When Shen Jingyu returned, he not only brought medicine but also prepared some warm water suitable for Su Xing to drink. Su Xing didn't even have to lift a finger; Shen Jingyu would bring the cup to his lips, almost as if he would chew the food for him.
"Dear, have you confirmed the whereabouts of our two fathers?" Su Xing asked, causing Shen Jingyu's hand to pause. "Who has such keen ears? How did this reach you?"
"You should take this seriously," Su Xing reminded him.
Shen Jingyu didn't want to continue this topic. It was true that Su Xingtian had made plans and needed to have a serious talk with him.
"Darling, this matter has been delayed for quite some time. Since you've found them, why not go and bring them back?"
"I really want to see them! Just consider it my wish, okay? I promise I'll take good care of myself while you're away!"
Su Xing understood that Shen Jingyu was hesitating to go in person because his health was not in the best condition. However, this issue could not be postponed any longer! Someone suitable needed to persuade them to return!
Shen Jingyu fell into deep silence. He absolutely did not want to leave Su Xing at home like this, but given his current condition, he couldn't go out; he could hardly withstand the pressure changes during a flight! Not to mention that place was still a primeval forest!
"Can I give you a week? Will you be able to bring them back?" Su Xing felt that if he didn't apply some pressure, Shen Jingyu would drag this matter on indefinitely.
"Wife, leaving now might not be the right timing! They might not come back with me immediately!" Shen Jingyu didn't mention that they still had a case on their hands.
Su Xing nodded knowingly. "Alright then! How about giving you two weeks? Is that enough time for you to solve another case?"
Shen Jingyu replied, "Your intelligence hasn't diminished at all! You're spot on!"
"If you don't want me to pack your bags, then you should take the initiative!"
"In these few days, I've managed to recruit two little allies in Shen Tian Er and Gu Tongtong; it won't be a problem for them to take turns caring for me."
"As for Aunt and Grandma, they can handle things too. If it really comes down to it, I can have Mu Beiyao come over to take care of me."
"Your logistical support is absolutely reliable! So you need to trust me!"
Shen Jingyu felt reassured about home; although his two younger sisters seemed immature, they were quite capable when it came to caring for others! As for Mu Beiyao—she wasn't very good at taking care of people! It would be better to let her rest so she wouldn't come over and say something trivial!
Seeing that Shen Jingyu had agreed, Su Xing felt relieved.
The next morning, Su Xing was already sitting in the living room early, chatting with her aunt, while Shen Jingyu and Gu Zheng were both ready to head out. Shen Huairou was particularly considerate, reminding her husband to take care of his health due to his age and to remember to take his nutritional supplements regularly.
As Shen Jingyu listened to her go on and on, he couldn't help but notice that his own wife seemed completely at ease about him leaving. Gradually, Su Xing felt she should say a few words as well. She stood up in front of Shen Jingyu and said, "Well, your wife has a few simple words. I wish you a successful mission! May everything go smoothly!"
Shen Jingyu thought to himself that he wanted to hear more from her, but she hadn't said anything else! Did she not want him to come back early? Eventually, he took the initiative to ask her.
Su Xing pondered for a moment and replied, "If you don’t complete the mission, how can you come back? So to avoid any further complications, let’s just get it done in one go!"
Su Xing felt very positive and energetic about her words, unaware that she had inadvertently offended her husband. Shen Jingyu looked at her with a hint of melancholy and said, "Once you're better, we need to have a serious talk about this issue—about why you don’t want your husband to come back early."
"You man, don’t twist my words!" Su Xing protested.
Shen Jingyu didn’t believe her. By the time breakfast was over, it was nearly time for them to leave. After they departed, Su Xing exchanged a knowing smile with Shen Huairou.
"You child, you really have put pressure on me," Shen Huairou said confidently.
Su Xing shook her head lightly. "Not at all! Auntie, you just focus on your treatment! My mom will arrive at the battlefield by noon, and after that, all responsibilities will fall on her!"
In reality, Shen Huairou had prepared a toxin-fighting medication but had only conducted brief experiments; it wasn't ready for immediate use. However, since Su Xing was pregnant and frequently coughing up blood, timely treatment was crucial as there was a high risk of both mother and child dying if left untreated.
While experiencing frequent bouts of blood loss, Su Xing had secretly consulted Shen Huairou. After learning about an adventurous method of treatment, she expressed her unwavering support for it. The only challenge now was getting Shen Jingyu out of the house so they would have ample time for their daring activities.
That night, after Su Xing received an injection of the medication, she endured immense and indescribable pain. Meanwhile, far away at the Border, just after landing, Shen Jingyu felt an unsettling sensation gnawing at him.
Unable to resist any longer, he asked his assistant beside him, "Have there been any updates from home?"
Luo Hao checked the satellite devices specifically: "Nothing! Everything is normal!"
At that moment, his aunt chimed in from behind him: "Do you still not trust your aunt? She said she would be taking care of your wife closely these days!"
"Oh, my dad is really worried about my mom. Hasn't she suffered enough over the years?" Gu Xiaobai said, his tone a bit cheeky.
Shen Jingyu glanced around at him and asked, "Where's Pei Yufei? Why isn't he on this mission with you?"
Gu Xiaobai became a bit uneasy. "Well, I took her to Galaxy Bar one time, and then she met a man. After spending an entire night enjoying the nightlife, he asked for leave to date her. Can you believe it?"
"Do you know what kind of person he is? Have you looked into it?" Shen Jingyu didn't express disbelief but was concerned about his subordinate's romantic situation.
Gu Xiaobai replied confidently, "I checked! Can you guess who it is? It seems he has some connection with my sister-in-law."
"Is he pursuing her? Isn't that a bit much?" Shen Jingyu responded.
Gu Xiaobai continued with another clue, "He's a handsome professor from some university. I can't believe someone like him would even go to a bar! And the strangest part is that despite being so charming and having so many students chasing after him, his dating history is... zero!"
"After some digging, I found out that he's had a crush on my sister-in-law since childhood! I just don't know if this Pei Xiao Qian Jin is attracted to her looks or her intelligence. Or maybe he's just trying to compete with me for her attention?"
Gu Xiaobai's comments drew sharp looks from his father and cousin.
"Do you know what Pei Yufei's family does? You should be more careful with your words!" Gu Zheng was clearly concerned about his son's remarks.
Shen Jingyu added protectively, "Stop dragging your sister-in-law into everything!"
