Chapter 130
Before she could shyly question him, Huo Jingzhou apologized first: "I'm sorry, I was abrupt."
Wen Xin... what can Wen Xin do?
Of course I forgave him!
This wasn't the first time they'd hugged.
Wen Xin shook her head; she wasn't that petty.
Huo Jingzhou suppressed a laugh, his heart melted by the cuteness of the little girl in front of him.
He answered her earlier question, "Ji Xiaoyu resents me, but she fears me even more."
The girl said in a soft, sweet voice, "As long as she doesn't harm my brother, that's fine."
Wen Xin, seemingly lost in thought, suddenly comforted him, "Brother, don't overthink it. Every family has a few strange relatives. Look at me, I have some too."
This refers to Wen Yun and her daughter!
Huo Jingzhou was absolutely charmed by this little girl.
However, when Wen Yun and Tao Ran were mentioned, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He patted the little girl's hair and praised her, "You did very well today."
However, she still has too good a temper.
Despite Wen Yun and Tao Ran's blatant offense, she patiently reasoned with them.
Xiao Jin: "!!!"
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that's truly terrifying.
The master was clearly stabbing Wen Yun and her daughter in the heart and lungs, almost skinning them to pieces and trampling them on the ground, yet the male supporting character was still good-tempered.
So what constitutes a bad temper? Does it mean she went up and grabbed the hair of the mother and daughter and started slapping them?
But in that case, is the male supporting character sure he won't feel sorry for his master for hurting his hand?
Hmm, so whatever the master does is good, whatever he does is right, and all the faults are Wen Yun and her daughter.
To let Huo Jingzhou know what Xiao Jin was thinking, he would have to give it an affirming look.
That's right, that's exactly what Huo Shaoshuai thinks!
Xiao Jin covered her face: This is outrageous!
Wen Xin blushed slightly and stammered, "I thought you would think I was being aggressive!"
What are you thinking about?
Huo Jingzhou tapped her forehead. "Do you think I would help outsiders but not you?"
Wen Xin looked at him with bright almond-shaped eyes and smiled sweetly, "Yes, brother is the best."
Huo Jingzhou's thin lips curved slightly, "From now on, you should be like this and not let yourself be bullied outside."
Wen Xin nodded obediently, "I understand, brother."
Huo Jingzhou then instructed the little white rabbit, "You can tell me anything. Remember, I'm here for you."
Wen Xin's heart skipped a beat again. "Okay, okay!"
Young Marshal Huo rewarded the obedient little rabbit with a head pat.
...
Wen Xin settled down in Huo Jingzhou's private mansion.
She was a sheltered young woman in the past, and now that she is in mourning, she has little interest in going out or socializing.
Huo Jingzhou has a large library with a vast collection of books, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.
Ever since he first took her in there, Wen Xin wanted to stay there forever.
This often left Huo Shaoshuai feeling helpless, as the little white rabbit was more interested in those books than in him.
However, Huo Jingzhou repeatedly instructed her that she could read books as she pleased, but she must eat three meals a day on time and remember to rest.
He controlled a vast warlord force, and his official duties were particularly busy. In addition, with the warlords fighting each other and the Ghost Army eyeing the area, local skirmishes broke out from time to time...
Huo Jingzhou had to coordinate all of these things, and sometimes he was so busy that the lights in his study stayed on all night.
During the day, Wen Xin rarely saw him.
No matter how busy Huo Jingzhou was, he would always make time to come back and see her every day, and have a meal with her whenever he had free time.
When he was too busy, Huo Jingzhou would call back to say a few words to her and ask about her life at the mansion, just in case he didn't take good care of her or let her suffer any grievances.
Wen Xin was practically pampered and protected by him, how could she not be good?
Moreover, everyone in the mansion, from Aunt Qin down to the servants, revolves around her all day long. If she even frowns, they get extremely nervous. Who would dare to let her suffer any injustice?
Huo Jingzhou was worried that she would get bored at home, so he arranged a car and personal guards for her so that she could go out for a walk whenever she wanted, and even have a tea party at home if she wanted.
But Wen Xin really wasn't interested in these things; when she wanted to go out, she just wanted to buy him things.
Young Marshal Huo: "..."
What to do if your future young wife always wants to spend money on you?
Yes, the young marshal is truly experiencing both pain and pleasure!
You Yuan: "..."
Young Marshal, have you no shame?
Damn, I'm so envious I could cry!
Why doesn't he have a pretty, well-behaved girl who is willing to spend money on him?
Waaah, so many different people in the same world!
...
Wen Xin lived a fulfilling and peaceful life in Haicheng. She often felt as if she had returned to the Wen family mansion before it was massacred, and that she was still her father's darling, living a carefree life.
She left the Wen family and lost her father, but she gained Huo Jingzhou, who protected her and provided her with a warm and safe haven in this chaotic world of war.
Whenever she thinks of him, Wen Xin's heart races uncontrollably, a sweet warmth flowing through her heart, making her involuntarily immerse herself in it, and she becomes increasingly inseparable from him.
Wen Xin knew she shouldn't have done that.
But he is just too good, too good.
Wen Xin couldn't imagine her life after leaving him, nor did she want to leave.
He said he didn't want to get married. If she doesn't get married either, can they just stay together and depend on each other forever?
If Huo Shaoshuai knew what the little white rabbit was thinking, he would definitely have another heart attack.
He didn't want to get married in the past, not now!
The young marshal really wants to get married now, and wants to completely bring the little white rabbit into his territory, and completely label her as his!
However, Little Rabbit is currently in mourning, and Huo Jingzhou respects her. Otherwise, if he had taken her back to his own wolf den, would he still be a gentleman? He would have already taken advantage of her thoroughly, and they could have held several weddings already.
Now... the young marshal sighed inwardly.
I don't want my little white rabbit to have any resentment or regrets; I want their marriage and future to be beautiful and fulfilling.
Therefore, what else can Huo Shaoshuai do besides endure it and continue to be a vegetarian?
After more than half a month of peaceful coexistence, it was time for Marshal Huo's youngest daughter's first birthday celebration.
Marshal Huo had a daughter late in life and doted on her. He planned to hold a grand first birthday banquet and invite celebrities from all walks of life in Haicheng to attend.
Wen Xin was naturally among those invited.
During the two weeks she spent in Haicheng, Marshal Huo frequently called her to ask if she was settling in well and if she needed anything. He would also invite her to his residence for meals from time to time.
Wen Xin respected this elder very much, and always answered him obediently. She often prepared small gifts herself and asked Huo Jingzhou or Aunt Qin to deliver them to Marshal Huo.
Commander Huo was very touched by this and grew to like Wen Xin even more.
That rebellious son is really brainless. He actually rejected such a lovely girl. He'll regret it to death!
The eldest son, however, had the same sharp eye as always, and had already snatched the young girl to his side and kept her close.
Well, it's all in the family, since they're all his daughters-in-law.
