He was oblivious to the fact that the official announcement photo had blown up in the WeChat group.
Everything was smooth sailing.
Just like their hitch-free marriage.
Su Wanwan thought they were going back to the military compound, but to her surprise, Mu Shang pulled up at the “Tianquan Royal Court”.
It’s the most prominent affluent residence in Nancheng, located near the fourth ring of Nancheng, the inspiration for its design sourced from Europe’s most renowned architects.
It is said that even a slight fluctuation in the mood of the homeowners here could impact the GDP of the whole of Nancheng, earning it the nickname of “barometer of Nancheng”.
Mu Shang pulled up in a yard and stopped.
Su Wanwan got out of the car first and saw several fancy cars parked in the garage ahead, all either Maybachs or Ferraris.
Her husband sure lived a lavish life!
“Woof!”
Suddenly, the barking of a dog echoed.
Su Wanwan turned around and saw a dark shadow rushing at her like an arrow.
“Ahhhhhhhh!” Su Wanwan shrieked, quickly turned around, and practically with all fours, clung onto Huo Jingshen in an instant.
All within a second.
Huo Jingshen arched his eyebrow, naturally reaching out to support her.
“Hurry!” Su Wanwan held onto his neck firmly, her voice trembling, “Get the dog away!”
“Woof!” The dog had already run up to them, raising its front paws and sticking out its tongue.
Wanwan felt a strange, clammy sensation on her leg…
“Ahhhhhhhh!” Su Wanwan almost collapsed in fear, her voice breaking, “Hurry, get it away, I’m terrified of dogs!”
Huo Jingshen:
Um.
The feeling of having a legitimate reason to hold his wife after getting married was not bad, but soon…
“Holy shit!”
“Tsk tsk.”
“Hehe.”
Three beaming third wheels came out from the villa.
Huo Jingshen had no choice but to speak up, “Xiao San, take Ko back.”
“Damn it, how many times have I told you, don’t call me Xiao San!” Nangong Ci complained, but obediently took the dog leash anyway.
Ko was also unhappy.
Ever since it arrived in China, no one had taken it for a walk. It hardly saw its master, and now it was wrong to show its affection to its owner?
The German Shepherd felt wronged as it was led away, looking back three times with every step.
Huo Jingshen patted the back of the young girl’s head, “It’s safe now.”
Su Wanwan slowly lifted her head, first looking around to make sure the dog was gone, and then…
She saw two unfamiliar young men standing behind her.
Both were very tall.
One holding a glass of red wine, with a devilishly handsome face and a rather feminine air about him. His thin lips pulled up in a smirk, clearly he wasn’t someone to mess with.
The other had his hands in his pockets, sporting black-rimmed glasses, a plaid shirt, and trousers. Though he appeared scholarly and refined, his expressionless face gave off an otaku vibe.
Holy shit!
Blushing, she quickly jumped down from Huo Jingshen’s arms.
“Has the case in the mansion been handled?” Huo Jingshen asked indifferently.
“Didn’t you say you’re going public and wanted us to come celebrate?” Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrow, his alluring eyes swiftly sizing up Su Wanwan, he asked, “How old is this girl? Is she even eighteen?”
“Call her sister-in-law.” No sooner had Huo Jingshen spoken.
“Sister-in-law.” The emotionless man immediately complied.
“Damn it Lu, can’t you have some decency?” Chu Xiuhuang looked at Lu Chenyu with disdain.
This damn kid usually remained silent, every day with that impassive face, acting all deep and restrained. But now he’s suddenly taking the initiative?
Lu Chenyu said word by word, “Even if it’s an older man marrying a younger woman, she’s still sister-in-law.”
Huo Jingshen’s face darkened.
Su Wanwan coughed.
Chu Xiuhuang pursed his lips and drained his glass of red wine in one go.
Even if he was an older man who’s marrying a younger girl, how could he, Mr. Chu, call a young girl his sister-in-law?
Sorry, he just couldn’t say it.
“You can leave now.” Huo Jingshen started to hustle the guests out.
“C’mon bro.” Nangong Ci rushed back from the dog house, hastily explaining, “I specially called these guys over to celebrate your announcement, Little Mingzi is abroad, we’ll include him next time.”
He finished, then started winking, “Yo, Miss Su, you move so quickly…”
“Call her sister-in-law.” Lu Chenyu interrupted.
Chu Xiuhuang couldn’t help but give him another side-eye, was this kid on drugs today?
Why was he talking so much?
And why was he so eager to please?
“Sister-in-law!” Nangong Ci’s loud voice startled Ko in the doghouse, causing it to howl.
Su Wanwan had an instinctive fear of dogs and unconsciously moved towards Huo Jingshen, holding onto his arm.
Her helpless and innocent demeanor was truly endearing. Huo Jingshen felt a softness in his heart. His mood instantly brightened, his eyebrows relaxed, and the corner of his lips rose slightly.
Chu Xiuhuang’s eyelid twitched as he watched.
Damn it, this man smiling like an idiot… was that Huo Jingshen?
He must be mistaking him for Shi Lezhi (a fictional Japanese character known for his constant smile)..
