Can't Take My Eyes Off You

The Lu family and the Jiang family had substantial economic disparity. Perhaps in the eyes of others, the Jiang family had climbed up the social ladder. The Lu family might not treat the Jiang family very well.

However, Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu were clear about their relationship. They both knew that a daughter-in-law was equivalent to having an additional family member. If the daughter-in-law's family were a mess, she would be the same as well.

Mrs. Lu was satisfied with the Jiang family. Even though Mr. and Mrs. Jiang did not have much education or money, they were reasonable people. Most importantly, no one in the Jiang family was greedy. That was the rarest thing.

Mrs. Lu's family also had relatives who came to visit them from time to time. The Jiang family also did the same, but they did not ask for anything from the Lu family. On the contrary, they would bring some vegetables and fruits for them. Sometimes, they would give them some eggs. Although they were not expensive, they were rare gestures. That was the reason why gifts were meaningful.

Mrs. Lu knew that Jiang Jie's wife was also a good person. She was not least dissatisfied with her marriage.

Lu Xingzhi knew Jiang Yao's appetite, so he served her a big supper.

As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Yao sat up in bed and stared at the noodles in his hands.

"It smells so good! I can smell the beef." Jiang Yao sniffed and then sat down in front of the table.

"Be careful; it's hot." Lu Xingzhi's voice was indescribably gentle. Jiang Yao sat there with her head lowered, happily eating the noodles. He sat next to Jiang Yao, holding her waist with one hand and touching her lower abdomen with the other.

"It's itchy! Take your hand away." Jiang Yao's voice was not very clear as she ate the noodles. Instead, it sounded childish, as if she was acting coquettishly.

The corners of Lu Xingzhi's lips curled upward. He could no longer suppress the smile in his heart as he lowered his head and kissed her forehead. As he thought about it, he realized that their trip was a trip for a family of three. It turned out that he had been feeding his wife and child.

That was a very magical and wonderful feeling. They had become a family of three. The child would grow up healthy in her stomach day by day, hiding there mischievously. It was their first time becoming parents, and they were so stupid that they did not discover the child's existence at the first moment.

Lu Xingzhi thought that it was fortunate that the child was strong. The journey was challenging, but Jiang Yao did not feel the slightest discomfort.

"If it's not enough, I'll go and cook more for you." Lu Xingzhi saw that Jiang Yao had drunk all the soup, and he was worried that she had not eaten her fill. He had seen the appetite of a pregnant woman. The wife of a comrade in the army in Jin City had been pregnant. She was even more gluttonous than Jiang Yao, and her appetite was so great that even a grown man would admit defeat.

"I'm full!" Jiang Yao nodded and burped in a very undignified manner. Then, she moved into Lu Xingzhi's arms and acted coquettishly. "You're so nice!"

She was pregnant, but she looked more like a child than before.

Lu Xingzhi felt warm in his heart.

"Let's take a walk before we go back to sleep." Lu Xingzhi carefully helped Jiang Yao up, but she slapped his hands away.

"You don't have to help me. I'm only two months pregnant. I don't feel anything at all." Jiang Yao shook her head and paced back and forth in the room. Lu Xingzhi stared at her the entire time, not daring to blink, afraid that she would fall or do something if he did not watch her carefully.
