Chapter 2001: Keep Them For Now

Jiang Yao glanced at Lu Xingzhi, who looked like he harbored ill intentions. She turned around and pretended that she did not see him. She took a few pieces of lingerie for pregnant women that she would need and pushed Lu Xingzhi away.

Lu Xingzhi was a little disappointed when he heard Jiang Yao say that she wanted to go home after that. “Going home already? Do you need anything else? Shoes? Socks? Pants? Do you have everything?”

“Yes, I have everything I need.” Jiang Yao nodded. If she said that she lacked something, Lu Xingzhi would buy the entire store for her.

He was not a thrifty man.

Lu Xingzhi was not a romantic person, but he was on a mission. They did not go home immediately after they were done with their shopping. Instead, he brought Jiang Yao to a very stylish restaurant in Luo City.

Jiang Yao looked around the restaurant. The decor was quite retro, and the place looked elegant. There was a small stage in the middle of the restaurant. Two girls in white dresses were playing the violin on the stage.

The two girls closed their eyes as though they were having fun, no matter how many people were listening.

“What makes you want to dine in a restaurant like this?”

Jiang Yao thought it was unusual. Lu Xingzhi was not known for his classy taste.

She and Lu Xingzhi only ate outside if they were not at home. Lu Xingzhi rarely took her to a restaurant.

Lu Xingzhi preferred to cook for her, especially when she was working with the army.

“Zhou Junmin suggested that these romantic and trendy eateries should appeal

to women.”

Lu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows. He knew that Jiang Yao would like the restaurant. However, he rarely had the time to bring her to enjoy that.

“Take it as my compensation for not spending the past few days with you,” Lu Xingzhi said.

He had specifically asked Zhou Junmin for advice before deciding what to do.

...

Jiang Yao must have been worried and afraid when she could not get to him for the past few days. It had rained so heavily, and she had rushed back to the army base. When she got there, she found him with a fever, and she had to care for him the entire night.

“Compensation?”

Jiang Yao could not keep up with Lu Xingzhi’s train of thought.

Was he afraid that she was angry with him?

“You said you would agree to one of my requests each time we are separated. Since I didn’t get to spend much time with you, I’ll just have to make it up to you. Lu Xingzhi began to count with his fingers. “The last time you went to Nanjiang City, I was very reluctant to part with you. The last time you went abroad, I was also very reluctant about that. How many requests do you think you have to agree to before you can pay off your debt?” So, that was the catch!

How did that man remember something from so long ago?

“Do you have any new requests?”

Jiang Yao touched the tip of her nose.

“Not yet. I’ll keep them for now. We’ll talk about it after you give birth.” Lu Xingzhi chuckled and picked up some food for Jiang Yao. “Eat more. Think about what you want for supper.”

Jiang Yao did not believe that Lu Xingzhi did not have any request for her.

After all the trouble he had gone through, he must have had a reason or request for that. Perhaps he did not want to tell her then and preferred to save it for later.

How could she not know her husband?

Xiao Ding’s family arrived in Luo City on the third day after the rain stopped. Lu Xingzhi was not free to deal with that. So, Jiang Yao went to pick up Ding Xiaomei and her family, along with Big Ke and Ah Lu..
