Arriving here as a Military Wife, Wang Yuncai was determined to outdo Xia Xiao, to best her, but unfortunately, Wang Yuncai was not a capable person by nature, and she truly was not as competent as Xia Xiao. And also, because her hand was cut today, her foot blistered tomorrow, and the next day again cut her hand, Wang Yuncai was always in accidents; she hardly managed any work. Yet because of her injuries, she got close to Lin Xiang, whose little schemes were too apparent for Wang Yuncai, especially since Wang Yuncai also fancied Gao Jiaxing. So as soon as the two left, Wang Yuncai said, "You like Gao Jiaxing, right?" "I simply admire the hero," Lin Xiang would certainly not foolishly admit it, since Gao Jiaxing was a married man, and admitting it would mean she harbored incorrect thoughts, unbecoming of a soldier. Wang Yuncai inwardly smirked, thinking Lin Xiang was stubborn like a drowning man, obviously in love, acting all lovestruck whenever she saw Gao Jiaxing, and still claiming it was merely admiration. But Wang Yuncai also knew in her heart that she could never recklessly reveal that she had her eyes on a married man, only a fool would let others know. Then she somberly said, "Xia Xiao’s happiness really does make people jealous, right? Her personality, how should I say it, I have some understanding, not a grain of sand can fit in her eye. If one day Gao Jiaxing accidentally sleeps with someone else, Xia Xiao definitely wouldn’t dare make a big fuss, because it would ruin Gao Jiaxing’s future, and it would affect the kids too. Moreover, Xia Xiao gets along well with her mother-in-law, if such a thing were to happen, she’d surely divorce Gao Jiaxing and leave with the kids." "How is that possible?" Lin Xiang didn’t believe Xia Xiao would separate from Gao Jiaxing. "Why wouldn’t it be possible? I’ve inquired about this, Xia Xiao was originally dating He Xuebing, brother of He Xuexiang, but Li Shengmei objected, and wasn’t there talk of the commander’s daughter pursuing He Xuebing? Xia Xiao immediately broke it off with He Xuebing." As Wang Yuncai finished speaking, Lin Xiang looked at Wang Yuncai and said, "What are you trying to tell me?" Wang Yuncai replied, "I didn’t say anything specific, I was just speaking casually; you don’t need to take it to heart. I’m just envious of Xia Xiao, really, she’s truly fortunate - such a great mother-in-law, an outstanding husband, and a few adorable kids, I believe no woman wouldn’t be envious of Xia Xiao." Lin Xiang nodded; she almost wished she could become Xia Xiao, or actually be Xia Xiao herself. Wang Yuncai didn’t talk more with Lin Xiang and left. Meanwhile, Lin Xiang was stunned by what Wang Yuncai had just said, her admiration for Gao Jiaxing was consuming. Lin Xiang couldn’t quite explain it, but since that year at the major assessment, when Gao Jiaxing, the standout among the soldiers, she fell for him. Even knowing Gao Jiaxing was taken, Lin Xiang didn’t care; until they’re married, being a partner meant nothing. Too bad at that time Gao Jiaxing’s unit was classified, and not so easy to inquire about; she didn’t even know where he was, otherwise she’d have chased him down long ago. But by the time she saw Gao Jiaxing again, he had already gotten married, and Xia Xiao had impressively given birth to twin boys for Gao Jiaxing. Lin Xiang felt frustrated, thinking if Yu Zhen had dated He Xuebing earlier, she would’ve met Gao Jiaxing sooner. This year, Xia Xiao and the Military Wives thought Gao Jiaxing and the others would return only on New Year’s Eve, yet unexpectedly, they didn’t come back at all for the New Year, so Xia Xiao and the others had an extremely anxious holiday. Every day, they waited by the seaside, hoping for news from Gao Jiaxing and his team, looking out for the arrival of a big ship; the Military Wives almost turned into longing stones. "Dear cousin," Xia Xiao could only look at Mu Xingzhi, and everyone else also looked at Mu Xingzhi, yet Mu Xingzhi only returned everyone a helpless expression. The heart of a Military Wife felt ice-cold, and she was almost on the verge of tears. Although the soldiers hadn’t gone to the battlefield, they had been away for two or three months, and hadn’t come home for the New Year. How could everyone not worry? Zheng Xianghong and Li Shengmei were also worried, especially when looking at the vast sea. Not a single ship was in sight, only the endless water, which made everyone feel restless and uneasy. They didn’t even know where the soldiers had gone, so they didn’t know where to start searching. Xia Xiao stood on the beach, walked farther away, and whispered to Shitou, "Do you think they are still at sea?" Shitou said, "I don’t know. It’s possible they went to another island." As he spoke, Shitou added, "Xiaoxiao, let’s find a chance to dive underwater and see. Perhaps there are energy stones at the bottom of the sea?" "Going underwater?" Xia Xiao looked at the boundless ocean and replied to Shitou, "Are you sure you don’t just want me to feed the fish?" "With the ’space’, what’s there to be afraid of?" Shitou said. How could Xia Xiao not be scared? Although she also relied on the "space", that didn’t mean she was careless about everything. Now, she had a happy family, a handsome husband, several adorable sons, and a caring mother-in-law. Xia Xiao was living a delightful life. Although curious about exploring the mysterious world under the sea, she valued her life even more. For more chapters visıt 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵 "You promised to find energy stones," Shitou reminded her. "Yes, I did promise, but didn’t we agree to wait until I was middle-aged or older? I’m not ready to die yet." As soon as Xia Xiao finished speaking, Shitou replied, "How have you become so timid now? With me here, how could I let you die. Don’t you want to see the underwater world?" "Not now. I can visit the ocean world later," Xia Xiao shook her head, admitting her current fear of taking risks. "There are many treasures at the bottom of the sea," Shitou continued. Xia Xiao said, "Tempting me won’t work. I can’t leave now either. How would I explain it to my family?" If it were just her and the children sleeping, it would be simple. She could just place the children in the "space" while they slept. But with Zheng Xianghong there, Xia Xiao couldn’t possibly leave. "Then let’s find a chance to come here and look," Shitou suggested. "Okay," this time Xia Xiao nodded readily. She looked in the direction of Zheng Xianghong, where Feiyi was being carried on Zheng Xianghong’s back, while Feiyang and Feiyue played in the sand. Xia Xiao thought, if something were to happen to her, Gao Jiaxing, being so young and with a long future ahead, wouldn’t possibly stay single forever. The military would introduce and arrange someone; he would probably get remarried. After all, Gao Jiaxing was becoming more and more charming, which naturally attracted women. But her children having to call another woman "mom" troubled her greatly. The thought of another woman taking her place, sharing her bed with her husband, caring for her children, perhaps even mistreating them, turned Xia Xiao’s mood entirely. "Xia Xiao, let’s go back. Don’t stay by the seaside too long; the wind is strong," Zheng Xianghong yelled towards Xia Xiao. Xia Xiao nodded, then called out to Feiyang and Feiyue, "Feiyang, Feiyue, stop playing. Let’s go home."
