"Qingfeng, this..." Ling Ruoke's mind went blank with this mix of joy and surprise.
Huo Qingfeng patted her shoulder, still calm and collected. "Don't worry, wife." Then, he took out a green notebook from his pocket and handed it to her.
Upon seeing the words "Divorce Certificate" on the certificate, Ling Ruoke was completely speechless. She repeatedly opened and closed her lips, her mouth moving but unable to utter a word. Her eyes began to well up with tears, and the look in her eyes as she gazed at Huo Qingfeng held a tender affection she herself was unaware of.
Upon seeing the situation, Tan Peishi quickly picked up the little one and ran out of the house, leaving them alone.
"Qingfeng, I..." She really didn't know what to say. He was always like this, silently getting things done before she even knew it.
Huo Qingfeng pulled her into his arms, holding her close. "Wife, do you like it?"
"Hmm. But how did you manage to steal it? Yuntian Villa is heavily guarded; even a mosquito would have a hard time getting in. You—"
"Shh—that's not important. Just tell me, do you like it or not?"
"like!"
"I can do anything you want."
"..."
The two embraced quietly, without any desire. They simply felt that just being held together so tightly was like having the whole world.
Huo Qingfeng stroked her long hair and asked, "You don't have classes this morning, right? Then ask the school for leave and take a nap at home. Look at you, you're practically a national treasure."
As he spoke, he ran his thumb across her eye. It seemed the young woman hadn't had a good night's sleep in days.
"But I don't want to sleep." She nestled in his arms with a pouty smile. "How about we go somewhere to play?"
"Where do you want to go?" Huo Qingfeng didn't object. Anyway, since the old man was going to imprison him for half a month, he must have used his power to get him leave; he had plenty of time!
Ling Ruoke pursed her lips, thinking and thinking, but couldn't come up with a good idea. She truly admired how others could always come up with so many romantic ideas. It seemed she, like Huo Qingfeng, was also a person without any romance. "How about we go see a movie?"
"Going to the movies so early in the morning?" Huo Qingfeng looked at her, both amused and exasperated. However, movie theaters are usually open all night, so he wasn't worried.
Ling Ruoke pouted and tugged at his collar. She tilted her chin up to look at him, appearing somewhat willful. "Is it not allowed?"
"Of course! In our family, the wife has the final say!"
Clearly, Colonel Huo is a complete henpecked husband. And he seems to be quite content with it.
Ling Ruoke kissed him and jumped off his lap. "Then hurry up and change your clothes. I'll go downstairs and tell Peishi and the others. We'll wait for you downstairs, so be quick!"
As I grabbed my bag and headed out, I called myself and the little one to ask for leave.
Tan Peishi naturally wouldn't go along, so it turned into a family of three enjoying a peaceful time together.
When they arrived at the movie theater and saw "Kung Fu Panda 2" displayed on the sign, the two of them immediately burst into laughter. It seemed the little guy had gotten the most out of the day.
To their surprise, there were a few other people who had also come to see the movie so early in the morning, just like them. A little observation revealed that they were all young couples. Only teenagers could be so romantic as to come to the movie theater so early in the morning.
Upon entering, they found only a few people in the large space. They found a seat in the middle and didn't sit at the front.
Looking at the empty venue, Ling Ruoke turned her head and asked with a smile, "If someone we know sees this, won't they think we're idiots?" Thinking about it, it does seem a bit silly.
"Anyone who dares to say my wife is stupid, I'll beat them up." Colonel Huo clenched his fist.
Ling Ruoke smiled, about to speak, when she suddenly heard the little guy's giggles. Curious, she turned her head and saw Fu'an's big eyes glued to the screen. Ruoke was amused by the little guy; seeing his focused expression, she even suspected he understood what she was watching. But children can always be happy when they see little figures on TV.
Ling Ruoke chuckled to herself and gently pinched the little guy.
The little guy quickly turned his head, and if she wasn't mistaken, he was glaring at her. It seemed he was annoyed that she had disturbed him. Thinking of this, Ling Ruoke chuckled. Being a good mother, she didn't bother the little guy again for the rest of the time.
Huo Qingfeng's body was completely enveloped in darkness, and Ling Ruo couldn't see his expression at all. She quietly moved closer to him and realized that the guy who had been so energetic just a moment ago seemed to have fallen asleep.
The dim light occasionally projected from the screen allowed Ling Ruo to clearly see his steady breathing and his tightly closed eyes.
Thinking about what he had done last night, she knew he must be exhausted. Ling Ruoke stared at him blankly for a long time, her heart filled with an indescribable tenderness.
She didn't know how much time had passed when a large hand that didn't belong to her landed on her shoulder. Ling Ruoke knew that someone had woken up and had slept enough.
"What did you think of the movie?" Ling Ruoke asked, her eyes fixed on the screen, feigning ignorance. A mischievous glint in her eyes.
Colonel Huo paused for a second, then said with renewed vigor, "Beautiful!"
Ling Ruoke turned her head with a half-smile. "What's your opinion?"
Colonel Huo scratched his head for a while, his eyes fixed on the screen, but he couldn't figure it out quickly. He could only laugh it off and say, "Anyway, it looks good. As for why it's good, I don't know how to explain it."
Ling Ruoke chuckled and stroked his stubble-covered chin. This guy lies without batting an eye! But, considering how tired he is, she'll let him off the hook.
The movie ended just as everyone was still enjoying it.
Fu'an's big eyes remained fixed on the screen, refusing to look away. "Mommy, Mommy!" The little guy tugged at Ruoke's sleeve with one hand and pointed at the screen, which had turned into subtitles, with the other; he wanted to see more.
"Honey, the movie's over, let's go home!"
The little guy withdrew his finger, his rosy face filled with deep disappointment.
...
Cang Wei calmed down and immediately dialed Xiao Yan's number again. "Send people to the xxx and YYY Civil Affairs Bureaus in City A immediately. If they find anyone handling my divorce with Ling Ruoke, arrest them immediately."
"I understand," came the reply, followed by another sentence. "Cang, I've never met anyone as awkward as you."
Actually, I didn't know that the people over there preferred to use the word "reservedly flirtatious." They only changed it at the last minute.
However, what I didn't expect was that on his way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, he was intercepted by the Blazing Flame Gang. A battle ensued, resulting in chaos. The scene became the headline news in City A that day.
Afterwards, several staff members of the Civil Affairs Bureau had nightmares about being forced to go through divorce proceedings at gunpoint in the middle of the night.
When Cang Wei received the divorce certificate delivered from the city, he immediately flew into a rage. He smashed everything in the room to pieces. Finally, he slammed his fists against the wall several times, his hands instantly turning bloody and mangled.
"Ling Ruoke, don't even think about escaping!" Each word was spat out through gritted teeth.
The sinister glint in his eyes sent a shiver down the spines of those around him. Everyone tensed, their nerves taut like fully stretched strings.
Cang Wei picked up his phone and started dialing. As he held the phone to his ear, blood from the back of his hand flowed down his wrist and arm, winding a red trail that looked extremely eerie.
