776: I'd like to invite Lu Jing to dinner.

The table was already filled with a spread of dishes.

While they were talking, they heard the sound of a car.

Xiao Niannian heard footsteps and knew that her father-in-law and mother-in-law had returned.

"Dad, Mom..."

Everyone greeted each other.

"You came back just in time. Xiao Jing and Niannian made many dishes. Come quickly and try them."

Father Lu and Grandma Lu heard this and immediately walked over.

"We'll go wash our hands first."

After Mother Lu sat down, she looked at the dishes on the table and praised them.

"Niannian, you worked hard. Mom and Dad will cook for you tonight..."

Father Lu looked at the dishes and said happily.

"You worked hard. I must eat an extra bowl of rice."

Xiao Niannian looked at Grandma Lu and saw Grandma Lu wink at her.

She smiled.

After dinner, the family chatted in the living room.

Mother Lu looked at Xiao Niannian and said with concern.

"Mom thinks you've gotten thinner again. Have you been too busy lately? You must eat more. Let Xiao Jing handle more of the work... Xiao Jing, you need to take good care of your wife..."

Father Lu also agreed with his wife's words.

"Your mother is right. You should do more of the work and don't let your wife get tired. Your wife is so busy with work; you should help out more and do more of the chores at home..."

Listening to the elders' words, Xiao Niannian felt very touched.

Two days passed quickly. Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing also went back to the Gu Family for a meal.

"Captain Lu, we will arrive at the Capital City tonight..."

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing took their luggage and drove to the Guesthouse to wait.

After arriving at the Guesthouse, Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian registered with their documents. Just as they were about to enter their room, they saw Military Doctor Shen and Shen Yan.

"Brother Lu, Sister Xiao."

Shen Yan quickly walked toward them.

"I didn't expect you to arrive early. I thought you wouldn't get here until tomorrow morning."

Shen Yan's face was full of smiles.

Military Doctor Shen also smiled and greeted them.

"Old Lu, Junior Sister."

"We came a little early."

Xiao Niannian looked at Military Doctor Shen.

"Senior Brother, aren't you going home to visit?"

Military Doctor Shen said with a smile.

"We arrived this afternoon and already went back to visit. Everything here was arranged in advance..."

"That's hard work."

The group went into the room and discussed matters concerning the Military Unit.

Xiao Niannian took a bedsheet out of her spatial storage, spread it on the bed, and put on the pillowcases. She could endure any conditions in the wild, but now that she was in the Guesthouse, she had a slight obsession with cleanliness.

After sleeping, two or three hours had passed when she woke up.

Shen Yan's voice sounded from the next room.

"I even brought skewered mutton and beef from home. I wonder if Sister Xiao is awake yet."

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian knocked on the wall.

Shen Yan in the next room immediately stood up after hearing the sound.

"Sister Xiao is awake."

Xiao Niannian opened the door, and Shen Yan was already at her entrance.

"Sister Xiao, want some late-night snacks? It's cold outside right now, and having some barbecue would be really comfortable."

Xiao Niannian laughed.

"This is a Military Unit Guesthouse. You want to bring a stove over to grill barbecue?"

"I know the person in charge here, and I've already made arrangements..."

This kid is really something; he can make connections anywhere.

Xiao Niannian nodded.

"Okay."

Shen Yan smiled.

"Then Sister Xiao, you wait, I'll have someone bring the stove over."

"Don't bring it over. Let's just use the dining hall area. We can ask them to help make some late-night snacks so the Team Members can have an extra meal."

Xiao Niannian said, handing over a stack of money.

"Sister Xiao, don't worry about the money. I have cash."

"Even if you have money, take it. Your monthly expenses are high."

Shen Yan declined a few times, and Lu Jing's voice sounded.

"If your sister gives it to you, take it. This is for ordering the food..."

"Okay."

Shen Yan immediately accepted it and thanked her happily.

Xiao Niannian checked her watch. It was almost ten o'clock. She estimated that the Team Members should be arriving soon.

Xiao Niannian walked toward the door.

Lu Jing and Military Doctor Shen met someone they knew and were talking.

Xiao Niannian saw a Female Comrade walking toward her. When the Female Comrade saw her, she was slightly surprised and looked behind Xiao Niannian.

"Comrade Lu."

Xiao Niannian stopped, hearing the joyful voice.

Seeing Lu Jing made her this happy?

Lu Jing heard the voice and looked up.

He saw Liu Rong running toward them.

He saw his wife stop, watching the scene with great interest.

"Long time no see, Comrade Lu."

"Comrade Liu."

Lu Jing saw Liu Rong salute him, and he returned a military salute.

"Comrade Lu, when did you arrive? I heard you were in Yangcheng. I didn't expect to see you today... Have you eaten dinner? How about I invite you to the dining hall for a late-night snack?"

Liu Rong completely forgot about Military Doctor Shen and the others standing next to Lu Jing.

Military Doctor Shen looked at Liu Rong, his brows furrowing.

Liu Rong saw Military Doctor Shen frown, paused, and greeted him with a smile.

"Comrade Shen."

Military Doctor Shen nodded.

"Comrade Liu."

"No, thank you."

"No, thank you?"

She had finally managed to run into Lu Jing. Liu Rong heard that Lu Jing had been in the Yangcheng Special Forces for the past few years and hadn't heard anything about him getting married.

She had liked Lu Jing for several years, ever since she was in the Chengdu.

She didn't expect to meet him today. She wanted to invite Lu Jing to dinner and then confess her feelings to him again. Her last confession was also several years ago.

Lu Jing had rejected her before, but perhaps this time he wouldn't.

"Comrade Lu, Comrade Shen, come along together! We haven't seen each other in a long time. How can you refuse a dinner invitation from a Comrade-in-arms?"

When Liu Rong said this, she looked at Lu Jing with a hint of sorrow.

Lu Jing stepped back several paces while she was speaking.

"We are not familiar with each other. We won't eat."

Hearing Lu Jing speak, Liu Rong felt somewhat sad.

Lu Jing's words were still so hurtful! She had changed greatly since before, and she was much more outstanding now. Her physical fitness was currently the best among the female soldiers in their unit.

"Comrade Lu, Comrade Liu was just thinking about you earlier. Meeting like this is fate, so please do us the honor."

The person beside Liu Rong said with a smile.

However, the look he gave Liu Rong was very different, filled with affection.

Although Xiao Niannian was standing there, she heard everything these people said.

"The Team Members will be here soon. Let's go out and meet them."

Lu Jing ignored the person speaking and addressed Military Doctor Shen.

"Alright."

Military Doctor Shen followed Lu Jing and walked outside.

Liu Rong never expected Lu Jing to be so disrespectful to her in front of so many people. Her eyes instantly turned red.

Xiao Niannian saw Lu Jing walking toward her.

"Wife, don't misunderstand. I've never spoken to her alone. We are always in a group with several other people."

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian nodded.

"I believe you."

Military Doctor Shen heard this and laughed.

He was originally preparing to watch the show and then help put in a good word for Old Lu later.
