Chapter 444: Her Daughter Might Have a Big Problem

"Alright, got it. Hurry and get off the train!" Fu Mingxue tucked the train tickets into her pocket.

Qin Wenhao was genuinely reluctant to part. "Honey, call me when you get there. If I don’t pick up, just leave a message with the communications officer."

Fu Mingxue nodded. "Okay."

"I’m off, then. You all stay safe." Qin Wenhao was reluctant to leave, his eyes glued to her face.

If it weren’t for the people coming and going in the aisle, he would have loved to give his wife a hug.

They had been apart for so long, and besides holding each other in their sleep at night, they hadn’t shared any other intimate moments.

The reluctance in his eyes was so obvious that this time, Fu Mingxue finally felt it.

When their eyes met, she felt a stir in her heart.

"Don’t worry. We’ll be fine on the train. You need to be careful when you’re out on missions. Remember, you’re not just one person anymore. You have a wife and kids at home."

Hearing this, Qin Wenhao was overcome with emotion.

In that moment, he felt a sense of utter completion—his wife truly had him in her heart.

Especially when Fu Mingxue suddenly stepped forward and gave him a hug, Qin Wenhao froze solid.

He really hadn’t expected his wife to hug him at a time like this. "Th-There are people!"

Fu Mingxue quickly pulled away.

"You should get off the train now."

With that, she gave him a little push.

And so, Qin Wenhao stumbled off the train in a daze.

It wasn’t until the train started to pull away that he finally regained his muddled senses.

He remembered something—he hadn’t even said goodbye to his mother-in-law when he got off the train.

...

Meanwhile, the train was underway.

The twins were incredibly excited.

They were both pressed against the window, watching the scenery fly past.

Seeing how happy they were, Mrs. Fu let them be.

After all, the window wasn’t open, so it was perfectly safe.

However, she was curious about something else.

"Huh, this sleeper compartment is nice. It’s just our family in here, and no one else has boarded. Are the trains this empty nowadays?"

Hearing this, Fu Mingxue couldn’t help but think of the two extra train tickets she had already tucked away in her space.

’If Mom knew about this, she probably wouldn’t be in such a good mood anymore.’

She casually offered an excuse. "Maybe someone will get on at the next stop."

Mrs. Fu nodded. "I hope it’s not anyone difficult to get along with."

Of course, she would never have guessed that her dear son-in-law had wasted money on two extra tickets just to book the entire four-bunk compartment for them.

The twins’ attention spans were limited, and they grew bored after a while.

Fortunately, the two children weren’t the overly restless type.

They settled down quietly enough.

Seeing this, Fu Mingxue said, "Come, I’ll tell you a story."

She had been away on a business trip for three months, and she’d been busy with work ever since she returned.

She hadn’t had any time for proper bonding with them.

Now that she had the time, she decided to tell them stories to strengthen their mother-child bond.

The twins were naturally overjoyed to hear they were getting a story.

"We will now tell the story of Emperor Wen of Han personally tasting his mother’s medicine—"

Fu Mingxue began her story.

As Mrs. Fu listened, her head began to buzz, and she grew drowsy.

’Her daughter must have a screw loose.’

’Telling stories like this to a couple of two- and three-year-olds? Could they possibly understand? This was a real eye-opener, but for all the wrong reasons.’

’Her poor ears were suffering so much.’

The twins stared with wide, baffled eyes.

They didn’t understand a thing.

When their mother finally finished the story, Qin Keke piped up, "Mommy, when you get sick, my brother and I will do that too. Mommy, when are you going to get sick?"
