ATBLM [QT] Chapter 96.1

Jiang Rui was finally carried downstairs by Huo Changyao.

Hearing him say that he was going to carry her to dinner, she was about to poke her head out of the blanket and saw what gave him the courage to say this. But Huo Changyao did not let her come out of her head, he wrapped her in the blanket. Like a fluffy silkworm baby, the whole person carried it away.

When they got downstairs, the servant was shocked when they saw it. Nanny Li even asked with concern if Madam was sick.

Huo Changyao dismissed them calmly. Only Jiang Rui saw his red earlobes and slightly wandering eyes.

After being placed on the chair, she stared at him and laughed non-stop.

Huo Changyao was uneasy at first and wanted to change the subject, but later he saw that she was determined to laugh at him, so he had no choice but to laugh along with her.

“Do you like watching Big Brother’s jokes so much?” He put the dishes and chopsticks for Jiang Rui, and when he reached back his hand, he touched her cheek with his finger along the way.

Jiang Rui grabbed his finger, held it in her hand, and played with it, “It’s not that I like to see Big Brother’s jokes, but I like to see Big Brother laugh.”

Huo Changyao was stunned for a moment, “What do you have to see? If you like to see people laughing, when the Old Second and Old Sixth come back some other time, they will laugh beautifully.”

“But I just like to watch Big Brother laugh. Big Brother is so handsome when he smiles. Very handsome, no one can compare with him.”

Huo Changyao’s face was hot when he heard it. He gave a dry cough, trying to say sternly: “Such words–”

“Should Big Brother say this first?” Jiang Rui interrupted him, “But Big Brother won’t say it.”

Huo Changyao was blocked. After a while, Jiang Rui had already started to eat, and then she heard him say: “Xiao Qi looks good when she smiles, she looks good even when she doesn’t smile. She looks good no matter what.”

Jiang Rui stopped and tilted her head to look at him.

Huo Changyao’s eyes can be called gentle, and he touched her hair, “Big Brother has a stupid mouth, and Xiao Qi will teach him more in the future.”

Jiang Rui pursed her lips and smiled, but she reluctantly said: “Big Brother has begged me so much, then I will accept this apprentice.”

When she was hugged downstairs, Jiang Rui did not wear shoes. So after eating, Huo Changyao hugged her upstairs again.

Neither of them seemed to have thought that they could ask the servant to bring the shoes and let her wear them and walk on her own.

Just because his wife did not want to eat for the time being, the Marshal hugged his wife up and down. The servants had never heard of this indulgence before, let alone seeing it.

The fact that Marshal Huo loved his righteous sister and wife so much was gradually spreading in Fengcheng.

On New Year’s Eve, because Wang Shi did not want to have a reunion dinner with them, only Huo Changyao, Jiang Rui, and Xu Hansheng were at the dinner table. Huo Changlin spent New Year’s Eve with the Second Aunt at his own home.

The three people went to the back building to pay a New Year’s greeting to Wang Shi before returning to the front building to have dinner.

In the past, several people often ate together. At the dinner table, Xu Hansheng and Jiang Rui were often whispering, while Huo Changyao only listened. But now the roles have been changed.

Xu Hansheng looked at the two people opposite who were talking quietly and moving constantly. He suddenly understood why the Second Brother always had a lot of emotions when facing his eldest brother and Xiao Qi. Because in such a comparison, he did seem a bit miserable as a bachelor.

Jiang Rui ate a piece of crab meat that Huo Changyao handed to her and turned her head to see Xu Hansheng looking at the two of them thoughtfully. With a grin, she said, “What are you thinking about, Sixth Brother? Do you miss the Sixth Sister-in-law?”

“There is no such thing as Sixth Sister-in-law, don’t talk nonsense.” Xu Hansheng shook his head and smiled.

Huo Changyao also looked at him, “If you have a girl you like, bring it back to us for a look. Regardless of family background, you can just like it.”

“There is really no girl.” Xu Hansheng said helplessly. He remembered that his Big Brother never cared about these things before. But now he did not know whether he had a family or was simply influenced by Xiao Qi, so he would ask such questions.

In one or two years, will you hold your child and teach him parenting lessons?

Xu Hansheng imagined the scene, in addition to being funny, he also felt a bit cold.

After dinner, New Year’s red envelopes were distributed to the servants, and they were on vacation. Apart from the guards outside, there were only three of them left in the whole building.

While talking together and watching New Year’s Eve together, Xu Hansheng looked at the former eldest brother and seventh sister, but now the eldest brother and sister-in-law. He finally realized that he seemed to be disgracing the scenery here, so he scratched his nose and made an excuse to go to the room reserved for him upstairs.

As soon as he left, the remaining two people also got up and went upstairs, not to their rooms, but to the third floor, where the view was wider and quieter.

The two of them originally sat on two chairs, smelling the fragrance of flowers and admiring the stars in the sky and the lanterns on the ground. Later, they gradually sat together, and then Jiang Rui snuggled into Huo Changyao’s arms.

No matter what you do, it’s all done once and twice. Ever since he took Jiang Rui to dinner that day, Huo Changyao would give her a hug, and he had to have an excuse before hugging her. For example, today, he said that he was afraid that she would be cold, so he put her on his lap and wrapped her in a blanket.

The cold wind roared outside the house, and the stars became more and more bright in the cold night sky. The huge fireworks suddenly exploded not far away, and the exclamation of the crowd of onlookers could be heard.

The fireworks were brilliant, but they were short-lived. After the excitement, Jiang Rui looked up at the starry sky slightly and was slightly lost in thought.

Huo Changyao pulled away the broken hair on her forehead and touched her sideburns with her cheek, “What are you thinking?”

“Think of the fireworks just now.” Jiang Rui said softly.

“Do you like it? Let people buy a few, and we will put them away too.”

Jiang Rui shook her head and tapped her temple, “No need. Although those things just now have disappeared, they are still in my mind.”

Everyone knows that fireworks are easy to get cold, but the beauty that blooms at that moment is still surprising and expectant.

It was as if she knew that one day he would forget everything in front of him, but the companionship and warmth in front of her were still irresistible.

If you forget, forget it. She thinks.
