Now that Tang Yazhu has returned to the Xinshi Military Region, it's inevitable that Cheng Fangping will be wary.

In addition, when he was first paralyzed, Cheng Fangping had humbled himself and begged Tang Yazhu to take care of him.

As a result, he was kicked out by the Tang family.

Given Cheng Fangping's personality, how could she easily swallow such grievances?

If Tang Yazhu hadn't been in Xinshi in the past, Cheng Fangping might not have been able to reach her and retaliate.

But now she's right under my nose...

Gu Hanchuan dared not gamble at all!

Over the years, why have his comrades called him "Black-Faced Killer"? It's because when he went to the front lines, he acted like he had no regard for his own life.

Why is he so reckless?

No one knew that all the happiness in his life had been destroyed by his mother.

Childhood misfortunes may still have a chance to be repaired.

However, only he knew how painful it was to watch his beloved woman be nearly ruined by his mother and defiled by thugs.

Tang Yazhu is too beautiful, and too foolish!

She turned down a marriage with the son of a high-ranking official in Hangzhou and insisted on wasting her youth on a "paralyzed man" like him, whom even someone like Tian Erxi wouldn't look at. It's not worth it!

She's almost 27 years old this year, right?

These six wasted years were such precious years.

How many more six-year periods does she have left? Can she withstand another round of torment?

Gu Hanchuan felt more and more heartbroken and worried that Cheng Fangping might do something to hurt Tang Yazhu again.

That would cause him even more heartache.

"If you really care about her, I advise you to stay away from her. Also, don't let her come to our house again."

Gu Hanchuan stubbornly closed the door again and didn't come out that night.

Unbeknownst to him, Qian Lai had already made a plan with Tang Yazhu.

The morning reveille had just sounded when Tang Yazhu was already standing at the gate with breakfast in hand.

Qian Lai seized the opportunity while Xiao Li took Gu Hanchuan out for his morning exercise, and quickly replaced the bowls and plates of the exquisite breakfast that Tang Yazhu had brought with the ones at home, and set them on the dining table.

Although everyone praised the dishes Qian Lai made with the divine spring water, none of them pleased him as much as the local snacks from Gu Hanchuan's hometown that Tang Yazhu served.

Qian Lai taught Tang Yazhu how to make diapers, and she worked tirelessly day and night to finish the job. In just a few days, she made enough for almost a month's supply.

In order to supplement Gu Hanchuan's nutrition in line with his daily training goals, Tang Yazhu began to teach herself nutritional recipes.

"Hanchuan needs to practice his arm strength in the morning, so he needs to eat more lean meat. In the evening, make him some steamed egg custard to increase his protein intake." As she spoke, she sprinkled goji berries into the casserole. The steam carrying her voice drifted out, sounding even more melodious than the copper bells on the eaves.

Since Tang Yazhu came into his life, Qian Lai has become like a hands-off manager.

Looking at the blooming flowers in the yard, the lush green vegetables in the garden, and the clothes and bedding that Tang Yazhu had secretly washed and brought back, every little detail revealed her thoughtfulness.

"Sister Yazhu, you're so capable!" Qian Lai exclaimed, admitting her inferiority.

"With your help, I can go to work at the research institute with peace of mind."

Tang Yazhu smiled and patted Qian Lai's wrist, which was wrapped around her neck, and said gently, "I hope your experiment will be successful soon. As for me, I don't know anything, but I'll just be your strong support."

"Sigh," she sighed deeply, "I hope Hanchuan gets better and regains his spirited self."

"It definitely will."

After settling things at home, Qian Lai's thoughts were still on Qiao Muting.

I wonder if anyone has helped him wipe his back these past few days, and whether he might get an infection from sweating.

Her heart was constantly in her throat.

The next day, after settling Gu Hanchuan in, she brought the fruit and breakfast she had prepared for Qiao Muting to the General Hospital of the Military Region.

Oh my god!

There isn't a single day that's not crowded here.

Qian Lai held the basket in her hand, afraid it would be knocked over. Ahead, a woman wearing a white floral dress flashed by.

Isn't that the woman who helped her hand over her things last time?

Qian Lai finally managed to squeeze out of the crowd, ran a few steps, and caught up with the person.

"Hello, comrade!" she greeted first. "Do you remember me?"

Huang Jingyi stopped and looked back at the person.

It's her!

When Qiao Muting saw the things she had returned, he rushed downstairs like a madman!

Why is she here again?

Huang Jingyi quickly relaxed her expression and replied with a smile, "Oh, you're the lady who delivered things to Deputy Director Qiao last time?"

"Yes, it's me. Excuse me, how do I get to Qiao Muting's office?"

Qiao Muting!

She actually called him by his full name.

Considering Qiao Muting's previous reaction, Huang Jingyi knew that their relationship must be unusual.

"What's your relationship with Deputy Director Qiao?"

"friend."

friend!

Could she be his girlfriend?

"Please come with me. I was just about to go find him too."

Huang Jingyi glanced down unintentionally and saw that the woman's basket also contained lunchboxes. Looking at her own thermos, she felt uneasy.

On the other side, Qiao Muting was pushed into the dressing room by Fang Wenjie. Just as he was about to take off his shirt, he heard a knock on the door.

"Deputy Director Qiao, a pretty girl is looking for you." It was the head nurse's voice.

It's her!

She said she would come to the hospital to see me in two days, and she kept her word.

Qiao Muting suddenly jumped off the treatment bed and ran out the door without saying a word.

In the hallway, two women stood side by side.
