I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 809 - 808: This Man Is Truly Warm

Luo Xudong also did not expect Zhan Lanqi to visit his home. Upon seeing her, he furrowed his brows slightly but refrained from speaking when he heard her mention the task.When Beisitian came out, she saw a glamorous woman in military uniform talking to Luo Xudong. She also heard her words from inside the house and confirmed her identity.

"You must be Sister-in-law, right? Hello, because Commander Luo never accepts gifts, I didn’t dare to offend, so besides the snacks for the kids, I didn’t bring any gifts. Please don’t mind my lack of manners!" Zhan Lanqi playfully stuck out her tongue, acting as if it was all Commander Luo’s fault.

"Please have a seat." Beisitian responded with a smile, not addressing the rest of her comments.

"Alright."

Zhan Lanqi had just sat down when the three little ones came out of the house, curiously looking at this unfamiliar aunt.

Zhan Lanqi’s eyes brightened as she turned to Luo Xudong and said, "Commander Luo, are these your three children? They are so adorable! Come here, little ones, Auntie has brought you some goodies!"

The three little ones glanced at their parents and then ran over, stopping a meter away from Zhan Lanqi, staring at her with round, shiny eyes.

Zhan Lanqi laughed and pulled out snacks from the bag, including jelly, cookies, and candies—all kinds of stuff for kids.

She grabbed a handful of snacks, held them out, and gleefully said, "Come over, darlings, come to Auntie, Auntie has yummy snacks for you~"

The three little ones looked at each other without moving.

Zhan Lanqi smiled, noting that the little ones were still shy, but she didn’t give up and continued using snacks to tempt them since kids have almost no resistance to goodies.

"Turns out she’s a weird aunt." Luo Yiqian said, scrunching her nose.

Zhan Lanqi’s smile stiffened.

Luo Yirui glanced at the pile of snacks and said, tilting his head, "Auntie, don’t you know that eating too many snacks is bad for kids’ health?"

Zhan Lanqi’s hand holding the snacks paused, almost losing her smile.

Luo Yixuan smiled, delivering the final verdict, "She’s just trying to please us."

Pfft...

Zhan Lanqi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, wondering where these cheeky kids came from—if they don’t want to eat, why so many opinions!

Luo Xudong chuckled softly and gestured to the three little ones, who scampered over.

"You’re doing the right thing. You shouldn’t eat things from strangers, and even from familiar people, you should listen to Mom."

Zhan Lanqi had just swallowed her previous mouthful of blood, only to nearly spit out another upon hearing Luo Xudong’s words. She thought the last comment from the cheeky kid was the final blow, but didn’t expect the fatal hit was waiting here!

However, speaking of which, the head’s low laughter just now was really nice. She had rarely seen Luo Xudong smile, always with a cold face, no curve at the corner of his mouth!

After educating the kids, Luo Xudong turned to Zhan Lanqi and said, "I told you I don’t accept things from anyone, even for the kids. You should take these back." The reason he waited until now to speak was to see the reaction of the three little ones.

"Understood... Commander." Zhan Lanqi awkwardly smiled, surprisingly not feeling very embarrassed due to Luo Xudong’s solemnness.

Once Gao Ma brewed the tea, Beisitian asked her and Sister-in-law Mo to take the three kids to the courtyard, leaving just the three of them in the room.

"Commander Luo, shall we discuss this task?" Zhan Lanqi said, glancing at Beisitian.

However, even as a wife, one shouldn’t ask too much about tasks—it’s protocol and discipline. As a military family, she should know this. But Beisitian didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving.

"Commander, look..." Zhan Lanqi turned to Luo Xudong.

Luo Xudong remained silent, sipping his tea.

Zhan Lanqi was already accustomed to Luo Xudong’s indifferent and taciturn nature.

But this task indeed shouldn’t be known by outsiders, so Zhan Lanqi looked at Beisitian with an embarrassed expression and said, "Sister-in-law, I’m sorry, since this involves confidential matters, this... this cannot be known to those outside the task, do you think you could give us some privacy?"

Beisitian put down her teacup, smiled slightly, and calmly said, "Since it’s a confidential matter, why come to my home to discuss it?"

Zhan Lanqi was at a loss for words.

"Major Zhan is new, right? Probably doesn’t know Xudong’s protocol. He never brings work home, and during home time, he only spends it with family." Beisitian said with a smile.

Her pace was unhurried, leisurely, without rush or anger. Her tone even carried lightness, making her emotions hard to discern, but the meaning of her words was crystal clear.

Zhan Lanqi was force-fed dog food, and finally couldn’t help examining this military wife.

Beisitian gave her the first impression of being beautiful, very beautiful, causing her slight surprise, though she didn’t dwell on it. In terms of looks, she had beauty too, and slightly excelled.

She just didn’t expect Beisitian to be so sharp-tongued with strong mental acuity.

Zhan Lanqi looked at Luo Xudong, noticing him staring down silently, and smiled wryly: "Indeed, I’ve been careless. But this clue is too crucial for this task. As soon as I found it, I rushed here, letting Sister-in-law down, as Sister-in-law rightly pointed out, it was my mistake."

Seeing Zhan Lanqi looking apologetic, Beisitian admired her wakefulness a bit more—this woman wasn’t easy.

"You should go first, I’ll be there shortly." Luo Xudong said.

Zhan Lanqi’s spirits lifted, she quickly nodded: "Alright, I’ll wait for you at the unit."

I’ll wait for you at the unit...

Beisitian felt like she said it deliberately, but on the surface, Zhan Lanqi showed no signs.

Luo Xudong stood up, and Zhan Lanqi thought he was going to see her off, hurriedly said: "Commander Luo, no need to see me off, we’ll meet shortly."

Luo Xudong gave her a cold side glance, didn’t say anything, went to Beisitian, leaned forward on the back of the single-seater couch, bent and planted a kiss on her forehead, and said softly, "I’ll be back for lunch."

Behind, Zhan Lanqi saw this scene, her hands hanging at her sides clenched into fists, then quickly released.

Beisitian smiled and nodded, softly replied, "I’ll wait for you to come home for lunch."

The two seemed to have forgotten there was still someone in the room, indulging themselves and feeding dog food, some people were again filled to the brim.

Zhan Lanqi left the small courtyard, and after changing clothes, Luo Xudong also left.

Beisitian looked at his tall, handsome back, smiled warmly—the last kiss, he did it on purpose, to show Zhan Lanqi he noticed Zhan Lanqi was deliberately teasing her.

This man is really warm.
