Chapter 225
“I think brother-in-law is a good man . You look happy now, sister . Though I hate to part with you, it will be better for you to return to the General’s Manor . ”
Ah Zhao feels a flow of warmth in her heart and hugs the kid in front of her instinctively .
Qi Jun puts his arm around her waist, breathing hard, he says:
“I’ve heard that for a married woman, her strongest backing is her parents . However, father isn't reliable . I will study hard . When I grow up, I’ll join the army and become a man as strong as the general . Sister, wait till I grow up . By then, I’ll be your strongest backing . ”
Ah Zhao feels a lump in her breast . She strokes Qi Jun’s head and answers with a smile: “All right . I’ll wait till you grow up . ”
Qi Zhao has a good brother .
It is a pity that she wasn't able to wait till he grows up .
Without either of them noticing, Huo Jun returns .
Watching the sister and brother in a hug, he says with a frown: “She is my wife . Surely, I am her strongest backing . Boy, don't waste your time thinking about that . ”
A married woman’s strongest backing is her parents? What is that? His woman doesn’t need to count on anyone else .
Qi Jun gets away from Ah Zhao and straightens up .
He doesn’t want to act like a spoiled child in front of others, afraid that he’ll be looked down on .
Looking at Huo Jun, he says as if he is a grown-up: “Brother-in-law, treat my sister well . ”
Huo Jun looks back at him .
Ah Zhao knows Huo Jun's temper . He won't respond .
However, to her surprise, Huo Jun nods seriously and says: “I will . ”
By the time they leave Qi Family’s manor, Huo Jun helps Ah Zhao into the car and turns to Qi Jun: “Boy, when you miss your sister, come to my manor . ”

Qi Jun nods hard .
He watches the black car vanish at the crossroad .
In the car, Huo Jun tells Ah Zhao: “Your brother is a good boy . ”
Ah Zhao says proudly: “Of course . He is my brother . ”
Huo Jun can't see her like that . It makes him want to bully her .
Thinking of that, he looks at the guard who is driving in the front row, finding his existence annoying .
Feeling a chill down his spine for no reason, the guard shudders .
When they return to the General’s Manor, it’s already late .
They have dinner together and wash afterwards .

When they are about to go to sleep, Huo Jun's expression suddenly changes .
Putting on his coat which he took off a second ago quickly, he speaks to Ah Zhao in a hurried tone: “I have something to attend to and won't be back tonight . Don't wait for me . Sleep early . ”
Confused, Ah Zhao asks: “Huh, what is that?”
Huo Jun doesn’t answer her and leaves in a rush .
Ah Zhao feels a bit worried .
She sends for Lv Zhu . “What is it that takes the general away?”
Lv Zhu shakes her head . “I don't dare to ask the general about it . ”
Seeing Ah Zhao's worry, she comforts her: “My Lady, don't worry . I think the general can deal with it no matter what it is . You should go to sleep by now . Otherwise, the general will be distressed if he sees you in a bad shape tomorrow . ” She helps Ah Zhao to bed and tucks her in .

Ah Zhao lies in bed and thinks something must have gone wrong .
Huo Jun didn’t have anything to attend to before . Why did he suddenly leave when they were going to sleep?
Nobody sought him out . If it was so, that somebody shouldn't have come at this time of day .
Besides, she finds his expression a bit strange, though she isn't sure whether it is just her illusion .
The longer she thinks about it, the stranger she feels so she gets out of bed .
“Cotton candy, I’m going to look for him . ”
She doesn’t expect cotton candy to tell her what the male lead is up to, but she still asks:
“You know where he is, don't you?”
