The next morning, Huo Haocheng went to the team and watched Ruan Shaoke train Huo Haoshen and the others. However, he did not expect that Zheng Xuyang would also come. Seeing that they could not even run a simple 5-kilometer run, he said, "You are here to train, not to enjoy yourselves. You can't even run a regular 5-kilometer run. Have you not eaten?"
Huo Haocheng looked at them one by one, their feet seemed to be tied with a thousand-pound weight, they couldn't even lift their feet to run. It seemed that they were living too comfortably now, and they had all become lazy.
"Hey, what's the big deal? Why did you suddenly decide to have them train?" It wasn't that Ruan Shaoke looked down on them, but he genuinely didn't understand. He'd never seen Huo Haocheng ask them to train before. You know, he never showed up in the team during holidays. Today, he'd surprisingly come to him early in the morning and even asked him to train Huo Haoshen and his group. He really didn't understand.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just about Zheng Xuyang's family... Ruan Ruan and I both felt that they've been living too comfortably and have started to disregard the consequences. So we thought we'd take this opportunity to punish them and teach them a lesson."
Huo Haocheng recounted what had happened to these people while they were away, including how Ruan Ruan had wanted to punch them.
"So, what you're doing is actually more about fulfilling what Ruan Ruan said—giving them a few punches, right?"
From Huo Haocheng's words, Ruan Shaoke learned the whole story. However, based on his understanding of Huo Haocheng, this matter did not cause any real harm. Moreover, Zheng Xuyang, who made the final decision, had always been very clear-headed. Therefore, the mistake they made this time could be said to be not big. However, seeing the people crawling weakly past them, Ruan Shaoke understood that this was entirely to fulfill his wife's wish!
Seeing that Huo Haocheng didn't object, Ruan Shaoke felt he couldn't bear to watch any longer. Even though Ruan Ruan was his sister, he didn't spoil her like this!
"Hey, aren't you afraid that once Huo Haoshen and his brothers come to their senses, they'll come after you?"
Ruan Shaoke thought for a moment, looking at the few people who were still running laps desperately, could they really beat Huo Haocheng?
"Ha, let them try!" Huo Haocheng felt like he had heard a joke. Looking at the people in front of him, he didn't think much of them, but they wouldn't dare to do it even if they had ten times the courage.
Ruan Shaoke glanced at the confident Huo Haocheng, then at the group of people who were exhausted but dared not stop. Well, they really didn't dare; he was overthinking it.
Huo Haocheng knew what he was thinking, but didn't explain further. He glanced at his watch; it was already 7 o'clock. He said to Ruan Shaoke, "Alright, it's getting late. I'll head back now. You keep an eye on them. Let them go home after another half hour of training. After all, they all have to go to work."
One hour of training each day is enough. There are two pregnant women at home, and we can't overtrain them. Otherwise, we'll have to find someone to take care of them, which is too much trouble. Besides, if we overtrain them, they'll have to take leave and rest at home. Knowing Ruan Ruan's personality, he'll even give them paid leave. His wife will have to go back and help them with their work. In the end, he'll be the one who suffers. So, people only need to be trained appropriately.
After saying that, he ignored what Ruan Shaoke said and went back on his own.
Shortly after he left, Bai Sirui brought breakfast for the two of them.
"What's wrong? Why isn't Huo Haocheng home sleeping in with his wife this morning? What's he doing here acting crazy?" Bai Sirui asked Ruan Shaoke, handing the bag to her with a hint of annoyance.
It's no wonder they thought Huo Haocheng had gone mad. His actions today were truly incomprehensible to them. He was usually nowhere to be seen on his days off, but today, for the first time ever, he came to find them. How could they not be curious?
"It's nothing much, just about the Zheng family in Haicheng. I was teaching them a lesson while also satisfying his wife's wishes," Ruan Shaoke explained simply. As for the reason for the scolding, he didn't elaborate. Why should a grown man know so much?
Bai Sirui understood, took a bite of his bun, and looked at the few people still slowly crawling along. "How long will they train?" Looking at them, he didn't need to ask any more questions; he understood one of the reasons why Huo Haocheng wanted to train them.
After finishing a steamed bun and taking a sip of soy milk, Ruan Shaoke slowly said, "Huo Haocheng made them train until 7:30, saying they still had to go back to work!" Without even thinking, it was clear that Huo Haocheng, that bastard, had no good intentions.
Upon hearing that they would be training until 7:30, Bai Sirui went to the office and brought out two chairs. "Sit down for a bit, there are still 20 minutes left."
The thought of Huo Haocheng leaving his wife alone here while he went back to be with her made Bai Sirui think that Huo Haocheng was a hypocrite, pretending to be in charge while actually being in charge. He thought that if he really angered Huo Haocheng that day, he would call his brothers and beat him up.
On the other side, after leaving Ruan Shaoke's sight, Huo Haocheng ran back directly. When he left, he took the two children to his third aunt's room to sleep, so that the two children would not wake up and disturb Ruan Ruan's rest.
When he got home, his third aunt had just finished making breakfast. Seeing him return, she told him to wake Ruan Ruan up. "Haocheng, wake Ruan Ruan up and have her breakfast before you go to sleep." She didn't say anything more. They had all been young before, and the young couple hadn't seen each other for so long, so it was normal for them to stay up late at night.
Hearing his aunt's words, Huo Haocheng tiptoed into the room and saw his wife sleeping soundly with his pillow in her arms. If he wasn't worried about her going hungry, Huo Haocheng wouldn't have disturbed her rest. As usual, he first gently called her name in her ear, and when she didn't respond, he lowered his head and pecked her lips a few times. In return, Ruan Ruan slapped Huo Haocheng across the face. Then he heard Ruan Ruan murmur, "No more, I'm so sleepy."
It wasn't until Ruan Ruan fell asleep again that Huo Haocheng realized he had been beaten; it seemed he had been too rough with her last night.
Helpless, Huo Haocheng could only rub his face and go out, afraid that if he shouted again, he would get slapped on the other side of his face as well.
"Third Aunt, leave some for her. We'll eat first and let her sleep a little longer." Huo Haocheng said as he went to get a bowl and divided out his wife's portion. Fortunately, it was August, and the millet porridge was just right to eat when it was cold.
Wang Qun looked at the slap mark on Huo Haocheng's face, but just buried his head in his food and didn't seem to care at all.
