Chapter 598: Chapter 588 Specifically to Treat You
"What happened after that?" Shen Yunfang asked curiously.
"What else could happen, they didn’t pursue it on that end, so the matter was over. But Old Chen, with her temperament, after such a blow, was even more done for. Her daughter-in-law secretly wiped tears with me and asked me to talk some sense into her. How could I not talk to her? I turned the issue upside down and inside out to Old Chen, but that stubborn donkey wouldn’t even make a peep, exasperating me to death," Li Hongjun recalled the scene and felt so angry he could hardly stand it. If this had been someone under his command back in his unit, he’d have kicked them long ago. It’s not a big deal, and once it’s over it’s over. Could a big man really be killed off by a splash of pee? If you’ve had a fall, just learn your lesson. Next time reclaim your ground and be done with it. Why go on as if you’re half dead?
"Aww, so there’s another stubborn donkey that can match you, huh? That’s really not easy," Shen Yunfang said with a laugh.
"What are you talking about, a few days without a lesson and you start turning the heavens upside down is it?" Li Hongjun immediately glared, turned over, and pressed his wife under him, hmmm, his wife still smelled sweet.
"Hehe, alright, I know what you’re capable of, happy now? Hurry up and get off, otherwise our daughter will see and start hollering again," although Shen Yunfang said this, her restless little hands were scratching around on his chest.
"Hmm..." Li Hongjun couldn’t help but moan, "You little goblin, already the mother of two, and yet still know how to play the seductress, let’s see how I deal with you..."
Before Li Hongjun could finish his fierce words, their daughter’s voice came from the other room, "Daddy, come help me."
"Hehe, look at that, tough guy, huh? My Manman is the one to take care of you," Shen Yunfang laughed under her breath. A bane for a bane—it seemed her Manman was born specifically to deal with Li Hongjun, the big demon.
"You little ingrate, all you do is laugh at me, huh?" Li Hongjun said irritably, but seeing her pouting her little mouth, he couldn’t resist bending down to kiss it.
"Daddy, come quick."
Li Hongjun scrambled off his wife, tumbling as he ran to attend to his daughter’s needs.
Shen Yunfang was left lying on the bed, laughing heartily. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
It took a while before Li Hongjun came back into the room to continue the chat with his wife. Their earlier conversation had been sidetracked, and he had important matters yet to tell his wife.
"Chen Jing’s house belongs to her unit, and now that she’s been sacked, she can’t live there anymore. Seeing their situation was really tough, I left her sister-in-law five hundred bucks when I left." It was his wife’s money that he gave away, and he didn’t feel good about it, but given the circumstances, they were far from optimistic. If he didn’t help Chen Jing’s family, they were likely to end up homeless on the streets.
"Right, what you did was good. Not to mention that Chen Jing is your comrade-in-arms, but when I went to S city for studying back then, they had helped me a lot. Now that they’re in trouble, it’s only right for us to offer a hand where we can. Who doesn’t have hard times?" Shen Yunfang had a good impression of Chen Jing and her spouse; both were straightforward and didn’t play any tricks, making them great friends. However, such people would definitely be at a disadvantage in society, and wasn’t their current plight exactly why?
"My wife is sensible," Li Hongjun said fondly, planting another kiss, of course only after glancing at the door to make sure their two little tyrants weren’t coming to cause trouble.
"Go on, stop trying to smooth-talk me," Shen Yunfang enjoyed the closeness between them, so as he moved in for the kiss, she followed with her lips.
When the two separated, they were both panting, their eyes sparkling as they looked into each other’s.
"Wife..." Li Hongjun was a man, and being provoked by his wife like that, he felt uncomfortable all over.
"Stop calling, your daughter will come over and cause trouble again in a moment," Shen Yunfang said. "Bear with it for now, wait for tonight."
As for what they would do tonight, only the two of them knew.
That day, after finishing her morning classes, Shen Yunfang anxiously hurried home, all to make something edible for that lazy man at home who wouldn’t cook.
Thinking about this, Shen Yunfang frowned and shook her head again. These days, out of compassion for Li Hongjun’s injuries, she had been waiting on him hand and foot as if he were a king. Spoiling him to the extent where he had developed bad habits inadvertently. Now that his body was almost fully recovered, he was still lying in bed calling for his wife. If she didn’t go back to cook for him, he would rather starve than cook for himself. It was all because she had indulged him too much. Back when they were in the military, Li Hongjun was the one who always took care of her and the others.
Shen Yunfang sighed, consoling herself that a little more spoiling wouldn’t matter. His time for recuperation had already reached three months, and she guessed that it wouldn’t be long before he returned to the military.
But when she got home, she found that Li Hongjun wasn’t there.
Shen Yunfang furrowed her brows in thought. Where could he have gone? Since he had come home to recover, he rarely went out except for hospital follow-up visits. Maybe he went out to buy groceries?
After changing clothes, she entered the kitchen, donned an apron, and started cooking. She wasn’t worried about Li Hongjun’s safety; with his skills, even if he encountered a few thugs, it shouldn’t be a problem. So she figured that Li Hongjun must have gone out for a reason.
By the time she had finished eating, he still hadn’t returned. She paced around the room anxiously, unable to go out to look for him. Firstly, she had no idea where to start—the Capital was so vast, how could she possibly search everywhere? And secondly, she feared that if she left, Li Hongjun might return, and they would miss each other entirely. At this moment, she particularly missed the cellphones of the future, which enabled people to locate each other anytime, anywhere with just a phone call.
Around one in the afternoon, Li Hongjun was finally brought back by a military jeep, and Shen Yunfang watched from the balcony as he came upstairs.
"Where have you been?" Shen Yunfang snapped the moment he entered. The man had no sense of organizational discipline—couldn’t he at least report before leaving?
"Leader Yu called me in for a talk, I didn’t manage to inform you. Wife, you must have been worried," Li Hongjun also felt anxious. He might have been physically present but his heart was elsewhere; however, there was nothing he could do—when the higher-ups summoned him, all he could do was stand straight and listen.
"Of course, I was! A big living person just vanishes without a trace, how could I not worry? You could have at least left me a note if you had to go out," Shen Yunfang reprimanded bitterly. She felt that she was already showing remarkable restraint by not lashing out verbally that afternoon.
Li Hongjun indeed hadn’t thought about doing so. "Forgot, forgot. I knew I was missing something. Have you eaten yet, wife? I’ll go cook for you," Li Hongjun knew he was in the wrong and quickly tried to make amends.
"Oh, cut it out. It’s already this time, and you’re asking if I haven’t eaten yet. Don’t talk nonsense." Shen Yunfang mercilessly exposed him.
"Heh heh, I’m just concerned about my wife. Come on, wife, don’t stay angry, I’m telling you, the leader called me in to discuss my return to the unit after my injury heals..."
Shen Yunfang cut Li Hongjun off before he could finish speaking, "What? Aren’t your injuries still healing? They want you to rejoin the unit already? Is that something a human does?"
