Guan Wenru took the receiver with trembling hands. As soon as she put it to her ear, before she could even speak, tears streamed down her face without warning.
He Yanzhi on the other end of the phone seemed to hear sobbing. His brows furrowed. "Wenru?"
Hearing his voice, Guan Wenru's tears flowed even more fiercely, her voice filled with heavy sobs and suppressed worry and fear, "He...He Yanzhi...how are you? Where are you hurt? Is it serious?"
Hearing her cry, He Yanzhi tightened his grip on the microphone. His voice was weak but clear and steady, reassuring her, "It's me, don't cry, don't cry, I'm fine... I'm really fine."
Guan Wanxin used a handkerchief to wipe away Guan Wenru's tears.
Guan Wenru was still very emotional. "Where exactly is the injury?"
He Yanzhi knew that she wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't say something, so he chuckled, "Sweetie, don't cry. I just got grazed by shrapnel on my arm, it's just a superficial injury, nothing serious! It's all taken care of, I'll be bouncing around again in a few days, don't worry, okay?"
His voice seemed to have a bewitching effect.
When Guan Wenru heard him say that he was alright, half of the anxiety in her heart finally subsided, but she still couldn't stop crying. "Are you serious? You're not lying to me? They said... they said you were badly injured! You were in critical condition for a long, long time!"
"When have I ever lied to you?" He Yanzhi said firmly, with a smile. "I have such a beautiful young wife at home, I wouldn't want to die. Don't worry, I really just have a minor injury! I only had a few stitches. See, I can call you now, right? Don't overthink it and scare yourself."
After saying that, to avoid making Guan Wenru overthink things, he quickly asked, "Is everything alright at home? Are you and Grandma alright?"
Guan Wenru felt much relieved. "Yes, everything is fine. Don't worry about home."
"What about at the factory? Is anyone giving you a hard time, young factory manager?"
"No, although I am young, I have the support of the military, and I was the one who started this factory. Everyone respects me and no one dares to cause trouble."
He Yanzhi smiled and said, "That's good. My wife is indeed amazing. Don't cry, Director Guan. If the workers see you crying, it will affect your prestige."
Guan Wenru was amused. "When did you learn to be so cheeky? By the way, you need to take good care of your injury. Don't rush forward recklessly. Remember that I'm still waiting for you at home."
And your three sons!
"Mmm." He Yanzhi suddenly felt an itch to touch her head. He wished he could be by her side so he could rub her head, kiss her, and hug her.
Although Guan Wenru was reluctant, she was afraid of delaying He Yanzhi's recovery, so she quickly said, "Take good care of yourself. By the way, you should also call your grandparents in the capital. They know about your serious injury and must be very worried."
“Okay.” He Yanzhi knew that the news must have spread, and his grandfather probably received it immediately.
Just as the two were about to hang up, the baby in the cradle, who was waiting to be fed, must have gotten impatient and suddenly cried out loudly, "Wah!!"
Immediately afterwards, Erbao seemed to catch it too, and started whimpering and crying as well.
Da Bao, who was being held by Bai Yun, thought for a moment and suddenly burst into tears.
He Yanzhi paused noticeably on the other end of the phone, then asked in confusion, "Wenru? What's that sound? Whose child is crying? It's so loud... Is it some sister-in-law who brought her child over to play?"
Guan Wenru was extremely nervous, and she and Guan Wanxin looked at each other in bewilderment.
I was actually conflicted about whether or not to tell him.
But this news was shocking enough that once He Yanzhi knew, he would have three more people on his mind.
This might not be a good thing for him!
Having experienced the battlefield, Guan Wanxin knew how dangerous the front lines were; a moment's distraction could lead to utter destruction.
So after thinking about it, she shook her head at Guan Wenru.
Guan Wenru nodded, choosing to lie, "Yes, it was my sisters-in-law who brought their children over to chat and comfort me. Everyone knows a little bit about it."
He Yanzhi indeed didn't suspect anything.
Guan Wenru had a good relationship with the women in the compound, so it was not surprising that they came to comfort her.
They exchanged a few more words before reluctantly hanging up.
