After the replacement of the military officer, the soft stepmother won

"I'm fine, but I've been a bit sleepy lately." Shen Li curled her lips helplessly, "My appetite has also increased since I gained weight, and I eat a lot more than before."

There is one thing that Shen Li is embarrassed to say, which is that she has been going to the toilet more easily recently.

I urinate more frequently than before.

This is probably a normal phenomenon caused by the child's bladder being compressed.

"These are all normal phenomena." Qiu Nian nodded, "Xiao Li, can you show me your ankle?"

Shen Li stretched out her feet, and Lu Jingchuan, who was standing next to her, held Shen Li's slender white ankles with his big hands and placed them on his legs.

"It's a little swollen." Qiu Nian frowned and said, "This is a temporary swelling caused by the baby pressing on your limbs. It will be better after the baby is born."

Xiaoli's condition is not serious. Some pregnant women with severe conditions will have very swollen limbs, and even the soles of their feet will swell like steamed buns. In this case, some women need to be injected with some drugs to relieve the symptoms.

"Yeah." Shen Li slowly retracted her legs, looking at Qiu Nian with a smile on her lips, "Uncle, you have worked hard over the years."

Just these few words made Qiu Nian's eyes red.

He felt warm in his heart and all the fatigue in his body was swept away.

"I'm fine." Qiu Nian's voice was a little choked. "Although I have suffered a lot outside these years, I am also fascinated by medical research. Relying on some high-end medical research equipment in Country M, I have also developed some medical results. Now that I have returned to my motherland, these things will also promote the development of the medical field in my motherland."

"Yeah." Shen Li nodded.

"What about you? Xiaoli, have you been doing well these years?" Qiu Nian looked at Shen Li with distressed eyes.

"Xiao Li, have a good chat with your uncle. I just came back and I'm quite dirty. I'm going to take a hot bath." Lu Jingchuan gave Shen Li and Qiu Nian some time alone to reminisce about the past.

Even though he couldn't bear to leave his daughter-in-law.

On the way back, I was so eager to go home that I couldn't wait to see my wife.

I wish I could be by her side all the time.

Duran brought out freshly cut fruits and tea from the kitchen and placed them on the table. Then he took the two children to play in the yard.

The only people left in the room were Shen Li and Qiu Nian sitting opposite her.

"I'm fine. I'm very happy after marrying Jingchuan." Shen Li said.

The two chatted face to face, and Shen Li talked about some of her experiences from childhood to adulthood and some of the things that happened after she married Lu Jingchuan.

Qiu Nian was a little emotional, "If I hadn't been trapped in Country M, your mother might not have died... It's my fault for not protecting you and your daughter!"

It’s a pity that Shen Li’s nominal adoptive father is dead.

If he wasn't dead, Qiu Nian would have wanted to teach him a lesson.

As a medical professional, he has a hundred ways to make the other person's life worse than death.

"Well, the past is over. I am living a good and happy life now." Shen Li looked at him with a smile and poured Qiu Nian a cup of tea. "Uncle, try it. This is the scented tea from our island. It contains dried raspberries, berries, blueberries, roses and other flowers. Rock sugar is added when it is boiled. It tastes sour and sweet. It tastes very good. Try it."

"Okay." Qiu Nian took it and drank a cup. It was a little sour and a little sweet. He felt sweet in his heart and his whole body was warm.

"So you have been single and unmarried all these years?" Shen Li asked.

Qiu Nian shook his head. "I have been trapped abroad for many years, staying in the laboratory every day to deal with some data. How can I have the opportunity to meet women, let alone get married."

He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to think about getting married anymore."

"If you meet the right person, you can still have a relationship." Shen Li said.

Otherwise, wouldn’t my uncle become a bachelor?

"Yeah." Although Qiu Nian agreed, he didn't take the matter seriously.

"Uncle, eat some fruit. I'll go clean the house for you." Shen Li said as she stood up.

At this time, Duran walked into the room and said, "Xiao Li, it's inconvenient for you to do this with your big belly. Let me do it."

Soon, Duran got up and left.

Not long after, Duran came downstairs and said, "Mr. Qiu, your bedroom is the first one on the left on the second floor."

"Okay." Qiu Nian nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

"The towels, toothbrushes, and toothpaste are all ready, all new. The quilt and mattress are also new." Duran said, "They were all just dried in the sun today. I made them."

"Thank you for your hard work, in-laws."

"It's not that hard. We are all family." Duran smiled and waved his hand.

It was getting late, so Qiu Nian got up and went to his guest room.

Shen Li sat on the sofa and watched TV for a while. She felt a little sleepy, so she got up and walked towards her room.

When she came in, Lu Jingchuan was getting dressed.

He was already wearing army green camouflage pants, with his upper body bare and his strong and muscular chest exposed. He was picking up an army green combat uniform and putting it on. The muscles in his arms were vigorous and powerful, his wheat-colored back was very broad and muscular, and his whole body was filled with the scent of male hormones.

Shen Li walked closer to Lu Jingchuan, stretched out her arms, wrapped them around his waist from behind, and pressed her soft little face against the man's back, "Jingchuan..."

She spoke, her voice gentle and soft.

"Yeah." The man's voice was a little hoarse, and the muscles on his back stiffened. "What's wrong?"

"I missed you." Shen Li said softly, and put her little face against his back, rubbing it gently.

The man turned around. He was very tall, and Shen Li had to tilt her head back to look him in the eye.

And when she tilts her face up, this position is perfect for kissing.

He liked it best when she looked up at him, and he would hold the back of her head with his big hands and lean over to kiss her fiercely.

Deep kiss.

Looking at the woman's soft little face, Lu Jingchuan felt his throat a little dry, and his sexy Adam's apple slid silently.

"Jingchuan, you've become darker and thinner." Shen Li reached out and touched his face with concern.

But his body has grown stronger and firmer than before.

I have more muscles than before.

It's just that the face looks deeper, more three-dimensional and thinner.

"Not bad." Lu Jingchuan said.

What he missed most when he was in a foreign country was the food cooked by his wife.

"Your chest...how did you get this?" Shen Li's eyes slid down and she noticed a round scar on the man's chest.

It had already scabbed over, but the wound was enough to make Shen Li realize how dangerous it was.

This is very close to the heart.

"Nothing, I was accidentally scratched." Lu Jingchuan gently stroked the woman's soft little face with his big hand, and his voice was full of gentle doting.

"No, you lied to me." Shen Li's dark almond-shaped eyes quickly filled with mist, "You've clearly been shot here."
