After emptying her family's fortune, the pampered young lady went to join the army while heavil

Chapter 73 My husband is back, everything will be alright.
Qiao Nian, who hadn't planned to eat, also let out a satisfied burp after Lu Xiao finished eating...

This makes people feel very sad.

Qiao Nian touched her protruding belly and couldn't help but sigh, "I really can't watch others eat."

Watching others eat makes me want to eat too.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lu Xiao cleaned up the dishes and helped his wife back to their room.

With Lu Xiao back, Nian Yunci no longer needed to come and help her daughter get up at night.

The couple closed the door to go to sleep, and Qiao Nian and her husband also closed the door to go to sleep.

Lu Xiao first helped his wife onto the kang (a heated brick bed), then he climbed onto the kang himself and massaged her legs.

"You should go to sleep, look at the bruises under your eyes."

Qiao Nian moved her legs, stopping him from massaging her and telling him to go to sleep.

"Pinching Niannian helps her sleep better."

Lu Xiao persisted.

Qiao Nian glared at him. "What are you doing? I said I don't need it, so I don't need it. Go to sleep first, and we'll talk about it after you've had a good sleep."

He felt sorry for her, and she felt sorry for him too.

The man looked like he hadn't slept well in a long time, and she couldn't bear to see him stay up so late.

Lu Xiao knew his wife cared about him, so he chuckled and forcibly massaged her legs.

Then he turned off the lights and went to sleep.

This prompted Qiao Nian to pinch his waist several times.

"Are you trying to go against me? Are you made of iron? How annoying."

"Don't pinch me, it hurts my hand."

Lu Xiao took his wife's hand and kissed it.

He took her hand in his, completely satisfied, and placed it on his chest.

Qiao Nian felt a pang of tenderness and leaned her head against his shoulder. "Were you hurt this time?"

Because of her husband's unusual profession, she could not ask for specific details.

The only question we can ask him is whether he is injured.

"I am fine."

Lu Xiao replied softly, "The mission was completed very well. Apart from one comrade who had a scrape on his arm, everyone else was fine."

"That's good."

Qiao Nian had a lot to say to her husband, but when he actually came back, she didn't want to say anything at all.

It's enough that he's by my side.

As for other worries, they all vanished with his return.

Perhaps because she felt relieved, Qiao Nian slept exceptionally well that night, and didn't even get up in the middle of the night.

When Qiao Nian opened her eyes at dawn the next day, she was still somewhat incredulous.

The man beside me was fast asleep; his face was thinner, and his features looked sharper.

When he was asleep, his eyes were gently closed, and although his expression was cold, his brows were not furrowed.

Qiao Nian raised her hand, wanting to stroke his eyebrows and eyes, but worried that his subconscious reaction might hurt the child.

What's wrong with Niannian?

His voice was still hoarse from sleep, and his eyes, which he slowly opened, were bloodshot.

But when he looked at her, his eyes were full of tenderness.

"fine."

Qiao Nian's cheeks flushed slightly. "When did you wake up? You can sleep in a little longer today since you don't have to go to work."

"Ah."

"I woke up when Niannian woke up."

The man confessed truthfully.

Qiao Nian said, "So did I wake you up? I'll get up, you can go back to sleep."

As she spoke, she made a move to get up.

Lu Xiao held her hand, "Wife, sleep with me a little longer?"

"No."

Qiao Nian felt a little embarrassed.

She didn't get up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night last night, which has made her really want to go now.

I can't sleep with Lu Xiao anymore.

If I sleep any longer, I'll be embarrassed.

Lu Xiao noticed her embarrassment, smiled, kissed her on the lips, and then sat up abruptly.

"Hey, why aren't you sleeping?"

I helped Niannian to the toilet.

The man answered in a low voice, a hint of amusement in it. Qiao Nian…

He actually knew all of this.

This made Qiao Nian very embarrassed.

Even if they've been married for a long time, she still feels embarrassed if people find out she's in a particularly urgent situation.

Especially when she met Lu Xiao's smiling eyes, she hummed and hawed, shamelessly pretending not to see them.

First, I went to solve the biggest problems in my life.

After leaving the restroom, Qiao Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling refreshed and relaxed.

Lu Xiao asked her if she wanted to go back to her room to sleep.
Qiao Nian shook her head.

"hungry."

It seems like Mom isn't home.

Dad went to work, but I don't know where Mom went.

"Maybe Mom is thinking about the land back home, so she went to the fields."

Lu Xiao explained.

When he said that, Qiao Nianxiang realized it was indeed true.

Lu Xiao went on a mission after planting the crops, and his mother hasn't had a chance to visit the fields. She must be very worried.

Now that Lu Xiao is back, she has someone to take care of her, so naturally her mother will go check on her food supplies.

"Actually, I still have a lot of food."

Qiao Nian lowered her voice and spoke softly to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao squeezed her hand. "Mom doesn't have a job, but she grows some land, so there's something to look forward to."

“I’m worried that after the baby is born, she will have to worry about the baby and the fields, and in the end, it will be tiring for Dad and you.”

Lu Xiao has been away from home for the past two weeks. Every morning before going to school, his father goes to the fields to check on the seedlings, just in case they are missing or there are too few.

Although her father said he wasn't tired, Qiao Nian still felt sorry for him.

"It's alright, it's not much land, we'll finish the work in no time."

Lu Xiao didn't feel tired.

On the contrary, as long as his wife is by his side, he has inexhaustible energy.

Before going to work, Qiao Guowen cooked breakfast.

After Qiao Nian and the others got up and washed up, they could eat right away.

After breakfast, Lu Xiao didn't want to rest on the kang (heated brick bed), but instead wanted to accompany Qiao Nian to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.

When Lin Zhen saw Lu Xiao accompanying Qiao Nian, she suddenly realized, "So Comrade Qiao is Lu Xiao's lover?"

"No wonder she's so good-looking."

Lin Zhen is the wife of Lu Xiao's boss.

She knew that Lu Xiao had been married for many years, but because Lu Xiao had never brought Qiao Nian to the family compound before, Lin Zhen did not know that Lu Xiao's wife was Qiao Nian.

She only realized it when she saw the person today.

I'd been thinking for a while that such a beautiful family member had come to the residential compound; I wondered whose spouse she was.

Now that I see Lu Xiao, everything becomes clear.

A man as outstanding as Lu Xiao truly deserves a woman as outstanding as Qiao Nian.

Lu Xiao called her "sister-in-law".

He turned around and introduced Lin Zhen's identity to Qiao Nian.

Knowing that she was the wife of his boss, Qiao Nian quickly and respectfully addressed her as "sister-in-law."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

"Please sit down. You must be feeling very uncomfortable with your big belly. Please sit down and let's talk."

Lin Zhen was already a very dedicated doctor, and now that she knows Qiao Nian is Lu Xiao's wife, she has become even more dedicated.

Like a patriarch, he chatted with Qiao Nian about the changes in her belly over the past two weeks.

Qiao Nian told the truth.

After learning that her legs would swell at night and that she had difficulty falling asleep, Lin Zhen told her to try to relax.

Don't be too tense.

After all, it's late pregnancy, and the increased levels of various hormones can easily affect sleep.

At this time, you can't take any medicine; you can only keep a good mood.

Qiao Nian nodded, indicating that she had made a mental note of it.

After the couple returned from the obstetrics and gynecology department, Lu Xiao greeted Li Ruihua before helping his wife slowly walk towards the family compound.

"You're Qiao Nian?"

A woman's voice came from not far away. Lu Xiao helped Qiao Nian stop and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

Shen Yuqing stood under a tree not far away, staring intently at Qiao Nian.
