Bai Yajing still went to work early the next morning.
Xu Wei had just gotten up when Pei An came over.
He pulled an envelope from his pocket. "The Kyoto Research Institute has confirmed that you will be rehired in five days as the vice president. As for the institute... the original one has been taken back."
This time, I was assigned to a different place, but it was still within the military region's family compound.
Xu Wei was mentally prepared for this, as her daughter had written to her to inform her of it.
"Okay, thank you for making the trip. The security at the Ministry of State Security's residential compound is quite good. I won't be going out for the next few days. You can go back to the Pei family."
She hasn't seen her two little grandchildren yet. Nannan called them and said they'll bring them back to show her today.
She didn't want to move so soon; she wanted to spend more time with her elderly parents and children.
Besides, Pei An's mother missed her son very much that day, and Pei An probably felt the same way, so it was better to let him go home.
Pei An felt a warmth in his heart at her thoughtfulness. Years ago, his wife died unexpectedly in childbirth, and in his despair, he applied to go to a secret base in the Northwest to protect those great scientists.
Because his original position was already high—he was already a battalion commander at that time—he remained a battalion commander after going there; it was a lateral transfer. Now he has been promoted to regimental commander.
Over the years, working and being busy every day there, his heart gradually calmed down.
It wasn't until Xu Wei appeared that his calm heart was stirred once again.
After getting to know her, I became increasingly attracted to her talent and character.
Similarly, as they got to know each other better, he learned that she had once had a fiancé she loved very much.
Even though he had sacrificed himself, he was still in her heart. Many times, he saw her holding a pendant and gazing at it intently.
Therefore, he knew that if he really spoke out, he might not even be able to remain friends with her, so he buried his feelings and just stayed by her side silently.
After the project was successful, she was about to leave, so he also made up his mind to leave the base and apply to bring her back.
After leaving the family compound, he returned to the Pei family home.
Standing at the familiar yet unfamiliar gate of the courtyard, he was momentarily dazed.
Madam Pei was drinking tea when she suddenly stood up, as if sensing something.
Seeing this, Madam Pei, who was standing beside her, got up with some confusion and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"
Madam Pei waved her hand without saying a word and walked out.
Seeing that she was walking in a hurry, Madam Pei was afraid that she would fall and quickly followed.
"Mother, please slow down..."
The door opened, and Pei An and his mother, Madam Pei, met unexpectedly once again.
"mom……"
Madam Pei's eyes immediately reddened, and she rushed out, punching him in the chest.
"You little rascal! You finally come back to see me? How many years has it been? How many years!"
I thought your father and I would never see you again before we died! Waaah…”
She cried so hard. Last time, she held back her tears in a crowded place, but this time, with no one else around, she couldn't hold back anymore and poured out all her longing through her tears.
When his daughter-in-law had a difficult childbirth, the whole family was very sad. He wanted to go far away, so they let him go, thinking that he would come back after a long time. But so many years have passed and he has not returned.
How could she not miss him?
Pei An helplessly begged for forgiveness and apologized to comfort her.
Madam Pei was also surprised to see her brother-in-law, but after realizing what was happening, she quickly and happily invited the mother and son inside.
"Mom, Second Brother, let's not stay at the door, let's go inside! I'll go call Dad and Liangzi!"
Madam Pei realized they were at the entrance, quickly wiped away her tears, and pulled her son inside.
He then turned to his eldest daughter-in-law and instructed, "Tell them to come back quickly! Anzi has a mission to complete and cannot stay long."
When I met him that day, my son said he was busy, so he must have a task to complete.
Although she wanted her son to stay home, even just to talk to her, she knew that what he was busy with was for the country, and she wouldn't be so unreasonable.
