Knowing that He Tingchuan was coming back, Yun Jin couldn't wait to go to the airport to greet him.
Mother He couldn't sit still either, so she went to the airport with Yun Jin and her daughter.
Mr. He complained, "You people just love to meddle. He said it was nothing, but you still had to make the trip. Aren't you tired?"
Watching the car drive away swiftly, Mr. He muttered, "They didn't even ask if I wanted to come along. They have no respect for people at all."
When they arrived at the airport, the plane from Shanghai hadn't landed yet. Yun Jin and the others waited at the burger shop. They hadn't eaten what they bought earlier, but now they had an appetite. While waiting for He Tingchuan's plane to land, they ate fries and burgers.
Yun Jin glanced at the time; the plane had landed, and the three of them—grandmother, grandmother, and granddaughter—immediately went to the exit to wait.
After waiting for about ten minutes, He Tingchuan appeared before us. It felt like a long time had passed since we last saw each other, even though it had only been a few hours.
When Little Rice Cake saw her father, she rushed over eagerly. She wanted to throw herself into his arms, but remembering that her father had injured his abdomen, she stopped in time and looked up at him with concern, asking, "Daddy, does it hurt?"
He Tingchuan shook his head and hugged his beloved daughter, saying, "Daddy's fine, don't worry, I'm perfectly alright!"
Little Rice Cake was relieved: "My mom, grandpa, grandma, and I were all terrified. Dad, have all the bad guys been caught?"
He Tingchuan nodded: "Yes, they were all caught, not one was spared."
"Great! I knew Daddy was the best!" Little Rice Cake said proudly.
He Tingchuan was proud.
Bringing his daughter to Yun Jin, He Tingchuan met his wife's concerned gaze and reassured her, "I'm sorry to have worried you."
"It's good that he's alright!" Looking at He Tingchuan, who was completely unharmed, Yun Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought he was missing an arm or a leg, but now it seemed that she had worried too much.
Seeing that her son's arms and legs were all intact, Mrs. He felt relieved.
On the way back, He Tingchuan recounted the situation on the plane.
Little Rice Cake asked, "Was that little girl terrified?"
"Yes, she was so scared she cried, but luckily her dad saved her. Seeing her was like seeing rice cake. Her dad told himself that he had to save her!" He Tingchuan promised.
Little Rice Cake clung to her father's arm, still shaken: "Dad, don't take any more risks in the future. I only have one dad, and you can't get hurt."
He Tingchuan recalled the scene of shielding the grenade with his body. If it wasn't fake, his beloved daughter would probably be fatherless.
He Tingchuan said with remorse, "I'm sorry, Dad will be more careful in the future."
Yun Jin noticed He Tingchuan's emotional change in the rearview mirror and knew that things were not so simple. With her daughter and mother-in-law in the car, Yun Jin did not press him for answers.
When they got home, after He Tingchuan had calmed his family down, Yun Jin told him to go upstairs to rest, but she actually closed the door, crossed her arms, and exuded an aura of dominance, looking like she was about to force him to resign, which made He Tingchuan swallow hard.
"Honey... what are you doing? I'm injured right now. The leaders know the situation was sudden and have approved me to rest for three more days before going back. Don't be too anxious."
Yun Jin grabbed He Tingchuan's collar fiercely: "What are you thinking? Are you going to confess honestly, or am I going to torture you?"
He Tingchuan: "...Confess...what?"
"Don't play dumb. I'm not as easily fooled as your daughter." Yun Jin's eyes were cold and brooked no deception.
He Tingchuan realized he couldn't get away with it, so he had no choice but to confess honestly.
Upon hearing this, Yun Jin was so angry that she punched and kicked He Tingchuan: "Fine, you're so eager to be a hero that you even wrapped your body around a grenade. Do you think you're made of steel?"
"He Tingchuan, have you ever thought about what would happen to me, your daughter, and your parents if you were to sacrifice yourself?"
He Tingchuan endured the beatings and insults without fighting back.
Yun Jin didn't care whether the person was injured or not; she just started hitting them.
When she got tired of hitting him, He Tingchuan admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, wife, I was wrong. The situation was urgent."
"Hmph, it's your own life, do whatever you want with it, I don't care. Anyway, even if you become a hero, I won't protect a man who doesn't cherish his life."
"I, Yun Jin, am young, beautiful, and rich. What kind of man can't I have? From now on, I'll find an obedient and well-behaved little brother. You can just lie there on the ground!"
He Tingchuan watched Yun Jin open the door and leave, completely disregarding his life or death, and felt a mix of emotions.
He reaps what he sows.
Xiao Niangao and He's mother heard the commotion upstairs and were about to come up to find out what was going on when they saw Yun Jin storming in. They immediately pretended to be busy, one wiping the stairs and the other greeting her with a smile: "Mom, can I go see Dad now?"
"Whatever you want," Yun Jin said irritably.
Little Rice Cake shrank back, quietly opened the door a crack, looked at the pitiful-looking man, and asked with schadenfreude, "Daddy, what did you do to make Mommy angry? Do you need me to help you coax her?"
He Tingchuan's eyes lit up.
A minute later, Xiao Niangao rushed downstairs: "Mom, Mom, something bad has happened! Dad's wound has reopened! You have to go see him quickly, he's bleeding a lot! Will Dad be alright?"
Yun Jin: "......"
Despite saying she didn't care whether He Tingchuan was alive or dead, upon hearing that he had lost a lot of blood, she couldn't hold back at all and strode upstairs. There she saw He Tingchuan lift up the hem of his shirt, revealing the wound on his waist and abdomen.
Blown to a bloody mess by firecrackers, and with darkness still surrounding them, Yun Jin frowned: "Will he survive?"
He Tingchuan said pitifully, "I won't die. But if my wife ignores me, I might feel like I have no will to live and be in unbearable pain."
"Get lost, shut up. If you want, I don't mind sending you on your way." Yun Jin found a first-aid kit, carefully wiped away the blood with cotton swabs, and wiped the surrounding area with iodine. Fortunately, the wound was not serious, just a superficial injury.
