Chapter 131
Marshal Huo thought that since so much time had passed since the annulment of the engagement, why not take advantage of his youngest daughter's first birthday party to formally establish a future for his eldest son and daughter?
In response, Huo Shaoshuai said: "My father has finally done something reliable."
Considering his father's understanding nature, he would do it secretly from now on, even if he wanted to kill Huo Jingfeng, so that Huo Jingfeng wouldn't know.
If Commander Huo knew what his rebellious son was thinking, he would definitely be moved to tears and would wave his stick to beat this big scoundrel to death!
...
On the day of the first birthday banquet, Huo Jingzhou gave his father some face by taking time out of his busy schedule to attend in person.
Of course, the more important reason he participated was for Wen Xin.
The little girl has been staying at home for several days, and he wanted to take her out for a walk.
Besides, she has always respected the old man and would certainly not miss the Huo family's first birthday banquet.
Would Huo Shaoshuai really give up her position as a male companion to some other man?
Who wants to be shot?
In the afternoon, Huo Jingzhou returned to his mansion and personally picked up Wen Xin to take her to the Huo residence.
Today, the young woman changed into an elegant champagne-colored cheongsam, adorned with peacock blue accents and lace embroidery. Her hair was styled in an updo and secured with pearl hair accessories, making her look refined, elegant, gentle, and graceful.
Standing next to the aloof and stern Marshal Huo in his military uniform, she was not overshadowed, nor did she seem like a parasitic vine. On the contrary, they complemented each other perfectly. Her gentle beauty perfectly matched the man's cold and ruthless nature. Who wouldn't say, "They are a perfect match"?
Now everyone knows that although the eldest daughter of the Wen family broke off her engagement with the second young master of the Huo family, she was immediately pampered by the young marshal Huo.
I heard that she's now living in Marshal Huo's private mansion and is practically the mistress of the house.
The once cold and aloof Marshal Huo now dotes on her, wishing he could pluck the moon and stars from the sky for her.
Even Marshal Huo often showed concern for her.
Only a fool wouldn't realize that this Miss Wen is undoubtedly the future wife of the young marshal of the Huo family.
Wow, what kind of incredible luck does she have?
Who would dare say that her breaking off her engagement with Huo Ershao was a bad thing?
It was totally worth the withdrawal!
Well, what does Young Master Huo think about his fiancée becoming his future sister-in-law?
Then, everyone saw that when Miss Wen walked into the Huo family banquet hall arm in arm with Young Marshal Huo, Young Master Huo's eyes were practically glued to her.
Huh, what's going on?
Wasn't Young Master Huo determined to break off his engagement with Miss Wen?
This incident became widely known throughout the city!
Now, what is he up to with this affectionate look?
Huo Jingzhou was enraged again by Huo Jingfeng's dishonest gaze, and his eyes turned fierce.
Commander Huo felt a chill run down his spine. He stepped forward, blocking the fool who was courting death, and smiled broadly at Wen Xin, saying, "Little Xin is here."
Wen Xin smiled and pursed her lips, "Uncle Huo."
She took out an exquisite box containing a longevity lock made of pure gold, with extremely delicate patterns, clearly showing that the person who prepared it had put a lot of thought into it.
"This is a gift for my little sister Ran. Please don't mind it, Uncle Huo and Auntie Ba."
The eighth concubine was flattered and quickly waved her hand, saying that it was no need and that the child was just a kid.
It was only after Commander Huo said, "Please accept this; it's a token of Xiao Xin's affection for her younger sister," that Eighth Concubine gratefully accepted it.
"Miss Wen."
Huo Jingfeng also came over, staring intently at Wen Xin.
Commander Huo was a little suffocated; he couldn't stop his foolish second son from courting death!
Seeing his eldest son's frozen expression, the father felt even more troubled.
He just hoped that his eldest son would give him some face as his own father and not cause bloodshed at his sister's first birthday party.
Wen Xin seemed oblivious to the undercurrents between the father and his two sons. She politely nodded to Huo Jingfeng without saying another word to him.
This eased Huo Jingzhou's expression slightly.
After tossing the birthday gift to Commander Huo, he led Wen Xin inside.
General Huo didn't care about his eldest son's arrogant behavior and was actually very glad that he had left.
Phew, at least they didn't fight. Oh no, I mean, it's good that the eldest son didn't unilaterally beat the second son to death.
Commander Huo warned his second son in a low voice, "Stop getting too close to your eldest brother. If this continues, even I can't save you, you idiot!"
When did he start hanging around Huo Jingzhou?
He's not sick, why would he provoke that living devil!
Huo Jingfeng looked at his father with a puzzled expression, then turned and stared intently at Wen Xin's back.
"Dad, why don't you let Miss Wen move back to the Huo residence?"
Commander Huo: "..." I'll just laugh it off!
"Huo Jingfeng, don't you want your eyes anymore?"
"Dad, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"Didn't I warn you? Stop daydreaming about Xiaoxin."
"Dad, Miss Wen is single right now, so anyone can pursue her, right?"
Commander Huo's eyes and mouth twitched. "Are you blind?"
Didn't you see his older brother watching over Wen Xin every day? Why is no one here?
Huo Jingfeng frowned. "Dad, why do you always swear?"
Huo Jingfeng never associated Huo Jingzhou, this cold-blooded monster, with love.
I don't believe Wen Xin can leave him behind so quickly and get together with another man.
All I can say is that the male lead is incredibly carefree and inexplicably confident, leaving people speechless.
General Huo was very distressed by this, saying, "Anyway, there's no chance for you and Xiaoxin."
"dad……"
Shut up!
Seeing that there were more and more guests, Commander Huo didn't have time to educate his silly son anymore. He asked someone to keep an eye on him and went to chat with the others.
With all the social interactions and engagements left to Commander Huo, Huo Jingzhou, having a rare moment of free time, noticed the young girl staring at the dance floor and chuckled, "Want to go dancing?"
In this era of transition, ballroom dancing is very popular at banquets.
Wen Xin used to have dance lessons at the mansion, but she was conservative and never danced with a man, but that didn't mean she didn't want to try.
She once thought her first dance would be with her fiancé.
However, she looked at the tall, handsome man beside her, her ears turning slightly red, and asked, "Brother, do you want to go?"
Huo Jingzhou raised an eyebrow, took a slight step back, bent his straight back, took her soft hand in his, and asked with a smile in his cool, magnetic voice, "Does Mr. Huo have the honor of inviting Miss Wen to dance?"
Wen Xin blushed at his sudden use of aristocratic tone.
She naturally wouldn't refuse him, and even looked forward to dancing with him.
The girl smiled sweetly and nodded gently.
Huo Jingzhou intertwined his fingers with hers with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her slender waist, leading her into the dance floor.
The commotion they made quickly attracted countless eyes.
Huo Jingfeng had just found the person when he saw with his own eyes the woman he had been longing for being held in the arms of his own elder brother...
