But Qiao Muting knew that he was afraid that if something happened to him on the battlefield, his mother would be all alone, and she would be heartbroken.

However, given Cheng Fang'an's deep affection for Qiao Muting, if she were to find out first that her only son was going to the battlefield, she would definitely use all her connections to remove him from the list.

Qiao Muting knows his mother too well.

"Old Fang, I need to find a temporary caretaker for the children as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease even if I go to the front lines."

Upon hearing this, Fang Wenjie grinned mischievously.

"I just saw that Wenquan is in the propaganda department, and my sister is doing a good job managing her. Why don't you consider finding a mother for the kids before they go to the battlefield?"

Qiao Muting remained silent, but gently patted his face with his large hand.

"This is a temporary difficulty for me. But if I marry someone who has children, then it will become a long-term difficulty! Please, have mercy on me."

Speaking of children, it's almost lunchtime. I wonder if Wenquan will be able to adapt to living with Fang Wenxue?

Qiao Muting strode briskly toward the publicity department.

Before even reaching the entrance, one could hear Wenquan's loud crying.

"You child, how old are you? How come you still don't know that you need to go to the toilet to pee?"

You...you've gotten it all over my clothes, it's so dirty.

Ugh, it smells awful. Do I have to wash your pants again? I don't care.

Oh dear, and there's pee on the floor, on my seat... everywhere!

How am I supposed to sit like this?!

That's Fang Wenxue's voice.

“Officer Fang, that’s just how kids are. He must have given you a signal, but you just didn’t notice, right?” a woman’s gentle voice said.

"It's easy for you to say that when you're not the one suffering the consequences, isn't it? It's not like you were the one who got peed on, of course you're saying that," Fang Wenxue continued to complain.

Qiao Muting's tall figure appeared at the doorway, just in time to see Wenquan being held in the arms of a thin woman who was constantly comforting him.

As soon as the child saw his father, he stopped crying immediately, pleading, "Daddy, I didn't mean to get into the hot spring. Daddy, don't be angry... Waaah! Auntie, I'm sorry..."

Fang Wenxue then noticed Qiao Muting, and said with a displeased tone, "Brother Muting, look at this child. He needed to pee, but he didn't even say so beforehand. He peed all over me, and on my chair too..."

Qiao Muting's face was quite ugly: "I apologize to you on behalf of this child. I'll pay you back for the clothes. And if you don't like the chair, I'll go to the logistics department and get you a new one."

Then she gently said to the hot spring, "Come down, let's go."

"Hey! Deputy Director Qiao, wait a minute." The thin woman behind him, still holding the child tightly, called out to him loudly.
