Chapter 1702: Only by Going Higher Can I Protect Them and Our Child

Fu Yan Cheng heard his wife's words, smiled, and nodded: "Alright then, I'll go find Auntie Sun in a moment."

Auntie Wei moved quickly, serving them several bowls of noodles; each bowl contained a poached egg, plus the stir-fried mushroom and meat sauce from yesterday, and a few greens were tossed in while boiling the noodles, making it not only look good but taste delicious.

Fu Yan Cheng invited Song Sanrui and his wife to sit down and eat.

Liu Chuxue saw Gu Xiaomi was extremely nervous, so while smiling she helped ladle meat sauce into her noodle bowl and said, "Auntie Wei's cooking is excellent; try it quickly."

Gu Xiaomi was terribly nervous at this moment; she had eaten meat only a handful of times in her entire life, let alone mixed noodles, and the aroma made her swallow her saliva directly, causing her face to instantly flush red, though due to her skin tone it wasn't very obvious.

Song Sanrui glanced at his wife: "Xiaomi, eat; we will repay the kindness of Regiment Commander Fu and his sister-in-law properly in the future."

At this moment, Auntie Fu brought out two bowls of noodle soup: "I'll let the soup cool for you first; you can drink it right after finishing the noodles."

Fu Yan Cheng had already eaten, so he looked at Song Sanrui and said, "You two just have a bite to tide you over; it will be noon soon, and we'll treat you to a welcome dinner at noon."

Hearing that there would be a welcome dinner, Song Sanrui hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Regiment Commander Fu, no need for such trouble; these meat-sauce noodles are already luxurious enough, and we can't let you spend more."

Fu Yan Cheng patted his shoulder: "Just call me Brother Fu from now on; eat quickly and follow my arrangements."

Song Sanrui wanted to say something more, but finally opened his mouth, lowered his head, and started eating the noodles.

To be honest, such delicious noodles were something he had eaten for the first time; this cooking skill was even better than that of the master chefs at the state-run restaurant.

Meanwhile, Gu Xiaomi, eating her noodles, had red eyes; had she not exerted extreme control, tears would have fallen; this was the best meal she had eaten since she could remember.

Seeing them eating, Fu Yan Cheng finally looked at his own Liu Chuxue: "Wife, do you have other arrangements later?"

Liu Chuxue smiled and nodded: "I need to go to the First Machinery Department later; Deputy Minister Zhao sent some materials a few days ago via a messenger, they need them urgently, I stayed up late these past few days translating them, and I plan to deliver them later."

Fu Yan Cheng felt a bit heartbroken upon hearing this: "They really are something; you are already attending school and taking care of the child, yet they assign you such heavy work; truly..."

Liu Chuxue saw him frowning, smiled, reached out to touch his brow, and said, "Don't frown; it doesn't look good; this isn't a regular occurrence; this time the situation was special, and besides, the translation fee they offered is high enough."

She then joked: "Who told your wife I'm greedy? So I took the job."

Fu Yan Cheng felt a wave of regret in his heart: "Wife, don't make yourself so tired in the future; in the future I'll take on more..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Chuxue slapped him: "If you dare do that, just watch me turn against you; don't believe me? Try it."

"Can my hard work be compared to you taking on missions?"

"Did you forget everything I told you before?"

Fu Yan Cheng's nose tingled with sourness: "I didn't forget; I just feel that..."

Liu Chuxue pulled him into the room and leaned directly into his embrace: "Fu Yan Cheng, our roles differ; I really like the translation work and don't find it tiring; I can learn a lot of knowledge from it, so it's not boring at all."

"Our family doesn't lack money; I hope you stay safe and sound; do you understand what I mean?"

Hearing this, Fu Yan Cheng's heart melted completely, yet it further strengthened his determination to climb higher; his wife was simply too outstanding; only by going higher could he protect her and their child.
