Lin Junhui didn't care about his bruised face. After all, it was normal for his future brother-in-law to come to him for a fight and to test him.
Compared to other sons of aristocratic families, his family background was quite ordinary. His father was content to be a county magistrate, a position of moderate importance, and his mother made a fortune in business, which she had left him with a considerable fortune. His sister was married, leaving him as an unmarried young man.
His parents were both busy with their own things, so he learned to be independent at a young age. He has a cheerful personality and is an optimist.
He had never felt inferior in front of a young man from a noble family with a higher social status than himself. But this was indeed a fact that could not be ignored. The difference between his Lin family and the Huo family was more than a thousand miles. He only had a sincere heart.
He has been a little troubled recently. He really wants to see Huo Xi and meet her.
He had known Huo Xi for two years. Ever since he saw her on her coming-of-age ceremony, she had been on his mind and heart. However, Huo Xi always remained indifferent to his enthusiasm, and he didn't dare to make any big moves, fearing that it would damage Huo Xi's reputation.
Others didn't know, but did the people in the Huo Mansion know? Did Liu Yuhan not know?
General Huo just smiled and didn't care. He already had a grandson's wife and someone to take care of the household, so he didn't have to worry too much. He let the young people solve their own problems.
"Xi'er, what are you thinking about?"
"Sister-in-law, did my elder brother and second brother really beat up Master Lin?"
"Yeah. I heard from your second brother that Master Lin is quite resilient and would not admit defeat even with a bruised face."
"Xi'er, we all know that he likes you, but what about you? What do you think?"
"Sister-in-law doesn't want you to feel wronged because of external pressure or because of others. So just ask yourself, do you feel sad when you hear him being beaten?"
"I...sister-in-law, I want to go see him. Can you go with me?"
"Okay. Sister-in-law will go with you."
When Huo Yi invited Lin Junhui into the Huo Mansion on the pretext of reporting work, Lin Junhui didn't know that the person who really wanted to see him was Huo Xi.
Huo Yi was standing at the door of the main hall. Liu Yuhan looked at Lin Junhui, who was bruised and swollen, but still told her about the militia workshop nonchalantly. She couldn't help but laugh in her heart. His expression was really too funny.
Lin Junhui is tall and handsome. When he is silent, he looks like a handsome and cold young man.
Yet, his voice and personality are surprisingly lively and cheerful. He's a great talker, comparable to Liu Yuhan's uncle, Yang Nianhua. He and Huo Xi have completely different personalities, but they're a good match. Huo Xi is too aloof, and having someone like him around would surely make him happier.
"Master Lin, do you really want to marry Xi'er? Xi'er has a cold personality, but she values family affection very much. She is the daughter of the Huo family and naturally has the capital to be proud. If you really ask her to marry you, will you tolerate and love her?"
"In reply to the General's wife, I have wanted to marry Huo Xi for a long time. The world can bear witness to my true love for her. I also dare to swear that if we get married, I will tolerate and love her for the rest of my life."
"I know Huo Xi has her considerations, and I am willing to wait for her. If one day... if one day she finds someone she likes, it means that person is excellent, and I will definitely not bother her anymore." Lin Junhui said very seriously, and Liu Yuhan nodded with satisfaction in his heart.
"You sit here for a while." Liu Yuhan left with her maid and Huo Yi.
Huo Xi walked over from the cubicle, and of course she heard what Lin Junhui said.
"Xi'er."
"Don't you think I'm boring?"
"How could that be? Xi'er has a great personality and a kind heart. I'm not worthy of you..."
When Huo Xi saw his beaten face, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"My brother is so powerful, why don't you stay away and be so reckless?"
"Hehe...it's okay. I'm glad to have the General's guidance."
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt at all as long as you care about me."
"Fool. Do you think what you just said counts?"
"Ah... count, count, Xier, can you consider me more?" Lin Junhui looked at Huo Xi nervously with a serious face.
"You...you go ask my grandfather for marriage..."
"Xi'er! Really? Thank you." Lin Junhui was so ecstatic that he couldn't help but take two steps forward and grab Huo Xi's hand.
"Um, really, does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, thank you Xi'er. Although I talk a lot, every word I said to you before counts and I am extremely serious. You can test me in the future."
"Yeah. Go back."
"Okay, Xier, I'll go back and discuss the marriage proposal with my parents. Xier, wait for me." Lin Junhui quickly hugged Huo Xi, then ran away like a cheerful young man.
"Fool." Huo Xi's heart was stirred.
Huo Xi got engaged, picked a date, and married quickly. Their marriage was a sweet romance, and Huo Xi's personality became much more cheerful. Since their families lived close together, they often visited each other.
Within five years of their marriage, they gave birth to a daughter as their first child and twin brothers as their second child. Like Huo Dong, Lin Junhui also took sterilization drugs.
