During the days Qi Taiguo was out on a mission, Cheng Su was both working at the restaurant and busy making jam, leaving home early and returning late with Qiulan every day, living a busy yet fulfilling life.
As for Qi Taiguo, it was probably the first time he felt eager to return home after a mission. He swiftly jumped off the military truck and headed straight for the compound.
"Yo, Commander Qi is missing his sister-in-law!" a young soldier teased him with a whistle from the truck window.
"Get lost," Qi Taiguo spat back with a laugh and a mock curse before he moved on.
Arriving at his front door, he took a moment to tidy up his collar, thought better of it, and left it disheveled to look worn out, then knocked on the door feigning exhaustion.
Women are all soft-hearted, after all.
Thud, thud.
He waited a while, but there was no response. Qi Taiguo's thick brows furrowed, and he knocked again, yet still there was silence inside.
