Zhou, the deputy battalion commander, and his men responded and set off with their horses, guns, and the two people Jiang Wenwan had captured.
Jiang Wenwan suddenly thought:
"Oh right, my horse was shot dead on the road. Who should go and get it back?"
Company Commander Sun immediately spoke up.
"I'll go!"
Before Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou could even open his mouth, he was interrupted, and Zhou couldn't help but glance at him.
That kid's got a fast tongue.
Zhou Yunting escorted Jiang Wenwan to the family compound; by then it was already completely dark.
As the two walked towards the family compound, Zhou Yunting reached out and tightened his grip on Jiang Wenwan's hand.
Are you really not hurt?
I can hardly imagine the dangers you faced alone, confronting two armed thugs, to win.
Although I knew you had it, I'm still terrified. I should have had someone escort you back!
Sensing the emotions of the person beside her, Jiang Wenwan also squeezed his hand tightly in return.
"Don't worry, since you know I have something that can save your life, you don't need to worry."
It's a good thing you didn't send anyone to take me back. If you had, they might have really been in danger of being killed.
I was ambushed on my way home at night, and my horse was killed.
If they weren't trying to keep me alive, I would really be in danger.
If you send someone to take me back, they will definitely not spare the person who escorted me.
So you don't need to feel guilty; you made the right decision.
As soon as she finished speaking, she was embraced in a warm hug.
"I'm so glad you're alright. Do you know how worried I was that something might have happened to you?"
As he pulled her into his arms, Jiang Wenwan felt a warmth spread through her body.
He reached out and patted his broad back reassuringly.
"It's alright, your wife is an iron lady, how could anything happen to her?"
Zhou Yunting was curious about what she said.
"The Steel Queen?"
Jiang Wenwan hadn't yet left his embrace, and said softly:
"That's right! People are made of iron, and food is steel."
"Isn't iron that has been processed into steel just steel?"
Zhou Yunting smiled when he heard her explanation.
"Then I'm steel too,"
"Straight man! Pfft, you're a total straight man, hahaha."
Jiang Wenwan chuckled softly, afraid that her voice would be too loud and wake others.
Hearing her describe herself as a "straight man," Zhou Yunting thought for a moment and then nodded, saying:
Yes, I'm very straightforward!
Honey, I've missed you so much since I was away on a mission.
He lowered his head to ask for a kiss, but Jiang Wenwan covered his mouth with her hand.
"Don't be impulsive, now is not the time. Although it is night, you don't want to stay here, do you?"
If we get caught, it will have a bad influence. People will think we're some kind of illicit couple, and we'll lose all face.
"Let's get out of here quickly. After we deal with these people, then we can..."
Zhou Yunting was already aroused just by holding his wife, but he could only suppress it for the moment.
He looked at Jiang Wenwan with a mournful expression. Her eyes were exceptionally beautiful in the darkness. His wife was beautiful no matter what, and he couldn't get enough of looking at her.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and taking advantage of Jiang Wenwan's inattention, he cupped her face and kissed her.
"Waaah!"
The two separated after a moment, and Jiang Wenwan rolled her eyes at him with an annoyed smile.
It was pitch black at night, thankfully she turned off the flashlight, otherwise what if someone saw it!
"Hurry up and stop dawdling. Look at your watch, what time is it?"
As she spoke, she shone a flashlight on her watch to show him.
"It's ten o'clock, if we keep dawdling it will be midnight!"
Zhou Yunting licked his lips in the darkness.
"You still haven't told me if you've missed me?"
"I miss it, I miss it so much!"
Let's hurry up and go, stop being so lovey-dovey.
The two went to knock on Zhou's parents' door in the middle of the night.
The next morning, Jiang Wenwan woke up alone in the room.
Zhou Yunting was naturally on a mission, and left that night after dropping her off and settling her in.
Six-year-old Zhou Ye got up early in the morning and saw Jiang Wenwan washing up in the yard.
He ran over excitedly and shouted:
"Sister-in-law, what brings you here?"
When did you arrive? Did you miss me?
Shen Meiling, who had come out, looked at Zhou Ye with amusement.
"Your sister-in-law came in the middle of the night, when you were sleeping soundly!"
Hurry up and wash up and eat, you still have to go to school.
Zhou Ye smacked his lips, looking at Shen Meiling with a pitiful expression.
"My sister-in-law is coming today, can't I take a day off to be with her?"
Jiang Wenwan was amused by his words.
"I wouldn't dare trouble you to take time off work to accompany me."
You'd better hurry up, or you'll be late!
I was counting on you to bring me back a big award certificate!
Zhou Ye smiled smugly.
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, I'm a very good student."
I can remember everything the teacher says; I'm the best student in our class.
After Jiang Wenwan finished washing up and tidying her clothes, she watched the boy smugly washing his face.
How many people are in your class?
"Fifteen of them!"
Wow! Quite a few people here!
"That's right!"
Seeing him proudly puffing out his little chest, Jiang Wenwan found it amusing.
"Alright, hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face."
Zhou Ye asked her while brushing his teeth:
"Sister-in-law, you still haven't told me why you came here?"
Remember to wake me up next time you come over at night.
He's such a little adult.
Zhou's father left early in the morning, seeing Zhou Ye off to school. Only Shen Meiling and Jiang Wenwan were at home.
Shen Meiling took out a few balls of yarn and handed them to her, saying:
"You can knit the scarf from last time, right?"
I had my family mail me some more yarn.
See if there's anything you want, and I'll teach you how to knit something else!
