The conversation between the two men did not affect the other couples eating at the same table.

Huo Cheng used chopsticks to remove the skin from the chicken leg in the bowl before placing the clean chicken leg into Yingyue's bowl.

Eat slowly.

Yingyue can eat raw fish, raw vegetables, and raw radishes, but she just can't eat chicken skin.

After Huo Cheng discovered this, every time he ate chicken, he would first peel the skin off the chicken leg before giving it to Yingyue.

Yingyue thoroughly enjoyed Huo Cheng's hospitality.

He held the chicken leg to Huo Cheng's mouth, letting him take a bite first.

"Yueyue..."

Huo Cheng looked at the chicken leg in front of his mouth with a helpless expression. "I'll just eat something else."

"Chicken legs are different, ah..."

She was about to stuff the chicken leg into Huo Cheng's mouth.

She even opened her mouth to indicate that Huo Cheng should do the same as her.

Huo Cheng felt helpless and a little irritated. He glanced in the direction of his parents, while Huo Guangming ate his meal like an old cadre, ignoring what was happening here.

Liu Qiuyue glanced quickly in this direction, then looked away and lowered her head, pretending not to have noticed.

The smile at the corner of her lips was a little too obvious.

Huo Cheng wasn't annoyed that his parents laughed at him.

He and Yingyue are a legally married couple with a marriage certificate, it's just that Yingyue is still young.

Thinking of this, Huo Cheng didn't refuse and took a bite of the chicken leg that Yingyue handed him.

"Is it tasty?"

Yingyue looked at him with bright eyes.

They were close together, and she smelled wonderful. It wasn't the scent of face cream, but more like the fragrance of camellias—fresh, delicate, and not overly sweet.

Huo Cheng's gaze remained fixed on her face.

Hearing this, he gave a soft "hmm".

"tasty."

"Hehe, I also think that skinless chicken legs taste the best."

Huo Cheng was recuperating at home during this time, and both Huo Guangming and Old Master Huo tried their best to get some meat and vegetables for his family.

The armed forces department also learned about this and submitted a report, instructing the guards at the retirement home to send meat to the Huo family every day.

Thanks to Huocheng, Yingyue now has a round and juicy face with fair and rosy skin.

She looked fresh and lively, a far cry from the thin and frail woman she was when she first came down the mountain.

A bright-eyed, white-toothed girl like this could easily be believed to have been raised in a wealthy family.

Huo Cheng made no comment on Shen Hui killing Du Yutao.

Don't be fooled by his patience with Yingyue, which makes him seem like a doting father to his daughter; it's only because she is Yingyue.

This would never have happened to anyone else.

His own excellence gave him enough confidence.

Moreover, he also has a very good family background to support him.

Calling him a cold and aloof young nobleman wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Yingyue wasn't interested in this matter either.

When she last saw Shen Hui, she had already told her that the seeds of her evil had been sown, and now the fruit had simply grown, and Shen Hui was reaping the consequences of her actions.

Since the two young people didn't have any particular ideas, it wasn't appropriate for Liu Qiuyue and the others to continue discussing the matter.

In short, the couple just needs to keep that in mind.

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye.

Huo Cheng received a call from Beijing.

Wu Minzhe was indeed reported, and the person who reported him was none other than one of his assistants, Zhu Guowei.

Fortunately, Huo Cheng had warned them in advance, so someone helped protect Wu Minzhe. In addition, those people did not find any useful evidence in Wu Minzhe's house. They gave him a warning and then let it go.

This was a significant blow to Wu Minzhe.

He resigned from his job at a hospital in Beijing, packed his bags, and came to the southern part of the city.

………

The last time Yingyue saw Wu Minzhe was more than a month ago when he came to the Huo family to say goodbye.

At that time, he was full of energy; although his hair was gray, his spirit remained undiminished.

To her surprise, in just over a month, Wu Minzhe had become a completely different person.

When she saw him, she wondered if there was something wrong with her eyes.

"Professor Wu?"

Yingyue rubbed her eyes, unable to understand how Wu Minzhe could have turned into this state.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was as withered as a withered tree.

His eyes were cloudy, devoid of any spirit, and his yang energy seemed to have been drained away, like a candle flame that could be extinguished at any moment.

Upon seeing Yingyue, a forced smile appeared on his gaunt face.

Yingyue quickly ran forward and reached out to help Wu Minzhe.

"Professor, what happened to you?"

Wu Minzhe waved his hand, "I'm not a professor anymore, so please don't call me that."

In just one month, due to his apprentice's betrayal and whistleblowing, he was stripped of his professorship and lost his job at a hospital in Beijing.

If it weren't for someone taking care of him, he probably wouldn't have been able to live to see Yingyue.

Yingyue helped Wu Minzhe into the Huo family home.

Although Huo Cheng already knew from his second uncle that Wu Minzhe had suffered a lot.

But when he saw Wu Minzhe in person, he was still somewhat shocked.

He put down the newspaper and told Wu Minzhe to sit down quickly.

"You've suffered."

Wu Minzhe smiled faintly, "It's not like I've suffered."

"I am already blessed by God that I am still alive to see you all."

He was worried about Huo Cheng's leg and also wanted to see Ying Yue again.

If it weren't for his unwavering faith, he probably would have collapsed during those days of interrogation...

"You can stay in Nancheng for now and don't worry about anything else, I'll take care of it."
