Mu Jingheng accurately grasped the word "misunderstanding," and he said coldly, "She wouldn't be misunderstanding you and Ouyang Changshan, would she?"
Xu Xinning: "It's going to be like this, barring any unforeseen circumstances."
Mu Jingheng: "Did she do anything inappropriate to you?"
Hsu Hsin-ning: "He kept pointing at me and questioning me."
Mu Jingheng: "She actually dared to point her finger at you and question you? Is Ouyang Changshan dead?"
Xu Xinning smiled nonchalantly and said, "Someone has already avenged me."
Mu Jingheng: "Ouyang Changshan?"
Hsu Hsin-ning: "Someone you would never expect."
Mu Jingheng: "Hmm?"
Xu Xinning: "It was the cafeteria lady who defended me; she even rebuked Ouyang Changshan."
Xu Mujingheng laughed: "My wife is so popular! What about Ouyang Changshan?"
Xu Xinning: "I guess Ouyang Changshan had a fight with his girlfriend. He's been in a bad mood these past few days and doesn't even want to talk."
Mu Jingheng: "Why keep a woman like that around like a queen? What kind of man is this, so indecisive?"
Xu Xinning smiled but didn't say anything.
Mu Jingheng: "Let's go back to the compound tomorrow. Grandpa and Dad said they miss you, and they even asked Auntie to buy an old hen to stew for you tomorrow!"
Xu Xinning hasn't been back for about ten days. Mu Jinghuai has already returned to the army with Qin Yao, and now the Qin family home is quiet and deserted again.
When Mu Jingheng went to carry out his mission, Grandpa Mu originally wanted his nanny to come and take care of Xu Xinning, but Xu Xinning did not agree. How would Grandpa Mu and Mu Zhenting live without a nanny?
Xu Xinning was really tired after a long day, not to mention Mu Jingheng, who hadn't slept well for several days.
The two of them washed up and went to bed early.
Xu Xinning was woken up in the middle of the night by Mu Jingheng's shouts.
Xu Xinning turned on the bedside lamp and looked at Mu Jingheng sleeping next to her.
At this moment, Mu Jingheng was covered in sweat, as if he were having a nightmare. He seemed very nervous, his eyes were closed but his eyeballs kept moving, his body was also moving constantly, and he was muttering something indistinctly.
This was the first time Xu Xinning had seen him like this since she and Mu Jingheng got married.
Mu Jingheng is usually very alert and sleeps very peacefully, but Xu Xinning is often a restless sleeper and likes to put her feet on Mu Jingheng's body.
Judging from Mu Jingheng's condition, Xu Xinning guessed that it might be related to his mission this time.
Xu Xinning gently patted Mu Jingheng's face and called out, "Jingheng, Mu Jingheng, wake up!"
Mu Jingheng did not react, seemingly trapped in a nightmare from which he could not escape.
Xu Xinning pinched his nose and called out, "Jingheng, Jingheng, wake up!"
No matter how Xu Xinning called him, Mu Jingheng just wouldn't wake up.
With no other option, Xu Xinning had to take out silver needles and prick his acupoints.
Xu Xinning gave Mu Jingheng three acupuncture needles before he slowly opened his eyes.
When Mu Jingheng opened his eyes, his gaze was very confused, and his pupils remained dilated for a long time.
Xu Xinning inserted two more needles into his head, and Mu Jingheng slowly regained his senses.
Mu Jingheng's condition is quite worrying for Xu Xinning.
Xu Xinning: "Jingheng~"
Mu Jingheng was a bit dazed. He seemed to hear someone calling him repeatedly from afar. He wanted to respond, but the voice seemed a bit distant.
Xu Xinning looked at the stunned Mu Jingheng and felt an indescribable heartache.
Xu Xinning: "Jingheng, are you alright?"
Superstitiously speaking, Mu Jingheng's situation could be attributed to possession by an evil spirit. Scientifically speaking, Mu Jingheng likely suffered trauma during the mission.
It took Mu Jingheng a long time to speak, but when his voice came out, both of them were stunned. Mu Jingheng's voice sounded like it had been ravaged, like scrap metal.
Xu Xinning poured him a glass of water and fed it to him, then asked, "What did you see in your dream?"
Mu Jingheng: "There was a big tree in the distance, and my mother was standing under the tree. I wanted to run over to find her, but my legs seemed to be rooted to the spot, and I just couldn't take a step. When I looked down, I saw that I was being hugged by two men whose faces I couldn't see. I tried to break free, but I couldn't break free no matter what I did."
Xu Xinning: "That's it?"
Mu Jingheng thought for a moment and then said, "I think my mom is crying, as if she wants to tell me something."
Mu Jingheng rubbed his forehead, took Xu Xinning's hand, and said apologetically, "It was just a dream. I was probably too stressed during this mission."
Xu Xinning didn't say anything, but she felt that the matter seemed strange.
Mu Jingheng has excellent mental fortitude. He underwent psychological testing before being able to join Old Jiang's department, so Xu Xinning didn't think it was due to nervousness.
When are they not stressed at work?
Xu Xinning massaged Mu Jingheng's head and then lit a calming incense stick.
Xu Xinning hadn't lit incense in a long time; she noticed that people in this era didn't seem to have the habit of burning incense in their rooms.
The Xu family doesn't burn incense; they only light mugwort sticks when there are many mosquitoes in the summer.
Kyoto is full of gossip and trouble, so Xu Xinning stopped burning incense after arriving in Kyoto.
Xu Xinning's calming incense worked very well, and Mu Jingheng fell asleep again in no time.
Xu Xinning was still worried, so she took out the jade that the big boss had given her last time and put it around Mu Jingheng's neck.
Jade can not only moisturize the skin and promote blood circulation, but also help improve sleep and relieve insomnia and anxiety.
The jade given by the high-ranking leader is of great significance, and Xu Xinning hopes it can suppress some unfounded rumors.
Xu Xinning took Mu Jingheng's pulse and found that he was in good health. Seeing that he looked relaxed, she breathed a sigh of relief and lay down next to him.
The next day, when Xu Xinning opened her eyes, she heard people talking in the living room.
Xu Xinning got dressed and tidied herself up before going out. It turned out that it was Fu Zhihong, Grandpa Mu's orderly, who had arrived.
Xu Xinning felt that she hadn't seen him for a long time; he must have been sent out by Grandpa Mu on some secret mission.
Fu Zhihong was quite familiar with Xu Xinning, and when he saw her come out, he greeted her, "Comrade Xu, the old commander sent me to pick you up."
This was the first time Fu Zhihong had ever seen Xu Xinning pregnant. He had heard that she was carrying twins, which he found quite unusual, so he couldn't help but look at Xu Xinning's belly.
Xu Xinning placed her hand on her large belly and replied with a smile, "Brother Fu, it's been a long time!"
Fu Zhihong said, "It has been a long time. Time flies. The last time I saw you, you were just a young girl, and now you're a soon-to-be mother. I've prepared your wedding gifts. I missed witnessing your marriage registration, so I'm determined not to miss your wedding next time."
