Li Hanting stayed at the military hospital all day because one of his men was injured during a mission and spent the whole day in the hospital receiving emergency treatment until he was out of danger, at which point he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Liu Yang, tell them not to talk about it."
I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm just afraid of this matter being talked about by everyone.
"You all stay here and keep watch. Let me know immediately if anything happens."
Although the person is safe, it's impossible for them to wake up so early.
"Yes, Commander."
Liu Yang saluted solemnly, then whispered in the regimental commander's ear, "Are you in a hurry to get home to see your wife?"
Li Hanting paused in adjusting his sleeves, his expression turning subtle. "You little brat, do you want to become a detective?"
Liu Yang vehemently denied it, saying, "No, no, no, Commander, I just want to stay by your side."
As she spoke, she made a shushing gesture, saying, "I will never talk too much again."
Li Hanting's tone shifted dramatically, "However, you're right, I do miss my wife."
After saying that, he strode forward.
I left in a hurry this morning and didn't even go home for lunch. I wonder if my wife misses me.
Liu Yang, standing behind him, scratched his head. Was this still the same decisive and efficient regimental commander?
As soon as Li Hanting turned the corner, Li Aiqin blocked his way.
His brows furrowed involuntarily, and he remained silent.
Li Aiqin glanced at Han Ting secretly, then lowered her head shyly and rubbed her fingers.
"Brother Hanting, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? This is the dinner I bought for you."
She then handed it directly to the man.
Such an outstanding man must belong to Li Aiqin. What right does that fat woman Su Jingjing have to have Brother Hanting?
Li Hanting subconsciously took two steps back, his icy aura was palpable, and his gentleness was reserved only for his wife.
"No need, my wife is still waiting for me at home for dinner."
If it weren't for the Li family's sake, he wouldn't have paid any attention to Li Aiqin at all. Right now, all he wants to do is go home and eat the food his wife cooks.
Li Aiqin's face showed a hurt expression. Brother Hanting actually ate the food made by Su Jingjing. Wasn't their relationship always bad?
What about her boxed lunch?
He awkwardly withdrew his hand, then forced a smile and said, "Brother Hanting, don't you dislike Su Jingjing?"
Li Hanting disliked people prying into his affairs, and replied coldly, "She is my wife."
With her constantly calling her "wife," Li Aiqin almost couldn't keep her balance.
Watching the man's departing figure, Li Aiqin leaned against the corner of the wall, feeling dejected.
Han Ting actually fell in love with Su Jingjing?
What's so good about that fat, dead woman?
With no education and no family background, what makes her worthy of Han Ting's affection?
No, she had to go to the Li family to sound them out.
Auntie definitely won't like Su Jingjing.
"Dr. Li, what's wrong?"
At that moment, a nurse came over and asked with concern.
Li Ai covered her face with her hand and quickly replied, "I...I'm fine."
The nurse said "Oh" and walked away. Just now, Dr. Li's face was extremely distorted, like a demon from hell.
She shook her head the next second. She must have seen wrong. Dr. Li was always very popular, so why would she make such an expression?
Li Hanting drove his car back to the family compound. By then it was already dark, and there wasn't a soul in sight downstairs.
Su Jingjing prepared dinner, and the two little ones had almost finished their homework. Actually, An'an had been helping her younger sister with her homework the whole time.
"Mom, isn't Dad coming home for dinner again tonight?"
The little one, who was obediently washing his hands, looked up and asked his mother.
Dad is so busy with work!
Li Cheng'an couldn't stay calm any longer. He looked up at his mother. After all, he was just a child and was curious whether his father would come home for dinner.
Looking at the expectant eyes of her two children, Su Jingjing couldn't lie and answered truthfully, "Mom doesn't know either, she's probably busy."
"Let's wait a little longer. If Dad doesn't come back soon, we'll eat first."
She guessed that Li Hanting was probably not in the military region, and that he must be on some military mission.
Just then, there was a noise at the door, and the three of them twitched their ears.
The little one was the first to realize what was happening, and skipped and hopped out, exclaiming, "It must be Daddy coming back!"
The next second, the little one's voice was even more joyful, "Daddy, you're finally back! Yuanyuan missed you so much."
Li Hanting picked up his daughter and looked around for his wife. "Daddy misses you too. Where's Mommy?"
The silly little guy hadn't realized he was an obstacle between his parents, and pointed towards the bathroom, saying, "Mommy's in there."
Su Jingjing composed herself and walked out, looking up to see that the man was still handsome.
"You're back?"
"Um."
Li Hanting couldn't read his wife's emotions, so he frowned. Why didn't his wife ask about his whereabouts today?
Does it mean you don't care about him?
"Then let's wash our hands and eat."
Actually, Su Jingjing really wanted to ask the man why he didn't come home for lunch, but she felt that asking directly would be too deliberate.
At the dinner table, An'an ate his food obediently, while Yuanyuan, having not seen her father all day, inevitably became closer to him, wanting to eat this and that.
Li Hanting was also willing to spoil his only daughter and doted on all her requests.
With her father feeding her, Li Yuanyuan was finally happy.
"Dad, why didn't you come home for lunch?"
Upon hearing this, Su Jingjing paused for a moment.
Of course, Li Hanting didn't miss this little gesture; it seems his wife still cares about him.
"I'm sorry, Dad has been at the hospital all day."
Although he was replying to the little guy, his eyes were fixed on his wife.
Su Jingjing was taken aback and immediately looked up. "Are you injured?"
Li Hanting placed his hand, which was resting on his lap, on his wife's hand, as if to comfort her. "No, one of my comrades was injured on a mission. I didn't come back until he was safe and sound."
"Honey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to not come home for lunch."
Su Jingjing realized that she had been a little too nervous just now, and quickly withdrew her hand.
"fine."
Noticing that his wife was shy, Li Hanting dared not tease her anymore.
After dinner, Li Hanting started to tidy his clothes, looking like he was about to go out.
"Honey, lock the door tonight. I need to go to the hospital again and I might be back very late. Don't wait for me."
"good."
Su Jingjing blushed, as if she were looking forward to hearing those words.
After the man left, she spent some time reading storybooks with the two children before going back to her room to sleep.
It's only nine o'clock now, and she seems to have gotten used to going to bed at this time.
She glanced at the man's position, wondering if he would come back to sleep that night.
As she pondered, Su Jingjing gradually drifted off to sleep, unaware that the man had returned in the middle of the night.
But her body betrayed her; in the middle of the night, seeking the coolness, she snuggled into the man's arms.
In the darkness, Li Hanting smiled and, taking advantage of the night, kissed his wife's forehead with utmost tenderness. The next second, he held his wife and they drifted off to sleep.
