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

Chapter 280 Only in Dreams Can I Have a Wife
Even when faced with the cold, menacing muzzle of a gun, Lu Cheng remained calm, quickly devising a countermeasure in his mind.

The bandits had two old-fashioned bolt-action rifles. These rifles were cumbersome to use; each time they fired, they had to rotate the machine gun, pull it back to let the spent cartridge fall out of the gun, and then reload.

Including the aiming time, it takes about seven or eight seconds to fire the next shot.

The remaining one was the revolver in the leader's hand.

While chasing them, he vaguely heard the revolver fire four or five shots, meaning it had at most two bullets left.

If they can dodge the first four shots, he and Jiang Peng still have a chance to escape.

Just as Lu Cheng was meticulously planning, several shots of hunting rifles rang out.

Two of the four bandits who were confronting Lu Cheng fell down instantly.

Both sides were stunned by this sudden turn of events.

The leader on the other side was also a ruthless man. Seeing that the situation was not good, he raised his revolver and fired at Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng instinctively tried to dodge, but then remembered that Jiang Peng was behind him.

In that brief moment of hesitation, he was struck below his left ribs.

Just then, two more shotgun blasts rang out from the woods, and the leader on the other side fell to the ground.

At this point, all three armed bandits had been taken down.

The remaining bandits stood frozen in place, at a loss for what to do. After a moment, they turned and ran away.

Seeing that the danger had passed, Lu Cheng's tense nerves relaxed slightly, but the sharp pain from his wound made him groan involuntarily.

Jiang Peng then noticed that he was injured. "Brother-in-law, you're hurt!"

Lu Cheng opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly everything went black.

Before he fainted, he vaguely saw two figures running towards him.

……

Looking at Lu Cheng, who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, Zhong Weiguo turned to the doctor and asked, "It's been two days and two nights, why hasn't he woken up yet? Why don't you give him a more detailed examination of his injuries?"

The doctor explained, "The patient's injuries are not serious. He is unconscious because he is overly fatigued. His body is recovering through sleep, and he will be fine once he wakes up."

"But if he keeps sleeping like this without eating or drinking, how can his injuries heal?"

As they were talking, Lu Cheng, who was lying on the hospital bed, opened his eyes.

Zhong Weiguo was overjoyed: "You've finally woken up!"

Lu Cheng opened his mouth, his voice weak and hoarse: "I didn't want to wake up, but you woke me up anyway."

Zhong Weiguo didn't mind his complaints at all, and instead laughed so hard that his gums were showing: "You've been sleeping for two days and two nights, if you keep sleeping you'll ruin your health!"

Lu Cheng closed his eyes briefly. "Where's Jiang Peng?"

"He's fine, just some minor cuts and bruises on his hand. He'll be fine after a while."

After Zhong Weiguo asked the doctor to leave, he closed the ward door, moved a stool and sat down next to Lu Cheng to talk to him about the mission.

"Dr. Gu lost too much blood, but he has been rescued and the data was not lost. This batch of research data is extremely valuable to the country. You have made a great contribution to this mission!"

Lu Cheng turned his head to the side. "Have all the soldiers returned safely?"

The joy on Zhong Weiguo's face faded. "Ge Jun sacrificed himself. There's still no news about Zhang Jiaming and Tang Yuan, but the others have all returned safely."

Lu Cheng told Zhong Weiguo in detail about Zhang Jiaming and Tang Yuan's act of risking their lives to lure the enemy away.

Zhong Weiguo said, "I understand the situation. I will send someone to find them."

After a pause, Zhong Weiguo told him, "Your family has already notified you, so just focus on recovering."

Does his wife know he's injured?

Are you worried about him?
He wanted his wife to care about him and miss him, but he didn't want her to worry too much.

As I was thinking, I drifted off to sleep and even had a dream.

He dreamt that his wife came to visit him, her eyes brimming with tears as she threw herself into his arms and poured out her heart. He held her soft, fragrant body in his arms, feeling incredibly happy.

Lu Cheng's lips involuntarily curled up. Seeing that he was asleep, Zhong Weiguo did not stay in the ward any longer. He went out and found the nurse in charge of looking after Lu Cheng, instructing her to prepare some nutritious and easily digestible food for Lu Cheng.

The nurse readily agreed, and then subtly inquired whether Lu Cheng was married.

After Zhong Weiguo left, the nurse turned to her two colleagues and whispered:
"See? I told you he was married, but you didn't believe me."

"But he's been lying there for two days and two nights, and none of his family members have shown up."

"Who knows? But this Battalion Commander Lu is really outstanding. He became a battalion commander at such a young age, and I heard he has made another meritorious contribution. I don't know what kind of blessing it is to be able to marry a man like him in this lifetime."

"Of course, it's a blessing you can't have."

Looking at the female soldier standing in front of her, Wei Huihui hesitated, "Who are you?"

Qiao Wenjing glanced at the nurses, then took out her military ID and showed it to Wei Huihui and the others: "Take me to Battalion Commander Lu's ward."

As Wei Huihui led Qiao Wenjing to Lu Cheng's ward, she curiously observed her.

"Comrade Qiao, what is your relationship with Battalion Commander Lu?"

"This is not your business."

Having been rebuffed, Wei Huihui dared not ask any more questions.

After taking Qiao Wenjing to her ward, I returned to the nurses' station and gossiped with my colleagues about Qiao Wenjing's identity.

"Do you think this Comrade Qiao might be a relative of Battalion Commander Lu?"

"Most likely. Didn't you see the way she looked at us? Like she was afraid we'd do something to Battalion Commander Lu."

Qiao Wenjing entered the ward and saw that Lu Cheng was asleep. She quietly closed the ward door, put the canned fruit and nutritional supplements on the cabinet, and then carefully observed Lu Cheng's injuries.

Seeing that he was healthy and had all four limbs intact, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Noticing Lu Cheng's stubble and remembering that he was usually a person who paid attention to personal hygiene, Qiao Wenjing borrowed a razor from a nurse.

She had just applied soap bubbles to Lu Cheng's chin when the ward door was pushed open from the outside.

"Brother-in-law..."

Jiang Peng was stunned when he saw Qiao Wenjing in the ward, and then he exploded.

"Who are you?"

Seeing Jiang Moli behind Jiang Peng, Qiao Wenjing also felt a little flustered.

But then she thought about it again. She was just there to take care of Lu Cheng and repay his kindness, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.

Thinking it over, he explained to Jiang Moli, "I'm here to take care of Battalion Commander Lu, don't misunderstand."

"Do I need you to take care of me? Do you think my sister is dead?"

Hearing Jiang Peng's angry shout, Qiao Wenjing finally realized his identity.

Jiang Moli gestured for Jiang Peng to calm down and walked to the bedside.

Although the man's face showed signs of exhaustion and weakness, his breathing was steady.

Because he hadn't groomed himself for a long time, the beard on his chin and sideburns had grown to almost half an inch long, making him look very unkempt.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, Lu Cheng on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes.

Upon seeing Jiang Moli, he didn't speak, but just kept blinking.

He must be dreaming, otherwise how could he see his wife?
A wife only exists in dreams.

Thinking about it, he closed his eyes again.

But when he closed his eyes, he realized he couldn't see his wife anymore, so he quickly opened them again.

Jiang Peng: "Brother-in-law, are you feeling better? Look, my sister came all the way here to take care of you."

Lu Cheng's chaotic mind gradually cleared, and joy shone in his eyes: "Jasmine? It really is you! How did you get here!?"

Jiang Moli smiled enigmatically, "Then shall I leave?"
