Military husband hasn't returned home for two years? He reads his daughter's heartfelt wor

After all, the capture of the enemy's intelligence chief had stirred up a ripple effect throughout Hunan Province, creating a chaotic mess.

The things to be dealt with must be numerous and complex, and this should be the busiest time.

Cheng Baichuan shrugged, a faint smile playing on his lips. "My task is to make the arrest. As for the subsequent interrogation, that's a matter for the Hunan provincial government to worry about."

"If I get too involved, I'm bound to be suspected of overstepping my bounds." His words carried a hint of detachment, as if all of this had little to do with him.

Upon hearing this, Li Wanqing frowned slightly, a hint of confusion and regret flashing in her eyes. "Isn't this just pushing away the credit that's already in your hands? Such opportunities are rare."

Her tone carried a hint of regret, but more so a feeling of injustice for Cheng Baichuan, given that this was a significant achievement.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Baichuan couldn't help but smile, his smile warm yet firm. "Don't worry, I'll get the credit that's rightfully mine, and I won't try to take credit that's not rightfully mine."

His gaze was deep, as if he could see into people's hearts. "I want to earn credit in the army, not in these tedious local affairs."

Upon hearing this, Li Wanqing lowered her head and pondered for a moment, gradually understanding Cheng Baichuan's intention.

Fortunately, Cheng Chi was there, so even if someone wanted to steal the credit, they couldn't.

Thinking about this, her mood gradually calmed down.

After eating and drinking her fill, Li Wanqing wanted to go to the restroom.

She had just thrown back the covers and was about to stand up when Cheng Baichuan came over nervously. "Where are you going? I'll take you there."

Li Wanqing was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "I need to go to the restroom. It's such a small thing, no need to trouble you."

However, Cheng Baichuan insisted on going with her, carefully helping her up, saying, "I'll go with you so I can feel at ease."

Li Wanqing: ...She only had a minor scrape on her shoulder; she's not at the point where she can't take care of herself.

Cheng Baichuan wouldn't budge an inch, and Li Wanqing had no choice but to let him have his way.

Back in the ward, Li Wanqing asked about Jiang Hong and was somewhat disappointed to learn that he was still alive.

"If I hadn't pulled back that shot, I would definitely be dead. He's really lucky to be alive," Li Wanqing exclaimed.

Cheng Baichuan tapped her forehead, his tone a mix of reproach and indulgence, "You should just marvel at how lucky you are to be alive!"

Li Wanqing rubbed her forehead and said defiantly, "I'm just smart, I react quickly in crucial moments."

She held her chin high, her face radiating confidence and pride.

Seeing her so full of energy, Cheng Baichuan finally smiled with relief.

He gently instructed, "Alright, alright, get some rest. We'll go back to the guesthouse tomorrow, and then back to the military region the day after. This matter is finally over."

Upon hearing this, Li Wanqing was somewhat surprised, "You're back so soon? I thought it would take at least ten days or half a month."

Cheng Baichuan smiled helplessly and said, "So, in your mind, I'm that inefficient?" His eyes held a hint of teasing and doting.

Li Wanqing quickly waved her hand in denial, "I didn't, don't frame me!" A blush rose on her face, making her look shy and adorable.

Seeing her serious expression, Cheng Baichuan couldn't help but burst into laughter. The laughter echoed in the ward, as if even the air itself had become warmer.

"Haha, you're so cute, just like Nuonuo." He pinched her nose, his eyes full of tenderness.

Li Wanqing patted his hand and teased, "Then should I call you Dad like Nuonuo?" Before she finished speaking, her face was already flushed.

Both of them were stunned for a moment upon hearing this. A subtle atmosphere filled the air, as if time itself had stood still.

Li Wanqing wanted to explain that she was joking, but before she could speak, Cheng Baichuan leaned down and pressed his lips against hers, lingering on her lips.

His kiss was tender and affectionate, as if he wanted to pour all his love into it.

Li Wanqing suddenly felt hot, and even her head felt dizzy as if it were being steamed by heat.

After a long while, Cheng Baichuan finally pulled away from her lips, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

"That won't do. I still prefer you to call me husband." His tone was full of doting and satisfaction.

Li Wanqing's face turned bright red, and she inwardly screamed like a groundhog: This man has finally figured it out!

Li Wanqing's face flushed crimson, her heart pounding as if countless groundhogs were screaming inside. This man has finally seen the light! An indescribable sweetness and happiness welled up within her.

Just as Li Wanqing was considering whether or not to pounce on him, Cheng Baichuan straightened the blankets for her and stepped back.

Li Wanqing felt a sense of indescribable loss and reluctance. "Even if we go back, there's no need to rush like this, is there?"

She actually wanted to buy some local specialties to take back, especially for Aunt Li, which had to be authentic.

Cheng Baichuan explained, "This matter has been handed over to Hunan Province. The military region needs to transfer Qin Qianqian here as soon as possible." His tone was serious and earnest.

Upon hearing Qin Qianqian's name again, Li Wanqing was still a little taken aback and murmured, "She's still alive?"

Cheng Baichuan paused in his work, then hummed in agreement. "The investigation isn't finished yet; we can't let anyone die."

A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. "But I've heard she's suffered quite a bit lately."

Li Wanqing shrank her neck, stuck out her tongue slightly, and didn't say anything more.

......

The next day, after being discharged from the hospital and returning to the guesthouse, Nuonuo followed Li Wanqing closely, going wherever she went.

She has never liked sleeping with others, but during her afternoon nap, she always snuggles close to her mother.

Meng Renjie knew about Li Wanqing's injury yesterday, and now that he saw that she was alright, he was finally relieved.

"You shouldn't be so impulsive next time. Look how scared Nuonuo is!" Meng Renjie admonished.

Li Wanqing nodded. She didn't really want to take the risk, but in that situation, she had no other choice.

Cheng Chi also came back, but he left after a short time.

Li Wanqing was about to return to the military region, so she wanted to buy some local specialties to take back with her, and also take Nuonuo out for a walk to relax.

Cheng Baichuan had no tasks in the afternoon, so he accompanied the mother and daughter to the department store.

The family of three shopped their way from the third floor of the department store all the way down to the first floor, and Cheng Baichuan's hands were already piled high with goods.

"Honey, you and Nuonuo rest here for a while. I'll go put the things in the car, and then I'll take you out for something nice to eat," Cheng Baichuan suggested.

He had indeed underestimated Li Wanqing's purchasing power. Luckily, he had brought a car today; otherwise, moving so much stuff would have been a real challenge for him.

Li Wanqing had no objections. Cheng Baichuan left with his things, and she sat with Nuonuo at the entrance of the department store on the first floor.

As soon as I sat down, a slightly familiar voice came from next to me.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Li Wanqing was speechless. How could it be her?
