The car window rolled down.
"He's been suspended from his duties pending investigation due to serious misconduct. If that's true, then he won't be going back." The sudden voice answered her question.
Ling Ruoke stared in astonishment at Cang Weiwo's face, completely stunned. Suspension pending investigation? "Qingfeng, is this true?"
Huo Qingfeng didn't even look in the direction of the car; he just smiled and touched her face. "It's true. But it doesn't matter. As long as I have you, that's enough. Let's go home."
"I never expected Colonel Huo to be so tender and affectionate. I just wonder how long you can keep it up."
Huo Qingfeng looked at him, his expression still indifferent. "Let's wait and see."
Ruoke was pushed into the passenger seat, and then she got in herself.
"If possible, as I said, you can't escape. I'll wait for you to willingly return to my side."
"Then you wait patiently. Honey, let's go home." He leaned down and kissed Ruoke, blocking her view of Cang Weimiao.
Cang Wei's eyes blazed with fury, then he gave a cold laugh and slowly closed the car window. Just as he had arrived, the Mercedes sped away again.
Ling Ruoke felt the air suddenly become thin, and she found it hard to breathe.
Ling Ruoke remained silent throughout the journey.
Huo Qingfeng didn't disturb her, letting her think about it herself. Some things must be understood by the person involved; otherwise, no amount of advice from others will be of any use.
After picking up the little guy, he told him to be good and not disturb Mommy. But kids can't sit still, so soon he started babbling about kindergarten. Usually, Ruoke can interact with him, but today my wife was distracted, so Daddy had to step in.
"Lili said he has a little bird that can talk... He also said he has a little pig that smells good, but isn't edible." The little guy babbled on, his words full of envy.
Those must be parrots and miniature pigs.
Huo Qingfeng asked with a smile, "Does Fu'an want one too?"
The little guy shook his big head, his big, bright eyes looking very serious. "Mommy said that good children shouldn't ask for things randomly. Daddy, Fu'an is a good child."
Huo Qingfeng was thinking about how to answer.
A hand reached out, a warm palm, and patted the little guy's head. "Yes, Fu'an has always been a good boy."
Immediately, the little one looked at his mother with smiling eyes, feeling completely fulfilled.
Huo Qingfeng smiled as he looked at his wife, who had come to her senses.
Before the car even reached the building, another Hummer was parked there. A moment later, a driver in military uniform got out of the driver's seat. A guard with a gun on his shoulder got out of the passenger seat. They quickly ran to open the back door, and a man and a woman got out one after the other. The man was in full military uniform, looking very imposing. The woman was a familiar face.
The moment Ling Ruoke saw Yang Ziyun, she understood everything. She turned her head and looked at the person beside her. Instantly, her nerves tensed up.
Huo Qingfeng reached out and placed his hand on the back of hers; his palm was icy cold. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Ling Ruoke smiled and said playfully, "I'm not afraid. Anyway, even if the sky falls, you'll be there to hold it up, since you're taller than me."
"Yes! My wife is really smart!" Colonel Huo was deeply comforted; she was a promising young woman.
"Grandpa, Grandma..." The little guy saw them too, and started to wriggle around excitedly.
Ling Ruoke opened the car door and put him down. The little guy ran over excitedly and was picked up by his grandfather. His grandfather's stern face softened a bit. His grandmother smiled broadly and reached out to pinch his rosy cheeks.
"See, the little guy is quite useful." Colonel Huo raised an eyebrow and whispered mysteriously in her ear.
Ling Ruoke punched him lightly. "Get out of the car quickly, your parents will be angry." She pretended to be relaxed, but she was actually very nervous inside.
As the two got out of the car and walked towards them, Colonel Huo grabbed her hand. Even if she could struggle, he wouldn't let go.
"Mom, Father."
"Uncle, Auntie." Ling Ruoke felt a little embarrassed because he was holding her hand. Her father's piercing gaze made her scalp tingle. She hadn't expected her father to be so serious and intimidating!
"Hmph." The old man snorted coldly and turned to go upstairs first. His tall and broad back was like a solid wall.
Yang Ziyun smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. She then pulled Fu'an along and followed.
Ling Ruoke hurriedly followed to open the door, afraid that if she didn't greet them well enough, they would start a fight as soon as they entered.
Yang Ziyun led the child into his children's room. It seemed she had anticipated a silent battle was about to begin.
Huo Qingfeng's father was probably used to commanding troops and was a military officer; every move he made exuded the air of a great general. As soon as he entered the door, he sat down on the sofa with an air of authority.
"You—come here!" He waved his hand, pointing at Ling Ruoke.
Huo Qingfeng stepped forward. "Commander, please don't make things difficult for her."
The general slammed his hand on the table. "Shut up! If you dare to utter another word without my order, I'll shoot you!" Then he looked Ling Ruoke up and down, without making a sound.
But Ling Ruoke still saw contempt in his eyes. She suddenly understood what it felt like to stand before an official in ancient times. They looked at you as if you were an ant. No matter how much arrogance you had, it would gradually dissipate.
Huo Qingfeng was not intimidated by his imposing manner and pulled Ruo Ke to his side.
Instantly, the general's eyes blazed with fury. "You're willing to give up your future for a worthless woman? You've really made a name for yourself!"
Huo Qingfeng snapped his legs together and stood at attention, saluting. "Reporting, sir, she's my girlfriend, soon to be my wife, not some shady woman. So, please take back what you just said!"
"Soldiers need to apply for approval from their superiors before they can date or get married. Have you received your approval?" the general roared, his voice booming and his spirit resounding.
"Reporting, sir, I have submitted a report on my relationship. As for the marriage report, I will submit it soon, if necessary!" If he is truly no longer a soldier, then naturally there is no need to submit one.
"Qingfeng." Ling Ruoke tugged at his hand, signaling him not to confront his father like this. His father seemed like a very stubborn person, and the more you argued with him, the angrier he would get.
"Pulling and shoving each other in public is unbecoming!"
Ling Ruoke was furious and whispered, "Uncle, this is my home."
The general glared at her fiercely, his gaze unusually sharp. "This is the woman you chose? She doesn't even understand basic manners! Any of Old Master Gu's granddaughters is better than her! Huo Qingfeng, I order you to break up with this woman immediately! Stop this blatant flirting! Cut all ties with her and don't have anything to do with her again!"
These words were too harsh, and Huo Qingfeng's stubborn temper was ignited. "The person I've chosen is Ruo Ke. If Father thinks Old Master Gu's granddaughter is good, then please, Father, marry them."
"You bastard! You scoundrel! I'd rather beat you to death than embarrass you like this!" the general roared at his son.
