"My wife can take care of me here, you can go back." Huo Yanchuan held Wenrou's hand tightly. This was the first time he had called Wenrou his wife.

Wenrou's hand was being held by him, and she couldn't pull it away.

The man's palms were rough to the touch from the calluses on his fingers from holding a gun for many years.

However, his hands were large and could easily envelop her entire hand, with a warm touch that gave her a strange sense of security and comfort.

Huo Tingting didn't want to leave, but Song Yulan eventually pulled her away.

After leaving the ward, Huo Tingting said with a resentful look, "Mom, are we just going to let this go? You just think my brother married that country woman? And even accepted her bastard child?"

She had placed all her hopes on Song Yulan, but she never expected that even Song Yulan would no longer be on her side.

Song Yulan reached out and patted Huo Tingting's head, comforting her, "Tingting, why are you so anxious? Given your brother's current situation, it's understandable that he would do something so impulsive. After Wenrou's baby is born, do you think any man would be willing to face another man's child every day?"

Song Yulan was older and more experienced than Huo Tingting, so she naturally saw things more clearly.

"Besides, your grandfather is the one who makes the decisions in our Huo family. As long as your grandfather doesn't agree, that country woman's child won't be allowed into our Huo family. Your brother's initial excitement for her will wear off by then, and their relationship won't last long. They'll definitely get divorced."

"That's right, and Grandpa too. Grandpa loves me the most. I'll definitely make that bitch Wenrou leave my brother crying." Huo Tingting suddenly understood after hearing Song Yulan's words.

Anyway, she's waited all these years, so she's not afraid to wait another year or two. Yan Chuan will be hers sooner or later.

Since Yan Chuan is infertile, she isn't worried about him developing any further with Wen Rou; she'll wait until that bastard child is born before making a decision.

"Tingting, come back with me. If you stay here and cause trouble, Yan Chuan will only become more and more disgusted with you," Song Yulan continued to persuade her.

Huo Tingting nodded; she also felt that what Song Yulan said made sense.

After leaving the hospital, Huo Tingting did not go back to her family home, but went directly back to Beijing with Song Yulan.

Seeing that Huo Tingting and the others had left, Wenrou finally pulled her hand away from Huo Yanchuan's.

"You've ruined your relationship with your family because of me, it's not worth it at all." Thinking about what had just happened, Wenrou still took the initiative to speak.

Huo Yanchuan looked at Wenrou, worried that she was burdened, so he explained to her, "It's not just because of you. Whether you're here or not, my relationship with my family isn't very good. Don't take all the blame on yourself."

He said this to put Wenrou at ease.

Wenrou could guess some things from the conversation just now, but she didn't expect Huo Yanchuan to directly take her hand and say that to his mother.

Could it be that he did it on purpose to provoke her?

Although she didn't know the details of Huo Yanchuan's relationship with his family, it was indeed inappropriate for her to ask such questions given her current status.

"I'll have Hao Gang take you home." Huo Yanchuan said with some reluctance, looking at Wenrou dressed so lightly.

"You..." Wenrou looked at Huo Yanchuan with some concern.

Huo Yanchuan saw the worry in her eyes, so he said, "I'll be fine here by myself for now, don't worry."

"Yes, sister-in-law, you came in a hurry and didn't take any extra clothes. Now that the commander is out of danger, I can take care of him here," Hao Gang said from the side.

Seeing this, Wenrou gave up her insistence and went back with Hao Gang.

Upon arriving at the family compound, Wenrou learned that Zhou Dayong was fully responsible for the incident. Although he wasn't expelled from the army, he was made to write a self-criticism and was severely punished. He has now been demoted to platoon leader.

If he makes another mistake, the military will have no choice but to discharge him.

This incident dealt a heavy blow to Zhou Dayong. He sat at the door, looking completely dejected.

His eyes lit up the moment he saw Wenrou return.

He rushed forward excitedly and grabbed Wenrou's arm. "Is Huo Yanchuan alright? Is he alright?"

He asked this not out of concern for Huo Yanchuan, but out of worry for his own future.

He had already learned from Hao Gang that Huo Yanchuan was alright, only slightly injured.

He always felt that Huo Yanchuan had done it on purpose. With what he had learned at the military academy, he could have easily dodged that bullet, but he was still hit.

Because of him, he was removed from his position as company commander and is now just a lowly platoon leader.

Because of this incident, he was scolded by Shen Qingshuang as soon as he returned.

Shen Qingshuang originally thought that she could enjoy a life of happiness after marrying Zhou Dayong, but she never expected that he would be demoted in just over a month.

If things continue like this, what good days can I expect if I stay with him?

Wenrou looked at Zhou Dayong, who was completely different from his confident and sunny self before.

She frowned and withdrew her hand.

"Whether he's alright or not, this whole thing is your responsibility. You've ended up like this, and you have no one to blame but yourself," Wenrou said expressionlessly.

Back when they lived in the village, Zhou Dayong was indeed very good to her. At that time, he was focused on joining the army and making a name for himself.

He even promised her and her family that once he became a division commander, he would bring her to the army to enjoy a comfortable life.

But now, those things are all in the past.

The current Zhou Dayong is not the same as before. I really want him to take a good look in the mirror. He doesn't seem like a man at all, but more like a resentful woman.

After speaking gently, she ignored him and turned to go home.

As Zhou Dayong watched Wenrou's departing figure, he felt a momentary pang of regret.

He has asked himself more than once whether this is the life he wants.

Huo Yanchuan stayed in the hospital for only three days and returned home on the fourth day.

He used crutches and could walk, but he couldn't put any weight on the injured area.

During this period, he could no longer go to the military for training and could only stay at home to recover from his injury.

Wenrou received the message and was waiting at the door early.

She had been worried about Huo Yanchuan's situation at home for the past few days, and she finally felt relieved when she saw him return.

Huo Yanchuan got out of the car and was taken aback to see Wenrou standing at the door waiting for him.

In the past, when he went out on missions, he would not return for several months at a time. During those times, no one had ever stood at the door waiting for him like she did.

At that moment, Huo Yanchuan suddenly understood the meaning of home.

Isn't home just someone who's always looking forward to and waiting for you to come home?

He walked towards Wenrou, leaning on his cane, and naturally took her hand.

Wenrou didn't think too much about it and stepped forward to help Huo Yanchuan. "Let's go home."

Huo Yanchuan looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Okay."
