Chapter 126
Huo Jingzhou has an extremely regular schedule, getting up at five o'clock every morning without fail.
He usually lives in the military camp, and every morning he will take a tour of the camp and do morning exercises with the soldiers.
He stayed at the mansion last night, but went to the military camp early this morning. He only mentioned to Aunt Qin that he would be back in a while, because he was worried that the little girl would feel uneasy if she couldn't find him when she woke up.
Hearing that she had waited for him, Huo Jingzhou's expression softened even more. He told her, "Eat first when you're hungry. Sometimes the military camp is busy, and I may not be able to get back for meals on time."
"Young Marshal, if you're too busy, just focus on your business. Don't worry about me, and don't come back to keep me company. I'm doing fine here."
The girl's snow-white hands were folded in front of her, and she looked up at him with her almond-shaped eyes as soft as water, gentle and obedient.
"If you want to come back, I will definitely wait for you, no matter what time it is."
Huo Jingzhou was touched by the little girl's kindness, and a faint smile appeared on his thin lips. How could he bear to refuse such a heartwarming girl?
He raised his hand, gently touched her hair, and agreed.
Wen Xin smiled softly, looking very happy.
She felt that the young marshal was getting better and better, and that he was both caring and respectful towards her.
“Ah Xin.”
When he called her by her given name, his voice was low and magnetic, as if hiding a hint of tenderness.
Each time, Wen Xin's heart skipped a beat, and the tips of her ears turned red. "W-what?"
Huo Jingzhou said, "Didn't you say you considered me your older brother?"
Wen Xin looked at him and said, "Yes, yes."
Huo Jingzhou's thin lips curled slightly: "Still calling me Young Marshal?"
Wen Xin's thin face flushed red. "Then... what should we call you?"
Huo Jingzhou leaned slightly forward, meeting her gaze. "What do you think?"
Wen Xin: "..."
Jingzhou? No way, that's too disrespectful, and also a bit too... that!
"Brother Jingzhou," she said, covering her face, which only fueled the imagination.
Or, "Brother?"
Huo Jingzhou raised an eyebrow, his smile deepening. "Good boy!"
Wen Xin's face turned bright red.
...
After breakfast, Huo Jingzhou, worried that she would be bored at home, took her out for a stroll around Haicheng.
Huo Shaoshuai, who had never been in a relationship with a girl before, was at a loss as to where to take the young lady to play.
Yu Yuan, that cunning strategist, quickly offered advice to his young commander.
Girls definitely love clothes, jewelry, cosmetics, perfumes, and the like. It's definitely the right thing for the young marshal to take Miss Wen shopping.
Although Huo Jingzhou thought the strategist was unreliable, Wen Xin had just arrived in Haicheng and should indeed buy more clothes and supplies.
Huo Jingzhou took Wen Xin to the largest shopping mall in Haicheng.
Nowadays, most buildings are only three stories high, but this Xintiandi shopping mall is five stories tall.
It is said to be one of the landmark buildings of Haicheng.
The mall is spacious, with shops arranged in a circular pattern and spiraling with the staircase. The atrium is open, and from below, you can see exquisite dome murals.
Such a large shopping mall is extremely rare in this era, especially in China. Those who can afford to shop here are all either very rich or very powerful.
Wen Xin admired the modern shopping mall for a moment, then pulled Huo Jingzhou to a men's clothing store.
She looked at the handmade suits and Zhongshan suits in the store, her almond-shaped eyes brightened, and she picked up a set to compare with Huo Jingzhou.
"Brother, do you want to give it a try?"
Huo Jingzhou: "..."
Before he could answer, Wen Xin picked up several more sets, saying, "Although my brother always wears military uniform, he can't be without these everyday clothes."
She thought for a moment, then took out a stack of banknotes from her handbag and said to the shop assistant, "Except for those few styles, make two of each style according to my brother's measurements."
Huo Jingzhou: "!!!"
The shop assistant was even more bewildered than Huo Shaoshuai.
She certainly knew Huo Shaoshuai, but what she didn't know was who this beautiful young woman was who casually threw out a stack of silver notes and was so extravagant that she almost bought out their entire store.
Why is she allowed to call Huo Shaoshuai "brother"?
Why is she so rich?
You know, when these two walked in, the shop assistant thought it was a script for "The Domineering Young Marshal Spoils His Little Wife". But what's with the little wife spending a fortune for the domineering young marshal?
The shop assistant is a lemon, not a lemon Wen Xin, but a lemon Huo Shaoshuai.
She also longs for a beautiful young lady who would readily give her a stack of silver notes!
The sales clerk barely maintained her professional demeanor, saying, "Dear customer, it may take more than a month to reorder so many styles."
Wen Xin was very easy to talk to. "The fabric and workmanship must be the best; everything else is not a problem."
The shop assistant almost cried out in disbelief: "Miss, would you like a leg charm?"
"Okay, we will do our best to serve you."
Wen Xin paid the bill with great satisfaction and even gave the shop assistant an extra hundred silver dollars as a tip.
Shop assistant: "..." I'm so happy I'm going crazy!
Who wouldn't love such a generous young lady?
Huo Jingzhou, who didn't get a chance to speak the whole time: "..."
Wen Xin pulled Huo Jingzhou along, "Brother, let's go buy ties and shoes, um, and watches and cufflinks too. Oh, and brother, do you wear perfume?"
Huo Jingzhou: "..."
Who should be buying things for whom?
And what kind of perfume does a grown man like him use?
Huo Jingzhou pulled the little girl back and rubbed his temples. "The mansion has plenty of these things, don't buy them."
Upon hearing this, Wen Xin's face instantly fell, looking as dejected as a flower battered by frost.
Huo Jingzhou found it both amusing and exasperating, "Why are you unhappy that I'm not letting you spend money?"
The little girl puffed out her cheeks, looking so adorable it was heart-melting.
"But I just want to spend money on my brother!"
Huo Jingzhou's eyes were filled with laughter, "Ah Xin, you're making your brother... lose face."
Wen Xin tilted her head, not understanding why he said that.
Huo Jingzhou shook his head; she was still an innocent little girl.
He took her hand and led her to a cheongsam shop, instructing her, "Don't try to pay me back later."
Wen Xin, who was about to take out another stack of silver notes, was speechless.
But she really has so much money!
Before coming to Haicheng, her wet nurse packed her a suitcase full of silver notes and a wooden box full of silver dollars.
If she doesn't spend it, what's the point of keeping it?
Well, this amount of money is nothing to the Wen family.
Beneath the Wen residence lies a secret chamber filled with various gold and silver jewels and precious antiques.
Wen's father also told Wen Xin that there was a treasure city beneath their family's ancestral mausoleum, containing wealth accumulated by their ancestors over hundreds of years.
In the story, that silly girl gave all the soul fragments to Huo Jingfeng.
After being captured by the Ghost Army, the protagonist, in order to survive, bribed the Ghost Army with the Wen family's treasure, which led to the destruction of the Wen family's ancestral tomb and the removal of countless priceless antiques overseas.
How can such trash become a hero in the Heavenly Dao storyline?
That's absolutely ridiculous!
In this life, even if Wen Xin were to throw all her gold and silver jewelry into the lotus pond in Huo Jingzhou's mansion and hear the sound, she would never give Huo Jingfeng a single penny!
Not only that, she will definitely ruin Huo Jingfeng's reputation and make him regret being born.
