Chapter 132

Huo Jingyuan smiled, put his arm around Wen Ci's slender waist, and helped her sit on the edge of the bed. He leaned close to her ear and said, "It misses you a little."

Wen Ci's face suddenly flushed red.

You should know that Huo Jingyuan's childhood friend is still outside.

Wen Ci bit her lip shyly, "You're so irresponsible."

The man smiled and said, "What's the point of being serious? We're a married couple, and I'm a public servant, so I should respond to the call and have a healthy baby with you."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ci broke free from Huo Jingyuan's hand, stood up from the bedside, glanced at him, and chuckled, "You make it sound like you can do the same thing when you go home."

"My upper body is injured."

As soon as she finished speaking, an unusual image flashed through Wen Ci's mind: a man lying flat on the bed with bandages still wrapped around his upper body...

Wen Ci gradually went from being shy to being coy.

Although I've tried this before, it's really shameful for a woman, and I don't dare to look Huo Jingyuan in the eye at all.

Wen Ci shook her head, trying to shake all those thoughts away, rubbed her rosy cheeks, and said, "Xiao Chuan and Xu Jinghe are waiting outside."

"Then let them in."

He still thought Xu Jinghe hadn't arrived in the capital.

I didn't expect them to act so quickly.

"Ah."

As she spoke, Wen Ci walked to the door of the ward and opened it, her eyes crinkling: "I just taught him a lesson. You two childhood friends can chat. I'm going to find the doctor to ask about the situation."

Xiao Chuan asked, bewildered, "Sister, why are your cheeks so red?"

Is it very popular?

"OK."

Wen Ci turned around and glared at the man lying on the bed. It was all the dog's fault for saying such stupid things, making her blush and feel ashamed.

Inside the ward. Xu Jinghe looked at Huo Jingyuan lying on the bed and clicked his tongue in exasperation, saying with a look of disappointment, "Tell me what you're doing this for? Your aunt and uncle are doing research in a classified unit, and you can only see them once every few years."

You used to be single, but now that you're married, shouldn't you be thinking about the future?

Huo Jingyuan's eyelids drooped slightly.

He knew that Xu Jinghe said those words out of concern for him.

Every year when I go back to my grandfather's place, I try to persuade myself to retire from the military and change careers.

Huo Jingyuan smiled and said, "I'll try my best not to get hurt next time. Besides, it's the 1980s now. Except for a few areas, the provincial capital is safe."

Xu Jinghe frowned.

Regarding Huo Jingyuan's career, although he was his childhood friend, he could only offer a few words of advice: "Forget it, you and your sister-in-law can discuss it yourselves."

"Ah."

After saying that, Huo Jingyuan's gaze fell on Xiao Chuan's tender face, scrutinizing him closely. He hadn't paid much attention to Xiao Chuan's face when he last came to the ward.

Looking closely now, he does resemble Sister Xu somewhat. He sighed softly and asked, "Sister Xu, how did she leave?"

Xu Jinghe replied, "The Beijing Military Region said it was an accident."

Xiao Chuan answered in his childish voice, "It wasn't an accident. Daddy was in a car accident first, and Mommy was too sad and then she passed away."

"How do you know?" Huo Jingyuan asked in return.

"That's what the grandma next door said."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jinghe and Huo Jingyuan exchanged a glance.

Xu's older sister had a falling out with the family over Xiao Chuan's father, which was quite ugly. So, in recent years, the Xu family elders have explicitly forbidden any contact with her.

If discovered, they will be kicked out of the house like she was.

Although Xu Jinghe has not had any contact with his sister over the years, he has been asking around about her situation through various means, and he has also been giving her and her husband some resources.
