My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 552: 552, the secret has been eavesdropped.

She remembered that her eldest brother had always liked Sister Jinghua, but mysteriously, Sister Jinghua disappeared five years ago, and her brother hastily married Xiu Xin. Shortly after, they brought back Fu Ziyang, who was still a baby at the time.

Although Sister-in-law Xiu Xin wasn’t bad, she was gentle and kind, with a good temper. She treated her like a real little sister.

But Fu Qi still found it very strange.

In the past, she thought that her eldest brother would be with Sister Jinghua forever. She even fantasized that after her brother and Sister Jinghua got married and she married Brother Jingshen, the two families could become closer to each other, they could even have their weddings together.

“Let’s talk about this issue later, it’s too complicated. I have to go to the hospital to look after your brother.”

Fu Qi frowned, “I’m just thinking, how can I make a man fall in love with me? I regret it now. If I had known that Brother Jingshen didn’t like Dong Manjiao, I should have made a move earlier! Can I still take some medicine to make the uncooked rice into cooked rice now?”

“Uncooked rice into cooked rice?” Xiu Xin laughed, “Fu Qi, what are you thinking about?”

“I just think that since Brother Jingshen is already married and can’t be with me, I plan to offer myself to Brother Jingshen. I’ve waited for him for so many years, and I’ve kept my body for him, I believe, Brother Jingshen would definitely like it.”

“My goodness, Fu Qi, you must not do anything foolish, understand? Your brother doesn’t have time to take care of you now. You have to take good care of yourself in Nancheng. Wait for us to find you. You can’t continue thinking like this. Promise me, don’t act rashly…”

After advising for a while, Xiu Xin finally said, “Okay, remember everything I said. I have to go to the hospital now. Happy New Year.”

“Sister-in-law, same to you.”

She hung up the phone, Fu Qi stood there, sighing deeply.

Offering herself to Huo Jingshen was a decision she had made recently.

She grew up abroad and didn’t place much importance on chastity.

Since her many years of love had no outcome, why couldn’t she offer her best self to Brother Jingshen?

She had never had a boyfriend before, and she believed that Brother Jingshen would definitely like her, putting an end to her many years of unrequited love.

She confided this private matter to Xiu Xin, expecting to be supported, but she didn’t expect…

Sigh.

A sudden gust of cold wind passed by, which was biting cold.

Fu Qi turned around melancholically, about to walk away, when she suddenly felt something and raised her head abruptly.

As a result, she was scared out of her wits.

On the balcony upstairs, a gray-green figure stood tall.

It was Brother Jingshen’s younger brother, his name was…Huo Nuanyang?

He was dressed in a gray-green uniform with a deep brown sweater over his shirt — tall, with long legs, straight as a pine, with a serious and stern expression, and his eyes even sharper.

The direction he was looking at was exactly where she stood.

At the thought of Huo Nuanyang being the captain of a special forces team in the X squad, Fu Qi felt so nervous.

Had he heard her whole conversation just now?

While she was lost in thought, Huo Nuanyang’s voice suddenly sounded, “What are you doing?”

Startled, Fu Qi shivered, “Nothing….”

Seeing her pale face, Huo Nuanyang frowned.

Was he so scary?

But even if he was scary, what needed to be said, still needed to be said.

As an elder, he couldn’t watch a young girl lose her way.

So Huo Nuanyang continued to say stiffly, “My older brother is already married to my sister-in-law. Don’t disrupt their relationship.”

Fu Qi’s legs began to tremble, she could hardly stand straight.

Oh no!

He had heard everything. What should she do?

The next second, Huo Nuanyang turned around, pulled the glass door open and walked inside.

The balcony was suddenly empty.

Fu Qi stood there, at first she was surprised, then puzzled, and finally immersed in an unparalleled unease.

Would Huo Nuanyang tell Su Wanwan about her plan to offer herself?

A wave of cold wind hit her, and Fu Qi began to tremble, she was already on the verge of breaking down.

**

So, during the New Year’s Eve dinner, Fu Qi kept glancing at Huo Nuanyang.

She was anxious.

That man had heard her whole conversation in the afternoon.

Would he tattle?

However, her incessant glancing attracted some people’s attention.

“Fu Qi, who are you looking at?” Su Wanwan asked jokingly.

Fu Qi was taken aback and quickly looked away.

Catching Su Wanwan’s squinting eyes, and feeling guilty and nervous, with the added fact that everyone at the table was part of the Huo family, Fu Qi blushed and stammered, “No…nothing.”

Su Wanwan glanced at Huo Nuanyang.

At that moment, Huo Nuanyang was looking at Fu Qi.

Fu Qi inadvertently glanced at Huo Nuanyang again and they ended up making eye contact.

Fu Qi was caught off guard and quickly lowered her head, almost burying her face in the small bowl.

Originally, only Su Wanwan noticed, but now, the reactions of the two had caught the attention of everyone sitting at the table.

However,…

Mingzhu just thought that their eldest son was too handsome.

He was fit, he had good temperament, and it was normal for young girls to admire such heroes.

The other men didn’t think too much of it – she was a young girl after all; shy and alone in a strange land.

But a chill ran down old Mrs. Huo’s spine.

Oh my, what kind of trouble is this?

Could it be that Nuanyang has taken a liking to this Fu Qi?

But Fu Qi obviously fancies her great-grandson!

What a mess this is.

She remembered Xiang Ranxin, who she originally planned to introduce to Huo Nuanyang, but then Ranxin laid eyes on Huo Jingshen midway.

Even though Huo Nuanyang never said anything about it, she still felt guilty as an elder, always feeling that she owed her second grandson.

It’s all because their eldest grandson is too outstanding!

She looked towards Huo Jingshen.

As expected, Huo Jingshen was elegantly removing the shell of a crab for Su Wanwan.

He carefully placed the stripped crab roe into his wife’s small bowl, gently reminding her, “This is yin food, dip it with some vinegar and only eat a little.”

“Hmm.” Su Wanwan replied, her mouth full, making it difficult for her to articulate.

The more Mrs. Huo watched, the more pleased she was.

Not only was her grandson handsome, but he was also increasingly considerate towards his wife, so no wonder his popularity among women kept growing.

It was just a pity for Nuanyang, who was set to face heartbreak again.

During the New Year’s Eve dinner, they ate, drank and chatted about family affairs while the Spring Festival Gala played on the television screen.

The young people didn’t seem to be interested in these shows though; after dinner, each of them sat with their smartphones and started playing.

Some were snatching red envelopes, some were busy sending New Year’s blessings through text messages, some were browsing TikTok, and others were playing games.

Other than a constantly anxious Fu Qi, everyone else was enjoying the rare Spring Festival holiday.

The servants were also busy in the kitchen preparing meat filling and glutinous rice flour, to make Yuanbao dumplings the next morning.

In Nancheng, there’s a custom to have round Yuanbao and long Yuanbao for breakfast on the morning of the first day of the New Year.

Round Yuanbao are sweet dumplings with black sesame filling, and long Yuanbao are dumplings with meat filling, named for their shapes.

When it was a little past nine in the evening, the elders took out their red envelopes and distributed them to the younger generation.

Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, Huo Juncheng, and Mingzhu each gave Su Wanwan a red envelope, making her very happy.

The rest of the juniors also received four envelopes each.

Just as everyone was enjoying the moment, Huo Jingshen suddenly took out a red envelope and handed it to Su Wanwan.

Su Wanwan’s eyes lit up.

Her ten-thousand-yuan red envelope!

She quickly reached out and took it, “Thank you, husband!”

Huo Zhexi immediately screwed up his handsome face, “Brother, that’s not fair, you’re only giving red envelopes to your wife? What about me?!”

Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows at him, “You want one?”

Huo Zhexi eagerly nodded his head.

Who didn’t know that his big brother was a rich tycoon? The money he would give away might be a substantial amount!

However, Huo Jingshen smirked wryly, “Find a wife who knows how to make money, so that she can give you a red envelope every year.”

Huo Zhexi: “…”

Su Wanwan also: “…”

Isn’t he lumping her together with that spendthrift Zhexi?

Mingzhu spoke up, “Enough! Stop acting like a child. You’re 23 years old, and you’re still asking your older brother for a red envelope, aren’t you ashamed? Come on, it’s time to go home.”

Huo Zhexi pouted, unhappy, and followed his parents home.

As the eldest son, Huo Nuanyang remained seated on the sofa without moving, watching the Spring Festival Gala with a straight posture.

Fu Qi once again started to overthink things.

This is not going well!

This soldier is planning to stay behind to tattle on her to Su Wanwan, isn’t he?

What should I do? What should I do?

Just as Huo Nuanyang suddenly got up and walked to the balcony, Fu Qi stole a glance at him. Noticing that no one was paying attention, she hurriedly followed him out.
