ATBLM [QT] Chapter 82.1

Nanny Lin came knocking on the door early in the morning. It turned out that Wang Shi had a dream last night about the Bodhisattva in the temple. She wholeheartedly believed that Huo Changyao’s ability to survive this time was all due to the blessing of Bodhisattva, so she immediately decided to go to offer incense and specially asked someone to ask Jiang Rui if she wanted to go with her.

Jiang Rui made an appointment to watch a play in the theater in the afternoon. Anyway, she woke up now and had nothing to do. It was better to walk outside, so she nodded in agreement.

After sending Nanny Lin away, she returned to the room to get the hairpin on the head of the bed. Huo Changyao closed his eyes, not sure if he was asleep, Jiang Rui did not wake him up and went out gently.

In the morning, they went to the mountains outside the city to offer the incense. After eating a fast meal in the temple, they returned to the city. The car passed by Changchun Garden. Jiang Rui told Wang Shi about her appointment.

Wang Shi only asked her to be careful and go home early.

She watched a play with others and then went to the department store to stroll around. When she came out, she was full of achievements. Originally, those people invited her to dance at the ballroom, but she declined and called a rickshaw back to the Huo Mansion.

As soon as she reached the door, a car stopped beside her and Huo Changyao got out of the car.

He was wearing a straight military uniform, a military cap on his head, a belt around his waist, and shiny leather shoes on his feet. He looked cold and sharp, but his face still lacked blood.

“Big Brother, you also went out today, why don’t you take a few more days off?” Jiang Rui said.

“It’s fine.” Huo Changyao glanced at the big and small bags she was carrying and reached out to take them.

Jiang Rui embarrassedly lifted the bag, “It’s just a few clothes, not heavy, I can do it myself.” After finishing speaking, without waiting for Huo Changyao to insist, she stomped upstairs.

Huo Changyao went to see Wang Shi in the back building.

At night, Jiang Rui washed up and went to his room.

Huo Changyao silently motioned to her to close the door, then walked to the wall opposite the bed, and pulled open a calligraphy hanging there. A narrow passage suddenly appeared on the wall and behind the passage was another room.

Jiang Rui’s eyes widened in surprise, “This is?”

“Old Sixth brought someone to dig today. I feel sorry for you for staying here for a while.”

Jiang Rui walked through the passage. This room was also very spacious. It was fully equipped with a bed, sofa, and bookshelf. Probably to avoid being seen by outsiders when lighting the lamp at night, several layers of black curtains were installed on the windows.

She looked around and nodded in satisfaction, “I think it’s pretty good here. By the way, Big Brother, can I bring the phonograph from my room?”

“You can get in a while.” Huo Changyao said.

That night, both of them finally slept peacefully.

At first, Jiang Rui washed up in her own room and then went to sleep in the room next to Huo Changyao. Later, she thought it would be troublesome to walk back and forth. There was a bathroom in that room, so she even moved the bathing utensils there.

The servants who cleaned the building had already been ordered by Huo Changyao and they did not say anything even if they found something strange. Wang Shi’s people watched closely for a while, and seeing that the two of them had been sleeping in the same room, they gradually stopped staring.

However, afraid that she would ask someone to come and take a look at her temporarily, Jiang Rui did not move away for the time being.

These days, Huo Changyao has been leaving early and returning late, sometimes staying out all night, and not showing up for several days in a row. Xu Hansheng also came and went in a hurry. His usually gentle face was also rarely serious. He told her several times that she must be followed when going out.

Jiang Rui guessed that they were going to fight back. After all, Huo Changyao did not seem like a person who would suffer from boredom.

School hasn’t started yet, she just went out to have fun, since it’s not safe outside, so she simply won’t go out.

After about ten days, the hidden threat was finally uprooted. From Huo Changyao’s injury to now, Xu Hansheng had a rare moment of relief and decided to go back to Huo’s mansion for dinner with him.

Unlike Pan Susu, he moved out of the Huo family after joining the army and only occasionally went back.

After passing by a shop, he suddenly stopped, got out of the car, and entered the shop. After a while, he came out. He raised the two small pink boxes in his hand to Huo Changyao and said with a smile: “I haven’t seen Xiao Qi for a long time, buy her two lipsticks.”

“She likes this?” Huo Changyao glanced at the things in his hand.

Xu Hansheng put the lipstick in his jacket pocket, “Girls don’t all like these?” Then, he joked: “Big Brother never gave Xiao Qi a gift, right? Be careful that she doesn’t want to see you. Remember when she was a child, she would avoid you as soon as she saw you? I bought her candy many times before I succeeded in getting her to run behind me.”

Huo Changyao thought about it and said, “She and the Old Second are also very good.”

Xu Hansheng glanced at his expression, made sure that he was just talking casually, and then said, “Yes, the Second Brother is handsome and can talk. The little girl likes him the most.”

Huo Changyao nodded and then said to the driver, “Go back.”
