Military husband hasn't returned home for two years? He reads his daughter's heartfelt wor
Chapter 71 I learned how to outsmart her!
Cheng Baichuan's face turned bright red. How could these words make him sound like a scumbag?
"No, I was just afraid of scaring you."
Li Wanqing tilted her head and smiled, "We've been married for so long, how could we be scared by this?"
Now that the original owner's identity has been accepted, some things will naturally fall into place.
Cheng Baichuan thought about it and actually felt that what she said made sense!
However, considering his current physical condition, he felt that some things could be done more slowly.
"You and Nuonuo don't need to come with me tomorrow. When you go to the service station, buy some candy while you're at it."
"Nono will probably have to take this medicine for a long time, and we can't stop giving her sugar at home."
Cheng Baichuan spoke in a serious tone, and Li Wanqing chuckled.
"Cheng Baichuan, are you afraid of me?"
That's why they couldn't wait to change the subject!
Cheng Baichuan paused, feeling the temperature on his face rising again after it had just cooled down.
"No! How could that be!"
Li Wanqing raised her hands and wrapped them around his neck.
With a slight downward pull, they found that Cheng Baichuan's neck was stiff and he didn't move an inch.
......
Li Wanqing refused to give up and pulled harder...
It still won't budge!
"You call that not afraid?" Li Wanqing teased.
She just wanted to test the waters, but it turned out she was being treated like a tyrannical bully.
“This isn’t fear, this is respect,” Cheng Baichuan said with a serious expression.
Li Wanqing was taken aback, then gave him a thumbs up, "I never thought that even a dignified King of Soldiers could have a moment of arguing."
Cheng Baichuan was slightly embarrassed, wanting to explain but unable to find the right words.
Li Wanqing yawned slightly and let go of her hand. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. It's time to rest."
Li Wanqing rolled up the blanket and turned her back.
Cheng Baichuan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to lie down on the bed when Li Wanqing turned over again.
"Battalion Commander Cheng, should we continue with the massage tonight?" Li Wanqing teased.
Cheng Baichuan's scalp tightened, and he shook his head. "No need, I've had enough exercise today."
Li Wanqing snorted and turned around.
She was exhausted after a long day and didn't have the energy to argue with him.
You little rascal! You've actually learned how to outsmart her!
Does this mean... their relationship could take another step forward?
As she was thinking, Li Wanqing actually fell asleep, unconsciously turning over and nestling into a broad chest.
Cheng Baichuan looked helplessly at the person in his arms and slightly adjusted the blanket behind her to prevent the cold wind from getting in.
Li Wanqing shifted, moving even closer.
Cheng Baichuan gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with doting affection.
After a good night's sleep, Li Wanqing woke up to the sound of a loud bugle call.
Looking up, Cheng Baichuan was no longer there, and the courtyard was still filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine.
Following the smell of medicine, Li Wanqing saw Cheng Baichuan squatting at the kitchen door, brewing medicine.
"Good morning!" Li Wanqing leaned against the pillar, smiling at him.
Why do you get up so early every day?
If it weren't for bugle calls, she could definitely sleep until noon every day.
She felt that she had been quite self-disciplined since arriving at the military region, but she never expected that Cheng Baichuan could get up before the bugle call almost every time.
Cheng Baichuan simply smiled faintly, "I'm used to it."
As she spoke, she pointed to the kitchen, "I've already bought breakfast from the cafeteria."
Li Wanqing smiled even more happily; she was just thinking of taking a break!
As the two were talking, Nuonuo came out rubbing her eyes, smiling and calling out, "Mommy~"
When Nuonuo saw Cheng Baichuan and the medicine jar next to him, her smile visibly froze for a moment.
"Daddy~ medicine?"
Although she wasn't afraid of taking medicine, it really didn't taste good.
Li Wanqing pinched her little nose. "Don't worry, Daddy said he'll prepare more candy for you."
Nono's eyes lit up immediately. Since there was candy, it wouldn't be a problem to drink the medicine a few more times.
After finishing breakfast and watching Nuonuo drink her medicine, Cheng Baichuan followed Xiao Wu out the door.
After tidying up the house, Li Wanqing took Nuonuo to the military service station when she saw that it was almost time.
The phone number He Mei left for her wasn't the commune's or the post office's number. Could it be that she had already left Renxing Brigade?
While playing with Nuonuo, Xiao Zhao chatted with Li Wanqing.
When it was almost time, Li Wanqing took Nuonuo to make a phone call.
The moment the call connected, before Li Wanqing could even speak, the other party spoke first.
"Wanqing?"
He Mei’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
Li Wanqing smiled slightly. "He Mei, it's me."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Mei's happy laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"Good heavens, I finally got your call! What were you doing yesterday? I've been looking for you all day."
“I took Cheng Baichuan to rehabilitation yesterday, and I also took Nuonuo for a check-up,” Li Wanqing replied.
He Mei became anxious upon hearing this, "What's wrong with Nuonuo? Is she sick again?"
Cheng Baichuan was not within her scope of concern; her goddaughter was more important.
"She's not sick, we're just taking her for a check-up and to get her body in better shape," Li Wanqing explained.
"Did you deliver Dr. Meng's letter?" Li Wanqing asked.
"Don't worry, I brought it. Dr. Meng also asked me to thank you."
Li Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief. With Dean Zhang's letter, she believed that Meng Renjie would definitely be able to persevere.
Today is October 3rd. If I remember correctly, in a few days, something that will shock the whole country will happen.
At that time, not only Dr. Meng, but also many others like Dr. Meng who cannot see the future, will be able to cheer up.
"Also, has there been any progress on the matter I asked you to keep an eye on?" Li Wanqing asked.
This matter is very important. Only by finding evidence that the Cheng family had contact with human traffickers can we make that old woman Liu Yufen pay the price.
“I’ve been keeping an eye on it, but I haven’t seen the Cheng family members in contact with anyone else these past few days.”
He Mei paused slightly, "However, not long after you left with Nuonuo, an aunt who claimed to be your mother-in-law's distant cousin came to the Cheng family."
Cousin?
Although the original owner was not very familiar with the Cheng family's interpersonal relationships, at least in the last two years, he had never heard of Liu Yufen having any distant cousins.
"He Mei, can you help me find out about that cousin?"
Her intuition told her that there was definitely something wrong with this "aunt".
“Okay!” He Mei agreed without hesitation. “However, that aunt doesn’t seem to be from Shou County. The investigation will take time.”
“Okay, call me as soon as you get any news.” Li Wanqing knew this wouldn’t be easy, so she didn’t expect Liu Yufen to pay the price immediately.
On the other end of the phone, He Mei, unaware of Li Wanqing's plans, asked hesitantly, "Wanqing, you're not still thinking about reconciling with the Cheng family, are you?"
"Let me tell you, if that's really what you think, I absolutely won't help you."
