This was the first time the couple had met at work since they got married.

Song Yanzhou held Jiang Zhiyu's hand, looked around at the big shots, raised his chin high, and felt extremely happy.

This is my wife. Haha, all these big shots are waiting for my wife.

Jiang Zhiyu turned around and saw her man's silly expression; his smile almost stretched to his ears. She quietly pinched him.

"Stop showing off. This mission is top secret. Did you volunteer?"

Song Yanzhou nodded quickly.

"Yes. There were so many people who signed up, but I was chosen, it's definitely because of you, my wife."

He lowered his voice to explain.

"Because there were just too many people signing up this time, and I don't even know what the mission is, but the higher-ups said it's top secret. Just from these few military regions, there were at least three hundred people who signed up, and they're all officers at the regimental level or above. I was thinking, how lucky am I to be selected? Only four out of over three hundred people are chosen. Honey, think about the odds! I absolutely refuse to believe that no leader gave you any special treatment."

Jiang Zhiyu rolled her eyes at him.

"Alright, stop joking around, let's go."

……

Jiang Zhiyu led Song Yanzhou straight to Gao Lao's office.

Old Gao then came in, saw the two sitting on the sofa, and smiled.

"I knew you'd be waiting for me here."

He turned to Song Yanzhou.

"Young Master Song, it's been a long time."

Song Yanzhou immediately stood up straight and bowed.

"Greetings, Commander!"

Old Gao waved his hand, gesturing for the two to sit down.

He looked at Jiang Zhiyu and spoke slowly.

"How about it? This time I'm getting the child's father to come with you on the mission, so that old man Song Bingzheng won't keep bothering me. He even has to make a phone call for something as small as asking for leave for his grandson; my ears are practically callous with exhaustion."

Jiang Zhiyu touched her nose and remained silent.

Song Yanzhou had a look on his face that said, "Just as I thought."

He then explained why he was chosen. Out of over three hundred people, only four were selected. Although he felt he was good enough, he also knew there were always people more capable than him. It turned out that Old Gao had pulled strings behind the scenes.

After Jiang Zhiyu sat down, she asked Old Gao.

"So the location has been decided. When should I go there?"

Old Gao took a document, flipped through a few pages, and began to speak.

"We've prepared a space large enough for you to build a passageway, based on the existing infrastructure. The people in the lab over there said you can go there the day after tomorrow."

He raised his head, his gaze darkening.

"The sooner we start this work, the better. Other countries are making progress, while our foundation is weak, so we need to be early birds that start early."

Jiang Zhiyu nodded knowingly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gao, I'll be there the day after tomorrow."

Mr. Gao handed her a detailed address slip.

"I've already informed them, you can go directly. Everyone in the office has already left. Just choose a convenient time to go."

Then he looked at Song Yanzhou.

"How will that Song family boy get there?"

Although he was looking at Song Yanzhou, his questioning gaze was directed at Jiang Zhiyu.

Jiang Zhiyu pondered for a moment.

Oh well, once the spatial channel is opened, others will know about my abilities anyway.

She glanced at Song Yanzhou, then looked at Old Gao.

"I'll take him there."

Old Gao nodded.

"Okay. Then you all get ready."

……

When I came out of the central area, the corridor was empty, and sunlight slanted in from the side windows, casting streaks of light and shadow on the terrazzo floor.

Song Yanzhou still couldn't quite believe it.

Just how capable is this daughter-in-law? She can even enter Old Gao's office with ease, and she's so familiar with him that Old Gao calls her "you little rascal."

It's clear that we've had quite a bit of interaction before.

He always felt this was unreal, as if his wife might leave at any moment.

He squeezed Jiang Zhiyu's hand tighter and tighter.

Jiang Zhiyu squeezed his hand in return.

"What's wrong? You seem to be spacing out a lot today."

Song Yanzhou's voice was a little low.

"Wife, you won't leave me, will you?"

Jiang Zhiyu turned to look at him. She saw the caution in his eyes, and a hint of fear hidden deep within.

Why should I leave you?

Song Yanzhou hesitated.

"I always feel like you're not real. It's like you... never belonged to this world. I'm afraid that when I open my eyes, it will all be just my imagination."

Jiang Zhiyu stopped in her tracks.

She looked deeply at Song Yanzhou, then stepped forward and buried her head in his chest.

He said sullenly.

"Then give me a hug, and see if I'm real."

Song Yanzhou wrapped Jiang Zhiyu tightly.

He held her very tightly. It was as if only in this way could he feel that his wife was real.

Because she is truly too powerful. He had never been in contact with the core of her mission before, and if it weren't for Elder Gao's help, he probably would never have been able to get to his wife's side in terms of work.

He didn't know why his wife was so amazing, nor did he know how many secrets she was hiding. All he knew was that the person in his arms was his wife, the mother of their two children, and the greatest fortune of his life.

And so, the two leaned on each other in the morning light.

The passing staff kept their heads down, and not one of them gave a second glance.

After more than ten minutes, Song Yanzhou reluctantly released his wife from his arms.

"Come on, wife, let's go home."

"Aren't we going on a mission together the day after tomorrow? Let's go home today and have a good family reunion. I haven't seen Yao Yao and Zheng Zheng in a long time."

Jiang Zhiyu interrupted him.

"I just spent a lot of time with them recently. Don't drag me into it."

Song Yanzhou chuckled.

"Okay, I won't bring my wife. She's always been a very good mother."

……

It was a rare sight for the people in the Song family's old house to see Jiang Zhiyu and Song Yanzhou returning hand in hand.

The young couple are both very busy, and they rarely have time to come back together.

The two little ones were happier than anyone else to see their parents come back together, and they rushed over to them.

Song Yanzhou and Jiang Zhiyu each carried one child, and the family walked towards the restaurant laughing like this.

After taking his seat, Song Yanzhou finally spoke.

"The day after tomorrow, Zhiyu and I will go on a mission together."

Upon hearing the words "mission," the two little ones visibly wilted.

Grandpa Song and Grandma Song were somewhat helpless, but they didn't say much.

"Don't worry, go ahead. Your grandma and I will take good care of the child. Besides, aren't there guards? I saw that they've sent more people here these past few days, they've been keeping watch on the perimeter."

Jiang Zhiyu nodded.

"Well, we have a special mission to carry out recently. Better safe than sorry."

Grandpa Song nodded and said nothing more.

……

The next day, the couple, as if on cue, took their two children to school together and then chatted with their grandparents afterward.

Who were Grandpa Song and Grandma Song? They immediately sensed something unusual about this mission.

But they also knew that this was not something they could ask too many questions about.

……

"Host, how do you plan to take Song Yanzhou there? Will you keep him conscious or unconscious?"

After several days of silence, Seventeen finally resurfaced.

Jiang Zhiyu thought for a while.

"Let him go there conscious. I'll be bringing people over there once the Earth-Moon passage is open. Do you expect me to knock them all unconscious before taking them?"
