Bewilderment

At that time, he couldn't defend himself. No matter how much he explained, no one believed him. Everyone thought he was disliked by his own wife, and they said his explanations were just making excuses. In the end, he simply stopped saying anything.

"Then I’ll go find Yin Xu later!" Lin Nannan said directly, seeing that he agreed.

Lu Hang had no objections at all.

Lin Nannan had said she was there to keep Lu Hang company, but while he was writing his report, she got bored and ended up falling asleep on the bed. When Lu Hang finished, he found her like that and couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head.

He laid her properly on the bed, covered her with the blanket, then took the finished report and left...

After submitting the report and returning, Lu Hang found Lin Nannan still asleep. He was exhausted too, so he took off his clothes, lay down, and pulled the soundly sleeping person into his arms...

The movement beside her didn’t wake Lin Nannan. She only sensed the familiar, safe scent, so she wrapped her arms around him, buried her head in Lu Hang’s chest, and fell into an even deeper sleep.

Lu Hang looked at the woman in his arms, his brow furrowed.

He knew Lin Nannan’s habits—under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t sleep so deeply. But this time, even moving her hadn't woken her up. Clearly, she hadn’t been sleeping well during this period.

If this continued, how could her body hold up?

He kept his worries to himself, thinking he would ask Yin Xu about it later, and then he too drifted into sleep.

Everyone knew Lu Hang had been busy for a full day and night, capturing many people, and that he needed rest, so no one disturbed him.

Yin Xu had assumed Lin Nannan had gone home and didn’t ask, as he was busy too. It wasn’t until he finished his work and ran into A Da that he learned Lin Nannan hadn’t gone back but had instead gone with Lu Hang.

"Really now!" he thought, feeling a twinge of jealousy at the thought of himself being alone while the couple managed to find time to be together despite their work.

Lin Nannan didn’t give a thought to Yin Xu’s feelings. She had slept soundly and woke up feeling completely at ease.

When she woke, Lu Hang was still asleep. She didn’t dare move, afraid she might disturb him.

Although they worked together, their roles were like one handling external affairs and the other internal, so they rarely crossed paths. Occasionally managing to exchange a few words was already a luxury. This was the first time since returning that they had so much time together.

Lin Nannan gazed at the man lying beside her—eyes closed, face weary—and suddenly wondered if she had made a mistake.

Originally, she had come here by chance, met Lu Hang, gotten to know him, and had a daughter everyone envied. Wasn’t her life already perfect? Shouldn’t she be staying with their daughter, accompanying Lu Hang, living the kind of life everyone on their planet dreamed of?

On their planet, having a naturally born child was the most important thing, something she had witnessed with the most advanced technology. She should be there watching her daughter grow up. But now, it seemed everything had been turned upside down.

She was so busy she could hardly make time for her daughter. So, was her decision the right one?

For a moment, she felt bewildered...

Perhaps her gaze was too intense, making Lu Hang sense something was wrong. He slowly opened his eyes and met Lin Nannan’s gaze.

Her eyes were filled with conflict, prompting Lu Hang to ask, "What’s wrong?"

She lowered her eyes and said softly, "I was just wondering if I made a mistake."

Lu Hang looked at her curiously. "Why would you say that?"

Lin Nannan sat up. "What I care about most is our child and you, but now it seems like I’ve abandoned both of you."
