After a chubby wife with a child undergoes a remarkable transformation, her beauty becomes the talk

It was dusk when they emerged from the synagogue in Alexandria.

The adjutant, having been drinking, had arranged for someone to pick them up ahead of time.

Logically, Gu Xiao should have been sitting in the passenger seat.

However, the adjutant was not a good drinker and was also prone to motion sickness; he almost vomited before the car even started moving.

Gu Xiao let him sit in the passenger seat, while he and Shen Lu sat in the back.

The military jeep was very spacious; Shen Lu had always felt it was empty when she sat in the back.

It's unclear whether it's because Gu Xiao's height is so imposing, or because the alcohol from earlier is now taking effect.

Perhaps it was because the sky was overcast and it was about to rain, but Shen Lu felt very stuffy in the back seat, as if her whole body was enveloped in the cold aura of Commander Gu.

Shen Lu's nose was itchy, and her head was spinning.

She opened the car window and leaned out slightly to breathe in the fresh air.

A gentle breeze dispelled the summer heat, and Shen Lu's hair fluttered in the air, blurring Gu Xiao's vision.

The clean, comforting scent of soap emanating from her, mixed with her unique body fragrance, entered Gu Xiao's senses through his nasal cavity.

Gu Xiao turned his head and opened his window.

The adjutant sitting in the passenger seat was a little puzzled. Is it really that hot today?

The four remained silent throughout the journey.

After arriving at the family compound, Shen Lu got out of the car, thanked them, and left.

"Commander, aren't you going home yet? The mission is complete."

"We'll talk about it after we've completely finished tomorrow."

In Gu Xiao's peripheral vision, that pale yellow color disappeared into the night.

Although the workload wasn't heavy, the environment was somewhat stressful, and Shen Lu was still quite exhausted.

I made a simple dinner.

Shen Lu rolled a seaweed rice roll for the children, and one for herself as well.

Now that she has lost weight, she can eat normally again, but she still needs to pay attention to creating a calorie deficit until her weight is completely stable.

Even the simplest seaweed rice rolls take on a unique flavor in Shen Lu's hands.

He uses plenty of ingredients, and the various flavors are well balanced, neither too bland nor too dominant.

This was the first time the two little ones had ever seen such a magical way of eating.

After trying it, I was hooked and fell in love with seaweed rice rolls, praising them repeatedly.

Shen Lu smiled and said, "This is very simple. You can do it yourselves and roll in your favorite vegetables."

Shen Lu's words were like giving children the right to cook.

The two children were as excited as if they had discovered a new continent, clamoring that they would cook for Shen Lu themselves the next day, and that they would also cook for their father when he came back.

Mentioning Gu Xiao reminded Shen Lu that he was coming back soon.

How to plan for this in the future should also be put on the agenda.

Shen Lu tentatively asked the two little ones the age-old question that parents always ask.

"If your mom and dad separated, who would you want to live with?"

Shen Lu asked this question with some trepidation. Although the three of them, mother and son, had been getting along very well recently, the terrible memories of the previous four or five years were still there.

She really doesn't have any advantages.

Shen Lu was already prepared for disappointment, knowing that the two children were definitely closer to their father, so she turned her attention to Xiao Ze and Xiao Yu.

Only then did I realize that the two little ones had put down their seaweed rice rolls, which they had been enjoying, and were biting their lips tightly, their big eyes filled with tears.

"I was just asking casually, it's okay, let's eat first..."

Shen Lu really wanted to slap herself; she genuinely loved the two children.

His childhood environment shaped his personality.

He had never been treated like a child, and often he didn't know how to treat two children. For example, this time, she overlooked the children's sensitive and delicate hearts.

Even if it really comes to this, you should tell the two children gradually, instead of suddenly saying this when they are completely unprepared.

The two children were still there, tears streaming down their faces.

Shen Lu embraced the two children and apologized softly.

"I'm sorry, babies, Mommy didn't consider your feelings."

Xiao Ze lowered his head and shed tears; he cried so softly that he barely made a sound.

Xiao Yu cried harder and harder, and finally couldn't help but scream out Shen Lu's question.

"I don't want to choose either of them! Why can't Mom and Dad be together?"

Shen Lu sighed. The adult world is complicated and children can't understand it, so he didn't explain too much, as it would only add to the burden of the two little ones.

However, the two little ones' intense reaction just now made him realize something.

Anyway, he doesn't really have anyone he likes. If Gu Xiao is willing to get along peacefully, then the two of them can raise the two children together until they grow up and are ready to accept each other, and then they can separate.

According to other people in the compound, Gu Xiao is an upright and ambitious person. Considering how many times the original owner of this body had acted recklessly, the fact that Gu Xiao has been able to tolerate her until now without divorcing her already shows that he is a very responsible man.

Shen Lu considered many things, but not her own feelings. As a robot without feelings, Shen Lu didn't think she would be biased in this life.

Just thinking about this, Shen Lu suddenly recalled the kiss she shared with Commander Gu in the back seat of the car.

That was an accident.

Doesn't count.

Shen Lu shook her head, clearing her mind of the jumbled thoughts, and focused on the two little ones.

After Shen Lu repeatedly assured them that she would never be separated from their father, the two little ones finally stopped crying.

Fortunately, the children are forgetful; once they've eaten and started playing, they forget about it.

Shen Lu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Shortly after dinner, a violent storm began to break out.

The memory of the two little ones getting a fever in the middle of the night was still fresh in Shen Lu's mind.

She strictly forbade the two little ones from going out to play, and even made each of them a bowl of ginger milk curd to ward off the cold.

The mother and her two children went to bed early.

*

The next morning, Shen Lu prepared breakfast methodically, woke the children up, and helped them wash up.

After watching the two little ones leave home for school with their backpacks on, Shen Lu also packed her things and left.

Shen Lu doesn't like staying cooped up at home all the time, because that would make her disconnect from society.

So, from the time her two children started attending the preschool, Shen Lu applied to Dean Jiang to work at the Translation Institute.

There are no strict working hours requirements at the Translation Institute. As long as you complete your tasks within the specified time, you are free to work. In addition, you are also required to take on two jobs at the same time.

This way, Shen Lu will have plenty of time to take care of her two children.

Shen Lu had just reached the gate of the family compound when she saw a familiar figure.

It was Commander Gu.

Shen Lu wondered, what was he doing here? Was he looking for relatives?

After all, the two had worked together for two or three days, and Commander Gu could be considered her superior, so Shen Lu had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up to greet him.

"Good morning, Commander Gu."

"Hmm." Gu Xiao's reaction was very indifferent.

Shen Lu didn't react much; she walked away immediately after saying hello.

After all, she has a family to attend to, and it's not appropriate for her to chat with a strange man here.

Unexpectedly, this scene was witnessed by Gu's mother, who was not far away.

Having witnessed firsthand that Gu Xiao wasn't particularly interested in Shen Lu, who practiced the Fox Spirit Technique, Gu's mother understood the situation.
