Chapter 24: A Night of Love is Worth a Thousand Gold

Wen Ci looked at the passbook on the table, curious about how much Huo Jingyuan had earned in the past twelve years. He reached out and picked up the passbook and flipped to the bottom. The balance was a full five digits.

A true millionaire.

"Five, five figures?" Wen Ci suddenly widened his eyes, raised his red lips slightly, and looked at Huo Jingyuan with astonishment: "Your salary is so high?"

Huo Jingyuan lowered his eyes to look at her and shook his head: "I served as a soldier in the northwest for twelve years. My monthly salary was 25 yuan in the first five years, and it increased to 35 yuan in the middle five years. In the past two years, it has increased to 55 yuan.

The remaining 10,000 yuan is the savings my parents gave me for my wife."

The man paused deliberately, and then spoke slowly in a lazy voice: "Now I hand the wife's book over to her."

Wen Ci looked at the calm man, her heartbeat quickened, her face suddenly flushed, and then quickly spread to her ears.

"you……"

Wen Ci didn't know what to say, so he lowered his head shyly and ate in silence.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. After several knocks, Huo Jingyuan lowered his eyelids and said calmly, "You continue eating. I'll go open the door."

When he came back, he deliberately closed the door to the yard because he didn't want to be disturbed. As a result...

Huo Jingyuan exuded a bit of chilliness. He had long legs and walked to the door in two or three steps. He opened the door and was greeted by a few shameless people. He stood in front of the door:

"What are you doing here?"

When Xue Li heard that Brother Huo had installed a TV at home, he called a few of his buddies and the regiment political commissar to go to Brother Huo's house to watch the color TV.

"watch TV."

Huo Jingyuan glanced at the Youth League Committee: "Are you here to join in the fun too?"

"I haven't seen color TV either."

Wen Ci saw that no one had come in yet, so she walked to the door and saw Huo Jingyuan half blocking the door. Xue Li greeted Wen Ci through the half-open door: "Sister-in-law!"

Wen Ci nodded.

Huo Jingyuan pulled the corner of his mouth to reveal a trace of sneer, and said slowly and calmly with a chill that made people's backs shiver: "Get lost."

Xue Li realized that Brother Huo was angry, so he shrank his neck and said in a muffled voice: "Brother Huo, don't be so stingy. We are also curious about the color TV."

The others hadn’t figured it out yet, but the married Youth League Committee member did, and said with a smile, “Let’s go, we’ll come back another day.”

"Why?"

The Youth League Committee member curled his lips and said: "A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold."

Hearing this, Huo Jingyuan calmed down and said calmly, "In a few days, I will naturally invite you to my house to watch TV. Why are you panicking?"

The episode ended and Xue Li and his companions left.

Wen Ci stood at the door of the inner room. He didn't hear what they were talking about. When he saw Huo Jingyuan close the door again and walk towards him, he couldn't help asking:

"Why don't they come in?"

"They are looking for trouble, let's go back and continue eating."

"oh."

-

After eating, Wen Ci rubbed her stomach with her hand. She was particularly satisfied with the meal. She leaned back in her chair and said, "I'll take a break and wash the dishes later."

"I'll wash it."

Seeing Huo Jingyuan clearing the dishes on the table, Wen Ci stood up quickly, his voice becoming a little serious: "We agreed that whoever cooks will wash the dishes."

"I'll listen to you." Huo Jingyuan replied.

Based on his understanding of Wen Ci in the past few days, he knew that she always kept her word, sometimes she could be very bold and sometimes she could be very serious.

Wen Ci sat back in his seat, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's not tiring to work with men and women. I can't just let you do it alone."
