Chapter 145
It was Xiao Jin who told Wen Xin about the second concubine's drowning.
Wen Xin was reading a book in her hand, without even lifting her eyelids.
Little Gold flapped its wings and asked, "Master, you didn't do what happened to the second concubine, did you?"
Wen Xin raised an eyebrow slightly, "You may not have a big head, but you certainly have a big imagination."
Xiao Jin: "..."
The owner is scolding it, right?
However, Wen Xin no longer cared about it, because Huo Jingzhou had returned.
As she approached him, she saw that he was followed by another person, a woman wrapped in a coat.
"Wet nurse".
Wen Xin exclaimed in surprise.
"Miss!"
The wet nurse, her eyes red, held Wen Xin's hand tightly and choked out, "Miss, you've grown a little taller and fuller, and you look radiant."
Wen Xin's eyes flickered slightly. "Yes, I'm fine. Where's the wet nurse?"
The wet nurse nodded repeatedly: "Good, good, everything is fine. The people left behind by the young marshal are taking good care of me."
Wen Xin couldn't help but look at the handsome man beside her, wanting to say thank you, but why should they thank each other?
Huo Jingzhou gently put his arm around her shoulder and said softly, "Haicheng is safe now. Didn't I promise you that I would bring your wet nurse to stay with you?"
He never broke his promise to her!
Wen Xin leaned softly against his chest, her voice sweet and gentle, "Brother, I'm really happy."
Huo Jingzhou's eyes were filled with tenderness and affection. He would do anything to make her happy.
The wet nurse looked at them with a relieved smile, clearly already knowing that her young mistress had broken off her engagement with Huo Jingfeng and become a couple with Huo Shaoshuai.
The wet nurse expressed her full support for the young lady's decision, saying that Huo Shaoshuai was far superior to that scoundrel Huo Jingfeng.
Later, Wen Xin suddenly remembered something and suspiciously probed her nanny, not forgetting how the nanny had previously encouraged her to get close to Huo Jingzhou.
Could it be that the wet nurse had been planning to have her find a different fiancé all along?
The wet nurse stared blankly at her young mistress.
Wen Xin: "..."
Okay, she understands now. The wet nurse is just simple-minded and carefree!
...
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Wen Xin has already graduated from school, and she has taken over all of the Wen family's businesses, which are developing very well under her leadership.
She also regained control of the grain supply chain in Nanbeijiang and reached cooperation agreements with other major international grain traders to ensure domestic grain supply, especially for frontline soldiers.
For the past three years, the land of Donghua has been engulfed in war.
The demon army revealed its true colors, launching a massive invasion and occupation of their land, and massacring their compatriots.
Huo Jingzhou had lost count of how many times he had fought against them.
The Ghost Army had been trying to suppress and weaken him, and adopted a strategy of encirclement, attempting to occupy the land around Nanjiang and starve Huo Jingzhou to death.
The first group they targeted was the Dai family warlords of Beijiang.
However, neither the Ghost Army nor the Dai family expected that Huo Jingzhou would take a detour, attack from behind the Dai family, directly occupy their main transportation route connecting them to the outside world, and swiftly seize nearly one-third of Beijiang's land in a blitzkrieg.
The Dai family and the Ghost Army cursed "fuck" countless times!
Huo Jingzhou is an extremely insidious and despicable person, yet he has such a serious and righteous face!
However, who cares about fairness and morality on the battlefield?
Nanjiang has a long coastline, Huo Jingzhou's navy is extremely powerful, and there's also that young lady from the Wen family who helps him handle international trade in grain and firearms at any cost...
This is not just adding wings to a tiger, it's a powerful combination that will make them invincible!
Why don't they have such a wealthy and capable wife?
Why is Huo Jingzhou so lucky? They're not convinced!
Who was it that said the eldest daughter of the Wen family was timid, useless, and unable to shoulder the responsibility?
Can the person who said that take a good look at themselves first?
Moreover, it is unknown how Huo Jingzhou united other Donghua forces besides the Dai family. Those people actually put aside their grudges and cooperated with him to launch a full-scale war against the Ghost Army, causing the Ghost Army to suffer repeated defeats.
Although the flames of war are still spreading, the dawn of victory is not far away!
...
Recently, while the global situation has been turbulent, the domestic war situation has seen a complete reversal in terms of offense and defense.
Before the full-scale counter-offensive began, Huo Jingzhou returned to Haicheng to visit his fiancée.
In recent years, amidst the flames of war, they have been separated more often than together.
Huo Jingzhou felt very guilty about this.
Wen Xin, on the other hand, was very open-minded and often comforted him, saying that once the war was over, they wouldn't have to worry about not having time to be together.
Besides, she's not a parasitic plant that can't live without people.
Huo Jingzhou gave her complete trust and power. Over the years, she could be said to be the highest administrative official in the Nanjiang area, holding the fort for him and allowing him to focus on his work without worry.
Now, Wen Xin's status is no lower than Huo Jingzhou's, and she even firmly controls his lifeline.
Some people have joked that if Marshal Huo were to betray Miss Wen, she could kick him off his horse in a heartbeat and install a docile young man in his place.
While it may be a bit of an exaggeration, it does demonstrate just how terrifying the power Wen Xin currently wields.
But Huo Jingzhou willingly handed this over to her!
"People outside are saying that Ah Xin can find me a younger brother anytime? Hmm?"
The two were reunited after a long separation, their passion burning like dry wood... cough, well, they haven't even had a wedding yet!
Huo Jingzhou looked at the girl beneath him, who was dazed from his kisses, his dark eyes deep and his thin lips curving into an enigmatic smile.
Wen Xin opened her beautiful, watery eyes, looking utterly innocent.
What younger brother?
Her father only had her as his son, but what about his younger brother?
The troublemakers are all dead, and the rest are all behaving themselves!
Wen Xin wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes filled with seductive allure, "Brother, when did you start parroting what others say?"
Huo Jingzhou's Adam's apple bobbed, and his cold, white fingers pressed against her waist, igniting a spark.
"Hmm? Isn't this because Ah Xin is worried that her brother is too old?"
Wen Xin trembled slightly, thinking to herself: Are you worried looking at me like that?
He was clearly taking every opportunity to harass her!
Huo Jingzhou's smile deepened as he lowered his head to kiss her, his deep, magnetic voice captivating, "Ah Xin is getting smarter and smarter, your brother must reward you."
Wen Xin bit her lip lightly and pushed his shoulder, "It's still daytime!"
Huo Jingzhou didn't care about the time; he drew the curtains, and the room instantly went dark.
It just so happens that both of them have the day off today. With the perfect timing, location, and circumstances, would Young Marshal Huo still be a man if he held back?
He had been thinking about it for three whole years, and now even if the sky were to fall, nothing could stop him from eating the little white rabbit!
Wen Xin: "..."
So, what was the purpose of his taking time out of his busy schedule to come back this time?
Could this man be any more indecent or beastly?
Huo Jingzhou's dark eyes were fixed on the delicate girl. Her skin was as white as snow and her waist was as slender as a willow. She was breathtakingly beautiful. Who wouldn't be captivated by her?
The little white rabbit is becoming more and more charming. How can one feel at ease if he doesn't completely make her his?
If it weren't for the tense situation on the front lines, he would have returned the very day her three-year mourning period ended...
Huo Shaoshuai has already suffered enough by enduring this long!
Therefore, today, he must do what should have been done three years ago!
Wen Xin: "!!!"
Huo Jingzhou held the soft, water-like girl in his arms, gently and teasingly nibbling her jade-like earlobe, "Tell me if you feel unwell."
Wen Xin's pretty face flushed crimson, but her hands slowly clung to his shoulders.
In the midst of their passionate embrace, Huo Jingzhou chuckled and whispered in her ear, "Ah Xin, let's get married after the war is over!"
Wen Xin bit her lip, rendered speechless by his contradictory tone and behavior.
She weakly punched his arm.
If she doesn't marry him, who else can she marry?
Huo Jingzhou laughed and hugged her tightly, their bodies becoming even more intertwined and their souls in perfect harmony.
In his entire life, he never imagined he would ever be so infatuated with a woman.
But if it's her, how worthwhile is it?
He wielded immense power, and all he wished for in his remaining years was to be with her until old age, their love unwavering!
