A week later, Gu Linglingâs vacation was over, and she had to return to Qin City.
Yang Yunhaiâs leg injury from before had also healed, and he was able to slowly start walking again.
"Alright, stop looking, or youâll become a wishing stone," Zheng Xiangjun teased Yang Yunhai, patting him on the shoulder. "Get well soon, so your grandpa and I can hold our great-grandchild early."
Yang Yunhai didnât say a word, silently supporting himself against the wall to return to his bed.
But Zheng Xiangjun could still tell he was embarrassed from his reddened ears.
This kid is becoming more and more down-to-earth now.
In this regard, Zheng Xiangjun was very pleased with Gu Lingling. No matter what, she made her grandson lively, no longer as cold as before.
"Howâs it coming along now?" Mr. Yang asked with a concerned look inside the hospital room.
Earlier that year, he had gone on inspection and encountered a heavy snowstorm in the northwest, which blocked traffic and communication. It was only a few days ago that transportation was restored.
Only then did he find out that his most beloved grandson had almost lost his life while on a mission, and he hurried over right after getting off the plane.
"Heâs almost all better now," Zheng Xiangjun replied. "I was scared out of my wits when they brought him back."
She recalled her grandson being carried back unconscious, pale as a sheet, and the hospital had issued two critical condition notices. It was only later, when the retired chief of the military hospital personally operated on him, that they pulled him back.
If not, even if he had woken up, his leg wouldâve been crippled, and wearing a military uniform again would be impossible.
"Sorry for the trouble," Mr. Yang said with guilt.
Since his grandson was raised by them, he, as the grandfather, hadnât done much when something happened.
"What kind of talk is this? Yunhai is my grandson too," Wang Fangyi retorted to Mr. Yang. "You old man went out once and became so polite."
"So whatâs your plan now?" After chatting for a while, Mr. Yang asked Yang Yunhai.
This time, he made a significant contribution, which surely would lead to some changes. Combined with his achievements in recent years, he would definitely move up, but it was a matter of where and what position.
"I still want to stay there," Yang Yunhai thought for a moment and said.
"The current situation isnât too suitable for coming back," Mr. Yang nodded after thinking about it. "Then letâs wait a bit longer."
Zheng Xiangjun shot a meaningful glance at Yang Yunhai, who was talking seriously with Mr. Yang. Donât think she didnât know; the kid probably didnât want to move because Lingling was still in Qin City, right?
Clever boy!
But thatâs not a bad thing.
A man should care for his own wife if he wants to achieve anything big, right?
She contemplated that once the current period was over and things calmed down, they should quickly bring up Yunhaiâs marriage plans, and she should also tidy up those things sheâs been keeping.
Mr. Yang didnât give it much thought and left after giving Yang Yunhai a few more instructions.
The current situation is too special, and many things need to be prepared in advance.
"Worrying life," Zheng Xiangjun said to Wang Fangyi.
"In his position, worrying is unavoidable," Wang Fangyi replied with a smile, shaking his head. Luckily, he retired early, or heâd be like Mr. Yang.
You just canât help but worry.
Gu Lingling had no idea about any of this. Upon returning to Qin City, she heard some explosive news.
