Liu Jiang patted his chest and guaranteed it.
"Of course it's true. I'm the only one in the entire military region who's closest to Commander Huo. My firsthand intelligence is guaranteed to be accurate."
They all wore expressions of disbelief and envy.
"I really can't believe it. Commander Huo usually seems so cold, and he hasn't even had a female mosquito around him for so many years. How could he be so good to his wife?"
"Am I the only one who envies Huo Tuan for having a wife who traveled thousands of miles for love? My God, when will God smile upon me too?"
Huo Qizheng, who had just undergone surgery and was still lying in the intensive care unit, had no idea that he had never even met his wife before being portrayed by outsiders as a cold-faced, secretly passionate man who washed his underwear.
Lin Han bumped into Qin Shuman on the way home, who was in a hurry to get off work and go home to cook.
"Hanhan, you're back? I'll hurry back and cook."
Lin Han was staying at Qin Shuman's house, and she was quite observant about how to do chores.
"Aunt Qin, let me help you."
Qin Shuman didn't really want Lin Han's help, but she was afraid that Lin Han would be bored, so she gave her a bag of peanuts.
"Could you peel the peanuts for me? I can fry some peanuts for your uncle later."
Lin Han had a bag of peanuts on her left and an enamel basin on her right. She peeled the peanuts one by one and put them into the enamel basin.
Qin Shuman was much busier, but because the meal was for Lin Han, she worked with extra energy.
First, steam the rice, then start preparing the braised pork. Clean the seafood and steam some of it, and braise the rest with scallions. I don't know if Hanhan likes spicy food, but the clams taste best when they're cooked spicy.
After cooking the meat and vegetables, she also stir-fried tomatoes and eggs, putting more eggs than tomatoes.
Leafy greens are also essential, so let's stir-fry some bok choy. Eating some greens after eating meat can help cut through the richness.
"Hanhan, after you finish shelling the peanuts, go back to your room and rest. The kitchen is greasy and not suitable for a young girl to come in."
Knowing that her cooking skills were not very good, Lin Han did not try to make things worse, and listened to Qin Shuman and went back to her room.
She took a book from her desk, "On the Debate on the General Line of the International Communist Movement," and after reading a few pages, she started to feel sleepy. She lay down on the bed and fell asleep shortly afterward.
After getting off work, Zhou Fei went to the intensive care unit again.
Lin Han, as a family member, cannot enter, but she can.
She stood in front of Huo Qizheng's sickbed, and the broken feeling of the man lying there quietly struck her heart.
Her fingertips gently traced the bridge of Huo Qizheng's nose, as if she were tracing a precious world-famous painting.
"Huo Qizheng, as long as you say you don't want to be with Lin Han, I'll go and beg my dad for you. You can't force a relationship. I'll help you fight for your freedom."
Zhou Fei stayed in the intensive care unit for about half an hour before changing her clothes and leaving get off work.
When she got home, she smelled the aroma of food filling the yard.
"Mom, why are you making so much delicious food today? Is it some special day?"
She mentally went through her own birthday and Gu Huaiming and Qin Shuman's anniversary, but none of them were it. Could it be that the matter of the whistleblower letter had been resolved and her mother was celebrating for her?
Zhou Fei stepped forward to help.
"Mom, I knew you were the best to me. You even made so many delicious things for me. Thank you, Mom."
Qin Shuman was somewhat embarrassed, this...
"Feifei, Mom met a girl we really clicked with and brought her to live with us. She's a very nice person, so you'll have to take good care of her from now on."
"Little girl? Who is she?"
When Zhou Fei came out of the kitchen, she saw Lin Han coming out of the room that Qin Shuman had specially reserved for her son.
Qin Shuman treasures this room very much and doesn't usually let anyone in easily.
