Chapter 685: Chapter 684 Sickeningly Sweet _1 Chapter 685: Chapter 684 Sickeningly Sweet _1 “Really?” Huo Beijiang asked, still somewhat unsure.
He knew that his wife had a sense of pride and perseverance typical of intellectuals. It wasn’t easy for her to give up that pride. He figured only her cousin could achieve that. The thought made him feel like he had been thrust into a sea of jealousy.
He was absolutely livid.
“Really. Don’t worry, I can take care of myself.”
“Alright!” For now, he decided to agree.
“But…” Huo Beijiang gathered himself and said firmly, “You should move in with me! You can’t stay here.”
“What would it look like if I moved in with you? What would people say? Plus, I don’t want to get dragged into the mess at your house.” Intuition told her that the waters in the Huo Family ran deep. From the fact that Granny Huo hadn’t sought her out once, she knew there must be some issues. Otherwise, Zhou Yongxian would have spoken to her.
Moreover, she didn’t dare inquire about the Huo Family’s affairs because she knew that given her ability right now, she’d only hold them back.
Granny Huo still hadn’t shown herself, and Principal Huo had vanished without a trace. There was also the sudden illness and death of Elder Leader Huo, as well as the death of Huo Kewei’s father. All of it was too sudden and too hard to fathom.
When they were in the provincial capital, Huo Beijiang only skimmed over these matters, but she could still sense the terror from his few words.
Thinking of all this, Nan Fei’s gaze softened as she looked at Huo Beijiang, tinged with a touch of heartache.
Even though he hadn’t said anything, and still acted like the incorrigible scoundrel as always in front of her, she could sense his change. He now had more furrows on his brow, and when he was silent, there was a kind of indifference and alienation that seemed to come from his bones.
All these were things he didn’t have before the Huo Family’s issues came to light.
In the past, he had a carefreeness that bordered on helplessness. Given a lever, he’d be audacious enough to claim he could lift the earth.
But now, she could no longer sense that kind of recklessness in him.
Upon closer observation, he seemed colder, more restrained, and unfathomable. This version of Huo Beijiang felt foreign to her, but it also made her heartache.
He must be under a lot of pressure now, right?
Huo Beijiang slightly knitted his brows, complaining, “Wifey, why are you looking at me with that expression?”
Nan Fei found it amusing and purposely asked, “And what kind of look do you think I’m giving you?”
After a moment of serious contemplation, Huo Beijiang confidently blasphemed, “Of course, it’s a sappy, mushy look!”
Nan Fei was speechless.
“If you don’t want to stay at my house, that’s fine too. But you must promise me that you’ll stay ten metres away from any random men out there. Especially Dai Yifan. There’s something about him that I just can’t stand. Whether he’ll end up paralyzed in the future depends entirely on how far you are from him.”
“You can give it a try, see if I’ll do what I say.” Only he could threaten someone so brazenly, “I almost didn’t manage to hold back today.”
After he finished, he deliberately glanced furtively at Nan Fei and suggested ambiguously, “You should be glad that my self-control has improved after being trained by you. Otherwise, I’d have disabled Dai Yifan long ago.” He smugly exclaimed that the guy was up to no good.
Nan Fei knew this scoundrel could do it.
He even dared to trash Jin Lifu’s lab. Was there anything he wouldn’t do?
“Get it! But don’t overdo it.” Always threatening people.
Huo Beijiang got the answer he wanted, his eyes smiling happily, “Wifey, you’re the best.”
“Hehe… I’m not as good as you, you’re the best.” Nan Fei had no way to deal with him and decided to change the topic: “Don’t you need to return to the military base?”
She noticed that Huo Beijiang seemed to have more free time now than before.
