Chapter 1030: Chapter 1030: Every Tiong Family Has Its Own Difficulties to Face

Lu Yichen didn’t respond directly, but just held her tighter, "I don’t care about any past or future lives. All I know is that you are my wife now, the mother of my girl, my beloved treasure, the one who is to spend a lifetime with me."

Luo Qiao leaned into his embrace and smiled, "Mm, I love hearing that, thanks, Brother Chen."

Lu Yichen buried his face in Luo Qiao’s neck, unable to help himself kissing her neck, as Luo Qiao wrapped her arms around him and softly called out, "Brother Chen."

Ever since Lu Yichen was injured, he had been celibate, but right now, he felt an urge to possess her.

Just now, in the front yard, his aunt had said she wanted the two kids to sleep in her room tonight, and without a word, he had agreed. That suited his intentions perfectly.

Lu Yichen got up to close the doors and windows, drew the curtains, lifted her onto the bed, and without much time passing, as they hadn’t been intimate for long, things quickly escalated. However, when Lu Yichen reached for the protective gear, he found none.

With the situation reaching a critical point but considering the discomfort his wife would endure if she got pregnant, he endured the sweat on his forehead, "Qiao Bao, there is no protection left. I’ll step out for a bit."

He was about to get out of bed when Luo Qiao grabbed him, "Where can you find it this late?"

Luo Qiao thought this wasn’t like the future where convenience stores and 24-hour adult shops are everywhere. She figured it would be a futile trip. And if he went to the nearby hospital and ran into acquaintances, that would be even more embarrassing.

So she pulled him back, and Lu Yichen kissed Luo Qiao, "No, you’ve been abstaining for so long. I have to have you today, no matter what."

Luo Qiao immediately laughed, "It’s not that I’m denying you."

Lu Yichen shook his head, "No, what if you get pregnant? That would make you suffer. I’ll go out and be right back."

Just as he turned on the light and prepared to dress and leave, he heard his aunt outside shouting, "Yichen, you should rest early. Yanyan and Yueyue are already settled in the front yard, no need to wait up."

Hearing this, Luo Qiao began to laugh. Since the aunt had come to say this, it meant that the main gate was definitely locked, and it would surely make a noise if he tried to leave at this unearthly hour. The heavy wooden gate would creak and Auntie Tang’s room was right next to the main entrance; it wouldn’t be appropriate.

Climbing over the wall was out of the question as well. Long ago, because only Old Master Gu, the aunt, and Auntie Tang were usually at home, and with Xiao Zhang getting married and living close by, shards of glass had been installed on the wall to prevent them from climbing over.

Lu Yichen saw Luo Qiao laughing so hard she shook like a branch in the wind, and he pounced on her. They tussled and played until someone lost control first. They hadn’t been this close in ages and now couldn’t stop.

The next day, they both rested and didn’t get up until the sun was already high in the sky. Luo Qiao calculated that she should have been in her safe period yesterday and felt it would be too coincidental if anything happened, so she didn’t worry much about it.

At lunchtime, Gu Qianru laid out bowls and chopsticks at the dining table, "Dad, my Big Brother called to say that they will be coming back for the New Year this year."

Master Gu took the porridge Luo Qiao had served him, "They got leave this year?"

Gu Qianru served Master Gu his favorite three-flavor buns, "Maybe they have leave this year. My sister-in-law said they will be able to stay a few more days this time and spend more time with you."

Master Gu didn’t answer, but the smile on his face let everyone feel his happiness.

Lu Yichen looked at his grandfather, "Grandfather, my uncle has been living there for over a decade now. Can’t he be transferred back to Capital City? Being closer, he could visit you more often."

Master Gu finished a bun, "What need has an old man like me for company? Work is more important. Besides, if your aunt lived in Capital City, wouldn’t people be at their door every day? It wouldn’t be peaceful. Your uncle would probably be bothered too."

Lu Yichen said no more, but Luo Qiao was not very clear about the situation with this uncle and aunt.

After lunch was cleared away, Gu Qianru took the two little ones out to show off, Stone and Taifeng went back to their room to do homework, and Luo Qiao returned to her room before asking, "What’s the situation with my aunt?"

Lu Yichen sighed, "My aunt lost her mother when she was a child and was brought up by her aunt until she was thirteen before returning to her birth father’s side. But by that time, her father had remarried and already had two children. There was no good life waiting for her when she returned.

Poorly fed and clothed, and often beaten and mistreated, the aunt who raised her couldn’t bear it and started fighting with her stepmother. Her stepmother couldn’t do much about it but still refused to let my aunt stay in the house.

Although her aunt’s family was not well off, they still took her back despite the pressure. So, after my aunt got married, she took good care of her aunt’s family.

That would have been fine, except that her stepmother found out about my uncle’s situation and started making trouble. She wouldn’t leave without taking something each time, the type of person who acts like they don’t understand anything you say.

Back then, my uncle lived in the military family compound, and this drama would play out every so often. My uncle truly got fed up, and there happened to be an opportunity, so he transferred away.

Being far from Capital City, that family couldn’t interfere, but all these years, my uncle and aunt hadn’t had children. Her maternal family wanted to adopt one out to them, aiming for my uncle’s wealth.

However, my aunt firmly refused.

Later, grandmother thought of letting me continue the Gu family line. Over the years, my aunt’s maternal family never gave up this idea. When we got married, they even came to cause trouble.

It’s not that my aunt is weak and easy to bully, it’s just that all her siblings took after their mother’s nature. They act like they don’t understand anything and have thick skins."

Luo Qiao smiled, "Isn’t my uncle a soldier? He could have sorted them out privately and seen if they’d stay in line."

Lu Yichen rubbed the top of Luo Qiao’s head, "At that time, my uncle felt guilty toward my aunt because they couldn’t have children and didn’t want to cause a bigger issue. So, after a few disturbances, they were transferred further out."

Luo Qiao thought to herself that every household has its own problems. If moving back to Capital only led to constant strife, it might be better not to come back at all; such a thought was indeed distressing.
