"Back to the Imperial City?" Yu Shanshan froze.

Yuan Long touched her hair and told her his plan: "I will go back to the army after my injury is healed. I want to take you and Dudu to the army. I am not as ease to leave you and our son here alone."

The army ......

This remark did not surprise Yu Shanshan. in fact, she secretly thought about the army. She knew that Yuan Long could not stay here forever. He's a man of the country, and his home was in the army. One day he would return to the army and could not be with her and Dudu forever like ordinary men.

Back when he wasn't here, she and Dudu were just the same way as before. But now that he's back, Dudu finally has a father. And since he is now used to his father's existence, it's impossible for him to leave his father or go on a long time without seeing him. But it's 108000 miles from the army, and if the mother and son decides to stay here, they might not see him for months. Dudu wouldn't stand it, and she can't stand it as an adult as well.

So, in fact, she was already prepared to go with him, but she was embarrassed to ask him out and waited for him to bring up the issue regarding the army someday. She didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

She had no objection to going with him to the army, but she thought they would directly go there from here, but she didn't expect to go to imperial city. That place is the starting point of her life, bearing the ups and downs of her 20 years, but it is also the place she dare not touch in her memory. She thought she would never go back.

"Why do you want to go to imperial city? Your troops aren't there? are they?" Yu Shanshan asked.

Yuan Long explained to her, "My marriage report has been approved. Grandpa received the news that we're going to get married some time ago, and he haven't seen you yet. You can't get married without letting my family know about you and Dudu, right? I have to let pops meet you. Besides, we have to go back to the emperor to get a license. If we don't get a license, what if you won't let me drive?"

Hearing the last sentence, Yu Shanshan's face turned red and her fingers could not help pinching him hard on his waist. she said, "It's not serious!"

Yuan Long's waist was full of muscles and did not feel much pain. She pinched it and he continued with a smile: "Apart from taking you and Dudu back to show Grandpa, there's another very important thing."

"Since you are going lose weight, don't try those unreliable ways, I will take you to accept professional weight loss method to ensure that you will lose weight in a healthy way."

"What?" Yu Shanshan did not even consider pinching him. She was eager to ask: "What kind of professional weight loss method? How? Where can I reduce it?"

One couldn't blame her for being so excited, because there is absolutely nothing wrong if it's finally Yuan Long who says it. If he says that he could make her lose weight, he would definitely make her lose weight and would never deceive her.

Yuan Long smiled but said nothing, he squeezed her hand and deliberately hid the information. "I'll keep it a secret for the time being, you'll know it once you get back to the imperial capital."

Yu Shanshan hit him angrily. "What's with the suspense? You want to worry me to death!"

Yuan Long looked at her with a smile. "What do you say? Do you want to go back to Imperial City with me?"

Can Yu Shanshan say no or no? Getting a license and losing weight is a big deal for her. If she can lose weight, she has to climb over it quickly.

Finally, Yu Shanshan and Yuan Long discussed the matter here for two days, and then packed up to set off for the Imperial Capital.

Yu Shanshan immediately contacted the landlord and said she would check out and move out in two days.
