Chapter 33

Huo Miaoyue almost spit out her food. She felt sorry for her cousin. Compared to him, her own situation was nothing.

“Pfft, grandma is right.”

Shu Wan covered her mouth and looked at Huo Zhengye with a smile. When she saw him looking at her, she raised her eyebrows and looked back.

Huo Zhengye frowned, and Shu Wan became even more shameless.

She wasn’t trying to use grandma to delay the divorce, was she? Was her previous straightforward agreement just a smokescreen?

Huo Zhengye’s heart sank. He had already asked for leave and would take his grandmother to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. The doctor should be able to help her return to normal.

By then, no matter what Shu Wan planned, she was doomed to be disappointed.

“I have taken a day off tomorrow and will take grandma to the hospital for a check-up.” Huo Zhengye put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice.

Huo Miaoyue cheered, “When grandma returns to normal, someone will be in trouble.”

Grandma Huo couldn’t hear clearly, but seeing Shu Wan’s dim eyes, she intuitively felt that someone had made Xixi unhappy.

He glared at Huo Miaoyue, who instantly turned into a quail and lowered her head to eat.

Shu Wan was sad for a moment, then recovered. The corners of her mouth curled up, and she laughed at the fact that the past two days of getting along had made her feel more greedy.

Originally, this love was based on the fact that Grandma Huo mistook her for her sister and took her away by mistake. Now Grandma Huo went to the hospital for a check-up and would return to the village soon, and they would never meet again.

Moreover, she and Huo Zhengye are about to divorce, so they are destined not to be a family.

Thinking of this, Shu Wan stopped smiling and decided to cherish the time they spent together.

There were two scenes at the dining table. On one side, Shu Wan and Grandma Huo were eating with smiles on their faces. On the other side, one was concentrating on eating while the other was looking thoughtful.

At this time, there was one more thing that Grandma Huo was glaring at.

Whenever Huo Zhengye’s gaze lingered on Shu Wan for one second longer, he would kill her with his daggers.

Huo Zhengye was helpless, and finally realized that the gears of fate had fallen on him.

After dinner, Grandma Huo happily pulled Shu Wan into the room.

Huo Zhengye lingered at the door of the room, thinking about how to call Shu Wan out so that they could have a good talk.

Before I knocked on the door, I saw Grandma Huo coming out.

When he saw Huo Zhengye, his eyes widened and he put his hands on his hips and said, “Go wash the dishes quickly. How can you get a wife if you are so lazy!”

“Go boil some water after you finish washing the dishes!”

“After boiling the water, organize the things we collected this afternoon.”

“Clean up and then go weed the yard. Anyway, don’t come in.”

After saying that, snap! The door closed tightly.

Huo Zhengye stood there, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He turned around and went back to work as his grandmother had said.

As soon as she entered the room, Grandma Huo patted her chest and said, “What’s wrong with this kid? His face is so scary.”

Shu Wan chuckled. That’s right. Huo Zhengye has an icy face and is famous in the army.

“Grandma, I need to measure my size.”

Shu Wan asked Grandma Huo to stand still and measured her body with a tape measure.

Grandma Huo’s eyes lit up, “Xixi, do you want to make clothes for me?”

Shu Wan nodded, “I don’t have a sewing machine yet, so I can only knit you a sweater, which is also very warm.”

“I like everything Xixi makes.” Grandma Huo clapped her hands happily.

There was tenderness on Shu Wan’s face, hiding the bitterness.

After the divorce, I will probably never see Grandma Huo again. I hope that when she wears the sweater, she can think of her occasionally.

Although Grandma Huo mistook her for her sister, she also enjoyed unconditional preference and pampering in the past two days. She thought that she would not forget it after she left.

Shu Wan finished measuring with a smile, wrote down the size on a piece of paper, and asked Grandma Huo about her preferences. After thinking about it, she had an idea.

I turned on the light and was just about to start working when I vaguely felt some movement in the yard through the window.

Shu Wan leaned out nervously and vaguely saw the man squatting on the ground.

The man had a short haircut and a well-defined profile. He was wearing a vest, revealing his well-defined arm muscles.

If this person isn’t Huo Zhengye, who else could it be?

Digging for treasure in the yard late at night?

Shu Wan was wondering when Grandma Huo came over and said, “She’s pulling weeds.”

Shu Wan was stunned, “So late?”

On this day, we couldn’t even find any gold on the ground, let alone pull up weeds.

“I told him to finish pulling the weeds before coming into the house.” Grandma Huo had a look of concealing her achievements and fame.

Shu Wan: …

“This kid is quite obedient. He does whatever you tell him to do.”

“Grandma, what else did you ask him to do?”

“Just wash the dishes, boil water, clean up, and pull weeds. Oh, the water is boiled, go take a shower quickly, don’t let the bad guys use it.”

As she spoke, Grandma Huo pushed Shu Wan out.

Shu Wan looked at the man in the yard, and then at Grandma Huo who was urging her.

Grandma, you are more exploitative than a slave owner.

After taking a shower, Huo Zhengye was still weeding in the yard. Shu Wan looked at him and couldn’t help but say, “Grandma, let him go home.”

Grandma Huo pouted, “Xixi has grown up and now loves men.”

Shu Wan: Actually, he can continue, she doesn’t care.

“Okay, stop pulling it out.” Grandma Huo shouted at Huo Zhengye.

Huo Zhengye came back sweating, “Grandma, go to bed. I’ll be done in a little while.”

Grandma Huo was not so resistant now. She felt that the young man was hardworking and obedient.

“You should rest too, but Xixi still has to sleep with me tonight, is that okay with you?”

Huo Zhengye raised his hand, “No.”

Grandma Huo nodded with satisfaction. This young man is really sensible. If he really likes Xixi, it is not impossible.

“Xixi, what about you?”

She is a democratic sister, so naturally everyone will ask.

Shu Wan met Huo Zhengye’s gloomy eyes and thought of teasing him.

“I have an opinion.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Zhengye’s face turned dark, and a trace of obvious disgust flashed across his face.

Seeing this, Shu Wan snorted in her heart, does he hate her so much?

Shu Wan shook Grandma Huo’s hand and said sharply, “Grandma, next time you should ask me if I am willing first! I don’t want to stay in the same room with him!”

“Let’s go back to the house.”

Grandma Huo ignored Huo Zhengye’s stiff face and walked away with a smile.

“Okay.” Shu Wan answered more cheerfully.

Bang, the door closed.

Huo Zhengye walked away with a gloomy face.

At night, Huo Zhengye lay in bed unable to sleep, recalling Shu Wan’s words over and over again in his mind. Was she deliberately provoking him, or did she really not care?

If you really don’t care, why are you so nice to grandma?

This woman is full of bad intentions and must be planning something bad again.

A hint of annoyance flashed across Huo Zhengye’s eyes.
