Being gazed at with such clear and sincere eyes, even the most ruthless person would find it hard to utter a word of dissent.

Huo Cheng softly agreed, "Okay."

The old man and woman standing to the side smiled when they saw this.

So, after busying himself in the kitchen for a while, Huo Yan successfully gained a sister-in-law.

Huo Yan blinked. So fast?

"Isn't this a bit hasty, Grandpa?"

Even though his brother's leg was injured, he was still the eldest son and grandson of the Huo family. How could his grandfather just hand over the silly Taoist nun to his eldest brother like that?

Too hasty, far too hasty.

Before the old man could retort, Huo Cheng coldly scoffed, "Comrade Yingyue is my girlfriend, not yours."

Huo Yan...

He knew his brother meant to tell him that he didn't need to worry about it.

But why did these words sound like his brother was showing off?

No, does his brother think he'd steal his girlfriend?

Huo Yan glanced at Yingyue, who was leaning against his brother's shoulder like she had no bones, and couldn't help but hiss.

He would never like a woman who lacks manners and talks nonsense.

Huo Yan harbored a great deal of resentment towards Yingyue.

However, nobody cared.

After having dinner with the old man and woman, Huo Cheng took his leave.

"Yingyue just came down from the mountain, so I'm taking her to buy some clothes to change into."

Huo Cheng explained why he was leaving.

The old man nodded. "We should go buy them, and buy several more."

He then told the old lady to go to her room and get some money for Huo Cheng.

Huo Cheng refused.

"Grandpa, I have money."

Huo Cheng is a very good saver. He keeps all his money, from his childhood allowance to his subsidies after entering military academy, and his allowances and bonuses from working in the army for ten years.

His family is well-off, so he doesn't need to subsidize them. Apart from spending some money on gifts for the elders during holidays, he saves all the other money.

Last year, I injured my leg while on a mission to save my leader. My superiors visited me every few days to offer their condolences and gave me a substantial bonus.

He kept them all.

The old man didn't care about all that; if Huo Cheng didn't want it, he would give it to Yingyue.

Instead of giving Yingyue a few dozen yuan, they gave her a savings account.

There is 1,200 yuan on it.

Yingyue had never seen a passbook before, and she looked at it from left to right with great curiosity.

Huo Yan, who was still sitting at the table eating, couldn't help but snort again upon seeing this.

He instinctively opened his mouth to say something unpleasant, but was met with a glance from Huo Cheng.

Huo Yan instinctively shut his mouth!

He finally understood that in his brother's heart, he no longer held any place as his younger brother.

Huo Yan channeled his grief and anger into his appetite, burying his head in his food and eating heartily.

Yingyue glanced at the passbook, found it uninteresting, and handed it to Huo Cheng.

Huo Cheng wanted to return it to his grandfather.

The old man waved his hand, "No need, this is what your grandmother and I prepared for you. All of you siblings have one, and I'll give you one when you get married."

The Huo family has a total of five grandsons and one granddaughter. The old man and woman started preparing funds for their grandchildren to get married decades ago.

The amount of money wasn't much, but it was the greatest token of their affection that the elders could give.

Huo Cheng thought for a moment and then put the passbook away.

"I'll take it with me first, and give it to you when I get home, okay?"

He turned to ask Yingyue.

Yingyue has little desire for money. No, it should be said that she hasn't realized yet how huge a sum of money 1,200 yuan is for current consumption.

She nodded with a smile, took Huo Cheng's arm, and asked him when they were going out to buy clothes.

Pretty clothes, delicious food, and fun toys are all things she likes.

Huo Cheng could also see that Yingyue was still childish; she had no idea what dating or marriage meant.

But he wasn't in a hurry; he would take it slow.

She's already made it clear to her grandparents that if she comes to her senses and finds a man she truly wants to spend her life with, then she can let go.

Currently, Huo Cheng's feelings towards Yingyue are quite simple: he just wants to take good care of her and not let the last son of the Cheng family suffer any mishap.

The interaction between the two was more like an adult comforting a child.

It lacks the blushing, heart-pounding excitement of dating.

Yingyue, who was stepping into human society for the first time, was unaware of this.

She and Huo Cheng arrived at a department store not far from the family compound. Looking at the clothes hanging on the wall, she pouted.

Seeing this, Huo Cheng found it somewhat amusing. "What's wrong? Don't you have anyone you like?"

"Um."

Yingyue bluntly stated, "The clothes are so dark and lack vitality."

A beautiful Pixiu must be the most beautiful color to match; a wall full of black, white, and gray really doesn't arouse the interest of the little Pixiu.

Upon hearing this, Huo Cheng smiled and helped her choose three outfits: two white shirts and two pairs of black straight-leg pants.

The other one was also a white cotton dress.

Besides the clothes he was wearing outside, he also picked out a few tank tops for Yingyue, despite looking a little uncomfortable.

Sitting in his wheelchair, he pointed to the vests in the counter, asked the sales clerk to bring out five, and then turned his head to the other side.

The sales clerk found it somewhat amusing.

She had only been working there a short time, and this was the first time she had ever seen a male colleague buy a vest for a female colleague.

But the person in question stood behind the wheelchair with a bewildered expression, showing no sign of shyness or discomfort.

What exactly is the relationship between these two people?

Saying we're dating? That takes away some of the rosy, romantic vibe.

Although they are said to be father and daughter, the age gap between them doesn't seem that big.
