ATBLM [QT] Chapter 85.1

The Marshal of the Republic of China (13)

Advertisement

The lights on the dance floor were soft and everyone started to dance with a soft and sweet tune.

Huo Changyao held Jiang Rui’s hand with one hand and held her waist with the other.

Her waistline was extremely beautiful. It slowly shrank inward from her back to her waist and then suddenly began to expand outwards when it reached her waist, outlining a slender and nimble waist.

Huo Changyao’s palm was placed there, almost giving him an illusion as if he could hold her waist in his hand with one hand.

Jiang Rui put her hands on his shoulders and tilted her head slightly. Her white neck and back formed a curve, elegant and soft, and her red lips were pursed gently.

Neither of them spoke. Although they danced together, the atmosphere was a bit subtle.

Not long after, Huo Changyao coughed, cleared his throat, and whispered: “Why don’t you speak? Are you angry?”

“Not angry.” Jiang Rui said.

Even if Huo Changyao did not quite understand the girl’s thoughts, he knew that what she said at this time was probably not the truth. His brows wrinkled in distress. Before he could let go, he thought of a possibility and frowned even more tightly: “You like the Young Master from the Lin family?”

Jiang Rui glanced at him and opened her mouth. Just as she was about to speak, Huo Changyao said again: “It’s not that Big Brother is interfering in your affairs. It’s just that this Young Master Lin is really not a good match. Look at him beckoning cats and dogs, his mouth is smooth, and there is no man’s responsibility. At this age, he has never thought about doing something serious, only eating, drinking, and having fun all day long. Does he think that when he gets married in the future, he will have to live under the influence of his ancestors?”

“Whether he does serious things or not, it has nothing to do with us. But Big Brother, you made that brother cry in just two sentences. How can I have the nerve to see Shanshan next time?” Jiang Rui said.

Huo Changyao also felt very distressed. He did not even use his hands and feet when the oily-headed and pink-faced boy ran away crying. He had grown up in the barracks since he was a child and was used to seeing tough men. When had he seen this kind of man? A large tear tank soaked in a breeding milk tank? If this was his soldier, he would have kicked him over.

However, when Xiao Qi said that she was not interested in the pretty boy, he breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: “You are young and cannot see through other people’s bad intentions. If you make any friends in the future, just bring them to Big Brother and I will check them for you.”

Jiang Rui hummed obligingly and then said: “Also, Big Brother, what you just said about my wife, my wife… Big Brother, it sounds awkward, so don’t say that in the future.”

Huo Changyao paused. What he just said about my wife was just blurted out, but after he said it, he felt that it was quite smooth. If they weren’t called that way, how could those prodigal sons retreat in spite of the difficulties?

But when he met Jiang Rui’s eyes, he used another set of rhetoric: “This is outside.  In the eyes of others, we are husband and wife. It is not appropriate to call Xiao Qi again. If you feel uncomfortable, I will call as little as possible in the future.”

Jiang Rui looked at him. She thought that this man was serious and decent, and as a result, he had a lot of thoughts about what he said as little as possible. He still meant to continue to call her that way?

She did not insist. Anyway, her purpose was not to break off the relationship with Huo Changyao. But, it was still necessary to remind him from time to time to make him realize that they were not a real couple.

Appropriately creating a sense of crisis, lest one day in the future, he suddenly makes up his mind to let her go regardless of Wang Shi’s objection. Then, it will be very difficult to get involved with him.

A few days after the dance, Jiang Rui’s school started and Huo Changyao also started a new round of busy work. The two of them did not see each other for several days.

That evening, Huo Changyao came back from outside the city and passed near Fengcheng Women’s University. Thinking that school was about to be over, he asked the driver to turn around and go to school.

As soon as they arrived at the school gate, a group of female students came out. Each of them had short hair, wearing blue clothes and black skirts and civilized new clothes. They did not wear earrings, rings, bracelets, and other accessories, looking simple and elegant.

Huo Changyao waited for a while and saw that the people were gradually leaving, but Xiao Qi was still nowhere to be seen, so he got out of the car and walked toward the campus.

All the people in the school were female students. Suddenly a tall and handsome man in a military uniform came in, so everyone looked at him with suspicion. Huo Changyao had never been to this university and did not know where Xiao Qi’s classroom was. He looked around but had no clue. Only after asking did he find the direction.

“Who is he? What is he here for?” As soon as he left, several girls came over and asked the female student who had just given him directions.

“Looking for Pan Susu from the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature.”

These days, those who can afford to attend a women’s college must come from a wealthy family and have enlightened parents. After all, there are only a few such families. The school can only receive dozens of students a year, which is not too many, so most of the students know each other. This is why Huo Changyao asked someone casually and they were able to give him directions.

“It’s her, I remember she married her righteous brother Marshal Huo. Could it be this one?” The girl who asked the question first asked again.

“I don’t know. Doesn’t she have several adopted brothers?”

Another girl said: “There is another person who has been here several times before. I heard Pan Susu call him the Sixth Brother. Today, this should be Marshal Huo. I didn’t expect him to be so young and handsome.”

“No matter how handsome you are, you are still someone else’s husband. Why? Are you thinking about spring?” the girl who asked the question teased her.

“What are you talking about, you damn girl! Don’t run away, let’s see how I deal with you if I catch you!” Several people laughed and walked away.
