WARNING! Tsundere President

However, as the commander in the battlefield, he could not leave his men to find her. He had to block his own emotions and wait until the war was over before he went to look for her.

Sometimes, army wives had to face situations like this.

Military men put their duties above all else.

Even family and loved ones had to be set aside when necessary.

Wen He stuttered, “Ah, that. That…”

She quickly changed the topic by asking how he was doing as she slipped out of his arms.

Then, she said, “Gu Jinzhi is still inside, we should get him out now!”

“Yes.”

Huo Chen let the matter rest for the moment. It would have to wait until later, when they were back home.

Under Wen He’s guidance, the soldiers removed the rocks from the other side of the car.

“Found him!”

When she heard that, Wen He anxiously hopped toward the car on one foot.

She nearly slipped on some pebbles, but Huo Chen moved fast enough to catch her in time.

She noticed the man’s warning glance and stuck her tongue out. Then, she asked sweetly, “Can you carry me there?”

Huo Chen carried her in his arms without a word.

“Gu Jinzhi!” Wen He looked anxiously ahead. “Wake up, it’s time to go home!”

“Ma’am…”

Song Shou spoke hesitantly.

Wen He’s heart sank. She urged Huo Chen to bring her closer.

When she was close enough to see what happened, a loud static noise blocked her thoughts.

All she could hear was the static as her mind went blank.

She saw Gu Jinzhi stuck in the car door. Since the rocks were removed, his right leg was exposed and hung loosely like a broken twig. The leg was twisted at an unnatural angle.

She could see protruding white bones coated with dried blood. It looked so hideous and dreadful.

“Gu Jinzhi…”

Wen He muttered.

“Gu Jinzhi!!”

In the next moment, she pushed Huo Chen away and dashed toward the man, ignoring the pain from her broken leg.

She carefully opened the car door and felt the man’s heavy body slump into her arms.

When she saw the tree branch that plunged right through his abdomen, Wen He was shocked.

This was not how he described his injuries. He said only his leg was stuck.

He said he was fine. This was not… fine.

She had no idea that he was injured so badly.

How did he endure all the pain as he comforted her, kept her company, and helped her survive those critical hours?

He was gravely injured, and yet he pretended to be fine. He gave her support, courage and hope until help finally arrived.

At that moment, Wen He wanted to stab herself to death!

How obtuse must she have been to not realize the suffering he was hiding?

How selfish must she have been to only think about herself?

“Gu Jinzhi…”

Wen He stared blankly at the man lying quietly in her arms.

His eyes were closed, the eyelashes still curving up beautifully. He looked deadly pale. Even his lovely lips lost its vibrant red.

The slight curve of his lips made him look like a man dreaming peacefully in his sleep.

“Gu Jinzhi…”

Wen He shook his body and cried shakily.

“Wake up.

“That’s enough rest for now, let’s go home…

“Hey…

“I’m going to pinch you if you stay asleep!

“Gu Jinzhi…”
