Chapter 226 Like a love-struck fool

After Xia Yuhuan finished drinking the ginger soup, she handed the bowl to Chi Yanzhou.

Chi Yanzhou reached out and took it, while Xia Yuhuan smiled and said, "Silly boy, how can I blame you?"

"I really liked the surprise you prepared for me last night."

"Although there were some minor incidents, I'm going to cause some trouble today."

"But so far, it seems okay, not too bad," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.

Chi Yanzhou raised his hand and touched her forehead. Seeing that she didn't have a fever, he was relieved.

Xia Yuhuan said, "Don't worry, don't forget, I'm a doctor, I'll take care of my own condition."

"If there are any signs that I'm about to catch a cold, I will intervene promptly."

For her, preventable illnesses are the solution.

Only a sudden, aggressive illness could catch her off guard and cause her to fall ill.

"I'm going to wash up, and I'll go brew the medicine in a bit. You go about your business." Xia Yuhuan pinched Chi Yanzhou's cheek and said.

Chi Yanzhou took her hand and kissed it. "Okay."

Xia Yuhuan felt a little shy as he held her hand and kissed her.

Only after he left did the shyness in my heart subside.

"Xia Yuhuan, you're so useless."

"We've already had more intimate kisses, and you're getting shy just because someone kissed you? How pathetic."

Xia Yuhuan muttered several self-criticisms.

But looking at her reflection in the mirror, with her rosy complexion and sparkling eyes, she couldn't help but smile.

Okay, so be it if I'm a loser. As a woman currently immersed in love, I accept that I'm a loser.

After getting ready, Xia Yuhuan went to prepare the medicine as usual, did some exercise, and then ate breakfast.

While having breakfast, Zhang Xianya asked them, "Didn't you two leave first yesterday? Where did you go? We've all come back, and we haven't seen either of you."

Chi Yanzhou: "I took Ayu out for a walk."

"It's late at night, and there's nothing to see. What could possibly be better?" Zhang Xianya asked, puzzled.

Xia Yuhuan smiled and whispered, "Mom, this is a secret between him and me."

"What secrets are you two hiding from me and your mother? You can't even tell us?" Chi Shaokang asked curiously.

Zhang Xianya was the first to react, nudging his waist with her elbow.

"The child says it's a secret, so it's a secret. Why are you asking so many questions?"

The young couple is currently enjoying a blissful relationship. What's wrong with having a few little secrets when you're dating?

What's more, even if they are parents, do they really have to openly discuss the details of their relationship?

They never shared their private secrets with their son and daughter-in-law.

Chi Shaokang didn't react for a moment.

After realizing what he had said, he coughed lightly and said, "Okay, I won't ask anymore. As long as you two are happy."

Xia Yuhuan lowered her head and ate her breakfast, suppressing the smile that couldn't help but rise at the corners of her mouth.

Chi Shaokang asked Chi Yanzhou, "Is your leg completely healed? When do you plan to rejoin the team?"

This morning, Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya were overjoyed to see that Chi Yanzhou was able to get out of his wheelchair and walk independently.

After all, Chi Yanzhou had been in a wheelchair for a while. They knew he was undergoing rehabilitation, but they had hardly seen any progress in his rehabilitation.

Because when they are at home, Chi Yanzhou is always in a wheelchair.

Seeing Chi Yanzhou completely recovered, their sense of surprise was far greater than Xia Yuhuan's.

"Let's wait a while. I've only regained the ability to walk normally now, and I still need to train my physical fitness," Chi Yanzhou said.

Most importantly, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that outsiders did not yet know he had recovered to investigate Master Shi and the group of people who had tried to kill Xia Yuhuan.

Once he rejoins the team, his freedom will be greatly restricted, and he will no longer be able to investigate these matters without distractions.

"Okay, then you should rest a bit more. Anyway, no one outside knows you've recovered." Chi Shaokang agreed.

"By the way, the review of the last mission has been completed. You have been awarded a first-class merit, and the organization is going to promote you to division commander."

"However, you are too young and promoted too quickly, which has become an eyesore. Some people are absolutely against it."

“Some people still bring up the fact that you’re not married, but since you’re with Xiao Huan, that’s not a problem.”

"They had been arguing fiercely before, but then you suddenly woke up, so they decided to appoint you as the deputy division commander."

"The appointment will be issued soon, so prepare in advance," Chi Shaokang said.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzhou was not surprised and nodded slightly in agreement: "Okay."

Xia Yuhuan, biting her chopsticks, turned her head to look at him.

"A deputy division commander under thirty? Ah Yan, you're something else. You must be the youngest deputy division commander."

“There are veteran soldiers who are corps commanders in their twenties; I’m still far from that level,” Chi Yanzhou said.

“That’s different. That was wartime, and it was much easier to make a name for yourself then. We’ve been a nation for decades now. In peacetime, it’s practically a miracle that someone your age could reach this position.” Xia Yuhuan said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzhou took her hand, squeezed it gently, and smiled, "Then I must thank my wife. It was you who married me, solved the trouble, and brought me good fortune."

Xia Yuhuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're just talking nonsense. How can you attribute this to me? It's your own achievement, it has nothing to do with me."

Chi Yanzhou's promotion was earned through his own hard work and battles, and had nothing to do with her. She was aware of that much.

"How can it not have anything to do with you? If you hadn't married me, they would definitely have used my unmarried status and youth as an excuse to pressure me further."

"And it was because you married me and saved me that I was able to return to normal and receive these honors in person."

"If I die, the dead cannot receive these honors."

Zhang Xianya, standing to the side, said irritably, "Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about so early in the morning? Quick, stop talking."

Although the Four Olds are being destroyed now, she just can't stand hearing these unpleasant words.

Just hearing it makes me feel sad.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzhou smiled faintly and said, "Okay, I won't say anything more, Mom."

“I just want Ayu to know that she is very important to me, extremely important.”

Xia Yuhuan almost drowned in his affectionate eyes.

She tugged at his hand, a little embarrassed, and said, "Don't say anything more."

He wouldn't feel embarrassed looking at her like that in front of her parents, but she would.

Chi Yanzhou tightened his grip on her hand. "It's the truth. What can't be said?"

Xia Yuhuan felt helpless upon hearing this. Very well, she had been defeated by Chi Yanzhou's shamelessness.

Where is the cold, unapproachable, aloof beauty from the book?

How did a relationship turn out like this?

She's like a love-struck fool.

Xia Yuhuan didn't dare to look at Zhang Xianya and Chi Shaokang's expressions at this moment.

She couldn't even imagine how they would laugh at her.

Chi Shaokang coughed lightly: "Daughter, Dad has finished eating. I'll go out and wait for you in the car. Hurry up."

Zhang Xianya smiled and said, "I'm full too. You two can continue your conversation."

The elderly couple went out together, while the young couple remained gazing at each other.

Xia Yuhuan was so angry that she stomped on Chi Yanzhou's foot.
