Then, she threw herself into Chu Yan's arms.
Feeling the warmth and scent of the man she loved, Ye Nian'an closed her eyes contentedly.
From then on, they would never have to be separated by such a great distance again...
Chu Yan also held Ye Nian'an tightly, with just the right amount of strength, as if he were afraid of crushing the rare treasure in his arms.
"Why didn't you mention such an important decision when you called earlier?"
Ye Nian'an realized what was happening and pouted, complaining.
This transfer request could not possibly be a spur-of-the-moment decision; it must have been premeditated.
Chu Yan gently patted Ye Nian'an's back: "We dare not tell you things that are not yet certain, for fear that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment."
"I'll tell you now that I've made the decision, and it's almost Chinese New Year. Don't you think that's double the joy?"
Ye Nian'an snuggled against Chu Yan like a kitten, listened to his explanation, and raised her chin: "Hmm~ I'm quite satisfied with this explanation. Fine, I forgive your deception."
"By the way, when will you be officially transferred back to the Haicheng Military Region?"
Chu Yan thought for a moment and said, "After returning to the army after the New Year, plus some formalities, it will probably take another month. I'm sorry, Niannian, I'll have to keep you waiting for a while."
"We've waited so long, what's a mere month?"
"not to mention……"
Ye Nian'an rolled her eyes.
I already have a plan in mind.
Seeing Ye Nian'an's expression, Chu Yan, who knows his wife best, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Niannian, what kind of wicked thoughts are you plotting?"
"That's going too far! I wasn't even thinking of anything funny! But... I won't tell you, you'll find out when the time comes!"
"Oh? At that time..."
Chu Yan's eyes were deep and unfathomable, like a ferocious beast lurking in the shadows, fixed on his beloved wife, Little White Rabbit, in his arms.
"Niannian, you're being naughty."
"I'm going to teach you a lesson tonight."
"?"
Ye Nian'an couldn't help but shudder.
It felt like I had awakened a sleeping, hungry wolf.
What should I do?
Are we going to be working until the sun is high in the sky again?
On the other side.
A car slowly drove toward another property owned by the Chu family.
Chu Xin'er sat in the passenger seat, her face flushed from the dim light inside the car, and her bright eyes still sparkled with excitement.
She turned her head to look at the man beside her who was focused on driving, her mouth chattering away like a wound-up machine gun.
"Brother Song Yan, you have no idea how excited I was when my brother and the others were announced to be transferred back! I thought to myself, 'Great, now our family can finally be truly reunited!'"
"And my ten little nephews and nieces, they must be overjoyed too! Dad and Grandpa will be able to spend more time with them from now on, and their childhood will be complete without any regrets!"
Her voice was clear and melodious, carrying an infectious vitality.
Song Yan's hands were steady on the steering wheel. Upon hearing this, he turned his head and stared at her intently in the dim light.
That gaze was focused and burning, like a flame suppressed beneath a layer of ice.
It appears calm on the surface, but in reality, a turbulent storm is brewing beneath.
He didn't speak, but greedily inhaled the faint, sweet fragrance that belonged to her in this small space.
This chattering little girl is his, completely and utterly his alone.
The moment this thought crossed Song Yan's mind, her heart was gripped tightly by a powerful, almost irrational, possessiveness.
He wanted to hide her away, to hide her in a place only he knew about.
He wanted her to show all her joys and sorrows only to him.
He wanted her clear, cheerful laughter to ring only in his ears.
This damp and obsessive thought, like a vine, madly coiled around his heart.
Make him both enjoy and suffer.
He knew it was an illness, an incurable one.
He willingly endured his terminal illness.
"Brother Song Yan? Are you listening?"
Chu Xin'er noticed that he remained silent for a long time, just staring straight at her.
That gaze... was so deep it seemed to suck her whole being in.
Her cheeks suddenly felt hot, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Yes, I'm listening."
Song Yan finally came to his senses, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily, his voice a few degrees hoarseer than before.
He looked away and refocused on the road ahead.
Yet the intense presence and oppressive aura emanating from him remained undiminished.
Chu Xin'er felt a little uncomfortable. She subconsciously pulled her coat tighter around herself and muttered softly, "Why...why were you looking at me like that just now?"
"nice."
Song Yan uttered two words succinctly.
Simple, direct, yet it strikes right at the heart.
Chu Xin'er's heart pounded as if struck by something, instantly throwing her off balance.
Her cheeks burned even hotter, as if they had been scorched by a fiery sunset, and even the roots of her ears were flushed with an alluring pink.
This man!
You're getting better and better at it!
The aloof guy from before can now say sweet nothings without batting an eye; he's practically a walking hormone generator!
The atmosphere inside the car instantly became subtly ambiguous because of those two words.
Chu Xin'er dared not look at him anymore, and could only turn her head to the window, pretending to look at the scenery.
But out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but glance at his cold, handsome profile.
He drove with great focus, his jawline taut, exuding the determination and decisiveness befitting a noble heir.
