Chapter 114

Huo Jingzhou's voice was slightly hoarse: "Hmm?"

Wen Xin was a little embarrassed and bit her red lips lightly, "Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing?"

Huo Jingzhou's cold face revealed no expression. "No."

He paused for a moment, then said, "It's very beautiful."

When he says it looks good, it's really no different from telling a soldier to "stand at attention."

But Wen Xin was still very happy. She smiled, her smile as bright as the sun, making the man even more unable to look away.

Huo Jingzhou's Adam's apple bobbed. "Come here."

Wen Xin obediently walked over and wrapped her soft arms around his.

Huo Jingzhou's eyes darkened as he watched her practiced movements, and he asked casually, "Have you been to these places before?"

Wen Xin nodded, "I've been there a few times with my father, and our family has also hosted events there."

However, she didn't really like those occasions, and she especially disliked being in such close contact with other men.

The coldness in Huo Jingzhou's eyes dissipated; as long as no wild man touched his little white rabbit, that was good enough.

He lowered his head, and the two were quite close; his breath brushed against her ear.

"If we don't like it when we go, we'll come back."

The tip of her nose carried the man's crisp, cool scent. Wen Xin's raven-feather-like eyelashes trembled gently, and her soft, white earlobes were tinged with a blush.

She tried to step back a little, but her arms were wrapped around his, and her high heels made her unsteady.

"careful."

Huo Jingzhou reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, almost pulling her completely into his embrace.

Wen Xin bumped into his chest and was stunned.

Apart from the day they first met when he hugged her, he was always extremely gentlemanly. At most, he would pat her hair like an elder, but he never did anything else that was presumptuous.

Therefore, Wen Xin only thought that in the chaos of war that day, he couldn't care less about formalities, and subconsciously forgot the wolfish look in his eyes when he first saw her.

Today, in a different setting, we had another close encounter.

Compared to the sorrow and despair of their first encounter, she now felt only shyness and unease.

She placed her hands on his chest, her cheeks flushed, "Young...Young Marshal!"

Huo Jingzhou's gaze was unfathomable. His large hand rested on her waist, and through the brocade fabric, he could clearly feel how graceful and delicate the girl's waistline was, and how soft and smooth her skin was.

He replied casually, "What?"

Wen Xin: "..."

She bit her red lips lightly and whispered, "I'm fine, could you please let me go?"

Young Marshal Huo naturally didn't want to let go.

but……

He released his arm and said seriously, "Be careful."

When Wen Xin met his cool and serious face, the awkwardness in her heart instantly disappeared.

She said shyly, "Thank you, young marshal."

The girl smiled and trusted him completely. "However, I know the young marshal will definitely catch me, so I'm not afraid of falling."

Huo Jingzhou's breath hitched slightly, and he responded with a low "hmm".

No matter what, he would catch her and never let her fall.

...

As Huo Jingzhou's female companion, Wen Xin naturally attracted attention.

Coupled with her exquisite and refined appearance, she became even more eye-catching.

She gripped Huo Jingzhou's arm a little awkwardly, but her pretty face showed no sign of it. Instead, she wore a proper and generous smile, her manners and upbringing were impeccable, and her elegant and classical demeanor made people dare not underestimate her in the slightest.

Many people are speculating about which powerful and influential person this socialite comes from.

Everyone knows that Marshal Huo held great power and had made great military achievements at a young age, but he was always cold and serious, and strangers were not allowed to approach him.

Aside from his personal guards, who has ever seen him with anyone else by his side?

Not to mention she's a beautiful young girl!

However, those who can be taken by Marshal Huo's side must have extraordinary identities, right?

Could she be the wife that Marshal Huo prepared for Marshal Huo?

I haven't heard anything about the young marshal of the Huo family in Haicheng getting married to any socialite!

Huo Jingzhou noticed the gazes those people were giving the girl. His cold, sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and his aura became even more terrifying. Those who were already afraid of him dared not approach him even more.

He looked down at the girl and said, "If you don't like it, go back?"

If it weren't for the fear that she would stay cooped up in the house, Huo Jingzhou would usually be too lazy to attend these banquets.

Well, of course, we won't mention Huo Shaoshuai's desire to take her around to assert his dominance and try to label the little white rabbit with his own name.

When Wen Xin saw the administrative head and garrison commander of Yucheng approaching, they all looked somewhat reserved, as if they were afraid of offending Huo Jingzhou.

She gently shook her head. "It's alright."

The Huo family is much larger and more powerful than the Wen family, so she'll definitely be involved in these kinds of occasions in the future, and she'll have to get used to it eventually.

Huo Jingzhou, who understood the girl's thoughts, had an inscrutable expression.

Is she working hard for Huo Jingfeng?

The old man was really blind back then. Was he really worse than Huo Jingfeng?

They actually ordered the little white rabbit for that idiot!

Commander Huo: If you're so capable, go argue with your mother!

However, Huo Jingzhou didn't stay in the dead end for too long. What's wrong with being a step behind?

Why not just take it back?

Huo Jingfeng is not qualified to compete with him!

Huo Jingzhou talked with the officials and generals of Yucheng about serious matters. Fearing that Wen Xin would be bored, he asked You Yuan to take her to get something to eat first.

With You Yuan following her, the socialites and noblewomen of Yucheng dared not approach Wen Xin, only glancing at her from time to time.

Wen Xin was happy to have some peace and quiet. She picked out a few snacks that looked good and sat on the sofa in the corner, eating and waiting for Huo Jingzhou.

You Yuan thoughtfully brought her some juice. Seeing that her gaze was fixed on the dance floor, he smiled and said, "If Miss Wen likes it, the young marshal can take you down for a dance later."

Wen Xin blinked and asked in surprise, "Does the young marshal know how to ballroom dance?"

You Yuan: "Why not?"

Wen Xin was a little embarrassed, "The young marshal looks like such a serious and proper person."

You Yuan chuckled and said, "The young marshal may look a bit cold, but when he was a teenager, he secretly built a dance hall in Haicheng from scratch, which is now the most prosperous dance hall in Haicheng."

Wen Xin's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, seemingly unable to believe that the seemingly upright and righteous Young Marshal Huo would go into running a nightclub. It was like hearing that a monk would become a male prostitute...

Pshaw, what kind of ridiculous analogy is that? Forgive me!

You Yuan wanted to laugh even more. The young marshal's image as a gentleman in front of Miss Wen was firmly established. He just wondered if Miss Wen would be so disillusioned that she would break up with the young marshal after she found out his true intentions.

Cough... We can't laugh at the young marshal!

...

Male lead: What about my storyline? I'm the male lead, and I haven't even appeared yet. Is this appropriate?

Rabbit: Ask your older brother!

Huo Jingzhou: How much money do you want to pay to remove Huo Jingfeng's scenes?

Rabbit: Ah, this...
