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

"You need to see him?" Li Wanqing asked, deliberately keeping a cold face.

Qin Qianqian's heart skipped a beat, and then she gave an awkward yet polite smile.

"Sister-in-law, you're joking. It's just my first time visiting your home, and I'm just a little curious."

Qin Qianqian raised her hand, glanced at her watch, and said, "It's getting late, I'll be going now."

"Come in and have a glass of water!" Li Wanqing invited politely.

Qin Qianqian shook her head, regardless of whether Li Wanqing was sincere or not.

She can't stay here any longer.

Having finally gained Li Wanqing's favor, she didn't want it to be ruined by carelessness.

Qin Qianqian insisted, so Li Wanqing naturally didn't linger and politely saw her out.

The smile on his face faded only after he could no longer see anyone.

Acting is so tiring!

Li Wanqing frowned. Was Qin Qianqian still hopeful for her man, or did she have other plans?

Unable to figure it out, Li Wanqing simply stopped thinking about it.

Looking at the empty garden, it was indeed a bit suspicious that Cheng Baichuan wasn't home at this hour.

Today was her first day at work. When she left home in the morning, Cheng Baichuan told her that he would arrange dinner in advance.

Now that everything's cold and deserted, is this a case of being forced to act prematurely?

Nono woke up and ran out of the house with a "patter" sound.

The little one tugged at his mother's clothes, tilted his head back, and pitifully rubbed his belly.

"Mommy~ I'm hungry~"

Li Wanqing put aside her worries, smiled, and picked up her daughter, saying, "Come on, Mom will make you something delicious."

Only by being self-sufficient can one have enough to eat and wear. Men... are indeed unreliable.

Li Wanqing cooked a pot of porridge made from chopped vegetable leaves and made two pancakes with a mixture of flour, which was enough for the mother and daughter.

As for Cheng Baichuan...

I'm sorry, that's not part of her plan.

After the mother and daughter finished dinner, they played for a while, and it was almost dark, but there was still no sign of Cheng Baichuan.

Nono started to worry, "Mommy~ Where's Daddy?"

Li Wanqing ruffled her daughter's hair, feeling a little worried herself.

Cheng Baichuan has never left home without saying goodbye like he did today.

unless......

Something so urgent happened that he didn't even have time to leave a note.

"Daddy might be busy, so Mommy will play with you, okay?"

Nono glanced at the doorway, nodded, and took her mother's hand to walk into the house.

While Li Wanqing was still wondering what to play, the little guy simply took out the flashcards.

"Mommy, you can read!"

Li Wanqing patted her head, surprised that she was such a studious little one.

"Okay, let's learn some new Chinese characters today, shall we?"

Nono's eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly, "Mmm~~"

Its soft and fluffy appearance... who could resist it!

"Come on!"

Li Wanqing kissed her daughter hard on the cheek, and the old mother's heart melted completely.

"My daughter is so cute!"

Nono felt happy too as she watched her mother giggle.

......

Li Wanqing taught Nuonuo five new Chinese characters and a children's song.

Cheng Baichuan never returned, nor did he bring back any news.

Nono was so sleepy that her eyelids were almost too heavy to keep open.

"Nono, Mommy will put you to sleep first," Li Wanqing said softly.

Nuonuo propped her little face up with a delicate yawn, squinted her eyes, and shook her head.

"Wait for Dad!"

Li Wanqing glanced outside, her brows furrowed.

It seems things are quite complicated, otherwise they wouldn't be so late and still not back.

Boom!

Li Wanqing turned around and saw that the little guy had completely given up and was lying on the table.

Li Wanqing sighed softly and carefully picked up her daughter and carried her back to her room.

It was already past midnight when she finally settled the child in. Li Wanqing yawned, but still feeling uneasy, she simply put on a coat and went to check on the child at the door.

Outside the dim yellow light, it was pitch black, and there wasn't a soul in sight on the quiet road.

Are they not coming back tonight?

Just as I was pulling my clothes together and preparing to go back inside, I saw a faint light flickering in the distance.

Its flickering appearance is somewhat like... the legendary will-o'-the-wisp.

Li Wanqing felt a chill in her heart and was so frightened that she couldn't move her legs.

As the "ghost fire" drew closer, Li Wanqing tightly closed her eyes and silently chanted in her mind:

I am a teacher, a materialist, and a believer in science.

There are no ghosts or monsters in this world; this is simply the spontaneous combustion of natural phosphorus.

......

To hell with natural phosphorus spontaneous combustion!

It's already October, the weather is getting cold, and the ignition point isn't even reached.

Moreover, she herself was a transmigrator who was reborn...

and many more!

Li Wanqing suddenly opened her eyes. She herself had been reborn, and in a sense, she was a ghost... right?

They're all the same kind of people, what's she afraid of!

It was really scary; I was completely stunned.

If she were a ghost, she might even be able to send a message to the King of Hell, asking him to send that scumbag over here so she could torment him.

Thinking about this, Li Wanqing felt a little excited.

That scoundrel made a fool of her in his past life; she just exposed him.

How is that enough?

Li Wanqing looked up at the "ghost fire," only to find that it had disappeared.

Under the dim yellow light, a figure was slowly elongated.

Cheng Baichuan?

Li Wanqing rubbed her eyes, took a few steps forward, and after confirming that it was indeed Cheng Baichuan, she quickly went to meet him.

"What happened? Why are you so late?"

He was leaning on a cane with one hand and holding a flashlight in the other.

It seems the light we saw earlier wasn't a will-o'-the-wisp at all; it was clearly the light from a flashlight.

Cheng Baichuan looked at her calmly but with deep eyes, "Wife, you've done a great job."

Li Wanqing was completely bewildered. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

She's been at the performing arts troupe all day; where can she possibly earn merit?

"Hurry home, Nuonuo waited for you all night and fell asleep because she couldn't stay awake any longer."

Li Wanqing tugged at Cheng Baichuan, but couldn't budge him, so she simply let go.

"You're going to stay outside in the cold wind, so I'm going inside."

Without waiting for Cheng Baichuan's reaction, he walked straight ahead.

Cheng Baichuan followed silently behind her step by step. Li Wanqing suddenly stopped and turned around to hold his arm.

"It's so late, and no one's taking you home?"

"Where's Xiao Wu? Where are Lao Shao and Lao Liang?"

Honestly, in the middle of the night, would they really feel comfortable letting someone with mobility issues come back by themselves?

Cheng Baichuan smiled slightly. "They were all busy, but they let me come back early because of my health."

He was supposed to be driven by Xiao Wu, but he wanted to walk around and enjoy the breeze, so he came back by himself.

Li Wanqing hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was better not to come back at all than to come back so late.

toss!

However, seeing Cheng Baichuan's strong will despite his disability, I decided against it.

The two helped each other back to the courtyard. Li Wanqing locked the courtyard gate and then poured a bowl of hot water for Cheng Baichuan.

"Tell me, what happened?"
