Mr. Lu could not stand Mrs. Lu being so clingy and coquettish.
“Baby, you don’t know how poor the conditions in the family courtyard are. It’s winter, and it’s outdoors. Grandpa and his wife are living comfortably there!” He was genuinely thinking of her, afraid that his precious wife would suffer.
“As warm and comfortable home is, it’s still lonely without you,” Ye Qiao raised her head and said with her lips pressed against his. Her lips were close to his.
Her sweet words swam in his ears, her breath was in his nose, and his heart felt like there was a cat’s paw scratching it!
“No honey is as sweet as my wife, Mrs. Lu!” He almost gritted his teeth and wrapped his arms around her waist.. He wanted to pull her into his arms, but he was afraid that he would hurt the two little ones.
After the kiss, she insisted on going with him. She did not care about his objection and went to pack her clothes.
Mrs. Lu, who was pregnant, maintained a happy mood. As a husband and now-father, Lu Beixiao naturally had to comply with her.

When she heard that Ye Qiao was going to live in the family hospital in the military base camp, Mrs. Du, who had rushed over to give her daughter-in-law soup, was the first to object. “Qiaoqiao, why do you want to live with the soldiers? If you feel that the courtyard is depressing, move in with Mom!”
“Mom, this was Brother Xiao’s idea!” Ye Qiao drank the soup and quickly threw the blame to her man.
When Madam Du heard that it was her son’s idea, she could not believe it. In an instant, she understood that her shrewd daughter-in-law was throwing the blame! Her son would never be willing to let her daughter-in-law suffer!
“Lu Beixiao! What’s wrong with you? Don’t you know how poor the military conditions are? How could you bear to let Qiaoqiao suffer? She’s even pregnant with twins! She just got pregnant!” Madam Du scolded.
Hearing her mother-in-law’s words, Ye Qiao cried out in her heart. She was afraid that Lu Beixiao would not let her go.
“Mom, this parenting book says that during pregnancy, the company of the husband will help the pregnant woman’s physical and mental health. It will also help with prenatal education! Don’t worry, I won’t let my wife suffer,” Lu Beixiao said with a clear head.
‘Yes! My dear husband!’
Ye Qiao was secretly happy in her heart!
What else could Mrs. Du say? She went to the side to make a phone call and asked someone to tidy up the house in the family courtyard.

Soon, Ye Qiao was already sitting in the backseat of the car. She was now a pregnant woman, and Lu Beixiao did not let her sit in the passenger seat. It was safer in the back seat, and he even helped her put on the seatbelt.
Thinking of seeing him more often in the future, Ye Qiao felt very happy.
While eating nuts and humming a song, she watched his back.
“Eh?” Unintentionally, she saw a strand of hair on the seat next to her. She picked it up and said, “Brother Xiao, what a long strand of hair…”
Mrs. Lu said sourly.
Mr. Lu, who was driving seriously, smiled. It was probably Instructor Xia’s. She was not even twenty-five years old, but she had become an instructor. She was very skilled.
“It’s a woman’s hair!” He laughed and raised his voice.
“Oh, this isn’t your car. This car has carried another woman before?” Mrs. Lu was very observant and said.
Lu Beixiao, who usually drove steadily and quickly, was driving very slowly today. It was for the safety of his national treasure.
Hearing her words, the corners of his mouth curled up lovingly. “Before I went home, Lao Cai asked me to pick up this woman at the airport!” Lu Beixiao confessed. He did not dare to let his little jealous wife have any doubts.
Ye Qiao looked as if she suddenly understood. “Who is she?”
“She’s a female instructor from the Southwest Combat Division! I don’t know what exactly she’s here for! Don’t let your imagination run wild! I sent her halfway and let Da Sha and the others pick her up!” he explained seriously.
“I’m not letting my imagination run wild!” she raised her voice and said. “My husband loves me so much. Other women don’t deserve your attention!”
Ye Qiao was extremely confident. This confidence came from the love he had for her!
“Mrs. Lu’s consciousness is very high!” As he drove, he spoke while raising his right hand to give her a thumbs-up.
Ye Qiao could not help but feel ashamed. She had missed him for a lifetime, which was why she was this conscious!

The Special Forces’ family courtyard was still quite a distance away from being extremely large. It had just been built two years ago, and it did not take up a large area. It was surrounded by a large wall, six rows of two-story small buildings, one row of six houses, and a single house.
Lu Beixiao had applied for a house a long time ago, but it had never been occupied. However, it was fully furnished. Mrs. Du had asked someone to clean it up, and it was clean.
“How is it bad? There’s even a TV and Internet!” Ye Qiao had just arrived in the living room and chirped happily.
The coffee table, sofa, TV, and carpet were a little small, but they had everything they wanted!
“Sure! It’s good that you don’t mind!” As he said that, he raised his wrist to look at his watch.
“Brother Xiao, if you have something to do, then go do it! You don’t have to worry about me, and you don’t have to come back every day. If I’m closer to you, I’ll feel at ease!” Ye Qiao ran to him, raised her head to look at him, and cooed very considerately. As she said that, she kissed his lips and said, “Mwah!”
This ‘Mwah’ reminded him of when they first started dating. He smiled and kissed her on the cheek as well. “I’ll try my best to come back when I can! You stay here obediently and don’t run around! It’s in the middle of nowhere and there’s nothing fun to do. Later, I’ll send my assistant to help you clean up. Don’t move around, especially when you can’t raise your hands high to carry things, understand?”
“Our father-to-be knows this too?” He also knew that pregnant women could not raise their hands high!
“Baby, do you think what I said to Mrs. Du was just a lie? I borrowed a few pregnancy books from the library, and I’m occasionally flipping through them!” he said in a deep voice.
“You said that you wouldn’t like our child, but in fact, you’re even more qualified than I am! You’re such a liar!” Ye Qiao was touched.
In her previous life, he cared about Lu Xiaogun so much…
Lu Beixiao glared at her and said, “Don’t be sad. They’re going to have a little brother or sister!” He was afraid that she would be sad again, so he comforted her.
“A little brother!”
“Yes, yes, yes! Our son!” he quickly said, rubbing the back of her head with his big hand.

“Lu Xiaogun, what do you think your brother or sister should be called? You decide. Should I call them Lu Xiaodan? Or Lu Xiaolai?” After dinner, Ye Qiao strolled around the small courtyard and asked seriously.
(Lu Xiaogang rolled his eyes. “It’s so scary being uneducated! My sister cried out in panic. She doesn’t want to be called Lu Xiaodan or Lu Xiaolai!)
“I knew it. You must be scolding me for being uneducated!” Ye Qiao muttered to herself again. “In my mother’s hometown, the more casual a child’s nickname is, the better it is. Many children are called Goudan, Gouzi, and even Goushi! Children who are named after cats and dogs are easy to raise!”
(Lu Xiaogun: they’re uneducated! Sister or Brother, I brought you here with me to do whatever you want, but I don’t even have a good name!)
