Chu Yan became more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and he pinched Ye Nian'an's little finger.
Seeing Commander Chu looking so jealous because he had fallen out of favor, Ye Nian'an laughed so hard she almost fell over, eventually collapsing into his arms.
"Pfft... Hahaha... Brother Yan, how childish are you!"
"I'm very serious!"
Chu Yan kept a straight face, but his ears were secretly turning red.
Ye Nian'an finally managed to stop laughing. She reached out and cupped Chu Yan's handsome face in her hands, giving him a deep kiss on his thin lips.
She looked into his eyes, and the smile in them was like shattered starlight, dazzling and captivating.
"Good to know."
Ye Nian'an proudly raised her chin: "From now on, you need to know your place at home."
Chu Yan smiled helplessly yet indulgently, lowered his head, pressed his forehead against hers, their noses touched, and their breaths mingled.
"Okay, my heroine wife, I'll listen to you from now on."
"That's more like it."
Ye Nian'an nodded in satisfaction, then softened her voice to soothe her "jealous pot".
"But don't worry, the children and I are eager to hear about your glorious history."
"So, when Commander Chu has some free time, how about we formally and solemnly take your number one admirer, me, and those three little admirers, to tour the 74th Division and tell us about your journey?"
Under the lights, her eyes sparkled, and her smile was radiant.
Chu Yan's heart was instantly filled to the brim.
All the resentment and jealousy vanished, leaving only endless love and tenderness.
He lowered his head and kissed that soft spot that intoxicated him.
"Okay, it's a deal."
A week has passed.
During this period, the 74th Military Region experienced a major earthquake.
After the disciplinary notices for Wang Jianguo and others were issued, the atmosphere throughout the military region became much cleaner.
Ye Nian'an's name spread to every corner of the military region at an almost legendary speed.
She is no longer just the "lucky koi-shaped regimental commander's wife who gave birth to ten children"; her image in the hearts of the soldiers has quietly been upgraded.
She was a lone heroine who cleverly captured enemy agents and protected state secrets on a train.
She is a "heroine of investigation" who has keen insight and single-handedly eradicated the scourge of corruption in the military.
He was also a "miracle doctor in the army" with superb medical skills, capable of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones.
With all these accolades surrounding her, Ye Nian'an was enveloped in a mysterious and dazzling aura.
Today, Chu Yan finally finished his work and was about to take his "renowned" heroine wife and three equally famous "little lucky babies" on a formal tour of the 74th Division where he had fought for many years.
The three little ones were as excited as three sparrows just released from their cages. Each of them wore a brand-new tiger-head military uniform, and with their short legs, they followed behind their parents with great pride and arrogance. They looked incredibly proud.
"This is our main training ground..."
As Chu Yan introduced the place, even before he got close, the aura of steel and blood mixed with sweat and yellow earth, along with the deafening shouts of "Kill! Kill! Kill!" rushed towards him.
The three little ones' eyes widened instantly, and they instinctively gripped their parents' hands tightly.
On the wide parade ground, hundreds of shirtless soldiers were engaged in brutal combat training.
Under the scorching sun, sweating profusely, every punch and kick they threw carried a fierce and powerful force, as if they wanted to tear the enemy apart.
Chu Yan, holding Ye Nian'an's hand and carrying the youngest San San, with Da Da and Er Er following behind, had just stepped onto the edge of the training field when the battalion commander in charge of supervising the training spotted him with sharp eyes.
"Attention, everyone! Stand at attention!"
With a roar from the battalion commander, hundreds of soldiers who were still fiercely fighting instantly stopped, turned around in unison, faced Chu Yan, stood straight, and moved in perfect unison.
"Greetings to Commander Chu!"
"Greetings, Commander Chu!!!"
The shouts of hundreds of people were like thunder.
The three little ones had never seen anything like this before. They trembled with fear and hid behind their parents, only daring to peek their little heads out from between their trouser legs, watching the shocking scene before them with curiosity and awe.
"At ease."
Chu Yan returned the salute, signaling them to continue training.
However, the soldiers' gazes had already uncontrollably and uniformly shifted past their revered commander and landed on the woman and three little children beside him.
"Look, look! Isn't that Chu Tuan's wife? My God, she's a million times prettier than the rumors say!"
"Is that our heroine's sister-in-law? The one who catches spies and eradicates scourges? Wow, she looks so gentle, but her methods are so ruthless!"
"And those three little ones! See them? They're like the golden boys and jade girls in New Year's paintings, so blessed!"
"My mom said that seeing a live koi is like seeing a living Buddha. I should take a good look at it and soak up some of its good fortune. Maybe I can get first place in the next exercise!"
Although the soldiers were whispering very quietly, Ye Nian'an had excellent hearing and heard everything clearly, which made him both amused and exasperated.
Chu Yan had a helpless look on his face, as if to say, "I knew this would happen," but his straight back and slightly upturned lips completely betrayed his pride and smugness at that moment.
"Papa".
Da Da tilted her little face up, tugged at Chu Yan's trouser leg, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have to work this hard every day? They fight so hard, it looks so painful."
Chu Yan squatted down, patted Da Da's head, and looked at Er Er and San San, who also looked distressed, his voice incredibly gentle.
"This isn't fighting, it's training. Because Daddy and Uncles sweat a lot and practice their skills regularly, they can protect our country, our home, and you and Mommy when bad guys come."
The three little ones nodded as if they understood but not quite.
But when they looked at the uncles sweating profusely on the playground, and then at their own fathers who were as tall as mountains beside them, their eyes, for the first time, lost their pure curiosity and gained a deep respect and understanding.
So that's how hard and amazing Dad's work is every day.
"Come on, Daddy will take you to see something even more amazing."
Chu Yan led the children to the armored vehicle garage not far away.
When those camouflaged tanks and armored vehicles, resembling steel behemoths, came into view, the three little ones' mouths once again formed an "O" shape.
Wow—! A huge car! What a huge car!
San San clapped her little hands excitedly.
"This is not a car, this is a tank, the king of the land."
Chu Yan smiled and corrected him, picking up a child and letting their little hands touch the tank's armor.
“Daddy used to drive it into battle.”
The three little ones' eyes lit up: "Wow! Daddy's amazing!"
Just then, a burly figure came galloping from not far away.
"Commander! Sister-in-law!"
The person who came was Li Dazhu.
He ran up to her and, without saying a word, was about to kneel down in front of Ye Nian'an with a thud!
Ye Nian'an reacted quickly, catching him in her arms and frowning slightly: "Comrade Li Dazhu, what are you doing!"
