Wenrou hesitated for only a few minutes before accepting the child.

This child was an unexpected joy. She reached out and touched her belly. Besides the fear of childbirth, she also felt a sense of anticipation for the baby.

However, thinking about Huo Yanchuan's work, Wenrou asked with some concern, "If we have a second child now, will it affect your work?"

"It will affect your promotion prospects for the next three to five years, and some of your monthly salary will also be deducted, but compared to the child, these are nothing," Huo Yanchuan said casually.

In reality, the punishment will definitely be much more severe than he said, but given the many honors he carries, these will be taken into consideration when the matter is investigated.

He didn't care about being promoted or not; no matter what he did, he always firmly believed in serving the country.

She looked at him gently, her expression a mixture of tenderness and worry.

"or……"

She knew in her heart that in this sensitive period, she would feel guilty if having a second child affected Huo Yanchuan's future.

Huo Yanchuan knew what Wenrou wanted to say, so he reached out and held her hand tightly.

"Don't worry, it's not as serious as you think. Even if I don't work in the operations department, I'll find other jobs to support you and the children. Your man isn't as weak as you think."

Huo Yanchuan gave her a reassuring look. Besides, he had suffered such serious injuries while on a mission in the army. If it weren't for his good physical condition, he would probably have died long ago.

Because of that injury, he suffered lasting health problems.

These are all his medals. He could exchange them for the child in Wenrou's belly without any problem.

"Mm." Wenrou nodded in relief when she heard him say that.

She stayed in the hospital for a day, and went home the next day after she felt better.

Neither of the children knew that Wenrou was pregnant or that she was hospitalized. Huo Yanchuan only said that she was busy with work and stayed at the transport team for a day.

Since becoming pregnant, Wenrou has reduced her workload somewhat.

At this time, it's still necessary to keep a low profile about the pregnancy, especially since she's pregnant with her second child.

She also consulted the hospital, who said that if she were to have a forced abortion, it would cause her great harm.

The next day, Huo Yanchuan proactively reported Wenrou's pregnancy to his workplace. Of course, he wouldn't allow Wenrou to have a forced abortion, so he had to ask his workplace to punish her.

When his superiors heard about this, they were very angry and immediately suspended him from his duties.

Huo Yanchuan had made preparations on his way here, and he was not surprised by this punishment.

The next day, they were forced to move out of the military compound.

Everyone was shocked when they heard about this.

"Have you heard? Director Huo and his wife are moving out of the military compound because they want to have a second child."

"I heard that his employer has suspended him from his duties, which will have a huge impact on his future."

"Yes, how could they be so foolish as to have a second child at this time?"

"That's bad, we can't live in this military compound anymore."

At this time, the neighbors were all talking about it.

Those who used to dislike gentleness are now watching the show with amusement.

"How could Huo Tuan's wife, who is so capable, be so foolish? She was just relying on her husband's military achievements and acted with impunity. Did she not expect to ruin his future?"

Upon hearing the news, Fang Ting also ran out to see what was going on.

Hearing this, she chimed in, "Yeah, what are they afraid of when they're so rich? They were making a big splash before, they deserve it this time."

Hearing these voices, Wenrou's expression remained completely calm, without even the slightest change.

Wen Jinian came over to help move all the things to the house. Huo Yanchuan and he had already driven over to pack up. Wenrou took her two daughters upstairs to get the last few things before leaving.

As soon as she got downstairs, she heard Fang Ting's smug voice: "Wenrou, you really brought this on yourself. You had a perfectly good life in the military compound, but you had to secretly have a second child. Now look what happened, you've ruined your man's future too."

Even without looking at her, Wenrou could tell from her words how smug she was.

Fang Ting's husband, Huang Xiaojun, has been working in the logistics department for years since he was transferred there.

His own work ability is just so-so, and he hasn't had the opportunity to be promoted over the years.

"You don't think Huang Xiaojun can get in just because my husband left the operations department, do you? If he were capable, he wouldn't have been stuck in the logistics department for five years, would he?"

The gentle tone carried an undisguised sarcasm, and Fang Ting's expression changed drastically upon hearing it.

She originally intended to mock Wenrou, but instead, she was mocked in return.

After speaking gently, she didn't even glance at Fang Ting before leaving the military compound with her two daughters.

Wenrou is right. Even now that Huo Yanchuan has been suspended, Huang Xiaojun still has no chance to enter the operations department.

He was able to get in entirely because of Commander Tan's connections.

His personal abilities were limited to begin with, so it was already quite good that he was able to get into the logistics department.

But Fang Ting was not willing to give up. She had waited for so many years and finally waited until Huo Yanchuan left. Why didn't her husband have a chance?

That evening, she told Huang Xiaojun about it.

"The operations department isn't that easy to get into. With my abilities, I'm afraid it'll never be possible in this lifetime," Huang Xiaojun said in despair.

Over the years, he has seen things very clearly in the logistics department.

Huo Yanchuan was able to become the head of the operations department because of his decisive and ruthless abilities and the aura of a general he naturally possessed.

Although he is no longer in the military, the rich experience he has accumulated on the battlefield is something that others do not have.

Now the operations department is full of his people, and no one will disobey him.

Now that he's gone, the operations department is like a pile of loose sand.

He knew his own abilities; no team under Huo Yanchuan's command had ever failed.

What abilities does he have that compare to others?

Upon hearing his words, Fang Ting's pent-up anger erupted.

"What did you say? I didn't marry you to live a miserable life with you. If you don't apply for a transfer to the operations department tomorrow, I'm divorcing you."

She had been waiting for this day to finally be able to hold her head high for several years, during which time she had been suppressed by gentleness.

Now that she has finally managed to get Wenrou's family out of the military compound, she not only wants her husband to take the position that Huo Yanchuan previously held, but she also wants to move into the house that Wenrou's family used to live in.

"Fang Ting, are you crazy?" Huang Xiaojun shouted when he heard Fang Ting's words.

Fang Xinyou heard them arguing in the room, and her face couldn't help but show some panic.

Whenever Fang Ting gets angry, she takes it out on her.

Over the years, she has been constantly covered in new and old injuries.

From their argument, she learned that Wenrou's family had left the military compound. Since Jiang Yan went to university, they had hardly seen each other.

She could only see him during his winter and summer vacations.

Fang Xinyou had always been paying attention to Jiang Yan and had always taken him as her goal. She silently told herself that she must get into Peking University.

That way, she can go to the same university as Jiang Yan. I heard that Jiang Yan's major will probably lead to a master's and doctoral degree.

Once she gets into Peking University, she can become classmates with Jiang Yan.

Fang Xinyou is now in junior high school and has entered puberty, so of course she has someone she likes.

Before, she only admired Jiang Yan in her heart, but now that admiration has gradually turned into liking.

Jiang Yan no longer lives in the military compound, so she has even fewer chances to see him, which is what she cannot accept.

By this time, Fang Ting and Huang Xiaojun had finally finished arguing. Obviously, Fang Ting had lost the argument and could only vent her anger by smashing things.

Although she talked about getting a divorce, she was also worried and knew that Huang Xiaojun was the only person she could rely on now.

If they get divorced, she won't even be able to live in the military compound anymore.

But she was unwilling to be constantly suppressed by Wenrou.

Huang Xiaojun is disappointing, but she won't give up.

Fang Xinyou was doing her homework in her room when she heard Fang Ting angrily push open the door and walk in.

"What time is it? Why haven't you cooked yet? Do you want us to starve to death? I raised you and sent you to school, not so you could enjoy a life of luxury."

As Fang Ting spoke, she slapped him across the face.

Fang Xinyou's hair was disheveled from the beating, so she had no choice but to get up and quickly go to the kitchen.

She tidied her hair and cooked while crying.

She knew that if she wanted to continue her studies, she could only endure Fang Ting's beatings and scoldings.

Now is not the time. Once she is independent, she will definitely break free from Fang Ting's control.

Wenrou's family moved to the house she had bought before, which happened to be very close to Wen Shuzhen's house.

Previously, Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan had been living in the military compound because it was convenient for the children to go to school.

However, she would still bring the children to visit her great-aunt when she had time.

Although they have moved out of the military compound, the children can still continue to go to school.

After all, their great-grandfather still lives in the military compound, and with his connections, the school wouldn't allow the two children to transfer to another school.

Besides, Yun Shu and Yun Yao are both doing very well academically, bringing honor to the school, so the school leaders certainly don't want to let them leave.

The house had already been tidied up by Wenrou, and now all that's needed is to move all the belongings over.

She had actually wanted to stop living in the military compound a long time ago; the rooms were small, there were too many people, and it was noisy.

Not only that, but entry and exit are also very restricted, and there is nowhere for her car to park.

She was very satisfied with the house. She had it renovated again according to her preferred style, and now she felt incredibly relaxed and comfortable living here.

Perfect timing, she can stay here and focus on her pregnancy.

"Xiaorou, you're pregnant now, so try not to go to the transport team unless there's anything else going on. Just leave everything to me. You should stay home and rest and take care of your pregnancy," Wen Jinian said after helping her get ready.

Wenrou nodded gently, then, thinking of Tan Lin, she asked with concern, "What about Second Sister-in-law..."

She didn't know how to tell Tan Lin about her pregnancy, afraid that it would cause Tan Lin to overthink things.

Now that she has finally managed to shift her focus to work, Wenrou is also worried that the news of her pregnancy is affecting her.

After all, her second brother and sister-in-law had been trying to have a child for so many years without success, and she hadn't wanted one in the first place, but now she was unexpectedly pregnant.

"Don't worry, she's much better now. She'll be happy for you when she finds out you're pregnant," Wen Jinian said with a smile.

"Then I'm relieved."

As Wen Jinian was speaking, Tan Lin's voice came from outside.

"Xiaorou, congratulations!"

When Tan Lin heard the news that Wenrou was pregnant, she was genuinely happy for her.

Wenrou is family, and she herself can't have children, so she's happier than anyone else to hear that her family member is pregnant.

After all, welcoming a new life is something to celebrate, so she brought Wenrou a lot of nutritional supplements.

"You now have twins, so you need to take good care of your nutrition. I'll take care of all your nutritional supplements from now on."

As Tan Lin spoke, she happily helped Wenrou carry the things inside.

Wenrou is only a little over a month pregnant, but her family has already started to worry about her and won't let her do anything.

"You guys are being too anxious. I'm not that delicate. When I was pregnant with my two daughters, I could still work in the fields."

She looked at them gently, her face full of helplessness.

Besides, she's only been a little over a month and she's already become a key protected individual. How is she going to live from now on?

She doesn't want others to take care of her, and she's not used to it.

"Things are different now than before, especially the first three months. You have to be careful, don't end up like me, not even knowing I was pregnant, and then regretting it when I miscarried," Tan Lin advised.

She knew the helplessness and pain of wanting something but not being able to keep it, and she didn't want to experience that gently again.

"Linlin is right, we can't be careless," Wen Shuzhen added.

With the help of her family, Wenrou now doesn't have to do any chores at home. She just grows flowers and tends to plants every day, living a leisurely and comfortable life.

After Huo Yanchuan was suspended from his job, he simply stayed at home to take care of Wenrou and pick up and drop off their two children.

Occasionally, when the transport team needs his help, he will lend a hand.

Just over a month after Wenrou moved out, something happened at the military compound.

I heard that Fang Ting secretly followed Huang Xiaojun's unit leader in order to move into Wenrou's house in the military compound, and was arrested as a pervert.

When her boss's spouse found out, they came over and beat her up to vent their anger.

Huang Xiaojun is disgusted by her and wants a divorce, and their relationship is becoming increasingly strained.

Now the whole compound is laughing at Fang Ting for being brainless, making Fang Xinyou's life at Fang Ting's house even more difficult.

I heard that every night there are arguments coming from Fang Ting's house, as well as Fang Xinyou's screams of pain from being beaten.

Wenrou merely listened to it as idle gossip and chuckled softly.

I heard that Huang Xiaojun's application to join the Operations Department was rejected. The Operations Department is still waiting for Huo Yanchuan to return, and the position of director has been reserved for him. It's only a matter of time before he returns.
