Chapter 133: Implying Something About Her, Right?
"Captain Lu, it’s been such a long time since I last saw you, salute!"
"Captain Lu, this must be your youngest son, right? A real chip off the old block, strong and robust. Little guy, are you going to join the army and be a soldier like your father when you grow up?"
"Let me hold him, he’s just so adorable."
...
A group of people chattered nonstop, and Lu Mingkai, having never seen such a scene before, felt a bit out of his element and looked at Shen Meng with anxious eyes.
"Don’t be afraid, son. The uncles and aunts like you. Will you play with them for a bit, okay?"
"Okay."
The moment his baby voice came out, it instantly melted everyone’s heart. Several people vied to hold him. A few military wives, seeing their own husbands acting like this, felt somewhat uncomfortable. At home, their own children could yearn for a hug without their husbands budging an inch, but now they’re eager to cuddle someone else’s child.
Shen Meng was a social butterfly. She had first honed her skills at reading the room around the dinner table. After sitting down, she smiled at the other military wives. They were all military wives, so it wouldn’t do to give them a cold shoulder. Besides, on the way there, her own husband had said Captain Lu was a leader in the army who took good care of them. And now that the wife had given them a smile, they couldn’t make things awkward for her.
"Really, at home, when you want dad to give you a hug, he wouldn’t, but now that we’re out, he turns into Mr. Popular."
