This war lasted for two months.
The entire nation was shaken, forcing many to acknowledge the commander of the three armies, while many could only swallow their impeachment remarks.
And during the two months, many in the capital city went from impeachment and refutation to silence, which many citizens found quite amusing.
How satisfying the impeachment was before, how embarrassed they were now, each one had to tread carefully.
A few days later.
Mu Hanqi stared blankly at the door. By the time the food in front of her had gone cold, she finally came to her senses, finding it as tasteless as chewing wax.
Ye Longlin had left in the late winter, and now spring had long since arrived. Aside from the victorious reports that came in, there was no other news. In these two months, he hadn't sent her any messages.
Although she understood, she still had some complaints about not receiving any news after such a long absence. After all, these things were not something she could control, and all she could do was wait.
Since he left, she slept and woke up in fear every day, afraid that one day she would wake up to hear of his demise, afraid that one day she would see a group of people standing at her doorstep.
He dared not imagine such a scene, nor could he imagine what his state of mind would be when facing such a situation.
"Don't worry too much. All the reports coming in are victorious, and there are even news of the troops returning to the capital. They should be back before long."
Lin Tian'ai said softly, sighing. Mu Hanqi was worried about his safety, and wasn't she worried about his safety as well?
But in front of Mu Hanqi, she couldn't show such feelings.
After all, she was already a thing of the past, and what's more, she was the one who had lost him. So, she couldn't say anything.
"I was afraid he'd die on the battlefield before, and now I'm afraid he'll come back with broken hands and feet. Tian'ai, I suddenly feel so sad. Is it true that military families have to bear everything when they fall in love with someone like him?"
Mu Hanqi considered this question seriously for the first time, and thought about such matters for the first time.
Lin Tian'ai was silent for a moment: "Military families, of course, have to bear all of this. Not just you, but millions of soldiers in Great Xia, and millions of families are worried about their safety. They are all husbands, sons, and fathers. Everyone worries about them, not just you."
"Creak—"
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
Ye Longlin, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, had a smile on his lips: "So, if you can't bear it, you have to leave?"
Mu Hanqi suddenly looked up, staring blankly at Ye Longlin, let out a scream, and then, like a swallow, rushed over, jumping directly into Ye Longlin's arms. Her legs wrapped around his waist, and her jade arms tightly clasped his neck, tears falling silently.
"I won't, I won't leave, I won't leave even if I'm beaten to death."
Seeing Ye Longlin return, Lin Tian'ai shrugged: "Since you're back, I'll be going then."
Ye Longlin nodded slightly: "Thank you for your trouble."
Lin Tian'ai could only force a bitter smile. She understood Ye Longlin's meaning. During this time, Lin Tian'ai had basically been here, accompanying Mu Hanqi. Now that Ye Longlin was back, she naturally couldn't stay here anymore.
Moreover, she was afraid that Mu Hanqi would notice her feelings, and then they wouldn't even be able to be friends.
Even though Mu Hanqi knew she still liked Ye Longlin, it had been a long time since they last met, and she should have moved on by now.
After Lin Tian'ai left, Mu Hanqi had also finished crying. She bumped her forehead against Ye Longlin's forehead, her voice choked with sobs: "You came back without announcing it? Why didn't you send any news?"
Ye Longlin chuckled: "Isn't there a crybaby at home who always cries? Besides, I've attended countless celebration ceremonies, and there's nothing new about them. It's better to come back and see my beautiful wife."
Mu Hanqi's voice was still choked with sobs. After getting out of his embrace, her face turned red. Sensing his abnormality, she glared at him, closed and locked the door, and pulled him into the room.
"Take off your clothes!" Mu Hanqi said with no room for doubt.
Ye Longlin looked bewildered. It seemed inappropriate to do that in broad daylight.
Seeing that he didn't move, Mu Hanqi directly went up and stripped his clothes.
"Take off your pants too!"
Ye Longlin: "..."
Is she that impatient? Can't she wait until tonight?
"What are you doing? We have things to do later. Let's wait until night, cough, cough, is that okay for tonight?"
Mu Hanqi: "..."
"What are you thinking about all day? Let me see if you're injured!"
Ye Longlin: "..."
Looking at Ye Longlin's eight-pack abs and mermaid line physique, Mu Hanqi couldn't help but swallow. She had to admit that Ye Longlin's body was really attractive. Although he didn't look very muscular, once he took off his clothes, he was well-built, with both muscle and abs.
"One, two, three..."
Mu Hanqi looked at the new wounds on his body, and tears welled up in her eyes again, falling onto the ground.
"Ye Longlin, I'll never hand you over to the country again, sob sob, does it hurt?"
This expedition had resulted in fewer injuries than usual, but there was still a wound on his waist, extending from his left hip to his right waist, over thirty centimeters long, a sight that made one's scalp tingle.
Mu Hanqi felt heartbroken. This was her man, if she didn't care, who would?
"It's nothing, it's all superficial wounds. I can still exercise. Do you want to try?"
"Get lost!"
After tidying up, Mu Hanqi wanted to cling to him, not going anywhere.
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
They weren't even married yet.
"Marshal Ye, you ran away during the celebration ceremony, but you can't run away now, hahaha!"
"General Lin is right. Marshal Ye, you don't even attend the celebration ceremony and come back to accompany your little wife, tsk tsk. The Second Elder said you're henpecked, and I didn't believe it. Now I do!"
Outside the door, a group of people appeared, each holding wine in their hands.
Upon seeing them, Mu Hanqi's expression instantly turned grim. She stood up, pointed at their noses, and said, "I'm telling you all, don't come to my 'wood' to drink anymore! Don't you remember what happened last time?
Besides, my 'wood' just came back and he's still injured. How can you let him drink? I don't agree. From now on, if anyone comes to our house to invite him for a drink, you all don't have to come anymore. I don't welcome you! If you want to drink something else, I can go out and buy it for you."
Everyone: "..."
Ye Longlin mumbled from behind: "Drinking a little less won't hurt."
Mu Hanqi turned back, her face stern, and said, "No drinking!"
