"You’re awake, you’re awake, you finally woke up, you scared your mom to death." The councilman’s wife sat by the bedside, seeing Ji Lingkong open his eyes, she was both surprised and delighted, unable to hold back her tears.

"Mom, I’m fine, don’t worry." Ji Lingkong’s head still ached slightly, feeling utterly exhausted and weak. After all, he had been in a coma for a long time, inhaling quite a bit of toxic gas after the crash, causing significant damage to him.

He just thought he was done for this time.

Escaping from the blazing wreckage exhausted him completely. Crawling to the riverbank felt like using up all his life’s strength.

Moreover, his wound was bleeding continuously, in such a war-torn, desolate place that was under rebel control. If they didn’t find him, he would die for sure, but if they did, he’d probably die even quicker.

What’s more, this crash wasn’t just a simple shoot-down; there was a lot of inside information, maybe even a conspiracy.

Someone obviously wanted him dead!

Then how could they send people to search and rescue him?

If they just left him to fend for himself for two or three days, he would certainly die there, clean and swift, without anyone needing to get their hands dirty!

So, at that time, he was fully aware and understood that his chances of survival were slim.

But now that he woke up, lying on a warm bed, he was still alive!

Ji Lingkong’s misty eyes softened involuntarily, a warmth surging in his heart. Who had saved him, pulling him from that dangerous hell back to safety?

"You say you’re fine, but you almost lost your life. I knew I shouldn’t have let you join the army in Yalan Country. What was your dad thinking, always sending the kids to the most dangerous places? Does he want us to lose a second child?" The councilman’s wife was filled with dissatisfaction toward her husband.

"Mom, don’t blame him, it was my decision to come and challenge myself. As the heir of the Helian Family, I can’t lead a mediocre life and let others laugh at the whole family. Naturally, I must achieve something."

The councilman’s wife snorted, "I don’t care about achievements or anything; all I know is that it’s dangerous for you, and I can’t bear these things."

Ling Yun had already died in a mission.

She had finally gotten this new son, and she could not let him follow Ling Yun’s path. All the military achievements and promotions, all the family honor; those things men think about, she didn’t want to consider at all.

What good is politics? Their men only know about careers and feats, while she simply wishes her son could live steadily and healthily, with a happy and fulfilling family life, without any more dangers.

She doesn’t wish for Lingkong to become another prominent figure like her husband. It seems he gains a lot, but loses a lot too. Can’t they just lead a simple life, happily like a regular family?

Family is the most important thing, isn’t it?

Yes, family.

Lingkong should settle down and start a family early, with a lovely wife and children around him, so he wouldn’t risk his life so easily.

Marriage, yes, once married, there’ll be ties. It’s a perfect way to make him give up the military path.

Isn’t there already a suitable candidate? Duke Lie’s daughter, Lie Fengzi. She herself is quite satisfied with the girl, after all, her family background, status, and appearance are impeccable, definitely a top choice.

However, she was always conflicted because although Lie Fengzi is a duchess’s daughter, Fengzi’s mother rose to her position through bearing a child, and her status back then wasn’t something to be proud of. Later, she remarried Governor Yun.
