Qiao Nan could sense the change in Zhai Sheng’s tone. She held her breath.

After a long while, Qiao Nan finally said softly, “Brother Zhai, stay safe.”

“Nan Nan, you…” He wanted to ask whether she had any regrets.

“No.” There might be a slight moment of hesitation, but she had no regrets. Her father used to be a soldier. He would tell her about his army life and the missions that he carried out. Since a young age, she knew the dangers that a soldier had to face.

But the difference was that when her father told her about his army life, he was reminiscing about the days when he was in the army, and what happened was all in the past. But in the case of Brother Zhai, he was in the midst of carrying out the mission.

“Brother Zhai, you must be careful. When I am of legal age, you can submit your marriage report, and we will tell Auntie Miao about our relations.h.i.+p.” Given Zhai Sheng’s special occupation, Qiao Nan had the sudden urge to wait no more. She did not want to waste her time on unrelated people and complex human relations. She had decided to spend all the time that she had with Zhai Sheng.

Perhaps it was inauspicious to have such a thought, but Qiao Nan could not help but worry.

It took her two lifetimes to meet such a good man. If she was not able to get married to the man that she loved, she was too pathetic and pitiful.

“Alright.” This was something Zhai Sheng had been dying to hear from Qiao Nan, but he felt somewhat sad to hear it from her under such circ.u.mstances. He knew that Qiao Nan was betting her lifelong happiness on him. “Nan Nan, give me some time.”

“Brother Zhai, don’t be in a hurry. Take it slowly. We have all the time in the world. You can take your time. I believe in you.”

As Chief Zhai’s only son, it was impossible that Brother Zhai would be posted to the front line all the time and carry out extremely dangerous and life-threatening missions.

But even if Brother Zhai wanted to leave the front line, he would not be able to do so right now. It would not happen in a few years’ time.

Qiao Nan, who was well aware of this, was very worried. She was fearful that in order to make her feel at ease, Zhai Sheng would complete his missions ahead of time, disregarding his own safety and taking unnecessary risks.

She would rather be on tenterhooks for a few more years than for Brother Zhai to risk his life so that he could fulfill his promise to be with her as soon as possible.

“Alright.” Zhai Sheng understood Qiao Nan’s intentions and quickly discarded the idea that he had in mind. “Nan Nan, you have to be prepared.” If he was to be in the front line for the years to come, being Zhai Yaohui’s son, he might face more challenges and danger.

As a soldier, there was bound to be bloodshed and sacrifice. It was not easy to be a soldier’s wife.

“Brother Zhai, as long as you are willing, apart from being worried about you, I don’t have to prepare myself for such circ.u.mstances, do I?” Qiao Nan refused to submit to circ.u.mstances. She was not asking Brother Zhai to muddle through his work at the front line in order to stay safe, but at the very least, he could pay more attention to safety and watch out for danger. In that case, it would be less dangerous and risky. This was definitely what Brother Zhai was capable of.

On the contrary, if Brother Zhai had only one goal in mind, which was to complete the task that the country and the organization had entrusted him to the extent that he disregarded his own safety, there would only be one possibility.

Qiao Nan clutched her forehead in worry. Most of the times, these people would die in the front line.

“Yes.” Zhai Sheng gave a deep smile. “I know what you mean. I will pay attention to safety.”

“Alright, Brother Zhai, you just woke up today. You should have lots of rest. Get someone to help you back.” Qiao Nan was relieved that Zhai Sheng was willing to give her such a promise.

“Goodbye.”
