Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 655 - 650: Sharp Tongue, Soft Heart

Luo Zhiyong looked towards Fang Pingying with a gentle smile, lightly caressing her face with his hand, asking with a hint of heartache, "You must have been worried sick yesterday, right?"

Fang Pingying grabbed his hand, laid it on the bed, and tucked it under the blanket. She glanced at him and grumbled, "How could I not worry? In the middle of the night, the military called to say you were injured, ill, and on the brink of death, urging us to see you for possibly the last time. The elders at home were so scared they couldn’t even speak, both Fang Xiu and Guangsheng were beside themselves with worry."

Luo Zhiyong could imagine how it must have been, but what he really wanted to know was how Fang Pingying reacted at that time, "And you?"

"I wasn’t worried." Fang Pingying would never tell him that she had been so anxious that she felt weak in her knees and had thoughts of death, but instead, she pretended to be calm and said, "Good people don’t live long, trouble lingers for a thousand years. I knew there was no way something would happen to you that easily."

Naturally, Luo Zhiyong didn’t believe her. But this woman had always been tough-mouthed and tender-hearted, so he didn’t press her. Instead, he watched her with a light smile and then suddenly said very seriously, "Pingying, let’s not get divorced. No more fighting. From now on, let’s live a good life together."

Fang Pingying felt the same in her heart, but she didn’t want to admit it so easily in front of Luo Zhiyong and gave a non-committal reply, "We’ll talk about it later."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiyong became anxious, "You have to keep your word. I heard everything you said by my side yesterday. You said that as long as I woke up, our family of four will live peacefully. When Ruirui and Yaoyao are grown, you’d accompany me as we slowly grow old together."

Out of intense worry, Luo Zhiyong started to cough violently, causing the small monitor to beep sharply, prompting the nurses outside to immediately call for a doctor.

The doctor came, looked over for a while, and instructed Fang Pingying that although the patient was awake, he was not fully stable yet and told her not to agitate him, otherwise, the family members would not be allowed to stay in the ward.

Fang Pingying wanted to leave, but Luo Zhiyong looked at her pitifully, not letting her go.

Her heart softened, and she stayed.

After the doctor and nurses finished their work and left, Fang Pingying stopped teasing Luo Zhiyong, pulled up a stool next to his bed, sat down, and seriously told Luo Zhiyong, "Luo Zhiyong, let me warn you, no matter what happens in the future, you have to think about surviving. As long as you’re alive, there’s hope. Once you’re dead, there’s nothing left."

Then, pretending to be solemn, she said, "If you died, I would only be sad for a while before remarrying with Ruirui and Yaoyao, and then they would be happily calling someone else ’Dad’."

"I understand, it won’t happen again." Although the words were harsh, Luo Zhiyong knew they were filled with concern. He looked at her and gently smiled, "From now on, I will definitely survive, take good care of you and the children, and never let you worry or fear again."

Having received his promise, Fang Pingying didn’t say much more. She adjusted his pillow and cautioned, "Alright, let’s talk about future matters later. Don’t talk so much now. The doctor said you’ve passed the critical period, but you still need to be under observation."

Luo Zhiyong nodded, then looked outside and asked, "Where are Yaoyao and the others?"

Fang Pingying replied, "Camp Commander Xu took them to stay at the military guesthouse. Everyone had a long night and stayed up till late, so right now, the two little ones are probably still asleep. Anyway, with you here, they couldn’t come in even if they were here. After you’ve stabilized, I’ll talk to the military about possibly transferring you to a hospital in the city, which would be more convenient for us to take care of you."

Luo Zhiyong then remembered that Fang Pingying had also stayed up all night, her dark circles now severe. He hurriedly said, "You should go back to the guesthouse and rest for a bit. Come back after you’ve slept. There are nurses here to look after me."

"I..."

Seeing her hesitate, Luo Zhiyong offered her a reassuring smile, "Go on, I’ll probably have to endure a bit more here, and you’ll have your chance to take care of me." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Fang Pingying thought that made sense. Besides, with so many of them around, they couldn’t just take over the military guesthouse and waste resources.

She nodded, "Okay, you rest first. I’ll go back to the guesthouse to sleep for a while."

Watching Fang Pingying’s receding figure, Luo Zhiyong’s face was filled with a constant smile.

Although it was life-threatening, in his mind, her forgiveness was worth it.

When Fang Pingying arrived at the guesthouse, the Luo Family, including Luo Honglan, had already packed up and were about to come to the hospital. Seeing Fang Pingying arrive, Luo Honglan and the others immediately asked, "Sister-in-law, how is my big brother?"

Fang Pingying replied, "He’s awake. The doctors say he still needs observation, but his life should not be in danger now."

Upon hearing this, Luo Dashan asked eagerly, "Can we go see him?"

Fang Pingying shook her head, "Let it be. The ICU doesn’t allow too many people in. You’ll only be able to see him once he’s transferred to a regular ward."

"Then shall we wait for him to be out?"

Fang Pingying thought for a moment and made arrangements, "How about you go to the hospital this afternoon to check on your big brother and then take Yaoyao and Ruirui home with you? Help me take care of them. I’ll stay here to look after your big brother. When his condition stabilizes, I’ll discuss with the military about transferring him to a hospital in the city, which will make it easier for us to take care of him."

"That works." Luo Honglan and the others thought it was a good idea and agreed. Seeing that it was almost time for lunch and they hadn’t had breakfast yet, with the two little ones complaining of hunger, Luo Honglan said, "Sister-in-law, we’ll go get some food and bring it back. You get some rest first."

After Luo Honglan and the others left, Fang Xiu followed Fang Pingying into the room and softly asked, "Big sister, have you really decided to forgive Luo Zhiyong and reconcile?"

"Let’s talk about reconciling or whatever later, for now, let’s just live like this," Fang Pingying sighed, "I’ve seen through it. Sometimes you want to follow your heart and do things so you don’t regret it later."

Fang Xiu, thinking back to the past, felt something was off and worriedly said, "But have you considered it? The Luo Family’s issues haven’t been completely resolved, and it’s possible that things might repeat themselves just like before. You couldn’t stand it before, will you be able to tolerate it in the future?"

Fang Pingying was actually worried about the same thing, but for some reason, she couldn’t tell if it was holding a flicker of hope or something else. Suddenly, she remembered Uncle Dashan’s promise from the hospital last night and somehow felt it was a bit credible.

She called out to Fang Xiu, "Xiu’er, did you feel that what Uncle Dashan said last night was a bit strange?"

"What did he say?" Fang Xiu didn’t remember right away.

Fang Pingying said, "He mentioned that as long as Luo Zhiyong and I reconcile, he’d make sure no one would ever disturb our lives again."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu curled her lips, unconvinced, "He’s said that before too. What’s the use of just saying it?"
