Military husband hasn't returned home for two years? He reads his daughter's heartfelt wor
Chapter 63 Turning the page or not caring?
After separating from Liang Zhicheng, Cheng Baichuan glanced at Nuonuo, who was already asleep in his arms.
"Was Nuonuo difficult to take care of back then?" Cheng Baichuan asked softly, his tone full of heartache.
Both were premature babies, and Nono must have suffered a lot back then.
Li Wanqing, pushing the wheelchair, paused, her brows furrowing and relaxing repeatedly before finally revealing a relieved smile.
"Back then, they were really difficult to take care of!"
Li Wanqing slowly pushed the wheelchair, her voice barely showing any emotion as she spoke.
“When Nuonuo was first born, she was sick every few days, and my mother-in-law wouldn’t let her see a doctor. I could only stay up with Nuonuo night after night.”
"The situation only got better when Nuonuo got a little older."
"Back then, we didn't eat or dress warmly enough, and we couldn't speak yet. When we were in pain, we would just whine and moan like a little kitten."
“Many times, I felt like I couldn’t go on, but then I thought, what would happen to Nuonuo if I were gone?”
These are all the original owner's memories, but the original owner ultimately couldn't hold on, leaving Nono with only a tragic fate.
Even though she didn't experience these things firsthand, looking back now, she can still feel the hardship involved.
She initially felt that since she wasn't the original owner of this body, those things were in the past and should be left in the past; she should look forward to the future.
But then I thought, even if Cheng Baichuan's absence over the past two years was unavoidable.
He should also know about the suffering that the original owner and her daughter endured.
Cheng Baichuan lowered his head slightly, feeling as if his heart was being squeezed tightly, painful and unable to breathe.
A glistening water droplet disappeared into the night. He took a deep breath, and when he looked up again, a faint smile was on his face.
"Wife, let's go home!"
Li Wanqing lowered her eyes slightly; Cheng Baichuan's reaction was something she hadn't expected.
I can't say whether I'm disappointed or heartbroken.
In short, she felt her heart was clenching.
On the way back, neither of them spoke again.
They opened and closed the door, then took their daughter back to her room to sleep. Silence filled the space between them.
When Li Wanqing came out of her daughter's room, she found that Cheng Baichuan was not there.
Upon going outside, all I saw was a person in a wheelchair in the courtyard, facing a dark mountain range whose outlines could be vaguely seen in the distance.
"Why aren't you waiting inside? What are you looking at here?" Li Wanqing asked curiously.
What's so interesting about a mountain that's completely dark?
Cheng Baichuan turned his head and looked into her eyes, which were filled with disappointment and confusion.
“In the past, I thought that as long as I could guard the mountains on the border of the country, I would be guarding my home.”
"But when I turned around, I realized that I hadn't actually protected my home at all."
If he had been more thoughtful back then, Li Wanqing and her daughter wouldn't have suffered so much.
He should at least have explained his attitude toward the Cheng family to Li Wanqing, so that Li Wanqing wouldn't have to endure two years of hardship and grievance.
In fact, he knew from a very early age that the Cheng family had no blood ties or affection for him.
He wasn't surprised at all by the cold-blooded attitude of the Cheng family when he got into trouble this time.
He only regretted that he couldn't protect Li Wanqing and her daughter.
Even a fool would know that if the Cheng family treated him so coldly, how could they possibly treat his wife and children well!
Li Wanqing frowned slightly; she disliked this feeling of regret.
If regret were useful, there wouldn't be so many accidents in the world.
"The past can't be changed, but there are still opportunities in the future. Are you sure you want to continue like this?"
If that's the case, she might as well live alone with Nuonuo!
Cheng Baichuan was startled, his mind cleared instantly, and he decisively shook his head.
"Daughter-in-law, I was wrong."
He shouldn't have let his frustration trap him in the past and let those negative emotions show.
"Now that you know, let's go back inside." Li Wanqing rubbed her arms. "It's getting cold, let's make Nuonuo wear long sleeves tomorrow."
With that, Li Wanqing pushed the wheelchair and the person back into the house.
After washing up, Li Wanqing began to massage Cheng Baichuan, and even hummed a song in a good mood.
......
Looking at his wife, who seemed completely unaffected by his mood, Cheng Baichuan felt a mix of emotions.
Is this the end of the story?
Or... do you not care?
“When we go to the military hospital tomorrow, I’d like to take Nuonuo to the provincial hospital as well,” Li Wanqing said while giving her a massage.
I've been wanting to take Nuonuo there for a while, but I've been too busy lately and haven't had the time.
And Dr. Meng's letter, which we never had the chance to send out.
Cheng Baichuan's scattered thoughts gathered, and he nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll go with you after I finish my rehabilitation."
“No need,” Li Wanqing said, standing up and stretching her fingers. “You can do your rehabilitation, I’ll take Nuonuo with me.”
"No way!" Cheng Baichuan sat up abruptly, his voice rising two octaves.
"Either we go together after I finish my rehabilitation, or I take Nuonuo to the provincial hospital first, and then go back to the military hospital for rehabilitation."
He has already missed a lot of Nuonuo's growth and doesn't want to miss out on it again.
Li Wanqing: ...If it doesn't work, it doesn't work!
Why are you yelling so loudly?
“I just thought this would save some time,” Li Wanqing explained.
It takes about 2 hours to get from the military hospital to the provincial hospital, and Cheng Baichuan's rehabilitation process takes about 2 hours in total.
If we don't get together, isn't that just a waste of time?
Cheng Baichuan pursed his lips, his attitude very firm, "Then it won't make a difference if you spend two hours. I can take you and your daughter to look around the provincial capital."
He has no other tasks besides investigating Qin Qianqian's matter.
In addition, he is still recovering from his injury, so it wouldn't matter if he took a day off and stayed overnight in the provincial capital.
Li Wanqing's eyes lit up; this was a good idea.
"Alright then, I'll tell Xiao Wu first thing tomorrow morning to take us to the military hospital and then come back first."
That car was borrowed from the division headquarters, just to make it easier for Cheng Baichuan to go to the military hospital for rehabilitation; it wasn't their private car.
Her family needed to go to the provincial hospital, which required them to take a bus from the bus station, so she didn't want Cheng Baichuan to go with them and go through the hassle.
Cheng Baichuan shook his head. "No need. We'll just let the regimental headquarters know."
"Let Xiao Wu take us to the provincial hospital, and then we'll take the military region's procurement vehicle back."
Li Wanqing hadn't expected this method. "Alright, but don't get impatient waiting."
Nono's first checkup will definitely involve many tests.
Most men don't have the patience to wait like that.
Cheng Baichuan's eyebrows lifted, and he laughed, "You underestimate me. I'm a man who crawled in the rainforest for a full half month."
Li Wanqing's eyes widened in shock, and she raised her hands in a fist salute with an expression of adoration.
"Disrespect! Disrespect!"
She forgot that this guy was a very powerful elite soldier!
Patience should be one of his most basic qualities!
