The calmer and more composed he was, the more cold sweat Wan Xiuju broke out in.
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
Huo Cheng's expression seemed to hold a hint of confusion. "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Since we're at the hospital, let the doctor give us a thorough check-up."
"I can't ruin my health because of my carelessness. If Battalion Commander Xu finds out, he'll be very worried."
Huo Yan stood behind his brother the whole time.
He had just recovered from the shock of hearing his brother's words to Wan Xiuju.
Huo Yan's legs trembled.
His brother is really scary!
Let alone Wan Xiuju being so frightened that her legs went weak, anyone else would be terrified if they accidentally offended their son's boss and the boss just chatted with them as if nothing had happened.
Don't ask what you're afraid of.
The reason is that I'm afraid my boss will make things difficult for my child!
Seeing that sweat was already beading on Wan Xiuju's forehead, Huo Yan felt a pang of worry for her.
"elder brother……"
"Huo Cheng, what are you doing?"
Yingyue washed her hands and walked over from the side.
Seeing Huo Cheng talking to Wan Xiuju, whose forehead was still covered in sweat, she was very curious.
"Auntie, what's wrong? Why are you sweating so much?"
Wan Xiuju...
Does she dare to say it?
She spoke up because she was afraid that the regimental commander named Huo Cheng would make things difficult for her son.
"Um... Comrade Cheng, please just pretend I didn't say anything!"
"What did you say?"
Yingyue blinked, thought for a moment, and then realized what she meant.
"Oh, you mean you wanted to introduce me to your son? No, Auntie, I've already registered my marriage with Huo Cheng. One person can't marry two gay men; that's not right."
She earnestly explained scientific knowledge to Wan Xiuju.
Wan Xiuju wiped her sweat.
He glanced cautiously at Huo Cheng to the side.
"Um, sir... comrade, I really didn't mean it just now..."
"Auntie, don't be nervous."
Huo Cheng's smile widened. "I'm not angry because of what you said to my wife, and you don't need to worry, I'll hold Battalion Commander Xu responsible for this."
Wan Xiuju finally felt a little relieved after hearing what Huo Cheng said.
Huo Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.
I knew his brother wouldn't be so petty.
Yingyue, on the other hand, looked at Huo Cheng with a puzzled expression. She had some questions she wanted to ask, but she didn't voice them here.
Wan Xiuju thanked them and then slowly left the hospital.
After she left, Huo Cheng also let Huo Yan leave without hesitation.
Huo Yan...
Although he didn't really want to stay with his brother and sister-in-law.
But isn't it a bit too inhumane of him to kick her aside without hesitation once they arrived at their destination?
Huo Yan couldn't understand it.
No one answered his questions or provided any solutions.
"Then I'll wait for you outside, bro."
Huo Yan left after speaking, leaving Huo Cheng and Ying Yue alone in the corridor.
Yingyue pushed Huo Cheng into her and Wu Minzhe's office. Wu Minzhe had gone to a meeting at the inpatient department, so only the two of them were in the office at that moment.
Huo Cheng handed the contents of the net bag to Yingyue.
He even helped her open the cap of her soda and handed it to Yingyue.
Yingyue took it and, as usual, let Huo Cheng take a sip first.
"Is it good?"
"Mmm, sweet."
Huo Cheng replied with a gentle expression.
Yingyue raised her eyebrows and smiled with great satisfaction.
After taking a sip of her sweet soda, she said to Huo Cheng, "That auntie didn't mean it."
"Don't hold her son accountable."
Huo Cheng chuckled, "Why would Yueyue think that?"
"Um?"
Yingyue looked at Huo Cheng curiously, "Didn't you just say you would hold Battalion Commander Xu responsible for this?"
What Huo Cheng just said to Wan Xiuju was interpreted by Wan Xiuju and Huo Yan as meaning that the matter was over.
But Yingyue understood another meaning.
She clearly heard Huo Cheng say that he would hold Battalion Commander Xu responsible for this.
"Did I misunderstand?"
The firefly asked.
Huo Cheng's smile deepened. "No."
His statement can be interpreted in any way.
Of course, he wouldn't retaliate against Xu Hongjun; at most, he'd make him do a dozen or so extra laps.
However, neither Wan Xiuju nor her own brother understood his hidden meaning.
His Yueyue, however, recognized it.
That's why they say people who aren't family don't enter the same door.
Huo Cheng's expression softened as he thought about it. Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was in the office, he reached out and gently took Yingyue's hand.
"Is it tough studying in the hospital? Your face looks thinner."
Have you lost weight?
Yingyue pinched her cheek; it was so chubby.
"I'm not afraid of hard work. I want to be a doctor in the future. I want to become a great person like my teacher."
After she formally began studying under Wu Minzhe, she changed how she addressed him.
She originally wanted to call him "Master," but Wu Minzhe wouldn't allow it, so she could only call him "Teacher."
"Huo Cheng, you don't know, our teacher is amazing. Those patients who were sent to the hospital thought they were hopeless, but he could save them. He made sure they didn't lose any limbs."
Yingyue now looks at Wu Minzhe with adoration.
The description of how Wu Minzhe saved the person is described as gesticulating wildly.
Wu Minzhe, who had just returned from a meeting and was standing at the office door, happened to overhear Yingyue's words.
