80s Military Accompanying: The Heirless Tycoon Pampers His Pregnant Wife

Meeting Zhu Jing's burning gaze, the words "I don't love you" stuck in Shen Fenghe's throat. She opened her mouth several times and closed it again. After hesitating for a while, she finally smiled and said, "I admire and respect your brother."

"So that means you don't love me?" Zhu Jing asked, slightly disappointed.

Shen Fenghe crossed her arms, frowned, and remained silent.

"That's true. It was my brother who insisted on marrying you, and you were pregnant with his child. Even if you didn't love him, you had no choice but to marry him."

After a short while, Zhu Jing sighed self-assuredly, grasped Shen Fenghe's hand, and frowned, saying, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to have wronged you!"

"I……"

"Don't tell me, I'll tell you."

Zhu Jing interrupted her, guessing that she was definitely going to make excuses for Ye Zhengting who had forced her. "It's too easy for men in high positions to get the women they love, regardless of whether the women want to or not. Take my uncle for example, he fell in love with one of his students... not a primary school student, my uncle teaches high school. As soon as that student graduated, he took my grandfather to propose marriage. The other party's parents didn't even ask if she wanted to, and they just got the marriage done."

"So... were they happy later?" Shen Fenghe couldn't help but ask curiously.

Zhu Jing pouted. "I don't know. All I know is that she cried when she married my uncle. She cried so hard. Now their son is three years old. My aunt got pregnant again recently. Anyway, she can't continue her studies. My uncle definitely won't let her go out to work. He says he's afraid she'll suffer. I think he just doesn't trust her."

"When she first entered high school, my uncle had his eye on her. He rejected all the women people introduced to him, and he was determined to marry her after she graduated. Actually, my aunt was not yet of legal marriage age, but my grandfather used his connections to make her age two years older."

"I admit my uncle is infatuated, but infatuation doesn't guarantee the other person's happiness."

"But my brother is different!"

She changed the subject, her expression becoming serious, "It's possible that my brother was the one who initiated your relationship, but he wouldn't treat my aunt like a caged bird like my uncle did. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let you work at the clinic."

"My brother isn't good at sweet talk, and he doesn't say he loves my aunt like my uncle does. His love is all shown in his actions. Take me for example. Back then, no one questioned Yu Li's judgment, but my brother believed me. He took me to the military hospital in the city for a checkup without saying anything, which saved my future."

"Afterwards, out of consideration for Chief Yu, he didn't do anything to Yu Li, but from then on, Dr. Li was directly in charge of our cultural troupe's medical work."

"Sister-in-law, my brother has actually had a tough time. He's not as glamorous as outsiders see him."

Her tone suddenly turned heavy. "The Ye family suffered much more than our Zhu family during the ten years of turmoil. His eldest and second uncles died during their time in the countryside, apparently tortured to death. His eldest and second aunts also passed away one after another, leaving only his two cousins."

"To prevent the two sisters from being implicated, my aunt used her connections to get them emigrated abroad, where they are now married and settled."

"My uncle was the youngest son in his family, so my brother was not only the eldest grandson but also the only male heir of the Ye family in this generation. He had a lot of pressure on his shoulders. In order to prove himself, he took the initiative to join the army in a mountain town far from the capital. He did not rely on family connections and started from the bottom. He worked his way up, got injured, and even went through the gates of death several times."

"Now he has finally settled down and is about to become a father. The Ye family line can finally continue. I am really happy for him."

"Sister-in-law, please love my brother well. He deserves it."

She gripped Shen Fenghe's hand tightly, her voice pleading.

Shen Fenghe thought of the deep and shallow scars she had seen on Ye Zhengting's body when she helped him apply medicine, and her eyes flickered slightly.

"Okay! I will try to love him," Shen Fenghe solemnly promised.

After all, he is the father of my child.

"Sister-in-law, what does it feel like to love someone? Is it really like my brother-in-law said, that you can't live without him?"

Immediately, Zhu Jing tilted her head, looking confused.

Shen Fenghe couldn't answer either, "Maybe you'll know when you meet that person someday."

"Hmm..." Zhu Jing pouted, thought for a moment, and said, "It seems I don't love Lu Xiaohua."

The next morning, after having breakfast with Shen Fenghe, Zhu Jing arrived at the art troupe right on time. She saw Jiang Shanshan hesitant to speak, and Zhong Jie looking at her with a somewhat evasive gaze.

"What's wrong? Did you two secretly use my lipstick while I was away?"

Zhu Jing raised an eyebrow, put her hands behind her back, and walked towards the two of them with a pigeon-toed gait.

"You tell me."

Jiang Shanshan raised her elbow and nudged Zhong Jie beside her.

Zhong Jie shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum, "I speak my mind, and I'm afraid Piggy will scold me."

"What's wrong? What happened?" Zhu Jing became increasingly suspicious. She walked up to the two of them, narrowed her eyes, and looked them up and down. "You not only stole my lipstick, but you also dropped it and broke it?"

"Shanshan, hurry up and tell us!" Zhong Jie turned to look at Jiang Shanshan and urged her.

Jiang Shanshan was caught in a dilemma. She frowned, covered her mouth with one hand, and whispered in Zhu Jing's ear, "Some people are saying that because Comrade Shen didn't keep her and Commander Ye's premarital pregnancy a secret, Commander Ye felt ashamed and simply volunteered to lead his team to help build a new house in a remote mountain village."

"What? Who's spreading rumors?" Zhu Jing was furious.

"It should be... Wang He, right? He's the only one here who's a big mouth," Zhong Jie guessed.

"He just has a big mouth, but he won't talk nonsense!" Zhu Jing was angry, but she hadn't lost her temper.

"Then...who could it be?" Jiang Shanshan scratched her head.

"Piggy, is this true?" Zhong Jie asked Zhu Jing in a low voice, a glint of something unsettling in her eyes.

Zhu Jing glared at her, "My brother and sister-in-law did get married after they were pregnant. If it weren't for the child, my sister-in-law might not have married my brother!"

"My brother insisted on marrying my sister-in-law!" she emphasized, then added, "My brother wouldn't be ashamed of being pregnant out of wedlock. They kept it a secret from everyone because the baby is less than three months old!"

"The ones who should feel ashamed are the ones who spread rumors!"

She said this while staring at Zhong Jie.

Chung Jie turned her face away guiltily, "I don't know who's spreading rumors."

"I know who it is!"

Zhu Jing's eyes narrowed, and she skipped class, turning around and rushing out of the performing arts troupe to settle accounts with the culprit...
