Chapter 912: Let’s Have a Child
Here is the English translation:
"Why did you suddenly decide to pick me up today?" Bai Xiao hadn’t forgotten An Zhiyuan’s unusual behavior.
She could smell the faint, fresh trace of tobacco on him—it seemed he had just smoked.
"Today I received notice from the higher-ups. Starting today, I am officially transferred out. From now on, I’m a free man," his voice was deep and raspy, yet the news was shocking.
Bai Xiao grabbed his arm and excitedly asked him, "Really? From now on, you’re Manager An? That’s wonderful! I’m so happy for you—congratulations! You deserve this; it’s well-earned!" No one knew better than her that this promotion came at the cost of An Zhiyuan risking his life—it truly was earned through sheer determination.
"This honor also belongs to you. Had it not been for you, I might only have received this title posthumously—what meaning would it even have then?" He tightened his grip on his wife’s hand, the burning warmth making Bai Xiao’s cheeks flush.
She playfully grumbled at him, "We’re husband and wife. Do we really need to say these polite things? I don’t care about titles or honors—I just want you safe and by my side, so we can grow old together. What I don’t want is for you to leave me alone in this world, An Zhiyuan. You must remember, your life doesn’t belong solely to you—it belongs to both of us. I just want you to cherish yourself."
At the thought of possibly losing An Zhiyuan, Bai Xiao still felt a lingering unease.
