Chapter 1264 - 1283: Worry
"Wife, I miss you," Huo Beijiang suddenly subdued his emotions, his voice low and elegant, faintly carrying an urgency that made one’s heart tremble. "We’ve only been apart for two days, and I already miss you. I miss you so much..."
Heaven knew his anxiety, afraid the mission would take too long and delay too much time. He feared he might not live to return, to protect Nan Fei for a lifetime. He was even more afraid that during his absence, Nan Fei might not be well taken care of.
What he feared the most was that by the time he returned, Nan Fei might no longer be there...
Huo Beijiang closed his eyes, took a deep, suppressed breath, and hurriedly said, "Take good care of yourself, wait for me to come back..." After finishing his words, he hastily hung up the phone.
He was afraid that if he continued, his disguise would be seen through.
The atmosphere in the communication room was so oppressive that everyone breathed carefully, all ears pricked up to secretly pay attention to Major General Huo’s movements. However, he stood by the telephone for a long time without any disturbance.
The others were also on tenterhooks, waiting until Lu Jin came to fetch someone before they followed and left.
Once the footsteps had faded, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, some chests heaving violently from holding their breaths just before.
"I vaguely heard before that Major General Huo had gotten married, turns out it’s true."
"Ah~ Another top-quality man off the list."
"Yes! I didn’t expect Major General Huo and sister-in-law to have such a good relationship."
"I’ve always said that a man as outstanding and handsome as Major General Huo, if not married at all, once married, would definitely be a home-loving, wife-doting good man. Those who are less capable themselves are more likely to have lifestyle issues and be unfaithful to their marriage."
