Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 82: Ningning, Are You Jealous?

When Gu Jia Ning got home, she heard Zhang Shuwan calling from next door, saying she was going to return the roast duck and chicken Jia Ning had sent.

"Sister Shu Wan, just take them and eat. I bought two whole ones, and I still have plenty. Don’t send back what I give you, or I’ll be upset."

She actually bought two!

Zhang Shuwan was shocked—it must have cost a lot. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

But hearing Jia Ning’s words, Zhang Shuwan felt helplessly amused and couldn’t send them back.

She could only return with the bowl, and as she turned, she saw Guoguo staring at the big bowl. Zhang Shuwan’s heart softened, thinking her daughter had never tasted such cooked foods before.

"Guoguo, do you want to try some?"

Guoguo hesitated for a moment, her eyes practically glued to them, her lips pursed, almost drooling, but she shook her head, "Guoguo won’t eat. I’ll wait for Daddy to come home and eat with Mommy and Daddy."

"What are you waiting to eat with Mommy and Daddy?" Lin Xing asked as soon as she returned, hearing her daughter’s words.

"It’s the roast duck and chicken that Jia Ning sent."

Lin Xing came in and saw it really was roast duck and chicken, "These are quite expensive and rare. Why did you accept them?"

Zhang Shuwan quickly explained the context, "Fine, since we’ve accepted them, next time I have something good, I’ll send it over to Jia Ning."

"That works."

So, the three of them enjoyed the fragrant roast duck and chicken.

"Guoguo, is it tasty?"

"Delicious, really delicious!"

"Honestly, it’s also my first time eating such delicious roast duck and chicken."

"Same here, it’s different from what I’ve had at the deli, much tastier."

Meanwhile, Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi were also enjoying the roast duck, chicken, and a tomato scrambled egg dish made by Sheng Zexi, along with some greens, eating together by the stove.

Gu Jia Ning chatted about what happened at the hospital that morning while eating.

Learning that his young wife had successfully performed the surgery on Cui Bin and received the validation from the hospital director and many doctors, Sheng Zexi felt relieved but also realized he might have underestimated his wife.

Ningning’s talent and skill in medicine were truly impressive!

Sheng Zexi thought he already understood Gu Jia Ning, but to his surprise, Ningning always brought new surprises when he thought he had figured her out.

It felt as if Gu Jia Ning were a book full of treasures, and every page he turned revealed a new treasure, delighting him and drawing him in more.

Endlessly talking, Gu Jia Ning didn’t notice how Sheng Zexi’s gaze towards her grew softer, filled with affection.

Gu Jia Ning also mentioned the military hospital’s intention to collaborate with her on the Stomach-Protecting Pills and rheumatism ointment.

"...Brother Xi, what should I do if they come to negotiate?"

Gu Jia Ning was uncertain about how to proceed with the cooperation specifically.

She had considered directly donating the formulas but ultimately dismissed the idea.

It’s not that she lacks patriotic feelings. Well, she has them, but perhaps not overwhelmingly.

She could afford to give the formulas, but she didn’t want to do it for free.

Perhaps it was because of the saying "bread fought for breeds contempt." She worried if she shared more in the future, they might assume she would always hand over for free.

If she refused, would it imply she wasn’t a good person?

Understanding this, Gu Jia Ning found it easier to decide: she could collaborate at a low cost, but not for free!

Also, she needed the money; she planned to save it up to do charity or donations in the future if she had the chance.

Having a second life and luckily being bound to the Childbirth System,

Gu Jia Ning always felt it was an opportunity from above.

So, if she had the ability, she would do more kind acts to give back.

"Ningning, you actually already have your decision in your heart. Just follow your heart, I trust you," Sheng Zexi wouldn’t interfere with any of Gu Jia Ning’s decisions, and no matter what she decided, he was unconditionally supportive of her.

"Alright, Brother Xi, thank you." Gu Jia Ning’s beautiful almond eyes sparkled as she looked at Sheng Zexi.

She felt Sheng Zexi was really wonderful, so good to her, considerate, caring, without any male chauvinism—a truly perfect good man.

In her past life, not choosing Sheng Zexi while being infatuated with Wen Zhqing was truly a blind choice.

After dinner, Sheng Zexi tidied up the dishes and went to boil water for Gu Jia Ning to wash up.

When they both sat on the stove-bed, with Gu Jia Ning’s feet soaking in the warm water Sheng Zexi brought, Gu Jia Ning talked about Peng Wenjing.

"...Sister-in-law Yu mentioned that Peng Wenjing likes you and has pursued you for several years. This time, maybe it’s because of you that she’s targeting me."

With her slender fingers, Gu Jia Ning lightly poked Sheng Zexi’s chest, pouting slightly, glancing at him as if to question, "Tell me, what’s the deal between you and that Wenjing, be honest!"

Seeing her so lively and playful, like an angry little cat, Sheng Zexi found it rare and interesting. He grabbed her slender fingers, eyes hot, staring at her, yet he responded by asking a different question, "Ningning, are you getting jealous?"

Jealous?

Gu Jia Ning widened her eyes, "I’m not jealous at all."

Sheng Zexi carefully observed Gu Jia Ning and found she truly wasn’t jealous, feeling a bit deflated, with the heat in his eyes dimming.

He could tell Gu Jia Ning truly wasn’t jealous.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing Sheng Zexi’s mood suddenly drop, Gu Jia Ning was puzzled, clearly she was the one questioning, so why did it seem like she was at fault?

With one long arm, Sheng Zexi pulled the petite Gu Jia Ning into his embrace, resting his chin on her shoulder like a dejected big dog, "Ningning, if you’re not jealous, does it mean you don’t like me yet?"

Huh?!!

Gu Jia Ning blinked, realizing Sheng Zexi’s logic, and felt amused and exasperated. She reached to pinch Sheng Zexi’s waist but couldn’t get a grip through his thick winter clothes.

While Gu Jia Ning was quietly thinking what a pity, Sheng Zexi caught her hand in the next second, slipped it under his clothes, placing it on his waist, and said pitifully, "Pinch it."

Gu Jia Ning couldn’t help but find it funny, but didn’t actually pinch; just feeling the firm waist under her palm, slightly warm, wanting to pull away, but her hand was held in place.

She said, "It’s because I trust you."

"I know when you like someone, you just like them. You won’t change, nor will you get involved with other women."

"What I just asked was just a joke."
