Old Lady Huo looked down, “My, this is a luxury watch isn’t it? It has to be worth more than a million.”
“More than a million? Isn’t it too expensive?” Old Lord Chu chuckled with satisfaction, then continued to grumble, “This stinking boy. He knows my birthday is coming up, so he gets in early with a gift. At least he’s somewhat dutiful.”
Old Lord Huo humphed twice, picked up his newspaper indifferently, and resumed reading.
“Old Madam, should we use the crucian carps to make a soup or braise them?” a servant’s voice asked from the kitchen.
Old Madam Huo quickly replied, “Make soup out of them.”
“Are we expecting guests?” Old Lord Chu inquired.
“No, Ashen is bringing his wife over for dinner.”
“Your boy, Ashen, already found a wife?” Old Lord Chu exclaimed, both surprised and envious, “In that case, I must give her a good look. I haven’t even met her yet.”
“She’ll be here soon. My granddaughter-in-law is absolutely stunning!”
**
The beautiful granddaughter-in-law was currently shivering in the passenger seat.
Huo Jingshen had come to pick her up from school, but he had brought not only Fu Ziyang with him but also KO.
Even though KO was sitting in the back seat with Fu Ziyang, Su Wanwan was still terrified and held her guard up, prepared for the worst if KO decided to pounce on her like he had done before at the airport.
“KO doesn’t bite. Don’t be afraid.” Huo Jingshen put one hand on her head to comfort her before starting to drive.
Su Wanwan didn’t respond.
Actually, she didn’t even dare to make a sound.
Fu Ziyang knew that his little Auntie was scared of dogs, so he tried to hold KO in place, but still…
Maybe KO hadn’t been brought out for a while. Just a few minutes into the drive, they passed by a large billboard in downtown with a sultry model featured on it.
Seeing the model, KO’s eyes gleamed and he opened his mouth to let out an excited howl, “Awoo!”
“Ah!” Su Wanwan screamed and threw herself at Huo Jingshen out of shock…
The black Mu Shang car hissed to a stop by the side of the road.
And then.
“Baby, are you…trying to seduce me?!”
Su Wanwan was clutching his neck for dear life, almost completely climbing on top of him, and her hands kept scratching around.
Meanwhile, in the back seat, KO was howling even more excitedly because the car had stopped, “Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!”
His howls had rhythm and intensity.
Between KO’s howls and Su Wanwan’s screams, it was complete chaos in the car.
Finally, Huo Jingshen said, impatiently, “KO, if you continue howling, you will have to get out of the car and run home yourself.”
KO:
Seeing the stern expression on his owner’s face, KO whimpered and buried its head into Fu Ziyang’s arms.
Seeking comfort.
Fu Ziyang patted KO’s head, instructing it with his sweet voice, “KO, be good and quiet.”
KO didn’t dare make any more noise.
Otherwise, it would become the first dog in Nancheng to be kicked out of a car and to run home by itself.
Huo Jingshen also patted the little lady in his arms, “It’s okay, KO is just too captivated by beautiful women.”
Hearing this, KO seemed unhappy.
How does the saying go? The dog follows its master’s lead! It’s because of your teachings that I’m like this!
However, KO didn’t dare protest, and could only wag its tail discontentedly.
Su Wanwan began to calm down but was still too frightened to lift her head and whispered, in a voice like that of a mute ostrich, “I’m scared.”
The small lass was usually fearless and audacious, unafraid of anything and could even stand up to him. But now, she was shivering and whispering about being scared.
Huo Jingshen’s heart instantly softened. He gently stroked her head and comforted her with his soothing voice, “Don’t be, don’t be. Hubby’s here, sweetie.”
“Little Auntie,” Fu Ziyang also said, “KO is actually a good boy and doesn’t bite. You don’t have to be scared. I’ll keep him on a tight leash.”
Huo Jingshen rubbed her back, “See, even a five-year-old child is braver than you.”
Su Wanwan:
Damn it… She didn’t want to be so timid either.
But she had been bitten by a dog when she was young, and the mean dog had chased her for an entire block. The fear was so deeply ingrained that just seeing a dog would make her scared, let alone seeing a gigantic black dog like KO.
“I’ll put on some music. You don’t have to look back. If you’re scared, hold my arm.”
In his arms, Su Wanwan remained stiff for a while before finally nodding after he spoke.
Huo Jingshen let go of her and turned on the car’s stereo.
Throughout the drive, Su Wanwan sat close to him, her arms around his right arm and her body tense as if she were sitting on pins and needles.
As soon as they arrived at the military district compound and the car stopped, Su Wanwan immediately let go of him, jumped out of the car, and sprinted towards the house.
Huo Jingshen:”…”
What an ungrateful wretch.
She discarded him as soon as she didn’t need him anymore.
“Wanwan is here.”
“Hello Grandma, hello Grandpa.” After greeting the elders, Su Wanwan bent down to change into slippers. But before she could change…
“Lord Chu, quick, look at my granddaughter-in-law.”
Su Wanwan quickly lifted her head.
Lord Chu, a skinny, elderly man dressed in a black robe appeared in her line of sight. He had an elegant and graceful manner, a semi-white beard, and was dressed like a storyteller.
“Wanwan, this is your Grandpa Chu.”
“Hello, Grandpa Chu.” Su Wanwan promptly greeted him in the sweetest voice..
