Chapter 323 I'm Going to Snatch My Wife Back

"Dad, I'm back!" Zhu Kaixuan walked into the study and closed the door behind him, but instead of sitting down immediately, he went straight to the desk, looked at the old man, and looked at him with a hint of urgency in his eyes.

"I'm fine, I don't have any serious injuries. We can talk about other things later. Where is my wife? I need to go find her."

Grandpa Zhu's expression froze. He silently looked at his youngest son, whom he hadn't seen for over a decade. As a veteran of the War of Resistance against Japan, he had already prepared himself to die for his country when he first went to the battlefield, regarding his son's sudden departure more than ten years ago.

This belief is the most important thing in the hearts of these veterans throughout their lives, and they would not complain even if it meant handing their sons over to the country.

The veteran felt no resentment at the fact that his youngest son had returned alive and successfully completed the mission assigned to him by the country; instead, he was filled with pride and joy.

But at that moment, upon hearing his youngest son speak, Zhu Dadao suddenly felt a sense of relief, thinking, "He's finally here."

"What's wrong?" Zhu Kaixuan felt increasingly uneasy when he saw his old man's stiff expression and the struggle he couldn't hide. However, he refused to think the worst and just forced a stiff smile. But the coldness and madness in his tone still betrayed his true nature.

"Did she remarry? Which bastard seduced my wife? Please don't be angry with her. Over the years, there must have been a lot of people gossiping about her behind her back. It's definitely not her fault."

After saying that, Zhu Kaixuan didn't even want to hear the old man say another word and turned to leave.

"Wait, where are you going? Come back!" Zhu Dadao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly strode over and reached out to grab the stubborn brat who had been so obstinate since childhood.

"I'm going to process my discharge from the army!" Zhu Kaixuan turned to look at his father, his cold, hard face carrying an indescribable stubbornness. He stared at his father with an unyielding expression, "Don't try to persuade me, it's useless. For this country, for the honor of our Zhu family, I've sacrificed more than ten years of my and my wife's time. I think that's enough. As a son of the Zhu family, I have done right by the country, done right by the people, and done right by all the teachings you and Mother gave me back then."

The only person I've wronged is her. From now on, all I want to do is stay with my wife and live a good life. I'm going to go and win her back right now. If you think I've brought shame to the Zhu family, then I'll publish a notice in the newspaper immediately after I leave to sever ties with you. I will absolutely not have the slightest complaint.

Don't worry, if I miss you, I'll secretly come back to see you.

"Come back here and sit down!" Zhu Dadao shouted, taking advantage of the fact that the kid didn't dare to tear it himself, he forcefully pulled him to the chair and pressed him down into it.

"dad!"

Zhu Kaixuan stared at the old man with red eyes and a stubborn expression. He didn't want to think about anything right now, and even refused to hear any answers he didn't want to hear. He was like a naughty child who refused any effective communication and just stubbornly insisted on his own ideas.

However, his uncontrollable trembling betrayed the deep-seated fear within him.

He was afraid...

I'm afraid to hear the thing I least want to hear...

Zhu Kaixuan subconsciously gripped his father's wrist, speaking first before the old man could, as if only in this way could the answer he feared disappear.

"I beg you, I don't want to be a soldier anymore. Please let me go through the discharge procedures, and then I'll go find my wife. We can go to the port city, we can go anywhere. Don't worry, I will never let you down."

"Triumphant return..."

"Dad, I don't want to be a soldier anymore. I just want my wife. I haven't let you and Mom down. I've never been afraid of death during my missions. I've truly lived up to that uniform."

So, could you please move aside? I want to go find my wife.

Dad, I want a wife right now.

"Congratulations on your triumphant return!" The old man, his eyes red, glared angrily at his youngest son and shouted, then raised his hand and slapped him across the face.

A loud "snap" echoed throughout the study, silencing Zhu Kaixuan's thoughts.

Grandpa Zhu shook off his youngest son's hand, put his hands on his hips, tilted his head back, took a deep breath, suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and looked at the person sitting motionless in the chair with his head down with red eyes.

“You know perfectly well that Yiman isn’t that kind of person. That girl has always been stubborn since she was little. Once she sets her mind on something, she’ll do it no matter what, even if she hits a brick wall, she’ll find a way to push it down. Once she’s chosen someone, it’s for life. Even if you change your mind first, she’ll castrate you before kicking you out. How could she possibly remarry?”

She has made up her mind about you, Zhu Kaixuan; you will be the only one in her life, and no one else will.

"My dear child, please calm down and listen to your father slowly, okay?"

"No, I don't want to, I don't know, I don't know anything." Zhu Kaixuan shook his head stiffly, refusing all communication, and suddenly stood up, pushed the old man away, and was about to walk out.

"Kaixuan, Kaixuan, stop right there!" The old man quickly took two steps to catch up and stop the man. He was heartbroken to see his son's crazy appearance, but he dared not let him go out at this moment, or something bad would happen.

"I don't know, Dad. You told me I had to go find my wife. We promised she would wait for me to come back, and I would try my best to come back alive. Now I've completed my mission, and I'm back alive. My wife is definitely waiting for me. From childhood to adulthood, she's always kept her promises to me, so she's definitely waiting for me."
