Chapter 144 My Brother-in-Law is Great

When Huo Jingyuan entered the room.

Wen Yaozu was slumped on the sofa watching TV when he heard the door open and looked towards the entrance.

Then, a tall man walked in.

His eyes lit up immediately. "It's my brother-in-law!"

Although I have never seen what my brother-in-law looks like, I have heard about his heroic deeds from various sources. He became a regimental commander at a young age.

Huo Jingyuan's lips curled up slightly when he heard the words "brother-in-law".

After carefully examining Wen Yaozu's physique, she walked to the sofa, turned off the TV in the living room, and said coldly, "What time is it? You're still watching TV. Aren't you supposed to exercise first thing tomorrow morning?"

Wen Yaozu's eyes widened.

My brother-in-law said it was a good idea.

Are you going to talk behind my back and reduce my exercise when I get back?!
They turn their backs on you and refuse to acknowledge you.

"Brother-in-law, how could you do this?"

"What?" Huo Jingyuan asked.

Huo Jingyuan's imposing military aura intimidated Wen Yaozu, who immediately shut his mouth, lowered his head, and said aggrievedly, "Didn't you promise to put in a good word for me?!"

"Who would have thought you were so fat?"

Huo Jingyuan wasn't trying to discourage him. When they were in the hospital, he thought it was normal for Wen Yaozu to gain weight because he was growing and eating a lot.

After all, there's an old saying: "A half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home."

If you really meet Wen Yaozu, you really should lose weight.

Huo Jingyuan grabbed Wen Yaozu by the collar with one hand and lifted him up a little. With a slight strain, he squinted and said solemnly, "At your age, you should lose weight, otherwise you'll have a hard time finding a wife in the future."

"Why?" Wen Yaozu asked.

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingyuan curled his lips into a smile, a low chuckle escaping his throat, and teased, "Obese boys in puberty are ugly when they're fat."

Huo Jingyuan patted Wen Yaozu on the shoulder, "Your sister is doing this for your own good. Try to lose weight." Wen Yaozu raised his head, his gaze firm.

Starting tomorrow, I must work hard to lose weight and stop being lazy.

Let's lose weight first.

"Brother-in-law, I'm going to bed now."

"Go."

Seeing Wen Yaozu return to his room, Huo Jingyuan looked toward the stairs leading to the second floor. He went upstairs very quietly and opened the door to the master bedroom.

I heard Wen Ci's steady breathing.

The man tiptoed to the bedside and, through the dim light from the doorway, saw that the thin blanket covering Wen Ci had slumped down to her waist and abdomen. He reached out and covered her with the blanket again.

He knew that Wen Ci was so sound asleep because she was extremely exhausted.

Just as he was about to go to the next room, his large, warm hand was grasped by a small, delicate hand, and a sleepy voice sounded: "Huo Jingyuan?"

“It’s me,” Huo Jingyuan replied.

He turned to look at Wen Ci, who had already opened her eyes on the bed. Perhaps because Wen Ci had just woken up, her almond-shaped eyes shone with a captivating light.

Huo Jingyuan stared intently at Wen Ci with his deep, ink-black eyes. Her loose-fitting clothes revealed a glimpse of her fair skin.

"woke up."

Wen Ci raised her hand and rubbed her eyes: "How long have I been asleep?"

"A few hours."

Wen Ci opened her arms and said in a coquettish tone, "I want to hug you."

"Ah."

The next second, Wen Ci was held in a gentle embrace. The man still smelled faintly of disinfectant. Huo Jingyuan coaxed her softly in a gentle voice:
“I will take care of you, so you don’t need to work hard to do business.”
