Chapter 169: Clarifying the Relationship (2 / 2)



Huo Zhengye really wanted to question her loudly, but when he looked into Shu Wan's eyes, he saw rejection and deliberate alienation in them, and behind the coldness was an imperceptible fear.

What is she afraid of? Or what is she hiding?

Huo Zhengye didn't ask anything in the end and left with a gloomy face.

The next day, Huo Miaoyue came in carrying a bag, muttering, "Who is it so early in the morning? He just left the things at the door and left."

Huo Miaoyue opened the bag and saw that it was full of various canned snacks.

The weight was not light. Shu Wan just came out of the bathroom. Huo Miaoyue asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know?"

Shu Wan's gaze paused on the familiar bag and her lips pursed slightly.

"Could it be that someone put it in the wrong place? This thing is not cheap." Huo Miaoyue wondered.

Huo Miaoyue was worrying about how to deal with it, and Shu Wan said, "It was left at our door, just keep it."

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll put these in the cupboard, you can take them when you want to eat them." Huo Miaoyue said with a smile, "Oh, there are hawthorns in it, sister-in-law, this is not something my cousin bought specially for you, is it?"

Huo Miaoyue put the snacks in the cupboard, put on her coat and ran out the door, "My cousin is off today, I'll go ask him."

Shu Wan nodded absentmindedly, twisting her hands nervously. What she said yesterday was a bit serious. I hope Huo Zhengye won’t be angry.

Shu Wan was worrying about how to get along with Huo Zhengye without being awkward later when Huo Miaoyue ran back panting.

"Sister-in-law, there is no one at my cousin's house. Did I remember it wrong? Isn't he taking a day off today?" Huo Miaoyue said to herself.

Has Huo Zhengye returned to the army?

Was it because of what she said yesterday? Or had he already made up his mind not to meet again.

Shu Wan was thinking absentmindedly, and then she realized that she was feeling annoyed.

For half a month, Shu Wan didn't see Huo Zhengye again.

Every time it was a weekend, Xu Yang would come with big and small bags of things.

This time, Xu Yang came early in the morning. Shu Wan's eyes fell on the back of Xu Yang. It was empty, without a single person in sight.

Shu Wan lowered her eyes, feeling inexplicably lost.

Huo Miaoyue ran out of the room and saw Xu Yang muttering, "Why are you here again? Where's my cousin?"

"Little girl, do you mean you don't welcome me?"

Xu Yang put down his things and tapped Huo Miaoyue on the forehead.

Huo Miaoyue covered her head and smiled awkwardly, "No, it's just that my cousin hasn't been back for a long time."

As she spoke, Huo Miaoyue's eyes rolled around, "It's my sister-in-law who misses my cousin. Look, she's been looking out the door."

Shu Wan was stunned. Was her expression so obvious?

"Huo Zhengye...is in the army again?"

Xu Yang nodded, "Old Huo has been training new recruits in the army recently, sister-in-law, please understand."

Huo Miaoyue complained, "I'm so busy, so busy that I don't have time to come back!"

Shu Wan held Huo Miaoyue down and forced a smile, "I understand. Sit for a while and I'll pour you a glass of water."

Shu Wan stood up and was about to go to the kitchen. Seeing this, Huo Miaoyue quickly stopped Shu Wan and said, "Sister-in-law, I can do it. My cousin asked Brother Xu Yang to bring a lot of things. You can go and take a look."

After saying that, without waiting for Shu Wan to reply, Huo Miaoyue went straight to the kitchen to pour water. The hot water was gone, so Huo Miaoyue filled a basin with water and boiled it again.

Xu Yang and Shu Wan were in the hall.

Xu Yang hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke, "Sister-in-law, have you had any conflicts with Lao Huo recently?"

Shu Wan was startled, "What?"
