The God of War Who Protects the Nation: Starting with Saving a Mother and Daughter in Distress

For the next few days, Qin An rested at home.

For some reason, Yang Yuyan seemed unusually clingy to him.

Even when Cai Yan and Cai Zhen are playing nearby, she will not miss the opportunity to get close to Qin An, and her desire can be described as very strong.

At first, Qin An thought she was just missing him, but gradually, he sensed something was wrong.

That night, the children had just fallen asleep when Yang Yuyan eagerly moved closer to him, her cheek pressed against his arm, her breathing a little rapid.

"Husband..." She raised her head, her eyes glazed over.

Seeing her unusual behavior, Qin An showed no excitement whatsoever. Instead, he stopped her from continuing: "Wife, is something wrong?"

Yang Yuyan stiffened, her eyes flickered, and she lowered her head: "No...it's nothing! Husband, are you disgusted by my age and no longer interested in me?"

Although it was meant to change the subject, Yang Yuyan couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she said it.

To be honest, as Qin An performed better and better, she inevitably began to feel a little anxious and uncertain.

If Qin An were just an ordinary farm boy, she would be more than a match for him.

But now, Qin An's rise to power has become apparent, and Yang Yuyan is so much older than him, which makes her a little insecure.

Therefore, seeing that Qin An was able to restrain himself even after she took the initiative made her somewhat uneasy.

Qin An was taken aback, then laughed and cried at the same time: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever dislike you?"

"Then why..." Yang Yuyan bit her lip, "I'm already like this, and you still haven't reacted. Don't tell me you've been drained dry, I don't believe it..."

Yang Yuyan had a clear understanding of her husband's abilities.

He was already exceptionally gifted and physically strong, and perhaps because he was still developing, he was getting stronger and stronger, almost like an animal.

This is also why Yang Yuyan wasn't worried that the nightly revelry would ruin Qin An's health.

Knowing Qin An's power, they felt uneasy seeing him make excuses at this moment.

Qin An interrupted her, cupped her face in his hands, and looked earnestly into her eyes: "My wife, in my heart, you are not old at all. Your maturity, your gentleness and thoughtfulness fascinate me. I am overjoyed, how could I possibly dislike you?"

Qin An's words were spoken with utmost sincerity and emotion.

He genuinely didn't think Yang Yuyan was old.

At twenty-five or twenty-six, in Qin An's eyes, who has modern memories, this age is the prime of life and the most charming time for a woman.

Not to mention, Yang Yuyan already possessed an exquisite face, fair skin, and a voluptuous figure, making her a true beauty.

If I hadn't stumbled upon this opportunity, even with my own system, it would have taken me ages to access something like this, so why would I care so much?

Seeing Yang Yuyan's unusual behavior, Qin An's tone became even gentler: "Wife, if you have anything on your mind, just tell me, and we'll face it together."

Looking into his sincere eyes, Yang Yuyan could no longer hold back her tears: "Husband, I don't doubt you, I'm just... I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid... I won't be able to get pregnant," Yang Yuyan said, choking back tears. "We've been together for so long, and I haven't gotten pregnant at all. Is it because I'm getting older...? I want to have a child for you, a child that belongs to both of us..."

She finally voiced her concerns.

In fact, Yang Yuyan's desires were indeed quite strong, and Qin An's young and strong physique also made her extremely satisfied and obsessed.

But as a well-educated and sensible young lady from a respectable family, she wouldn't be so proactive.

The key issue is that the two have been together for several months and have had sex quite a few times without taking any precautions, yet nothing has happened, which has made her somewhat anxious.

It was precisely because she wanted a child that she wanted to make the most of Qin An's time at home, to have sex with him as much as possible, and to get pregnant.

After all, I'm already getting older, and it will be harder to have children as I get older.

Moreover, Yang Yuyan knew in her heart that Qin An would definitely join the army.

At that time, couples will have even less time to spend together.

In order to ensure Qin An's continuation of the family line, she couldn't care less about anything else and just wanted to seize the opportunity as soon as possible.

After learning the reason, Qin An was deeply moved. He gently wiped away her tears and said softly, "Silly girl, how can you rush these things? Just let nature take its course. Besides, even without children, I will still love you, and love Yan'er and Zhen'er just the same."

"But I want..." Yang Yuyan hugged him tightly, "I want to have a child of ours, so that when you go on a long trip in the future, when I look at the child, it will be like seeing you."

Qin An felt a pang of sadness. He patted her back and gently comforted her, "Okay, I understand. We'll take it slow, no rush. It'll happen eventually. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, relax, okay?"

Yang Yuyan nodded, leaned against his chest, and felt his warm embrace, her unease gradually dissipating.

Looking at her tearful face, Qin An felt a pang of pity.

He gently kissed her forehead and said softly, "Okay, stop crying. You won't look pretty if you keep crying. Since you want it so badly, let's work harder."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuyan blushed and gave him a reproachful look, but her eyes were filled with laughter and anticipation.

Qin An said no more and did his best to fulfill Yang Yuyan's wishes!

……

Life flows by peacefully, like the smoke rising from the chimneys above Baishan Village.

Since the last time the six Bai Ji spies were killed in the mountains, the border has unexpectedly become peaceful.

Perhaps the scouts had suffered heavy losses and were severely weakened, or perhaps the harsh winter had frozen their tracks; for the next three months, no further unusual activity was reported.

Qin An gradually got used to the rhythm of being a constable.

I work five days a week, have two days off, and travel between the county town and Baishan Village.

At the county government office, he was already adept at handling the trivial matters of patrolling the streets and mediating disputes. He also maintained a superficial harmony with Cheng Du and others, neither actively seeking nor rejecting those "gray incomes," and quietly accumulating power.

When he returned home during his time off, Yang Yuyan's gentle care and Cai Yan and Cai Zhen's laughter and chatter helped to dispel much of the turbid atmosphere of the county government office.

That day, Qin An was organizing documents in the police station when Han Quan pushed open the door and walked in, his face showing barely concealed excitement.

"Brother, good news! Your chance has come!" Han Quan patted Qin An on the shoulder, his tone urgent.

Qin An put down his pen, a thought suddenly occurring to him: "Brother Han, what is it?"

"The higher-ups have issued an order," Han Quan lowered his voice, "to conscript men from each village to form militias, conduct intensive training, and say it's 'for unforeseen circumstances.' Think about what that means?"

Qin An's pupils contracted slightly.

The phrase "to prepare for unforeseen circumstances" is almost a harbinger of war in border regions!
