My brows furrowed slightly. It had been half a month since I last saw my wife, and she seemed to have lost weight again.
Did she not eat properly?
Even though he really wanted to talk to his wife, he had to hold back because his parents, older brother, and sister-in-law were around.
"Han Ting, how are you feeling?"
Chen Shufang was relieved to see that her son was speaking with a strong voice.
Li Hanting glanced around, taking in the worried looks in his family's eyes. He parted his thin lips slightly and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry to have worried you." His voice was deep and magnetic.
Chen Shufang smiled for the first time in two days, saying, "As long as you're safe and sound, that's all that matters."
"Alright, let Jingjing stay and take care of you. The rest of us will head back now."
The son's eyes were practically glued to Jingjing, making them, like a few bright light bulbs, seem especially glaring.
An'an and Yuanyuan weren't suitable to stay in the hospital for too long, so we decided to take them both home.
Li Yuehuan didn't want to leave at first, but in the end, her mother dragged her away.
"Mom, I want to stay and take care of my brother."
Chen Shufang pressed her index finger against her daughter's forehead and laughed, "Do you know how to take care of people?"
"Your second brother only wants to talk to your second sister-in-law right now, so it's best if we avoid each other."
Fortunately, she had prepared Hanting's meal in the morning.
No sooner had the Li family left than Gu Qingyun and his group arrived.
He said cheerfully, "Han Ting, Uncle Gu knew you'd be alright."
If anything happens to Han Ting, Lao Li will be the first to not let him off the hook.
Li Hanting said in a deep voice, "Uncle Gu, I'm sorry to have made you worry."
"What are you saying? It's good that you're alright. You haven't had a vacation in a long time, so I'll give you a short break."
Han Ting completed the mission very well and made up for their losses.
Then everyone went up to have a private chat.
Although the regimental commander is usually a bit strict, he values relationships very much.
One person in the crowd lowered his head, listening to his comrades' words, feeling even more guilty.
Liang Haishan silently stepped forward and said, "Commander, I'm sorry, it was all because of my negligence that you were shot."
If he hadn't been so arrogant, the enemy wouldn't have had a chance to take advantage of him.
The ward fell silent instantly.
Li Hanting looked firmly at Liang Haishan and said slowly, "I am your superior, and I must be responsible for your safety."
“I’m fine now, so you don’t need to blame yourself too much.”
Liang Haishan felt even worse.
Gu Qingyun broke the silence, "Alright, let's go back first, and not bother you any longer."
Everyone immediately understood what the leader meant.
Soon, the ward became quiet again.
Li Hanting finally had a chance to talk to his wife.
"Honey, come here and let me hug you."
Su Jingjing took the initiative to throw herself into the man's arms, carefully feeling his warmth.
Li Hanting pulled her closer to him, his forehead pressed against her body, his voice tinged with laziness.
"Wife, I've been thinking about you every single moment during these past two weeks away."
Su Jingjing tried to avoid the wound on the man's shoulder and loosely wrapped her arms around his waist.
With a smile on her face, she said softly, "I know, Xiao Liu told me."
Li Hanting raised an eyebrow and said helplessly, "That big mouth of Liu Yang."
Su Jingjing slowly pushed away the man's embrace and looked at him affectionately, "A-Ting, I missed you so much too."
She paused, then continued, "You know what? The moment I heard you'd been shot, my heart felt empty."
Her eyes welled up with tears, she sniffed, and swallowed them back.
Li Hanting narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up and stroked her reddened eyes, his gentle voice low and deep, "Wife, I'm sorry, I broke my promise."
The man's gaze was intense and honest, as clear as a lake.
Su Jingjing quickly shook her head, "I know this is your responsibility, I don't blame you."
"You just need to think more about me and the children in the future, and make sure nothing happens to you."
She doesn't know if she could handle it if it happened again.
To make Ah Ting take it to heart, Su Jingjing bit her lip and said resolutely, "If you dare to abandon me and the children, I will definitely remarry with your children."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man, who had just been all lovey-dovey, suddenly turned pale, veins bulging on his temples, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, like a cheetah ready to pounce at any moment.
Li Hanting gritted his teeth, "You dare!"
Damn it, the mere thought of his wife belonging to someone else ignites a raging fire in his chest.
He must cherish his life and not give his wife the opportunity to remarry.
His delicate young wife was so close, he couldn't bear to hit her or scold her, so he had to find an outlet for his anger by haphazardly tugging at the buttons on his chest.
The man's movements were too exaggerated, making Su Jingjing a little nervous.
"Ah Ting, don't move around, be careful of the wound on your shoulder."
Looking at his wife's delicate lips, Li Hanting's eyes surged with emotions. Finally, unable to resist the desire in his heart, he pressed one hand against the back of her head and kissed her fiercely.
Whether it was angered by her words or the longing he had felt over the past two weeks, the kiss was anything but gentle; on the contrary, it felt more like a plunder.
Su Jingjing helplessly raised her fist and pressed it against A Ting's chest. His heart was beating very fast, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
Gradually, she felt short of breath, and her breathing became increasingly hot.
But she couldn't bear to break free; she had longed for this kiss in her dreams for so long.
Just as she was about to faint, Ah Ting slowly released her.
"Wife, take a deep breath."
The man's deep voice woke her up, and Su Jingjing quickly opened her mouth to breathe. She could feel a burning pain on her lips.
It's definitely swollen again.
After the kiss, Li Hanting's anger seemed to have subsided somewhat.
Looking at his wife's rosy lips, his eyes were firm; everything about his wife belonged to him alone.
The silence lasted for a moment, then Li Hanting gently stroked his wife's delicate neck and slightly raised her chin, "Wife, you can only be mine, you can't remarry!"
The two were only a millimeter apart when Ah Ting's scorching breath hit Su Jingjing, causing her to be momentarily dazed.
But he still stubbornly insisted, "Hmph...then you can't let anything happen to yourself."
Li Hanting tapped his back teeth. "Okay, I'll definitely live a good life."
His wife ran away, what use was his military merit?
Hearing the man's assurance, Su Jingjing's heart gradually calmed down, and she nestled against his neck like a little bird.
He whispered, "Ah Ting, I will not remarry. My heart can only hold you."
"Wife, I know."
Li Hanting understood his wife's little scheme.
The two gazed deeply into each other's eyes and couldn't help but kiss again, reluctant to part, unable to tell who had initiated the kiss.
This time, however, the kiss was much gentler, as if he was truly appreciating the other's presence and making up for the longing he had felt over the past two weeks.
