The nanny nodded; "That's how pregnant women are, not just their emotions, but also their sensitivity to smells. It will pass after this period."

Gu Weizhou was comforted: "Okay, I'll go to the army base to rest tonight. I'll leave my wife with the nanny. I'll come back to check on her every day, but I won't get too close."

Even if he doesn't live with her, Gu Weizhou will still come back.

Gu Weizhou wouldn't feel at ease without checking on her.

Ruan Yunxi nodded apologetically: "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you during this time."

"It's alright, you should rest well and take good care of yourself. After April or May, I'll see how things go before moving back. If you need anything, just tell me." Gu Weizhou's eyes were filled with reluctance.

Ruan Yunxi nodded.

Gu Weizhou went home to pack his things.

The two were only five meters apart. A gust of wind blew, and Ruan Yunxi caught his scent. She frowned, unable to hold back, and began to feel nauseous again.

Gu Weizhou: "......"

And so, Gu Weizhou went to live in the military dormitory.

When his sisters-in-law saw him leaving with his things that night, they asked curiously, "Where are you going so late? Isn't your wife pregnant? Why aren't you at home with her? Why are you going out?"

"My wife is having a lot of problems staying in the military dormitory. She can't stand the smell of my sweat, so I'm staying in the dormitory for a while to make her feel better." Gu Weizhou isn't usually a gossip, but he didn't want his wife to be gossiped about by the women in the family compound.

Gu Weizhou could only explain clearly to avoid people thinking that he and his wife had quarreled.

They have a great relationship.

Even if they argue, she'll be the one arguing, and he'll just listen and never make her angry.

The sisters-in-law: "......"

It was the first time I realized that he could speak, that he wasn't mute.

"Is that so?" the sisters-in-law asked in surprise.

Gu Weizhou never expected that his wife's pregnancy would turn out like this, treating him like a scapegoat and unable to bear seeing him.

Gu Weizhou felt a pang of sadness, but he didn't say much. He said what he needed to say and strode to his dormitory so that he wouldn't have trouble getting back after the doors closed.

The sisters-in-law exchanged glances and each shared some of their experiences with pregnancy. They mentioned that she was sometimes very sensitive to smells, but she had never been so disgusted with her own husband, even driving him away. Did she not want to live a good life anymore?

Is it that the child in her belly is incompatible with Gu Weizhou's birth chart?

Ruan Yunxi: "...They're the ones whose horoscopes don't match. My child and his father are from the same lineage and are perfectly compatible."

Sister-in-law Sheng comforted her, "Don't get agitated, don't upset the baby, and don't listen to their nonsense."

Ruan Yunxi thought about it and agreed; it wouldn't be good to disturb the fetus.

Sister-in-law Sheng asked, "So, Commander Gu really went to live in the dormitory?"

Ruan Yunxi nodded shyly: "I really didn't mean to, it's just that I don't know why, it's like we're irreconcilable enemies. I can't stand the smell of his pillow, the sheets, and everything else he's slept on."

"Is this a bit serious? Should I go to the hospital to get it checked out?" Ruan Yunxi felt she was exaggerating.

"It's fine to take a look. Children should really like being close to their fathers. Yours might have a bad temper. Two tigers can't share one mountain. I guess it's a son," Sister-in-law Sheng guessed.

Ruan Yunxi: "...Then forget it, let's keep the daughter. If my son goes against his father, how can I live my life?"

"If it's a daughter, no matter how much she makes a fuss, she can't cause any real trouble. Her father will still have a good life." If she's already targeting Gu Weizhou during her pregnancy, what if she actually has a son? Wouldn't that prove those gossipy people right—that the father and son are incompatible?

Thinking of this, Ruan Yunxi shook her head secretly, trying not to think too much about it.

On Gu Weizhou's side, upon learning that he had moved to a new dormitory, Political Commissar Li immediately spoke to him: "Did you and your wife have a fight? You're a man, how can you hold a grudge against your wife? And as a man, how can you run away from home so easily?"

Gu Weizhou: "Political Commissar, I did not run away from home."

"Then you can stay in the dormitory, not the family compound?" Political Commissar Li questioned Gu Weizhou with a look that suggested he was easily fooled.

Gu Weizhou looked aggrieved: "My wife can't stand the smell on me. I don't want her to feel uncomfortable, so I have to move to a dormitory for a while."

Political Commissar Li was exasperated: "Can't you take a shower before going back? Who told you to come back smelling so bad after every training session? Even if you weren't your wife, I'd still find you repulsive."

"I washed and scrubbed, but it didn't work. My wife has a nose like a dog's. Even if I peeled off a layer of skin, she would still feel uncomfortable. This baby in her belly is probably here to cure me." Gu Weizhou smiled bitterly: "Didn't the political commissar say before that no one could cure me?"

"Look, didn't my wife bring this?" Gu Weizhou's smile was bittersweet yet full of affection.

Political Commissar Li: "..."
