Chapter 1419: Chapter 1438: A Bit Silly

Huo Beijiang was smiling somewhat foolishly at this moment, his deep eyes seemingly filled with twinkling stars, sparkling beautifully. His wife really did love him—see? He had only left for a bit, and already she was missing him to the point of being unbearable!

"Wife," he murmured in a low and sexy voice, "wait for me obediently at home. When I return, I’ll take good care of you..." The last few words were spoken in an extremely soft voice, yet they made Nan Fei’s cheeks burn red with intensity.

She nearly lost her grip on the microphone in her hand and almost threw the phone away.

"What...what are you talking about?" Nan Fei said, both embarrassed and irritated.

"I miss my wife; can’t I say that?"

"It’s not that... This is a military line, you know it’s going to be recorded, right?" She only learned about such circumstances after entering the military academy. Special lines like this one would definitely be recorded.

Oh my God!

Unable to stand it, Nan Fei rubbed her burning cheeks, feeling like she would never be able to face anyone again.

So embarrassing.

Huo Beijiang’s handsome face darkened for a moment, not because he found it embarrassing; given his thick skin, he didn’t consider this to be anything shameful. On the contrary, he was rather pleased. He had a loving relationship with his wife—what did it have to do with those single men?

What he did feel was that it wasn’t fair for others to eavesdrop and take advantage.

So Huo Beijiang warned, "Those who are eavesdropping now, be careful. You dare to listen in on a couple’s sweet nothings—do you have no shame?"

No sooner had his words fallen than a scuffling static noise came through the phone, then quickly disappeared.

"Alright, wife, no one is eavesdropping now."

Nan Fei covered her face, why did she feel even more embarrassed now?

"When will you be able to complete your mission and come back?" Nan Fei decided to change the subject, "Don’t you dare brush me off." She could forgive Bei Jiang for hiding his illness to not worry her; that was a kind lie.

She could pretend not to know, but she absolutely couldn’t tolerate being kept in the dark about other things.

"I..." Huo Beijiang hesitated for a moment. He really wanted to tell his wife that he would be able to return soon, but after a split second of hesitation, he decided to tell the truth. "I don’t know the exact timing yet, it may take around a year."

Kaka’s situation is very bad; he can’t leave, and the mission given by the organization hasn’t been completed yet. He is not only representing himself in Kannaya, but also the interests of the entire country and its influence on international affairs.

He simply can’t just pack up and leave without a care.

Ever since Lei Hao came with Owl Dragon to be his deputy, he knew how important this mission was.

Huo Beijiang rubbed his brows irritably and apologized in an extremely serious tone, "I am sorry, Nan Fei! I am not a good man, nor a good husband." At a time when his wife’s health was poor and she could be in danger at any moment, he was unable to be by her side.

He couldn’t even manage a simple phone call to check on her.

The always confident and strong Huo Bei, at this moment, was overwhelmed by boundless guilt. Since the day he got married, he swore to protect the woman he loves with his life, his one and only wife, yet he had failed to do so.

For a man, there’s nothing more painful than this. But what he found most unforgivable was that Nan Fei’s illness was indirectly caused by him. He was supposed to protect her at all costs, but her greatest misfortune stemmed from him.
