Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Eager to Return

During the days Qi Taiguo was out on a mission, Cheng Su was both working at the restaurant and busy making jam, leaving home early and returning late with Qiulan every day, living a busy yet fulfilling life.

As for Qi Taiguo, it was probably the first time he felt eager to return home after a mission. He swiftly jumped off the military truck and headed straight for the compound.

"Yo, Commander Qi is missing his sister-in-law!" a young soldier teased him with a whistle from the truck window.

"Get lost," Qi Taiguo spat back with a laugh and a mock curse before he moved on.

Arriving at his front door, he took a moment to tidy up his collar, thought better of it, and left it disheveled to look worn out, then knocked on the door feigning exhaustion.

Women are all soft-hearted, after all.

Thud, thud.

He waited a while, but there was no response. Qi Taiguo’s thick brows furrowed, and he knocked again, yet still there was silence inside.

What’s going on? Wasn’t she home? Could she still be at the restaurant?

Qi Taiguo took his keys out of his military backpack, unlocked the door, and stepped inside, only to be stunned.

This...

He stepped back to make sure it was indeed his home, but everything inside had changed. Gone were the familiar furnishings, replaced with a completely different layout.

Walking further inside, Qi Taiguo looked around, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity in the room that was now steeped in a cozy and warm atmosphere. A potted rhododendron, full of life, was swaying gently in the breeze on the windowsill.

He set down his backpack and looked around the inside and outside of the house. He could sense the female owner’s diligent effort in every corner, and only then did he open the door to Cheng Su’s room, which had undergone a major transformation. The bed was covered with a festive, yet not gaudy, new quilt, neatly laid out as if waiting for someone, and most importantly, there were two pillows on the bed.

A surge of emotion gripped Qi Taiguo’s heart. Had she prepared all this especially for him?
