ATBLM [QT] Chapter 85.2

Huo Changyao found the teaching building and was about to go up when he saw a familiar figure squatting in the flower garden in front of the building. Her skirt touched the ground and her shoes were stained with mud. She was still unaware, holding a small shower head and giving it to the flower in front of her.

While sprinkling water on a flower, she gently stroked the flowers and leaves while sprinkling. Her lips opened and closed, but he did not know what she was whispering. The setting sun shone on half of her face, coating her profile with a soft light, and making her look gentle and peaceful.

Huo Changyao had always known that his Xiao Qi was lively and playful, but he had never seen her look so gentle and demure. The object of her love was an inconspicuous flower. He was slightly startled.

Jiang Rui inadvertently raised her head, saw him, and asked curiously: “Big Brother, why are you here?”

Huo Changyao came back to his senses, walked over with his legs raised, and knelt down beside her: “I picked you up on the way home. What are you doing?”

“Watering, it’s my turn to take care of the flower garden this week.”

“You’re still talking to it?” Huo Changyao stretched out his fingers and touched the wet leaves.

Jiang Rui nodded, “I think flowers, plants, and trees can understand people’s language. Do you believe it?”

Huo Changyao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, wanting to laugh at these child-like innocent words. But when he saw Jiang Rui’s serious face, he unconsciously nodded seriously: “I believe it.”

Jiang Rui bent her eyes and smiled.

Huo Changyao looked at her contented smiling face, his hands were about to move. He always wanted to reach out and squeeze it, but struggled to endure it. As an elder brother, he can’t bully his sister.

With Huo Changyao’s help in watering and weeding, Jiang Rui quickly completed today’s task. The two of them got into the car together to prepare to go home.

Halfway through, Huo Changyao suddenly said: “I heard from Old Sixth that a new Western restaurant has been opened on Heping Road. It tastes pretty good. Let’s try it together?”

Jiang Rui pointed to her shoes, “They are so dirty. Will they let you in?”

“It’s okay, let’s go buy a new pair of shoes first.”

“Yes, yes, do you want to call Sixth Brother?”

What do you call him for? Huo Changyao said in his heart, but said: “He has an appointment tonight.”

Jiang Rui thought of something and asked gossiping: “Is it with a girl? Big Brother, does the Sixth Brother have a Sixth Sister-in-law? He didn’t tell me last time I asked him.”

Just as Huo Changyao was about to say no, he suddenly changed his mind and said ambiguously: “Perhaps, he didn’t mention it to me either.”

“There must be,” Jiang Rui clapped her palms, “Sixth Brother is really not loyal enough to have Sixth Sister-in-law and not introduce him to us.”

“That’s right,” Huo Changyao immediately answered, “When Xiao Qi finds someone she likes, she must tell Big Brother as soon as possible.”

“I know.” Jiang Rui dragged her tone.

It’s dinner time now and there are many customers in the Western restaurant. The boss heard that Marshal Huo came with his newlywed wife, so he came over to say hello in person.

During this period, she also met one or two people who knew Huo Changyao. It was rare to see Marshal Huo in ordinary times, but now they met him, they quickly stepped forward to compliment him. Seeing him enjoying a candlelight dinner with a female student, his eyes became ambiguous. After hearing his introduction and learning that the female student was Mrs. Huo, he quickly said some polite words, but his expression became even more ambiguous.

After all, Marshal Huo’s newlywed wife was originally his adopted sister. The brother and sister who had been together for more than ten years became husband and wife. This matter is now known to everyone in Fengcheng.

No matter who the visitor was or what he said, Jiang Rui just ate her dinner with a calm expression.

Huo Changyao was also worried that she was impatient, but he was relieved to see her appearance later.

However, he was also tired of such interruptions. When he noticed that someone was coming over again, he looked over and successfully scared the person away.

The two of them went back to Huo Mansion after dinner. As soon as Jiang Rui arrived home, she went upstairs to take a shower and change clothes.

Huo Changyao wandered outside his room for a long time, and finally, walked in and sat on the sofa rigidly.

He did not listen to Xiao Qi taking a bath, he was just worried that she would fall down in the bathroom.

The next day, as soon as Huo Changyao arrived at the office, Xu Hansheng informed him.

“Second Brother sent a telegram. He is about to return to China and he is now on the cruise ship.”

Huo Changyao nodded: “Send someone to talk to the Second Aunt in a moment.”

“I have to talk to Xiao Qi.” Xu Hansheng said.

“She will know when Changlin comes back.”

“It’s not the same,” Xu Hansheng said, “Xiao Qi has a good relationship with the Second Brother. If she knows that he is coming back, she will definitely be very happy. If you let her know one day earlier, she will be happy one day earlier.”

Huo Changyao paused when he flipped through the documents before he said, “Oh.”

 

*****

The author has something to say:

Marshal: Xiao Qi likes her Second Brother and likes her Sixth Brother, but doesn’t like me, unhappy.

Xu Hansheng: What is unhappy now? There will be more unhappy days in the future.
