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

Chapter 170 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Reconciliation
On their way back to the guesthouse, Jiang Moli and Lu Cheng ran into Lu Tingting, who had just finished eating at Feng Meihua's house.

She looked at the two of them curiously: "Third Uncle, where did you go?"

Jiang Moli: "My dear niece, don't pry into other people's business."

"Tch! Who cares about your messy affairs!"

By the time we got back to the guesthouse, it was almost dark.

Lu Cheng filled a thermos with hot water and warmed the cooled lunchbox in it. He then recounted his morning meeting with Yang Liqiong, including their conversation, to Jiang Moli without missing a single detail.

"When I got back to camp, I handed over the task of setting up the stage to Zhao Hongbing and the others, and tried to minimize my contact with her."

Jiang Moli's gaze fell on the man's chiseled face, her thoughts drifting.

On the way back, she had the system check the trajectory in Lu Cheng's original book.

Three months later, he registered his marriage with Yang Liqiong.

Four months later, he was promoted to commander of an independent regiment and stationed at the border of Menglong Town, 60 kilometers away from Menghai.

After marriage, Yang Liqiong did not join the army but continued to work in the cultural troupe.

Two years later, Lu Cheng and Yang Liqiong divorced.

And then that was it, because the book had ended.

However, the fact that Lu Cheng's marriage and promotion happened so close together made it hard for her not to speculate.

Yang Liqiong provided significant assistance in his promotion.

Lu Cheng, who had remained calm in the face of death countless times, panicked under the silent gaze of his wife.

"Jasmine, please talk to me. I have no idea what you're thinking if you don't talk to me."

Jiang Moli said, "The food should be warm by now, let's eat and talk."

"it is good."

Lu Cheng picked up the lunchbox from the hot water basin, took a bite with his chopsticks to test the temperature, and then placed it in front of Jiang Moli.

Jiang Moli ate a couple of bites of rice, and her stomach wasn't so empty anymore, so she looked up at the man and said, "Hey, can I ask you something?"

Lu Cheng quickly swallowed the food in his mouth. "Ask away."

"If you hadn't married me, would you have married Deputy Regiment Commander Yang?"

"will not."

Jiang Moli looked at him and said, "I had a dream this afternoon. I wasn't in the dream. The person you married was Deputy Regiment Commander Yang."

Lu Cheng looked at her and asked, "And you? Who did you marry in your dream?"

His tone was tinged with jealousy; he was clearly more concerned about who married Jiang Moli than about him possibly marrying other women.

Jiang Moli: "I had an accident and passed away."

Lu Cheng frowned: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Jiang Moli simply put down her chopsticks. "Let's be honest, I think if it weren't for me, you would definitely marry that guy surnamed Yang, just like in your dream!"

That's a bit unreasonable.

She suspected her husband of having an affair based solely on a dream.

Instead of showing any impatience, Lu Cheng looked at her with a smile and asked, "Are you jealous?"

"Stop grinning at me!"

Lu Cheng suppressed his smile, but his joy still shone through his eyes.

If a wife gets jealous even in her dreams, does that mean she's already fallen in love with him?
He'd better give a good answer, or he'll disappoint his wife.

"If you didn't appear in my life in my dream, even if I married another woman, it would definitely be a compromise after weighing the pros and cons."

"Before I met you, marriage was just a task I had to complete in life. If I couldn't marry the woman I loved, it didn't matter who I married."

"But Jasmine, you're different. You made me realize that marrying the woman you love and living with her is a truly happy and joyful thing."

"So, before I met you, I might have married any woman, but after I met you, you are my firm and only choice."

Jiang Moli originally thought that Lu Cheng and Yang Liqiong's divorce in the original book was due to their long-term separation leading to a breakdown in their relationship.

Hearing him say that, she couldn't help but speculate again.

Could the marriage between Lu Cheng and Yang Liqiong in the original book have been an agreement, intended to circumvent the organization's veiled accusations?

Let's just say that. Jiang Moli felt much better and found men more agreeable.

Lu Cheng keenly noticed her emotional change and thought to himself that he had passed this test.

He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

He had never been this nervous, not even when giving a performance report to his superior for the first time.

He quickly changed the subject, "Do you have class tomorrow morning? If you don't, I'll find two people to go with you to catch shrimp in the river down the mountain. You don't need to go into the river; you can supervise from the riverbank."

Fearing that Jiang Moli would think he was being perfunctory, he added, "I have to go to a meeting in town tomorrow, otherwise I would have gone to catch it for you myself."

Jiang Moli agreed, "Then I'll write you a list tonight, and you can go to town to buy it tomorrow."

"it is good."

"So you're not angry anymore, are you? Otherwise, I'll grab Jiaojiao and let you beat her up to vent your anger?"

Jiang Moli remained silent, but then she remembered something else.

"Are you thinking of promoting Zhang Jiaming?"

Lu Cheng bluntly stated, "I previously thought that Jiaming was a down-to-earth person and handled things reliably, and I was willing to cultivate him, but now it seems that there is no need."

"Is it because of Jiang Qing?"

"The problem mainly lies with him; he's easily influenced and can't make sense of things when they happen."

……

Looking at her in-laws' house gate, Fann Wong felt a mix of emotions.

She hadn't wanted to come, but her husband called her specifically that afternoon.

knock knock knock.

Hearing the knock on the door, Lu Dezhao turned to An Hui and said happily, "It must be the eldest son's wife. I'll go open the door."

An Hui grabbed him: "Never mind, I'll go."

When the door opened, it was indeed Fann Wong, accompanied by Lu Haoyu and Lu Nana.

The brother and sister were unaware of the adults' discord, and happily went inside after calling out to their grandmother.

"Mom," Fann Wong called out softly, feeling a little awkward.

An Hui nodded, "Come in, there's only one more dish before we start eating."

As the spicy crayfish were served, the family sat down around the table to eat.

"Grandma, what kind of dish is this? I've never seen it before!"

"This is spicy crayfish."

An Hui picked out a large crayfish, skillfully peeled off the shell, and dipped the pink crayfish tail meat into the broth.

Then, under the gaze of everyone at the table, he placed the shrimp meat into Fann Wong's bowl.

Lu Haoyu protested, "Grandma, I want to eat too."

Lu Nana chimed in, "I want one too!"

An Hui looked at her grandchildren with affection: "Okay, I'll peel them for you now."

Turning around, she saw Fan Wenfang standing there, not touching her chopsticks, and scolded, "Eat up, don't just stand there. This dish was specially ordered by the third son's wife for you."

Ma Hongmei chimed in, "That's right, don't underestimate the value of mantis shrimp; they taste surprisingly delicious when cooked."

"Thank you, Mom."

Feelings of gratitude and shame mingled in her heart, making Fann Wong's voice slightly choked.

Lu Haoyu and Lu Nana both enjoyed the meal immensely.

This was the first time the brother and sister had ever eaten crayfish in their lives, and they couldn't get enough of it, so they kept pestering Ma Hongmei to make it again tomorrow.

An Hui handed Fan Wenfang two large bags that she had packed beforehand: "They were all sent by the third son's wife from the army. There are tea, medicine and dried fruit."

Fann Wong twisted her fingers, looking ashamed: "Mom, I'm sorry. I spoke without thinking yesterday and said things that made you angry. Please don't hold it against me."

An Hui looked at her and said, "Why bring up the past? Don't worry, the third son's wife has promised to bring Tingting back soon."

"Ah."
