2280: Birthday

Birthday

Jiang Yao also thought Jiang Lei was overbearing. He was most likely used to controlling her at home, so he traveled to Jindo City to manage Lu Xiaoxiao.1

Lu Xiaoxiao was not a young girl. It was natural for a young girl to fall in love.

Lu Xiaoxiao was several months older than Jiang Yao. People often ignored Lu Xiaoxiao's age because she was temperamental and good at acting coquettishly.

Jiang Yao was about to become a mother. Was Lu Xiaoxiao not allowed to fall in love?

Jiang Yao got into the car, and Lu Xiaoxiao spoke briefly before hanging up. Pregnant women were more tired than usual, so she leaned against the car window and fell asleep shortly after getting into the car.

The car was parked at the army base entrance when she woke up. Someone tapped on the car window. Jiang Yao turned her head and saw Lu Xingzhi's face.

"Young Master Lu came out to pick you up, Director Jiang," Big Ke teased her. "I don't know if he's afraid that Ah Lu and I will send you somewhere else."

Her husband was at the army base entrance when she returned from work. When he saw the car that she was in, he rushed over and knocked on the car window to check on her condition.

Jiang Yao pressed her lips together. Her heart was tinged with warmth.

Jiang Yao fell into Lu Xingzhi's arms as she opened the car door. He immediately asked, concerned, "Why did you doze off in the car? Are you exhausted? Didn't you take a break?"

"I spent the entire day in the specimen room and slept for a while. I didn't sleep because I felt unwell. I couldn't sleep on the way, and I don't remember falling asleep." Jiang Yao rested her head on his chest.

Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao's head and held her hand as they walked home together.

When the two of them arrived home, Mrs. Jiang was on the phone with someone. When she heard the noise at the door, she turned to see Jiang Yao standing there. She said, "Yaoyao is home. We'll discuss more tomorrow."

Mrs. Jiang hung up the phone and walked toward the door after saying that. She said, "I just heard what Xingzhi said. Did you doze off on the way? Is it because you've had a difficult day? Why don't you take some time off for the birth? Nothing is more important right now than your health."

"No need." Jiang Yao shook her head and asked casually, "Mom, who were you talking to just now?"

"I was talking to Madam Cheng."

Jiang Yao's mother said, "Yaoyao, Madam Cheng said that your birthday is coming soon, and she wants to celebrate it with you."

Jiang Yao's mother had no idea when Jiang Yao was born when she found her on the mountain. She had discussed with Mr. Jiang that the day she picked up Jiang Yao would be Jiang Yao's birthday, but she felt it was too hasty and would be too pitiful to use it as her birthday. As a result, Jiang Yao's birthday was determined by finding a good date in the calendar.

Jiang Yao's father and mother decided on an autumn birth date for her. Autumn was a time for harvesting. According to the superstitious people in the countryside, children born during that season were blessed and would never go hungry as adults.

By chance, Jiang Yao's actual birthday fell in early winter or late autumn. It was only a few days ago. Madam Cheng had never forgotten Jiang Yao's birthday.
