"Sister, I've arrived. Why don't you stay for dinner?"
In the afternoon, Wen Xingyue was carrying a bunch of bags while shopping. Wen Lingyue rode her bicycle and dropped Wen Xingyue off at the entrance of the family compound.
They asked the gatekeeper to help them carry a bunch of things to the Huo family's house.
There were many things, and it would be difficult for Wen Xingyue to carry them all by herself.
"I'm not going to eat today, I'll come next time."
Wen Lingyue had other matters to attend to later. Madam Yan had encountered an incident at her shop, and given the Yan family's considerable influence in the capital, she had to go and check on her.
"Okay." Wen Xingyue didn't insist.
Wen Lingyue left quickly.
"Stars and Moon".
Wen Xingyue walked home with small, light steps, carrying a bunch of food in her hands, which she brought for her master.
She had just walked a short distance from the Huo family home when Huo Tingxiao, who was out to greet her, saw her. He was leaning on his cane and standing outside the courtyard gate.
Huo Tingxiao has been practicing for a while now, and he can walk for a short time. Although he can't walk for long periods of time yet, as he practices every day, he will be able to walk for longer and longer periods of time and will soon be able to return to normal.
"Huo Tingxiao, did you come out to meet me?"
Wen Xingyue's eyes lit up, and she ran towards him like a swallow returning to its nest.
"Yeah, I'm a little worried since you're still not back so late."
Huo Tingxiao caught her with one hand, and a small smile curved his lips.
[Hehe, Huo Tingxiao is so nice, he even came out to pick me up~]
Wen Xingyue's fair and delicate face was coaxed into happiness, and her eyes crinkled with laughter.
No one dislikes nice words.
Did you have fun going out today?
Huo Tingxiao accepted the pile of things handed to him by the gatekeeper, thanked him, and then went home with Wen Xingyue.
"I had a great time! My sister took me to buy lots of clothes, they're so pretty, and so many pink ones! Huo Tingxiao, the clothes in that store are so nice, let's go together next time. I bought a coat for Dad and a long dress for Mom. Mom looks good in the dress. I also bought an outfit for Little Fatty. Little Fatty has lost weight now, he'll definitely look handsome in it. I also bought an outfit for Master."
Wen Xingyue excitedly shared her day's events with Huo Tingxiao.
"Isn't there one for me?"
Huo Tingxiao listened patiently to her sharing, but after listening for a long time, he didn't hear his own voice, so he looked down at her.
Everyone else has it, but he doesn't?
Have you forgotten him?
"Yes, I did. I bought one for you too. I'm carrying it in my hand. I bought you a set, a whole set."
When the topic turned to the clothes she bought for Huo Tingxiao, Wen Xingyue's fair face flushed with a shy blush, and her clear, beautiful peach blossom eyes looked bashful.
So cute!
Huo Tingxiao looked at her flushed face and, taking advantage of his height, peered into the bag she was carrying, wanting to see what it was.
However, he was disappointed. It was just a white garment, and he couldn't see anything unusual about it for the time being. Huo Tingxiao suppressed his curiosity and decided to take a look later that night.
"Do we have guests?"
Because of Huo Tingxiao's leg, the two walked slowly. As they approached their home, Wen Xingyue heard lively sounds coming from the courtyard.
"Yes, Mr. Li's grandson has arrived and invited Mr. Li and his family to have dinner at his home."
Huo Tingxiao had called his friend earlier, but his friend was conducting experiments in a closed laboratory and hadn't been able to take leave. Upon learning that his grandfather had been found, his friend quickly applied for leave. Sure enough, the experiment was completed a couple of days ago, the leave was approved, and he quickly took the train over.
Wen Xingyue nodded to indicate that she understood.
"Big brother! Did you pick up your wife?"
Huo Tingjun, who was playing with Pei Zhiming in the courtyard, saw her older brother appear outside the courtyard and ran out.
"Sister-in-law, you're back! How was your day? Did anything fun happen?"
Huo Tingjun ran to Wen Xingyue's side to help her carry her things, staring at her expectantly, like a little dog eagerly waiting for its owner to come home.
He has to go to school recently, so he can't play with his sister-in-law anymore.
"Has the Waiting-for-Wife Stone returned?"
Pei Zhiming also came out of the courtyard, making jokes as he walked.
The two were chatting in the courtyard. The man kept glancing at his watch. Suddenly, he stood up, leaning on his cane. When asked what was wrong, he said that his wife was coming back and he needed to go out to meet her.
Pei Zhiming watched him leave.
Pei Zhiming was shocked by his words. How could such words come from the mouth of this notoriously cold-faced devil in the army?
Back when they were still in school, Huo Tingxiao had said that having a wife would be a troublesome thing, and that it would hinder his ability to serve the country. He also said that he probably wouldn't get married in the future.
Who knew that after such a short time, they got married, and now his wife is completely out of her mind.
He can't stop talking about his wife.
His brother went to pick up his wife, and he couldn't very well go with him, so he waited at home for them to return.
Now that the person has been brought back, they should at least come out and say hello.
"Sister-in-law."
Pei Zhiming looked at the woman standing next to Huo Tingxiao and greeted her.
He is a bit older than Huo Tingxiao, so he should call Wen Xingyue his younger brother and sister-in-law.
His gaze fell on the person who was looking down and searching for something. His eyes widened slightly. That petite figure? Had he taken down his brother?
Is that little guy an adult yet?
Huo Tingxiao is a beast! How could he do such a thing to someone so young?
"Xingyue, this is Pei Zhiming. Just call him Brother Zhiming."
Huo Tingxiao introduced himself to Wen Xingyue.
"Brother Zhiming."
Wen Xingyue looked up at Pei Zhiming, greeted him obediently, and smiled sweetly.
Pei Zhiming was stunned when he saw Wen Xingyue raise her hand. How could she look so much like her?
