Huo Jingrui led some men into the living room. "There are still some pieces of furniture that haven’t been finished, but the carpenter is rushing the work. It should be ready in a dozen or so more days, at most." Yunyi looked around the rooms on both sides and couldn’t help teasing, "The furniture isn’t finished, but the bed has been set up first?" Huo Jingrui stepped forward and naturally embraced her from behind. "I was thinking that if you came over, you’d have a place to rest." As he spoke, he rested his chin on Yunyi’s shoulder. "How about it? Are you satisfied?" Before Yunyi could answer, he added, "If there’s anything you’re not happy with, let me know, and I’ll get someone to change it." We won’t be living in this house for long anyway, and there’s no need to make it too elaborate, The two of them were sweetly affectionate in the room for a while, not worrying about people outside gossiping since their marriage application had been approved. Yunyi leaned against Huo Jingrui, fiddling with the buttons on his chest. "Oh, by the way, find someone to help me investigate Zhong Liyuan, the newcomer in Songling Village." Upon hearing this, Huo Jingrui looked down and inquired, "Is there a problem with this person?" Yunyi then recounted to Huo Jingrui in detail everything she had previously seen. "There definitely is a problem with her," she explained, "but it’s unclear who her target is, so I wanted you to have someone look into it." Huo Jingrui’s expression grew serious. "Alright, I’ll arrange it." After all, there had been no news from those hiding in the shadows, and any disturbance in Zeyang County couldn’t be overlooked. To avoid revealing any weaknesses, he hadn’t brought any assistants with him on this mission. However, Yunyi, as an unofficial member of the team, had already submitted an application explaining her involvement. After all, she had been substantially involved in the previous matters from start to finish. Moreover, Huo Jingrui had his own little plans; he was eager to use any time outside of work to develop his relationship with the young woman and wouldn’t pass up any opportunity. Besides, even without an official application, Yunyi couldn’t possibly have remained uninvolved. With that status, if there were an emergency, she could use her certificate to request assistance from the local Armed Forces Department. Realizing this, he whispered, "The special identification I applied for you has arrived. Come with me to the office later, and I’ll give it to you." Yunyi lifted her head to meet his gaze. "Tell me honestly, what’s going on with Pan Huixin?" Huo Jingrui pulled her back into his arms. "Don’t worry. Before, besides my relatives, I only saw people as men or women. Now, I only see my wife, family members, and others." He wasn’t just saying this to make Yunyi happy; that was genuinely how he was. Official source ıs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩 Whether in the compound or in the army, his face was usually as impassive as an iceberg. Only when facing his family could his expression be called gentle. Despite this, there were still quite a few girls who secretly harbored feelings for him. But the man was simply clueless about romance. He never showed a pleasant face to girls who expressed interest, chiefly because he was also sharp-tongued. Pan Huixin was the exception. No matter how Huo Jingrui treated her, she never changed her initial intent. She firmly believed that one day he would be moved by her devotion. After being affectionate for a while longer, they heard someone knocking on the door. Exchanging a glance, Yunyi got off Huo Jingrui’s lap, and they both adjusted their clothes. Huo Jingrui kissed Yunyi’s forehead. "I’ll go see who it is," he said. With that, he left the room. "Who is it?" he called out as he headed for the main door. A man’s voice came from outside. "Vice Factory Director Huo, we’ve come to deliver the finished furniture." Huo Jingrui hadn’t expected them so soon and quickly moved to open the main door. "How did you know I was at the family compound?" The carpenter smiled. "I came by earlier to deliver a wardrobe to Chief Lu’s house and happened to see you. So I hurried back home and had the finished pieces loaded up to be delivered here first. The remaining pieces will be ready in a few more days."
