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

Chapter 215 Returning to the Northwest After a Short Separation, Reunited

Guoguo happily circled around Gu Jianing.

Grandma Sang also got off the bus and saw Zhang Shuwan and Guoguo.

"Oh, you must be Shu Wan. This is Guo Guo. Our Ning girl often talks about you two..."

Grandma Sang knew about Zhang Shuwan and Guoguo from Gu Jianing.

Sure enough, Grandma Sang, a social butterfly, immediately started chatting with Zhang Shuwan.

"Let's all go inside, everyone, and not stay at the entrance," Sheng Zexi said.

"Yes, let's go in, let's all go in."

Gu Jianing walked into the house and looked around.

She had been gone for over a month, but nothing here seemed to have changed.

It was also very clean and tidy, which shows that Sheng Zexi has been cleaning and organizing it all along.

Yes, Sheng Zexi had been the one tidying up and cleaning the house before.

Sheng Zexi knew that Gu Jianing was somewhat lazy.

He also indulged Gu Jianing's laziness.

For Sheng Zexi, Gu Jianing is his wife, and a wife should be pampered.

As for these household chores and such.

Since it's a family chore, it's either you or me who does it.

But Sheng Zexi felt that as a grown man, it was better for him to share more of the burden.

He did many things that were easy for him and didn't necessarily have to be done by Gu Jianing whenever he had time.

Grandma Sang pulled Zhang Shuwan and Guoguo into the house and gave them some things she had bought from Beijing.

"We can't accept this."

"I can't accept this. I brought it especially for Ning's best friend. You are Ning's best friend."

"You have to accept it."

"Besides, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. I was hoping you could help our Ning girl out in the future."

"That's for sure, Jia Ning and I definitely help each other."

"Hey, your belly is so big, are you about to give birth?"

"I'm carrying twins. To be honest, I was able to get pregnant thanks to Jia Ning."

……

While Grandma Sang and Zhang Shuwan were chatting enthusiastically.

Sheng Zexi had already brought Gu Jianing back to the room.

Almost as soon as she returned to the room, before Gu Jianing could even speak, Sheng Zexi hugged her tightly.

"Wife, I miss you, I miss you so much."

Sheng Zexi buried his head in Gu Jianing's slender, fair neck, inhaling her breath.

Only when he held his wife in his arms did his heart finally find peace.

"Brother Xi, I miss you too."

Gu Jianing hugged Sheng Zexi back.

For lovers, longing is mutual.

During this time, her longing for Sheng Zexi was no less than Sheng Zexi's longing for her.

Now, being held in Sheng Zexi's arms, she also felt at ease.

This peace of mind is my hometown.

Indeed, home is where your loved ones and family are.

"How have you been lately? Have you been eating well? How's your sleep?" Sheng Zexi asked.

Gu Jianing didn't interrupt him and just listened to what he had to say.

Only after he finished speaking did Gu Jianing laugh and say, "Didn't you ask all of these questions on the phone?"

Yes, he's asked that before; he asks it every time we talk on the phone. But asking over the phone is completely different from asking in person.

"You're supposed to be the deputy regimental commander, but you look so silly," Gu Jianing teased, cupping the man's face in her hands.

Sheng Zexi gazed at Gu Jianing with deep affection, "Yes, in front of you, I am just a fool."

From the moment he met her, his heart followed her, and his mind raced with her.

But he did it willingly.

"Then let me tell you, I'm doing very well, don't worry. Look, look, my child and I are both doing fine." Gu Jianing even turned around to show him.

When Sheng Zexi saw Gu Jianing's reply and her rosy complexion, he was completely relieved.

But he still held onto Gu Jianing and refused to let go.

Gu Jianing also hugged him, that is—

"Oh dear, if the people in the military region knew that our Deputy Regiment Commander Sheng, the Jade-Faced Yama, was such a clingy husband, they would probably lose all face."

"So what if I lose everything? I don't care what others think. All I want is my wife," Sheng Zexi said frankly and with considerable pride.

Gu Jianing chuckled.

"Okay, okay, you want your wife."

"Has the child been bothering you lately?" Sheng Zexi asked.

"It's alright, do you want to ask?" Gu Jianing casually mentioned it.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Zexi took it seriously.

He gently placed his large hand on Gu Jianing's pregnant belly and asked, "Baby, have you been fussing over Mommy lately?"

"Mommy had a hard time carrying you, so you can't bother her, okay?"

Sheng Zexi said that, but before he knew it, he felt a slight bulge in Gu Jianing's belly. He felt as if his large hand had been kicked by a small foot.

This left Sheng Zexi completely dumbfounded.

"Ningning, Ningning, baby, the baby just kicked me."

"Yes, the children kicked you because they heard what their father said and were responding to him."

Gu Jianing also found it amazing.

Come to think of it, the two children she's carrying seem to be just like her—lazy and not very active.

Therefore, Sheng Zexi has never seen the child move until now.

Even Gu Jianing herself rarely does.

Unexpectedly, the child moved. Could it be that the child heard Sheng Zexi's words and responded to their father's words?

Is it so magical?

Anyway, Mr. Sheng, a first-time father, was dumbfounded when he felt the baby move.

It took her a while to realize what was happening, and then, with a silly smile on her face, she continued talking to the child, getting more and more excited as she spoke.

Looking at this scene, Gu Jianing felt that the happiest moment could not have been this.

The two lingered in the room for a while, but ultimately decided to come out because there were other people in the living room.

When she came out, Zhang Shuwan was still chatting with her grandmother.

Guoguo ate her food while showing great affection for Grandma Sang.

However, Grandma Sang was getting on in years and was tired after sitting on the train for a day and a night.

So, after chatting for a while, Sheng Zexi arranged for her to rest in the room.

Zhang Shuwan wanted to talk to Gu Jianing, but she was worried that Gu Jianing would be too tired, so she left with Guoguo.

Anyway, Jia Ning is back, so we can chat anytime we want.

Gu Jianing was indeed a bit tired, so she went to rest.

While Gu Jianing was resting, news of her return spread throughout the Northwest Military Region in just one afternoon.

Everyone was looking forward to Gu Jianing's return.

Gu Jianing's trip to Beijing made her famous throughout the country.

Today, she is widely recognized as a miracle doctor in the Northwest Military Region.
