Fu Chen'an thought for a moment and said carefully, "General, perhaps Madam misunderstood you."
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Qianxuan asked.
"Back when this subordinate had just gotten married, this subordinate's wife treated me as if I were her enemy. After a long time, this subordinate finally understood that she thought I disliked her, all because this subordinate didn't return home for more than two months."
The moment he heard this, Lu Qianxuan's eyes widened. He tried to recall how long he had not returned home and realized that it had been more than two years.
"Did Ya'er think I disliked her and therefore never returned home?" he muttered softly. After a while, he said, "But it was because I was busy with military affairs, not because I disliked her."
Fu Chen'an lowered his head and replied, "But Madam didn't know this."
As soon as he heard this, Lu Qianxuan finally realized why his wife became more indifferent toward him with each passing year.
