Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

But Luo Dashan's mistake isn't bad enough to be so cruel that he can't even see his own grandchildren. Besides, Fang Pingying also understands how much an elderly man like him yearns to see his grandkids.

She kept silent for a moment before speaking up to Luo Dashan, "Dad, if you want to see Yaoyao and Ruirui, why don't you find some time to visit the city and see them? Just call me in advance, and I'll pick you up."

Luo Dashan indeed wanted to see the two little ones, but he was also afraid of going to the provincial city, worried that if Zhou Yunmei found out, she would make a fuss about coming along, and it would cause Fang Pingying trouble.

However, recalling the milky voices of the two little ones, Luo Dashan really longed to visit the city. He hesitated before asking Fang Pingying, "If I were to come over, would it be troublesome for you?"

Fang Pingying considered for a moment and then simply told the truth, "If you come by yourself, you won't be causing us any trouble."

The implication was clear; they only welcomed Luo Dashan alone.

Luo Dashan naturally understood Fang Pingying's meaning. After a moment of silence, he said, "I understand, if I go, I will go alone. I'll find a time, sort things out at home, and call you when I am sure about the visit."

"Okay." Seeing him say this, Fang Pingying smiled and agreed.

Fang Pingying and Luo Dashan chatted on the phone for a bit, mostly exchanging pleasantries and reminders for Luo Dashan to take good care of himself. After finishing the conversation, she hung up the phone.

At the time, Fang Ping'an and Li Yuchun were sitting in the living room and were aware that the call was from Luo Dashan.

After Fang Pingying hung up, Fang Ping'an sighed helplessly, "Your father-in-law, Luo Dashan, is actually a good man. It's just that his kindness is excessive to the point that he doesn't seem like a man at all, letting a woman run wild in the house."

Hearing this, Li Yuchun snidely remarked, "That's right, if I were a man and married a woman like Zhou Yunmei, I would have had to beat some sense into her. She's way too much, turning the house upside down."

Seeing Li Yuchun's vehemence, Fang Ping'an was concerned that Luo Zhiyong might come back and overhear, so he gestured to her to stop, "Let's leave it, now that Pingying and the others aren't involved in managing the house matters anymore. We'd better not talk about that side of the family too much in case Zhiyong comes back and overhears, he might not like it."

Li Yuchun glanced towards the doorway and grumbled, "Zhiyong is lucky to have married our Pingying. If he had married someone else, he could have ended up just like Luo Zhiming."

Fang Ping'an didn't confirm or deny this, but he actually shared the same view.

Speaking of the Luo Family, Li Yuchun naturally thought of Luo Zhiming and started gossiping with Fang Xiu, "Speaking of which, Luo Zhiming and Xu He have been married for a while now, and Xu He still hasn't gotten pregnant. Doesn't she suspect anything? She doesn't know that Luo Zhiming can't have children."

"Who knows about them," Fang Xiu said irritably upon hearing Luo Zhiming's name, "It's karma that Luo Zhiming can't father children. He ogles women as if he's never seen one in his life..."

When the conversation shifted to this topic, the family naturally chatted for a while.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Fang Pingying, seeing Luo Zhiyong's watch on the sofa, got up and winked at Fang Xiu with a smile, "Must be Zhiyong and the others coming back."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu's face flushed, and she instinctively smoothed her hair.

Indeed, as Fang Pingying opened the door, she saw Luo Zhiyong standing there. Eagerly anticipating and about to inquire, she then saw Zhou Guangsheng, with a flush face, walking out from behind Luo Zhiyong.

Apparently, Luo Zhiyong had made it very clear to him, and Guangsheng knew why he was here, which made him feel a bit embarrassed.

Fang Pingying smiled, "Come on in, we can talk inside."

After saying that, she deliberately called into the house, "Dad, Mom, Fang Xiu, Chief Zhou is here."

When Li Yuchun and the others heard that Zhou Guangsheng had arrived, they sensed that things were going to work out; they were overjoyed and immediately went to the door to greet him.

Zhou Guangsheng immediately shouted into the house, "Uncle, Auntie."

Seeing Fang Xiu standing in the back, he called out with a blushing face, "Xiu'er."

Fang Xiu's face turned red all the way to her neck as she looked at him and nodded lightly, "You... you're here."

After everyone entered the room and sat down, Zhou Guangsheng and Fang Xiu felt somewhat awkward among the family, and the room fell silent. For about half an hour, the only sounds were the babbling of the little ones.

Seeing this, Fang Pingying looked for an excuse to get Luo Zhiyong and the others out of the house, to leave Zhou Guangsheng and Fang Xiu alone to talk things through.

She called to Luo Zhiyong and Li Yuchun, "Zhiyong, Dad, Mom, weren't we saying earlier about taking the kids out to buy some things? It's still early, let's go now."

"Go ahead, go ahead," Luo Zhiyong and Fang Ping'an immediately agreed. They dressed the little ones and led them outside. Before leaving, Luo Zhiyong laughed and told the two, "Guangsheng, you and Xiu'er cook dinner tonight. We'll be back around seven o'clock, so have dinner ready for us at home."

After everyone left, only Zhou Guangsheng and Fang Xiu remained in the room, standing face to face in an incredibly awkward atmosphere.

With a blushing face, Fang Xiu finally managed to say a complete sentence, "Don't just stand there, have a seat."

After they sat down, silence persisted for a while. As time ticked by, neither found this situation workable, so they both tried to speak up at the same time.

Seeing each other's reaction, they both found it amusing and laughed simultaneously.

This laughter somewhat alleviated the awkwardness. Zhou Guangsheng seemed to find a bit more courage. He moved from sitting opposite Fang Xiu to sitting beside her. Then, as he reached for her hand, he said softly, "Xiu'er, don't marry Gao Sheng, be with me, I like you."

"You..." Upon hearing this, Fang Xiu's face turned even redder, resembling a piece of red cloth, but her expressions were joyous. Shyly looking at Zhou Guangsheng, she asked, "Really?"

Zhou Guangsheng nodded assuredly at her, "Yeah, actually since the day your brother-in-law moved, I saw you and took a liking to you."

In truth, Fang Xiu had also taken a liking to Zhou Guangsheng from that day on, but she had never dared to admit it. Now, hearing Zhou Guangsheng saying this, she was overjoyed.

However, recalling the huge gap lying between the two, Fang Xiu's expression turned worried again, unsure of how to proceed.

But no matter how hard it was to utter the words, Fang Xiu knew she had to speak up.

She lifted her head, looking at Zhou Guangsheng, and started hesitantly, "But I have a child…"

Zhou Guangsheng thought she was worried he wouldn't accept Haohao. He immediately responded with a smile, "I know, I quite like Haohao, and I will treat Haohao like my own son in the future. Haohao calls me 'Dad' too, right?"
