Chapter 254: 2054 Visiting Cousin

Chuyi accidentally bumped into his firm chest and exclaimed in pain, “Ouch!”

“Don’t come back unless it’s necessary,” Huo Shiqian said indifferently, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

Naturally, it was directed at the Xia Family, especially Mother Xia.

Chuyi obediently replied, “I’ve already told… that woman, apart from visiting my dad’s grave, I won’t come back.”

Upon hearing this, the man’s presence immediately became much less intense.

She lowered her head, smiled, and then leaned into his embrace, absorbing his warmth for a long time.

A few seconds later, she added, “Brother Shi Qian, you have to trust me, I can handle these matters.”

After a while, he replied, “Hmm.”

His arms around her tightened even more.

Upon arriving in Ling County, Chuyi suggested to him, “Brother Shi Qian, let’s go and see Uncle and Xiao Gui.”

At these words, Huo Shiqian first raised his eyebrows, then indifferently asked, “We can see the cousin now? Afraid our relationship might upset him?”

Chuyi was silent.

Uncle Liberation Army was concerned because she had never agreed to let him visit Xiao Gui and hadn’t formally introduced him to her cousin yet.

Chuyi smiled at him pleasingly and said, “No worries, Xiao Gui’s recovery is much better than I expected! The doctor said he is doing well.”

“And after all, Xiao Gui should meet his brother-in-law!”

Meet his brother-in-law?

The ice around Uncle Liberation Army thawed into spring water.

“Hmm.” He kept a straight face and replied in an incredibly calm tone.

Chuyi craftily smiled, “I knew it, Uncle Liberation Army cares about this.”

Then, she suddenly became serious and said, “I also need to tell Uncle about my mother’s situation.”

After all, everything was her own decision.

Huo Shiqian nodded upon hearing this, and said, “Indeed.”

He then instructed the police to take them directly to the hospital.

Once they arrived at the hospital, Huo Shiqian, leading his little girl, confidently headed straight to his cousin’s ward.

It seemed they had been expected for a while.

“Chuyi, Commander Huo, what brings you here?” When the two appeared hand in hand in the ward, both Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia were somewhat surprised.

After all, since Xiao Gui woke up, the two had not visited the ward together yet.

“Uncle, Aunt, I brought Brother Shi Qian to see Xiao Gui,” Chuyi moved up front, smiling warmly at her uncle and aunt.

“Uncle, Aunt.” Huo Shiqian did not stop her little movements, merely following with a polite greeting.

“Uh, oh, alright, alright.” The elders had little else to say.

They were already aware of their situation and had accepted it—Commander Huo as their son-in-law was quite excellent indeed.

Everyone was overly natural and calm, yet someone on the bed was not calm…

“Sis?” Zhao Xiaogui, wide-eyed, stared at his sister holding hands with Huo Shiqian and blurted out, “What’s going on?”

Looking at his expression, if it weren’t for his injury, he probably would have jumped up.

Chuyi very calmly introduced for her cousin, “Xiao Gui, this is your brother-in-law.”

Her tone was very serious and straightforward.

On the bed, Zhao Xiaogui was slightly stunned.

Uncle Xia laughed on the side and said, “Yes, your brother-in-law! Son, quickly call Commander Huo ‘brother-in-law’!”

Aunt Xia: …

Zhao Xiaogui finally reacted, his expression visibly shifting from surprise to delight.

He beamed a big smile and happily exclaimed, “Hello, brother-in-law!”

Huo Shiqian nodded, “Hello, cousin.”

Things were not perfect in the Xia Family, but the little girl’s uncle’s family was still wonderful.
