NovelEnglishHe was so petty that Jiang Yao did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Jiang Yao held her phone and shook her head helplessly. Even Liang Yueze seemed aware of Lu Xingzhi's pettiness and jealousy. That was why he was scared to take more photos with her, so he left hurriedly.
"Why are you smiling so foolishly?" Mrs. Jiang asked curiously.
"I'm not."

Mrs. Lu said, "Just let him take his time. You have to rest. Don't tire yourself out. Go in and take a look for half an hour. Then come out and rest for a while."
She knew that Jiang Yao knew her limits. If it were a secret document from the army, Lu Xingzhi would not have brought it back. Jiang Yao would not have been so tactless as to take a peek. Therefore, Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu did not give Jiang Yao any particular advice.
As soon as Jiang Yao entered Lu Xingzhi's study, she noticed an additional item on Lu Xingzhi's study desk.
It was a photo that she took with him when they were traveling in Lanning. Previously, that photo had been placed in one of his favorite books on the bookshelf. When he was free, he would flip through that book.
In the photo, half of her face was exposed. There was a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of her nose. Her shawl was used to protect her from the sun. Her entire body was on Lu Xingzhi, as lazy as if she had no bones. His hands were wrapped around her waist, and his palms were on her lower abdomen.
She was smiling brightly at the camera, and he happened to be looking down at her.
The photo was taken with the help of another person, who was kind-hearted enough to take a few pictures of her and Lu Xingzhi.
That was Lu Xingzhi's favorite photo from their trip.
Lu Xingzhi liked that photo even more after discovering she was pregnant. That was the first photo of their family. The baby was still in her stomach, but it was already there, and his palm happened to protect the baby from the sun.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Jiang Yao entered the study the previous night, that photo was not on the desk. However, it was there that morning.
Jiang Yao did not have to think much to know that Lu Xingzhi had taken an old photo frame and framed it to put on the desk. He even placed it in the most conspicuous position on the desk. It was as if he was afraid that no one would be able to see it.
When Jiang Yao saw that photo, she thought of the photo of her and Liang Yueze. Lu Xingzhi had been so jealous.
Jiang Yao rummaged through the more conspicuous positions in Lu Xingzhi's study and could not find the things he brought back, so she went out. She guessed he might have brought them with him when he left in the morning.
However, Jiang Yao was puzzled. He knew that she would help look at them when she was free, so why did he still bring the information with him? He had already asked her to help. Would it not be faster if she helped look at them during the day?
Jiang Yao was mumbling in the study room when Mrs. Lu knocked on the door and called her. "Your phone is ringing. Professor Ouyang is calling you."
Jiang Yao opened the door to take the phone from Mrs. Lu. She pressed the answer button.
"They said that your documents were delivered a few days ago. Li Hong was there to take her letter, and so she helped you take it. Did you ask her to do that?" Professor Ouyang asked.
