Chapter 139

You idiot!

If we don't let his own father hit him, are we just going to wait for his older brother to kill him?

Commander Huo closed his eyes, no longer looking at his foolish and reckless second son, and turned to ask Wen Xin how she was feeling.

Wen Xin gave him face and didn't mention Huo Jingfeng again, smiling as she said he was almost fully recovered.

When Marshal Huo saw her leaning intimately against her eldest son, he paused for a moment and then lovingly told her to take good care of her health and to treat this place as her own home.

Wen Xin softly agreed.

Seeing that his eldest son had ignored him from beginning to end, Commander Huo felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

He just didn't want to see his two sons fight each other!

Unfortunately, the second son was too troublesome, and the eldest son was as cold-hearted as an ice cave...

...

Back in the attic, Wen Xin gripped Huo Jingzhou's large hand tightly, "Brother."

Huo Jingzhou looked down at her. "Hmm?"

Wen Xin's clear eyes reflected only him, and she softly promised, "I will always stand by my brother's side."

It is true that Commander Huo relied heavily on his eldest son, Huo Jingzhou.

But as the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and Huo Shuai actually loved Huo Jingfeng the most.

Just look at how many times Marshal Huo has cleaned up messes for Huo Jingfeng over the years, and you'll know.

Huo Jingfeng dares to act so recklessly because he is protected by Marshal Huo.

Conversely, Marshal Huo's attitude towards Huo Jingzhou...

Wen Xin couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

He may hold a high position of power, but at the same time, he also bears the responsibility for the entire Huo family and the entire Nanjiang area.

Just because he's the eldest brother, just because he's powerful, does that mean we have to give way to Huo Jingfeng in everything?

That doesn't make sense!

Huo Jingzhou's eyes flickered slightly; in truth, he didn't care about Marshal Huo's favoritism.

As long as he holds power, what is Huo Jingfeng?

But the girl felt sorry for him; it would be foolish not to seize the opportunity!

He pressed his forehead against hers and whispered, "Yes, I only have Ah Xin left."

Wen Xin felt even more sorry for him.

She reached out and hugged his waist, saying sweetly, "I only have one brother, so we can rely on each other from now on."

Huo Jingzhou chuckled softly and gently kissed her red lips, his movements extremely tender and affectionate.

Wen Xin opened her almond-shaped eyes slightly, so nervous that she forgot to breathe.

Huo Jingzhou was amused by the girl's awkwardness and gently pinched the back of her neck. "Ah Xin, relax and breathe."

Wen Xin subconsciously obeyed his words, her red lips slightly parted, and then... she let the wolf into the house, her breath almost completely taken away by him.

That's just how men are; they always weave a web of gentle persuasion, and once they've lured her in, they no longer hide their true nature of plundering and forcibly taking her.

Huo Jingfeng said she didn't understand Huo Jingzhou.

That's not actually the case. Having spent so much time with him, she knew his true nature quite well—powerful, domineering, cold-blooded, ruthless, and cunning.

But so what?

She loved his unique tenderness towards her, his wisdom, foresight, pride, and sense of responsibility...

She loved everything about him!

On the sofa, Huo Jingzhou kissed the corner of her rosy lips and restrained himself as he helped her down her skirt. Even though his eyes were filled with intense desire, he did nothing more to her.

Wen Xin's body went limp as she hugged his neck, her almond-shaped eyes misty, and she called out to him in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother..."

Huo Jingzhou hugged her tightly, his breath hot. "Ah Xin, let me hold you for a bit, don't move around."

Wen Xin's cheeks flushed bright red as she obediently leaned on his shoulder.

He gently stroked her hair and promised, "You're still in mourning, I won't do anything to you, don't worry."

She loved her deceased father and was determined to observe the three-year mourning period according to ancient customs.

During this period, one cannot get married, cannot eat meat, and even married couples should avoid having sex.

Huo Jingzhou loved her dearly and naturally didn't want to put her in a difficult position, so he restrained himself from making things difficult for her.

Wen Xin was moved. After a moment, she said softly to him, "Brother, I want to go to Haicheng Central University."

"Um?"

Huo Jingzhou picked her up and let her sit on his lap.

Wen Xin leaned against him and slowly explained her plan, "I want to learn advanced corporate management theories and gradually take over the Wen family's businesses."

"The Wen family has a huge food supply chain, which should not be wasted."

She looked up at him and whispered, "With all sides fighting each other, we can't stay safe in one corner forever."

Moreover, she knew that he was ambitious and determined to reclaim all of Donghua's territory. He would never remain confined to the Nanjiang area and wait to be attacked.

Moreover, with the ghost army rampaging now, he will inevitably send troops to fight those ghostly things sooner or later.

The most important things in war are firearms and food.

The Wen family's control over the food supply chain ensured that he had no worries about the future, so how could Wen Xin give it up?

Now that she has decided to be with him, she cannot take it for granted that she can hide under his wing and only enjoy his protection.

She wanted to help him, and even more so, she wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with him!

Huo Jingzhou understood the girl's feelings in his arms, and his heart burned with intense emotion.

His deep gaze was fixed on her, so bright and intense that it made her blush and her heart race. "Ah Xin..."

Wen Xin's eyelashes trembled slightly. "W-what?"

Huo Jingzhou tightened his arms around her waist and nuzzled her cheek, "What have I done to deserve you, baby?"

Wen Xin's eyes flickered slightly, her voice as sweet as honey, "Shouldn't I be grateful to have met you?"

Huo Jingzhou chuckled and sighed, "I really wish these three years would pass quickly, baby. Grow up quickly, I really can't wait to have you."

Wen Xin blushed deeply and punched his arm with her small fist.

You old lecher!

Huo Jingzhou said quietly, "I'm twenty-seven this year, and in three years, I'll be thirty!"

Thirty years of abstinence, was it easy for Huo Shaoshuai?

Now his beloved baby is nestled softly in his arms, he can hold him but not eat him, Huo Shaoshuai is completely devoid of desire, the word "abstinence" is written all over his head!

Wen Xin: "..."

...

Although Commander Huo imprisoned Huo Jingfeng, could the male protagonist really be imprisoned?

That very night, Huo Jingfeng ran away.

I don't know how he did it, but he managed to sneak into the prisoner transport vehicle, release Tao Ran, and the two of them ran away together.

Huo Jingfeng took it for granted that if Marshal Huo wouldn't help him rescue Tao Ran, he would go himself.

He refused to believe that Commander Huo would abandon him; in the end, he would still have to clean up the mess for him.

At most, he would go back and apologize, and get a beating. It's impossible for Commander Huo to really abandon his son.

However, Huo Jingfeng had a good plan.

Unfortunately, during their escape, he, Tao Ran, and Wen Yun, who were there to meet them, ran into the Ghost Army's spies and were captured.

When Wen Xin received news about the male lead and Tao Ran from Xiao Jin, she had already returned to the mansion in Yulin District with Huo Jingzhou.
