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

Chapter 51 The Great Furnace

After Jiang Ye left, Huo Jingyuan locked the iron gate to the courtyard. Wen Ci pressed herself against him, hugging his muscular arm, and said with a smile:
"It's so cold outside, but you're like a furnace."

"Big stove?"

Huo Jingyuan's tone rose, a slight smile playing on his lips, as he leaned close to Wen Ci's ear and whispered, "Am I the furnace, or is it...?"

Wen Ci had already gotten used to Huo Jingyuan's crude jokes.

She released Huo Jingyuan's arm, jumped behind him onto his back, rested her head on his shoulder, and whispered, "You mean, you're weak?"

Only men with weak constitutions have cold body temperatures.

"Don't you know whether I'm weak or not?"

Wen Ci smiled and said, "I don't know."

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingyuan supported Wen Ci's buttocks with both hands and squatted down. The sudden squat caught Wen Ci off guard, and she wrapped her arms around the man's neck.

Her heart skipped a beat as the man stood up again.

Wen Ci let out a coquettish voice and gently pinched her ear, "Hey Huo, are you doing this on purpose?"

"What's intentional?"

"Pretending not to understand, are you?"

Huo Jingyuan carried Wen Ci back to the living room.

Suddenly, Wen Ci remembered what Su Wanqing had said during the day. She leaned close to Huo Jingyuan's ear and blew a breath into his ear, clearly feeling his body tremble.

Immediately, he asked calmly and deliberately:
"I heard that you and Dr. Su are childhood sweethearts."

Huo Jingyuan: "..."

When Huo Jingyuan felt the warm breath on his ear, his eyes turned deep. He was about to carry Wen Ci straight to the bedroom when he suddenly felt nervous.

The Youth League Committee said that if this matter is not properly resolved...

He would have a falling out with Wen Ci. Huo Jingyuan put Wen Ci down, his handsome and rugged face serious and earnest. He raised his finger and said in a deep voice, "I, Huo Jingyuan, swear to heaven that Su Wanqing and I are not childhood sweethearts."

"Then you are?"

Huo Jingyuan knew Su Wanqing because he would spend his winter and summer vacations abroad with his aunt. The Su family lived next door to him.

After listening to Huo Jingyuan's explanation, Wen Ci said, "Then you two have known each other for quite a while."

Huo Jingyuan shook his head: "Not long after I joined the army at eighteen, I never went abroad again."

Soldiers cannot travel abroad at will, and as the youngest officer in the Northwest, it was very troublesome for him to go abroad. So his aunt would come back once a year.

Huo Jingyuan's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He leaned in and kissed Wen Ci's eyebrows and eyes: "Aci, you can trust me unconditionally from now on."

"Unconditional?"

Wen Ci wrapped her arms around his neck, staring intently at the man before her, watching his Adam's apple bob up and down, and said with a smirk, "If I leave a mark on Commander Huo's neck, won't my subordinates laugh at me?"

The three words 'Commander Huo' came out of Wen Ci's mouth.

The title seemed incredibly alluring, causing the man's deep eyes to darken and his gaze to become intense, as if he were about to tear her apart and devour her whole.

"will not."

In the past, men in the Northwest Military Region even used the marks left by women as something to brag about, mocking unmarried virgins.

Huo Jingyuan was a naive child who was ridiculed.

Although it wasn't the first time with Wen Ci, she had never intentionally left any marks on him. When Wen Ci brought it up, he was overjoyed.

"Aci, it's up to you whether I can laugh at others."

As he spoke, he wrapped his arm around Wen Ci's waist and pulled her into his embrace, his hand rubbing against her sensitive waist as he said in a deep, magnetic voice, "Leave more on your neck."
