Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 54: The Chance for a Son Is Far Away Yet Next Door!

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: The Chance for a Son Is Far Away Yet Next Door!

"Is this dish made by Battalion Commander Sheng’s wife?" Lin Xing asked.

"No, it was made by Battalion Commander Sheng himself!"

As soon as Zhang Shuwan said this, Lin Xing was choked by the pepper in his mouth and started coughing, looking at his own wife in disbelief, "Cough, are you kidding?"

Zhang Shuwan handed him a glass of water to ease his discomfort, "Look at you, why so excited?"

"But I’m not joking, this stir-fried rabbit meat was indeed made by Battalion Commander Sheng himself..."

Then, Zhang Shuwan meticulously described the scene when she went to deliver meat and was pulled into the kitchen by Gu Jia Ning, where she witnessed it firsthand.

"You have no idea, I was shocked when I saw it too."

"But Jia Ning said she can’t cook, whereas Battalion Commander Sheng can, and he enjoys cooking for Jia Ning."

"Battalion Commander Sheng is truly a good man!" Zhang Shuwan exclaimed.

"Uncle Sheng is great," echoed Guoguo, who was eating the rabbit meat, agreeing with his mother’s praise.

After being rescued, Guoguo stayed with Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi, witnessing how Sheng Zexi took care of Gu Jia Ning.

Guoguo felt that Aunt Jia Ning was nice and Uncle Sheng was nice too.

Lin Xing: ...

Lin Xing took a hearty bite of the rabbit meat again, still finding it hard to believe that it was made by that young Sheng Zexi.

However, he trusted that his wife wouldn’t lie.

He just didn’t expect that someone as rebellious as Sheng Zexi, with such a fierce approach on the training ground and swift moves on the battlefield, would actually cook for his loved one himself and master such culinary skills.

If the others in the camp found out, wouldn’t it be jaw-dropping?

This is truly a case of one thing overcoming another, isn’t it?

But, does being able to cook make a man a good man?

Then...

Should he learn to cook too?

After the meal, Lin Xing was tidying up the dishes to wash them when he turned and saw his wife taking out a bag of medicinal herbs.

His eyes darkened slightly, "Do you still have to keep taking the medicine? Maybe you should stop. Taking too much of it isn’t good for your health."

Concern was evident in Lin Xing’s eyes.

"No, I need to take care of my health and strive to give you a son," Zhang Shuwan said, taking out the medicine pot, opening the packet of herbs, and putting them in.

"But you’ve been taking it for almost half a year now. It’s not that I mind the money, it’s just..."

"I know." Zhang Shuwan interrupted him, looking up at Lin Xing with reddened eyes, "I know, but I just don’t want to give up."

"I don’t want you to be looked down upon by others."

"I also don’t want Guoguo to end up like me, being left without support. I was lucky to have met you, but who knows what kind of person Guoguo will encounter in the future. After all, who knows what the future holds, and we can’t be by Guoguo’s side protecting her forever..."

As she spoke, tears fell from Zhang Shuwan’s eyes.

In fact, neither Zhang Shuwan nor Lin Xing favored sons over daughters, nor did they pursue having many children for blessings.

Guoguo was wonderful, and they loved her dearly.

But whether it was back in their hometown or previously at the military region, Zhang Shuwan knew all too well the pressure of only having a daughter.

She wasn’t afraid of gossip about her, but she didn’t want such a good man like Lin Xing to be looked down upon.

Especially back in their hometown, she would occasionally hear Lin Xing’s brothers and nephews blatantly saying that Lin Xing only had a daughter, so he would have to rely on them for his old age, and whatever Lin Xing had was destined to be left to them.

When Zhang Shuwan heard this, it reminded her of the time when her parents only had her, and she almost ended up without support.

Now, she and Lin Xing also only had Guoguo, a daughter.

Even while they were still around, people already started plotting how to take advantage of Guoguo’s lack of siblings.

If anything were to happen, and she and Lin Xing weren’t there, leaving Guoguo alone, wouldn’t she be devoured by those jackals and tigers?

So, Zhang Shuwan was scared.

Her insistence on having a son was to prevent these people’s schemes from succeeding.

Lin Xing stepped forward, hugging Zhang Shuwan tightly and soothing her gently, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said anything to you."

He knew all too well what kind of family he had and understood the pain in A wan’s heart.

He didn’t care about having a son or not.

He felt that having Guoguo, a daughter, was also great.

But if having a son could ease Zhang Shuwan’s worries and dispel those jackals and tigers’ schemes, he wished for a son.

But is it possible?

They had been married for ten years and finally had Guoguo, a daughter, with much difficulty.

Now, who knows how much of that bitter herbal medicine A wan had consumed?

Lin Xing held Zhang Shuwan, silently praying: Dear God, could you grant us a son for the sake of my service and protection of the country, and considering A wan and I have done no evil?

If God could respond at this moment, He would surely say: Stop pleading with me, the opportunity for a son is both far away and right next door!

-

In the next-door bungalow, Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi were eating a meal on the hearth in the living room.

"Brother Xi, you’re amazing; this rabbit meat is so deliciously cooked."

"You’re like a god of cooking incarnate."

"Marrying you, I must have saved the galaxy in my previous life."

... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

At this moment, Sheng Zexi was fully immersed in the endless praises of his little wife, a smile uncontainable on his face, almost losing himself.

After the meal, he swiftly cleaned up the dishes for washing, not letting Gu Jia Ning touch them.

After the meal, they rested for a while. Sheng Zexi took a military coat, a scarf, a hat, and other items, wrapping Gu Jia Ning tightly.

Because they were about to go out.

Thinking about what they were going to do next, Gu Jia Ning was both excited and eager, even packing a small bundle with some belongings and clothes.

"Ready?"

"Ready." Sheng Zexi took the bundle from Gu Jia Ning and led her outside.

"Battalion Commander Sheng, heading out?"

"Battalion Commander Sheng, is this your new wife?"

"Battalion Commander Sheng, when are you inviting us to warm the house?"

On the way, they encountered several comrades and military wives, all greeting Sheng Zexi, while their eyes occasionally glanced at Gu Jia Ning behind him.

Bundled tightly, even her face was covered with a scarf.

Could it be that she’s too ugly, afraid to scare people, or embarrassed?

Yes, that must be it!

However, the eyes that were visible were indeed beautiful, bright, and lively.

But no matter how beautiful the eyes are, if the face isn’t attractive, it’s of no use.

So, after Sheng Zexi and Gu Jia Ning got in the car and left, the rumor that Battalion Commander Sheng’s wife was so ugly that she had to cover her face with a scarf when going out spread even further.

Further solidifying the rumors of Gu Jia Ning’s beauty.

Yet, only Zhang Shuwan, who had seen Gu Jia Ning’s beauty, just arrived in the Northwest Military Region and was not familiar with these military wives, hadn’t gone out and did not know about these rumors.
