Chapter 2038: Chapter 1941: Can’t Beat You to Death

After finding out that the little guy would get shocked upon non-homospecific contact, Huo Sining no longer dared to let ordinary people get close. Fortunately, as Yue Shuwen mentioned, although there was no one else at her home, there were plenty of maids, and besides Yue Shuwen, Zhong Xiaoyao and Qibao could also help her take care of the child, so Huo Sining wasn’t worried that no one would look after the child once brought back.

However, she didn’t dare let Ji Kun hold the child, because she was very worried that Ji Kun, like Wu Jun, would be electrocuted to the ground by the kid.

If the child were as big as Qibao, at least Huo Sining could try to reason with her, so she wouldn’t easily strike those close to her.

But now, this child was clearly a little baby whose consciousness wasn’t fully developed yet, so it was impossible to understand her reasoning. Huo Sining even doubted whether this mischievous kid could completely control her internal properties and just relied on instincts for self-defense.

That’s why, when original beings approached the little child, nothing abnormal happened, but when ordinary beings got close, she would automatically defend and counterattack, all happening unconsciously. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

After observing for a while, Huo Sining became increasingly convinced of her suspicions.

However, at the moment, what Huo Sining had to consider was not this issue, but her difficult mentor.

She certainly knew that the reason Zhou Shitao was so angry was because of her. Her mentor usually didn’t smile much but genuinely cared for her, treating her as if she were his own child. That’s why he couldn’t stand seeing her suffer grievances.

While feeling touched, Huo Sining also found herself conflicted inside.

After all, this mischievous kid really wasn’t her child, but she didn’t know how to explain it or where to start.

On Gu Xu’s side, things moved quickly. Almost at the same time Zhou Shitao made the call, he couldn’t wait to rush to the airport, boarded the fastest flight to Fucheng, and upon arriving at Fucheng Airport, Wu Jun was already waiting for him. After rushing and rushing, he finally arrived at the hotel where his wife stayed right on the dot at six o’clock.

Throughout the journey, Wu Jun scrutinized his captain’s face over and over as if trying to find some inherited traits similar to that little one, until Gu Xu felt a bit creeped out. Only then did Wu Jun turn his head, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitated.

Gu Xu noticed that Wu Jun seemed to want to say something, but after half a day, didn’t utter a word, making Gu Xu slightly impatient. He couldn’t help but ask directly, "What on earth do you want to say?"

Wu Jun hesitated for a moment but didn’t say it in the end. It wasn’t until the car arrived at the hotel, and after Wu Jun opened the door to let Gu Xu get out, seeing Gu Xu hurriedly walk into the hotel lobby, that Wu Jun finally exclaimed harshly:

"Miss Huo is both my boss and my future sister-in-law. Even though she’s your wife, she’s still way too young, Captain, you’ve gone too far this time—you’re just being a brute!"

Gu Xu stumbled and almost fell to the ground. He couldn’t help but turn back to look at Wu Jun, and said angrily:

"You’re meddling too much, how am I the brute? That’s my wife, I’m rightfully justified, unlike some people who have the heart but no guts—you’re even worse than a brute! Future sister-in-law, seriously?! You and Su Qingqing have nothing going on right now!"

Gu Xu, always sharp-tongued, clearly struck Wu Jun’s face with redness.

No way, a few months ago, they had advised Wu Jun to propose to Su Qingqing right after Gu Xu and Huo Sining’s wedding when the bride would toss her bouquet directly into Su Qingqing’s hands, making Wu Jun propose on the spot in front of the Su family elders.

The plan seemed to be well-made, and a group of people had given advice to Wu Jun. The next steps for the proposal were already laid out at the venue, but unfortunately, at the crucial moment, the protagonist, Mr. Wu, suddenly disappeared.

Because of this, Gu Xu was so furious that he nearly ground his teeth to dust, calling Wu Jun a coward, and even declared he would never bother with Wu Jun and Su Qingqing’s stupid business again.

Wu Jun knew he was in the wrong, so whenever Gu Xu and Huo Sining teased him about it, he felt like digging himself a hole to hide in.

Unexpectedly, today Gu Xu brought it up again, even scolding him as less than a brute, so Wu Jun felt a bit defiant: "Just wait, sooner or later, I’ll make you call me brother-in-law!"

Gu Xu sneered disdainfully: "With you being such a coward, it’ll be sooner or later for me to call you brother-in-law? I think sooner or later your wife will become someone else’s, and by then don’t come crying to me!"

The elevator door chimed behind them, and Gu Xu turned and walked inside, quickly reaching outside Huo Sining’s room.

Knocks sounded, and the door opened from inside. Gu Xu just barely showed a smile before a long object extended out. Before he even had time to react, he was shocked by the vigorous appearance of Zhou Shitao.

Zhou Shitao wielded a clothes rack, really going at Gu Xu with it, clearly wanting to teach him a harsh lesson.

Seeing this, Gu Xu hurriedly dodged to the side, shouting into the room while evading: "Wife, your mentor wants to beat me to death, come help! If you don’t, your husband will be half-crippled!"

Huo Sining stood in the room; hearing Gu Xu’s shouts, she quickly tossed aside the little guy and ran out. Seeing her mentor beating Gu Xu fiercely, although she knew Gu Xu had tough skin and was a special forces soldier who wouldn’t be hurt much from a few blows, her mentor’s fierce demeanor clearly meant to beat someone to a pulp. Huo Sining felt a bit scared and couldn’t help but step forward to intervene.

"Mentor, stop, stop, please stop, listen to our explanation first, and then decide whether to hit him, okay?"

While mediating, Huo Sining was caught by the clothes rack, leaving several marks on her hand that drew a hiss from her, wrinkling her brows in pain.

Seeing that Huo Sining got hurt, Zhou Shitao immediately felt awkward, cursing verbally, but his actions and force slowed down.

Beside them, Ji Kun hurriedly advised, "Mentor, please don’t get angry yet, Gu Xu can’t run away. Listen to the junior sister first and then hit him; it’s not too late."

Zhou Shitao turned his head, glanced at Gu Xu who was affectionately blowing on his wife’s hand, snorted unhappily, threw the clothes rack onto the ground, then turned around, sat on the sofa with arms crossed, waiting for the two to explain.
