Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Can’t Help But Show Off Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Can’t Help But Show Off When Luo Qiao heard Lu Yichen say this, she laughed so hard she bent over backward, “If your colleagues heard this, they would probably gang up on you.”
Lu Yichen said, “Actually, whether it’s the police or soldiers in the army, because of their work, they rarely have time for home. So when most of them get home, they wish they could take over all the household chores.”
After he spoke, he immediately regretted it and looked up at Luo Qiao, saying with a certain determination, “Qiaoqiao, I might also not have time to take care of our home in the future, but I promise I’ll do all the chores when I’m there.”
Luo Qiao found this man really quite adorable, and with a playful pout she said, “It’s not like I’m just finding out about your job today. Are you saying this now because you want me to reconsider?”
Lu Yichen tossed the laundry he had been holding back into the basin, stood up, and pulled her into his arms, “You little troublemaker, you can say anything you want in the future, just don’t say things like that. You can call me selfish, or call me domineering if you want, but I’m not going to let go.”
Luo Qiao realized she had taken the joke too far and quickly smoothed things over, laughing, “Brother Chen, I won’t make such jokes in the future. You focus on your work, I definitely won’t hold you back.”
Luo Qiao knew what was on Lu Yichen’s mind. He had been unable to let go of his military uniform, and had finally adjusted to it, and now he was just as attached to his police uniform. Besides, she also liked watching him look dashing and resolute in his police uniform.
Lu Yichen held her in his arms and whispered, “Qiaoqiao, thank you. I will work hard and help you with the housework in the future.”
Luo Qiao burst into laughter at that, “Brother Chen, you’re getting a bit ahead of yourself.”
Lu Yichen said indulgently, “Not at all. Once you pass your exams and come back to the Capital, we’ll set a date for the wedding. Then it would be entirely proper for me to help you with anything.”
After their sweet moment, Lu Yichen wrung out and hung up the laundry from the basin. The room had warmed up, and he checked the time, “Qiaoqiao, what would you like for lunch?”
Luo Qiao answered, “Let’s stop by Green Affinity in a bit to pick up some food. Let’s have noodles in sauce for lunch.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than they heard Chang Xiaoe calling from outside the door, “Luo Qiao, I’ve brought you some vegetables.”
Luo Qiao grinned, “Sister-in-law, we were just about to go over there to get some. It’s troublesome for you to make another trip.”
Chang Xiaoe laughed, “It’s no trouble. I was coming over to see how you’ve settled in anyway.”
Luo Qiao glanced at the yard, “You all have kept it quite clean on normal days. We have not had much to do, just a bit of cleaning inside and lighting the stove. Thank you so much for this time.”
Chang Xiaoe quickly waved it off, “Don’t mention it. If it hadn’t been for you, I shudder to think where my family would be now. What we’re doing for you is nothing compared to your thanks.”
After chatting for a few more minutes, and seeing that Luo Qiao really didn’t need her help, Chang Xiaoe said, “Well, you two go on with your business, I’ll head back to the shop.”
After seeing Chang Xiaoe off, Luo Qiao looked at the items brought over, “This is quite comprehensive.”
Lu Yichen said, “Don’t you worry about it. Just sit there and give the orders.”
Luo Qiao teased, “Are you starting to take over the housework from now on?”
Lu Yichen chuckled, “Yeah, I’ve gotta show off my skills.”
One gave orders, and the other carried them out. Lu Yichen hadn’t been to the kitchen since he returned to the Capital, and it took him a while to get the hang of it again. But with Luo Qiao’s guidance, the food turned out to be quite delicious.
As Luo Qiao thought of Stone, she looked at Lu Yichen, “School will be starting soon, when is Stone coming back to the Capital?”
Lu Yichen replied, “My aunt phoned yesterday, she said we should pick him up from the station on the morning of the 18th of the first lunar month.”
Luo Qiao chuckled, “She has timed her return well.”
Lu Yichen smiled, “Grandpa wants to stay over there a few more days. It’s not easy to make that trip being so far away.”
Luo Qiao nodded, “Why not move grandma’s grave to Capital City?”
Lu Yichen looked out of the window, massaging his eyebrow, “Grandpa said that’s what grandma wanted, and when the time comes, he intends to be there with her too.”
After hearing this, Luo Qiao didn’t say any more. She just felt that she didn’t understand their commitment, perhaps this was love – willing to endure hardship for the sake of a beloved’s wishes.
