“There’s nothing real or fake about it, it’s not a big deal.”
“The Lunar New Year is coming up soon, you must be busy with matters on your end, better not to go.” Li Chuhan said:
“When you’re free, come over to my place, I’ll cook for you.”
“Your cooking is not as delicious as mine, I wouldn’t go for that.” Lin Yi said:
“If it’s inconvenient for you to take leave, I’ll talk to Guofeng Miao.”
“But there are so many patients during the night shift, and my department can’t do without me, there’s a lot waiting for me.”
“Stop dithering, just buy the ticket; otherwise, I won’t bother with you anymore.”
“I got it, don’t be angry, okay?” Li Chuhan said softly.
“I’m hanging up now, don’t forget to eat lunch.”
“Mhm, Xin Xin has gone to buy it, make sure to eat on time when you’re outside, and drink less alcohol.”
“Got it.”
After hanging up with Li Chuhan, the taxi arrived at Liang Ruoxu’s place.
He knocked on the door and muttered to himself when there was no response.
“Could it be that no one’s home?”
Lin Yi had not notified Liang Ruoxu in advance of his arrival in Yanjing, wanting to surprise her.
Unexpectedly, there was nobody home.
Lin Yi took out his phone and called Shen Shuyi.
“Aunt Shen, is Mi Li not home?”
“Hm? You’re in Yanjing? Have you dealt with your business in Jinyang?”
“I just finished up and came over.”
“She must have sneaked out, I’ll give her a call.”
“Don’t, that’ll ruin the surprise.”
Shen Shuyi laughed, knowing these young people like their surprises, and said:
“She’s probably at her grandfather’s place, go check it out, and if you still can’t find her, give me a call.”
“Alright.”
After agreeing, Lin Yi hung up and took a taxi to Liang Xianghe’s place.
In a certain military compound, Liang Ruoxu stood outside the training field, wearing a black down jacket and a white hat, wrapping herself tightly. However, from behind, her slender figure and delicate legs were still noticeable.
Compared to a typical family, the Liang family didn’t seem to overreact to pregnancy.
Not like Ji Qingyan’s parents who acted as if they wanted to protect her under a cover.
At the moment, there were several people around Liang Ruoxu’s age, both men and women.
They all grew up with her, but over the years they’ve grown up and got busy with their stuff, only getting to meet during the New Year.
So every New Year’s, they would gather to catch up and reminisce about their childhood.
“Sis, it’s a bit chilly outside, don’t stay out here, you’re our top priority now.”
The speaker was Chen Xi, who also has a very good relationship with Lin Yi, but it had been a long time since they’d seen each other.
“Don’t mention pregnancy, my mom makes me stay home every day, doesn’t let me go anywhere, and I vomit whatever I eat, I’m about to go crazy.”
“What’s there to fret about, you’re going to be a mom, it’s a joyous occasion, no matter how hard it is, it’s worth it.”
“Wait until you are pregnant, then you’ll know how painful it is.” Liang Ruoxu retorted:
“By the way, is everything ready? Once Da Long and the others finish training, we’ll go eat, it’s been so long since I’ve had a good meal.”
“It’s all been taken care of.” Chen Xi said: “But are you sure it’s okay? If my brother-in-law finds out, won’t he beat me up?”
“He’s busy with work in Jinyang, he doesn’t have time to come to Yanjing,” said Liang Ruoxu.
“Also, get some pickled vegetables and frozen tofu. I’ve been wanting to eat those for a long time. The ones in Zhong Hai aren’t authentic at all.”
“If that’s what you’re saying, then I’m not worried anymore,” Chen Xi said with a big smile.
About ten or so minutes later, the training on the field ended, and a bald, muscular man ran towards them. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall and weighed at least 200 kilograms, wearing only a light top that was drenched in sweat.
The man’s name was Zhang Zhao Long, and he used to be Liang Ruoxu’s sidekick. Wherever she pointed, he would hit; they had a very good relationship.
And as he grew up, it was only natural for him to join the military, where his future was promising.
“Sis, how did I do just now? As long as it’s not more than ten, I can handle them without a problem,” Zhang Zhao Long boasted.
“You look pretty good. Keep training well, and you might even move up the ranks.”
Zhang Zhao Long chuckled, “Sis, can you give me some inside information? When is the Central Guards Brigade recruiting?”
“I’m not sure about that yet; I’ll ask around for you when the time comes.”
Liang Ruoxu was generous, after all, they were all her own people.
