Chapter 255: 2055 Lucky to have three lives
In the hospital ward, all that could be heard was Zhao Xiaogui excitedly shouting, "Wow, my brother-in-law is Huo Commander!"
"That’s really great!" The cousin’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he said, "Brother-in-law, let me tell you, my sister has a gentle and virtuous temperament, she’s also kind and intelligent, her skills are top-notch!"
"Brother-in-law, you being able to marry my sister is the blessing of many lifetimes for you!" The pride in his voice was so strong it was almost tangible. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"You child, what kind of language is that?" Aunt Xia, hearing the words of her own son, had to restrain herself from physically reprimanding him, considering he was still a patient.
"Huo Commander, please don’t mind him, he’s just a kid and doesn’t know what he’s saying," Aunt Xia hurriedly explained, worried that Huo Shiqian might take it the wrong way.
While saying that, she shot a look at her husband, signaling Uncle Xia to also say something positive.
However, Uncle Xia just chuckled twice without saying anything, because in his mind,
even though Huo Commander was an excellent man, his Xia Chuyi was indeed very good too.
Good job, son!
He gave Zhao Xiaogui an encouraging look behind his wife’s back.
Aunt Xia: Hmph, as an old married couple, she could see his little scheming behind her back.
She had no choice but to step forward herself, pulling Xia Chuyi over and saying to Huo Shiqian, "Huo Commander, our Chuyi is still young and sometimes acts thoughtlessly, so there might be things she doesn’t do well."
"You, being a little bit older than Chuyi, must be patient with her!"
Aunt Xia gave Chuyi the signal to say something herself.
But Xia Chuyi, just like Uncle Xia, merely smiled with pursed lips and remained silent.
Actually, she understood the thoughts of her uncle, aunt, and cousin very well.
They all wanted what was best for her; it was just that they had different starting points.
So, she didn’t take sides and just turned to Huo Shiqian to see his reaction.
"My cousin is absolutely right. If I could marry her, it would be the luck of three lifetimes," Huo Shiqian said calmly.
"However, since that hasn’t happened yet, for now, it’s just the fortune of this lifetime," he said with a serene expression.
The crowd paused for a moment. What was Huo Commander implying?
With no reservations, Zhao Xiaogui’s eyes flickered and he immediately shouted, "Then hurry and marry her, and it will be the luck of three lifetimes!"
Huo Shiqian’s gaze turned toward his cousin: "My cousin is correct," he said with a note of approval.
Xia Chuyi, who had been watching the play unfold, suddenly coughed twice.
"What’s wrong, sis? Don’t you agree?" Zhao Xiaogui, noticing something off in his cousin’s demeanor, asked her hesitantly.
Xia Chuyi glanced at Huo Shiqian and pouted: Uncle Liberation Army is cunning!
"Cough cough, Xiao Gui, did you forget that your sister plans to take the college entrance exam?" She quickly composed her expression and said to her cousin.
The cousin blinked, having an epiphany, "Right, I totally forgot about that!"
"So if you don’t get into college, you could just get married straight away!"
Xia Chuyi: ...Truly deserves a beating.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Xiaogui added, "But if you do get into college, you’ll be a university student then, and that means the marriage would have to be postponed."
Xia Chuyi nodded to herself: Hm, at last the cousin is being sensible.
"Brother-in-law, could you wait a few years for my sister?" Zhao Xiaogui suddenly asked with twinkling eyes, "Don’t worry, you are a great catch, imposing and dignified, handsome and high-ranking!"
"You’re much better than that scumbag He Qing. My sister would definitely not abandon you!"
Aunt Xia: ...No, she wants to stuff this odious son back into her womb!
