CHAPTER 86: CHAPTER 86: HUSBAND AND WIFE TALK

At this moment, in a unit in Shenzhen, Mu Qiancheng and his team had just returned from a mission in the morning and were resting in the dormitory.

Lying on the bed, Mu Qiancheng was thinking about the people at home. His mind was filled with the image of Jiang Xue, her angry expression, her reluctant expression.

But what he couldn’t understand was, why wasn’t Jiang Xue writing back to him?

The day he went on the mission, he had sent the letter. It’s already been a month. Even if it came back twice, the letter should have arrived by now.

But why hadn’t he received a letter?

Mu Qiancheng couldn’t figure it out. He planned to make a phone call in the afternoon and check. Jiang Xue should be out of confinement now and capable of answering calls.

By then, he wanted to ask her properly why she hadn’t written back for so long.

Just as Mu Qiancheng was lost in thought, someone came to the dorm to notify him that he had a phone call. As soon as Mu Qiancheng heard he had a call, he leaped up from the bed and ran to the place to take it.

When he arrived, the young colleague there told him that the caller would call back in five minutes.

Mu Qiancheng nodded at the words, and didn’t think much of it. Waiting was always difficult; a mere five minutes felt interminably long to Mu Qiancheng.

Just when he was getting a bit anxious, the phone finally rang.

Picking up the phone, Mu Qiancheng directly spoke, "Hello, this is Mu Qiancheng!"

However, after he finished speaking, there was no response from the other end of the line for a while. This puzzled Mu Qiancheng, and after a moment he asked again, "Who is this, are you there?"

On the other end, Jiang Xue finally snapped back to attention and replied, "Yes, yes."

"Honey?" Mu Qiancheng was somewhat surprised to hear Jiang Xue’s voice, and uncertainly asked, "Is it you?"

"It’s me!"

Those two gentle words made Mu Qiancheng suddenly happy, and he said, "Honey, it’s really you. You’re out of confinement, right?"

"Yes, I just got out of confinement yesterday." Jiang Xue slowly relaxed and spoke more fluently. The moment she heard Mu Qiancheng’s voice, she was so nervous she couldn’t speak.

This was also why Mu Qiancheng didn’t hear anything for quite a while.

The thought that his wife was on the other end of the line naturally excited Mu Qiancheng. It had been a month since they’d seen each other, but it felt as if they hadn’t met for a much longer time.

Jiang Xue talked to Mu Qiancheng about family matters over the phone, and also mentioned the incident at the banquet where she hit Cheng Li and Mrs. Cheng.

Mu Qiancheng listened, full of worry, and asked, "Honey, were you hurt?"

"No!"

"Honey, in the future, if something like this happens, don’t go head-to-head with them. Wait for me to come back and we’ll deal with it. As for hitting people, I’ll take care of that for you in the future."

"Alright, I’ll wait for you then." Jiang Xue felt very comforted by Mu Qiancheng’s words, and a smile instantly spread across her face.

"By the way, Qiancheng, didn’t I ask you to write me a letter? Why haven’t you written me one yet?" Jiang Xue remembered the purpose of her call and asked.

"Honey, I did write. I wrote a letter the moment I got to the base, and sent it out the next day. Didn’t you receive it?"

It was only then that Mu Qiancheng realized why he hadn’t received any reply. It turned out Jiang Xue hadn’t received his letter at all.

If she hadn’t received the letter, naturally she couldn’t have replied. But when he got back, he had checked, and his letter had indeed been sent.

So why hadn’t Jiang Xue received the letter?
