Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248: Chapter 248: It’s Because of Love

Qi Taiguo turned over and wrapped Cheng Su, who was facing away from him, in his arms, his hands holding on tight.

"What are you doing? Go to sleep!" said Cheng Su as she struggled briefly.

"Susu, are you, angry?" Qi Taiguo asked carefully.

Silence.

Qi Taiguo felt a tightness in his heart and tightened his grasp even more.

Cheng Su moved a little, turned around, and said, "You’re squeezing me so tight I can hardly breathe!"

"Could you please not be angry?" Qi Taiguo looked into her eyes and said, "It hurts me a lot when you are like this."

Her indifference was even more suffocating to him than an all-out fight, as if she had erected a high wall in front of him, isolating him, making it impossible for him to get over it.

Cheng Su’s eyelids drooped slightly as she muttered, "I’m not angry."

"But you said, you want me to transfer to a civilian job," Qi Taiguo said anxiously.

"I was just talking. How could you possibly transfer?" Cheng Su gave a bitter smile and said, "I know it’s impossible, yet I still said it, because I’m scared!"

"Susu..." Qi Taiguo hugged her.

"I know you’ll go far, that you’ll be a regiment leader, a division commander, and maybe even go further. But the foundation of this is built upon repeatedly walking on the edge of life and death. I understand, it’s your duty as a soldier, but I—bluntly put—am just a selfish woman!" Cheng Su said, burying her head in his chest.

"I thought I wouldn’t worry too much, heh, but when I actually received bad news about you, I felt..." Cheng Su’s voice choked as she remembered the feeling of that phone call, "I felt like something was gripping my heart. Turns out, I’m not as strong as I thought, or as strong as you imagined. I can be scared, scared of you sacrificing yourself."
