On his first night as a substitute bride accompanying the army, the abstinent tycoon dropped his pre

Chapter 48 Isn't your man Captain Xue?
Who is this little bean sprout?

Huo Jingyuan pushed open the door and walked straight into the living room. His voice was deep and slow, yet it sounded somewhat authoritative.

Startled by Huo Jingyuan's voice, the little monkey stood up from the soft sofa, pouting as he looked at the man who was even taller than his father.

Her eyes immediately filled with tears.

"Why are you crying?"

Huo Jingyuan frowned. He had been taught since childhood that a real man should not shed tears easily, yet the little boy in front of him cried just from looking at him.

So cowardly!

Wen Ci had already washed the vegetables in the kitchen. Hearing Huo Jingyuan's voice, she came out of the kitchen with her hands still wet, saying, "Don't scare the little rascal."

Who is Little Monkey?

"Jing's son."

As she spoke, Wen Ci slowly walked to Huo Jingyuan's side, personally helping him put on the waistband. Her red lips curved slightly as she looked at him with a smile:
"I've already washed the vegetables, and I'm just waiting for you to cook."

Her cooking skills are so bad that every bite is a breathtaking experience. It doesn't matter if it's just for herself, but the problem is that there's a little kid in the family now.

"Me, cook?"

"Otherwise what?" Wen Ci tilted her head.

Huo Jingyuan smiled, reached out and pinched her soft cheek, a helpless yet doting smile on his face, and gently coaxed, "Whatever Madam says goes."

Wen Ci blushed and said, "The baby is still here."

As soon as Huo Jingyuan entered the kitchen, Wen Ci sat down next to the little monkey. Seeing that he was still standing there blankly, she asked, "Why are you still standing?"

"fierce."

"Who's fierce?"

The little monkey pointed at Huo Jingyuan and sidled up to Wen Ci. He whispered, "That uncle looks so fierce, even fiercer than my dad. I'm scared."

"fierce?"

Wen Ci laughed so hard she was shaking with laughter, as if she had heard a hilarious joke.

In her eyes, Huo Jingyuan was extremely handsome, a classic example of striking good looks. Even if he hadn't joined the military, he would have a place in the entertainment industry.

"Mmm, super fierce."

The little monkey nodded vigorously.

In the kitchen, Huo Jingyuan heated the oil in the pan, then poured the meat into it and stir-fried it with practiced ease. The stir-fry didn't take long.

The troublesome part is the food preparation process.

A few minutes later, Huo Jingyuan came out of the kitchen carrying two dishes. He and Wen Ci usually cooked two dishes at home, one meat and one vegetable.

Today's dish is: stir-fried green peppers with shredded pork and potato slices.

Even with a few extra little ones, it's enough to eat.

Huo Jingyuan slowly asked, "Is the rice cooked?"

Wen Ci had just stood up from the sofa when she heard Huo Jingyuan's words. She froze and forced an awkward smile: "I forgot."

"Then I'll go to the cafeteria to get it."

Wen Ci volunteered: "I'll go, and while I'm at it, I'll tell Sister Jing that Pi Hou is at our house."

The phrase "our family" brought an undisguised happiness to Huo Jingyuan's lips.

"Pretty sister, I want to go too."

Wen Ci patted his head and said, "You and your uncle stay home obediently."

"Do not……"

Before he could even utter the word "want," the little monkey caught a glimpse of Huo Jingyuan's expression out of the corner of his eye, immediately shut his mouth, and shrank into the corner of the sofa.

Wen Ci took three lunchboxes to the cafeteria and saw Zhu Jing helping to get the food. She walked to the window and said sweetly, "Sister Jing, please get me three lunchboxes."

"Why would you beg for food?" Zhu Jing asked, somewhat puzzled.

She had just gotten two boxes of food for Xue Li, so why was Wen Ci getting food again?

"I cooked the dishes at home, but forgot to cook the rice." As she spoke, Wen Ci remembered Little Monkey and said, "I ran into Little Monkey at the door when I got off work. He's at my house now."

"After we finish eating, I'll take him back." Although Zhu Jing didn't understand, she still got food for Wen Ci. When Wen Ci mentioned that the little monkey was at her house, she exclaimed, "Oh dear, isn't that too much trouble?"

“We’re talking about this.”

While getting her food, Zhu Jing asked curiously, "Ali, didn't your husband just get some food and go home? Why did you get three more boxes of rice?"

"Huh?" Wen Ci looked confused. "When did this happen?"

"About five or six minutes ago."

Wen Ci was even more confused. Huo Jingyuan was cooking at home just five or six minutes ago. How could he possibly be getting food in the cafeteria?

"Sister Jing, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"I can't be mistaken, I do know Captain Xue."

Hearing this, Wen Ci breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Sister Jing with a smile, saying, "Sister Jing, you didn't mistake Xue Li for my man, did you?"

"Isn't it?"

Wen Ci shook her head: "No."

Several soldiers were standing behind her getting their meals. After they finished, she said, "I'm leaving now. I'll bring Little Monkey back tonight and we can talk then."
-
back home.

Wen Ci told Huo Jingyuan about how Sister Jing mistook Xue Li for her husband, and jokingly said, "When Sister Jing told me, I was startled. I was wondering when you jumped out of the kitchen."

Huo Jingyuan's face darkened.

“Make me public.”

No one would have guessed that the "King of Hell" of the Northwest Military Region would actually act coquettishly towards his wife in private.

The little monkey ate quietly.

Wen Ci: "Little monkey, is the food Uncle cooked delicious?"

"is acceptable."

Although Zhu Jing's family doesn't usually eat particularly well, as a chef, Zhu Jing can make even the most ordinary dishes taste incredibly delicious.

In the Northwest Military Region, it usually gets dark late. After Wen Ci finished eating, he led the little monkey for a walk. Blood-red clouds lingered on the horizon, and the sunset and Gobi Desert were as beautiful as a painting.

Wen Ci looked down and asked, "Are you full?"

"Mmm, I'm full." The little monkey looked up at Wen Ci and asked, "Pretty sister, can I watch cartoons with Awang and the others tomorrow?"

This was the first time he had ever watched an animated film.

After a moment's thought, Wen Ci replied, "This requires the other aunties' consent. If they agree, you can come and see after dinner."

"Great!" The little monkey's face lit up with a smile.

In front of the family building, several children were playing in the mud outside the courtyard. When they saw Little Monkey, they all ran towards him, calling out in their childish voices, "Brother Little Monkey."

The little monkey is the oldest among them, practically the eldest.

"I watched an animated film today, it was super, super, super good."

The word 'super' was a word he learned in class today.

"What are animated films?" Awang asked.

Sister Qin's family has twins; the older one is a brother named Awang, and the younger one is a sister named Ahua. Sister Li's son, who just started kindergarten, is named Xiaoshitou (Little Stone).

Ahua raised her hand: "I know, Teacher Jiang mentioned it today. Cartoons are for us kids, they're really good."

"How come I didn't know that Teacher Jiang mentioned that?"

"Brother, you went to sleep in class."

Listening to what the little ones were saying, Wen Ci raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Jiang Ye had adapted quite quickly and was already teaching at school the next day.

"The pretty lady's house has a TV, and it's even in color."

Zhu Jing was extremely curious about Wen Ci's husband. She had initially thought it was Xue Li, but it turned out not to be. Hearing Wen Ci's voice from upstairs, she came downstairs with her rice bowl.

As soon as I went downstairs, I heard my little rascal say that Wen Ci's family had a TV, and it even had a color screen. My eyes widened immediately.
