Chu Xingyue has been living a very low-key life these past few years, spending her days either conducting experiments or occasionally going on missions.
Of course, every time Chu Xingyue went on a mission, she was accompanied by the leaders of the military region and her comrades-in-arms.
After Chu Xingyue and top domestic experts completed the development of the new nuclear weapon, she spent the entire year planning to dismantle that private laboratory. Her mother's identity was also revealed to her by the leaders, who explained what had happened back then.
It turns out that her mother was among the first group of researchers in China to go abroad for further studies, but she was betrayed by her classmates halfway through her studies, which led her to end up in that lowly research institute, where she stayed for so many years.
Although she wasn't physically tormented, the longing for her child and home tormented her every day. If it weren't for her strong willpower and the help of her friends, she wouldn't have made it back.
Therefore, she applied to her superiors to personally lead a team to dismantle this underground research institute.
She didn't want her mother to live in the shadow of this incident forever.
When Chu Xingyue went to apply with her boss, her fiancé Gu Yanci was also there. You read that right, her fiancé. The two had been engaged for half a year.
Both sets of parents were very satisfied, except for Gu Yanci's elderly father, Gu Xiong.
Gu Xiong thought his son was not good enough for An'an, but Gu Li was very satisfied, extremely satisfied. He was pleasantly surprised that such a person would take a liking to his little nephew.
As the two got to know each other better and collaborated more, Gu Yanci learned that Chu Xingyue held multiple positions, while Chu Xingyue also realized that Gu Yanci was both the country's public cash cow and its clandestine sword.
“You two go together. I remember when Xiao Ci came back, he told me that he rescued a Chinese woman not far from that research institute. Xiao Ci knows the exact location, and he is quite skilled. He can also assist you.”
Gu Li looked at his nephew and the child he admired most sitting on the opposite sofa.
Chu Xingyue frowned when she heard the word "Chinese woman," which was noticed by Gu Yanci, who had been watching her closely.
"An'an, is something wrong?"
"The leader said you saved a Chinese woman back then. Was Li Si also present at the time?"
Chu Xingyue said affirmatively.
"Yes, it was the two of us together. It was very dark, and the woman had clearly escaped. There were many cars chasing her. I remember there was a foreign man driving the car who let her out halfway through. That man lured away most of the pursuers, but the leader left a few people behind to search along the way just in case."
Just as the girl was about to be discovered, Li Si and I dealt with the two men, and the woman escaped. It's been several years since then, and we don't know if she's still alive. At the time, we weren't sure if she was Chinese or of Chinese descent, but she spoke fluent Mandarin, and we didn't want to stand idly by, so we intervened and rescued her.
Gu Yanci finished recounting what had happened as he recalled the events.
Chu Xingyue reached out and grasped Gu Yanci's hands.
"Aci, thank you, thank you for helping Li Si back then. Otherwise, I don't think I would know where my mother is now. The Chinese woman you saved back then is my mother."
"What? It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"
Gu Yanci was a little surprised! But seeing Chu Xingyue nod affirmatively, he could only believe it.
"I never imagined you two would have such a connection?"
Gu Li said with a touch of emotion.
When Chu Wennian reported this to him, Gu Yanci hadn't told him about it yet, so when Gu Yanci finally told him, he was too busy to pay much attention.
"You mean, it was your mother who submitted this research data in the first place?"
"Yes, my mother has some concerns and has never said much about this matter, but I know that there must be something hidden in her heart that I don't know."
Chu Xingyue hadn't seen Chu Ning for decades, so she could understand that her mother was keeping things from her. After all, Chu Xingyue was an independent person, and she also had things she didn't want to share.
"Should you talk to her when you go there this time?"
Gu Yanci tightened his grip on his wife's hand.
"I'm worried that if she goes there, there might be someone she cares about inside. If we don't handle it well, it could become a lifelong pain for her."
Chu Xingyue said with some concern.
That makes sense.
Gu Li said in a deep voice.
The two bid farewell to Gu Li.
Once in the car, Gu Yanci drove steadily out of the heavily guarded red-tiled building.
"Wife, do you have time to have a meal together?" Gu Yanci looked pitifully at Chu Xingyue sitting next to him.
"Since Mr. Gu has extended such a sincere invitation, it would be ungrateful of you to refuse if you don't have time, wouldn't it?" Chu Jiaojiao revealed a mischievous smile.
"Have you been slacking off lately? I still have my eight-pack abs, right?"
Chu Xingyue's gaze shifted somewhat lecherously to Gu Yanci's chest and below.
"That's definitely a must. As Comrade Chu Xingyue's future husband, this is a must-have condition." Gu Yanci, who was driving with a smug look on his face, suddenly gripped the steering wheel tightly.
"Smack!"
"Why are you so stiff? Relax." Chu Xingyue's voice echoed in Gu Yanci's ears.
"An'an, well, I'll drive carefully. Once we get home, you can do whatever you want with me."
Gu Yanci quickly reached out and grabbed the small hand that was causing trouble around his waist and abdomen. He was afraid that if it continued to touch him, his proud self-control would crumble.
"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding. Be careful while driving."
Chu Xingyue sat up straight, pretending to be serious.
Gu Yanci let out a careful breath, his ears turning bright red. This girl had some strange fetish; despite her young age, An'an was inexplicably fond of his abs, causing him immense suffering every time—a truly sweet burden...
The two went to the supermarket to buy groceries together. When they got home, Gu Yanci personally cooked delicious food for Chu Xingyue. Chu Xingyue was not picky about food, but Gu Yanci always served her exceptionally well when it came to food.
Gu Yanci's elder brother, Gu Yanting, said that if you want a woman who can't cook to be with you willingly, you must first be a good cook. Win her over through her stomach. Ideally, when you go out to eat, she should be able to say, "It's not as good as my husband's cooking at home." That's a man's success.
Before he got married, Gu Yanci had no concept of this. He always thought that his older brother and brother-in-law were spoiling his sister-in-law and sister a little too much. In fact, he had eaten his sister-in-law and sister's cooking at home, and it was all pretty good. At least it didn't give him diarrhea.
He truly experienced this after he got a wife, and An'an ate a lot. Whenever she was around, there was never any food left over, which gave the cook absolute affirmation.
The two of them sweetly cooked dinner together at home.
