Tong Qiao felt that Lu Jinshen was very stupid, but it was this stupidity that showed his noble and righteous character.
Tong Qiao took the initiative to approach Lu Jinshen. She gently wrapped her arms around his narrow waist, looked into his deep eyes and asked, "If someone pointed a gun at Xu Zihua's head at that time, would you have blocked the gun for him?"
"Yes." Lu Jinshen's answer was resolute and decisive.
"You both have a revolutionary friendship of sacrificing your lives for each other, but that opportunity happened to be given to Xu Zihua. You can remember him, but you shouldn't blame yourself. If Xu Zihua knew that he exchanged his life for yours, and you lived such a terrible life, do you think he would be happy?"
Lu Jinshen's pupils suddenly shrank, and something seemed to break out of his dead eyes.
Tong Qiao continued, "Xu Zihua's love wasn't fulfilled, so you should make up for his regret. Not only should you live a happy life, but you should also live a happy life for Xu Zihua. Only when you are twice as happy will it not be in vain that he lost his life for you."
Lu Jinshen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt as if he had been enlightened. He excitedly squeezed Tong Qiao's shoulder. "You're right, I can't let Zihua's sacrifice be in vain."
Tong Qiao frowned slightly, but there was a smile in her eyes. "Be gentle, it hurts."
Lu Jinshen let go of Tong Qiao and pulled her into his arms. The knot in his heart for many years was suddenly untied, and he suddenly felt relaxed. "Qiao 'er, don't leave me. Let's live a good life, okay?"
Tong Qiao's eyes were full of happiness. "It's not impossible for me to stay, but you have to promise me one thing."
"As long as you don't leave me, I'll promise you anything."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"What if I ask you to cut off all contact with Sheng Yufei from now on?"
Lu Jinshen was stunned. He let go of Tong Qiao and said awkwardly, "Qiao 'er …"
Tong Qiao laughed. "I'm just teasing you. I'm not an unreasonable person. However, you have to promise me that you won't meet Sheng Yufei alone in the future."
"Alright."
"Alright, take care of yourself. When you're better, we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register our marriage."
Lu Jinshen's ink-black eyes instantly lit up. He held the back of Tong Qiao's head and pressed his lips against hers for another round of intense entanglement.
…
When Tong Qiao woke up, Lu Jinshen was leaning against the bed while Ji Ji was standing beside the bed. The two of them were talking about what happened in the private room last night.
"Sister-in-law, good morning! Ji Ji was the first to notice that Tong Qiao was awake and greeted her with a smile.
Tong Qiao replied generously, "Good morning!"
Lu Jinshen turned to look at Tong Qiao, the corners of his lips raised slightly. "Did we wake you up? “
"No." As usual, Tong Qiao wanted to stretch her back. However, just as she raised her hand, she felt a sharp pain in her arm. It was so painful that she grimaced. "Ouch …"
Lu Jinshen looked anxious and pressed Tong Qiao's hand back. "Your arm is injured. Be careful."
Tong Qiao was in so much pain that her face scrunched up. "I forgot."
"Let me see if your wound has opened up." Lu Jinshen wanted to remove the gauze on Tong Qiao's arm as he spoke.
Tong Qiao avoided him. "No, you guys can continue with your discussion. I'll get up and wash up." “
Don't move. Let me take a look. "Lu Jinshen held Tong Qiao's shoulder. “
"I'm really fine." “
"Be good." “
Ji Ji understood the situation and said, "Boss, Sister-in-law, you guys continue with your work. I'll get going first."
Lu Jinshen nodded and instructed, "Go back and check on it. Report to me if there's anything." “
"Yes." Ji Ji smiled ambiguously and left the ward.
Tong Qiao no longer avoided him and allowed Lu Jinshen to check on her wound. She only smiled and said, "Isn't it inappropriate to be so concerned about me in front of your subordinates?" “
Lu Jinshen's gaze was focused on Tong Qiao's arm. "What's wrong with it?" “
"No matter what, you're still the leader of the army. Won't being too concerned about a woman ruin your heroic image?" “
Lu Jinshen stopped removing the gauze. He looked up at Tong Qiao and continued what he was doing. "I'm concerned about his family to create a positive image for him." “
"Who's your family?" “
"You." “
"How am I your family?" “
Lu Jinshen looked at Tong Qiao's wound and saw that it was fine. He wrapped the gauze around Tong Qiao's arm again.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Tong Qiao saw that Lu Jinshen was silent and asked again.
Lu Jinshen waited until the gauze was wrapped before he looked at Tong Qiao and said, "Wife." “
Tong Qiao laughed. "We haven't even gotten our marriage certificate. How did I become your wife?" “
"You even gave birth to my child. How can you not be my wife?" “
"Wife!" “
Lu Jinshen's back was injured, so he couldn't move too much. He pulled Tong Qiao's shoulder and held the back of her head, pressing her in front of him.
Tong Qiao frowned. "What are you doing?"
"Kissing you."
"I haven't brushed my teeth."
"I don't mind you."
"No." Tong Qiao covered her mouth and hurriedly got up from the bed and hid in the bathroom. When she came out after washing up, Lu Meihua was there and was asking about Lu Jinshen's injury in a worried tone.
"I'm fine. It's just a minor injury. Don't worry." Lu Jinshen's tone was steady and strong. He didn't sound like someone who was seriously injured at all.
"Okay." Lu Meihua saw Tong Qiao come out and asked her again, "Is your injury serious?"
Tong Qiao replied, "It's just a scratch. I'll be fine in a few days."
"I'm relieved that you're all fine." Lu Meihua got up. "I still have a meeting at the office. I'll get going first."
"Mom, I'll walk you out," Tong Qiao said.
Lu Meihua nodded and walked towards the door. After taking a few steps, she stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Lu Jinshen. "Reconsider what I said just now."
Lu Jinshen said, "I haven't changed my mind."
Lu Meihua looked at Lu Jinshen for a moment and turned to leave the ward.
In the corridor, Lu Meihua said as she walked, "Before I went to the ward, I asked Jinshen's attending doctor about his condition. He's seriously injured, but he still acted as if nothing had happened in front of me. He's been in the army for so many years, but he's always been like this when he's injured."
Tong Qiao walked beside Lu Meihua. "He just doesn't want you to worry."
Lu Meihua shook her head. "That's just one of the reasons. The main reason is that he's afraid that I'll make him abandon the army and go into business. Perhaps it's because of his father's influence that he's been determined to be a soldier since he was a child. He wants to contribute to the country. He's been working hard for this goal all these years. He's been serving the country righteously. I'm proud of him. "
Tong Qiao was fired up by Lu Meihua's words. From the bottom of her heart, she was proud to have a man like Lu Jinshen. Her love for him deepened. "That's how a good man should be."
"I don't want him to be so righteous." Lu Meihua said, "I've seen him get injured time and time again in order to complete missions. As a mother, I don't want him to take risks. That little bit of pride turned into selfishness. I've suggested more than once that he quit the army and help me manage the Lu Corporation, but he's never agreed. He said that he's going to serve the country for the rest of his life."
Tong Qiao asked, "So you're asking Lu Jinshen to consider leaving the army and returning to the Lu Corporation?"
