Chapter 1291: Mom, Why Are You Hitting Me?

Fortunately, they accidentally discovered that the military and public security forces had coordinated an operation, capturing those enemy agents in one stroke, including the man who had sought revenge on Xiao Fu, which could be considered a lucky break.

Although he could not reveal the specific details, he still told Liu Chuxue, "The matter on Dad's side has been handled; that man has been brought to justice."

Hearing him say this, Liu Chuxue was curious, but seeing that he would not elaborate further, she knew it was not simple and not something she could ask about, "I see."

Thinking of the matter of returning to the city tomorrow, she said, "By the way, I need to go back to the city tomorrow afternoon. You can't easily take leave tomorrow, right?"

Fu Yan Cheng took a plain steamed bun, "I'll go over there in the morning to wrap things up, then take leave in the afternoon to return to the city with you. I've already spoken to Division Commander Guan about it."

Liu Chuxue frowned slightly, "Won't that affect your work? Actually, it's fine if I go back alone."

Fu Yan Cheng shook his head, "I promised Dad; going back on one's word is not acceptable. Besides, I told the Division Commander before the mission."

Hearing him say this, Liu Chuxue felt sweet in her heart, yet her eyes stung terribly, "Hurry up and eat, then go rest immediately."

Even though he concealed it well, Liu Chuxue could still see his exhaustion.

Fu Yan Cheng knew he couldn't hide it from his wife, and indeed, he hadn't slept much these past few days, "Alright, I'll listen to my wife."

After everything was tidied up and the couple lay in bed, Fu Yan Cheng pulled her into his arms, restraining his desire, kissed Liu Chuxue on the forehead, reached out to touch her belly, felt the change in her abdomen, and a indescribable excitement rose within him.

One hadn't slept for days, the other was pregnant and prone to sleepiness; chatting together, they both fell asleep within moments.

When Liu Chuxue woke up the next day, the sun was already high; feeling discomfort in her ears, she reached out to touch and discovered Fu Yan Cheng had stuffed cotton balls into both ears, causing her to smile.

Thinking of returning to the city today, she didn't linger in bed any longer.

Seeing the note Fu Yan Cheng left on the table: Breakfast is in the pot; I'll cook lunch when I return.

Her heart warmed involuntarily.

The Xiao Family Home

Early in the morning, Xiao Mu instructed her husband, "Go to your unit to find Big Brother, tell him about dinner at our place tonight, have him call to notify the others, and don't forget to notify Liu Chuxue and her husband."

Xiao Fu's mind didn't turn quickly at first, "Should we notify the eldest son-in-law too?"

Xiao Mu rolled her eyes at him, "It's so far; why make him run all the way for travel expenses? Anyway, we're returning to the village tomorrow, so just invite him then."

Thinking of something, she added, "Or see if Big Brother can find a way to notify him, so he isn't unprepared and delays things."

Xiao Fu nodded, "Alright, I understand."

At this moment, Chunxiao came out of the room, "Mom, Dad, can we ask Second Brother-in-law to borrow a friend's car again for the trip back to the village tomorrow?"

Xiao Mu slapped her on the back with her hand, "Listen to what you're saying; we shouldn't owe favors without repaying them. We'll take the early morning bus tomorrow and arrive at the commune early; why make it so troublesome?"

Chunxiao was stung by the slap, "I'm just thinking of you, Mom; why did you hit me?"

Xiao Mu pointed her finger at Chunxiao's forehead, "Don't use me as an excuse; I want to return to the village to show off, but I don't want to cause trouble for Second Brother-in-law."

Chunxiao wore an expression of disbelief.

This made Xiao Mu laugh in anger, "What is that expression on your face?"

Chunxiao muttered quietly, "A few days ago you said little brother couldn't withstand the wind, yet today you're afraid of causing trouble for Second Brother-in-law?"
