Li Yinian covered his wife's eyes, protecting her, and guided her slowly into a brand new room.

This is a 140-square-meter fully furnished apartment with four bedrooms and two living rooms, facing south.

Li Yinian slowly released his hand, carefully watching his wife as she opened her eyes and saw everything in the room. Her watery eyes were filled with joy and emotion.

Seeing how happy she was, he couldn't help but show a hint of joy as well.

"Look at this, this is a family photo. I brought it back yesterday afternoon and hung it here!"

As if he couldn't wait to ask for a reward, Li Yinian pulled the person into the living room and showed his wife a huge family photo on the background wall.

The photos taken yesterday turned out very well, including the two one-year-old children who had very bright smiles on their faces.

Xu Lian's pale and dull face looked a little healthier, but then she became a little uneasy and asked, "Is this big house very expensive? I remember this place is much more expensive than our old house. We haven't finished paying off that mortgage yet. Where did you get the money for this?"

“I…” Li Yinian opened his mouth, his memory flashing back to how he and the owner of this place, which he had originally intended to use as their wedding home, had pleaded desperately, using almost all of his savings to buy 15 days' ownership of the place.

Fifteen days! This planet has less than that much time left.

"The owner of this house went upstairs and didn't want it anymore, so I got a bargain." Li Yinian hugged Xu Lian, his head resting on her shoulder despite his size, afraid that his lying skills weren't good enough.

He whispered again, "I've always wanted to work hard so that one day in the future you and the children can live in such a big and nice house."

"Mmm." Xu Lian raised her hand and hugged Li Yinian back, whispering, "I've always believed in you..."

"So, I want to redeem all of this ahead of time. From now on, I'll stay with you and the child."

After Li Yinian finished speaking, Xu Lian could no longer hide the astonishment in her eyes. She incredulously pulled the man's head away from her and looked at him: "You...you don't..."

The woman's lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't bring herself to say, "Aren't you going back?"

Yes, she was just as reluctant to part with him.

Knowing full well that this choice would kill him, she felt heartache mixed with a sense of comfort and relief. Ultimately, her lips trembled slightly as she let out a sob.

"Don't you regret it?"

She didn't want to ask him to leave, nor did she want to personally tell him to leave, but in the end, she softened. "If you stay, do you know what will happen in the end?"

“Our family will always be together.” Li Yinian hugged the other person’s hand and slid it down her shoulder to hold her hand tightly. She said earnestly, “I want to be with you all forever.”

Li Yinian looked at Xu Lian intently, and Xu Lian looked at him intently as well.

Looking at her husband's face, Xu Lian was momentarily dazed, as if his demeanor had changed considerably in the few days he had been gone.

Originally, because of his poor health, the burden of the whole family fell on him. The ever-present weariness on his body and the honest and gentle look between his brows now seemed less tired, but more determined and... wistful?

Xu Lian didn't know how to describe the changes in her husband. Before, when Li Yinian came home, he was like a traveler who had finally returned after a long journey, tired but overjoyed to be back in his hometown.

Now, however, he felt more like a wanderer who had been away from home for a long time, meeting people from his hometown in a foreign land, filled with excitement and emotion.

"good……"

Xu Lian finally looked up and her gaze settled on the photos on the wall, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She had a strange feeling in her heart; she felt that her husband shouldn't be staying here.

Ji Sheng’s family,

"We don't know about the situation up there, or whether our son can adapt."

The middle-aged woman with permed, ear-length curly hair, holding her rice bowl, suddenly sighed again.

This prompted her husband, Ji Sheng, to pretend to cough several times before he came to his senses.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the water today?"

Liu Ying subconsciously looked at the fish head soup in the bowl. The broth was milky white, and there was nothing unusual about the smell.

“I’m not talking about the soup.” Ji Sheng sighed and said, “You nag whether the child is up or not. I’m a grown man, and you don’t care about me?”

The usually imposing and authoritative military commander was now complaining like a jealous, hot-headed young man.

"You promised to make soup for me, but you made the soup that my son likes instead."

"Hey, you like what your son likes too?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying raised her eyebrows, slapped her small hand on the table, and glared at Ji Sheng. Ji Sheng immediately shut his mouth and said no more.

He then quickly ladled a bowl of hot soup for the other person and handed it to them under their angry glare.

"Here, this is fresh fish soup. You drink it first."

Ji Sheng's humble and submissive demeanor quickly quelled Liu Ying's anger. In fact, she wasn't really angry, but the thought of being separated from her child forever still made Liu Ying feel terrible and want to cry.

She also told Ji Sheng about her thoughts.

"Since you can't bear to part with the child, then I'll have someone send him back?"

"You dare!"

Upon hearing Ji Sheng's joking remark, Liu Ying almost jumped up and chased after him to give him a good whack. How could someone joke about something like this?
