Mrs. Lu could guess Lu Xingzhi's thoughts at the time. He probably figured that he couldn't escape from these series of dating nightmares, so instead of fighting against his mother all the time, it was better to marry his mother's choice of daughter-in-law. Perhaps Lu Xingzhi had even thought about ditching his wife at home with his parents and going to the base to have his own life.
Mrs. Lu didn't even know how exactly Lu Xingzhi got to know Jiang Yao and when he had fallen for her. Later, Lu Xingzhi used all the tricks up his sleeve to convince the lady to cancel their marriage arrangement and pleaded to his parents that he wanted to marry Jiang Yao very badly. It was as if she was the only one he wanted to be with.
In the beginning, Mrs. Lu didn't like Jiang Yao very much, particularly because of her young age. She just turned eighteen, which was the legal age to obtain a marriage certificate.
Finally, she agreed to the marriage. In addition to Lu Xingzhi's perseverance, she liked Jiang Yao because she excelled academically. As a teacher, Mrs. Lu liked students with good grades. Jiang Yao would one day become a college student, which meant she was on the same academic level as her son. In this way, she was a better choice than the previous lady.
After Jiang Yao ended the call, she walked up the stairs. When she was only halfway through, she encountered Lu Xiaoxiao, who suddenly jumped out to scare her.
"Haha, Sister, you're such a coward!" Lu Xiaoxiao giggled like a mischievous three-year-old brat as she looked at Jiang Yao's surprised and scared look. She moved closer to Jiang Yao and poked her belly as she teased, "It hasn't even been a day yet since Xingzhi has gone back to the base and you miss him already? You even want him to call you here!"
"What? Can't I do that?" Jiang Yao rolled her eyes in a fit of exasperation. "How old are you? Twenty? Two? Why are you so childish?"
