My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!-Chapter 1146 - 1065: Awkward Thief! Suspicious!

"Not shocking until I’m dead!"

Wu Jie saw several unread text messages from his father-in-law Tang Long on Tang Xiao’s phone.

"I heard Jie went to Baldet alone in an airplane, where are you right now?"

"Not answering calls, not replying to messages, what are you doing? The righteous will have their protection; I believe that lad won’t encounter any trouble, but please don’t act rashly!"

"If Jie really can’t come back, you can even become a widow, but please don’t do anything foolish! If you really follow him in death, then who’s going to take revenge for him? Who’s going to take care of his parents? Please think it through!"

"Jie has returned, you must be relieved now, huh? Why haven’t you replied to me all afternoon? Are you asleep, or are you already dead?"

...

Seeing the last message.

Such emphatic words confirmed without a doubt that they were indeed father and daughter.

Because Hu Anbiao and others were around, Wu Jie believed that his father-in-law Tang Long, who was far away in China, would surely be informed of the latest situation at any time.

But since Tang Xiao had been sleeping all afternoon, Tang Long couldn’t reach her, so naturally, he was somewhat anxious.

Luckily, Wu Jie had Tang Xiao sleeping in the rest area within the safety base.

If she wasn’t here, Tang Long would definitely be even more anxious.

So...

Wu Jie didn’t even care about eating anymore, he quickly connected a video call.

"Dad, it’s me, Jie, I..."

Tang Long’s voice was brimming with anger, immediately interrupting Wu Jie as he peppered him with questions:

"What ’I’? Where’s Xiao? What is she doing? You haven’t answered my calls or texts all afternoon, I thought she was dead!"

Wu Jie awkwardly said, "Dad, don’t overthink it, Xiao was just taking a nap!"

Tang Long exclaimed loudly, "A nap? It’s already dark over in Nabiya, isn’t it?"

"The thing is, I had to rush to Baldet this afternoon, and she insisted on coming with me, so I... I gave her some medicine..."

Wu Jie succinctly explained.

At the same time, he tucked her in, covering everything below her neck, before switching the phone to the rear camera.

After listening to Wu Jie, and seeing Tang Xiao soundly asleep, Tang Long chuckled smugly:

"You really know how to handle things! To be able to keep Xiao asleep until now, and to make Abulaxi suffer immensely!"

Wu Jie laughed, "It’s just a minor skill, nothing worth mentioning!"

"Heh, you think I am praising you?"

Tang Long scolded coldly, "I know you’re capable and courageous, and taking risks alone is indeed admirable!"

"But have you thought about what would happen if you managed to rescue those five colleagues and then got detained in Baldet and couldn’t return? What should your family think and do?"

"Also, if you hadn’t been able to drug Abulaxi, then what would your situation be right now? After all said and done, you’re just too impulsive!"

...

How else to respond to a father-in-law’s reprimand?

Just tuck your tail between your legs and listen carefully!

Admit your mistakes respectfully and take a stand.

Explaining what?

The gap between father-in-law and son-in-law isn’t just generational, it’s a chasm.

People from different eras have different perceptions.

And indeed, Wu Jie was too reckless this time.

He thought there would be no problem, no danger, but others may not see it the same way.

They only know that Abulaxi is bad news, Baldet is extremely dangerous, and Wu Jie going there all by himself is nothing short of betting his life.

Concern leads to chaos!

Wu Jie understood that if they weren’t people who cared about him, who would bother to say so much?

No need to be stubborn now that things have come to this.

"...Anyway, you can never act this way again, otherwise, I’ll definitely tell your parents and see how they deal with you!"

Wu Jie switched back to the front camera and quickly said with an apologetic smile:

"Ouch, dad, I know I was wrong, I beg your magnanimity to forgive me this time!"

Humph~

Tang Long snorted heavily.

"This incident has already happened, I can’t help but forgive you, but there is another matter that I simply can’t forgive!"

"Ah? What else have I done wrong?"

Wu Jie frowned slightly, his mind subconsciously drifting to Chu Yunxuan.

Could it be that their secret got out?

He really couldn’t stand the entanglements with Chu Yunxuan, and he did make an impulsive mistake.

Deep down, he felt a tinge of guilt.

When Tang Long mentioned it so suddenly, naturally, he felt a little guilty.

"What did I do wrong?" Tang Long rebuked irritably, "It’s almost the end of the year, what’s going on with you two? Xiao promised me that she would be pregnant by the end of the year, so what’s the result now?"

Pregnant?

Wu Jie’s lips twitched and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn!

You scared me to death!

I thought it was about Chu Yunxuan that got exposed!

But upon reflection, that’s not right.

In a moment of unbearable pressure, the thing that happened with Chu Yunxuan...

Took place in the deep underground of the heavily secured Scientific Research City Intelligence Center, where no outsiders could barge in.

Apart from Wu Jie, no one could just come and go, and what happened with Chu Yunxuan, unless she spoke up, who would know?

With Chu Yunxuan’s character and integrity, she wouldn’t spread such things around.

Without his orders, would she dare to spread rumors?

So...

A false alarm! A false alarm!

He sighed once more, and Wu Jie said smilingly:

"Dad, please don’t rush us! We...we’ve been really trying hard, and whether we can conceive, well, that depends on fate!"

"What fate are you talking about? Don’t play games with me, or I’ll really get mad and supervise in person. Do you believe me?"

Tang Long’s face turned red with impatience.

Which left Wu Jie utterly speechless.

My goodness!

To push for pregnancy, to personally supervise?

"Please, no! Dad, I understand how you feel, I...Xiao and I are trying our hardest!"

Wu Jie paused briefly, then asked: "If you don’t believe me, shall I wake Xiao up and let her tell you?"

"What’s there to say? We men can talk it over. Just...forget it, wake her up!"

Tang Long still couldn’t hold back.

No choice!

Wu Jie had to wake Tang Xiao up.

She was sleeping so deeply that it took several shakes before she finally woke up.

Opening her eyes, Tang Xiao saw Wu Jie sitting by the bed and immediately bolted upright.

"Jie, I missed you so much!"

The moment she said that, Wu Jie’s scalp nearly exploded.

Taking advantage of Tang Xiao’s momentary stillness, he hurriedly reminded her loudly:

"Dad’s still here!"

"Ah???"

Tang Xiao exclaimed in surprise, instantly pulling up the covers with a wary look around.

At the same time.

Despite her strong mentality, she couldn’t help blushing with shyness.

Wu Jie flipped over his phone to switch to voice chat before handing it to Tang Xiao.

Meanwhile, he couldn’t help thinking.

Father-in-law Tang Long sure has a thick skin!

Not even ending the call himself.

What’s he trying to do? Curiously watch?

"You talk to Dad yourself!"

Tang Xiao took the phone and saw that the call had lasted several minutes, not just connected.

Biting her lip with embarrassment, she almost wished she could hide under the covers, away from everyone.

"Hey dear daughter, could you speak up? How have you been feeling recently? Any signs of morning sickness?"

Surprisingly, the first to speak was her shameless father-in-law Tang Long.

Wu Jie smiled sheepishly, stood up to start eating from his lunch box.

Tang Xiao bit her lip and hesitated, then spoke into the phone:

"Dad, what’s the rush? Am I not trying?"

"Fine, just come back as soon as you can. Nabiya is too chaotic; I’m really worried about you guys getting into trouble!"

"Got it, go to sleep! Good night!"

Ending the voice call, she tossed the phone aside, and Tang Xiao let out a long sigh of relief.

She lifted her gaze to Wu Jie, who was engrossed in his meal.

"Jie, have you just come back from Baldet, or have you not left yet?"

Without even looking up, Wu Jie mumbled: "Of course, I’ve come back! Hurry up and eat; we’re going to the hospital soon!"

"Eh? What for?"

Tang Xiao was a bit confused.

"I brought Abulaxi here, he’s at Huashang Hospital, and for the specifics... let’s talk while you eat!"

Wu Jie was really hungry.

Though he had indulged in ample eating and drinking at Abulaxi’s mansion.

But the taste of that roasted camel... was just too overpowering, and heavy drinking isn’t good for your health.

Therefore, before Abulaxi’s sudden illness, Wu Jie had already induced vomiting in the restroom with the help of the system.

After flying back to Science Research City and spending a long time at the hospital, how could he not be hungry?

Though full of curiosity, Tang Xiao still carried an air of modesty and conservatism.

So she wrapped herself in a thin blanket, got up to quickly shower and change clothes before coming back.

She smelled delightful.

Wu Jie looked up and was somewhat taken aback.

They say the happier a woman is, the brighter her eyes and the more enchanting her temperament.

Those clear, captivating eyes and that subtle, elegant smile could calm a restless heart in an instant.

The serene and gentle Tang Xiao seemed to have her own special charm.

"Do I have something on my face?" Tang Xiao asked in surprise.

Wu Jie joked: "Yes, you have a beauty that can overthrow nations and is truly incomparable!"

Tang Xiao smiled coyly, "Smooth talker! How can I be as beautiful as Bai Fengling or Chu Yunxuan? I’m not young anymore, soon to be past my prime. Compared with their blooming beauty, I really can’t match up!"

Wu Jie just smiled lightly, saying no more, and continued eating.

After speaking, Tang Xiao suddenly realized she might have said something wrong.

"Jie~ tell me how you managed to bring Abulaxi here? You knocked me out and went alone, how did you come back unharmed? How did you do it? It’s unbelievable!"

Tang Xiao quickly changed the subject, her eyes full of curiosity and admiration. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Actually, it’s nothing, just used some special medicine..."

Wu Jie continued talking as he ate, and after finishing his meal, he wiped his mouth and stood up saying:

"I’m going to change clothes. Eat quickly, and I’ll take you to see Abulaxi. Just don’t act rashly; he still has a lot of value to us!"

"Rash?" Tang Xiao smiled sweetly: "Don’t worry, I won’t kill him, absolutely not!"

As she watched Wu Jie head to the wardrobe, Tang Xiao’s mind filled with doubts.

She suddenly became very curious about Wu Jie’s expertise with medication.

Could it be the reason she had not been able to become pregnant?
