Chapter 29: Can’t have children? There is such a good thing!
"Uncle doesn't like me?" After waiting for a while, Shen Zhaoyue asked again, still so blunt that it caught people off guard.
Chen Zhaoyue's thoughts were very simple. She had a good impression of Wen Yanxi, but it was not to the point where she had to be with him. If he really didn't want to, then forget it.
"I," Wen Yanxi was silent for a moment, and finally spoke, intending to tell her directly, "I was injured."
"ah……"
Since my uncle didn't deny what he said just now, does that mean he is also interested in her?
Chen Zhaoyue curved her eyebrows, tilted her head and said, "Injured? So what?"
Her eyes swept over Wen Yanxi's broad shoulders and narrow waist.
Even when wearing clothes, the muscle lines hidden underneath are faintly visible, giving a sense of security.
As for the injuries, she didn't care. After all, it would be abnormal for a soldier to not have some scars on his body. Scars are actually medals, which are quite handsome.
If it was an internal injury...her medical school diploma and family inheritance were not obtained in vain.
Seeing the little girl's indifferent expression, Wen Yanxi suddenly felt more awkward than ever before.
"The doctor said," he said after a long while, "It's difficult for me to have offspring."
Although his tone was calm, the glint in his eyes showed that he was not as calm as he appeared.
When Chen Zhaoyue heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she suddenly rushed forward and grabbed his wrist: "Is there such a good thing?"
Wen Yanxi: "...?"
No, is that right?
Or did she mishear what she meant?
Wen Yanxi was caught off guard by this reaction, and his hand, which had been holding a gun for years, was shaking a little.
He had imagined a thousand reactions—disgust, sympathy, regret—but he had never expected such blatant joy.
“Ah no…” Shen Zhaoyue realized that his reaction was a bit weird.
Although it is a good thing for her, after all, she will not have to suffer the pain of childbirth, but it is still very embarrassing for a man, and it takes a lot of courage to say it in front of her.
"I don't mind! It just so happens that I don't like children that much. It would be great if we could live together for the rest of our lives without children!" Chen Zhaoyue smiled extremely happily, and the upward arc at the end of his tone unexpectedly broke through the defense line he had built up over the years.
"..." Wen Yanxi tightened his fingers unconsciously, causing wrinkles on the hem of his clothes.
The little girl's warm palm pressed against his wrist, causing his breathing, which had never been disordered in the past 28 years even when facing bullets and shells, to become rapid.
Her words didn't sound forced at all, and people's first reactions are always the most genuine. She... seemed to be truly happy.
"You..." His Adam's apple rolled a few times, and finally he could only squeeze out one word.
Chen Zhaoyue suddenly let go of her hand and took a half step back: "But I have to tell you first, I can't cook, and I can't do housework like cleaning."
She tilted her head, the moonlight casting a tiny ray of light on her eyelashes, making her eyes look particularly lively. "I wonder if you mind?"
"I don't mind." Wen Yanxi was stunned when he blurted out these words.
In the darkness, the tips of his ears were already red and hot.
"Then Mr. Wen." Chen Zhaoyue stood on tiptoe, his eyes shining like the stars in the sky.
She extended her slender wrist towards Wen Yanxi: "Please give me your guidance for the rest of my life."
Every word she said was like a candy, so sweet that Wen Yanxi felt dizzy.
Wen Yanxi looked at the white hand in front of him, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
He slowly raised the hand that usually held the gun, but paused slightly when it was about to touch her.
"Yes." Under the moonlight, his stern features softened a bit, and he opened his thin lips slightly: "Please give me your guidance."
His voice was as low as the strings of a cello, vibrating gently in the night.
Chen Zhaoyue took the initiative and held his bony hand tightly.
When she looked up, the moonlight fell into her smiling eyes, as if it contained the entire Milky Way.
Wen Yanxi felt something warm breaking out in his chest.
This man who had never wavered in the hail of bullets was now breathless because of a simple handshake.
————
In the kitchen, Wen Qing was washing dishes while peeking through the window at what was happening in the yard.
Under the moonlight, the two men stood facing each other. Wen Yanxi's tall and straight figure remained motionless, and his stern profile showed no emotion at all.
"Humph, how could my uncle possibly agree to a wealthy lady?" Wen Qing curled his lips and wiped the edge of the bowl with the rag in his hand.
He had personally seen the most beautiful girl in the art troupe handing over a love letter with a blushing face, but his uncle didn't even glance at her!
Over the years, he even suspected that his uncle didn't like women.
Although Chen Zhaoyue is quite pretty, even prettier than the girls in the art troupe, her background is questionable and her personality is not good either, that's why his uncle doesn't like her!
After Wen Qing finished washing the dishes, the two people in the yard were still talking. Although Wen Yanxi had a cold face, the two of them looked quite harmonious.
Not long after, the two came back one after another.
Wen Qing glanced at Wen Yanxi's expression, feeling even more proud, and cast a provocative look at Chen Zhaoyue.
"How was your talk?" Wen Qimin asked with concern at the first moment.
Chen Zhaoyue first gave Wen Qing a disdainful look, then smiled at Wen Qimin and said, "Commander Wen, he agreed!"
Wen Qing: “……?!”
Wen Qimin clapped his thigh with joy and laughed heartily: "Good! Good!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Wen Qing stood up suddenly, and the chair legs made a harsh sound on the floor.
He opened his eyes wide and stared at his uncle as if he had seen a ghost.
This is Wen Yanxi!
How could the military region's famous "living devil" be taken down so easily?
Chen Zhaoyue snorted softly when she heard that, and suddenly took Wen Yanxi's arm like a well-behaved kitten.
She deliberately rubbed her face against the man's arm and said, "Why is it impossible? Yanxi likes me very much too~~"
The ending tone is soft and long, with a clear sense of arrogance.
“…”
Wen Qing sucked in a breath of cold air. Not only did his uncle not push her away, but he slightly adjusted his stance to let her lean more comfortably.
Under the light, Wen Yanxi's earlobes were so red that they were almost transparent.
Although he still maintained a stern look on his face, his tense jawline revealed his thoughts.
"You...you guys..." Wen Qing staggered back, covering his heart, as if he had been hit by a bullet in the chest.
He touched his face in pain. The slap came so fast and hard that it hurt even more than the bullet he got shot in actual combat exercises!
When Wen Qimin saw that Chen Zhaoyue really didn't mind Wen Yanxi's physical condition at all, the wrinkled corners of his eyes relaxed.
He patted Shen Zhaoyue's shoulder with relief, and the force was so strong that she almost staggered: "Good child, what a good child!"
Chen Zhaoyue immediately straightened her back, her eyebrows curved into obedient crescents: "Commander Wen, Yan Xi and I have already agreed, and I will move in with him later."
"Thank you for your care these two days." She said as she glanced at the tall figure beside her.
If it weren't for Mr. Wen's understanding of the bigger picture, it wouldn't have been so easy for her to choose Wen Yanxi, who was more to her liking.
Thinking of this, the smile on her lips became even sweeter.
"Okay, okay!" Wen Qimin laughed so hard that his beard was shaking. He waved his hand and agreed: "Yanxi will live in the back. It will be convenient for us to come and go in the future!"
After resolving this worry, the old man seemed to have become ten years younger.
"You little brat," he said, suddenly turning to glare at Wen Qing, who was still in a daze. "Why don't you help your aunt move the luggage? Don't waste all your energy."
Wen Qing suddenly came back to his senses, his face full of disbelief: "Grandpa, are you all crazy? She's a capitalist's daughter, very troublesome!"
