Leng Yunting was truly worried that Liu Jingyi would not be able to take good care of herself.
The meal she made last time, although it looked, smelled, and tasted perfect, still resulted in him burning his hand.
Of course, the fact that she could prepare such a feast was clearly intentional, but he still couldn't help but worry about her.
The next day, Leng Yunting requested leave.
Early in the morning, before Liu Jingyi woke up, he went out to buy groceries.
Items like chicken and meat, even with ration coupons, were not guaranteed to be available.
But who could stop Leng Yunting from being young and promising? Moreover, even the leaders living in the cadre compound treated him with courtesy.
Everyone who observed this understood that Leng Yunting's status was far from simple.
Therefore, Leng Yunting had special privileges, and these chickens and meats were reserved for him almost every day, especially after his Marriage with Liu Jingyi.
Leng Yunting arranged for someone to help slaughter and chop the chicken and meat, and then he went to buy things like red dates and longans that replenish Qi and blood.
After Leng Yunting returned Home, he first boiled a pot of Millet Porridge with red dates, then washed the ribs clean and started stewing the soup.
Liu Jingyi was awakened by the delicious aroma coming from the Kitchen.
She changed her clothes and followed the scent to the Kitchen, unexpectedly finding Leng Yunting at Home.
"On leave," Leng Yunting explained.
Liu Jingyi didn't pay too much attention; after all, this man had just returned from a Mission, so taking leave now was normal. She nodded and focused her gaze on the stove, "What did you make?"
Leng Yunting saw her swallow in anticipation and couldn't help but smile, "Ribs."
He stopped her hand, which was reaching to lift the lid, pulled her away from the Kitchen, "It’s not ready yet? I made you Millet Porridge and brought Meat Buns; have something to tide you over first."
"Oh."
After eating a small bowl of porridge and two Buns, Liu Jingyi was still craving the ribs, frequently craning her Neck to look into the Kitchen.
"Leng Yunting, are the ribs ready yet?"
Liu Jingyi asked him pitifully from time to time.
"It will take another hour!"
Leng Yunting pinched her cheek and said, then asked again, "Does your stomach still hurt today?"
Liu Jingyi shook her head, then nodded again.
"So, does it hurt or not?" Leng Yunting poked her forehead.
"It doesn't hurt as much anymore." Every time her period came, Liu Jingyi only experienced severe pain on the first day; it wasn't as painful afterward.
Just as she was about to reach out to move Leng Yunting's hand away, she heard intermittent sounds from outside the Compound gate, piquing her curiosity.
Never mind that the Original Body was usually a gossip-loving person; Liu Jingyi herself was the same.
Naturally, she couldn't hold back and tried to move outside, but before her feet could move, Leng Yunting pulled her back.
"Where are you going?"
Liu Jingyi looked at him innocently, "There are sounds outside; I'm going to check."
Leng Yunting gave her a sidelong glance, "What? When you were groaning last night, you didn't seem this energetic. How is it that you're better after just one night?"
Liu Jingyi couldn't fail to recognize that the man before her was teasing her.
Even so, Liu Jingyi's gossipy heart couldn't be controlled. She ignored him and turned to open the door to go out.
It was indeed very Lively outside. The Family Members of the Compound were gathered together, chattering, right outside Meng Yunfan's door.
"Why are they getting a divorce already?"
"Isn't that right?"
"Could it be because of Liu Jingyi that Little Lu...?"
"Who can say for sure? I wonder if Little Leng knows about this?"
Sister Chen, listening to everyone, reminded them, "Don't speak carelessly. Spreading baseless rumors won't be easily overlooked by the higher-ups."
As soon as Sister Chen spoke, everyone fell silent.
Li Chunhua, however, was unconcerned and said, "If they can do the deed, why can't people talk about it?"
"Exactly, exactly. Little Lu is usually such a good person."
As soon as the words fell, they turned and saw Liu Jingyi standing behind them.
The Young girl stood in the sunlight, her skin fair, her Eyes shifting, truly delicate and charming.
At first, everyone thought that Meng Yunfan divorcing Little Lu had nothing to do with Liu Jingyi?
But once this person appeared, they felt it was understandable if it was because of her?
After all, Meng Yunfan and Liu Jingyi were Childhood Sweethearts.
Then, looking at the Man who followed Liu Jingyi out, his gaze never left the Woman, as if external matters had nothing to do with him.
"Commander Leng is Home?" Li Chunhua, sharp-eyed, spotted Leng Yunting behind Liu Jingyi and raised her voice considerably.
Leng Yunting acted as if he hadn't heard, only whispering something in Liu Jingyi's Ear before he pulled her back into the room.
Who exactly spread this rumor? The couple was clearly deeply in love.
It was completely different from what was being spread outside.
Furthermore, anyone could see that Leng Yunting was superior to Meng Yunfan, and Liu Jingyi wasn't foolish.
The houses in the Compound were uniformly allocated, so the soundproofing was naturally not that good. Even after entering the room, they could still hear Liu Jingyi's soft voice.
Never mind the men; even they, the older women, felt their bones turn soft hearing it.
Anyone with Eyes could see how much Leng Yunting doted on Liu Jingyi, and the way Liu Jingyi clung to Leng Yunting didn't resemble the rumors at all.
The relationship between the young Husband and wife was very strong; outsiders simply couldn't interfere.
Meng Yunfan saw Liu Jingyi from afar and always felt she was different from before. Perhaps he had truly hurt her this time. He then shook his head and faced the current predicament.
Meanwhile, Liu Jingyi was carried back by Leng Yunting. She hadn't even figured out the details yet.
It was just gossip concerning Meng Yunfan, so Liu Jingyi didn't dare complain.
However, she still muttered softly, "I haven't even heard why they are divorcing yet?"
Leng Yunting glanced at her and said, "What? Haven't you learned your lesson from that night? Besides, shouldn't you be avoiding the cold at a time like this? I think your stomach pain wasn't bad enough?"
Liu Jingyi was silenced by Leng Yunting's retort.
She knew she couldn't win an argument with him, and considering that night, Liu Jingyi felt it was better not to provoke the man before her, to avoid him getting jealous again. She walked over and gently held Leng Yunting's hand.
She said in a voice that couldn't be any sweeter, "How could that be? And after you massaged my stomach last night, I really felt the pain go away!"
Leng Yunting wasn't foolish; he clearly knew this was an attempt to appease him and stop him from being angry.
Seeing his expressionless face, Liu Jingyi stood on her tiptoes and gave him a Kiss, "Husband, you are the best!"
Leng Yunting suddenly felt that Liu Jingyi was only shy when they were in bed.
At all other times, especially during the day, she was truly bold—so bold that he Could Not cope.
She was constantly giving Kissy kisses, hugs, and being lifted high.
