Without Cheng Su needing to say it, Qi Taiguo also felt that his life was full of blessings. His military rank was deputy battalion commander, and if he was lucky, with enough military achievents, he could climb higher in the future.
His career was going smoothly, the future looked bright, and at ho, his wife was also doing well in her career. The family didn’t worry about food and drink, at least they weren’t calculating how to make ends et every day like other families, nor were they arguing over money.
Nowadays, they even had a son, ensuring the family line wouldn’t end. He didn’t have to worry about not having anyone to honor him in case sothing happened to him on a mission.
As for his hotown, his parents were alive and young, his brother was promising, and while his two sisters weren’t doing particularly smoothly, they weren’t doing too badly either.
So, Qi Taiguo had no reason not to feel proud and ambitious. He didn’t dream of rising teorically, but he was willing to fight and work hard, provided he had no worries holding him back, allowing him to move forward confidently.
And having a wife who didn’t hold him back but instead provided support and connections, wasn’t this his blessing? If it wasn’t his ancestors watching over him, then what was it?
In private, Qi Taiguo even felt he had incredibly good luck, considering he was just a kid from the countryside, and nowadays, many things required connections and favors.
Qi Taiguo held Cheng Su’s hand tightly as they walked, saying, "All these years, it’s been you managing everything behind the scenes for so I could succeed easily. Wife, I’m truly grateful to you, and I’m lucky I didn’t throw a tantrum and reject this marriage back then. I’m thankful you didn’t get scared away by ."
Cheng Su replied, "Maybe it’s because of the original owner!"
It was because the original owner was infatuated with Qi Taiguo that she would co here and beco her.
Qi Taiguo stopped and shook his head, saying, "No, it’s precisely because you ca that you weren’t scared away because your heart is strong enough. If it were her, I don’t know if we could have made it this far. Probably we would have divorced long ago!"
The forr Cheng Su was hot-tempered, immature, possessive, and jealous. Qi Taiguo himself was a male chauvinist. How could he be willing to be controlled by her? If both were strong-willed, could they really live together?
He understood the concept of using softness to overco hardness, and Cheng Su did it well. She knew boundaries and had tactics. He was willing to be completely under her spell, but with soone else, would he be the sa?
Cheng Su said nothing.
"So, I’m grateful it’s you and thankful it’s you." Qi Taiguo placed his hands on her shoulders, saying, "Cheng Su, thank you for coming into my life."
Cheng Su’s heart felt a pang of emotion and she gave him a playful punch on the chest, saying, "Did you do sothing guilty? You’re suddenly so sentintal, it’s making uncomfortable."
Qi Taiguo chuckled, pulling her into his arms. His nose caught the milky fragrance from her body, making him feel content. He said, "The only thing I’m guilty of is not treating you well enough before. I just hope we last long together."
Cheng Su held onto his waist, saying, "I’ve grown this fat now, don’t you mind?"
"Nonsense, it’s just right." Qi Taiguo pinched her plump butt, saying, "The feel is good, I won’t get tired of it after a lifeti."
"Annoying!" Cheng Su pushed him away, feigning annoyance.
Qi Taiguo laughed again, taking her hand once more as they walked affectionately in the courtyard. A cool breeze blew, carrying the scent of soone’s Scented Pelargonium, fresh and invigorating, making them feel utterly content.
