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

Chapter 81 Only Once

"When I was helping my husband home, I ran into a comrade-in-arms, and he accidentally let slip that the winner of the Devil Week would be awarded a 28-inch bicycle."

Wen Ci thought something serious had happened, but calmly smiled and said, "What's there to apologize for? That old bicycle is going to be given away as a reward."

Zhu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

She tried to stop her man from saying it, but she was too slow and couldn't cover his mouth. She licked her lips.

"But that guy is a notorious busybody in the military region; I reckon the whole Northwest knows about him now..."

Wen Ci shrugged, completely unconcerned: "So what if I know?"

Seeing that Wen Ci was in a good mood, Zhu Jing changed the subject and asked, "Will Commander Huo be back for dinner tonight?"

Wen Ci shook her head: "I don't know."

She only asked if Huo Jingyuan would be back tonight.

I didn't ask if they would come back for dinner.

"Let's ignore him and eat first."

As the sun set, the romantic atmosphere of sunset filled the sky. There were no lights in the courtyard, so they could only eat before sunset.

Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, the setting sun gradually faded away.

Zhu Jing rolled up her sleeves and helped pick up the empty bowls and chopsticks from the table. Seeing Wen Ci also stand up, she said, "Let a few of us do the dishes."

"No, no." Wen Ci shook her head vigorously. Jingjie and the others washed the dishes at noon. It wouldn't be right to make them wash the dishes again in the evening. "You're the birthday girl, you can't wash the dishes. Let me do it."

In her mind, on the birthday of the person celebrating their birthday, they don't have to do any work; they just need to sit and enjoy themselves. This has been the case since she was a child.

"What do you mean by birthday star or anything like that?"

Finally, Wen Ci couldn't refuse her older sisters, so she only helped tidy up the table. As darkness fell, they all went home.

The once bustling courtyard became quiet after everyone left.

late at night.

When Huo Jingyuan returned from the military camp, he saw that only a kerosene lamp was lit in the living room.

Wen Ci was sitting on the sofa watching an old TV series from the 1980s when she heard the door open. She looked at him and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten." With that, Huo Jingyuan slowly took off his coat, revealing his muscular chest and the outline of his abdominal muscles that could be faintly seen below his waist.

Wen Ci's eyes widened: "So direct?"

"Didn't you say it would be until tomorrow morning?"

Wen Ci curled up in the corner of the sofa, hugging herself tightly with both hands in a gesture of resistance, her tone anxious: "No, I have to go to work tomorrow."

Huo Jingyuan approached step by step, his strong arms lifting the person off the sofa, his deep eyes looking down at the person in his arms.

"Did you take advantage of my exhaustion last night to spout nonsense?"

The man's voice was deep and seductive as he stroked her back with his fingertips, chuckling softly, "I've regained my energy today. Let's see if you dare to spout nonsense again."

Wen Ci quickly begged for forgiveness: "I was wrong, Commander Huo, I will never dare to talk nonsense again."

"If you make a mistake, you must be punished."

Wen Ci gritted her teeth: "What if I'm not wrong?"

"Then teach them a lesson they won't forget."

Wen Ci: "..."

So, it's as if I'm right or wrong.

They're all going to get a lesson tonight.

Wen Ci sighed softly, deciding to give up resisting, and said firmly, "Only once!"

"not enough."
-
The night was still long, and Wen Ci was exhausted and drowsy.

As dawn broke, Huo Jingyuan noticed that his wife showed no signs of waking up. Looking at Wen Ci's peaceful sleeping face, he couldn't help but stroke her brow.

His movements were so quiet that he didn't wake anyone.

Before getting out of bed, Huo Jingyuan pulled the blanket up a bit, then went to the living room to call the hospital using the landline and asked Wen Ci for a day off for her wedding.
