After their lips touched lovingly, neither of them spoke.

In the silence of the night, every slight sound was magnified, igniting people’s imaginations.

Lu Ye didn’t want to leave.

To be more precise, he regretted ending that kiss too early.

However, he was still worried about the girl in his arms. Captain Lu was feeling anxious.

He carefully avoided Gu Yan’s injured right arm and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

“Do you remember it now? You’re not allowed to hurt yourself next time!”

“If there’s a next time, will there still be such punishments?” the clear voice teasingly asked.

The little girl wasn’t angry at all.

‘Is she challenging him instead?’

Lu Ye almost couldn’t control himself. He was so close to pouncing at her.

He gritted his teeth. “Comrade Gu Yan, you’re quite bold. But I’m going to remember your cases of insubordination. We’ll sort them out later on.”

Lu Ye then said, with his lips almost touching Gu Yan’s ear, “Actually Comrade Gu Yan, my self-control is quite weak. If you test me again and again, the big bad wolf might really eat someone.”

The hot air blew inside her ear. The temperature that finally dropped drastically rose up again.

Gu Yan bit her lips. “Captain Lu, you’re an almighty soldier of the special forces! In one of your training sessions, facing intense interrogation should be included, right?”

“This isn’t an intense interrogation, this is seduction.”

Lu Ye’s tone was teasing and delighted. He added, “My very own seduction skills.”

Gu Yan found that her heart was beating out of rhythm.

She noticed it wasn’t too smart to provoke the big bad wolf Lu now.

Realizing that things might get out of hand, Gu Yan immediately cried out, “My hand hurts so much!”

“Where? Is it the burn?” Captain Lu’s attitude immediately changed. All the playfulness was gone. His tone was filled with immense concern.

Lu Ye asked worriedly, “Do I need to call over the on-duty doctor?”

“No, this should be normal. It might be because I accidentally moved. It’s better now.”

To Gu Yan, the pain was real but not actually unbearable.

She just didn’t want to keep torturing each other.

If this continued, something would probably happen.

Captain Lu didn’t quite want to let go of his wife, but he was more concerned about her body. It was past midnight already.

Injured people should get some rest.

Hence, he was just going to deal with this unfinished business later.

Lu Ye got up and put the blankets over Gu Yan. “Go to sleep.”

“Mhm,” Gu Yan answered obediently this time.

Captain Lu couldn’t resist kissing her on the forehead, but it was very gentle and quick. “Sleep.”

Gu Yan could hear the exceptional restraint in Gu Yan’s voice. She knew how much he had struggled.

This man cherished her too much and cared about how she felt. Accordingly, he controlled his desires again and again.

She didn’t know how long he held his impulse to kiss her.

Lu Ye returned to the foldable bed beside hers.

He was uncomfortable, but he didn’t complain. His worry for Gu Yan transcended everything.

Soon, the sound of snoring finally came from Lu Ye’s direction.
