80s Military Accompanying: The Heirless Tycoon Pampers His Pregnant Wife
Chapter 66 Returning Home in the Middle of the Night
Ring ring ring—
A few minutes earlier, when the phone rang in the duty room, Niu Da-wa reacted as if on cue, pulling aside Niu Xiao-hua who was about to answer the phone and grabbing the receiver before she could.
When Niu Xiaohua caught up with them, she overheard Niu Da Wa saying to the person on the other end, "Please wait a moment, I'll go and call Commander Ye right away."
"Who is it?" Niu Xiaohua hurriedly stepped forward to ask when she saw him turn around to look for Ye Zhengting.
Niu Da Wa glared at her, and to prevent his sister from causing trouble again, he simply shouted at the top of his lungs out the window, "Commander Ye... your wife is calling!"
Shen Fenghe's lips twitched on the other end of the phone, and she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Is this the village chief's son?"
She recognized Niu Da Wa's voice, and soon after, a familiar, deep, magnetic voice came from the other end.
"it's me."
Shen Fenghe gripped the receiver tightly, her voice trembling slightly: "I received the mountain goods, thank you."
"Hmm." Ye Zhengting's voice was neither warm nor cold.
Shen Fenghe pursed her lips. "I made some mosquito repellent sachets and wanted to send them to the camp, but I don't know how to do it."
"Let's leave it for now," Ye Zhengting said calmly.
"Oh." Shen Fenghe lowered her head.
"I'm going to get busy."
"Okay, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Fenghe couldn't quite describe her feelings. Not wanting Zhu Jing to notice anything amiss, she composed herself before returning to the family compound.
What to do when you're in a bad mood? Cook some hot pot to cheer yourself up.
"Wow... having hot pot on a hot summer day is so great!"
Even with two floor fans blowing towards her, Zhu Jing still broke out in a sweat.
Shen Fenghe was pregnant and dared not eat too much. She held chopsticks in one hand and a palm-leaf fan in the other to fan Zhu Jing.
"Sister-in-law, I don't want to leave anymore. How about we kick my brother out?"
While enjoying the meal, Zhu Jing didn't forget to make a joke.
"Okay! We'll take care of the baby together after it's born," Shen Fenghe nodded with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jing immediately changed her mind: "Let's forget about taking care of the child. It's a tough job. Let my aunt and uncle do it. You and my brother can enjoy some time alone and try to have another one the year after next."
Shen Fenghe did not respond. She remembered the agreement between her and Ye Zhengting that they would not have a relationship.
They ate well and went to bed early. Tonight, the two of them washed up and went to bed before nine o'clock, and even started snoring together.
"Huff...huff..."

While half asleep, Zhu Jing seemed to hear a strange noise, like the sound of a door lock being pried open, which startled her and made her open her eyes abruptly.
Who's trying to break in?
In the darkness, her hearing was amplified, making her increasingly certain that someone was trying to pry open the door lock. So she quickly got out of bed and tiptoed to the outer room.
"What's wrong?"
Despite her carefulness, she still alerted Shen Fenghe, who was standing nearby.
Zhu Jing turned around and gestured for her to be quiet, then pointed towards the gate, grabbed the metal-handled umbrella standing against the wall, and headed straight for the gate.
Shen Fenghe hurriedly followed, looked around, and finding no suitable weapon, simply picked up the radio and held it high above her head.
The moment the door opened, Ye Zhengting saw Zhu Jing holding an umbrella and Shen Fenghe holding a radio high, looking ready for anything, as if he were a thief who had broken in at night.
"elder brother?"
Upon seeing that the person outside the door was Ye Zhengting, Zhu Jing's eyes, which had been wide open like copper bells, instantly turned cross-eyed.
Shen Fenghe hurriedly put down the radio, awkwardly rubbing her hands together, her eyes darting around but refusing to look at Ye Zhengting.
Ye Zhengting was both amused and exasperated. He raised his hand and gave Zhu Jing a flick on the forehead. "Are you stupid?! This is a military family compound. What thief would dare to break in?"
"hey-hey!"
Zhu Jing chuckled sheepishly, rubbed her forehead, turned the umbrella around, and planted it on the ground. "Brother, why did you suddenly come back?"
Ye Zhengting did not answer, but looked past her at Shen Fenghe, whose eyes were flickering.
Seeing this, Zhu Jing grinned and said, "You missed your sister-in-law."
"Oh dear! Does that mean I'll have to sleep on the sofa tonight?"
Immediately afterwards, she stomped her foot, looking distressed.
Ye Zhengting glanced at her and said, "You can sleep on the floor too."
"Fine! If you want to sleep on the bed, I'll let you; I'll sleep on the folding bed." Zhu Jing went straight for it, put down her umbrella, went into the inner room, dragged the folding bed out from under the bed, and placed it in the outer room. She then took out pillows and a thin blanket, took off her shoes, lay down on the folding bed, and turned to Ye Zhengting, saying, "Brother, don't even think about sleeping on the sofa. I'm not married yet; I can't sleep in the same room as you."
Ye Zhengting stood speechlessly with his hands on his hips.
Shen Fenghe covered her mouth with the gourd.
Seeing Zhu Jing blinking frantically at her, Shen Fenghe grabbed Ye Zhengting's arm and pulled him into the inner room. "Jingjing gets up early, let her go to sleep. Let's not disturb her."
As soon as the door closed, Zhu Jing jumped up and quietly eavesdropped by pressing her ear against the door of the inner room.
The thin wooden door panel offered little sound insulation, and the two people's conversation quickly reached her ears.
"You came back in such a hurry, is something wrong at the military region?"
After entering the house, Shen Fenghe released Ye Zhengting's arm.
Ye Zhengting rubbed the spot where she had touched him, feeling the skin there burning hot and tight, which made his throat dry and hoarse.
"The military region is fine. I was worried that you would be foolish enough to take a car all the way here to deliver sachets."
Shen Fenghe rubbed her nose. "I didn't know how to send the sachet to you, but I definitely won't take a car there myself. I'm not as silly as you think."
"You're just stupid!" Ye Zhengting coldly snorted.
"Where am I stupid?" Shen Fenghe asked, frowning.
Ye Zhengting glanced at her, "Can't you use traditional Chinese medicine if you're not stupid?"
Zhu Jing sighed, "Does my brother even know how to talk? No wonder he's been single for so many years."
Shen Fenghe bit her lower lip and didn't argue anymore.
Ye Zhengting was suddenly annoyed. Why did he have to be so rude, just like Zhu Jing?
"Ugh! Go to sleep, I'll sleep on the outside, I'll try not to be next to you." He awkwardly changed the subject, walked to the bedside, sat down, and started taking off his shoes.
"Hey! Did you wash your feet?" Shen Fenghe asked hurriedly.
Ye Zhengting paused for a moment.
Zhu Jing, standing outside the door, was speechless again, and also found it amusing.
"How could you ask such a jarring question at a time like this? Shouldn't you be helping my brother take off his clothes?"
Ye Zhengting was also speechless. "Didn't you say not to disturb Zhu Jing's sleep? If I go out to wash my feet, it will definitely make a lot of noise. Besides, I don't have smelly feet."
Shen Fenghe pouted, "Then I'll bear with it."
Ye Zhengting's eyes widened. "I already told you my feet don't smell!"
Shen Fenghe pretended not to hear, climbed onto the bed beside him, lay down and closed her eyes.
The feeling of punching cotton returned. Ye Zhengting, with his nostrils flared, let out a deep breath before taking off his shoes and lying down on his side, deliberately keeping a half-person width distance from Shen Fenghe.
"No more movement?"
Not hearing any further conversation or other noises, Zhu Jing was quite disappointed. She lay back down on the folding bed and muttered to herself, "Why aren't the neighbors having any marital relations tonight?"
"Aren't you usually making all sorts of noises right now?"
She was hoping the neighbors' commotion would provoke the two of them!
Ye Zhengting was equally puzzled. He had thought it would be another tense night, but tonight was unexpectedly peaceful.
He felt relieved and slept soundly through the night, accompanied by the faint aroma of Chinese herbs.
"Well……"
He woke up feeling refreshed, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he found himself staring at Shen Fenghe.
"What's wrong?"
He sensed a hint of sorrow in Shen Fenghe's eyes.
After regaining some consciousness, he realized that his sleeping position had changed. He had changed from lying on his side to lying on his side, with one arm draped over Shen Fenghe's chest and his right leg pinning down both of her legs.
"I had to push you for ages to keep you from falling on top of me, Commander Ye, you're a restless sleeper!" Shen Fenghe said quietly.
