The newly married reborn cold-faced boss dotes on his delicate wife

Jiang Tingxia disappeared, and Li Changpu got up in a hurry and ran out without even putting on his shoes.

It was not until he saw Jiang Tingxia curled up on the sofa in the living room that Li Changpu stopped his hurried steps and exhaled a breath. Only then did he realize that the clothes on his back were stuck to his body. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

He calmed himself down, slowly walked to Jiang Tingxia and squatted down.

Li Changpu was still flustered, but facing Jiang Tingxia who was in such a bad state, he didn't dare to show any other emotions. He tried his best to pretend that nothing happened and asked calmly: "Tingxia, what's wrong with you? Why are you sitting here alone?"

Hearing Li Changpu's voice, Jiang Tingxia buried his head between his knees and did not look up at him.

Li Changpu reached out to hug the curled-up Jiang Tingxia in his arms, but Jiang Tingxia dodged backwards.

Li Changpu noticed Jiang Tingxia's resistance and felt anxious, but had to hold it back. However, his voice still sounded a little uneasy.

"What exactly is going on?"

Li Changpu squatted in front of Jiang Tingxia, feeling helpless.

"Why are you so strange to me? It seems like you are avoiding me and don't want to contact me?"

"Ting Xia, did I do something wrong? Did I make you unhappy? Tell me, okay?"

Li Changpu gently shook Jiang Tingxia's shoulder, "Or, did I say something wrong?"

He tried hard to recall whether there was anything unusual in his contact with Jiang Tingxia over the past two days. Suddenly, Li Changpu guessed something.

"Is it because of what I said before I went to bed last night about finding a doctor to treat you?"

Li Changpu heard Jiang Tingxia sobbing softly, and his heart felt like it was pierced by a needle. He asked, "You don't want to?"

Jiang Tingxia had been hiding out and crying for a while. She didn't expect that in the middle of the night, Li Changpu would find out that she was gone and chase her out. She didn't want him to know that she was crying like this.

Hearing Li Changpu say this, he had already guessed the reason why she was in a bad mood. Jiang Tingxia couldn't hide it either. Her throat was blocked and she choked and said, "Don't I look ugly now?"

Jiang Tingxia's voice was very soft, suppressed and hoarse, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting Li Changpu's heart, shaking his heart and making him tremble. Before he could recover, Li Changpu heard Jiang Tingxia's crying voice again.

"I asked you, and you said you didn't care."

In the darkness, only human figures could be barely seen in the room. Jiang Tingxia was crying sadly, his shoulders trembling, and Li Changpu was feeling suffocating pain. Only then did he realize what he had done wrong.

Between the two of them, the one who cared about the scar on Jiang Tingxia's face was not him, but Jiang Tingxia herself. From the beginning to the end, she could not accept the fact that her face was ruined.

Li Changpu never mentioned what happened that night again, and later he never mentioned the treatment for her face in front of Jiang Tingxia again.

Jiang Tingxia also noticed that Li Changpu's attitude towards her had become cautious. She didn't know what was wrong. When she heard Li Changpu say that her face could definitely be cured, she couldn't control her emotions. It's not that she doubted Li Changpu's feelings for her, but she just didn't have the confidence.

Did she have no confidence in Li Changpu or herself? Jiang Tingxia herself didn't know.

From then on, the injury on her face became a topic that the two of them dared not touch. They avoided it intentionally or unintentionally and no one mentioned it again.

On this day, Jiang Tingxia was resting at home when she heard a knock on the door. She felt strange because she didn't have many friends here. Li Changpu would not knock on the door when he came home. Jiang Tingxia was most afraid of meeting strangers now, so he seldom brought colleagues and comrades home. The two of them lived together with the door closed, very quiet. She didn't know who would be knocking on the door.

Jiang Tingxia opened the door and saw He Zhihai and Nan Fang standing outside.

"Commander He, sister-in-law, why are you here? Come in and sit down."

The two of them came in and Jiang Tingxia poured tea for them.

Nan Fang's eyes were filled with heartache when she saw Jiang Tingxia. She was such a pretty girl, but now she has become like this. She is no longer as lively and talkative as before, but has become much quieter. She feels sad.

Seeing that He Zhihai and Nan Fang seemed to have something to say, Jiang Tingxia thought it was something important, so she wanted to call Li Changpu and ask him to go home, but He Zhihai reached out to stop her.

"Don't call him. I just chose a time when he's not at home to come and see you."

Jiang Tingxia sat back on the sofa, not knowing what He Zhihai wanted to talk to her about.

He Zhihai had a gloomy expression on his face. "I don't know what happened in your family, but I think you and your wife must think carefully about such a big thing as resigning."

Jiang Tingxia was horrified, "Resign!"

"You don't know?" He Zhihai continued, "Chang Pu found me and said he wanted to quit his job in the army and change his job."

Jiang Tingxia didn't understand what happened for a moment and was very surprised by the news. "He didn't tell me about this."

He Zhihai looked serious, "I have talked to Chang Pu several times, and he has always been very persistent."

"In fact, he is doing very well in the army now. After successfully completing this mission, he will be promoted further. The organization and I personally have high hopes for him. He has a bright future. I have told him all this, but Changpu is determined to transfer to civilian work. I think he wants to have more time to take care of you and the children."

Nan Fang guessed, "I think the things that happened some time ago were too much of a blow to Xiao Li and affected him, which made him want to focus on his family."

Thinking of what Li Changpu and Jiang Tingxia had gone through over the years, escaping death and enduring all kinds of hardships, the three people present were silent for a moment.

He Zhihai looked at Jiang Tingxia and said, "I see you don't know that he wants to resign. Maybe you are the only one who can persuade him."

After He Zhihai and the others left, Jiang Tingxia felt confused. She didn't know why Li Changpu had such a plan. He had not always been so passionate about his career. Li Changpu had been seriously injured several times before. She had also suggested that he change to a stable job and not work so hard. At that time, he firmly disagreed. Jiang Tingxia knew that Li Changpu regarded staying in the army as more important than anything else.

It was already very late when Li Changpu got home from get off work. Jiang Tingxia had been waiting for him and took his briefcase and put it aside.

Li Changpu walked into the house and said, "I've been busy lately and I don't even know when I'll get home. Don't wait for me. If you're sleepy, go to bed first."

Jiang Tingxia thought about how Li Changpu had told her before that the work he was doing was in the final stage and he would be a little busy recently, and he was afraid that he would not have much time to accompany her. He also said that he would be able to spend more time with her after he was done with this busy period.

Jiang Tingxia didn't think much about it at the time. She just thought that Li Changpu's mission at the base was about to be completed. When He Zhihai came in the afternoon, she realized that Li Changpu actually planned to resign.

Jiang Tingxia reached out and grabbed Li Changpu's arm, "I have something to ask you."

Li Changpu was surprised that Jiang Tingxia took the initiative to approach him. His eyes lit up and he held her hand back, "You say."

Jiang Tingxia looked anxious and asked, "I heard from Chief He that you want to transfer to civilian work?"

Li Changpu thought for a moment, "You know."

It seems that he really thinks so. Jiang Tingxia asked him, "Why? Why did you suddenly make this decision?"

Li Changpu pressed Jiang Tingxia's shoulders and asked her to sit on the sofa. He squatted down, looked into Jiang Tingxia's eyes, and was silent for a long time.

He licked his dry lips and his Adam's apple moved as if he was a little nervous.

"Ting Xia, there's something weighing on my mind, and I don't know how to tell you."

Li Changpu's eyes darkened. "Back then, you and I were plotted against. I fell into Mo Yunyang's trap and was controlled by them. They wanted me to hand over the core secrets of Mission 723 so that you would have a chance to survive, but I... didn't do that."

"I really can't do it."

Li Changpu paused, as if he had difficulty speaking, and even his usually straight back slumped a little.

"I...left you behind, Tingxia."

He spoke in a low voice, mumbling to himself, "How could I abandon you?"

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

Jiang Tingxia was shocked. She didn't expect that Li Changpu was still brooding over what happened in the past. "You resigned because of this. You feel sorry for me, so you blame yourself."

She placed her hand on Li Changpu's face, her eyes sincere and without any falsehood, "I don't blame you."

"You have your duties."

Li Changpu couldn't let it go, "I know you won't blame me, but I can't forgive myself."

Therefore, after Li Changpu thought that Jiang Tingxia had been executed by firing squad, he was so determined to kill himself immediately. Not only was he desperate for losing Jiang Tingxia, but Mo Yunyang denounced his love for Jiang Tingxia as worthless before his death. How could Li Changpu not hate himself? He hated his incompetence and also hated himself for abandoning Jiang Tingxia.

Li Changpu held Jiang Tingxia's hand and held it in his palm sincerely, "From now on, no one and nothing in this world will come before you. You are the number one in my heart."
