Chapter 197 Her Lifetime of Fame
Back at the guesthouse, Li Wanqing coaxed Nuonuo to sleep before the couple began to talk.
"Tell me first, is Professor Zhao Shuyu, an old friend of your uncle's?" Cheng Baichuan asked.
Li Wanqing nodded. "So you know Uncle Zhao too?"
Cheng Baichuan did not deny it, saying, "Professor Zhao is a professor at the Military Academy of Sciences, and he once gave us lectures at the military camp."
"He has a wealth of theoretical knowledge, so I often consult him."
"We got to know each other after a while."
"Just familiar with each other?" Li Wanqing felt that Qu Zhe's expression was strange.
If they were just acquaintances, they shouldn't have that hesitant, unspoken expression.
Cheng Baichuan held Li Wanqing's hand and chuckled, "There's one more thing. I'll tell you, but please don't be angry."
Li Wanqing's brow furrowed, and she withdrew her hand, saying, "Tell me first."
Cheng Baichuan's hand froze, and then he recounted Zhao Qingyao's story.
He had nothing to hide about the matter, but he wasn't sure what his wife thought.
Li Wanqing was surprised for a long time, then looked Cheng Baichuan up and down.
Because of the intense training for the competition, this guy's skin, which he had finally managed to keep fair, has darkened again.
And yet, she still manages to attract romantic attention...
Li Wanqing said that Zhao Qingyao's aesthetic sense is indeed a bit different from that of ordinary people.
"Honey, Professor Zhao already knows I'm married, so this is just a joke."
"Professor Zhao has never mentioned it again."
Li Wanqing looked up at him and asked, "Uncle Zhao gave up, but did Zhao Qingyao not give up?"
Cheng Baichuan touched his buzz cut. "How did your wife find out?"
“I refused, really, very decisively and firmly.”
Li Wanqing snorted coldly, "If she hadn't been bothering you, Qu Zhe wouldn't have had that expression on his face."
She hadn't met Zhao Qingyao yet, and originally thought that Uncle Zhao was a reasonable person, and his daughter should be quite nice too.
I never expected her to cling to a man and refuse to let go.
"Honey, don't be angry anymore." Cheng Baichuan held Li Wanqing's hand and smiled ingratiatingly.
Li Wanqing glanced at him and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"How old are you? Still the same age as Nono."
"Shameless behavior, aren't you afraid your soldiers will laugh at you?"
"They wouldn't dare!" Cheng Baichuan didn't care about the reaction of those brats. His wife wasn't angry; saving his life was more important.
Cheng Baichuan shouted a bit too loudly, and Nuonuo's brow furrowed. She shifted her body, and it looked like she was about to cry.
Li Wanqing raised her hand and gently patted her forehead, and the brow gradually relaxed before she fell asleep again.
"Keep your voice down." Li Wanqing glared at Cheng Baichuan reproachfully.
Cheng Baichuan chuckled and dared not speak loudly anymore.
Li Wanqing yawned slightly. She was a little tired after running around all day.
Just as I was thinking about whether I should take a nap next to my daughter, I felt a light, gentle pressure on my shoulder that instantly made me relax.
"If you're tired, lean on me and rest for a bit," Cheng Baichuan whispered in Li Wanqing's ear.
The warm breath brushed against my earlobe, sending a tingling sensation through me.
Li Wanqing moved slightly, then leaned against Cheng Baichuan.
With Cheng Baichuan away for the past few months, she's been playing both mother and father, and it's been a long time since she's felt this relaxed.
"When are we planning to go home?" Li Wanqing asked, missing her family's little courtyard.
The grapes in the yard are probably ripe soon; they should be ready to be enjoyed when we get back.
While massaging Li Wanqing, Cheng Baichuan said, "After the results come out the day after tomorrow, I should have a month-long vacation, and then we'll go back."
Li Wanqing sat up abruptly. "Is there really a month-long vacation?"
Li Wanqing was overjoyed.
She hadn't thought much of it since she saw him every day before, but after almost half a year apart, she realized that Cheng Baichuan's importance in her heart had far exceeded what she had originally imagined.
Cheng Baichuan was slightly taken aback, then cupped Li Wanqing's face and kissed her.
Li Wanqing blinked, turned her head to look at Nuonuo, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Nuonuo was sleeping soundly.
"What are you doing?" Li Wanqing gently punched Cheng Baichuan's chest. "The baby's still here."
Having not seen each other for more than half a year, not to mention Cheng Baichuan, she was also a little overwhelmed with emotion.
Cheng Baichuan grabbed Li Wanqing's hand and gently placed it to his lips.
"Honey, I've wanted to do this for a long time."
Li Wanqing's face turned bright red, and she raised her hand to cover his mouth, "Don't speak."
This man, the child is still here, what nonsense are you talking about?
Cheng Baichuan pulled Li Wanqing's hand down, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly.
"Honey, I know, I just wanted to hug you."
Seeing that his wife had other people around these past two days, he could only restrain himself, no matter how crazy his thoughts were.
Li Wanqing leaned against Cheng Baichuan's chest, quietly enjoying this moment of tenderness.
The large, warm, and firm embrace gradually relaxed her.
It took Cheng Baichuan a while to calm down the surging excitement in his heart.
Looking down again...
His wife was already asleep in his arms, a slight smile on her lips.
Cheng Baichuan smiled helplessly, then looked up and met his daughter's big, round eyes.
"Dad~~~"
[Daddy hugs Mommy, hehe, so happy!]
Even Cheng Baichuan, who was usually very composed, blushed a little when his daughter saw him.
He whispered a "shh" to his daughter and explained, "Mommy is tired. Let's let Mommy rest, okay?"
Nono nodded obediently and even moved further into the bed.
"This~~~" Nono patted the spot where she had just been lying; she was already warm and cozy from sleeping.
Cheng Baichuan gently placed Li Wanqing on the bed.
Just as I was about to call my daughter out so as not to disturb my wife's sleep...
Nuonuo scurried under the covers and fell asleep again, nestled against Li Wanqing.
Cheng Baichuan: ...Actually, he really wanted to lie down on it too.
However, after glancing at the bed in the guesthouse, he decided against it.
It's fine for the mother and daughter to sleep together, but if he's added to the mix, it's likely to collapse.
Li Wanqing didn't know what time she slept, and she woke up because her nose was itchy.
The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Nuonuo grinning at her, "Mommy~~"
When Li Wanqing saw the chicken feathers on her hand, which she didn't know where they came from, she immediately understood why her nose was itchy.
Li Wanqing reached out and tickled Nuonuo's armpit, and the room was immediately filled with the child's giggles.
"You're awake!" Cheng Baichuan walked in carrying a kettle of hot water. Seeing the mother and daughter playing happily, he couldn't help but feel happy too.
Li Wanqing glanced at him, thinking about what happened at noon, and her face involuntarily turned red.
When did I fall asleep?
Before Cheng Baichuan could speak, Nuonuo interjected, "When Daddy was holding Mommy."
Li Wanqing: ......
Her lifelong reputation is truly admirable!
