Bai Yaoyao's hands were coated with flour, which had gotten all over Duan Yanhao when she hugged him.

Although Duan Yanhao was a soldier, he valued cleanliness a lot. However, he did not mind the flour getting on his clothes and happily hugged Bai Yaoyao.

It was her first time taking the initiative to hug him, which caused Duan Yanhao's heart to turn soft. He would willingly indulge her with all his heart.

He was also willing to soothe the pain and scars in her heart.

At that moment, a thought came to Bai Yaoyao's mind—she would never leave Duan Yanhao.

For Duan Yanhao's sake, she will work really, really hard. Since she chose to join the army, she was willing to work hard to become the best female recruit, join the special forces, and go to all the dangerous missions. She wanted to stand tall, so she would be worthy to stay by Duan Yanhao's side. By then, no one would surely object to their relations.h.i.+p!

In the army today, military merits would allow a person to rise up the ranks quickly.

She thought that since this was her dream to begin with, it was her responsibility to work hard to achieve her dreams and protect everyone. She did not care even if she had to sacrifice herself for this.

However, if in the process of working hard, she managed to grow and live on, she would definitely want to be together with the person who loves and dotes on her.

The saying 'a soldier that does not want to be a general is not a good soldier' was true.

While they were having dinner, Duan Yanhao kept complimenting Bai Yaoyao for the delicious dumplings she made.

Bai Yaoyao's heart felt really sweet from his words. She smiled and said, "You're just biased. Just because I made them, you think they're delicious. The first time I tried the dumplings you made, I also thought they were the most delicious dumplings in the world. I thought that it was really precious back then, so I treasured it a lot."

"No, I'm not biased. Your dishes are delicious because you put all your heart into them."

"You're usually not good with sweet-talk, but you're doing well today."

"It's the truth."

Bai Yaoyao happily picked up a dumpling and placed it in Duan Yanhao's mouth. "If you continue talking like this, I will feel as if I'm drizzled all over with honey."

It had been a long time since Duan Yanhao saw such a genuine smile on Bai Yaoyao's face. Because of this, he felt more relaxed. Also, he realized one thing—women liked to hear your true thoughts.

After dinner, Bai Yaoyao gave Yun Bixue a call.

…

Meanwhile, in Country A, Yun Bixue was sitting on the heated bed and reading a book quietly.

As for Xie Limo, he was busying himself. He would get Yun Bixue a cup of warm milk, then he would bring a peeled apple for her to eat. He would even ma.s.sage her arms, afraid that she would be tired…

Yun Bixue never imagined that Xie Limo could be this nervous.

"Limo, I'm just reading a book. You don't have to make yourself so busy." She felt that Xie Limo could not stay calm ever since Ling Nanchen took her pulse.

His vision and thoughts were all on her now.

"Xue, you have to take care of your body. I've read that women are the most delicate during their first three months of pregnancy, so you must always be comfortable and at ease. You should never be angry or tired…"

Yun Bixue immediately waved her hand and said, "Okay, enough. Limo, if you continue saying that, I will definitely get a headache."

Yun Bixue felt that it would be alright to just let things take its natural course. Furthermore, it was not possible to examine her body now. She knew her own body the best, so there was no need for him to be so nervous.

"Xue, listen to me…"

Yun Bixue immediately covered her ears. She did not want to hear him chanting on and on anymore.

"Limo, you're almost turning into Tang Seng. Seriously, I'm not lying to you. You're bullying me if you do this. I'm going to tell mother when she comes."
