Seeing the heartache in his mother's eyes, Xiao Chengyi felt a warm glow in his heart.

"Mom, it's really nothing, don't worry. I'm much better than I was a few days ago."

"If you agree, then it's good. But if anything goes wrong, you must tell your mother immediately, okay?"

"Yes, I will, Mother, don't worry!"

"How can Mother be at ease!"

Seeing his mother like this, Xiao Chengyi quickly changed the subject.

"Mother, what were you and Father talking about just now? I think I heard you mention Xiumei."

Upon hearing her son's words, Zhang Guizhi's attention was indeed diverted.

"Yes, when you were asleep, your Aunt Li came to check on you and tried to find out how you were doing."

I was a little suspicious, so I didn't answer her directly. Later, when I brought up your marriage with Xiumei, she was also vague.

I feel uneasy about this. Logically speaking, the Yu family should have known about your injury long ago.

The Iron Bull Brigade isn't too far away. You've been back for two days now; they should at least come and check on you, but..."

Although Zhang Guizhi did not finish speaking, Xiao Chengyi already understood what she meant.

“Mom, if anyone asks you again, just say that my leg won’t get better, and that I’ve been given a discharge allowance and can’t continue serving in the army.”

I want to see what the Yu family's attitude is. If they continue to honor the marriage agreement, then I will naturally treat Yu Xiumei well.

But if they want to break off the engagement, it means that the Yu family is not a good family. You should know that there are many things to face after becoming a military wife.

Without a steadfast and unwavering heart, it's impossible to accompany your son all the way. It's better to cut the Gordian knot now than to suffer later!

"That's what I was thinking too, but I'm afraid that if something happens, you'll feel bad!"

"Mom, I'm a soldier. It's only natural for me to sacrifice my family for the greater good. My personal feelings are not important to me. You don't need to worry about it!"

Xiao Chengyi lowered his head, a dim light flashing in his eyes. He seemed to have some expectations in his heart, but he couldn't quite grasp them.

A voice from the depths of his being told that this test would inevitably result in the annulment of the engagement.

But the thought of "breaking off the engagement" seemed to excite him, and he seemed to be impatient.
