He's afraid you'll be snatched away by someone else after marriage.

  Ye Shanshan hastily squatted down, holding Xiaoxiao's face with a mixture of heartache and guilt, "Sorry, your dad...".

  Xiao Xiao is a considerate and obedient child, although she felt a little upset in her heart, it wasn't to the extent that mommy needed to apologize. "It's okay, Mommy got hurt, Daddy taking care of you more is what should be done."

  "Our Xiaoxiao is so well-behaved!" Ye Shanshan was overjoyed and kissed her little girl's face, "Mommy will take you to buy a mother-daughter outfit, okay?"

  "Alright, alright." The parent-child outfit and all, Xiaoxiao has been looking forward to it for a long time.

  Kids are really easy to coax, aren't they?

  Ye Shanshan smiled and strolled around the mall for over an hour, not only buying a beautiful parent-child outfit but also purchasing a thin cashmere sweater for each of her husband's parents. Unfortunately, she had just received her monthly salary yesterday, and it was all spent within this one hour.

  The mother and daughter returned home just in time for dinner. As soon as they entered the door, the little girl couldn't wait to show off to her grandparents, "Grandpa and Grandma, Mommy took Xiaoxiao to buy a parent-child outfit, isn't it beautiful?"

  The old lady looked at her daughter-in-law and granddaughter wearing the same cartoon T-shirts, envying them so much, "You two standing together like this, which looks like a mother-daughter relationship, but separately just like sisters."

  "Mom also bought you and grandpa a couple's outfit." This little girl, her mind is really clever. They were just two sweaters of the same style, but she actually said they were a couple's outfit.

  "This is quite a surprise for Old Lady Guo, 'Do I and your grandfather have a share too?'"

  Ye Shanshan handed the bag to her mother-in-law with both hands, "This brand's thin style is on sale now, just in time for autumn wear, but I don't know if the size fits."

  Mrs. Gu took it, moved to tears, this daughter-in-law was more considerate than her own precious youngest daughter, no wonder Beichen insisted on marrying her.

  What made the old lady even happier was that after dinner, her son actually called back voluntarily. Before hanging up, Gu Bei Chen specially told his mother that it was Su Xing who reminded him to call home frequently.

  Two woolen sweaters plus this thoughtful phone call, and Old Lady Gu's heart was thoroughly won over by her former daughter-in-law. Since she had truly accepted her, she should also show some affection towards the child, "Shanshan, come with me to the study, I have something for you."

  Looking at the pair of high-quality old pit glass Guifei jade bangles placed on the table, Ye Shanshan was frightened silly, such valuable things, were they to be given to her?

  "This is the heirloom of the old Gu family, now I'm giving it to you." Logically speaking, this thing should have been given to her when Shanshan entered the door, but at that time, Old Lady Gu still had some reluctance in her heart and didn't think of this matter. Today, after receiving the gift from her daughter-in-law, the old lady finally remembered that the other family's child was already a member of the Gu family, and she hadn't even given a decent gift to meet her.

  "This... is too valuable." Jade bangles and whatnot, one careless move and they'd shatter, this kind of thing really isn't suitable for Ye Shanshan.

  "Take it back and keep it well, just wear it during festivals and special occasions." According to ancient sayings, jade has a spiritual nature, only when worn close to the body does it truly belong to you. No matter how precious or fragile, it's still necessary to occasionally take it out and wear it to communicate with its spirit.

  "Thank you, mom." As the only daughter-in-law in the family, inheritance was an unavoidable responsibility, and Ye Shanshan was very clear about this.

  Old lady Gu said with a smile, "This thing has been passed down for several generations. In the future, when you have a daughter-in-law, you can pass it on to her."

  Coughing... Ye Shanshan was choked and couldn't catch her breath, coughing until her face turned bright red.

  Heavens, isn't this anxious old lady wanting her to continue the family line for the Gu's right now?

  Old Lady Gu hastily walked up and helped her daughter-in-law pat her back to calm down, "Look at you getting scared, I didn't say that you have to give birth to a child for the Gu family right now."

  "Mom, I'm sorry...I've discussed it with Xiaoxiao and Beichen, after I graduate..." Ye Shanshan hesitated, not knowing how to continue, but was interrupted by her mother-in-law's smile.

  "I understand, you're still young, it's already a sacrifice for you to marry into our family so early, let's not rush the matter of having children." After truly accepting Shanshan, Old Lady Gu also became a kind and understanding mother-in-law.

  Ye Shanshan could only smile helplessly, "I wish I was born a few years earlier."

  "Silly child, if you were born a few years earlier, who knows, maybe some young man from another family would have snatched you up already. How could our family's Beichen have been so lucky?" By now, Old Lady Gu had completely regarded her own daughter-in-law as a treasure.

  Ye Shanshan couldn't help but boast, scratching her head in embarrassment, "I'm not as good as you say I am."

  "What nonsense are you talking about? You're not good enough, and my son is in such a hurry to bring you home?" Old Lady Gu said with an air of complete normalcy.

  Her heart was as sweet as honey, but she had to pretend to be reserved, "He's not back for a rare visit, so I want to get married as soon as possible."

  "He's afraid someone else will snatch you away!"

  Yeshan's face turned as red as a tomato, and she didn't know what to say, so she just smiled foolishly.

  "Shan Shan, actually... I've always wanted to ask you, our family's Bei Chen is so much older than you and has a child, why are you willing to marry him?" The other person's child is still young, now asking this seems a bit inappropriate, but Gu Lao Tai was really curious.

  "At first, I just wanted to let Grandpa leave with peace of mind. But after getting along slowly, I found that he was indeed a good person worth entrusting his life to." As she recalled the bits and pieces of her time with him, Ye Shanshan's smile grew sweeter.

  "I'm relieved to think that you can, marriage is a lifelong thing, without the sustenance of love, happiness is just empty talk. You have him in your heart, he must be able to feel it. Maybe, the day he returns to G city is not far away." After circling around, it still came back to the starting point. This wish cannot come true, and Old Lady Gu will never be at peace.

  Wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

  Before he knew it, a month had passed. The early winter sky was getting colder and colder, but Gu Bei Chen was getting farther and farther away from his little wife.

  The military exercise plan changed suddenly, and he was dispatched to T Province. Due to communication restrictions, it had been half a month since he last called home. During this time, Ye Shanshan's only comfort was the self-criticism letter written by him.

  The letter of apology was written for his loud scolding and distrust of her, with thousands of words, every sentence revealing sincere remorse.

  Day after day of waiting did not wear away Ye Shuang's patience, but made the worries in her heart grow more severe with each passing day.

  Located in the northwest, T Province has a cold climate. It's common for nighttime temperatures to drop to minus twenty degrees Celsius. Military exercises are often conducted outdoors. Won't he freeze? During military exercises, both sides want to win at all costs. Won't there be accidental injuries?

  After waiting for nearly a month in anxiety, Ye Shanshan finally felt the helplessness and powerlessness of being a military wife. Except for quietly waiting and silently praying, she could do nothing else.
