Chapter 1474: What, Moved by Your Man?

After the meal, the relationship had grown considerably closer.

The two men held a high regard for each other.

Gu Minglei, being quite perceptive, said, "This has already taken up quite a bit of your time; I should be going."

Having finished speaking, he looked at Chuxue: "I'm entrusting you to help with the matter between me and Liangliang; I am deeply grateful."

Chuxue, however, was very clear-headed: "It's still the same saying: I can advise, but ultimately everything depends on Liangliang's own wishes."

Gu Minglei pressed his palms together: "Understood, understood."

Fu Yan Cheng, holding Chuxue's hand, escorted her outside the family compound: "Alright, we'll only see you this far; it's getting dark, so drive carefully."

Gu Minglei, feeling somewhat embarrassed, said, "Go back quickly; it was trouble for you to walk me out."

But then he heard Fu Yan Cheng say, "Don't misunderstand; I'm just accompanying my wife out for a post-meal stroll. Seeing you off was just incidental."

Seeing Gu Minglei's expression instantly become awkward, Chuxue tugged Fu Yan Cheng: "Couldn't you speak more tactfully? Being so blunt isn't good, is it?"

Hearing this, Gu Minglei thought, 'Great, thanks a lot to you both,' and said, "Alright then, you two continue your stroll; I'll be on my way now."

Fortunately, he didn't know what 'showing off affection' meant; otherwise, he would have felt extremely heartbroken right then.

Watching the car start, the horn sounded once, and the vehicle sped off.

Fu Yan Cheng, supporting Chuxue as they turned, asked, "What are Guo Yueliang's thoughts on this?"

Chuxue replied while walking back, "Even if one guesses it was her stepmother's scheme, seeing it with one's own eyes still causes discomfort; although it was merely a misalignment, the heart still feels uneasy, especially since she thought it was a real kiss."

Fu Yan Cheng changed his support into an embrace: "Wife, this has also taught me a lesson; in the future, I will absolutely not create trouble for myself, nor will I cause you any distress."

Hearing him say this, Chuxue became interested and directly shared many plots she had seen in later eras, even including clever methods for rescuing people to avoid being falsely accused; Fu Yan Cheng listened and exclaimed that he had learned a lot.

Moreover, he planned to organize these points and, at the next regimental meeting, explain them to the subordinates to ensure preparedness against all eventualities.

The more he thought about it, the more necessary it seemed; after all, there were cases where people who rescued others were falsely accused, and to avoid work being affected, they held their breath and reluctantly admitted guilt, or were schemed against and could not explain themselves clearly.

He felt it was very necessary to educate everyone: when rescuing people, try to pay attention to methods and techniques so as not to get oneself entangled.

The two chatted all the way home.

Fu Yan Cheng closed the main gate: "Wife, I'm off tomorrow; I'll go prepare wooden boxes for you. The weather is getting colder day by day; the longer we wait, the harder it will be to dig the earth."

Chuxue nodded: "Alright; if it's convenient, please also make a few shelves for me. When the time comes, we can place the wooden boxes on them to save space."

Fu Yan Cheng smiled and agreed: "Alright, I'll rush to finish them. You direct me, and we'll strive to have fresh green vegetables ready for you by the time you are in confinement."

Upon hearing this, Chuxue's heart felt as if brushed by a feather. She thought he was spoiling her and willing to indulge her whims, but she never expected him to think this way; in short, everything was for her sake.

Fu Yan Cheng saw her staring blankly: "What, moved by your man?"

Chuxue coquettishly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, moved by you. I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful and to think so far ahead."

Fu Yan Cheng reached out, pulled her into his embrace, and planted a kiss on the top of her head: "You are the person I hold dearest in my heart; naturally, I want to give you the very best. You have worked hard to carry our child for ten months and give birth, so naturally, I must think more about how to make your life more comfortable and happier."
