When Chu Wanfang heard her daughter's voice, she knew without asking that it was the sound of an argument.
"Don't be so loud. Let's discuss this properly tomorrow. You woke up Da Nian with your noise." Da Nian was startled awake from his sleep, and Chu Wanfang was also awakened by Da Nian's actions. They then heard Shen Qiaoyue's voice.
Shen Qiaoyue heard Da Nian being startled awake by her voice, and Shen Qiaoyue also realized that she had overreacted.
"Mom, Qiaoyue and I will go to sleep right away, don't worry," Lu Chen quickly added.
Shen Qiaoyue sniffed. She didn't know why she suddenly got angry with Lu Chen today.
She had always known that Lu Chen was that kind of person, not good at comforting people.
In that instant, she lost control, and then Lu Chen said something about retiring and changing careers, but still working as a security guard at her workplace. She just couldn't hold back anymore.
Lu Chen also realized that he had said something wrong.
Chu Wanfang stood at the door for a long time, and only turned around and went back to her room to sleep when there was no sound.
The sound is clearly from an argument.
Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen faced each other in silence.
She kept sobbing, tears dripping onto the back of her hand and then onto the blanket.
Lu Chen leaned closer, wiped away Shen Qiaoyue's tears, and held her in his arms.
“Honey, I shouldn’t have said those things and made you misunderstand. I heard you say that the kids and you were scared because I was going out on a mission. I’ve thought about it a lot, and maybe it would be better to transfer to civilian work. It’s not because of what you said about these people. I just thought you wanted me to transfer to civilian work. I want to work as a security guard in your factory so that I can be closer to you! Because I can’t think of what I would do after I transfer to civilian work. I’m such a clumsy person. I grew up in the military. If I leave the military, I really won’t know how to do anything.”
"Honey, I'm so clumsy. I don't even know how to comfort you. I'm sorry. Don't be sad, okay? I'm scared. I'm scared that the more I say, the more mistakes I'll make, and the angrier you'll get." Lu Chen had been nervous ever since Shen Qiaoyue started crying. When he was nervous, he really couldn't do anything.
Shen Qiaoyue leaned against Lu Chen's chest and angrily continued to pound on Lu Chen's chest several more times.
It's satisfying, but there's also a sense of helplessness.
"Why can't you comfort me? You watch me cry, and it makes me feel like I'm being unreasonable." Shen Qiaoyue really felt angry when she saw Lu Chen's expressionless face.
“Wife, it’s my fault, I’ll try my best to correct it,” Lu Chen said again.
“I know you can’t do any work outside of the army, but who told you to say that? It made it sound like I was forcing you to retire. It really made me angry. If you had just said it differently, I wouldn’t be so angry.” Shen Qiaoyue understood that Lu Chen grew up in the army and didn’t know much about the outside world. He could only communicate normally with men in the army and couldn’t connect with other people.
Sometimes, the things he says can really infuriate you.
When Shen Qiaoyue felt wronged, she wanted Lu Chen to comfort her, but every time she ended up comforting herself.
“I’m actually afraid of the outside world. Honey, I’ve thought about it for a long time. I can’t stay in the army forever. That would mean I have less time to spend with my family! I’ve thought about it a lot. If I leave the army, I can only work as a security guard. You know, becoming a policeman is also very busy. I won’t have time to take care of my family at all.”
Moreover, he is really bad at interpersonal relationships and doesn't know how to flatter his superiors at all.
It's alright in the army, but once he leaves, he really won't know anything and will have to endure a lot of beatings. He doesn't know if he can withstand it.
"Besides, after the military service, the income won't be high, and you'll really have to suffer with me." Lu Chen had too many things to consider; with a family, he had to think about making a living.
Shen Qiaoyue's hand was held tightly by Lu Chen. Her husband was like a silly child who didn't understand anything.
"Then don't transfer to civilian work. You should work hard to get promoted and train more new recruits. That way, you won't have to stay on the front line all the time. If you have a position like your brother or brother-in-law, you won't have to go out on missions so often. You can stay in the army. Isn't that great?"
Lu Chen smiled and nodded, kissed Shen Qiaoyue's forehead, and whispered, "Okay, I'll try my best and I definitely won't let my wife down."
"Lu Chen, don't blame me for being selfish. If you don't want me to overthink things, you have to promise not to get hurt, or wherever you are, as long as you come back alive, I'll be content. I don't care if you get promoted, or if you can make money, I just want you to live. What if! I mean, what if you really get hurt? It doesn't matter, you must live... you must live, so that I and the children will have a pillar of support, and this family won't fall apart!"
This was Shen Qiaoyue's only request, her only request to Lu Chen.
"Okay, I'll listen to whatever you say, my wife. Even if the King of Hell wants to take me away in the future, I'll fight my way out of his clutches and come back to your side." Lu Chen said to Shen Qiaoyue with reddened eyes and a promise in a firm tone.
Shen Qiaoyue felt she had cried too much and was too tired today, so she fell asleep in Lu Chen's arms.
Lu Chen quietly looked at Shen Qiaoyue, her eyes swollen from crying, and felt very guilty.
Over the years, it has always been his wife who has made sacrifices and silently supported him. Even when he finally complained, he didn't offer any comfort. He is a real failure and incompetent husband.
His wife is so easy to please, so why can't he learn to love and care for her?
Shen Qiaoyue had no idea what Lu Chen was thinking. As long as Lu Chen held her, she could sleep soundly.
Lu Chen hugged his little wife tightly. When it came to coaxing his wife, Lu Chen could only learn from Xu Qianli, who had a method for doing things step by step.
