Shen Lu's answer was that she was unwilling to forgive anyone who had hurt Xiao Yu.

Even if Gu Youcai was unaware of it.

She has already done everything she could to be kind and righteous.

Shen Lu didn't say a word, didn't pack her things, and went straight into the ward after closing the door.

"Mom, are those uncles and grandmas outside?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.

"Um……"

Shen Lu thought for a moment, and then solemnly spoke to the two little ones.

"From now on, you can't go with strangers, not even uncles, aunts, grandmas, or neighbors, understand?"

"In this world, you can only trust me and your father. Don't listen to anyone else who tries to take you away."

It was rare for Shen Lu to be so serious, and the two little ones stiffened up and nodded obediently.

Shen Lu held the two children in her arms.

Although this happened to Xiaoyu, she didn't plan to tell the two children, fearing it would frighten them. She could only teach them in this way.

The mother and son rested for a while before packing up and going home.

Before leaving, Shen Lu made a special trip to see Zhao Jingxue.

She packed some pickled vegetables she had made herself at home yesterday, intending to give them to Zhao Jingxue while she was at the hospital.

Zhao Jingxue took the side dish and immediately tasted it, praising Shen Lu's cooking skills.

"I heard your family lives in the military compound. My family lives there too. I'll come visit you sometime."

"OK."

Shen Lu gave Zhao Jingxue her detailed home address. Unexpectedly, the two were not far apart in the huge family compound.

Zhao Jingxue simply made an appointment to visit Shen Lu this Sunday.

Shen Lu didn't have many friends in this world to begin with, so she quickly agreed to Zhao Jingxue's invitation.

Shen Lu is a person with extremely strong self-healing ability. After this short period of rest and adjustment, she has recovered a lot.

After returning home, Shen Lu prepared a large table full of dishes for the two little ones to soothe their wounded hearts.

Shen Lu made braised chicken wings, squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, pine nut corn, small pear soup, braised pork, sweet and sour poached eggs, golden sand tofu, and braised shrimp.

Shen Lu uses high-quality ingredients and cooks them with great care. He only buys the best and freshest ingredients. His family owns one of the buildings near the compound.

The aroma, carried by the northwest wind, filled the entire courtyard.

Passersby sniffed, trying to find out which restaurant had such delicious food.

The mother and her two children certainly couldn't finish all that food. Shen Lu cooked so much to entertain Li Mei's family.

Political Commissar Lu heard from his wife that he was going to Shen Lu's house for dinner, and having finished his work in the army, he prepared to go home early.

Shi Tou, who usually plays around with his friends for half an hour after school, went straight home as soon as get out of class ended today.

This was the first time Political Commissar Lu had visited Shen Lu's home.

He looked around the clean and bright room, saw Shen Lu, who had successfully lost weight and looked beautiful and capable, and two chubby and cute children, and nodded.

"Gu Xiao is a lucky guy."

Shen Lu and Li Mei are serving dishes.

Li Mei suddenly remembered something and asked her husband, "Didn't you say Gu Xiao would be back soon? When?"

When Shen Lu heard that her husband was coming back, her heart skipped a beat.

In her previous life, she only cared about work and never had children or found a man.

After coming into this world, it took me a month to accept that I was a mother of two.

However, she is not yet able to quickly adapt to her role as a wife.

Shen Lu's thoughts drifted uncontrollably into the distance.

What if Gu Xiao wants her to fulfill the duties of a wife...?

After all, the two are not divorced yet.

But he didn't even know what Gu Xiao looked like.

She's not from this era. Even though she already has children, she doesn't want to just settle for a mediocre marriage.

She also wanted to pursue her own love...

"Xiao Shen...Xiao Shen?"

The two were in the kitchen, and Li Mei waved her hand in front of Shen Lu.

"What are you thinking about? You haven't come back to your senses for a while. Are you missing your man? It's been half a year since you last saw him. You must be missing him."

"You two used to always be arguing about divorce, and your relationship wasn't good. Now you've changed so much. Just coax Gu Xiao a little in bed, and I guarantee you'll have a blissful life together."

Li Mei teased Shen Lu.

In her opinion, the two have been married for five years. Even if their relationship is not good, they have been through everything, so it's no big deal to make a few jokes.

Unexpectedly, Shen Lu was still a virgin at heart.

Hearing his blunt words made her blush deeply.

"Sister Li, let's talk about it later. You can't force matters of the heart..."

Shen Lu gave vague answers, wanting to quickly move on from this matter.

Unexpectedly, Li Mei was even more concerned about their married life than she was.

"That won't do. I heard from Lao Lu that Commander Gu will be back in the next few days. You two are a perfect match, with good personalities and two children. What else do you want to do if you don't live a good life?"

As Li Mei listed their good points, Shen Lu had no interest in listening; her mind was only focused on the fact that Gu Xiao was coming back.

Where will Gu Xiao stay when he comes back? The house is only this big.

I can't really sleep in the same bed with him.

This home is only a few dozen square meters, and you see people all the time. Shen Lu has never spent time with a man in the same space before, and the thought of it makes her feel awkward.

Seeing that her expression was off, Li Mei didn't continue.

Everyone has their own destiny. If two people are determined to separate, then no amount of persuasion will change anything.

We'll have to see how Gu Xiao performs then.

The dishes were finally all served, and the group sat down at the table.

Since everyone had other things to do in the afternoon, no one drank alcohol.

Shen Lu offered a cup of tea to the two of them instead of wine.

The two of them put in a lot of effort to find the child. During this period, every time she went to the hospital to submit her manuscript, she would hand the child over to Li Mei.

Shen Lu's gratitude was beyond words, and it all turned into a series of delicious dishes.

Shi Tou and Political Commissar Lu had always known that Shen Lu was a decent cook, but they never expected her to be this delicious.

That steamed bun is nothing more than a trivial skill compared to these dishes.

The father and son originally only intended to be polite, but they couldn't resist how delicious it was.

Seeing that the two were so engrossed in their meal that they couldn't even lift their heads, Li Mei had initially thought of stopping them.

"Sister Li, don't be so polite with me. The translation institute makes a lot of money. I should have treated you to this meal a long time ago. If you don't eat your fill, I'll be embarrassed to ask you for help next time."

Li Mei didn't refuse and quickly joined the fight.

How did Shen Lu research these dishes? They taste a hundred times better than those sold in state-run restaurants.

Li Mei thought to herself, if she were a man, she would definitely marry Shen Lu.

She's beautiful, a good cook, and a translator; she can even be the pillar of strength when faced with major problems.

Because of what Li Mei had just said, Shen Lu was distracted and didn't eat much.

Even so, the whole table of food was eventually eaten clean.

Everyone held their bellies, looking completely satisfied.

It's such a wonderful and satisfying meal, I feel so happy.

Li Mei felt a little embarrassed, so she helped Shen Lu clean up and even took the initiative to wash the dishes.
