Chapter 112 The baby-making plan delayed? I'll focus on my career first!

After an unknown amount of time, when Su Yue woke up again, it was already bright outside the window.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting dappled patterns on the floor.

The man beside her was still fast asleep, his handsome face showing a hint of satisfied weariness, his long eyelashes casting a bluish shadow under his eyelids.

Su Yue turned to the side, stretched out her finger, and gently traced his strong facial features.

This is her man.

He's the man who's decisive and ruthless outside, but at home he'll wash her feet and spoil her rotten.

He was the man who would brave gunfire to rush back on New Year's Eve, just to reunite with her.

An unprecedented sense of happiness and satisfaction, like a warm tide, enveloped her completely.

She couldn't resist leaning in and gently planting a kiss on his tightly pursed lips.

Just then, the man's long eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes, still a little sleepy from just waking up, instantly cleared when they saw her small face so close to theirs, filling them with a warm smile and doting affection.

"Awake?" he asked, his voice hoarse from a night of passion, incredibly sexy.

Su Yue's face flushed, and she was about to pull her head back when he pressed the back of her head down, deepening the good morning kiss.

After a long while, he reluctantly released her, pressed his forehead against hers, and whispered with a smile, "Wife, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year," Su Yue whispered in response, still feeling dizzy from his kisses.

very nice.

On the first day of the new year, I can see him as soon as I open my eyes.

Su Yue squinted her eyes happily, like a cat that had just tasted fish, nestled in his arms, not wanting to move at all.

However, this warmth and tranquility did not last long.

When she woke up again, the blankets beside her were already cold.

Su Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she sat up abruptly.

"Gu Beichen?"

She cried out in a panic, looked around, and found the room empty.

Just as a strong sense of unease welled up in her heart, the bedroom door was pushed open.

Gu Beichen's tall figure appeared at the doorway.

He was already fully dressed, in a crisp military uniform, the epaulets gleaming gold in the sunlight. He had regained his imposing and aloof demeanor as Commander Gu, except…

When Su Yue saw the expression on his face, her heart sank little by little.

Those deep eyes were filled with deep reluctance and profound regret.

Seeing that Su Yue was awake, he strode in, sat on the edge of the bed, leaned down and placed a very gentle kiss on the top of her loose black hair.

"Honey, did I wake you up?"

His voice was hoarse from the early morning, yet so gentle it seemed to melt your heart.

Su Yue shook her head, and the little grievance in her heart instantly vanished.

She knew he hadn't left without saying goodbye.

He just couldn't bear to wake her.

"Is the mission... urgent?"

Su Yue reached out and straightened his meticulously tailored military uniform collar. Her fingertips touched the stiff fabric, and her heart tightened again.

Gu Beichen took her small hand, kissed it, and nodded.

"Yes, there are some follow-up matters that I need to handle and finish personally when I get back."

His large hand enveloped hers, the calluses on his palm caressing her delicate skin, bringing a tingling, itchy sensation.

"I'm sorry, honey. It's my fault for leaving you alone in the house on the first day of the new year."

He looked at her, his eyes filled with guilt.

"Once this mission is completely over, I'll apply for leave and come back to spend quality time with you. We won't go anywhere else."

Su Yue forced a smile, suppressing the tears welling in her eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are a soldier, protecting your country is your duty, I knew that before I married you."

She stood on tiptoe and carefully buttoned up his collar, her movements earnest and focused, as if she were performing a sacred ritual.

"You must be careful when you're out there. Don't try to be a hero, and don't risk your life."

Her voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

"Your life is mine, do you hear me?"

Gu Beichen's heart was struck hard by those words, feeling both bitter and tender.

He suddenly pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.

"I heard you, my wife, my life is yours."

He whispered in her ear, his hot breath spraying onto her earlobe, sending a shiver down her spine.

"Wait for me to come back."

He paused, lowering his voice even further, tinged with nervousness and burning anticipation.

"When I get back, we'll start our 'baby-making plan'."

boom!

Su Yue's cheeks instantly turned bright red, the heat rushing straight to the top of her head.

This man!

What indecent talk is this in broad daylight!

She was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground, so she buried her face in his firm chest and let out a muffled "hmm," barely audible.

But that soft response made Gu Beichen's blood boil.

He felt himself reacting again.

That little devil!

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the erotic thoughts in his heart, not daring to linger for even a second longer.

If he stayed any longer, he feared he might not be able to leave.

He released her, cupped her flushed face, and kissed her deeply before speaking in a hoarse voice.

"I'm leaving. Stay home and wait for me."

After saying that, he resolutely turned around, strode out of the room, and never looked back.

Su Yue chased after him to the gate, watching his tall and upright figure disappear outside the gate, the sound of a car engine starting up, and then gradually fading away.

It felt as if another piece of her heart had been ripped out.

But this time, that emptiness was filled with something called "expectation".

Waiting for him to come back.

Waiting for their "baby-making plan".

Waiting for their future.

...

"My God! Su Yueyue! You better confess honestly, was the battle so intense last night that the sky and earth collapsed?"

Yang Yiyi woke up naturally after a good night's sleep, and came out of the guest room yawning. She immediately saw Su Yue sitting at the table in a daze.

She rushed over, grabbed Su Yue's chin, looked her up and down, and made clicking sounds of amazement.

"Look at your face, so fair and rosy, with eyes full of spring water. You're stinking up with the stench of love, it'll waft right up to me from 800 meters away!"

Yang Yiyi exaggeratedly fanned her nose, a mischievous smile on her face that said, "I know everything."

"Commander Gu must have given you, this delicate flower, a good 'pampering' before leaving, right? Impressive, you've got great stamina!"

Su Yue blushed at her blunt and bold teasing and reached out to pinch her waist.

"Yang Yiyi! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"Oh dear! Murdering her husband... oops, I mean, murdering her best friend!"

Yang Yiyi laughed and dodged.

"Are you still embarrassed? Look at your neck, there are hickeys all over it!"

She pointed to a small, barely visible red mark on Su Yue's collarbone and winked.

Su Yue instinctively covered her neck, her face turning even redder.

Is this Gu Beichen born in the Year of the Dog?

After laughing and joking around for a while, Yang Yiyi realized that there were only the two of them in the room.

"Huh? Where's Commander Gu? He went to the army so early? Doesn't he even get a break on the first day of the new year? That's too much!"

The blush on Su Yue's face faded, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

"He... went on another mission."
