Chapter 193
evening
After Luo Chaoyan and Huo Jin had dinner, the couple felt that it was still early, so they sat on the couch together to play chess.
Originally, she didn't really want to learn it, but Huo An kept telling her that she was bad at chess, so in order to save face, she would ask Huo Jin to teach her whenever she had time. Under Huo Jin's guidance, she would no longer be killed without a single piece of armor by Huo An, and at least she could hold on a little longer.
Seeing Huo Jin's black chess piece being slowly devoured by her, she smiled and said, "I won!"
Seeing her eyes full of light and a smile on her face, Huo Jin said, "You win."
Luo Chaoyan knew that he lost to her on purpose, probably because he felt that she was feeling down and wanted to coax her.
She looked up at his handsome face, her heart moved, she put her hands on the chessboard, moved her upper body closer to him, and kissed him on the lips. She wanted to sit back down, but Huo Jin grabbed her waist possessively.
She coughed lightly and said, "Husband, should we play another..." game of chess!
Before she could finish her words, Huo Jin raised his head and captured her lips.
She blinked first, then closed her eyes. Never mind, after all, she was the one who started it. Besides... they are husband and wife, aren't they!
Just as she was gasping for breath from the kiss, she felt herself being picked up by him.
Huo Jin looked at her shortness of breath and her charming expression, his eyes became deep, and he carried her straight to the bedside...
The next day
When Luo Chaoyan stood up, Huo Jin was gone. She rubbed her waist and felt regretful in her heart. She shouldn't have taken the initiative to tease Huo Jin, the wolf.
Pineapple heard the noise and pushed the door open and walked in.
"Madam, you're awake!"
Luo Chaoyan touched her stomach and felt hungry. She said, "Pineapple, I'm hungry."
Fengli nodded and said, "Then you wash up first, I'll go get you breakfast."
Not long after, Pineapple brought over the delicious breakfast.
Just as Luo Chaoyan sat down and was about to start eating, Huo An ran in.
"Mother!"
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Why are you here? Don't you have to study today?"
Huo An first poked his head into the room and looked around. Seeing that his father was not there, he said, "The teacher was not feeling well today, so he gave me a day off."
Luo Chaoyan nodded and said, "Have you had breakfast?"
"I have used it." Huo An replied obediently.
Huo An accompanied her for breakfast before they went to pay their respects to Mrs. Huo in her courtyard.
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but as soon as she walked in, she saw the old lady and her mother-in-law were only staring at her belly.
Luo Chaoyan bowed to the two of them inexplicably, "Grandma, Mother!"
Madam Huo looked at her and asked, "Have you been feeling unwell lately?"
"Uh...my granddaughter-in-law doesn't seem to be feeling unwell anywhere." Luo Chaoyan replied honestly.
Huo An looked at Mrs. Huo with some doubt and said, "Great-grandmother, mother has a good appetite. She just ate three meat buns."
Luo Chaoyan pursed her lips. If the elders hadn’t been present, she really wanted to close his mouth.
Madam Huo nodded and said, "That's good."
Luo Chaoyan felt that there was some earnestness in her eyes. What did this mean?
Huo An saw two pairs of cute tiger-head shoes on the table. He picked them up and compared them with his own feet, saying, "Grandma, An An can't wear these shoes."
Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "This is worn by a little brother."
Luo Chaoyan was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "Mother, did Uncle Yan have a new grandson?"
Mrs. Huo nodded and said, "Yes, the baby was born last night, and she came here early this morning to announce the good news."
"When the full moon comes, we will go together to enjoy the joy."
Luo Chaoyan agreed with a smile, but she was frightened in her heart, so when she came in, the old lady and mother-in-law stared at her belly. Were they trying to see if she was pregnant?
Only after leaving the old lady's yard did Luo Chaoyan breathe a sigh of relief.
Huo An followed her and asked, seeing her puzzled, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Chaoyan said, "It's okay." But she felt that if she stayed any longer, she would be killed by Cui.
After returning to her own courtyard, Fengli brought over two letters and said, "Madam, there's a letter from my cousin."
Luo Chaoyan's face lit up with joy and she quickly took the letter and started reading.
Yin Miaoshan said in the letter that she lived a very comfortable life in Yizhou. She also told her about the customs and food of Yizhou, and the good deeds she had done to punish evil and promote good.
After reading the letter, Luo Chaoyan was filled with envy.
Huo An looked at Fengli and said, "Did Aunt Shan send a letter?"
Fengli looked at his expectant eyes and couldn't help laughing, "My cousin also brought some specialties from Yizhou."
Huo An smiled and said, "Auntie Shan is the best."
…
When Huo Rui came back from school, he went straight to Luo Chaoyan's yard.
When Huo An saw his brother coming in, he couldn't help but speed up the process of breaking water chestnuts.
Huo Rui looked at them eating something black and horn-like, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you eating?"
“Water chestnut!” Luo Chaoyan broke off a piece and handed it to him, saying, “Try it!”
Huo Rui took it and took a bite, his eyes suddenly lit up, it was crispy and sweet.
"Where did it come from?" He had never eaten this before.
Luo Chaoyan said: "Your Aunt Shan sent it."
Seeing that his brother also liked to eat them, Huo An quickly grabbed a few and put them in his pocket.
Seeing his mother and brother looking at him with indescribable expressions, he chuckled and said, "I just want to give some to my great-grandmother to try."
How could Huo Rui not know the nature of his foodie brother, but he was too lazy to expose him.
He sighed softly and said, "It would be great if we could go to Yizhou as well."
Huo An was stunned for a moment, and said, "Brother, why don't you go tell great-grandmother that we are going to Yizhou to visit Aunt Shan?"
Huo Rui rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are the youngest, so what you say is more useful."
Huo An waved his hand and said, "I'm too young. My great-grandmother will definitely not take it seriously if I tell her."
As they spoke, they looked towards Luo Chaoyan.
Luo Chaoyan glared at the two of them unhappily and said, "Do you think what I say will work?" The most important thing is that the old lady would not feel at ease letting them go on a long journey. The old lady was so scared last time when they were almost kidnapped that she would never let them go so easily and let them travel far away again.
Huo An said: "Then I can only rely on my father."
Huo Rui looked at him as if he were a fool and said, "Do you think father would be so stupid as to let mother leave home and leave him alone in an empty house?"
Huo An covered his lips and smiled when he heard this.
Luo Chaoyan raised her hand and gave Huo Rui a fried chestnut, saying: "You are itching for trouble, aren't you?"
Huo An grabbed her hand and said in a flattering manner, "Mother, father listens to you. Try to act like a spoiled child to him, maybe he will agree."
Luo Chaoyan choked, thinking that she had only taken the initiative to tease him last night, but she was tossed around. Now she still felt sore. She was stupid enough to ask for trouble again.
“No!”
