Since the last incident, He Jingwen divorced his promiscuous wife. Although they are special forces soldiers with willpower and self-control many times stronger than ordinary people, they are still human, and they also experience pain. Therefore, it's not impossible that He Jingwen might have been distracted by the divorce.
Huo Qingfeng hummed in agreement and said nothing more.
Ling Ruoke tilted her head back, reached out and touched his face, then propped herself up and kissed his forehead. "It's okay, it'll be alright. Once He Jingwen has recovered, I'll introduce him to a nice girl. One of our company's assistants is a very reliable person; I think she'd be a good match for He Jingwen."
"Okay." Huo Qingfeng gently rubbed against his wife's palm like a child. He suddenly got up from the bedside, knelt on the floor, hugged his wife's waist, and pressed his face against her abdomen. Quietly, without saying a word.
Ling Ruoke didn't speak, but stroked his short hair, letting him calm down slowly. She knew he loved every one of his soldiers; this love was ingrained in his bones. That's why he would grieve for a while whenever someone was injured. On the contrary, when he himself was injured, he was still cheerful and didn't seem to care.
"Wife," Huo Qingfeng said in a muffled voice, nestled in her arms.
Ling Ruoke's gaze softened as she gently responded. Even the strongest man is sometimes just a child, like her colonel. She enjoyed this feeling of being relied upon; it brought their hearts closer.
"If all women in the world were as good as you, that would be wonderful." Huo Qingfeng looked up at his wife's gentle face. In the military, marital breakdowns were common. These soldiers, in particular, valued marriage and family highly, and each breakdown was a devastating blow.
Ling Ruoke let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Life is still long, this is just a hurdle. Once you get over it, the future will be better, so don't be sad."
Huo Qingfeng smiled slightly, placing his large hand on her lower abdomen and stroking it back and forth. "Wife, when will she move?"
Ling Ruoke's smile softened even more. She placed her hand on his, feeling their baby together. "It'll be soon. Didn't they say the baby would start moving after four months? It's almost time." Her voice was full of anticipation.
Huo Qingfeng suddenly lifted her clothes, startling her. He leaned down and gently kissed her pregnant belly. It was soft, like a feather falling.
Ling Ruoke slowly closed her eyes, savoring this moment of peace and happiness. Happiness, it turns out, is so simple! Happiness has always been this simple!
Huo Qingfeng was very satisfied and leisurely went to the bathroom to take a cold shower.
Huo Qingfeng warmed his body by rubbing it, then lifted the covers, climbed in, and pulled her into his arms. "Husband is holding you, let's sleep."
Ling Ruoke rubbed against his chest and quickly fell asleep.
Huo Qingfeng waited until she was fast asleep before quietly getting up and dressing. A short while later, he disappeared into the night.
His wife, nestled in bed, was fast asleep, clutching his pillow.
Although He Jingwen's injury is not life-threatening, it is quite serious, as it damaged his lungs. Therefore, he needs to rest and recuperate, and he will be unable to go on missions for several months.
Huo Qingfeng said that after surviving such a brush with death, He Jingwen had a sudden realization. The old He Jingwen had returned, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Ling Ruoke then began planning a blind date for He Jingwen and Li Jun. This decision naturally received the full support of Colonel Huo, who doted on his wife, and he even spoke to He Jingwen about it.
Unexpectedly, He Jingwen readily agreed without even hesitating. He even shamelessly tugged at Huo Qingfeng, saying, "Captain, you absolutely have to make sure your wife finds me someone just as good as her!"
Huo Qingfeng pulled the corner of his clothes that Huo Qingfeng was holding onto away, glared at him with a pout, and roared, "Dream on! My wife is such a good person, there's only one like her in the world, no one else can compare!" His tone and expression were incredibly arrogant.
Later, someone told Ling Ruoke, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter. At the same time, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She knew that he meant what he said, and that he wasn't just saying it to spite He Jingwen.
Ling Ruoke naturally wanted to bring the two of them together as soon as possible, but He Jingwen was still in the hospital, so she had to postpone it. Once He Jingwen was discharged and went home to recuperate, she immediately arranged a time for them to meet for a blind date.
Special forces aren't something you can just come and go as you please, so Ling Ruoke arranged their blind date at their family's villa. It's been almost two months since she's been home; she wants to go back and tidy up, lest the house really get overrun with mosquitoes.
Of course, Huo Qingfeng was absolutely worried about his wife leaving the army and returning to the city alone. Therefore, he took her into account when arranging the time; what was supposed to be a blind date for two was actually a meal for four people.
He Jingwen and Li Jun didn't appear until the next day. Huo Qingfeng took his wife home first to clean the house. His wife was heavily pregnant, and Huo Qingfeng couldn't bear to let her do any work. So, in the end, Ling Ruoke supervised the cleaning while Huo Qingfeng gave it a thorough cleaning. Luckily, he was in good shape; he cleaned such a large house without even breaking a sweat!
I spent most of the day cleaning the house, and ate dinner early in the evening.
Just as I was about to speak, my phone rang.
Huo Qingfeng took the maternity-protective radiation suit and hung it around her neck, then answered the phone. It was his mother, Yang Ziyun. "Hello, Mom?" After the passion subsided, he felt quite satisfied and a little languid.
"You little rascal, you better watch out!" Yang Ziyun recognized her son's voice and tone immediately. Truly, no one knows a son better than his mother!
Ling Ruoke was stunned by Yang Ziyun's sudden remark, but then understood after the colonel winked.
Huo Qingfeng would have almost burst out laughing if he hadn't been talking to his mother. He thought to himself, "How can my wife be so adorable!"
Ling Ruoke looked at the two rows of teeth marks on his chin, smiled with satisfaction, and even reached out to touch them. His skin was thick, and the marks disappeared in no time. She took another bite, it disappeared, then she bit again… like a child, treating it like a game.
"Honey, Mom wants to talk to you." Huo Qingfeng reached out and touched her face, handing her the phone. He then pulled her into his arms, listening to her talk to her mother while gently stroking her belly. It was already quite prominent there; she'd probably be kicking her mother mischievously soon.
"Mom," Ling Ruoke called softly, her voice clearly carrying a hint of coquetry. She was now quite used to acting coquettishly with Yang Ziyun, having been spoiled by her.
"Ruo Ke, how are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell? If the child is making a fuss, go and make a fuss with the child's father. That's what I did back then."
Upon hearing this, Ling Ruoke chuckled and glanced at Huo Qingfeng with a smug look. "Mom, I'll listen to you. If the child bothers me, I'll go beat up his father."
Huo Qingfeng received a flirtatious glance from his wife, and the flame that had just been extinguished suddenly felt like it was about to reignite. Ruoke's relationship with her mother was getting better and better; her mother doted on her even more than he, her son. Thinking of this, he felt very comforted and at ease.
After chatting with Yang Ziyun for a while, Ling Ruoke happily hung up the phone. "Mom said you're thick-skinned; if I'm unhappy, I can hit or scold you all I want, and she won't mind at all! Hehe..."
Huo Qingfeng raised his hand and pinched her rosy cheek, laughing, "Now you're the person Mom dotes on the most, aren't you proud of yourself?"
Ling Ruoke stuck out her tongue and giggled foolishly. She also felt that Yang Ziyun was treating her better and better. She sighed contentedly, relaxing and nestling in his arms. "Huo Qingfeng, I feel like the happiest person in the world right now!"
"I've finally achieved my goal." Huo Qingfeng smiled and kissed her cheek. He had been working so hard, wanting only to make her the happiest woman!
Ling Ruoke smiled radiantly and took the initiative to cling to him, giving him a lingering, deep kiss that left her breathless and her eyes filled with seductive allure!
Huo Qingfeng's lust was immediately aroused by her appearance, but thankfully his mind remained clear. It was getting late, and the pregnant woman needed to rest. "Wife, don't seduce me, I won't be able to resist!" He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead. "It's late, go to sleep."
"Hmm. I need to go to the restroom." Ling Ruoke covered her mouth and yawned, her voice full of coquettishness.
After saying that, Huo Qingfeng picked her up and took her into the bathroom.
Back on the bed, Huo Qingfeng laid down on his own, letting her find the most comfortable position nestled against him on her side. Almost as soon as she closed her eyes, she drifted into a deep sleep, never waking up during the night.
They fell asleep in each other's arms, and both had sweet dreams all night.
The next day, Ling Ruoke was led by the hand to the market to buy things.
Huo Qingfeng initially didn't want her to go, but he couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he had to take her along. Fortunately, there were only four of them, and they didn't need to buy too much.
Back home, Ling Ruoke continued to act as the director and supervisor. She was already very used to this role and did it with ease. Huo Qingfeng, on the other hand, was a diligent and hardworking ox, obeying his wife's every command.
To their surprise, He Jingwen and Li Jun arrived almost an hour early, one after the other.
Ling Ruoke introduced the two. He Jingwen, being a married man, remained calm and composed. Li Junke, on the other hand, became nervous, struggling to speak properly and unsure of what to do with her hands and feet.
Ling Ruoke had intended for them to sit and chat outside, but Li Jun followed her into the kitchen, insisting on helping. No matter what she said, she refused to leave. In the end, the cooking was left to Li Jun. She was astonished to discover that Li Jun was actually a culinary expert!
"Li Jun, what do you think of He Jingwen?" Ling Ruoke asked with a smile as she stood to the side.
While cooking, Li Jun blushed and stammered, "It's fine."
Although He Jingwen wasn't particularly handsome, soldiers are typically tall, have a straight posture, and are energetic, which gives them a good impression.
Ling Ruoke understood that Li Jun had taken a liking to her. She knew that this girl had a slight inferiority complex, especially when it came to choosing a partner. "Later, Sister Ruo will go and sound him out for you, see what He Jingwen's attitude is." Her intuition told her that her first matchmaking attempt had been successful!
Outside the living room, Huo Qingfeng was also asking He Jingwen, "What do you think of that girl?"
"I think it's great." He Jingwen scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed in front of the captain. "We're the kind of people who risk our lives, so it's good enough that the girl doesn't look down on us. How could we dare to be picky?"
Love among soldiers is often quiet and uneventful, lacking any dramatic intensity. They don't have the time or the opportunity for such passion. For them, a marriage that lasts is already a great stroke of luck.
Huo Qingfeng raised his hand and slapped his shoulder hard a few times. He knew that he had just gone through a divorce and lacked confidence in love and marriage. If Ruoke hadn't personally introduced him, he probably wouldn't have come to this blind date.
Before long, dishes were served one after another, emitting a rich aroma. The table was laden with food, a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.
"Wash your hands and let's eat." Ling Ruoke brought out the last dish, while Li Jun was making soup in the kitchen. "Just to clarify, I didn't cook today; all these dishes were made by Li Jun."
He Jingwen stared at the table full of food for a moment, then paused. "It looks delicious. I can't wait any longer."
Ling Ruoke smiled and playfully winked at her husband. This amused Huo Qingfeng so much that he couldn't resist pinching her cheek as He Jingwen turned to wash her hands.
The atmosphere at the dinner table wasn't particularly lively, but it was quite harmonious.
Li Jun's cooking skills are really good. He Jingwen kept nodding as he ate, and even Huo Qingfeng joked, "Besides my wife's cooking, this is the best food I've ever eaten."
"My cooking is nowhere near as good as Li Jun's!" Ling Ruoke wasn't lying. With Li Jun's culinary skills, he could probably be a chef even if he didn't do any other job.
Li Jun's face remained flushed. Every time He Jingwen's gaze swept over her, her heart raced, and her eyes darted away. Yet, she couldn't help but steal glances at him, but He Jingwen was quick to catch her gaze. Eventually, her face was practically buried in the bowl.
He Jingwen was amused by her behavior, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He had never seen such a shy girl before, like a mimosa, hiding herself at the slightest touch. However, this improved his impression of her. Right now, he just wanted to find someone to settle down with and live a stable life; he no longer had the energy to think about things like "love."
After the meal, Li Jun insisted on clearing away the dishes.
Ling Ruoke sighed inwardly. This girl was just too diligent. It was the same at the company; she would always help others in any way she could, making things convenient for others but exhausting herself in the process.
Huo Qingfeng then assigned He Jingwen to be her assistant. "I'm going for a walk with your sister-in-law. You can go and help her out." With that, he kicked He Jingwen inside.
Ling Ruoke watched He Jingwen enter the kitchen, then let her husband put his arm around her and they went out for a walk. "Honey, I think there's definitely something going on between those two."
"That's right. With my wife on the case, there's nothing she can't handle." Huo Qingfeng raised his chin, quite pleased with himself.
His childish behavior amused Ling Ruoke. She raised her hand and touched his chin, enjoying the familiar prickly sensation. He always wanted to make her happy, so he didn't hesitate to ruin his image. This silly colonel!
In their kitchen, Li Jun was engrossed in her work. Suddenly, a large hand reached out and grabbed her wrist, startling her so much that she screamed and dropped the bowl.
He Jingwen reacted quickly, catching the dish and placing it back in the sink. He noticed that after glancing at him briefly, the girl immediately lowered her head, as if she wanted to bury her face in her chest. Her face was flushed, even her ears turned red.
"Li Jun," He Jingwen called out, addressing her by name.
Li Jun responded softly, but dared not meet his eyes. Her heart was pounding so hard she could hear it herself. She was so nervous she could hardly breathe. She had been on blind dates before, but the men thought she was too dull and were very dissatisfied. She wasn't particularly pretty, and she had no education; each meeting ended without a follow-up.
"I'm sorry." When Li Jun heard him say those three words, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
She knew the next sentence would be: We're not a good match!
