Chapter 299

Actually, Shu Ying doesn't get carsick very often, but it does happen occasionally depending on her mood.

Today's excessive fatigue left her in a tense state, and the swaying of the car made her feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he hadn't eaten much, so he didn't actually throw up in the car.

Xie Zhiyan understood how tiring it was to use his brain at high intensity. He gently patted Shu Ying's back and said, "It's my fault. I was only thinking about buying you the things you like to eat, but those pastries aren't filling at all. Just hang in there a little longer, we'll be home soon."

He opened his water bottle, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to him, saying, "This is the water you filled for me when I left this morning. Take a sip first."

Shu Ying took the water cup. The water in Xie Zhiyan's cup was spiritual spring water, which was more effective than ordinary water. Sure enough, after taking a big gulp, her fatigue was relieved a lot. The feeling of being nauseous disappeared immediately, and her white complexion slowly returned to normal.

Seeing that she was indeed feeling better, Xie Zhiyan finally felt relieved.

“I think you shouldn’t work so hard in the future. You’ve been sitting in the conference room all day without moving. Even a person made of iron can’t withstand such a heavy workload. It’s also my fault. I should have prepared food for you in advance since I knew you were working so hard. Next time you need something, just make a list for me, and I promise to prepare everything neatly.”

Shu Ying laughed at Xie Zhiyan's words. He always became paranoid because of her every move, so he could naturally feel her warmth.

She held Xie Zhiyan's hand tightly. "Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. I know my own body. It's just that I had less today. You said the situation is so urgent. I have the ability to solve things, so how can I stand idly by?"

National development is an inescapable and important matter, and everyone hopes to be able to help. If she is considered to have suffered because of today's events, then there are countless predecessors who are fighting on the front lines.

"Besides, I only felt honored. My parents have dedicated their entire lives to the research base all these years, including my sister."

When the topic turned to those sad things from the past, Shu Ying quickly changed the subject.

"In short, it's not just you and me who are suffering. Everyone can get through it by gritting their teeth. I'm not that delicate either. I went abroad to study so that I could have this day. So you don't need to feel sorry for me. Actually, you're not having it any easier than me. We're both sacrificing for this family, but we're also sacrificing for this country."

Therefore, Shu Ying did many things willingly.

Even if it might be tiring, as long as the motherland is getting better every day and she can see the prosperity of the motherland, she has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Xie Zhiyan sighed helplessly, but he felt mostly fortunate. Just how lucky was he to have married such a wonderful wife?

Perhaps he was a lucky one chosen by God from birth, which is why he was the one engaged to Shu Ying, and not someone else.

"Yingying, thank you so much."

Although the two haven't known each other for very long, he has already learned a lot from Shu Ying. Everyone thinks she is a flower growing in a greenhouse, but she is as resilient as a blade of grass, never afraid of wind and rain, only brave enough to face any challenge head-on.

Shu Yingzi gently patted the back of his hand and leaned into his arms. "There's no need to thank me. Our fate is ordained by God. Now that we've become a family, we should be husband and wife as one. If you can understand me, I can understand you, and that's how we'll get better and better."

Communication between husband and wife is important, but learning to put yourself in each other's shoes is equally important. Different mindsets lead to different lives, and Shu Ying understands this principle well, so she never criticizes Xie Zhiyan.

By the time they got home, it was already very late, and some people who went to bed early had already turned off their lights.

Hearing the noise of the car outside, Song Zhaodi quickly put on her clothes and came out of the living room. Seeing that the two looked exhausted, she handed them a glass of water.

"It's good that you're back. You left in a hurry today and didn't explain the situation clearly. I was worried that you might not be able to come back tonight because it seemed a bit too serious. You've been out all day, are you tired? Come in and sit down to rest. I bought some Song Zhaodi from the market at noon today, and I've already cut it up and put it on the tea."

Seeing Song Zhaodi come out to greet her, Shu Ying quickly took her hand. "It's already so late, why aren't you asleep yet, sister? You don't need to wait for us to come back. The situation today was indeed quite complicated, but it seems that we had a few outstanding colleagues who were able to come back today. Otherwise, it would have been quite uncertain."

As the group entered the house, the warm light instantly relieved Shu Ying's fatigue, making her feel as if she were surrounded by warm cotton.

"You must be exhausted."

Seeing that Shu Ying's expression was off, Song Zhaodi felt a pang of heartache and naturally took the clothes from her and hung them on the clothes rack next to her.

Now that they were all family, Shu Ying didn't stand on ceremony like she did in public. She took Song Zhaodi's arm with both hands and rested her head on her shoulder.

"Sister, you have no idea, I didn't eat much today. I felt nauseous on the way back. I was so touched when I saw you waiting for me outside. I'm so lucky to have such a good sister like you. Otherwise, what would happen to the children at home?"

Shu Ying's unabashed coquettishness clearly indicated that she already considered Song Zhaodi as family.

Xie Zhiyan had already taken off his coat. He remembered that Shu Ying had mentioned wanting to eat fresh meat noodles in the conference room. The meat had been bought yesterday. The children at home were growing, so there was never a shortage of meat and eggs.

Song Zhaodi gently massaged her shoulders, and Shu Ying closed her eyes in enjoyment.

"When you left, I originally wanted you to take those things to eat on the way, but I saw that Xiao Wang seemed to be in a hurry. I waited for you for a while at noon but you didn't come back. I didn't know who to ask for news of you. Why are you so tired?"

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Xie Zhiyan again and said, "Ah Yan, you should have told me when you came back, knowing how hard you were working. At least I could have prepared the meal in advance so you could have a hot meal when you came back."

Xie Zhiyan had already walked towards the kitchen. He lifted the basket next to him and took a look. The fresh and crisp green vegetables were perfect as a side dish for noodles.

"Sister, take a rest. Yingying said she wanted to eat fresh meat noodles before she came back. I'll make them now, it won't take long. Here's some chopped meat, Song Zhaodi, have a couple of bites first."
