Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 165 Adopting Amber
Sheng Zexi was stunned. He hadn't expected Gu Jianing to suggest going back to pay respects to his mother together.

In fact, he goes back to pay respects every year, and if he happens to be on a mission, he will find another time.

He also plans to go back this year.

It would be good if Ningning could go with him.

He also wanted to introduce such a wonderful Ningning to his mother.

He wanted to tell his mother that he was married, that his wife was wonderful, and that they had a child. He hoped that his mother, in heaven, would bless Ningning and the baby in her womb.

He wanted to tell his mother that after she left, there was finally a third person who loved him, besides his grandparents.

"But your stomach..."

Now, Gu Jianing is more than three months pregnant. By Qingming Festival, she will be about four or five months along.

It's twins again, so her belly must be quite big.

He was worried that Ningning would get too tired.

"It's okay, I'm very healthy, and the baby in my belly is very well-behaved. By then, it will only be less than five months, so there won't be any problems," Gu Jianing said.

She was telling the truth. Thanks to the pregnancy-relieving pills, both she and the baby in her womb were doing very well after she became pregnant.

“Okay, let’s go then.” In the end, Sheng Zexi agreed.

"Ningning, thank you. I, Sheng Zexi, am so fortunate to have married you."

Seeing the emotion in Sheng Zexi's eyes, Gu Jianing smiled, her heart filled with sweetness.

"Okay, it's settled then. Let's start making preparations."

"Let's eat the noodles quickly, or they'll get soggy."

"okay."
-
That day, Gu Jianing didn't have to go to work and was reading at home when there was a knock on the door.

When the door opened, Xiao Duo, who had a sour face, and Amber beside him were seen.

elder sister--

Upon seeing her, Amber enthusiastically approached her and wagged her tail.

"Hmph, so enthusiastic, anyone who didn't know better would think she was your master." Xiao Duo snorted, his tone full of sourness.

Gu Jianing stroked Amber's fur and looked at Xiao Duo, "Squad Leader Xiao, what brings you here?"

"Did you already guess I was coming?" Xiao Duo's tone wasn't very friendly, and his voice was muffled.

Gu Jianing: ?

Seeing Gu Jianing's confusion, Xiao Duo became even angrier. He stomped one foot on the ground, seemingly very unwilling, but still said, "I'm here to deliver a dog to you."

Giving away a dog?!
Okay, Gu Jianing understands now.

"I don't know what kind of bewitching potion you gave Amber, making it now dependent on you..."

In fact, Xiao Duo knew that Amber was disappointed in him after the last incident.

But he still clung to his last glimmer of hope.

During this time, Amber was recovering from her injury, and in addition to training, he had been taking care of her wholeheartedly, hoping to win her back.

He could tell that Amber liked Gu Jianing, so apart from changing her dressing, he didn't allow Amber to have any more contact with Gu Jianing.

But the outcome remains unchanged.

Amber's injuries were slowly healing, but she was becoming more distant from him.

However, after a reassessment, Amber was no longer deemed suitable to be a military dog.

First, their obedience to their master has decreased, and their relationship has deteriorated, which will directly affect the execution of subsequent tasks.

Secondly, the previous incident caused amber to react negatively.

He knew that the amber was like this because of him; he had failed to protect it, and he had chosen to abandon it.

"...Originally, after Amber finished producing and rested, it was supposed to be able to perform missions again according to the original plan, but now, it is no longer suitable to be a military dog."

Therefore, Xiao Duo retired it.

Retired military dogs can be adopted. Originally, Xiao Duo intended to adopt Amber, but Amber strongly refused.

After communicating with and getting to know Amber, Xiao Duo learned that Amber was willing to be adopted, but the adopter was Gu Jianing.

After two days of internal struggle, Xiao Duo still brought Amber with him.

Thinking back to how trusting Gu Jianing was to let him take Amber away, he wondered if this woman had foreseen all of this back then.

She was certain that he would come to her again with the amber and entrust it to her.

"Would you be willing to adopt Amber?" Xiao Duo asked, suppressing the pain in his heart.

"Of course I'm willing." She had made up her mind the moment she saved Amber.

In fact, Sheng Zexi had previously suggested adopting a military dog.

That way, when he's not home, at least he'll have someone to keep him company, and he can also protect Gu Jianing if anything happens.

Especially now that Gu Jianing is pregnant, and she will have two more children later.

Of course, he wanted to be with Gu Jianing and the child at all times, but his status meant he couldn't do that.

If he had a military dog ​​by his side, he would at least feel more at ease.

Gu Jianing had agreed when Sheng Zexi made the suggestion before, but she hadn't adopted her yet. However, after meeting Amber, she felt that Amber was the perfect match.

Now, we've finally waited for this moment.

"Okay, do you have time now? If so, come with me to complete the adoption procedures."

"it is good."

Gu Jianing didn't linger and went out with them. Once they arrived, she signed the adoption form for Amber.

"Is it ready?" Gu Jianing asked.

"Alright, you can take Amber now."

Gu Jianing nodded, then waved to Amber, "Amber, come home with your sister."

Amber walked over to Gu Jianing and followed her out.

As they walked, Amber suddenly stopped, seemingly lost in thought.

"Are you reluctant to leave? Do you want to go back?" Gu Jianing asked.

Amber turned around and could only see Xiao Duo's back. He blinked, and no one could see the clarity in Amber's eyes at that moment.

Then it turned around and said to Gu Jianing, "He will have new partners."

After saying that, it didn't hesitate any longer and followed Gu Jianing forward.

As Xiao Duo listened to the footsteps fading into the distance, he muttered to himself, "Heartless bastards. We fought side by side once."

"We're friends, after all."

"He has no conscience, he just left like that."

"They ran off with others so quickly."

"Good riddance, good riddance, I don't care."

He said it so stubbornly, but when he looked up again, his eyes were already red.

As he spoke, tears streamed down his face.

“Amber…” He suddenly turned around and called out Amber’s name, but he could no longer see Gu Jianing and Amber.

He slowly knelt down, covered his face with his hands, and tears slowly slid down his fingers. "Amber, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

It's my fault for not protecting you, for not choosing you firmly, and for giving you up.

Then it's only right that you give up on me.

Hopefully, Dr. Gu will treat you well.

She'll treat you well, right?
