A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

Anning wasn't one to procrastinate. Since the child had already agreed, she immediately went to tell Li Bowen her decision after Xiao Ni'er left.

Li Bowen nodded after hearing this and told An Ning that someone would accompany her on the way, then let her leave.

Subsequently, Anning wrote a letter to Chen Hai informing him of the situation.

Of course, she didn't say much, only that since the organization was willing to entrust her with this important task, she was willing to complete it.

As for the time she was away studying, there was no way they could keep in touch. She wasn't sure if it would affect their relationship. After all, they hadn't known each other for very long. She didn't think that just a few days could make them fall head over heels in love. Time would gradually diminish the little flame that had ignited in their hearts until it was extinguished.

What An Ning didn't know was that after receiving her reply, Li Bowen immediately called Song Wenyuan.

"Your wife agreed."

"That's fine."

"You're not afraid she'll be angry if she finds out you're going to do this without telling her?"

"That's nothing for you to worry about."

"Song Wenyuan, let me tell you, this is called discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose!"

"I wouldn't dare."

"What wouldn't you dare to do after you've already done it?"

"What I mean is, I dare not call you a donkey, nor dare I kill you."

Li Bowen: "...Get the hell out of here!"

"receive."

Li Bowen hung up the phone, nearly dying of anger.

Damn it, he really owes this kid a debt!

If it weren't for this kid, none of this mess would have happened!

Without this kid, Shanshan wouldn't have done such a stupid thing, and he wouldn't have had to compete with others for this rare opportunity.

However, the main reason is that Comrade Shen Anning is truly a woman of integrity, and her achievements speak for themselves. When he proposed her, many people who had no interest in this lucrative position agreed with him.

If you were to ask him to give up his position to an ordinary military wife, it would be easier for him to give up his own position to her.

After finishing all this, Anning went home to wait for news.

Although she was told to go and learn on her own, she still needed to contact the toy factory across the street. The key was to coordinate with the situation on the underground production line, so she estimated that she probably wouldn't be able to leave so soon.

When Shen Changle returned home, having mentally prepared herself, she saw her mother was still there and stared wide-eyed: "Mom, didn't you leave?"

When did Mom tell you I was leaving?

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Shen Changle's face: "I saw you go out after you got home this afternoon."

Anning chuckled and pinched her little cheek: "Mommy sent a letter to Uncle Chen Hai before the New Year, asking him to help you get parts for your helicopter. Now that I'm leaving, I definitely have to tell him! Mommy just went to mail a letter to Uncle Chen Hai."

"Oh—" Shen Changle was happy again after getting her things back. "When is Mom leaving?"

"It might take some time, mainly depending on what we hear from higher-ups. Don't worry too much, Mom will definitely tell you before she leaves."

"Mom, when will Uncle Chen Hai send over the helicopter parts?"

She hasn't flown a helicopter in a long time, and she feels sad every day when she sees a broken helicopter.

"It mainly depends on Uncle Chen Hai's situation. He needs to find materials to make an identical part so that Mom can assemble it!"

"OK then!"

Although somewhat disappointed, Shen Changle quickly accepted the result.

Her mother never broke her promises; it was just a little slow. Her little plane should be fixed soon.

Anning received a letter from Chen Hai the next day. However, the letter had been sent before she sent it. It did not mention that she was going to study in Guangdong Province, but the helicopter parts were included in the envelope. Anning only needed to replace the broken parts and put on the new ones.

Two days later, she received a second letter from Chen Hai.

In the letter, Chen Hai first congratulated her on getting this opportunity, and then asked about the child.

An Ning initially followed Zhao Xuemei's suggestion, thinking of leaving Xiao Ni'er in the army and having Zhao Xuemei help take care of her. However, Chen Hai proposed a new idea—to take the child with them and have some fun in Guangdong Province.

His words reminded An Ning that this was not the era before, when there were strict regulations on the travel of public officials; now, it was common for people to travel at public expense.

Bringing a child is no big deal as long as the boss allows it.

Besides, given her situation, her husband is away on a mission and not at home, and her child is still young, not even six years old yet. How can she feel at ease leaving such a young child at home?

If this is feasible, Anning will be much more at ease.

Although she trusted Zhao Xuemei's character, she was always worried about the possibility of something going wrong. She felt something was missing because Zhao Xuemei wasn't by her child's side.

With that in mind, she simply went to find Yan Fei again and met with Li Bowen.

Li Bowen indeed had no objections to this matter. He said cheerfully, "I originally planned to bring this up with you after the time was confirmed, but since you're here, it's fine to finalize it earlier. If you don't mind bringing the child along, that's fine too. It's all for the sake of covering up the underground production line, and having the child with you will avert suspicion. If you find taking care of the child tiring, you can leave him at my place, and I can take care of him for a while. Although I'm not always home, my wife is always there, so you can absolutely rest assured about that."

Anning naturally chose to take the child with her.

After this matter was settled, she felt much more relaxed and her mind was no longer so tense.

However, just as she was about to go back and tell her daughter the good news, she heard some rumors on the way.
