Chapter 458 You little glutton!
Xiaobai was both surprised and delighted.
"Yuemin, when did you get back? Why didn't you tell me beforehand so I could have picked you up!"
“I have hands and feet, I know the way home. You’re busy with work and don’t have time. I just got home this morning and came over after lunch.”
Zhong Yuemin placed another bag on the table as well.
"Eat your food first, it'll get cold soon."
The three entered the office, and Zhong Yuemin took out the food from the insulated food container one by one and arranged it.
Xiaobai sat back in her chair and started eating, while Xiaoling'er played with her new toys, occasionally calling out "Daddy" in her clear voice, having a great time.
Xiaobai was somewhat surprised by her daughter's affectionate behavior:
"You two have become friends already? Didn't I think you were a child thief this morning?"
This is what she just learned from Yuemin.
"What are you saying? I'm her biological father, blood is thicker than water, how could we not be close?"
Zhong Yuemin smiled and sat down to one side.
"Kids will be like that. Give them something new and interesting, play with them for a while, and they'll be fine with you right away. That's called getting to know someone as soon as you meet them."
"That's true."
Xiaobai smiled too.
"But kids forget things easily. If you leave again in a few days, she might start treating you like a stranger again. By the way, how many days will you stay this time? When will you rejoin the team?"
"Don't go."
Zhong Yuemin looked at her, his tone calm.
Xiaobai paused in her chopsticks, then looked up:
"Not leaving? What do you mean?"
"What, you're not happy? You can't wait for me to leave so you can go have a secret rendezvous with some 'lover'?"
Zhong Yuemin raised an eyebrow and revealed his usual roguish smile.
"Screw you!"
Xiaobai gently tapped the back of his hand with her chopsticks, her face slightly flushed, and said reproachfully.
"You're a father now, yet you still act so irresponsibly, talking nonsense in front of your child!"
Zhong Yuemin stopped joking and said seriously:
“I’m really not leaving. I’ve applied for a demobilization, and Haiyang will go with me.”
Xiao Bai was completely stunned. She put down her chopsticks, her face full of disbelief.
"Really? You didn't lie to me?"
"When have I ever lied to you about this?"
As Zhong Yuemin spoke, he took out the neatly folded demobilization certificate from his pocket and handed it over.
"See for yourself!"
Xiaobai forgot about her meal and hurriedly took the package. She unfolded it and examined it carefully, confirming that it was correct. Overwhelmed with joy, she stood up abruptly, hugged her man tightly, and couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek, her voice filled with barely suppressed excitement:
"That's wonderful... Yuemin, I've been waiting for you for so many years, and I've finally got you back!"
From now on, she won't have to sleep alone on the empty half of the bed anymore...
Little Ling'er happened to see this scene, ran over, scratched her cheek with her little fingers, and called out in her childish voice:
"Mommy's so embarrassing, Mommy's so embarrassing, a grown man still kissing Daddy on the lips!"
Xiaobai then realized her daughter was still beside her, her face flushed red, and she quickly let go of her husband, squatted down, and explained to her daughter:
"Ling'er, Daddy has sand on his face, let Mommy blow it off for him..."
That's a lame excuse.
Zhong Yuemin touched his cheek that had been kissed and chuckled, "Yeah, I bragged, but I still have a mouthful of oil on it."
Xiaobai sat back down in her chair, still feeling agitated. Remembering something else, she asked:
"Does Dad know about this? He's... not angry, is he?"
"I told my dad as soon as I got home."
Zhong Yuemin shook his head.
“My dad is quite open-minded. He said that the world is at peace now, and I was just sitting around in the army anyway, so it would be good for me to leave the military and reduce the burden on the country.”
As he spoke, he looked at his wife with a slightly sly expression.
“But honey, with the reduction of over a million troops this time, plus the educated youth returning to the city, there will definitely be a shortage of jobs. Your husband might lose his job... From now on, I’ll be counting on you to support me.”
Xiaobai was amused by him:
"Stop playing the victim. Even a little bit of money from between your fingers, Boss Zhong, would be enough to feed my daughter and me. Why would I need to support you?"
He paused, his eyes softening.
“But I think you shouldn’t rush to find a job. You’ve been running around all these years and haven’t had a proper rest. How much time have you missed with your child? Take this opportunity to stay home and take good care of Ling’er, and fulfill your responsibilities as a father. There’s no rush to find a job. Let me support you.”
"Does that mean I'm really a 'kept man'?"
As Zhong Yuemin spoke, his gaze swept meaningfully over his wife's prominent breasts. In the more than six months since he last saw her, their curves and shape had become even more impressive.
Zhou Xiaobai knew exactly what this rascal was thinking. Her face turned even redder, and she lightly tapped his arm, scolding him in a low voice:
"You're being inappropriate! There's a child here, watch your step!"

After get off work in the afternoon, Zhong Yuemin took Xiaobai and his daughter to his father-in-law's house. Now that he had been transferred back from the military, it was only proper to inform his father-in-law.
The father-in-law's reaction was exactly the same as his own father's; after listening, he simply nodded, his tone calm.
"So be it. In peacetime, the military needs to be streamlined. Coming back to build up the local area is also a contribution."
The two old gentlemen had probably discussed this attitude beforehand.
The mother-in-law held her granddaughter, beaming from ear to ear; she was the happiest.
With her son-in-law finally able to settle down, her daughter no longer having to support the family alone year after year, and the young couple finally able to reunite, a huge weight was lifted from her heart as a mother.
"Yuemin,"
While feeding her granddaughter fruit, Chen Yijun asked with concern,
"Now that you're back from military service, what are your job plans? Which unit would you like to work for? Ask your dad and two older brothers to keep an eye out for you."
Just then, the eldest sister-in-law, who happened to be home, chimed in with a smile:
"Mom, you're still worrying about this? Yuemin has such a big business outside, with countless assets, why would he need to work a regular job? I think it's better for him to manage his own company well than to work for any other company!"
Chen Yijun was actually aware of this.
"I know that. I just feel that Yuemin has been in the army for so many years and is a battalion commander. It would be a real waste if he just stopped working after being demobilized. What do you think, old man?"
Zhou Zhennan sat to one side,
"You're always worrying. When Yuemin was in the army, you were worried about him and hoped he would come back soon after his discharge. Now that he's back, you feel it's a pity. Alright, stop worrying about it. Children and grandchildren have their own lives. They're not children anymore. Let them decide for themselves."
At this moment, the little girl in my arms blurted out,
"Grandpa, Ling'er isn't a child anymore. I want to make my own decisions."
Zhou Zhennan looked at the little girl with loving eyes.
"What decision are you going to make for yourself?"
"Mom only gives me one candy a day, but I'm an adult, so I want to eat two."
This remark amused everyone else, but Xiaobai was annoyed.
"You little snacker!"
