Chapter 119
evening
Huo Rui and Huo An both went to Luo Chaoyan's yard to have dinner.
Huo An kindly picked up a chicken drumstick and put it in Luo Chaoyan's bowl, saying, "Mother, eat!"
Luo Chaoyan was stunned. Is the Food Protector going to bribe?
Huo Rui also looked at his brother strangely. What was this silly brother planning?
"Mother, I want to live in your yard." Huo An stated his purpose.
Without waiting for Luo Chaoyan to answer, Huo Jin said coldly: "No!"
Huo An pouted and looked at Luo Chaoyan pitifully.
Luo Chaoyan thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. With the fat boy around, at least she could find an excuse to be lazy.
She coughed lightly and said, "My dear, An An is still young. If he wants to stay, let him stay."
Huo Jin frowned, looked at her disapprovingly, and said, "We can't always let him do what he wants."
"Father!" Huo An said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
Huo Rui shook his head gently. This silly brother still couldn't see the situation clearly. His father clearly didn't want him to be too attached to his mother.
Luo Chaoyan said seriously, "My dear, don't worry, I will never let An An have the chance to become a naughty and mischievous person."
The corners of Huo Rui's lips twitched. Why did he feel that she was hinting at something?
"An An, you still have to live in your own yard when you grow up. You might as well live in your own yard as soon as possible like your brother."
Huo An shook his head and said, "I have to be with my mother." He felt that only when he was with his mother would he have the chance to sneak out and play.
Huo Rui twitched the corners of his lips when he heard this, and said, "Silly brother, then you'll just have to wish you good luck."
It took Huo An many days to realize that his brother was right and that his father was truly horrible.
After dinner
Huo Jin took out a painting and handed it to Luo Chaoyan.
Luo Chaoyan spread out the painting for some reason, and was stunned when she saw the scenery in the painting.
"These...are these the scenes in your travel notes?"
Huo Jin nodded.
"This is so beautiful!" Luo Chaoyan looked at the painting with delight. The painting not only had a beautiful background, but also depicted the special characters in it.
etc! The places and scenery in this painting seemed to be where she wanted to go. How would he know?
Huo Jin seemed to see her confusion and said with a smile: "I saw you marked these places, I guess you will like them."
He walked closer to her, lifted her hand, and said, "Ayan, do you really want to go for a walk outside?"
Luo Chaoyan nodded, looking a little regretful. The world is so big, who wouldn't want to travel the world and see the changes of mountains and rivers with the four seasons? However, in ancient times, it was impossible for women to travel around like men.
Huo Jin looked at her sincerely and said, "Ayan, I'm sorry. I'm a member of the Huo family and I have responsibilities. I can't accompany you to travel around the world for the time being."
"Are you willing to wait for me? When Rui'er and the others grow up and are able to take on the responsibility of the Huo family, I will accompany you to wherever you want to go, okay?"
Luo Chaoyan looked up at him, her heart pounding. At this moment she could feel that he cared about her. To be honest, it's impossible not to be moved. This person can clearly know what she wants just by looking at her subtle actions and habits, and gives it to her as best he can. Being cared for by such a person, it feels... pretty good!
She nodded, and seeing that his gaze was a little hot, she lowered her head uncomfortably.
Huo Jin took her hand, held her in his arms, and said, "Ayan, thank you!"
At this moment, a series of "Click! Click!" sounds suddenly came to the ears of the two.
They both looked up at the same time, and saw Huo Rui and Huo An chewing a piece of watermelon.
Luo Chaoyan quickly left Huo Jin's arms, feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. She gritted her teeth and glared at the two onlookers, saying, "Why didn't you let someone know before you came in?"
When Huo Rui saw a chill coming from his father, he quickly said, "Father, it's An An who wants to come over." Then he saluted them and slipped away.
Huo An looked at his brother's back with disbelief. His brother was so disloyal. It was clearly they who had discussed coming here together.
He looked at his father's cold face and shuddered in his heart. Was it too late for him to run away now?
He raised a well-behaved smile and said, "Father, Mother, An An is here to say goodnight."
"Really?" Huo Jin looked at him coldly and said, "Then go home tonight and write these two words a hundred times. I'll check them tomorrow."
Huo An counted on his fingers and could hardly believe his ears. He only practiced a few characters every day and copied them a few times at most. Father, this is too cruel!
His eyes turned, then he rushed to Luo Chaoyan, took her hand, and said coquettishly: "Mother!"
Luo Chaoyan pinched his chubby face and said, "Will you dare to do it again next time?"
Huo An hurriedly shook his head and said, "Mother, An An is obedient."
Luo Chaoyan looked at Huo Jin and said, "My dear, why don't you forgive him this time?"
Huo An also looked at his father expectantly. But when he felt the chill emanating from his father getting stronger and stronger, he was frightened and quickly let go of his mother's hand. Then he bowed to them and said, "Father, An An will go and write it now!"
As he said this, he ran out as fast as a top.
The coldness on Huo Jin's face disappeared after he saw him run out.
Luo Chaoyan cleared her throat and said, "Um, my dear, that handkerchief..."
Huo Jin looked at her and said, "I know, I know it's for my father-in-law, not for me."
Luo Chaoyan touched her nose and smiled awkwardly. It must be her illusion. Why did she feel wronged?
She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to him, saying, "Here, for you!"
Huo Jin was stunned. He took it and looked at it. He saw that it was embroidered with a light green orchid. He raised his lips slightly, looked at her with burning eyes, and asked, "Did you embroider it?"
Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "What else?"
"Let me make it clear first. You can't be disgusted. I spent half the night embroidering this."
Huo Jin saw the indigo under her eyes, frowned, and said, "Don't stay up late to do these things in the future."
Luo Chaoyan yawned and nodded.
Seeing that she was sleepy, Huo Jin asked someone to prepare to wash up.
After both of them washed up, they lay down on the bed together.
Luo Chaoyan fell asleep soon after.
Huo Jin turned to look at her sideways, raised his head and kissed her on the forehead, then held her in his arms and fell asleep together.
…
The next day
After Luo Chaoyan woke up and finished her breakfast, she went to pay her respects to Madam Huo in her courtyard, but she only saw her mother-in-law there, and the fat boy was not there.
She asked curiously, "Why isn't An An here?" And she felt that the old lady didn't look well.
Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "Ah Jin said that An An needs to be taught by the teacher, so starting today, he will go to the front yard to study."
Luo Chaoyan couldn't help but feel a little sympathy when hearing this. Poor little fat boy! The old lady was in a bad mood because she couldn't bear to let go!
