Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg

Chapter 1124: Joining the Disaster Relief Effort

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Jiang Xue sitting on the sofa waiting for him, and couldn’t help but feel a pang of concern. He walked over to her and said, "Xue’er, why aren’t you asleep yet?"

"Waiting for you!" Jiang Xue replied, then stood up and asked, "Have you had dinner? There’s some food left for you in the kitchen, let me heat it up for you."

"No need, I’ve eaten." Mu Qiancheng shook his head and then pulled Jiang Xue into his embrace, saying, "Xue’er, if I come home late in the future, you don’t have to wait for me."

"Alright!" Jiang Xue nodded, but she had her own plans in mind. No matter what, as long as Mu Qiancheng didn’t say he wouldn’t be coming back, she was definitely going to wait for him.

"Are you tired? Let’s go back to the room!" Mu Qiancheng glanced at Jiang Xue and then held her as they walked to the room. Normally, Jiang Xue would be asleep by ten o’clock.

But tonight she waited until it was so late; it would be strange if she wasn’t tired. Even if she was exhausted, once she saw him come home, she would fight off her fatigue to make food for him. If Mu Qiancheng said he wasn’t moved or didn’t feel sorry, that would be a lie.

Precisely because he felt sorry, he didn’t want his little wife to suffer so much. He hoped she could rest early, instead of staying up late waiting for him.

They returned to the room, and Mu Qiancheng pushed Jiang Xue onto the bed, then said, "Xue’er, you sleep first, I’m going to take a shower."

Jiang Xue was indeed a bit tired, so she nodded and lay down directly on the bed. Watching her settle down, only then did Mu Qiancheng go to shower.

He always showered quickly, so he came out in just a few minutes. Jiang Xue hadn’t fallen asleep yet, and upon seeing him lying down beside her, she immediately asked, "Qian Cheng, why did you come back so late today, did something happen?"

To be honest, Jiang Xue was a bit worried that Nangong Chen would cause trouble for Mu Qiancheng. After all, when Nangong Chen came to their home this morning, she didn’t show him a friendly face and didn’t even let him in the door.

This directly slapped Nangong Chen’s face, and if he wanted revenge, Mu Qiancheng would be the first to bear the brunt.

"There were some matters at school that delayed me." Mu Qiancheng knew Jiang Xue was worried about him, so he didn’t hide anything and said directly, "Didn’t you see the news yesterday? Southern flood disaster, the school is discussing whether to participate in the relief efforts."

"Did the discussion yield any results?" Jiang Xue asked. This was her greatest concern. To be honest, she didn’t want Mu Qiancheng to go there at all, but if he really had to go, she wouldn’t stop him.

The orders from above must be obeyed by Mu Qiancheng. When the time comes, she can only support him, rather than holding him back.

"It did, the school will submit the application and then wait for approval from above. If the approval comes through, we will have to head to the disaster area."

Thinking about the possibility of going to assist in the disaster relief, Mu Qiancheng felt guilty towards Jiang Xue. Because Jiang Xue traveled thousands of miles to Beijing just to reunite with him, yet she had only been here a few days, and he might have to leave.

"How many days does the approval take?" Jiang Xue suppressed her inner emotions and asked softly. Today she had just made dozens of anti-inflammatory medications; if there’s enough time, she would like to prepare more other medicines, such as hemostatic drugs and vaccines against epidemics.

"Fastest is one day, slowest is three days." Mu Qiancheng told Jiang Xue the timeline, and then reached out to hold her shoulder tightly, saying softly, "Xue’er, I’m sorry!"

Sorry that I can’t stay with you all the time!
