In the afternoon, He Tiantian went home to wash up and change, and brought over dinner. She was going to stay with Huo Yingjie that night.

That evening, He Tiantian had someone send Song Chunli back to the Huo family's old residence.

Zhou Yuanchao woke up at night.

He Tiantian helped Huo Yingjie go over to visit Zhou Yuanchao.

Seeing Zhou Yuanchao wake up and be able to speak, Huo Yingjie was finally relieved.

This time it was far too dangerous.

However, Zhou Yuanchao escaped this time and will live a peaceful and tranquil life from now on.

"Yuanchao, don't worry about home or work, just take good care of yourself," Huo Yingjie said, feeling even more respect for Zhou Yuanchao and vowing to treat his brother Zhou Yuanchao better in the future.

"Boss, thank you for taking care of the house for me." Zhou Yuanchao smiled slightly. "I feel much better now, and the doctor said I'm fine, so you don't need to worry about me."

“Good brother, I’m waiting for you to join me. Let’s build a business together,” Huo Yingjie said. “The results of this matter will be out in two days. I will come to tell you in person then.”

"Well, how are the other colleagues?" Zhou Yuanchao asked. They were all people he worked with, and he hoped everyone was alright.

“Your injuries are the most serious; the others are minor,” Huo Yingjie said. “I’ve received the latest news that a new laboratory is being built soon, and we’ll be in charge then. I promise this will never happen again.”

"Boss, I believe in you," Zhou Yuanchao said. "I'll take good care of myself, and then we brothers can do something big together."

"Don't worry," Huo Yingjie said. "Your parents will arrive tomorrow."

"Sigh, I feel a little guilty making them come all this way in this freezing weather," Zhou Yuanchao said with a wry smile. "But Wang Ying is at home, and even if she takes leave, she can't take several months off to take care of her! So we had to send our parents."

“Yuanchao, you’ve always wanted your parents to come over, and now is a good opportunity,” Huo Yingjie said. “Of course, your health isn’t good, so living upstairs isn’t convenient. I’ve already had the house you bought renovated. Your parents will stay in your current room for now, and once you’re all settled and discharged from the hospital, they can move in.” Huo Yingjie added, “Living on the ground floor will be more convenient.”

Zhou Yuanchao was moved and said, "Thank you, boss!"

"You're welcome," Huo Yingjie said. "You got injured because of me, so this is what I should do."

“Boss, you saved my life back at the base. Since I’m here earlier this time, I can’t let you be in danger,” Zhou Yuanchao said. “From now on, I can openly say that we’ve been through thick and thin together.”

Wang Ying was stunned. She had been accepting He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie's help without a second thought, assuming that her husband's injury was because of Huo Yingjie. But she never expected that Huo Yingjie had saved her husband's life before.

It seems I can't think like that anymore.

Wang Ying quickly adjusted her mindset and became even more respectful to Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian from then on.

"Okay, you should rest. I'll come see you again tomorrow," Huo Yingjie said, and with He Tiantian's help, they returned to the ward.

"Boss, you should get some rest too," Zhou Yuanchao said, watching them leave.

After He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie left.

Wang Ying asked cautiously, "Yuan Chao, when did the boss ever save your life?"

“It was supposed to be a secret, but you are my wife, and this concerns the relationship between our two families. I’m making this clear to you so that we don’t take the benefits from my eldest brother and sister-in-law for granted.” Zhou Yuanchao didn’t want his wife’s actions to damage the relationship between the two families.

Although Zhou Yuanchao was a man who didn't care about details, people who do scientific research are all highly intelligent, so how could he not see the change in his wife's attitude?

He probably felt that since he had saved the boss, he could accept help from others without feeling guilty.

Wang Ying looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "You were so badly injured, I was quite panicked and at a loss..."

“Yes, I understand your pain. Thank you for being there for me.” Zhou Yuanchao said, “Back in the secret base, during our experiments, a missile exploded nearby…”

Zhou Yuanchao recounted the harrowing experience and how Huo Yingjie saved others.

"Oh, I've got it," Wang Ying said. "I'll never be petty again."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'm a little sleepy, I'll take a nap first," Zhou Yuanchao said. "You should take a nap too. Don't worry about me, I'll call you if anything happens."

Wang Ying nodded and said, "Okay, you can rest now."

Seeing that Zhou Yuanchao had closed his eyes, Wang Ying also took a nap on the bed next to him.

Exhausted, Wang Ying quickly fell asleep after relaxing, but because she was thinking about Zhou Yuanchao, she would get up from time to time during the night to check on him and make sure he was alright before going back to sleep.

Zhou Yuanchao woke up once during the night and was moved to see his wife like this.

He married such a good wife. Although she sometimes makes mistakes, she will correct them as soon as he points them out. She is good to his family and is a good woman.

He Tiantian has been busy at both home and the hospital these past two days.

It just so happens that it's the students' review time right now. I only need to proctor exams on Monday, and then the semester will be over.

Song Chunli and Zhao Huanhuan took turns coming over during the day, and Huo Yingjun also took turns coming over to take care of Huo Yingjie.

Zhou Yuanchao's parents arrived. Seeing that Zhou Yuanchao was awake, their worries could finally be put to rest.

“Stepfather, with the help of my eldest brother, Wang Ying and I have bought a house in Yanjing. You and Mom can stay here,” Zhou Yuanchao said softly. “That way, we can take good care of you. Oh, and didn't you want a granddaughter? Once I'm better, we'll have one. You can help me take care of the child then.”

A hint of relief flashed across Zhou Yuanchao's stepfather Amur's dark face as he said, "Alright, I'll stay for a couple of days to keep you company. I'll go back and take care of those things first, and then come to Yanjing?"

"Thank you, Abu," Zhou Yuanchao said. "If you feel restless, I can lease a piece of land or a hilltop for you in the suburbs and keep you busy, how about that?"

“Okay, okay!” Amur said with a simple smile, “I’ll do the work, and Abu will raise cattle and sheep to provide meat for the Korean War.”

This honest and kind man, though not good with sweet words, always showed his love and protected him through his actions.

Now that he's old, it's time for his son to take good care of him.

Zhou Yuanchao's mother, Yan Cui, looked at her son. Her husband had finally reached an agreement, and she no longer needed to be torn between them.

As they get older, there are many jobs they can no longer do.

It's good that she and her son settled in Yanjing; she wants to come back.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I missed you." Hasqiqige came out from behind her parents, her round, rosy face making her especially adorable.
