Chapter 1823: My Father Was Beaten Up

Fu Yan Cheng smiled as he watched the person running toward him: "I came to the city today to handle some business. Knowing you have your final exams starting tomorrow, I applied for leave. I'll take care of the children these few days and also pick you up and drop you off, striving not to affect your exams."

Hearing this, Chuxue's eyes and brows both curved with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect our Regiment Commander Fu to be so considerate."

Fu Yan Cheng reached out and took the things from Chuxue's hands: "My wife is so outstanding, and I'm in the army year-round. If I don't pay more attention, what if my wife leaves me?"

Though said as a joke, these were also his true thoughts. Smiling, he opened the car door for Chuxue: "How is it? Is your husband satisfied?"

Chuxue smiled at him: "Not bad. Keep working hard."

The moment Fu Yan Cheng closed the door, he said: "Got it."

After Fu Yan Cheng went around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat, he said: "There are candied haws I bought in the back seat. Do you want to eat a skewer first?"

Chuxue didn't stand on ceremony either; she turned to look at the back seat: "Why did you buy so many?"

Fu Yan Cheng started the car while saying: "They only had these left, so I took them all."

Chuxue thought of the previous question: "How did you know I was here?"

Fu Yan Cheng turned the car around a corner: "I went home and heard it from Auntie Wei, so I came over."

After speaking, he told Chuxue some news about the military dependents' compound: "Auntie Tao and Kaiyuan's wife kept asking me when you would take the children back."

Hearing the question, Chuxue tilted her head and looked directly at Fu Yan Cheng: "Is this what you wanted to ask, or what they wanted to ask?"

Fu Yan Cheng's ear tips turned slightly red: "They did ask, but I also wanted to know."

Seeing his state, Chuxue burst out laughing: "If you want to ask, just ask. You even used Auntie Tao and Ruhua as your excuse. You really are..."

Fu Yan Cheng also laughed: "These past few days, whenever I had nothing to do, I cleaned the house, just waiting for you all to return."

To be honest, Chuxue also missed the sisters-in-law in the dependents' compound. Leaning back against the rear seat, she said: "It seems we won't be able to return that early this year."

Fu Yan Cheng grew anxious: "Why?"

Chuxue patted his arm: "Xiaomi's due date is right after the New Year. I must arrange everything for her delivery before I can return to the dependents' compound with peace of mind."

Fu Yan Cheng slapped his own forehead: "I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot about this matter."

The two chatted as they arrived home. However, just before reaching home, they happened to meet their cousin Qiu Yiming on the road. Chuxue quickly called out: "Stop, stop."

Fu Yan Cheng obviously saw the person too and brought the car to a steady stop. Chuxue opened the car window: "Yiming, why are you here?"

Seeing it was Chuxue, Qiu Yiming's eyes turned red: "Second Cousin, I just came to find you."

Chuxue saw his expression was wrong: "What happened?"

Hearing this, Qiu Yiming said: "Second Cousin, my father was beaten up."

Upon hearing this, Chuxue's face instantly grew cold: "What happened?"

Qiu Yiming choked up a bit: "There is a promotion slot at the unit. My father and another person were both qualified. That person wanted to frame my father for this slot before, but my father discovered and avoided it in time. But unexpectedly, that person played a trap. My father was surrounded and beaten, and the matter even escalated to the Gongan Bureau."

Hearing this, Chuxue didn't even bother going home: "Get in the car. We'll go there right now."

Qiu Yiming was actually quite sensible: "Second Cousin, you are about to reach home. Why don't you go home first and tell Grandma Wei and the younger cousins so they won't worry?"
