As he spoke, Deputy Commander Tan laughed and changed the subject.
"By the way, Lu Yu, I heard you've made a lot of progress at work recently. That's great news! Our military district needs young talents like you!"
Lu Yu smiled modestly:
"It's all thanks to the leadership and the help from my colleagues. I still have a lot of shortcomings and need to keep working hard!"
After a warm but brief greeting, Deputy Commander Tan smiled, waved to everyone, and turned to leave with his entourage.
Watching their backs gradually disappear from their sight, Qin Wan and Lu Yu slowly came to their senses and began to continue the unfinished work of cleaning the house.
Qin Wan was tidying up the clutter with swift hands and feet, and at the same time, she was not idle. She turned her head to look at Lu Yu who was also busy beside her and asked:
"Tell me, why did the commander suddenly come here today? Could it be that he just stopped by to see you, as he said?"
Lu Yu kept moving his hands, and when he heard his wife's question, he couldn't help but frowned slightly and thought for a while.
After a while, he looked up as if he had thought of something and responded:
"Perhaps that's true! I've heard a little bit about Deputy Commander Tan before. I heard he only has two daughters and has always loved children. Maybe he heard we have four adorable kids and came to see them."
"Is it really that simple? Is there any other purpose?"
Qin Wan was obviously still a little skeptical. She stopped wiping the table and stared at Lu Yu, as if trying to find some clues from his face.
Lu Yu felt uneasy when she looked at him. He quickly shook his head, a trace of thought flashing in his eyes as he analyzed seriously:
"At least on the surface, that's certainly the case. You saw how amiable Deputy Commander Tan was towards us today. He was especially affectionate towards the children; he couldn't hide his genuine affection. Besides, he didn't mention anything work-related the entire time. In my opinion, this visit was likely based purely on personal sentiment."
Qin Wan nodded, but there was still a trace of doubt between his brows:
"That's good. I'm just worried that there might be something we don't know about. After all, he's a high-ranking official in the military region, and every move he makes could have deeper implications."
Lu Yu patted Qin Wan's shoulder and comforted her:
"Don't worry too much, Qin Wan. Even if something does happen, we can deal with it. We just need to do our job well and have a clear conscience."
After hearing this, Qin Wan curled his lips. He seemed to have thought of something, but then he swallowed it back.
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she tried her best to force a smile, and said:
"Yes, perhaps I'm really overthinking it. But no matter what, the fact that the Chief is visiting my humble home today has the children all so excited it's like a holiday, their faces filled with happy smiles. Just seeing this scene makes me feel satisfied."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Wan quickly turned around and got back to his busy work.
She was seen deftly tidying up the slightly messy items in the room, and Lu Yu, who was standing by, saw this and followed her without hesitation, fighting alongside her.
The couple worked together, and in a short while, the originally slightly messy house was tidy and spotless.
While they were tidying up the room, their hands were constantly busy, but their mouths were also busy. Sometimes they would exchange a few words in a low voice, and sometimes they would engage in a heated argument due to a difference of opinion.
Most of the topics revolved around the possible reasons for Deputy Commander Tan's sudden visit. However, as the conversation went on, the focus unconsciously shifted to the children's daily lives and various plans for their future.
Qin Wan: "My child is almost one year old. I want to send him to kindergarten as soon as school starts. There are many children of the same age there. If they are together, Dabao won't look too old."
Lu Yu: "Okay, I'll listen to Wanwan."
But in the end, Qin Wan couldn't help but ask Lu Yu a question: "Why do I feel that Deputy Commander Tan looks a bit like you..."
…… …… ……
Not to mention that Lu Yu and his wife were not sure why Deputy Commander Tan came to their house, but Deputy Commander Tan was also not sure why he came to Lu Yu's house.
At this moment, he was sitting quietly in the spacious and comfortable car, with his head slightly lowered. His originally relaxed eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, forming a deep furrow.
His deep and sharp eyes, like two cold rays, stared straight at the rapidly receding street scene outside the car window. But in his mind, he was thinking about another question, a question that had nothing to do with the scene before him, which was:
What exactly was the reason that prompted him to make such a decision?
Was it really just a spur-of-the-moment impulse? Or was there some hidden, deeper purpose behind this seemingly impulsive action? Even he himself probably wouldn't be able to give a definitive answer anytime soon.
If he thought about it carefully, there was no need for him to come here in person.
However, for some reason, he finally decided to embark on this journey.
There seemed to be a mysterious force pulling him secretly, as if sending him a strong signal - if he missed this opportunity, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
