Daddy Always Gets Jealous

And there she was in her military uniform, looking valiant and spirited.

He gave it a like, put down his phone, and started driving.

...

By the time they arrived in Winter City, it was already six in the afternoon.

Huo Qichang had received a call earlier, so by the time Jin Bo and Zhong Qin arrived, he had just finished cooking.

From the balcony of the family quarters, he saw Zun Hei, still in his military uniform, coming downstairs.

As he reached the entrance, Jin Bo and Zhong Qin were also arriving.

Huo Qichang said, ”Tired?”

He took the things from Jin Bo’s hands, followed behind Zhong Qin, his gaze falling on her,

Zhong Qin said, ”Not too bad, Adong is tired.”

Huo Qichang looked at Jin Bo, ”Any discomfort?”

Jin Bo replied, ”No.”

They all entered the building and went up to the third floor.

Upon entering the living room, Zhong Qin was a bit surprised to see the dishes on the dining table and looked at Huo Qichang.

Huo Qichang placed the items on the nearby sofa, feeling a bit embarrassed, ”It’s my first time cooking, not sure if it’s good.”

Zhong Qin didn’t expect him to cook, and it was all dishes she liked.

Jin Bo glanced over; besides the pickled fish he mentioned, old Huo also prepared several dishes his mother liked. Not bad, quite thoughtful.

”Mom, let’s go wash our hands.”

Zhong Qin and Jin Bo went to wash their hands while Huo Qichang served the rice and got chopsticks.

By the time they came out, Commander Huo had everything ready.

Jin Bo sat down and took a bite of the pickled fish, ”Mm, it tastes good, mom, try it.”

Zhong Qin tasted it and looked at Huo Qichang, ”How long did you study?”

Huo Qichang paused, holding the chopsticks, and answered, ”A week.”

Zhong Qin didn’t say anything, but her expression was quite pleasant.

Jin Bo glanced over; this time old Huo’s efforts had not gone to waste.

...

After dinner, he stood up, ”Dad, mom, I’m going to check on the special group.”

Huo Qichang gave Jin Bo an appreciative look, Boss was more thoughtful than Second Brother.

Zhong Qin looked at Jin Bo, ”Didn’t you say you brought a gift?”

Jin Bo looked at Zhong Qin, ”Mom, doesn’t my being here count as a gift?”

Zhong Qin burst out laughing, ”There’s actually a way to give gifts like this.”

Jin Bo looked at Zhong Qin, ”Mom, haven’t secured the person yet, giving gifts now would be too eager. Even pursuing someone requires strategy, mixing truth with lies.”

Zhong Qin, ”...”

He’s actually using military tactics from his training to pursue a girl.

Jin Bo looked at Huo Qichang, ”Dad, don’t you agree?”

Huo Qichang took a while to react, ”You... you’re pursuing a girl from the special group?”

Jin Bo, ”Yes, Huo Bei’s sister, she caught my eye.”

Huo Qichang, ”...”

The girl from the special group is actually Huo Bei’s sister!

He hadn’t noticed, and—

Suddenly it dawned on him why Boss had been calling so frequently this past week; turns out there was an ulterior motive.

But, one thing is for another; considering Yan Xiaoxi’s popularity in the military, he solemnly remarked, ”You really have to perform well, many young guys in the unit are interested in her and pursuing her closely.”

Jin Bo, ”...”

Why hadn’t he thought of that!

So many monks and too little meat to go around!

Luckily he came in time.

”I’m off then.”

Huo Qichang, ”Go ahead, do you have money? If not, I can give you some.”

Jin Bo, ”...”

He’s thirty-four already, does he still need to ask his father for money to pursue a woman?

”No need.”

As he finished speaking, he was already out the door.

Huo Qichang called his guard officer, ”Go accompany Huo Jindong to the special group.”

The guard officer lived next door and quickly went out, catching up with Jin Bo.

When they arrived, they saw a group of people who had just finished dinner sitting together chatting, a bunch of big boys in camouflage surrounding Yan Xiaoxi, talking and laughing.
