"Because of today's broadcast, the military region is busy, and arrangements have been made in the provincial capital, so I came back."

Cheng Baichuan put down what he was holding and reached out to pick up his daughter.

"Did Battalion Commander Shao and the others return as well?" Li Wanqing asked.

Cheng Baichuan nodded. "Except for the military region leaders and political commissar who went to a meeting in Beishi, everyone else has returned."

Li Wanqing frowned slightly. Cheng Chi went to Taipei?

I don't know when he had the accident in my past life. Could it just happen to be this time?

"When leaders travel, they always bring enough people with them, right?"

Cheng Baichuan nodded. "Yes, but why are you asking?"

When a leader travels, his itinerary and the people he travels with are kept secret; even he doesn't know about them.

Li Wanqing shrugged. "It's nothing, I was just curious."

"Moreover, with such a major incident, if someone tries to take advantage of the chaos to do something, the leaders will definitely be the first to be punished."

"I guess it's because he might be your biological father that I couldn't help but ask another question."

Cheng Baichuan smiled helplessly, "How could you still have such thoughts?"

Li Wanqing said with a serious expression, "Judging from the Cheng family's attitude towards you, they don't seem like your biological family at all."

"Even so, it has nothing to do with Chief Cheng," Cheng Baichuan said with a smile. "Don't say it again, it's not good for your reputation."

Li Wanqing pouted and glared at him, "Fine, fine, I won't say anything more, anyway, he's not my dad!"

Nuonuo's eyes darted around, and she immediately wrapped her arms around her father's neck.

"Grandpa, hello!"

Cheng Baichuan was utterly defeated by this mother and daughter. Ying'er was unharmed, and the two of them seemed to have no doubt about it.

Seeing that Cheng Baichuan didn't react, Nuonuo started swaying, and Cheng Baichuan almost lost his balance.

Fortunately, Li Wanqing helped him up, and the father and daughter didn't fall.

“Nono is also worried about Grandpa Cheng, isn’t she?” Li Wanqing winked at Nono, and Nono immediately understood.

"Yes~" Nono nodded emphatically, "Daddy~ um... Grandpa~ good!"

Still shaken, Cheng Baichuan couldn't understand Nuonuo's words at all. "I know Grandpa Cheng is nice, but what do you want me to do?"

Nono's face turned red with anxiety. "Stupid daddy!"

Li Wanqing raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and then said, "I think Nuonuo means that you should protect Chief Cheng well."

"Hmm!" Nuonuo breathed a heavy sigh of relief. If there is a mother-daughter bond, why isn't there a father-daughter bond?

Being a little kid is so tiring!

"What's wrong with you all? What are you all worried about?" Cheng Baichuan said, a little sourly.

He went to rehabilitation so many times by himself, and the mother and daughter never seemed worried.

It's surprising that they care so much about someone they've only met a few times!

Li Wanqing picked up her daughter, and both mother and daughter glared at him. "You call yourself a soldier? Don't you understand the importance of prevention?"

"Who knows if those people will retaliate fiercely?"

"For them, things couldn't get any worse."

Cheng Baichuan frowned slightly; what Li Wanqing said made sense.

In times like these, we should be especially cautious.

"I understand, I'll go find someone."

Cheng Baichuan sighed softly, "You guys always manage to create problems for me."

The commander's schedule is not something a mere battalion commander like him can adjust!

Li Wanqing and Nuonuo grinned at him and chuckled.

"My husband is the best!"

"Daddy's awesome!"

Cheng Baichuan blushed. Nuonuo was one thing, but Li Wanqing…

Are those words something you can just say casually?

But...hehe...it sounds pretty fun.

"I haven't eaten yet, shouldn't you let me eat first before you get to work?"

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Li Wanqing shoved her daughter into his arms. "You wait."

He then rushed into the kitchen.

......

Nuonuo grinned at Cheng Baichuan and reached out her little hand to pinch his shoulder.

...This mother and daughter....

Cheng Baichuan carried his daughter and slowly walked towards the kitchen, where Li Wanqing had already deftly fried two eggs.

"Just two more minutes!"

As Li Wanqing spoke, she poured boiling water into the pot. Then she took a handful of noodles from the cupboard and sprinkled them into the water.

Boiling water bubbled and spewed white foam.

Cheng Baichuan put his daughter on the stool and sat down himself.

Soon, Li Wanqing brought over a large bowl of noodles. "Here, eat up! I'll make more if you're not full!"

Nuonuo deftly handed him a pair of chopsticks, and Cheng Baichuan felt immense pressure.

"Please don't do this. I promised, and I will make the arrangements."

Li Wanqing and Nuonuo stood head to head, smiling at him.

"We believe you!"

Cheng Baichuan sighed, quickly finished the noodles, and hurried out the door.

Nono looked at her mother, her eyes shining with hope.

[Mom, will we be able to save Grandpa Cheng this time?]

"I don't know either," Li Wanqing said honestly. "We don't know what happened to your Grandpa Cheng in his past life either?"

"Was it this time that caused the accident?"

Even this time, whether they can be saved in the end is still unknown.

Nono nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite, looking troubled. "Sigh!"

Li Wanqing pinched her cheek and laughed, "Alright, we adults will take care of these things. You're just a little kid, so just eat, drink, and play."

......

The family's soy sauce was almost gone, so Li Wanqing took Nuonuo to the military service station.

Unexpectedly, the service station closed for the afternoon to celebrate the downfall of the four-man group!

With no other option, Li Wanqing could only take her daughter and head back.

Halfway there, they encountered the energetic Commander Xu.

"Comrade Wanqing, we've finally found you?"

Li Wanqing was completely confused. What did the head of the cultural troupe want with her?

Is it going to be another performance that military families have to prepare?

As a result, Commander Xu invited her to join the cultural troupe right away, which made Li Wanqing's lips twitch.

"Commander Xu, are you sure my mediocre skills won't hold the cultural troupe back?"

“How could that be!” Xu Ren said, patting his chest. “Comrade Wanqing is an outstanding comrade.”

Li Wanqing was speechless. What kind of logic was this?

"Commander Xu, it's not that I'm unwilling, you know my family situation."

"Cheng Baichuan is still recovering from his injury, and Nuonuo is still so young..."

Xu Ren smiled and said, "That's not a problem. Cheng Baichuan is a grown man; he can survive anywhere."

"As for Nono... you can bring her into the performing arts troupe."

Li Wanqing was speechless for a moment. This... doesn't seem like it's not impossible?

"However, I can only stay for a year at most." Li Wanqing's ambitions lay elsewhere; she would definitely take the college entrance examination a year from now.

Xu Ren was slightly taken aback. So many people were eager to join the performing arts troupe, but Li Wanqing didn't want to stay for long.

He is indeed an outstanding comrade with extremely high awareness.

"Comrade Li Wanqing, on behalf of the cultural troupe, I welcome you!" Xu Ren extended his hand, his face full of anticipation.

Li Wanqing reached out her hand in a daze, and she was still a little confused even after Xu Ren left.

Even more bewildered was Cheng Baichuan, who went out for a short while and found his wife had been kidnapped by the performing arts troupe!
