Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Fu Cheng’s Confession

Watching Fu Xiaoxiao protect him, Lu Chen’s little heart was deeply affected; even his biological mother had never protected him like this, yet Fu Xiaoxiao held him in her arms, taking the blow for him.

Lu Chen looked at his little arms and legs, feeling weak. He wanted to be strong like Mr. Lu, so that he could protect his mom in the future.

No one should ever bully his mom again!

Fu Xiaoxiao comforted Lu Chen for quite a while before finally calming him down.

Looking at the time, it was already meal time, so Fu Xiaoxiao got up to prepare to cook in the kitchen.

Lu Feng and Fu Cheng noticed her intention and both tacitly blocked the kitchen door.

"What are you guys doing? Don’t block me, I’m going to cook." Fu Xiaoxiao asked helplessly, looking at them with confusion.

"Today I’ll go to the canteen to get food, you don’t need to cook." Lu Feng said seriously to Fu Xiaoxiao.

The military camp has a canteen, and you can usually get food there. Before, when Lu Feng was home, he would directly go to the canteen to get food back to eat.

"Mom, you should sit down and rest." Lu Chen held onto Fu Xiaoxiao’s other hand, preventing her from going to the kitchen.

"The canteen food isn’t as tasty as mom’s cooking, but mom is injured and should rest."

Hearing Lu Chen’s warm words, Fu Xiaoxiao hugged him tightly. "Oh, you’re really my good son, caring for me."

"Hehe." Lu Chen was happy and laughed, nestled in Fu Xiaoxiao’s arms.

"Then rest for awhile, and I’ll go buy food." Lu Feng glanced at Fu Cheng, who snorted lightly and followed him out.

"Mom, Mr. Lu and uncle are fighting again." Lu Chen snuck out and ran back shortly, whispering to Fu Xiaoxiao to report.

"It’s fine, ignore them. They’re just playing, just like you and your brother." Fu Xiaoxiao playfully pinched Lu Chen’s nose.

"Ah! I see!" Lu Chen nodded—sometimes he and his brother would fight too.

When Lin Qiu arrived with Dragon Beard Candy, she ran into Wang Lu halfway, who told her Fu Xiaoxiao was injured. She quickly hurried over.

"Xiaoxiao, are you okay?" Lin Qiu put down the Dragon Beard Candy, cautiously examining Fu Xiaoxiao, unsure of where she was hurt, not knowing where to touch.

"Sister Qiu, I’m fine, just a little bruised. It looks scary, but it’ll heal in a few days." Fu Xiaoxiao knew Lin Qiu wouldn’t be satisfied without seeing the injury, so she simply showed it to her.

"Oh my god! How did it get this bad!" Lin Qiu’s eyes turned red instantly upon seeing the scary bruise, feeling so concerned that she didn’t dare touch her.

At this moment, Fu Xiaoxiao felt like a porcelain doll, ready to break with Lin Qiu’s touch.

"Really, it looks frightening, but it’s fine!" Fu Xiaoxiao waved her hand casually.

Lin Qiu’s eyelid twitched at the sight. "Please, don’t move anymore, I’m begging you."

Seeing that Lin Qiu still didn’t believe her, Fu Xiaoxiao sighed.

She was truly fine! Why wouldn’t they believe her...

"Don’t handle any household chores these days, I’ll help you!" Lin Qiu glanced at Fu Xiaoxiao, leaving no room for refusal, starting to tidy up the house.

"Uh..." Fu Xiaoxiao wanted to refuse but when she saw Lin Qiu’s gaze, it seemed to say, ’If you dare reject me, you’re not treating me as a friend, and I won’t come here again.’

"Then I’ll trouble you." Fu Xiaoxiao obediently agreed, not daring to refuse any longer.

"That’s more like it!" Lin Qiu nodded in satisfaction.

Fu Xiaoxiao watched her swiftly tidying up the house, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Seeing Lin Qiu busy, Lu Chen also went over to help. Lin Qiu knew Fu Xiaoxiao always encouraged them to work together, so she didn’t stop him but gave him some tasks he could do.

When Lu Feng and Fu Cheng returned with food, Fu Cheng brightened at the sight of Lin Qiu and immediately ran to his wife’s side.

"Qiu, you’re here."

"You’re back?" Lin Qiu turned and saw Fu Cheng, smiling lightly.

"Yes." Fu Cheng acted like a fool, being obedient in front of Lin Qiu.

Lu Feng watched this man who had been fighting with him just moments before, now circling his wife like a fool, his mouth involuntarily twitching.

Is this still the rebellious, wild man full of defiance?

Really opened his eyes.

Fu Xiaoxiao and Lu Feng felt the same, truly Fu Cheng’s behavior was so demeaning.

"Come on, let’s eat!" Lu Feng placed all the dishes he got on the table, arranged everything carefully, not knowing what Fu Xiaoxiao liked, so he piled all the meat dishes in front of her.

Fu Xiaoxiao was grateful he didn’t treat her like a disabled person, still letting her eat on her own.

Heavens knew Lu Feng actually considered feeding her, but since their relationship was only vaguely affectionate without breaking that window, he didn’t dare be too bold, afraid to scare his beloved.

"Eat more meat, you’re too skinny." Lin Qiu sat beside Fu Xiaoxiao, consistently giving her more meat.

"You should eat more too." Seeing Lin Qiu’s empty bowl, Fu Cheng also filled it for her.

Fu Xiaoxiao gave Lu Chen some vegetables, turning her head to see the fatty meat in her bowl, unsure what to do.

Lin Qiu gave it to her, so she couldn’t say she didn’t eat fatty meat, seeking help from Lu Feng, hoping he could understand her hint and help her out.

Lu Feng indeed noticed Fu Xiaoxiao’s pleading look but clearly misunderstood, thinking Fu Xiaoxiao didn’t have enough, so he gave her two more pieces.

"Eat, if you like it, I’ll get more next time!" Lu Feng said considerately.

Fu Xiaoxiao sighed heavily, resignedly eating.

After eating one piece with much difficulty, the greasiness of the fatty meat made Fu Xiaoxiao unable to eat a second piece, and just then, Lu Feng filled the empty space in her bowl.

"..." Fu Xiaoxiao was really on the verge of tears.

She gave Lu Feng a complex look; under his puzzled gaze, Fu Xiaoxiao reached for the green vegetables far away, hoping Lu Feng could understand.

"Eat more meat, vegetables aren’t nutritious." Lu Feng’s one sentence made Fu Xiaoxiao give up.

Only Lu Chen noticed, gently tugging on Fu Xiaoxiao’s clothes, rescuing her. "Mom, I want to eat the meat from your bowl."

Fu Xiaoxiao’s eyes sparkled—young minds are clever!

Fu Xiaoxiao immediately transferred all the meat from her bowl to Lu Chen’s bowl. "Xiao Chen, eat more, you’re growing."

"If Xiao Chen wants to eat, there’s more here. Your mom just got injured, she needs..." Lu Feng also gave Lu Chen a piece and was about to give Fu Xiaoxiao one when he met her strongly rejecting gaze.

"..." Suddenly understanding her intention, Lu Feng silently took the piece back into his bowl.

Fu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, finally happy to reach for some vegetables.

"Honey, eat more meat!" Fu Cheng completely ignored the silent exchange between the others, his eyes solely on Lin Qiu.

"You...don’t call me that." Lin Qiu blushed.

"You’re my wife, you agreed." Fu Cheng declared seriously, "I want no one else but you."

"You, you, you..." Lin Qiu was suddenly confessed to, her ears turning red.
