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

Chapter 366 Extra Chapter 27: Confession
That evening, after discussing the departure arrangements with An Hui for the next morning, Lu Cheng returned to his room.

It was almost 11 o'clock. Usually, Jiang Moli would be asleep by now, but today she was still sitting on the headboard reading a book.

He walked over with a smile: "Were you waiting for me?"

Jiang Moli looked up at him for a moment, then beckoned him, saying, "Sit down, I have something to tell you."

Lu Cheng obediently sat down on the edge of the bed, took her hand and held it in his, his eyes filled with reluctance.

"Perfect timing, I also have something I want to tell you."

Jiang Moli nodded in agreement, "You go first."

Lu Cheng raised his other hand and gently stroked her round belly, his tone apologetic, "I can't go back with you this time, but I'll come back to be with you when you're about to give birth, okay?"

Jiang Moli said, "Actually, I've decided to go home. The medical facilities there are very advanced and can guarantee the safety of me and my child."

Lu Cheng took her hand and kissed it, then whispered, "I'll take you, Mom, and Aunt to the train station first thing tomorrow morning."

"When I say 'go home,' I don't mean 'go back to Chengdu.'"

Jiang Moli withdrew her hand, took out a letter from under her pillow, and handed it to Lu Cheng.

It was a farewell letter she wrote when she last planned to leave this place. The letter detailed the reasons why she came here, but she didn't end up leaving, so she put the letter away.

She had seen the Lu family's attentive care for her and their high hopes for their three children during this time.

Even though her determination to leave never changed, she couldn't bear to disappear with her three children without giving an explanation.

Admittedly, revealing her origins would be a dangerous thing for her.

But through this year of marriage, she and Lu Cheng have built trust.

She was confident that even if the man knew her background, he wouldn't do anything to hurt her.

……

Lu Cheng quickly finished reading the letter, his feelings were very complicated.

The contents of the letter were simple and clear, yet also bizarre.

The daughter-in-law claimed to be from another time and space, which was just as absurd as Lu Dezhao claiming to be the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang.

“Lu Cheng, as you can see, I am not from this world. Once I have finished what I need to do, I will return to the world I originally came from, and the children in my womb will go back with me.”

“This is very unfair to you, after all, you are their father. I have no right to deprive you of the care and companionship of your children, but I have my own considerations. It is no exaggeration to say that the medical level and technology in my world are more than ten times better than here. Going back to give birth would ensure the safety of my life and the safety of my children.”

“Going back is my decision, and you can decide whether or not you want to go back with me.”

Lu Cheng nodded after listening, "Okay, I'll go back with you."

His decisiveness surprised Jiang Moli.

He quickly realized that Lu Cheng probably didn't believe the contents of the letter, but only took it as a test or a joke from her.

She wasn't in a hurry to prove it, and at the moment she couldn't prove the truth of the matter.

She continued, "You have two months to think it over. If you come back with me, you'll never be able to come back. It's like abandoning everything here, including your parents and family."

Lu Cheng bent down, pressing his ear against her stomach to get closer to the children, and replied to Jiang Moli's words:
"Compared to me being separated from my wife and children, my parents should want us to be happy and fulfilled. The greatest filial piety we can show them is to have our family of five living well."

Jiang Moli found these words very agreeable, and her slender white fingers gently disappeared into the man's coarse, short hair.

She said, "You haven't even warmed up your position as head of the regiment yet, and you're already willing to give it up like this?"

"Don't even mention the regimental commander, even the division commander and army commander are not as important as you and the child."

Jiang Moli couldn't help but tease him for his impulsive words: "You Lu family members really are all born with a love-struck mind."

Lu Cheng lifted his head from her stomach. "What do you mean, 'love-struck'?"

"My mind is full of love and romance, and all my thoughts and energy are focused on the other person, while I forget everything about myself."

Lu Cheng wasn't angry after hearing this; on the contrary, he was quite happy.

“You’re right, you and the child are the most important and precious things to me.” After saying that, he placed his hands on Jiang Moli’s calves and gently massaged the muscles in her calves.

The pressure from the uterus caused Jiang Moli's legs to swell, and she would often wake up in the middle of the night due to cramps.

Lu Cheng would massage her for a while every night before bed to relieve swelling and cramps, and also to promote blood circulation, which would help her sleep better.

The man's fingertips were rough yet warm, and his pressure was just right. Jiang Moli fell asleep without realizing it.

Seeing that she was asleep, Lu Cheng gently laid her body flat on the bed, unfolded the quilt to cover her, and then stared at her face, lost in thought.

His upbringing and understanding from childhood made him not believe in the existence of another world, and he was very worried that Jiang Moli's mental problems were caused by her pregnancy.

……

The next morning, Lu Cheng loaded all the packed luggage into the car.

Many family members gathered at the entrance of the Lu family home to see Jiang Moli off.

Having spent several months together, they had developed some feelings for each other. The thought that this departure would mean never seeing each other again filled Jiang Moli with sadness.

There is no train service from Xili City yet; you have to go through Kuncheng to catch a train.

After a long day of travel, we arrived safely in Kunming around 6 p.m.

Lu Cheng bought a train ticket for the next day, rested at the guesthouse for one night, and went to the train station early the next morning.

After putting away his luggage, Lu Cheng squatted down in front of Jiang Moli and said reluctantly, "Take good care of yourself and the child when you get back. I'll take leave as soon as possible to come back and see you."

Jiang Moli's gaze traced the man's handsome and resolute face, and a feeling of reluctance welled up in her heart.

She grasped the man's large, burning hand and subtly reminded him, "At most two months. I can only wait until then. You must come back before then."

Lu Cheng agreed.

He didn't want to offend Jiang Moli at the time of parting, letting her leave with a heavy heart, but deep down he didn't take Jiang Moli's words about leaving this world seriously.

After Lu Cheng got out of the car, An Hui asked Jiang Moli curiously, "What were you and Lao San talking about just now, about two months?"

Jiang Moli said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I told him to come back to be with me soon, or I'll leave him."

An Hui assumed she was just being temperamental and comforted her, saying, "Your due date is at the end of October, and the third child will be back in early October, so it'll be in time."

Jiang Moli smiled faintly and remained silent.

……

Amidst the roar of the wheels, Jiang Moli was awakened by the heat.

When she opened her eyes, she saw An Hui and Ma Hongmei sitting at the head and foot of her bed, respectively.

An Hui, resting her head on her hand, was dozing off at the head of the bed, while Ma Hongmei, leaning against the carriage wall at the foot of the bed, was fast asleep.

She woke them up, saying, "Mom, Aunt, why don't you lie down on the bed and rest for a while?"

"Oh dear, you've fallen asleep without me noticing. I'll fan you up so you can sleep a little longer."

As Ma Hongmei spoke, she continued to fan Jiang Moli.

It was summer, and the train carriage was crowded, making it feel like a sauna. Only Ma Hongmei fanned Jiang Moli the whole way to create some coolness.

When Jiang Moli said she didn't want to sleep anymore, An Hui helped her up, turned on the water bottle to give her some water, and then untied the net bag to find her something to eat.

Faced with the meticulous care that An Hui and Ma Hongmei provided, Jiang Moli felt that they were quite awful.

She not only wanted to take the three children away, but also wanted to abduct the other person's son.

Call her selfish or heartless, she simply believes that people should prioritize their own responsibility and consider their own interests and feelings first. As for the feelings and interests of others, they will fight for them themselves.

The plane crash made her realize one thing even more clearly: people don't die when they get old, they can die at any time.

So, within her means, she wants to love herself well and put her own feelings first.
