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

Chapter 58 Huo Jingyuan, are you an idiot?
Huo Jingyuan lowered his eyelids slightly, dappled shadows of trees outside the wall illuminating the pavilion. He reached out and patted her head, his gaze filled with a tender smile.
"not enough."

The master tailor he knew came from a family of tailors who had been making clothes for generations. The clothes he made by hand cost at least a hundred yuan.

Wen Ci pursed her lips.

The price is too high, so I'll pass.

The military hospital only provides a small amount of public funds, and we still need to make two sets of water sleeve costumes. It's really not cost-effective to hire a master tailor to make the clothes. We need to spend the money wisely.

"Never mind then, I'll go sightseeing in Haishi with Dr. Yu instead."

"When? I'll take you."

Wen Ci waved her hand and refused: "Dr. Yu and I are not sure when we will go to Haishi, so you don't need to see us off. We can just take the bus."

The two sat in the courtyard until six o'clock. Huo Jingyuan got up from his seat to prepare to cook the dishes, which would only take a few minutes.

After finishing cooking, Wen Ci took a bowl from the kitchen and served it rice.

She sat opposite Huo Jingyuan, holding a pair of wooden chopsticks in her hand, her tone full of anticipation, and said, "Let me see what Chef Huo has made today."

Three dishes and one soup.

Huo Jingyuan slowly sat down, glancing at Wen Ci's expression out of the corner of his eye. He needed to calmly confess to her and take the initiative to admit his mistakes.

The reason is simple: he lied.

The one he and she did * together, Wen Ci ran her hand over her chest, where the wound was barely visible to the naked eye.

But the two were completely open with each other and had physical contact.

At the time, he didn't think much of it and was immersed in the tenderness with Wen Ci, so he casually said, "It's not important, it was an injury sustained on the battlefield."

"how?"

Wen Ci, with her exceptionally sharp intuition, sensed that Huo Jingyuan was secretly observing her and asked directly, "If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."

“You’ve been staying home after get off work lately.”

"Ok?"

Wen Ci frowned slightly, sensing something amiss in the man's somewhat indifferent tone. She put down her chopsticks and her gaze lingered on Huo Jingyuan's face:
"Can you tell me why?" Huo Jingyuan thought for a moment and tried to tell Wen Ci the story briefly. Halfway through, he noticed that Wen Ci hadn't touched her chopsticks at all.

He stared silently at Wen Ci.

"Why are not you talking?"

Huo Jingyuan smiled faintly, "The food will get cold if we don't eat it soon."

Wen Ci: "..."

I was so engrossed in listening that I almost forgot about this.

When she spoke of drawing her sword, Wen Ci's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of chilling killing intent flashing in her pupils. But she quickly composed herself.

"Huo Jingyuan, are you stupid? Why didn't you dodge back then? That was the chest, the place where a knife pierces the body with the highest mortality rate."

Wen Ci's tone was a mixture of anger, confusion, and resentment.

Huo Jingyuan smiled faintly.

"Don't laugh." Wen Ci said seriously.

Huo Jingyuan explained, "My sister-in-law just can't accept the shock of Brother Qin's death and needs to vent her anger. She won't really hurt me."

In earlier years, when the situation was not so peaceful.

At that time, there were no hospitals in Northwest China, only rudimentary tents. There were very few doctors and even nurses. Family members accompanying the troops volunteered to serve as nurses.

Help bandage wounds and treat patients.

Although they had not received formal medical training, their practical experience made them more familiar with human injuries, even when a knife was stabbed into the chest.

If the heart and blood vessels are not damaged, the person can survive.

And just as he expected, he survived.
