Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Fang Pingying gave Luo Zhiyong a glance, wondering why this man sounded like he was being jealous.

Perhaps she was just too honest; having married him for so long, she seldom met any men other than her family relatives, so Fang Pingying had rarely seen Luo Zhiyong getting jealous.

However, even though this man was feeling jealous inside, he still managed to keep up a serious facade which amused Fang Pingying.

She stifled her laughter and explained to Luo Zhiyong, "I've actually known the young girl for a while; she frequents my shop to buy things."

Moreover, she deliberately only explained how she knew Xiao Ling, without mentioning Liu Fengsheng.

Of course, what Luo Zhiyong really wanted to know was how Fang Pingying met Liu Fengsheng, but since she didn't bring it up, he felt it would seem petty to keep asking about it.

It seemed as if he would get upset the moment Fang Pingying got to know any other man.

After mulling over it for a while, Luo Zhiyong finally spoke to Fang Pingying with a hint of displeasure, lecturing her, "You don't know these people well, don't get too close to them, there are many bad people in the world these days."

After saying his piece, he sat on the sofa in silence, looking somewhat frustrated.

At first, Fang Pingying looked at him and didn't say a word on purpose. After a while, she finally couldn't hold back her laughter any longer, then sat next to him, teasing him on purpose, "Are you jealous because Liu Fengsheng is good-looking and you feel unbalanced?"

Luo Zhiyong narrowed his eyes and glared at Fang Pingying, "He looks better than me?"

"Don't be so smug. A lot of women like that sort," Fang Pingying laughed and teased, "Unlike you, who always has a cold face, enough to scare everyone to death."

"It's none of my business what other women like. You just tell me what type you fancy," Luo Zhiyong said, his dark eyes fixing on Fang Pingying with a threatening look.

The implication was clear: if Fang Pingying dared to say Liu Fengsheng looked better than him, he would be angry.

This man! He might look mature, but when he gets stubborn, he's just like a little boy.

Fang Pingying glared at him without responding.

But Luo Zhiyong didn't let it slide, he stood up, approached her with a demeanor that seemed he might pounce at any moment, threatening her, "Are you going to say it or not?"

Out of options, Fang Pingying had to go along with him with a smile, "I like your type, are you happy now?"

This satisfied Luo Zhiyong, and a smile spread across his face.

Actually, it was not so much about jealousy, but rather he intuitively disliked Liu Fengsheng and indeed felt that Fang Pingying didn't know the man well enough to be associating with him carelessly.

After chatting with Fang Pingying, she explained to him how she had met the father and daughter duo. Luo Zhiyong nodded, then suddenly asked out loud, "Right, you called me last year just before you came here, and when I called back later, a man answered. Was that him?"

"That's right, I couldn't find a phone anywhere in town at that time. I happened to bump into the two of them and made the call from their house, I told you about this," Fang Pingying asked in utter surprise, "You couldn't possibly have such a good memory that you recognize someone's voice just from a brief call, could you?"

"Don't you even think about what your husband does for a living." Luo Zhiyong gave Fang Pingying a smug look, "When we're on a mission, we often have to track suspects just by a simple voice or a tone of speech."

Seeing Luo Zhiyong puffing up as if just saying he's fat would make him gasp, Fang Pingying laughed and patted him, "Stop bragging, I haven't seen you have such a sharp memory for people's voices in ordinary times."

Anyway, since he'd already went that far, Luo Zhiyong wasn't worried about Fang Pingying accusing him of being petty anymore, and he thought it was only natural for a man to be possessive about his wife.

Still uneasy about Liu Fengsheng, he blatantly began to inquire, "What does this man do for a living, and what about his wife?"

Fang Pingying thought for a moment, "It seems like he mentioned he was divorced. I'm not too clear on it, I never asked, but generally, I only see him with his daughter, never seen his wife."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiyong immediately became alert, dominantly looked at Fang Pingying, and commanded, "Don't get too close to them in the future."

"Don't be jealous for no reason." Fang Pingying still earnestly explained to him, "I'm just close to Xiao Ling, not very familiar with Liu Fengsheng, and he knows I'm married and have a child, what do you think he could be thinking?"

Luo Zhiyong thought about it and agreed, and he also trusted Fang Pingying, so he relented, "Then you just be careful and gauge the interaction. People nowadays are unpredictable, but it's still better not to interact too much."

Fang Pingying couldn't be bothered to argue. This man was as stubborn as a bull, so she just casually replied with a few words.

Fang Pingying rested at home for a few days, then had Li Aihua accompany her to the hospital for a check-up, making sure everything was fine. After that, she returned to the shop.

On the weekend, Luo Zhiyong had the day off, and he planned to make a nice meal for Fang Pingying and to clean up the house, do the laundry, and buy what was needed. Fang Pingying figured that in two more months, it would be time to give birth, so some things had to be prepared in advance.

But in the morning, Li Aihua came over and suggested that Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong visit their home for a meal.

Fang Pingying had known her for a while but had never been to her house. Li Aihua thought to take advantage of the weekend, since Luo Zhiyong and Zhao Longsheng didn't have to work, their families could enjoy a meal together. She also wanted Fang Pingying to visit her place, as she was planning to have Fang Pingying come to her house for postpartum care after giving birth, helping out with the baby.

Li Aihua had hired a nanny to cook, so they just needed to return home in time for the meal.

Luo Zhiyong was tidying things up at home, while Li Aihua and Fang Pingying went shopping. With the baby due soon, there were certainly things that needed to be bought beforehand.

Li Aihua, being experienced, knew exactly what items to purchase.

After browsing the mall for a while, Li Aihua worried that Fang Pingying might be tired, so they casually found a place to eat and rest.

Coincidentally, just as they were about to leave after resting, they ran into Luo Zhiming and Xu He embracing at the entrance of the mall.

Seeing Fang Pingying, Luo Zhiming immediately looked guilty, and then his gaze quickly shifted to her belly. Upon seeing Fang Pingying's still prominent belly, Luo Zhiming didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed, but he was relieved inside.

In fact, ever since returning from the provincial city, he had been restless, always worried that the Village Branch Secretary would call his family or that there would be a telegram, fearing the exposure of his deeds.

He had some regrets after what he had done. After all, it was his nephew, and it had been over six months, if anything had happened, he would have felt terribly guilty.
