Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

At this moment, Zhou Guangsheng no longer wanted to fuss over past events; he just followed his heart, wanting to be with Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu was stunned by Zhou Guangsheng's sudden gesture. "I..."

Before Fang Xiu could finish her sentence, her lips were firmly sealed by Zhou's kiss.

A long while passed until Fang Xiu was gasping for breath, and only then did Zhou let her go.

Fang Xiu looked at Zhou Guangsheng, her expression somewhat bewildered; she didn't understand why he did this, wasn't he supposed to be unable to accept it?

Zhou Guangsheng pulled Fang Xiu into his embrace, whispering, "Xiu'er, I'm sorry."

He paused, his hand gently caressing Fang Xiu's face as he held her, softly explaining, "Just now, I was overwhelmed because I like you too much, so it was hard for me to accept past events for a moment, but I've thought it through now. The past is the past, and since it's gone, let's not mention it again. What I want is your present and future. As long as we live our life well, we will be happy in the future."

"You..." Fang Xiu never expected happiness to come so suddenly, emotional tears swirling in her eyes as she looked at Zhou Guangsheng with disbelief, "Are you serious? You really don't mind my past, truly don't mind Haohao's identity?"

Zhou Guangsheng looked at her, gently replying, "I do mind, but I can't bear to let you go more. As long as you promise to live a good life with me from now on, we won't bring up the past."

Fang Xiu nodded vigorously; she just wanted to live a good life with Zhou Guangsheng, which was why she said that.

She was the only one in Zhou Guangsheng's arms, wanting to explain past events, "Actually, the mistakes I made in the past were also because Luo Zhiming was such a scoundrel. Ever since he left our hometown, he's only caused trouble in the provincial city..."

Zhou Guangsheng didn't let her finish speaking; he lowered his head and kissed her lips again, saying, "I know about Luo Zhiming from what Zhiyong told me. I understand your hardship, and I'll never be like Luo Zhiming. I'll treat you well, and provide you with a good life."

"Mhm." Fang Xiu nodded, never feeling as content as she did at this moment.

She was thankful that she had listened to Fang Pingying's advice, confessing everything, which led to her current happiness.

Zhou Guangsheng held Fang Xiu as they sat on the couch for a while, discussing, "When I have a day off, I'll find a time to go to your parents to propose. We should get things settled sooner."

Fang Xiu was startled, "Isn't that too soon? We just..."

Zhou Guangsheng chuckled, winking at her, "We've known each other for a long time. Besides, I want to marry you and bring you home soon."

Two people who had just confirmed their feelings for each other were naturally very intimate, wishing they could stick together all the time.

So, when Fang Pingying and the others returned home around seven o'clock, the two were still hugging each other on the couch, chattering idly, having completely forgotten the matter of cooking dinner that Luo Zhiyong had reminded them about.

Seeing everyone's return, Fang Xiu suddenly remembered and, her face blushing, jumped up and ran to the kitchen, shouting that she was going to cook.

When everyone came in and saw the two sitting together, they naturally knew things were settled, and they were all quite happy.

Luo Zhiyong even teased Zhou Guangsheng with a smile, "Guangsheng, soon we'll be relatives, and you'll have to call me 'brother-in-law.'"

Zhou Guangsheng was an honest man; feeling that he and Fang Xiu were in a confirmed relationship was as good as being married, he sincerely called out to Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong, "Big sister, brother-in-law."

When it was Fang Ping'an's turn, he hesitated for a moment but still addressed them, "Uncle, Aunt."

Then he immediately explained, "Xiu'er and I aren't married yet, so I'll start by calling you uncle and aunt, if that's alright."

Li Yuchun saw that things between the two were settled and was happily beside herself, and seeing Zhou Guangsheng's sincerity made her like him even more. She couldn't help but chuckle, "You're such a genuine kid. You can call us whatever you want, just treat our Xiu'er well from now on."

The moment Zhou Guangsheng heard this, he immediately assured the elders, "I will definitely treat Xiu'er well. Xiu'er has had a hard time these past years, and I won't let her suffer anymore."

"Mhm, now that you say that, we feel relieved." Fang Ping'an was also satisfied with Zhou Guangsheng as a son-in-law; in their eyes, a military man was more reliable and responsible than an average man.

"We feel relieved too. For this matter, it's been quite a torment," joked Luo Zhiyong, calling out to his daughter who was nearby, "Come here, Yaoyao, let daddy give you a hug."

Yaoyao, hearing this, immediately grinned and waddled towards Luo Zhiyong, "Daddy, daddy."

Seeing this, the little chubby Haohao nearby didn't want to be left out and ran towards Zhou Guangsheng while calling out, "Daddy, hug."

Everyone initially couldn't help but be surprised, but soon they all couldn't help laughing.

Fang Xiu had found a good place to belong, and Zhou Guangsheng was very good to Haohao. If one didn't know the real situation, they might really think they were father and son.

Seeing this situation, Fang Pingying and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Fang Xiu had a second marriage and had made some mistakes before, there were still many men who would mind, and they had always been worried that Fang Xiu wouldn't find a reliable person for the rest of her life.

Now, as far as Fang Ping'an and the others were concerned, they were genuinely reassured.

And indeed, life had gotten much better. Both their daughters had found their place, the grandchildren were lively and endearing, Fang Ping'an had work, and the family had no worries about money. There couldn't be a better life.

Fang Ping'an and the others were very content.

Two months later, almost in September.

The weather was gradually getting cold. Fang Pingying planned to go out to the street to stroll, to buy some wool to knit sweaters and pants for the little ones for winter.

The little ones were growing fast, changing day by day, so last year's clothes were already impossible to squeeze into.

At Fang Pingying's, since the supermarket was fully managed by Liu Fengsheng, she only needed to visit occasionally each month. With Fang Xiu and Yu'er taking care of the dessert shop, she had almost half of the month to herself. She stayed at home, caring for the little ones and managing the household, living a very comfortable life.

That day, she asked Luo Honglan to watch the two little ones at home, planning to invite Juzi for a walk outside. Passing by the dessert shop, she told Fang Xiu about buying wool, and Fang Xiu also expressed her wanting to go out, thinking about knitting a sweater for Zhou Guangsheng.

Seeing the busiest time at the shop was over and Yu'er saying she could handle it alone, Fang Pingying and Fang Xiu went over to Juzi's.

Besides Qiu Lian, there was another young girl tending the clothing shop, rendering Juzi's presence there rather superfluous. Upon hearing that Fang Pingying was inviting her to go shopping, Juzi was thrilled and immediately grabbed her bag to join them.

Juzi glanced at Fang Xiu and smiled, "Xiu'er, what are you planning to buy today? Every time you come out with us, you never seem to buy anything for yourself. What about today? Are you shopping for Haohao and the others again?"
