Chapter 468 of "Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife" opens with suspenseful action: Chapter 468: Chapter 468: Hualing Reveling in MisfortunePerhaps it was because Qi Taiguo had returned... Keep going!
Chapter 468: Chapter 468: Hualing Reveling in MisfortunePerhaps it was because Qi Taiguo had returned to her side, but Cheng Su slept very soundly that night, warm and cozy. In the morning, when she woke up, he was still holding her, which made her smile and she leaned over to give him a kiss.
"Awake? Want to sleep a bit more?" Qi Taiguo slowly came to consciousness with that uniquely rough voice of the morning, incredibly sexy and magnetic.
Cheng Su couldnāt resist snuggling up closer to him.
"Whatās with you, acting like a little puppy?" Qi Taiguo laughed.
Cheng Su stiffened and pinched him hard, snorted, and sat up to glare at him.
Qi Taiguo reached out to her, "Are you annoyed? Come here, let me smooth your fur!"
Cheng Su let out a yelp and lunged forward, flipping his blanket to scratch him. Qi Taiguo dodged and with a quick grab pulled her onto himself.
After a sweet and tender tussle, Cheng Su said, "I should get up. I have a lot to do today!"
"Mhm!"
Seeing him with his eyes closed, Cheng Su said, "You lie down for a while longer."
The weather outside was very cold. Cheng Su shivered as she washed her face, then scooped some rice to cook porridge in the kitchen.
Squeak!
The bathroom door in the kitchen opened and Hualing came out humming a tune. Startled to see Cheng Su, she went to wash her hands under the faucet and said, "Morning, cooking breakfast?"
"Yes, good morning." Cheng Su rinsed the rice, added water, and turned on the gas stove.
"Is Commander Qi okay?" Hualingās voice came from behind her again.
Cheng Su was taken aback and turned to ask curiously, "Whatās wrong with Old Qi?"
Hualing feigned surprise, "Donāt you know? I heard Commander Qi didnāt follow orders during the mission and left the team on his own, which led to the mission not going well, and even caused the death of a soldier. I hear the organization wants him to write a self-criticism report and have a talk with him. Who knows if theyāll demote him or not!"
Cheng Su frowned, wondering why he hadnāt mentioned anything.
"Hualing!" Chen Shouwang stood at the kitchen door, calling her name with a hint of displeasure, "Are you cooking breakfast or not?"
"Coming!" Hualing immediately went over, and seeing the dazed look on Cheng Suās face, couldnāt help feeling a bit of schadenfreude, delighted inside. She thought, now itās my familyās turn; Old Chen is definitely going to get a medal this time.
Cheng Su returned to her room. The sound of running water came from the bathroom, so she waited outside. She had noticed how tired he appeared last night and although she knew the mission hadnāt gone perfectly, she hadnāt realized there was an issue like this.
Why hadnāt he told her?
Qi Taiguo came out and saw Cheng Su pondering at the door. He couldnāt help asking, "What are you standing here for?"
Cheng Su pulled him to sit down on the sofa and said, "Hualing just told me, during this mission, you didnāt obey orders and left the team on your own? Whatās that about? The organization is going to talk to you? Are they blaming you?"
Qi Taiguo gave a start, "Itās not a big deal, and they might come to understand the situation."
"But what does leaving the team on your own mean?"
"Thatās a state secret, and itās not very convenient for me to tell you, but such a thing did happen. Later, I filed a report, so donāt worry about it."
Cheng Su became anxious, "How can I not worry? Tell me, this mission, itās not going to be blamed on you, right? Could you really be demoted because of it?"
Qi Taiguo patted her shoulder and said, "Itās not as serious as you think. Rest assured, even if I get demoted this time, Iāll make you a Generalās Wife someday!"
Cheng Su clicked her tongue, "I donāt care about that. Iām just afraid youāll be upset about it. Even if you leave the military, I wonāt let you lack food or drink. Iām just worried you wonāt take it well."
Qi Taiguo felt a deep warmth inside and embraced her tightly, saying, "Thatās right, even if Iām no longer a soldier, I still have you!"
