Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“We’ve said what we came here for, we’ll make our leave then.” Huo Yunting pulled Lu Zhaoyang’s tiny hands and locked their fingers together, “We still need to fuss over the wedding, so if Grandma, you are willing to come, call me any time.”
As they had just reached the door, a man clad in camouflage green military uniform walked in with a woman in tow.
After finding out that grandiose marriage proposal and revelation, Huo Chen sat quietly alone for the whole night and he received news today that they had came back.
He could no longer meet Yangyang as frequently as in the past. He would get busier in the army as well, so he took some time out to meet them today. He may not even have time to attend their wedding even.
“Huo Chen, our wedding invitation will definitely be sent to you and my new aunt-in-law.”
Huo Yunting brusquely grabbed her hand as his eyes looked at Wen He. That scared her into shrinking her neck and keeping quiet.
“Alright, but I may be too busy and not have the time. So let me wish you well first.”
Huo Chen gracefully gave his blessings and looked on gently at Lu Zhaoyang. “Since you have decided, don’t think about anything else, make yourself happy.”
“Yes, I will. Both of you too.”
She felt that him clad in his army uniform, all handsome, was the way he should look.
When they were overseas, they had a peaceful life but that was not the life someone like Huo Chen should have.
Returning to the country was not what she had expected, but now, everything seemed to have fallen back into place.
“Wifey, time to go.”
As he said that, Huo Yunting pulled her away.
Calling her wifey, before Huo Chen, before all of the Huos.
He found thrill in that.
Huo Chen and Wen He entered the house. They comforted the Madam before leaving as well.
Inside the military jeep, Huo Chen drove slowly, compared to the speed which he had drove when they came.
“Why don’t you want to attend the wedding? You have not given up have you, afraid that you’ll fall apart in the wedding?...Or you plan to snatch the bride?
Wen He pretended to smile to liven up the atmosphere and joked with him as she placed her long hands on the open window.
The car window was wide open as the cool breeze of autumn blew. Wen He enjoyed it as she closed her eyes.
After a while, only did Huo Chen replied. “I have something to do.”
“A mission?” Wen He finally focused, “Where to, can I go?”
“No, too dangerous.”
Huo Chen’s gaze was indifferent and as he looked at the more and more quiet road, he suddenly answered her question.
“It’s not that I’ve not given up, me and her, we are destined to never be together. Now that Yangyang is able to accept Yunting wholeheartedly and have the courage to be with him without reservation, I’m very happy for her.
“This sounds so fake, so what if she was with you?”
“I would be happier.” He was honest at least.
Her long hair continued to flutter in the wind and that tickled her. After putting her hair back behind her ears, she comforted him, “After so many years, you can finally put this baggage down. But you really need to thank this relationship. You were so badly wounded back then, and if it was not for this, you could have seen been in coma.”
“Yeah.”
Wen He turned her head towards him. He may look indifferent now but who knows what was going on inside.
Since when it was that easy to put someone so close to your heart down?
After returning to the military base, Huo Chen brought the recruits out to train.
And it was said that none of the recruits had any strength left to go to the canteen to eat.
And more chilling was that they continued to be trained by this demonic Major General. The process was all too graphic.
