Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1896: Chapter 1898: Aid Africa? Please Don’t Go

I’m going to Aid Africa!

These words were like a thunderclap, leaving Cheng Su dizzy and bewildered.

She broke away from Qi Taiguo’s embrace, looked at him in shock, wondering what he just said, where was she? Did she hear wrong?

Aid Africa?

Is it going to war?

”What did you say?” Cheng Su gripped his arm tightly, her face full of disbelief.

This was so unexpected, how could it happen so suddenly?

”I’m going to Aid Africa. I might leave right after the New Year.” Because of this, he could extend his leave until the seventh day of the New Year, a gesture from his superiors to comfort and encourage him. Aid Africa meant going to war, and if something unfortunate happened, this would be their last time together, sparing them from too many regrets.

Confirming that she hadn’t misheard, Cheng Su’s tears fell suddenly and uncontrollably, like broken beads dropping one by one.

Qi Taiguo felt heartache, hurriedly wanting to hold her in his arms, but Cheng Su pushed him away, hastily wiping her tears with trembling hands. She took a deep breath and said, ”Don’t speak yet, let me be quiet.”

This was too unexpected, catching her off guard, making it hard to accept!

She was not unaware of such things as Aid Africa. In her past life, she had seen movies and news reports. When small countries went to war, out of moral and interest considerations, nations would send troops to assist.

Isn’t there also something about sending troops to the United Nations for war or to the Middle East?

It didn’t matter where he went; it was still going to war. Qi Taiguo had participated in the Vietnam War before, hadn’t he nearly died? If Little Yu’s husband hadn’t saved him, none of this would matter now.

And now, he’s going to Aid Africa, going to war again?

”When was this decided? Did you just receive the notice?” Cheng Su asked as calmly as she could.

Qi Taiguo replied, ”Not really, I received the notice a while ago, but I didn’t tell you, afraid you’d overthink or worry. So, I kept it from you until now.”

”Keeping it until now, does it mean I won’t overthink, won’t worry?” Cheng Su sat up, her voice sharp.

Qi Taiguo also sat up, wrapping the blanket around her bare body, and said, ”Don’t get angry, be careful not to catch a cold.”

How could she not be angry? This was going to war, not something else. She hadn’t seen battle scenes with her own eyes, but hadn’t she seen them enough on TV and in movies?

That was a battlefield, filled with blood and gore, the most brutal battlefield.

But this person in front of her was going to that place, when their son was so young. If he experienced a scene like the Vietnam War again, what would she and their son do?

Cheng Su was extremely frightened, tears streaming down her face.

”Don’t cry, don’t cry.” Qi Taiguo was flustered, trying to wipe her tears, and as the blanket slipped down again, he simply wrapped her tightly in the blanket and held her in his arms, ”I beg you not to cry. When you cry, I don’t know what to do!”

Cheng Su cried silently for a long time before she said, ”Then don’t go, don’t go!”

Qi Taiguo’s arms holding her stiffened, and he remained silent.

Cheng Su’s heart sank, and she looked up at him, ”Can’t you not go? I beg you! Our son and I both beg you, can’t you not go? Hmm?”

”Susu, listen to me...”

”I won’t listen, I won’t listen!” Cheng Su covered her ears with both hands, shouting, ”I don’t want to hear, whatever grand principles, I don’t want to hear, don’t want to listen. I just want you not to go, don’t go!”

As she spoke, she continued to cry, tears streaming down her face. Qi Taiguo felt his heart breaking, knowing she would react this way.
