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

Chapter 79 Until tomorrow morning!
They knew Huo Jingyuan was married, and they also knew that the young woman sitting next to him was his newlywed wife, so they continued to tease him: "Young lady, you're a good cook."

Wen Ci blushed.

Huo Jingyuan introduced them to Wen Ci: "These are Commander Meng, Commander Zhou, and Commander Xie." Then, his gaze swept over the group of rough-looking men, and he said indifferently:
"My wife, Wen Ci."

Meng Ran stared wide-eyed at Huo Jingyuan, her face full of confusion. "Isn't your wife the daughter of the Jiang family in the capital? Why does she have the surname Wen?"

Wen Ci never expected that there would be people in the Northwest Military Region who knew her biological parents.

Before Wen Ci could speak, Huo Jingyuan explained calmly, "Wen Ci, she takes her mother's surname."

Meng Ran frowned. In his memory, Minister Jiang's wife in Beijing didn't seem to have the surname Wen.

Immediately, seeing Huo Jingyuan's deadpan expression, he didn't press the matter further.

Wen Ci changed the subject: "I can't cook. These were all made by Zhu Jing, the new head chef in the cafeteria."

"No wonder, I was wondering why the food at lunchtime today was different from the past few days. It turns out Chef Zhu took the day off."

Several team leaders were present when they discussed whether to approve Zhu Jing's appointment as head chef. Since the change in head chef, they have been eating in the cafeteria these past few days.

Wen Ci's eyes curved into a smile.

The regimental commanders looked a bit older, and their skin was tanned by the Northwest climate, while Huo Jingyuan was a bit fairer than them.

Huo Jingyuan's gaze fell on the group, his eyelids slightly lowered, and his calm voice was unhurried, as if urging them: "Aren't you going to take a nap after lunch?"

The group was very perceptive; they even closed the door behind them as they left.

In the corridor, Meng Ran suddenly remembered Minister Jiang's wife's name—Su Guilan.

Like his mother, he had the character "Lan" in his name, and the two knew each other.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xun asked from the side.

Meng Ran shook her head: "It's nothing."

In the office:

Wen Ci urged Huo Jingyuan, "Commander Huo, what are you waiting for? The food will get cold if you don't eat soon."

Huo Jingyuan's eyes darted around as he ate his meal while watching Wen Ci.

The once quiet corridor was suddenly filled with the sound of several brisk footsteps. Wen Ci's ears twitched, and she slowly said, "I'll go back now." She paused, "Are you coming back tonight?"

"Go back." Huo Jingyuan's dark eyes met Wen Ci's eyes, a dark light gleaming in them, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "I'm on vacation tomorrow, let's see if A-Ci is still so arrogant."

The man's voice was deep, and his words implied that he was going to teach her a lesson that night.

Wen Ci lowered his head.

Huo Jingyuan deliberately leaned close to her ear and said, "Tomorrow morning."

Wen Ci: "..."

That scoundrel is deliberately repeating what he said.

The man continued, "Don't worry, I'll know what I'm doing."

The office door opened, and Wen Ci, one of the dozen or so regimental commanders in the entire Northwest Military Region, stood up from her seat and rolled her eyes at Huo Jingyuan.

"Wash your food clean and bring it home after get off work."

After saying that, Wen Ci ran out of the office with a flushed face, brushing past several regimental commanders.

"Is this your wife?" someone asked.

"Ah."

"That sounds like a pretty bad temper."

"No." Huo Jingyuan's lips curled slightly as he explained with a faint smile, "I said a few dirty words to her, and she got angry."

"You little rascal!"

They witnessed Huo Jingyuan grow from a boy into a strong and upright man in the Northwest, and he has remained single all these years.

I thought he was incapable.
