Chapter 129
What kind of look is that from Young Master Huo?
No wonder Commander Huo was so angry that he beat his son up; they would have wanted to do the same.
He doesn't want such a well-educated and sensible fairy girl? Why doesn't he just go to heaven?
Ah, but they do think Miss Wen is a better match for Marshal Huo!
The two of them standing together made the surrounding air seem pink, and no one could penetrate their space.
One is aloof and the other is gentle and beautiful; they are truly a match made in heaven!
The girls are cupping their faces; they really want them to get married right there and then!
I heard that when Biancheng fell and Miss Wen was in danger, it was Marshal Huo who descended from the sky and saved her.
Ahhhh, heroes save damsels in distress, they can do it!
It seems that Young Master Huo doesn't think much of Miss Wen, and Miss Wen probably thinks even less of him.
After all, with Huo Shaoshuai Zhu Yu as a precedent, what about Huo Jingfeng? Ha!
Right? After breaking off her engagement with her younger brother, she happily married her older brother. This is... more exciting than a movie!
Warlords love thrills and excitement, right?
...
"Big Cousin!"
Ji Xiaoyu caught up and saw Huo Jingzhou gently helping Wen Xin into the car, her eyes twitching.
No matter how many times she watched it, she couldn't get used to the tender side of the living devil; it was simply terrifying!
However, no matter how much Ji Xiaoyu resented Huo Jingzhou for sending her family to prison, she was undoubtedly more afraid of him.
Thanks to her uncle's support over the years, Ji Xiaoyu lived a relatively comfortable life in Haicheng. She had neither the ability nor the courage to take revenge, and only wanted to continue living her good life.
Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for her to offend Huo Jingzhou.
Ji Xiaoyu lowered her head and explained tremblingly, "Big cousin, I haven't known Tao Ran for long. It was my second cousin who introduced us. She's sweet-talking and knows how to talk, so I became close to her."
“I didn’t expect her to offend my cousin’s wife today. It really has nothing to do with me. From now on, I promise to stay far away from her and never get in my way in front of my cousin and his wife.”
Huo Jingzhou glanced at her and coldly replied with an "Mm," his expression devoid of any emotion.
Ji Xiaoyu swallowed hard. "I...I'll apologize to my cousin's wife?"
Huo Jingzhou said calmly, "No need."
"Okay, goodbye, cousin and sister-in-law, I'm off now."
Ji Xiaoyu quickly and sensibly left.
Huo Jingzhou ignored her and got into the car on the other side.
As soon as he got into the car, he noticed that his little white rabbit's face was flushed red.
He raised his hand to touch her forehead. "What's wrong?"
Wen Xin flinched as if she'd been electrocuted, biting her red lips lightly. "Why...why don't you explain?"
Huo Jingzhou's eyes flickered slightly, feigning ignorance, "What?"
The girl stammered shyly, "Your cousin, how...how can you call me...your cousin's wife?"
Huo Jingzhou raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"
He seemed oblivious to the problem.
Wen Xin's face flushed even more under his deep and calm gaze, and she couldn't help but wonder if she was being too sensitive or making a fuss over nothing.
But this doesn't seem like a small problem, does it?
What if people misunderstand?
Seeing her fidgeting, Huo Jingzhou's eyes darkened slightly. "Have I caused you any trouble?"
Wen Xin shook her head. "I don't really mind, but it might not be good for my brother, right?"
Huo Jingzhou was speechless for a moment.
Is it bad for him?
This kind of thing obviously has a greater impact on a woman's reputation!
This innocent little white rabbit...
Huo Jingzhou chuckled lightly, "There's nothing wrong with it."
Wen Xin: "Huh?"
Huo Jingzhou said, "I never thought about marrying anyone before."
Wen Xin was stunned. "Why...why?"
People value marriage and offspring, especially men in high positions of power, such as Marshal Huo, who had many wives, concubines, and children.
Huo Jingzhou's eyes were deep and cold, and he exuded an icy aura that kept people at a distance. "I can't imagine trusting any woman enough to share a bed with me."
As a powerful warlord, Huo Jingzhou was extremely suspicious. Surrounded by danger, he never let his guard down. Trust was as thin as paper for people like him, unable to withstand any scrutiny or test.
Huo Jingzhou always keeps a gun by his side when he sleeps at night, and he will shoot anyone who gets within three meters of him.
How could he possibly let a woman sleep next to him?
Wen Xin pursed her lips, feeling the terrifying aggression of the man beside her, and her heart pounded.
She suddenly realized that this man was a living Yama, who had fought on the battlefield, struck fear into the hearts of the enemy, and whose hands were stained with countless blood.
He was never harmless; he just concealed all his sharpness in front of her.
Wen Xin placed her hand on her rapidly beating heart...
Are you afraid of me?
Huo Jingzhou suddenly moved closer to her and reached out to lift a strand of her long hair.
His fingers are truly beautiful—long, pale white with clearly defined knuckles, like works of art.
She thought these hands must be perfect for holding a pen and playing the piano; however, she knew they often held deadly weapons.
But, are you afraid?
Wen Xin shook her head without any hesitation.
Huo Jingzhou chuckled softly, his chest vibrating, which made her ear tips turn red.
"Ah Xin, don't be afraid of me, okay?"
She was the only one who wasn't afraid of him!
Wen Xin's eyes sparkled, and she nodded obediently, "No, I'm not afraid."
Huo Jingzhou stroked her hair. "Good girl."
Wen Xin looked at him and asked softly, "Brother, are you really not going to get married in the future?"
Huo Jingzhou looked at her intently. "What do you think?"
Wen Xin stammered, "How...how would I know?"
Huo Jingzhou smiled and said meaningfully, "Now you just need to stay at home and relax, understand?"
Wen Xin lowered her head, her fingers twirling the strap of her handbag, "Oh, oh."
Huo Jingzhou saw that her pretty and cute little ears were red, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
You Yuan, who was trying to keep a low profile and act as a background figure: "..."
You beast, young marshal! Is it really okay to take advantage of such an innocent young girl like this?
However, as the young marshal's lackey... oops, I mean his trusted subordinate, what else could he do besides colluding with his boss?
Back at the mansion, Wen Xin asked about Ji Xiaoyu.
She is his cousin after all. If they have to interact in the future, what attitude should she adopt?
Huo Jingzhou said nonchalantly, "She wouldn't dare to come up to you so easily. If she does come, just treat her like an ordinary guest."
In other words, without needing to get to know him well, Wen Xin roughly understood that he had no feelings for this cousin.
Huo Jingzhou paused for a moment, then briefly told her about Ji Xiaoyu's parents.
Wen Xin frowned slightly. Her first words were not to condemn or oppose Huo Jingzhou's ruthlessness towards his aunt, but to ask him with concern: "Won't she hold a grudge against you because of your parents?"
Huo Jingzhou's pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly raised his hand to pull her into his arms, a joyful laugh escaping his throat.
His little white rabbit!
He simply gave her a light hug and then let her go; Wen Xin hadn't even had time to react.
