After the meeting, Xue Ya'er returned to her room to have her lunch.
When she arrived, she was surprised to see her husband was there. It had been days since her husband returned from the barracks. Usually, he only stayed for at most two days before he returned.
Noticing his wife's surprise, Lu Qianxuan swallowed the bitter taste in his mouth. He smiled at her and said gently, "Wife, you worked hard."
Xue Ya'er took her seat and sipped the tea he poured for her. After hesitating for a moment, she finally asked, "Husband, is it all right for you to leave the barracks for so long?"
Hearing this, Lu Qianxuan's hand paused for a moment before he placed the teacup down. He turned to her and asked, "You don't want me to spend time with you?"
"I didn't mean it like that. I just didn't want to take up your time. If you have important business, you can…"
Before she finished her words, he interrupted her, "You didn't."
