Chapter 43: About to Leave
"Son, how was it? Is there anything going on at your workplace?" Bai Yuhua was the first to speak when she saw Mu Qiancheng return.
Jiang Xue heard her mother-in-law speak but didn’t say anything. Instead, she looked at Mu Qiancheng and noticed his expression didn’t seem quite right.
"There’s a mission," Mu Qiancheng said, looking up at Jiang Xue, who was standing on the steps watching him. He couldn’t help but feel guilty.
Originally, he planned to stay a few more days this time to properly take care of Jiang Xue. But now, he had been back for less than a day and had to leave again, which made him feel he had let her down.
"When are you leaving?" Mu Siwu asked.
"I have to leave immediately."
"What, why so urgent?" Bai Yuhua was taken aback. She hadn’t prepared anything for her son, not even food for the journey.
"Yes, the mission is urgent, I must rush back as soon as possible."
"Alright, you serve the country, obeying orders comes first," Mu Siwu was reluctant to part with his son. However, he was a reasonable man, so despite his reluctance, he didn’t say much.
"Then have a good talk with Xue’er. I’ll go get you some food for the road." Bai Yuhua initially wanted to chat with her son, but seeing Jiang Xue standing by, she decided to give them the opportunity.
Now that the relationship between her son and daughter-in-law has finally improved, her son is about to leave again. Who knows when he will return, she worried that by the time her son returned, the relationship might have cooled down again.
