In the following week, Meng Qiancheng and Mu Qing took turns visiting Mu Qiao's family after get off work.
In front of them, Mu Qiao concealed her feelings very well. Even though she was suffering from severe morning sickness, she insisted on enduring it and not letting them notice any clues.
Mu Qiao was grateful for Meng Qiancheng and Mu Qing's concern, but she couldn't confess to them.
It’s not that she doesn’t trust them, but Mu Qiao doesn’t want more people to know about her pregnancy.
After all, she and Qiao Lubai are divorced now, and spreading the news would only cause trouble for Qiao Lubai.
The more low-key she is now, the better. Only when she is fine and nothing happens, can Qiao Lubai, who is on a mission, feel at ease.
Therefore, she had to transfer from Snow Wolf within three months, otherwise her belly would grow bigger and she would not be able to hide it even if she wanted to.

Military department.

...
Meng Qiancheng had just finished a meeting at the military headquarters when he received a summons from Mr. Qiao.
"Report!"
"Come in."
Meng Qiancheng pushed the door open and saw Mr. Qiao sitting on the sofa, waiting for him.
Meng Qiancheng walked over and saluted Qiao Lao, "Hello, Chief!"
"Okay." Mr. Qiao returned the greeting, "Please sit down."
Meng Qiancheng sat down upright, his posture elegant and impeccable.
He asked respectfully, "Commander, you are looking for me?"
"Yeah!" Old Qiao nodded.
At this time, the guard came in to pour tea.
After the guard left, Old Qiao slowly spoke and asked, "Xiao Meng, what do you think about Mu Qiao being transferred to the border defense force?"
Meng Qiancheng thought for a moment and frowned, "Commander, I feel that since Political Commissar Mu divorced Colonel Qiao, she has looked a bit listless, as if she is ill. Perhaps Snow Wolf has a good past with Colonel Qiao, which makes her feel uneasy, so she is depressed all day long. Perhaps being transferred away from Snow Wolf is a good thing for Political Commissar Mu. What do you think?"
Mr. Qiao was silent for a while, then nodded in agreement, "That makes sense."
After thinking for a while, Elder Qiao asked again, "Does Political Commissar Mu have any needs in life? If so, please tell me privately and I will help her solve it personally."
"It seems not." Meng Qiancheng was not sure. "Recently, I and Political Commissar Mu's sister often visit her. We have given her everything she needs in life, but we cannot provide her with spiritual needs."
"Alas!" Old Qiao sighed, "It was us, Lu Bai, who let her down. A good marriage was divorced just like that. No one can feel at ease."
Meng Qiancheng hurriedly helped Qiao Lubai explain, "Colonel Qiao is right. After all, this mission is very dangerous. We are trapped in danger every day. It is not easy to survive."
"Lu Bai is a traumatized child." Old Qiao sighed deeply, his face full of sadness. "After his father died, his mother was too sad and attempted suicide several times. She had no will to live. He was afraid that something would happen to him and Mu Qiao would end up like his mother."
Meng Qiancheng's face looked very heavy when he heard this. It turned out that Colonel Qiao had such a sad past. No wonder he insisted on divorcing Mu Qiao before going on the mission.
Now Meng Qiancheng finally knew the reason.
After returning from the military, Meng Qiancheng approved Mu Qiao's transfer order.
Old Qiao came to see him today and told him all the reasons. He also felt that Mu Qiao should leave Snow Wolf and go somewhere else to relax.
As for Colonel Joe, he should stay calm first and just report that he is safe.

It was three days later that Mu Qiao received the transfer order.
She immediately called her mother and younger sister Mu Qing to tell them that she would be going to the border at the end of this month.
Mu Qing didn't understand why her elder sister was so anxious to leave.
Mu's mother didn't say anything, but she was reluctant to let her daughter go far away. However, she knew the saying, "A revolutionary soldier is like a brick, and he will be moved wherever he is needed."
She supports Mu Qiao!
With his mother's support, Mu Qiao no longer had any worries.
Just the day before she was leaving, Meng Qiancheng suddenly came and said that Li Song and others wanted to perform the ritual for her.
Mu Qiao is suffering from morning sickness now, so he must not have any contact with them, especially Li Song, the gossip king.
Mu Qiao couldn't refuse politely, because all of Snow Wolf's comrades were friends with whom she had risked her life, and now that she was being transferred, no one was willing to let her go, so they specifically requested a farewell party.
What should I do?
When Mu Qiao was worried, Zhang Qian called and gave her some advice, "Qiao, you are stupid. Leave the camp at night without anyone noticing."
Mu Qiao felt a little reluctant, "Will this hurt the sincerity of our comrades?"
Zhang Qian laughed and said, "Then just wait for them to find you!"
After much deliberation, Mu Qiao decided to leave the camp overnight and quietly.
But the Snow Wolves had to register when leaving the camp, so how could she leave without being noticed?
Mu Qiao thought about it for a long time, and the only one who could help her was Meng Qiancheng.
After a long period of mental preparation, Mu Qiao finally walked into Meng Qiancheng's office.
After the two saluted each other, Mu Qiao said, "I want to leave the camp tonight. Can you personally send me there?"
Although one had to register when taking a ride with the captain, no one would ask about it because Meng Qiancheng often went out of the camp to attend meetings.
"Why are we leaving the camp tonight? There's a farewell party tomorrow?" Meng Qiancheng was a little confused.
"I want to leave quietly, without making a big fuss." Mu Qiao said his thoughts calmly without any emotional fluctuations.
Meng Qiancheng was becoming more and more confused about Mu Qiao. She used to be so direct and bold, but now she was so quiet and silent, unwilling to say anything. She looked like she was troubled and listless.
"Divorce is really hurtful." Meng Qiancheng summed it up.
Mu Qiao immediately agreed with him, with a sad look on his face, "Since my divorce, I have not been happy at all, so I want to leave early. Please help me!"
"Okay!" Meng Qiancheng had no reason to refuse.
At night, Meng Qiancheng drove Mu Qiao out of the Snow Wolf Camp. He deliberately drove very slowly to let Mu Qiao take a last look at every tree and blade of grass in the Snow Wolf Camp.
Parting is always sad. Watching the once familiar camp going away little by little, Mu Qiao felt mixed emotions and his eyes were red, unable to calm down for a long time.
Mu Qiao didn't look away until the camp was out of sight. Only then did she realize that she was in tears.
Seeing this, Meng Qiancheng took out a tissue and handed it to her, comforting her, "When you feel better, apply to be transferred back. As long as I am the captain of the Snow Wolf Team, I will accept you."
"Thank you, Captain Meng!" Mu Qiao wiped away his tears, forced a smile, and looked at Meng Qiancheng to express his gratitude.
Seeing her red eyes, Meng Qiancheng felt a little uncomfortable. He coughed lightly to cover up his emotions, "Why thank me? We are best friends and comrades."
"Yes!" Mu Qiao nodded with emotion, "Best friend, best comrade-in-arms."
At the same time, Mu Qiao silently apologized in his heart, "I'm sorry, my fellow Snow Wolf soldiers!"
The car arrived downstairs of Zhang Qian's house, and Meng Qiancheng helped Mu Qiao take down the luggage.
"Captain Meng, if you think Mu Qing is good, you can try dating her. Although she is not the best, she is the most suitable for you."
This is the couple that Mu Qiao has been trying to bring together since he became the political commissar.
Meng Qiancheng nodded somewhat awkwardly. He didn't know how he felt about Mu Qing, but he knew that he didn't reject her and had a good impression of her.
"Please take good care of her for me." This was Mu Qiao's final instruction to Meng Qiancheng.
"I will." Meng Qiancheng agreed. No matter whether he could develop a relationship with Mu Qing in the future, he would take good care of Mu Qing.
This was his promise to Mu Qiao, his good friend who had shared life with him.
"My good friend, take care!" Mu Qiao gave Meng Qiancheng the most standard military salute.
"Take care!" Meng Qiancheng returned the greeting.
Mu Qiao looked at him, pulled the suitcase, and turned around with a smile.
Watching Mu Qiao's back disappear at the entrance of the corridor, Meng Qiancheng felt extremely lonely. This was a feeling of loneliness he had never experienced before...
