Abstinence Admiral Don't Bite, the Softer Mermaid Top Thug

Chapter 192 It's just an engagement, not a wedding.
Bo Lin noticed that when Lu Lianbai came to pick up Xiao Yuzai today, he seemed to be in a much better mood than in the previous few days.

"What good news has happened?"

Lu Lianbai didn't deny it. While tidying up Jing Xiaoyu's backpack and toys, his thin lips slightly turned up and he said, "Mm."

Bo Lin glanced at Jing Xiaoyu, who was obediently folding a small blanket at the other end of the sofa, and leaned over with a subtle feeling to ask in a low voice, "What good news?"

"The medical department has approved my application for a rest room, and I can bring my baby to the medical department starting next week."

Bo Lin narrowed his eyes: "Is this all that makes you so happy? There must be something else good happening."

Lu Lianbai paused for a second or two before speaking:
"My wife also promised me that if I could make her like me again, she would dissolve her marriage with Gu Lixi."

"..."

Bo Lin's expectant expression vanished instantly upon hearing those words. She looked at Lu Lianbai with an extremely indescribable expression, as if she was completely speechless. "You..."

In the end, all that can be said is a disappointed and frustrated remark: "Hopeless!"

She thought that everything she had experienced since arriving on the capital planet would be enough for her younger brother to see the true face of that human general.

As a result, Lu Lianbai was disheartened for only a few days before he was easily coaxed by Jing Weimian and started throwing himself at her again.

It's simply... hopeless.

Bo Lin knew that it would be futile to persuade Lu Lianbai on any of the issues concerning "Jing Weimian".

She shook her head, too lazy to say anything more.

Since they finished work at the Star Government Building early today, Platinum drove them out of the city center and asked them for directions:

When is your day off?

Lu Lianbai sat in the back seat and held the sleepy Jing Xiaoyu on his lap to coax her.

Hearing this, he opened his old communicator, glanced at the duty roster, and said in a low voice, "I'm off the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, that's perfect timing. I happen to be going back to Planet Gro that night, so I can take Xiaoyu to the amusement park for a day."

Lu Lianbai looked down at the little fish that was sleeping peacefully on his chest.

Considering that I've been working in the medical department for a while and haven't had much time to spend with his baby, it would be good to take the baby out to play during my day off.

So he nodded and agreed to his sister's request.

Back in the residential area on First Street, Lu Lianbai went into the kitchen to make baby food for small fish. Not long after, Jing Xiaoyu, who had been dozing off on the small sofa in the living room, rubbed her eyes and got up.

Wearing fluffy shark slippers, her little body wobbled as she followed her father's scent into the kitchen.

Then, with sleepy eyelids drooping, the little fish squatted under its father's long legs, its tiny hands hugging his legs, and mumbled, "Daddy, I just had a dream..."

Lu Lianbai paused in his hand, which was holding the milk pot, and reluctantly put down the utensils in his other hand. He picked up the little one with one hand and asked, "What did you dream about, baby?"

Jing Xiaoyu habitually curled up on her father's broad shoulders, hugged his neck, and whispered:
"I dreamt that my mother came to find us..."

In the past, whenever Jing Xiaoyu mentioned "Mom," Lu Lianbai's eyes would always fill with an indescribable sadness, and he had no idea how to comfort his baby.

But this time, when Lu Lianbai thought of the promise Jing Weimian had personally given him, all his worries were silently soothed.

Looking down at his baby, he said, "Baby, wait a little longer. After Daddy finishes the task Mommy gave me, Daddy will be able to bring Mommy back to see you soon."

Jing Xiaoyu's round eyes suddenly became incredibly bright. "Daddy, is this true?!"

"of course it's true."

Jing Xiaoyu was really happy. She was so excited that she swam around the fish tank more than ten times before she was willing to come out and go to sleep.

When her father held her and lulled her to sleep, it was just like when they were in the forest cabin on Whale Island. She wanted her father to tell her mother's stories, and then she would happily bury herself in her father's chest and fall asleep.

The next day, Lu Lianbai went to work at the medical department as usual.

At noon, I went to check on Jing Weichen in his ward, went through his medical reports from that day, and said:
"Young Master Jing is recovering very well and can be discharged this afternoon." Jing Weichen immediately sprang up from the bed. "Great! I can finally be discharged! I'm so numb from lying in bed for so many days!"

As Jing Weichen spoke, he couldn't wait to turn on his wristband communicator and call his sister:
"Sis! Dr. Lu said I can be discharged! ...Huh? You're not at the base today?"

Lu Lianbai, who had been standing quietly by the hospital bed adjusting the instrument readings, paused slightly when he heard Jing Weichen's last words. His slender fingers, which had been resting on the instrument buttons, were slightly apprehensive.

He looked towards Jing Weichen, who had been listening to the other end of the phone with a tightly furrowed brow for a while before his expression finally eased somewhat:

"Oh... then I'll wait another half day, sis, you have to come pick me up this afternoon!"

As soon as the call ended, before Lu Lianbai could even probe further, Jing Weichen couldn't contain himself and turned to him directly:
"Dr. Lu, my sister said she's coming to pick me up from the hospital this afternoon!"

Lu Lianbai smiled faintly: "Is that so? Around this afternoon, I also have some related matters to discuss with the general."

"Hmm, my sister didn't say. I'll call you, Dr. Lu, as soon as she arrives."

Lu Lianbai nodded demurely in agreement, "Alright, then I'll trouble Young Master Jing."

Jing Weichen waved his hand, "It's no trouble at all. Dr. Lu saved my life and has taken great care of me these past few days. I'm so grateful to Dr. Lu!"

Lu Lianbai: "This is what I should do."

Originally, Jing Weichen only superficially understood Lu Lianbai's words as something he should do as a doctor.

When Jing Weimian came to the medical department to pick him up for discharge in the afternoon, Jing Weichen realized that Dr. Lu, whom he had called over, was acting strangely.

From the moment Lu Lianbai entered the ward, he kept staring at his sister, his eyes devoid of their usual indifference and restraint, even revealing an overly direct restlessness.

Jing Weimian stood by the bed watching him pack his luggage for a while. Just then, his wristband communicator rang. Jing Weimian told him to pack up quickly, turned on the wristband, and walked out.

Lu Lianbai's gaze followed immediately, as if he wanted to go out as well.

Jing Weichen stopped her in time, "Hey, wait a minute, Dr. Lu, what are you doing going out?"

Lu Lianbai paused, but did not answer immediately.

Jing Weichen asked again, feigning ignorance, "You went out to look for my sister?"

Lu Lianbai finally lowered his eyes and glanced at him.

"Dr. Lu, you wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to my sister, would you? You didn't know that my sister is already engaged to the Earl Gu family, did you?"

"I know."

"Knowing that you still—"

“It’s just an engagement, not a wedding.” Lu Lianbai said calmly, as if it were no obstacle to him.

Jing Weichen looked him up and down strangely. "Dr. Lu, I really didn't expect you to do something like this, trying to steal someone else's partner. Let me tell you, although I don't have any feelings for my brother-in-law, he is still my sister's fiancé. I advise you to give up on that idea."

Lu Lianbai handed him the bag of medicine and said, "He won't die at all."

Jing Weimian personally drove the military vehicle, which was parked outside the medical department.

All the way out of the main gate, Jing Weichen kept pulling Lu Lianbai along, trying to persuade him in a low voice:
"Dr. Lu, believe me, my sister could never like you. You should hurry up and say goodbye—"

Before Jing Weichen could finish speaking, Jing Weimian, who was walking ahead, hung up the phone, turned around, glanced back and forth between the two behind her, and said to Jing Weichen:
"Weichen, please get in the car first. I have something to say to Dr. Lu privately."

Jing Weichen patted Lu Lianbai's arm knowingly and muttered to himself:

"Just you wait and see. The way you were staring at my sister in the ward was so obvious. My sister is smart, she must know what you're thinking, Dr. Lu. You'd better be prepared to be rejected by my sister later!"

Seeing that Lu Lianbai remained unmoved and stood still, Jing Weichen sighed helplessly and had no choice but to get into the car first.

The moment Jing Weichen sat in the back seat and closed the car door, glancing up at the window, his eyes widened in shock—

Just a moment ago, Dr. Lu was standing quietly outside the car in a pristine white coat when Jing Weimian suddenly pressed her against the glass curtain wall behind her.
