Chapter 221
The boy, stopped by Huo Jun, looks up and glares at him: “Who are you . . . ”
He stops in the middle of his speech due to Huo Jun's outfit and the fact that he is sitting beside his sister, which make it clear who he is .
“Are you General Huo?”
Huo Jun lowers his head and turns a bit unhappy to the boy around 11 or 12 years old who looks very alike his sister, as if he and his sister were made of one model . Because of that, General Huo decides he likes his brother-in-law .
“Brother-in-law . ” His brows rise and he lets go of the boy .
“Your sister isn’t in a good shape so don’t rush at her like that . ”
Qi Jun isn’t very afraid of him and doesn't call him brother-in-law as he is told . Instead, he walks to Ah Zhao and looks at her up and down with worries .
“Sister, I was going to look for you . Hum, they didn’t let me!” He complains immediately .
“How have you been?”
He turns to look at Huo Jun and gets closer to Ah Zhao as he whispers: “Sister, General Huo looks fierce . Has he been good to you? If not, I’ll take you away with me . I have saved up . ”
Huo Jun squeezes the armrest without any expression, imagining it is the boy under his grip .
Taking away his wife?
Does he think I can’t hear him when I’m so close?
Ah Zhao is a bit touched as she looks at the boy who is almost as tall as she is when she sits down . Qi Jun is probably the only one in this family who wishes for Qi Zhao’s happiness wholeheartedly .
She lowers her voice too and whispers back as if telling him a secret: “The general is good . He is very kind to me . ”

Having made sure that his sister looks fine, more energetic than she was at home, Qi Jun walks to Huo Jun in a serious expression like a grown-up and calls him brother-in-law .
Huo Jun looks at the boy . “Good . ”
It seems that he should give his young brother-in-law a gift for their first meeting .
However, he doesn’t have the habit to bring things with him . Feeling inside his pocket, he takes something off around his waist and passes it to Qi Jun .
Ah Zhao’s eyes widen . “What are you doing?”
Huo Jun says as a matter of fact: “A present for our first meeting . ”
Raising the gun in front of Qi Jun, he asks: “Do you like it?”

Qi Jun’s eyes are glittering .
Almost every boy loves a gun .
He grabs it at so fast a speed as if he is a robber . He is so fond of it that he looks at it again and again, very excited .
“Do you know how to use it?” Huo Jun is in quite a good mood that his present is received with joy .
Qi Jun shakes his head a bit embarrassed . Born in a merchant family, he doesn’t have a chance to learn about guns .
“I’ll teach you when you come to my manor . ”
“All right, thank you, brother-in-law!” Qi Jun speaks the term “brother-in-law” with more willingness this time .

Lord Qi, however, looks at the gun Qi Jun is holding, trembles with fear . “Well, General, Jun-er is too young to have something so dangerous . . . ”
Huo Jun looks over, whose stare successfully shuts Lord Qi up .
He seldom wastes his breath with someone he doesn't want to speak with .
Because of Qi Jun, Huo Jun and Ah Zhao stays for lunch .
Qi Ying is allowed to leave her bedroom and join everyone for the meal since it will be stranger if she isn’t seen at the lunch table .
She behaves herself at lunch without extra word or movement which makes Lady Qi relieved .
After lunch, Ah Zhao needs a rest as usual .
