Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law-Chapter 1133 - 1132: Husband

Huo Beijiang had not gone far from the division headquarters’ grand entrance before he caught sight of a familiar figure ahead.

He was taken aback, standing still, his intense gaze like that of an eagle, landing on Nan Fei. That gaze warmed gradually from its initial indifference until it became scorching hot.

As if even the chilly early winter rain had turned warm.

Nan Fei, too, saw Huo Beijiang, and the disquiet in her heart settled at the sight of him. She tightened her grip on her umbrella handle and hastened her steps, dashing to Huo Beijiang. On tiptoes, she let go of the umbrella she was holding and stretched out her arms to wrap them proactively around his neck.

Huo Beijiang was stunned, as if struck by lightning, the hand holding the umbrella let go without him realizing, and the black umbrella fell to the ground.

The dense, cool rain that fell on the two of them added a hint of clinginess.

"I’m sorry, can you stop being mad at me? I know I was wrong," murmured Nan Fei, leaning into Bei Jiang’s embrace, her voice muffled. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"I..." Huo Beijiang’s voice was hoarse as he opened and closed his lips, struggling to say, "Wife..."

Nan Fei pursed her lips, burying her face even deeper into his solid, broad chest, and shyly responded, "Husband!"

Huo Beijiang’s pupils contracted sharply, his eyes shining with amazement. He could hardly believe the little woman in his arms, and it took him a good while to react.

What had gotten into his wife?

What had his wife just called him?

Wasn’t his wife angry? How could she offer herself so freely?

His wife had never thrown herself into his arms before; happiness had come so suddenly that he could scarcely believe it.

He feared it was all just a dream, one that would leave him with nothing upon waking.

Huo Beijiang suddenly wrapped his arms around Nan Fei’s waist, his strength astonishing.

As if he wanted to meld her into his own body.

The two were pressed tightly together, leaving no gap at all.

"What did you just call me, wife?" he asked in a whisper. Although his expression remained composed, anyone who observed closely would notice his hands were trembling slightly.

"Husband," Nan Fei called out again. The first time, she had been somewhat embarrassed, hesitating to speak.

But the second time, she had no such reservations and the word came out much more naturally.

She could feel Bei Jiang’s excitement, and her own heart began to swell with joy.

Loving someone meant wanting to make them happy.

Only when he was happy could she feel satisfied and delighted.

"Husband... husband, husband," Nan Fei repeated, her eyes smiling, deliberately saying it several times.

A somewhat foolish smile spread across Huo Beijiang’s handsome face, and in his excitement, he lifted Nan Fei high up in his arms and spun her around in circles in the rain.

Inside the guardroom at the division headquarters’ gate, several old soldiers responsible for patrols covertly looked out, their faces as blank as if they had been struck by lightning.

"Is that our division commander out there?"

"Definitely not. How could that be our division commander?"

Someone flatly denied, "The commander doesn’t like women."

Everyone gaped, turning their heads in astonishment and widening their eyes as they all looked at the person who had just spoken.

"What’s wrong?" the man who had spoken asked, scratching his head in confusion.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"No!"

"You’re very bold."

"You’re very insightful, and quite fearless."

They all looked at the speaker with eyes full of admiration, awe, and complexity.

"But... but you all don’t look like it at all!" Even he realized something was off.

"Let me ask you," the slightly older company commander of the third company stepped forward and said earnestly, "From where did you deduce that our division commander doesn’t like women?"

"I... I just thought that a hero as handsome and masculine as our commander couldn’t possibly be without women! If it wasn’t for his dislike of women, he couldn’t be so indifferent."
