When he mentioned marriage, Huo's mother immediately understood. "Oh, right, the man is a soldier just like you. I heard that the man's mother isn't too satisfied with her daughter-in-law, but since he's a soldier, the marriage certificate has passed the political review, so the two of them are protected by the state. Anyone who breaks a military marriage is breaking the law, and military marriages can't be dissolved."
Mrs. Huo is such a smart person.
"Mom, military marriages can't be dissolved, can they?" Wen Xingyue asked in surprise.
She didn't understand the laws and rules of the human world, so she wasn't sure whether what Huo's mother said was true or false.
“That’s right, Xingyue. Military marriages cannot be dissolved, and if someone breaks up a military marriage, it’s a crime and they’ll be locked up.”
Mrs. Huo didn't dare look into those innocent eyes, but she glared at her son out of the corner of her eye.
What a useless son of a bitch, and she still has to clean up his messes.
Military marriages are not necessarily impossible to divorce, but they are protected by national law. If the husband does not agree, the marriage is mostly not possible to divorce.
She looked at the love in her son's eyes and sighed inwardly.
Her own son had already fallen for her; how could she possibly let Xingyue leave?
[Military marriages can't end in divorce, hehe, so Huo Tingxiao and I can't be separated either, hee hee, I don't have to be separated from Huo Tingxiao, nor from my parents, nor from Little Fatty~]
Upon receiving confirmation, Wen Xingyue felt the unhappiness in her heart dissipate.
[Hmph, Aunt Wang is talking nonsense. She said Huo Tingxiao will dump me sooner or later and marry someone else. Liar! I won't listen to Aunt Wang next time.]
Wen Xingyue was not the type of person who would bring up the past with Huo Tingxiao for no reason. She was very easygoing. But when she went out today, she suddenly overheard Aunt Wang talking to the neighbor about how Huo Tingxiao would eventually divorce her.
This is also why she would go home early and run into Huo Tingxiao doing bad things.
The Huo family members' expressions darkened upon hearing her thoughts.
They knew Aunt Wang, whom Wen Xingyue mentioned. She was the most gossipy person in the compound, and her favorite thing to do in her life was to gossip about other people's affairs. It was Aunt Wang who spread the news that Tingxiao's leg was crippled.
Previously, Tingxiao herself didn't care, and what she said was true, so they didn't bother with it and didn't want to make a fuss. There wasn't a single family in this compound that she hadn't gossiped about, so there was no point in making a fuss.
But now Aunt Wang's gossip is affecting her son and daughter-in-law's relationship, which they can no longer tolerate.
Huo Tingxiao, in particular, had a frosty expression on his face.
He said the little peach blossom spirit suddenly came back today, apparently because she overheard something and was unhappy.
...
"Tingxiao?"
Wang Zhixue was somewhat surprised to see the man appear at his doorstep.
"Um."
Huo Tingxiao nodded slightly.
"Tingxiao, come in and sit down. What made you decide to come see me, Tingxiao?"
Wang Zhixue greeted them warmly.
Huo Tingxiao was the most successful person in their compound, and many of the children in the compound admired him, including Wang Zhixue.
They were both in the military and had interacted quite a bit before, so they had a good relationship.
Although Huo Tingxiao's leg injury led to a temporary suspension of his duties in the military to allow him to rest, his past achievements are undeniable. Moreover, he made a significant contribution in this mission, earning high praise from his superiors.
"No need to sit down. I just heard about something. Let's get down to business."
Huo Tingxiao shook his head. He had come out while Wen Xingyue was taking a shower, as he would be going back later.
"That's fine then. Tingxiao, what's the matter that you have to come to me in person? If there's anything you need, just send someone to tell me, and I'll come to your house to find you."
Having worked together in the military for many years, Wang Zhixue didn't care about formalities and readily agreed.
His gaze fell on the wheelchair where Huo Tingxiao was sitting, and there was regret in his eyes.
"Aunt Wang said that my wife and I will get divorced sooner or later?"
Huo Tingxiao didn't mince words. Knowing that the little peach blossom spirit was unhappy about this matter today, Huo Tingxiao made an excuse to go out after finishing his meal.
Wang Zhixue's heart skipped a beat.
His mother was a gossip who loved to spread rumors. Whenever she heard something, she would tell everyone about it. He had told her many times not to talk about things that shouldn't be said and not to get involved in things that shouldn't be involved, but his mother never listened.
He was busy with military affairs and hadn't been back to the compound for several days, so he didn't know what his mother had been up to.
Now that Tingxiao has come to see him in person, it's clear he's displeased.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, Tingxiao. My mother doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut. I'll talk to her when I get back... I'll personally go to Xingyue's house to apologize later." Wang Zhixue apologized repeatedly, feeling guilty.
He secretly resolved to discipline his mother properly when he got home.
If his mother's words were to affect the relationship between Tingxiao and his wife, that would be a serious matter.
It's not easy for soldiers to find a wife.
I'd heard that Tingxiao and Wen Xingyue's relationship had improved recently, and Wen Xingyue's personality had changed a lot; the Huo family all liked her very much.
Now that he had come to see Huo Tingxiao in person because of a misunderstanding, Wang Zhixue knew that Huo Tingxiao was truly concerned.
I felt quite relieved for him.
When friends have someone who cares about them, those friends are happy to see it.
"It's nothing, I just came to remind you that I think Aunt Wang might have misunderstood the relationship between Xingyue and me. My wife and I have a very good relationship."
Huo Tingxiao casually touched the wheelchair handle with his fingertips, his voice deep and authoritative.
His usually stern face suddenly broke into a smile, as if he had just thought of something.
"Yes, yes, I will definitely tell my mother when I get home that you and Xingyue have a good relationship."
Understanding the unspoken meaning behind his words, Wang Zhixue glanced at the reserved man and found it quite amusing.
They come to complain, but don't forget to show off a little.
Tsk tsk tsk, when have I ever seen someone with such a personality? It seems he's truly fallen for Wen Xingyue.
But thinking about Wen Xingyue's beautiful face, although Wen Xingyue is a bit spoiled, her face is really beautiful. Looking at that face every day, even the coldest heart of a friend can be melted.
Look, look, this tough guy has turned into a softie.
Once known as a cold-faced king of soldiers, he now has a soft heart.
"That's troublesome. I'll head back now. Xingyue might worry if she doesn't see me."
Huo Tingxiao smiled faintly and turned his wheelchair away.
The subtle boasting made Wang Zhixue's teeth ache.
Ugh, everyone has their honeymoon phase, pshaw, all that sticky stuff, he doesn't care.
After he left, Wang Zhixue turned and went inside. She immediately called out in a pitiful voice, "Guifang, Guifang, can you pick me up from get off work tomorrow? You haven't picked me up in so long!"
