedside table.

"I'll go get some hot water and wash the lunchbox while I'm at it. Take your time, no rush."

"Ah."

……

After applying the medicine, I put on my trousers and went to the outer room.

Upon seeing the earthenware pot on the small dining table, I curiously lifted it, and a rich aroma of chicken immediately wafted out.

Large chunks of chicken and whole morel mushrooms soak in the light, yellowish chicken broth, which looks very appetizing.

A sweet feeling silently spread through my heart.

Rabbit meat last night, brown sugar and egg soup this morning...

Although the man didn't say it, she could guess that it was all prepared for her.

When she washed her hands and returned to her room, Lu Cheng had already brought back water and was pouring the chicken soup from the earthenware pot into a lunchbox.

The whole room was filled with the rich aroma of chicken soup.

"Come sit down and try this chicken soup."

Jiang Moli took the lunchbox and took a sip. The soup was rich, fresh, and delicious.

"Not bad, quite fresh."

Seeing that she liked it, Lu Cheng handed her the clean chopsticks.

Jiang Moli picked up a piece of morel mushroom and asked him while eating, "You didn't get this soup from the boss again, did you?"

Rabbit meat, chicken, and this chicken soup—the leader's entire fortune has probably been drained.

Watching her eat, Lu Cheng felt even more satisfied than if he were eating himself.

He replied, "The brown sugar and eggs are from Sister-in-law Wenjuan, and the chicken soup was a gift from Doctor Qiao."

The man's expression was natural and his tone was frank, so much so that Jiang Moli didn't think of "Dr. Qiao" as a rival in love at all.

Why would Dr. Qiao send you chicken soup for no apparent reason? Are you two close friends?

“We have no relation, but I saved her life.”

"Oh."

Jiang Moli wasn't one to eat alone; after picking up a chicken wing, she pushed the lunchbox in front of him.

"You should eat some too."

Lu Cheng placed the lunchbox back in front of her. "You eat it, I won't."

Jiang Moli stared at the chicken wing in her hand for half a second, "Is Dr. Qiao a man or a woman?"

"female."

How old are you?

"I don't know."

Jiang Moli smiled enigmatically, "You accepted their chicken soup, but don't you know how old they are?"

“She’s not from my camp, I don’t need to know anything about her personal life. Besides, I accepted this chicken soup on your behalf, and I’ve already thanked her on your behalf.”

Whether the man was pretending to be stupid or genuinely naive, this approach still resonated with her.

She picked up a chicken leg and fed it to him.

"I won't eat it, you eat it."

"Open your mouth!"

Lu Cheng obediently opened his mouth and bit into the chicken leg.

Jiang Moli pinched his ear, "This is a reward for you."

Lu Cheng felt good from her pinch, and the corners of his mouth turned up high.

"Does Dr. Qiao often bring you chicken soup?"

Lu Cheng, munching on a chicken leg, said, "No, this is the first time."

"She used to deliver food."

Jiang Moli paused in her nibbling on the chicken wing, and looked at him: "What did you send? Is it good?"

"I don't know, I haven't eaten it, it was all given to the people in the camp."

Although Jiang Moli kept her little emotions hidden inside.

But Lu Cheng was exceptionally intelligent, and his insight was far superior to that of ordinary people.

“I only saved her because it was my duty. I’ve told her many times not to send me things because it’s not a good thing, but she won’t listen. I’m quite annoyed with her too.”

Damn it, they're trying to steal her boyfriend!
Jiang Moli's fighting spirit was instantly ignited.
