âLetâs eat.â The moment the food was ready, Meng Yunhan called them to eat.
The dishes on the table were ordinary, but Meng Yunhan had prepared them meticulously.
Yun Hao had missed these familiar dishes enormously.
Ever since he tasted his wifeâs cooking, he hadnât paid much attention to the canteen food.
âGirl, your cooking skills are pretty good,â Elder Zhao commented with satisfaction.
âWell, Uncle, please eat more.â Meng Yunhan spoke out, then realized her words were presumptuous. Feeling awkward, she didnât know what more to say.
âMy dear, try to visit me more often when youâre free,â Elder Zhao expressed fondness for her, regarding her like his own daughter, wishing she would visit more often.
âSure.â Unintentionally, she had learned from Elder Zhao that his son had died in a war, and not long after, his wife passed away from the grief of losing their son, leaving him to work in a waste collection station.
After the meal, Yun Hao accompanied Meng Yunhan to the kitchen, with Yun Hao washing dishes and Meng Yunhan sitting by.
This kind of man might not be warm-hearted, but he wasnât far from a faithful dog.
Being a soldier, Yun Hao couldnât miss the fact that his wife was constantly watching him with a dreamy gaze.
In fact, he rather enjoyed his wife watching him like that.
So his dishwashing speed notably slowed. But no matter how slow, the task of washing dishes had to end.
Finally finishing, he bent down to give Meng Yunhan a kiss, leaving her stunned.
âLetâs go!â Seeing his wife looking so adorable, he said playfully.
Meng Yunhan coughed lightly and glared at Yun Hao, true to the saying that charm was deceiving.
The saying, âa man at work is the most attractiveâ, undoubtedly applied to a man doing housework too. What had she missed in her former life?
Upon thinking, Meng Yunhan felt some regret. She regretted not understanding him more, not liking him, not falling in love with him in her previous life.
This became the biggest regret of her life.
âWeâre at Uncleâs house?â How could you kiss me?
Are you flirting with me?
âLetâs go. After a little chat with Elder Zhao, we should head home.â Yun Hao naturally took Meng Yunhanâs hand and walked outside.
âAlright.â
Meng Yunhan wisely refrained from asking why Elder Zhao was home alone on the first day of Lunar New Year.
Looking at the large courtyard, how come only Elder Zhao lived there?
The couple chatted with Elder Zhao a little more. However, seeing it was getting late, Elder Zhao suggested they should go home, considering that Meng Yunhan was pregnant.
âHanhan, are you cold?â Yun Hao felt the chill in the wind. Though his wife was wearing a hat, it was still a bit cold.
âI am not, Ahao, how many days can you stay this time?â She suddenly remembered to ask. She had forgotten yesterday, and honestly, she hadnât thought of that question before.
Yun Hao held his wife in his arms and whispered, âTill the third day.â
Meng Yunhan gasped. The third day? That meant they only had two days together.
Her nose suddenly stung. She didnât want him to leave and felt an impulsive desire to join him in the army. But if she did join him, what would happen when she had to give birth? If he happened to be on duty then, who would take care of her during her confinement period?
He hadnât told her yet that once he returned to his unit, it was very likely he would be sent to the border to fight.
Out of fear for her worries.
