Chapter 1613: Chapter 1632: Watching the Gate
The Huo Family had already reached its third generation by his time, and all the connections and networks meant that he couldn’t just resign from the military at will. In other aspects, he had absolute freedom, except for this particular matter.
Sometimes Huo Beijiang was quite envious of Zuo Xinyao!
He just resigned whenever he wanted to.
If he could resign too, that would be great, then he would have enough time to accompany his wife, pamper her. He would personally be her bodyguard and surely protect her well, ensuring no one could bully her.
Make all the women in the world envious of her.
"Then where would you get the time?" Nan Fei expressed doubt. "I’m telling you, don’t try to fool me, it won’t work! I’m already used to it." In their past life, ten years of marriage. The two spent more time apart than together, and aside from her pushing for divorce, Bei Jiang being too busy was a major reason.
"I’m not lying to you, I’m really not lying." Huo Beijiang said hastily, "In Kannaya, I’ve been messing around recklessly. Don’t be fooled by how everyone’s saying I should go all out now. But when I get back, they’ll definitely settle the score. By then, it’ll either be logistics or the kitchen team, anyway, those old leaders are always lacking originality, I’ve gotten used to it."
Nan Fei: "..." What? How did she hear a sense of pride in that?
This... Is that something to be proud of? Isn’t he embarrassed?
Also... with the way Bei Jiang is handling things right now, if she were the leader, she’d be furious too.
After pausing for a while, Nan Fei asked with difficulty, "So what do you plan to do? Join the kitchen team as a chef? Or feed the pigs?"
Huo Beijiang’s handsome face darkened, feeling quite wronged, he lightly bit Nan Fei on the collarbone and then said with dissatisfaction, "Guard the gate then! I want to guard the gate, so when I finish my mission and return, I’ll go guard the gate, that way I have time every day."
"But isn’t guarding the gate a job where you’d have to stay in the duty room all the time?"
Huo Beijiang looked at her with an expression like "Wife, you’re so silly," slightly loosened his hold on Nan Fei, pinched her cheek gently, and then said, "I’ll get someone to cover for me, I don’t have to do it myself. As a commander, that’s not possible, but anyone can guard the gate."
Thinking of it this way, being demoted isn’t so bad! Plus, he’s in a good mood about it.
Nan Fei paused for a moment, then said with a conflicted expression, "Did you earn as many merits as you caused troubles? No, is it more merits or more troubles?" Actually, she had been quite curious about this in their past life too.
Because in their past life, she knew Bei Jiang had a room specifically for military honors and various medals. It was truly filled with all sorts of medals, she had been in there once, and it dazzled her.
But... now she suspected that behind those military honors, there seemed to be troubles involved?
Huo Beijiang suddenly pulled Nan Fei tightly into his embrace, saying unhappily, "Wife, if you don’t mention that, you’re still my sweetheart baby."
"What if I do mention it?"
"Then I’ll be your sweetheart baby."
So after ten seconds of hesitation, Nan Fei decided, "Alright, I won’t mention it then!" This rascal is too thick-skinned, can’t beat that, can’t beat that!
"Do you want a drink? Or some milk?" Huo Beijiang got up attentively, filled a cup on the tray to seventy percent full, and asked delightedly.
"Milk!"
"Wife, did you say milk on purpose because you knew I didn’t bring it up?"
Nan Fei nodded with a smile, "Mm-hmm! That’s what you get for bragging and deliberately asking me!" Serves you right!
