I Came to Divorce Him—His Whole Regiment Adopted Me

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Knocking on the Door

Not to mention Su Wan’s own incredible skills, even people like Master Ji and Dean Xu admired her. If Su Wan were ever in real trouble, these influential figures would definitely step in to help her.

At this thought, Lu Zhengchuan’s expression darkened. He realized he had become her least influential backer.

A powerful sense of crisis washed over him. ’If I don’t work harder, I’ll be the one who’s not worthy of Wanwan.’

Lu Zhengchuan immediately sat down before her with a straight face and said solemnly, ”I will work hard to take on less dangerous missions and get transferred to the Capital Military District.”

”Hm? Is it possible to transfer to the Capital Military District?” Su Wan was a little curious. ”Your connections, superiors, and mentors are all in the Southwest Military Region. If you go to the Capital Military District, won’t it be more difficult for your career?”

Hearing her show such concern for him, Lu Zhengchuan’s heart swelled with delight.

The corners of his mouth curved up, and he said with considerable confidence, ”Not really. I actually have leaders and mentors I know in every military region, because the leadership in the forces is rotated from time to time.”

It dawned on Su Wan when she heard this. ’That’s right. If military leaders stay in one place for too long, it’s easy for corruption to breed, and it’s also not good for management.’

’That’s a pretty sound policy.’

”However, the Capital Military District is in the nation’s capital, after all. To get transferred there, you need enough military merit and skill.” Lu Zhengchuan had always had his sights set on the Capital Military District.

After all, who doesn’t want a promotion?

Now that Su Wan was going to the Capital, this desire of his had become even stronger.

”Don’t be rash. Your safety is the most important thing,” Su Wan said, patting his shoulder reassuringly.

She was terrified of something happening to Lu Zhengchuan.

Lu Zhengchuan reached out and stroked her belly, his gaze softening.

”I know.”

”I have to protect our child and you.”

Hearing Lu Zhengchuan put the child’s well-being before her own, Su Wan felt only a tiny pang of jealousy before suppressing the emotion. Her focus was on making money right now, and besides, she loved children too.

Su Wan was nearly four months along, and her belly was beginning to show.

She preferred sleeping on her side now, as it didn’t create any pressure.

Su Wan had just lain down when she heard the sound of Lu Zhengchuan getting out of bed beside her.

”Where are you going?” Su Wan asked, turning her head.

There was a hint of awkwardness in Lu Zhengchuan’s voice. He cleared his throat. ”I’m going to take a shower.”

”Didn’t you just shower today?” Su Wan slapped her forehead. ’I’m sure I’m not misremembering.’ Thinking Lu Zhengchuan was acting strange, she instinctively glanced back, only to see the tent in his military pants.

Su Wan had experienced his magnificence before, and she instantly realized what was happening. Her cheeks immediately flushed red.

”Ahem, you should go take that shower.”

Su Wan immediately lay back down, her back to him.

Lu Zhengchuan didn’t leave. Instead, he said out of the blue, ”Wanwan, we have a new bed.”

”Yes, the old bed was moved to the spare room. Now when we have guests, we can put them up in the guest room,” Su Wan replied instinctively.

She secretly fanned her cheeks, trying to cool the heat rising in her body.

Lu Zhengchuan kicked the bed frame with his foot. ”I want to see how sturdy this bed is.”

Su Wan was a little bewildered and replied automatically, ”Huh? How are you going to test how sturdy the bed is in the middle of the night? Didn’t you step on it when it was delivered?”

Lu Zhengchuan braced his hands on either side of her, his hot breath grazing her cheek and the shell of her ear. His voice was husky. ”Wanwan, how do you think we should test if the bed is sturdy?”

It slowly dawned on Su Wan what he meant. She blushed from head to toe, her face and neck flushing crimson, and her breathing quickened.

Especially when she couldn’t help but turn and meet his gaze. His fiery eyes made her tense up instinctively, and she quickly pushed a hand against his chest. ”What... what are you doing?”

Lu Zhengchuan said with a smile, ”Wanwan, you’re so beautiful.”

Su Wan fought against her body’s reaction—her racing heart—and replied bluntly, completely killing the mood, ”Yes, I know.”

She even gave Lu Zhengchuan a solemn nod.

Their eyes met, and Su Wan gestured with hers for him to get off her. ”Weren’t you going to take a shower? Why don’t you go?”

”Wanwan, with you here, I’d rather shower with you.”

Lu Zhengchuan turned her face toward him, held her chin, and gave her a somewhat domineering kiss.

Su Wan was kissed into a daze. Her hands were pressed between their chests. Her fingers rested below Lu Zhengchuan’s neck, the pads of her fingers feeling the sweat-slickened veins pulsing along with the movement of his Adam’s apple.

Su Wan felt unbearably hot. She tried to push him away, but he caught her hands.

She tried to open her mouth to speak, but his tongue kept plundering it. Her breathing grew ragged, and she couldn’t form a single clear word. When she turned her head away, Lu Zhengchuan’s lips pursued hers like a puppy, leaving them instantly wet and sensual.

”Stop... that’s enough...”

Su Wan finally found a chance to regain her voice, holding Lu Zhengchuan’s chest to keep him from pressing closer.

Suddenly, she felt something hot brush against her calf. Lu Zhengchuan’s military uniform was gone, revealing his V-tapered physique.

”You...” Su Wan’s eyes widened. Her lips were already a deep crimson, and she had no idea how exceptionally seductive her glistening eyes looked.

Her cheeks were flushed with desire, yet she was deliberately trying to restrain herself. This look of forced composure made one want to rip her clothes off just to see her finally lose control.

”Wanwan, let me take care of you,” Lu Zhengchuan murmured, his kisses peppering her skin.

Su Wan’s face was a mask of restraint. Moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating a pair of delicate, pale hands clutching the bedsheets tightly as beads of sweat dripped down.

A night of peaceful sleep.

When Su Wan woke up and saw the sunlight outside, she was stunned for a moment. She glanced at her watch instinctively; the hands already pointed to past ten in the morning.

”Wanwan, are you awake? I left breakfast warming in the pot. Get up and have a bite. I’m about to start making lunch. We have a train to catch tonight.”

The train tickets had been booked long ago. Besides, Lu Zhengchuan was in a hurry to get to the Capital and report on the new mine detector. There was no time to delay.

Su Wan answered him. As she was getting dressed, she saw the marks on her body and couldn’t help but blush shyly. She had always been completely focused on her studies and had never experienced such amorous affairs. She never expected being in a relationship would feel like this. ℴℴ𝘮

The corners of her mouth turned up. She was in a good mood.

Su Wan finished washing up in the courtyard.

There was a knock at the gate.

Su Wan went over and opened the courtyard gate, revealing Mrs. Liu standing outside.

She didn’t recognize her at first and just asked quizzically, ”Ma’am, who are you looking for?”

”You must be Su Wan. I’m looking for you,” Mrs. Liu said, pushing her way into the courtyard.

Holding her belly, Su Wan didn’t try to stop her. She simply stepped aside to avoid a collision.

”Ma’am, who are you?”

’Lu Zhengchuan is in the kitchen anyway, so I’m not worried about this person bullying me.’

Su Wan’s composure made Mrs. Liu think she was deeply cunning. ’I’ve come right to her door, and she’s not the least bit scared or guilty. No wonder she could tear the Zheng Family apart and drag my second son down with her.’

Mrs. Liu turned to face her, wiping away a tear. ”I’m Liu Lang’s mother. Comrade Su Wan, I heard you bullied my Zhi Zhi, so I came to see for myself.”
