Chapter 96: Only She Cannot Conceive

Unfortunately, his good intentions were met only with an elbow strike from Jiang Cheng.

"Show some respect!"

It was naturally excellent.

Anyway, apart from not resting well, everything else was fine.

Moreover, he seemed to be on the verge of catching a cold, which was likely related to the several cold showers he had taken last night.

Jiang Yu clutched his stomach, in pain for quite a while.

After breakfast, Jiang Cheng drove Si Rong to the driving school.

Coach Feng watched the married couple enter together and gave Shen Qinghe a teasing look.

Heh, let's see if you still dare to pine after someone else's wife in the future.

You already have a driver's license yet you still come to learn to drive; now you can only watch others show off their affection, painful, isn't it?

Shen Qinghe was indeed somewhat uncomfortable, but even if Jiang Cheng hadn't come, he didn't have the guts to break up a military marriage.

If there is anyone to blame, it can only be that they were not meant to be.

"Division Commander Jiang is here? Here to accompany your wife for driving practice?" Coach Feng obsequiously stepped forward to greet him, even directly giving up the front passenger seat to Jiang Cheng.

"Coach, just teach as you normally would," Jiang Cheng had no intention of taking over the coach's job; he had brought a book on military strategy, "I'll just sit here and wait."

Thus, Coach Feng went off to take Si Rong for driving practice first.

Shen Qinghe sat across from Jiang Cheng, "Is Division Commander Jiang's work so leisurely? I thought military training would be very busy."

"It's alright," Jiang Cheng replied calmly, "Not as spirited as Boss Shen, who has a driver's license yet still has the mind to start learning from scratch."

Before coming, he had his Guard investigate Shen Qinghe thoroughly.

"I did have a license before," Shen Qinghe's expression stiffened, but he reacted quickly, "However, I violated traffic rules last time and it was revoked, so now I have to retake the test."

Facing this man, a layer of cold sweat actually broke out on his back.

This man had indeed investigated him thoroughly.

Fortunately, he had no intention of doing anything wrong to begin with.

Otherwise, the outcome would surely have been miserable.

"So that's how it is," Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows sharply, "Then Boss Shen must be careful next time; some rules truly cannot be violated, otherwise one must always pay the price."

"Division Commander Jiang is right."

Si Rong's driving practice went well today, much better than the previous few times.

Coach Feng encouraged her vigorously, "When the time comes, bring this energy to the test, and you'll definitely pass on the first try!"

After the driving practice, they went to eat together.

Si Rong suggested going to a buffet.

It was something she had always wanted to try but hadn't yet.

Jiang Cheng naturally had no objections.

It was thirty yuan per person.

It was just the right time for lunch, so they found a table by the window and began to get their food.

Si Rong took a piece of steak; at this buffet, one had to queue for the grilled steak.

When she returned to her seat, she saw an acquaintance.

Who was glaring at her with resentment.

Shen Yun.

There was a huge pile of plates on the table in front of her, and Yang Junwei was watching her with disdain from the side.

Shen Yun seemed to have gained another layer of fat compared to before.

Si Rong decisively glared back.

Her eyes were bigger than Shen Yun's, so she had the advantage.

After staring until her eyes hurt, it was ultimately Shen Yun who couldn't hold on and blinked first.

Rarely seeing this childish side of Si Rong, Jiang Cheng appreciated it inwardly and couldn't bear to disturb her.

When Si Rong went to get coffee, Shen Yun sidled up to her.

She boasted triumphantly, "Si Rong, I'm pregnant, Jun Wei brought me here to eat at the buffet."

She could give birth; Si Rong must be dying of envy inside, right?

Because Si Rong was a hen that couldn't lay eggs.

"You only come to eat at a buffet because you're pregnant?" Si Rong smiled faintly and choked her, "My husband and I were just passing by and decided to grab a bite."

Shen Yun:...

!!!

You're looking down on me, aren't you?

"We've only just gotten engaged, and you're already calling him husband? You really are promiscuous!"

Shen Yun cursed.

Now that Si Rong had made a mess of her maiden home, she almost had no home to return to.

Si Rong swiftly slapped her across the face.

"Your mouth is still as foul as ever; now that you're pregnant, can't you accumulate some blessings for the child in your belly?"

"You dare hit me!"

Shen Yun immediately shouted, "Jun Wei! Come over here! Someone is bullying me!"

Yang Junwei had already been impatient with her; if it weren't for the child in her belly, he wouldn't have brought her to eat at the buffet at all.

Before he could even arrive, Jiang Cheng was already standing by Si Rong's side in a protective stance.

As soon as he saw Si Rong, Yang Junwei knew that the one who was definitely in the wrong must be Shen Yun.

"Alright, stop embarrassing yourself, hurry back; if you aren't going to eat, then go home!"

Shen Yun looked at her own husband, then looked at Si Rong's husband, and could not help but be furious.

She deliberately walked with her hands clutching her stomach.

She had started gaining weight this month; although she hadn't been to the hospital to check yet, she had symptoms of vomiting, so she was definitely pregnant.

Si Rong was just jealous of her!

After Shen Yun left, Si Rong was in a bad mood; she was always letting these annoying people affect her appetite.

This habit was truly not good.

As if out of spite, she forced herself to eat a little more.

Shen Yun was pregnant too; how could every woman get pregnant, yet she was the only one who couldn't?

She remembered a folk remedy her mother had inquired about before.

It suggested that after she and Jiang Cheng were married, they should adopt a child.

Some couples originally couldn't conceive, but after adopting a child, they would soon give birth to a child of their own.

This was metaphysics.

The couple might not have children in their fate, but the child might bring siblings in their own fate.

But Si Rong didn't want to adopt; she already had psychological trauma from raising other people's children.

It was better to just let nature take its course!

"Rongrong, let's go to the mall later!" Jiang Cheng suggested.

He remembered his sister saying that when a woman is unhappy, spending a little money makes it better.

Si Rong happened to want to clear her head as well; she had eaten a bit too much.

They went to the largest mall in Huaiyang.

As soon as they entered, Jiang Cheng took Si Rong to the women's clothing section.

Only then did Si Rong realize he wanted to buy her clothes.

It must be because he had just noticed her bad mood, which was why he brought her here.

The feeling of being cared for was very good.

But Si Rong was not short on clothes, and most of her clothes were custom-made.

Her eyes darted, and she climbed her hands up Jiang Cheng's shoulders, stood on tiptoe, and leaned into Jiang Cheng's ear, "I don't lack those kinds of clothes, I lack the kind you took out last night..."

An electric current, sparked from his right ear, surged through his entire body.

Jiang Cheng was momentarily at a loss.

He felt as if he had been teased; this little woman was so different from what he had imagined.

She was very bold.

So bold that it made him want to bully her.

"Then let's go buy it." Jiang Cheng's voice was husky.

Si Rong covered her mouth and laughed, "I want to have Division Commander Jiang accompany me, is that okay?"

This extremely familiar retort made Jiang Cheng unable to help but laugh along with her.

The relationship between the two seemed to have drawn much closer invisibly.

This time, without asking politely, Jiang Cheng took the woman's hand and gripped it tightly in his palm.

He strode toward their destination.

"Mom!" A familiar shout suddenly came from behind; Si Rong turned her head and, sure enough, saw Shen Chi.

He shouted several times in a row and trotted over to them.

His gaze landed on the hands Si Rong and Jiang Cheng were holding together, and his thick eyebrows, which were extremely similar to Shen Lan's, furrowed.

They soon smoothed out again.

"Mom, I have something very important to tell you; can we talk alone?"

He believed Si Rong would give him this face, after all, he was the one who would be supporting Si Rong in her old age.
