Those eyes, like deep pools, carried a trace of ambiguous mystery, yet reflected the little image of the girl.

Watching his little wife’s grape-like big eyes blinking in confusion, Mu Xingfeng smiled slightly and pulled her into a hug, placing her on the desk, "Wife, I love you."

An Ran curved her lips, her eyebrows arching, and her crescent moon-like eyes shone with happiness, "Husband, I love you too."

Unable to hide his good mood, Mu Xingfeng chuckled softly, sat in the chair, and pulled An Zai onto his lap, "Husband wants to show you something."

Speaking, he handed the box in his hand to An Ran.

Two boxes, a rectangular velvet box, and a smaller red velvet box.

An Ran looked at him in confusion; these boxes were obviously not jewelry boxes. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Open and see," Mu Xingfeng took the red box away, lifted his chin slightly, indicating she should open the box in her hand.

An Ran carefully opened the box, inside was a pair of shoulder badges and a service ribbon.

The shoulder badge had a star, the service ribbon consisted of four rows, though she didn’t understand them, it was obvious the rank was not insignificant.

Seeing the little one’s baffled expression, Mu Xingfeng kissed her fair cheek, "No need to look, this belongs to your husband. I earned a first-class merit in the last capture operation, this is the medal of honor," he said, opening the red box in his hand to show her, continuing, "Those two are the awarded accomplishments and rank, but due to special circumstances during this time, I still can’t wear these in the Nan’an Guard Team..."

An Ran suddenly lifted her head, her dark eyes filled with admiration, almost starry-eyed, "Husband, are you the Chief Guard now?"

Interrupted, Mu Xingfeng gave a helpless yet indulgent smile, "Yes, husband is the Chief Guard."

Perhaps this girl only heard the first half, she didn’t catch what he said afterward, but he truly enjoyed the worshipful gaze of this young girl; this feeling was even happier than when he first received the first-class merit commendation.

"Husband, you’re amazing, I want to reward you."

At this moment, An Ran understood what madness Mu Xingfeng was exhibiting since coming back. She knew what these honors and shoulder badges meant to a guard.

This is the nation’s acknowledgment, something earned with their lives and sweat.

"Alright, what is the husband’s reward?" Mu Xingfeng smilingly awaited his reward.

An Ran reached out to wrap her arms around his neck, smiling sweetly...

"Lifang, why haven’t you finished gathering those clothes yet? Go make dinner," Li Dajun came out of the study to find Sun Lifang standing on the balcony, one hand pulling at clothes, seemingly reluctant to finish the task, her neck stretched, eyes gazing afar.

"What are you looking at now?"

Aware of his wife’s habits, Li Dajun muttered, stepping forward to help gather the clothes.

"Dajun, look ahead, the house of Captain Mu, those two are too careless, you didn’t see it earlier, Captain Mu embracing his wife... tsk tsk tsk..."

Sun Lifang clicked her tongue, a difficult to express look on her face, yet her eyes still fixed ahead.

Li Dajun saw her action and chuckled lowly, "Captain Mu’s wife rarely visits the Guard Team, the couple is more apart than together, seeing his wife, of course, he couldn’t hold back. What’s wrong with being a bit passionate? Didn’t I also get passionate with you a while ago?"

"Go away," Sun Lifang playfully pinched Li Dajun, causing him to laugh heartily.

Thinking of that afternoon from the other day, despite being married to Li Dajun for so many years, Sun Lifang still blushed.

Back then she thought Li Dajun was really unwell, suspected he had a high fever.

Only upon arriving home did she discover this guy had been drugged.

And from that day onwards, her man seemed enlightened, acting much gentler during those moments, their relationship sweet as honey.

If he saw her taking her time with laundry before, he’d grumble a bit, never would he have helped with the clothes?

"Dajun, I heard the transfer order will come down next month, during the exercise, the officers praised you at the Guard Team conference, does this mean you have hope this time?"

Sun Lifang said, retracting her gaze from the couple that left the study, addressing Li Dajun seated on the sofa watching military channels.

"Why are you worrying about these things as a woman? You’ll know when the transfer order comes down, won’t you?"

Li Dajun switched channels, speaking indifferently.

"Of course, I’m worried. Look at your age already, in terms of service, you’re high up. Your time at the Nan’an Guard Team is lengthy, yet the more it is, the fewer chances for transfer. The others said if you don’t move soon, you might directly retire."
