Chapter 78 Soothing the Child
Upon hearing his sister-in-law call him "Huaqiang," Wang Huaqiang's hair stood on end, his face changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice, "Sister-in-law, please don't, just call me Wang Huaqiang!"

Huaqiang is his nickname. Only a very few people in the army call him by his nickname. If the "Living Yama" (a powerful figure in the military) knew, his life would be in danger!

Wen Ci paused for a moment, then smiled. When she was a female war goddess, her subordinates were just as timid. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is Commander Huo really that scary?"

Wang Huaqiang nodded vigorously.

"If you're busy, go ahead and do your thing. I'll go find him myself."

"Ok."

After Wang Huaqiang left, Wen Ci walked towards Huo Jingyuan's office. The corridor was silent, and Huo Jingyuan's figure could be seen through the semi-transparent glass.

Like a thief, Wen Ci crouched down, went around the window, stood at the door, and knocked.

"So fast?"

The man's deep voice rang out. He still had some things to take care of and asked Xue Li to get him a meal from the cafeteria.

He had just arrived at the office when Xue Li returned.
Wen Ci didn't make a sound, but crouched down by the door to hide. Given Huo Jingyuan's height, he couldn't see her crouching by the door from a normal distance.

Wait until he's confused, then stand up and give him a surprise.

"Xue Li?" Huo Jingyuan called out tentatively.

After a while, Huo Jingyuan walked steadily toward the door, looked around, and then frowned slightly.

"surprise!"

Wen Ci suddenly jumped up, her fox-like eyes shining brightly. She stared straight at Huo Jingyuan and said with a smile, "How is it? Aren't you surprised?"

Huo Jingyuan's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and he chuckled softly, clearly in a good mood. His voice was gentle: "Aci, what brings you here?"

Wen Ci picked up the insulated lunchbox in her hand, her eyes crinkling into a smile, and said, "Sister Jing left you some food. I came here specifically to deliver supplies to Commander Huo."

"Did you leave some for me?"

"OK."

Huo Jingyuan reached out and took the lunchbox from Wen Ci's hand. He invited Wen Ci into his office, where the office of a regimental commander was a shared office.

It was lunchtime, and only Huo Jingyuan was still there. "Are you all alone?"

"They've all gone to eat."

"Ow."

Suddenly, Huo Jingyuan remembered that Wen Ci had just said something in English. He looked at him with a curious gaze and asked, "Ci, how come you can speak English?"

His daughter, Aci, is the biological daughter of the Jiang family, but she grew up in the village.

"Uh……"

Wen Ci pondered how to explain.

I can't exactly tell Huo Jingyuan that I'm a time traveler, can I?
Wen Ci's eyes lit up: "Back then, our village was a place where educated youth were sent to the countryside. There was a young female educated youth who could speak English, and I was eager to learn, so I picked up a few sentences from her."

Will they recognize it?

Wen Ci nodded: "I can recognize a little."

“Our Aci is so smart.”

Hearing the man's praise, Wen Ci's face flushed red. Huo Jingyuan spoke as if he were coaxing a child, his eyes lowered slightly.

"Eat quickly."

"it is good."

Huo Jingyuan opened the lunchbox; the aroma was enticing and the food was still steaming. He swallowed hard. He arrived home in the early morning and slept until nine o'clock.

The cafeteria has already finished serving breakfast.

I spent the whole morning hungry.
-
Not long after, several regimental commanders walked into the office.

Smelling the delicious aroma filling the room, he walked over to Huo Jingyuan's desk and saw a pretty young girl sitting next to him. He teased, "Commander Huo, it's one thing to have special treatment, but why do you need a girl to bring you food?"
