The late stages of Gu Jia Ning’s pregnancy indeed made her more prone to drowsiness.
Especially after experiencing those events during the day, with her nerves on edge, it wasn’t until evening, when Xingxing and Sheng Zexi returned one after the other, that she felt a bit better.
With her mind easing up, it was easier to feel sleepy.
So, at this mont, Gu Jia Ning really couldn’t hold on any longer.
"Alright, I’ll leave Xingxing to you." After several attempts by Sheng Zexi to persuade her, Gu Jia Ning finally relented.
Gu Jia Ning was forcing herself to stay awake, and she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.
Sheng Zexi held Xingxing, walked over, and touched her forehead. Discovering she didn’t have a fever, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He covered her with a quilt.
Actually, he wasn’t just worried about Xingxing; he was concerned about her as well.
Today, the ones who were shocked weren’t just Xingxing; Ningning was frightened too.
Especially when she was pregnant.
How could this not make Sheng Zexi worry?
That’s why he was so anxious to get ho.
Thus, in the latter half of the night, Sheng Zexi, while holding Xingxing, soothed him and checked if his fever had gone down.
Simultaneously, he occasionally checked on Ningning and Yueyue’s situation.
Before he knew it, dawn arrived.
When Gu Jia Ning opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Xingxing lying on the bed.
She reached out to touch him; the little one finally didn’t have a fever and no longer had nightmares.
But...
Where was her Brother Xi?
Gu Jia Ning got out of bed, followed the sound, and saw the man’s back as he busily worked in the kitchen.
At that mont, for so reason, Gu Jia Ning’s eyes welled up with warmth.
She knew this man must have stayed up all night taking care of Xingxing.
Now that Xingxing was better, he was in the kitchen making food for the three of them.
How fortunate she was to have t Sheng Zexi.
She thought she had to love this man a little more.
-
After a night of Sheng Zexi’s care, Xingxing’s fever was completely gone by dayti.
Once the little one recovered, he beca more dependent and closer to his father.
Perhaps during his illness, in a haze, he realized he was in his father’s arms.
Before, Xingxing had always been reticent in his attitude towards Sheng Zexi, not being a child adept at expressing emotions.
And Sheng Zexi, he admitted, did treat his daughter and son differently.
With his daughter, he was indulgent and close.
While with his son, he emphasized education and seriousness.
This led to Xingxing not being very close to this father.
But after this incident and that night.
Xingxing seed to understand sothing; he realized that his father’s different approach to him and his sister was rely a disparity in educational thods.
However, his father’s love for him and Yueyue was the sa.
When he was in danger, his father also worried; when he was ill, his father stayed up all night to care for him, providing him with a sense of security.
Having understood this, Xingxing completely let go and beca much closer to his father Sheng Zexi.
Gu Jia Ning was happy to see this scene.
And with Xingxing’s recovery, their rewards also ca in.
First, it was the reward for Sheng Zexi.
"You, ah, are being credited with a great rit!" Chen Han said joyfully.
"Originally, you were to be promoted, but considering you will be transferred to the Beijing Military District soon and it hasn’t been many years since you were promoted to regint-level cadre."
"So, the promotion is anticipated to happen when you are transferred to the Beijing Military District."
Sheng Zexi nodded, quite satisfied with this reward.
Previously, Sheng Zexi might not have cared much about rewards or promotions.
Even if he cared a bit, it was only to prove himself.
But now, he increasingly realized that only a better and higher position could protect his family well.
Especially with Ningning having secrets.
He aid to reach a position where, even if Ningning’s secret was exposed, he would still have the ability to protect her.
So...
There was still a long road to go indeed.
But he would strive for it!
"Right, there was also an original plan to reward you with so bonuses, not just for you but for Xingxing and Yueyue as well, just..."
"Due to a tight budget, there was only the option of choosing between land or houses."
"These are several pieces of land and property options, either in Hucheng or Beijing; you can take them back and let your son and daughter choose one each."
Chen Han handed Sheng Zexi a map with several places circled on it.
Sheng Zexi raised his eyebrows and accepted it.
He thought this was great because he rembered how Ningning favored land and property more than money.
"By the way, in terms of this incident, there will be a ceremony to award you, Xingxing, Yueyue, and Lei Ting, Hong Ying, and everyone else involved. Your family is the most crucial, so you must bring them along then."
"Alright," Sheng Zexi agreed.
"And one more thing..." Chen Han paused and said, "Ze Xi, have you thought about whether Amber’s pups could potentially serve as military dogs?"
Sheng Zexi remained silent, looking at him.
"In this case, we witnessed the performance of those dogs, and they were really amazing; they are too well-suited to beco military dogs."
"Really, it would be a real pity if they didn’t beco military dogs."
"If they beco military dogs, I can assure you their performance will be outstanding in the future."
"You don’t know how many soldiers in our military district are envious of Lei Ting and the others."
Sheng Zexi pursed his lips, "I’m not sure about this. I need to go back and ask them."
"Sure, sure, go ask, go ask, I’ll wait for your response."
-
So, that evening, after dinner, Sheng Zexi inford Gu Jia Ning of this matter.
Gu Jia Ning thought for a mont, "I can’t decide this matter on my own; I need to ask Amber and her pups."
Gu Jia Ning was not the kind of person who liked to impose on others, even if the others were dogs.
Everyone’s wishes are what matter the most.
"Alright, then you go ask them."
So, Gu Jia Ning went out to the yard.
In the yard, Amber along with her four pups had just finished their al.
Seeing Gu Jia Ning wave them over, Amber led her children over.
"Sister, is there sothing up?" Amber asked.
"Yes, indeed there is!"
Gu Jia Ning explained the military district’s invitation for Lei Ting and the four puppies to beco military dogs.
"...This matter depends on your own intentions; neither Brother Xi nor I will force it."
"Even if they don’t beco military dogs, our family living together like this is also wonderful."
Lei Ting, Hong Ying, and the other pups beca a little restless at the news of the military district inviting them to beco military dogs.
"Quiet!" Amber scolded.
The puppies imdiately quieted down.
Amber looked at Gu Jia Ning, "Sister, give us a night to think about it, and I will tell you the answer tomorrow, okay?"
"Of course." Gu Jia Ning stroked Amber’s fur, "No matter what decision you all make in the end, I will support it."
"Yes." Amber nodded.
