Taking Care of His Widowed Sister-in-Law While Staying Faithful? I Was Reborn and Married a Commander Instead

In her previous life, Han Xinrui failed to get into university, lost her job, and was separated from her parents. She married a man who only cared about raising his sister-in-law's child. After...

Chapter 3: Give Me Back My Things

Han Xinrui slept exceptionally well that night.

In her previous life, she suffered from depression and had been awake until dawn for many years.

It feels so good to be able to fall asleep at night!

She walked out of the room and Huo Hongtao was sitting there waiting for her.

Seeing that she was up, he said directly: "Go make some porridge. Niu Niu loves the porridge you make. He had a high fever all night last night and suffered a lot. He needs to eat something light."

When Han Xinrui heard his words, she looked at Huo Hongtao with a cold and mocking look.

Huo Hongtao felt guilty and irritated by her gaze: "Han Xinrui, are you going to make trouble with me again so early in the morning? Hurry up and make the porridge, then come with me to apologize to my sister-in-law. A woman's reputation is so important nowadays. Don't do such things again in the future."

Han Xinrui suddenly burst out laughing when she heard what Huo Hongtao said.

Huo Hongtao became even more annoyed when he saw her smile, and said coldly, "Han Xinrui, if I had known you were so petty, I would never have married you."

Han Xinrui calmly replied, "Well! Then let's get a divorce!"

When Huo Hongtao heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Han Xinrui repeated word for word: "I won't hinder you from taking care of your sister-in-law and her son. We are getting divorced."

After she said this, she left without looking back.

Huo Hongtao looked at Han Xinrui's back and felt inexplicably panicked.

She...she was really angry!

Did he really go too far last night? After all, it was their wedding night.

Just when Huo Hongtao wanted to catch up and coax Han Xinrui, Bai Qingqing came over.

"Brother Huo, has Xinrui prepared the porridge? Niu Niu said he is hungry!" Bai Qingqing walked to the door and looked inside the house.

Huo Hongtao looked up when he heard Bai Qingqing's voice. "I'll go to the cafeteria and take care of things! Xinrui is still mad at me! I don't know when she'll be as gentle and sensible as you."

Bai Qingqing raised her lips slightly when she heard this. She walked over to Huo Hongtao and held his hand. "Brother Huo, I really don't know how to explain this to Xinrui so that she will believe that there is nothing between us."

Then, she said sensibly, "It's okay. If Xinrui is unhappy, I will try not to bother you in the future. After all, you are already married."

When Huo Hongtao heard Bai Qingqing's words, he immediately said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, I promised Ah Zhong! Don't say such polite words to me in the future. I can handle Han Xinrui's situation myself!"

When Bai Qingqing heard this, she smiled triumphantly: "Yeah!"

Then, she pulled Huo Hongtao and said, "Brother Huo, since Xinrui didn't cook for you, you can eat at my place! I was going to cook for Niu Niu anyway."

Huo Hongtao hesitated for a moment, and when he was about to open his mouth to refuse, Bai Qingqing said quietly, "Brother Huo, do you know why Xinrui always quarrels with you?"

Huo Hongtao frowned and looked at her in confusion.

"Because she found that making a fuss with you is useful! Whenever something doesn't go her way, she'll get what she wants by making a fuss. Just like a child, if she can get something by crying and making a fuss, she'll definitely do it again next time. Think about it, isn't that right?" Bai Qingqing said tentatively while glancing at Huo Hongtao's expression.

Huo Hongtao nodded in agreement when he heard this: "Yes, every time she makes a fuss, I give in!"

Bai Qingqing nodded: "This time, you should give her the cold shoulder and let her reflect on her own. After all, you two are married. This is not how you should live your life."

Huo Hongtao nodded in agreement: "Sister-in-law is right."

Bai Qingqing got what she wanted again and took Huo Hongtao to her own yard.

Han Xinrui went out and bought two meat buns and soy milk.

When they arrived at the gate of the compound, everyone looked at Han Xinrui with different expressions, and some of them gathered together and whispered something.
