Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 60: Dress Up Well and Shock Their Eyes!
The letter to Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang wasn’t very long, but it was full of greetings to the two elders and also shared their daily life.
In the evening, when Sheng Zexi came in with food through the wind and snow, he didn’t see his little wife in the living room, but instead saw these two letters.
When he saw there was one written to his grandparents, his heart was slightly moved, and his gaze softened.
"You’re back."
The familiar soft voice made Sheng Zexi turn around and see the charming and graceful figure walking in.
"Yeah, I even got some food. I’ll stir-fry a meat dish later."
"You wrote a letter?"
"Yes, since we’re already here, we still need to write a letter to let them know we’re safe. But I plan to wait a couple of days, go around the local market, buy some local specialties, and send them over as New Year’s goods."
After all, it’s just over a month until the New Year, and the time it takes for letters to go back and forth is long, so not many can be written.
"Sure, you decide. Buy whatever you want. I just didn’t expect you’d write to my grandparents too."
Gu Jia Ning lightly glanced at him, "We’re married now, so they’re not just your grandparents, they’re my grandparents too. Besides, the two elders are not only good to you, they’re good to me as well. Isn’t it right to write to them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Jia Ning was embraced tightly by Sheng Zexi, "Ningning, thank you. I know, actually, you’re doing it for me."
The grandparents cared for Ningning because of their love for Sheng Zexi, and Ningning treated them with the same warmth.
"Grandpa and Grandma have always been kind to me. It’s just that I didn’t pay enough attention to them before."
Gu Jia Ning leaned against him, sighed softly, and said, "You have to train and go on missions. I believe they will understand. But now that you’re married, as your wife, it’s my duty to be filial to them."
Of course, there was another thing Gu Jia Ning didn’t say, which was because Grandpa Sang and Grandma Sang were really good elders.
If it were some difficult people, she wouldn’t say these things.
Just like Sheng Zexi’s disliked father and stepmother’s family, she wouldn’t bother with them.
"Alright, let’s eat."
"Okay, by the way, did you get food from the cafeteria at noon?"
...
In the little room, the couple chatted warmly, with Gu Jia Ning telling him about asking Sister Shu Wan about the heating issue and the solution.
"How about we set the date the second day after the big market?" Sheng Zexi asked.
"Okay."
After eating, Gu Jia Ning continued giving Sheng Zexi acupuncture treatment. On the stove, traditional medicine was brewing, which Sheng Zexi brought back when he returned.
A big bag, enough for half a month’s supply.
"On the housewarming day, I plan to take the pulses of everyone who comes over. What do you think?" Gu Jia Ning asked while giving acupuncture.
Although she prepared the ingredients, it was Sister Shu Wan who cooked, and Gu Jia Ning felt she had to show some skills, not wanting to embarrass Sheng Zexi.
On the housewarming day, those attending would surely be close colleagues and their families. She wanted them to think Sheng Zexi married a capable wife.
Currently, she had no other skills, just a pair of eyes capable of diagnosing any body ailment.
So, consider it a free check-up for them.
Moreover, if any issues were found, she could take them as patients. If they allowed her to treat them and were cured, she would earn points and rewards.
Two birds with one stone, isn’t it great?
Sheng Zexi: Having a housewarming feast and then checking pulses, this... sounds a bit odd.
However, seeing Ningning’s excited and eager eyes, Sheng Zexi couldn’t bring himself to refuse.
"Okay, let’s do that." At most, he would inform the invited colleagues and their families in advance.
Just let Ningning take a pulse and go through the motions.
Sheng Zexi didn’t expect Gu Jia Ning to actually find any problems since, although Ningning was treating him and had previously treated her sister-in-law for infertility, Sheng Zexi didn’t think the chances of them being cured were high.
After all, he’d seen expert doctors for his condition, and they were helpless.
Ningning was too young.
If Ningning could indeed cure him and her sister-in-law as she claimed, then she’d truly be a miracle doctor.
But Sheng Zexi still felt it was unlikely.
As for now, he was letting Ningning treat him only to support her and not let her down, so he let her try.
After all, you wouldn’t know success or failure without trying.
Gu Jia Ning was unaware of Sheng Zexi’s true thoughts. If she knew, she might just poke the needle into his sore spot to let him feel some pain for underestimating her.
Before sleep, the medicine was also done brewing.
Sheng Zexi obediently drank the medicine and boiled more water to give Gu Jia Ning a simple wash.
Though they couldn’t bathe, Gu Jia Ning insisted on cleaning daily with a towel. Otherwise, she’d find it unbearable.
After freshening up, they lay on the kang, embraced and slept.
Perhaps considering last night was Gu Jia Ning’s first time and hearing her complain about oversleeping today, occasionally rubbing her waist, Sheng Zexi suppressed his restless thoughts, his warm dry hands gently massaging her soft waist. Watching his wife fall asleep in his arms, he too drifted off...
-
Another morning, Sheng Zexi wasn’t by her side again.
Gu Jia Ning didn’t mind. She was quite a homebody, not good at socializing, and being unfamiliar with the place meant staying home alone was fine.
It was then that Zhang Shuwan knocked on her door, angrily informing her about the rumors about her in the military region.
They were spreading that she was an ugly monster who trapped Sheng Zexi.
"... How are these people seeing things? If you’re considered an ugly monster, then there are no good-looking people in the world. Are these people blind?" Zhang Shuwan was indignant for her.
After all, she knew Gu Jia Ning was genuinely beautiful, the prettiest person she had ever seen.
And Battalion Commander Sheng truly loved Jia Ning.
If it wasn’t true love, would a big man cook himself? Whenever she saw Battalion Commander Sheng looking at Jia Ning, the tenderness in his eyes seemed ready to turn to liquid.
Gu Jia Ning was initially upset that those people labeled her an ugly monster.
But seeing Zhang Shuwan so angry for her, she felt less upset.
Why get mad at irrelevant people?
"Jia Ning, it’s just because you don’t like going out. If you went out, you’d surely amaze them. Tomorrow’s the big market, dress up nicely, and shock them with your beauty."
Gu Jia Ning giggled and agreed.
She’s a great beauty and couldn’t let herself be called an ugly monster.
"I wonder who’s spreading nonsense." Zhang Shuwan muttered.
