Chapter 421 You actually have a daughter?
Lin Wanwan sat on the back of the pacifier and stared at Shen Mingyue coldly. This woman was so annoying. Her father had clearly rejected her, but she pretended not to understand.
Lin Wanwan shouted loudly: "Dad..."
The crisp sound of "Dad" was like a thunderclap, which instantly stunned everyone in the military camp.
When Huo Jun heard the call, his body suddenly stiffened. Then, without saying a word, he strode to Lin Wanwan and gently picked her up.
He looked doting and coaxed softly, "Hey, Daddy's here, little ancestor, what's wrong? Are you hungry again?"
Lin Wanwan nodded her little head like a rattle, and responded softly, "Daddy, I'm hungry. I want to drink milk."
When Huo Jun heard this, he immediately became flustered and rushed to the side in two steps to prepare the milk.
Shen Mingyue's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. She pointed at Lin Wanwan with a trembling finger and said, "You...you actually have a daughter?"
Huo Qing was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He was stunned for a long time before he found his voice:
"Huo Jun, when did you have a daughter?
How come there was no word of it?!"
Huo Jun continued to move without turning his head, and said coldly:
"Do I need your consent to have a daughter? Stop messing around here!
Now that you see I have a daughter, please don't bother me anymore."
After that, he kissed Lin Wanwan on the cheek and whispered softly, "Come on, Daddy will make some milk for you."
Lin Wanwan was holding the bottle and drinking it happily, her little face rosy.
Huo Jun sat aside, watching her drink milk and jokingly said:
"Little girl, you are so clever, are you calling me dad on purpose?
This call of "Dad" melted his heart.
From now on, Daddy will make milk powder for you every day, wash your dirty diapers, and play with you every day, okay?"
Lin Wanwan's eyes sparkled and she nodded hurriedly, her little body arched into Huo Jun's arms, expressing her deep love for this new father.
Huo Jun hugged her tighter. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Shen Mingyue and Huo Qing still standing there, with an impatient look on their faces: "Why are you still standing here? Are you waiting for me to set the table and invite you to the wedding banquet?"
Shen Mingyue's pretty face turned red, she felt angry and aggrieved, her eyes were filled with tears, and bean-sized tears rolled down "pat".
Huo Qing looked helpless, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Okay, let's go first!"
After returning to the military camp, Shen Mingyue completely collapsed and threw herself on the bed, crying loudly.
Shen Chongshan felt sorry for her. He frowned and looked at Huo Qing, saying firmly, "Since Huo Jun doesn't want to marry Mingyue, then you marry her."
Huo Qing panicked when he heard this and quickly waved his hands: "General Shen, I... I'm already engaged!"
Shen Chongshan glared and said angrily:
"So what if we're engaged? Mingyue's reputation has been damaged because of what you've done. If you don't marry her, how will she face people in the future?
What's more, Mingyue's father is a second-rank official, and her mother is a princess. How can they not be worthy of you? You have to think it through!"
Huo Qing fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
Seeing this, Shen Chongshan slowed down his tone:
"Huo Qing, I've watched you grow up. As long as you marry Mingyue, you'll have everything you want in the future.
The Emperor is now quite dependent on the Shen family. If you become the son-in-law of the Shen family, your future will be limitless."
Huo Qing weighed the pros and cons in his mind for a long time before he slowly said, "Uncle Shen, this matter is of great importance. I must report it to the elders at home."
Shen Chongshan nodded with satisfaction:
"Okay, give me an answer as soon as possible.
As long as you agree to this marriage, the Shen family will fully support you."
Huo Qing hesitated and said, "I'm afraid Mingyue won't agree!"
Shen Mingyue wiped the tears from her face and said:
"Why should I disagree? Huo Jun bullied me like this, I will definitely take revenge on him.
Did he think marrying a peasant girl would help him? It was a joke.
Huo Qing, if you marry me, I will help you become a true general. What do you think?
The three words "Great General" kept echoing in Huo Qing's mind. This temptation made his heart beat fast.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded solemnly, his tone firm: "Okay, it's a deal. I'll start preparing the betrothal gifts in the next two days and then come to propose marriage."
After Huo Qing left, Shen Mingyue's tense emotions collapsed instantly, tears welled up in her eyes, and her shoulders trembled violently.
Shen Chongshan looked at her distressedly, patted her on the back and said, "Okay, stop crying. Now that things have come to this point, crying won't solve the problem."
Shen Mingyue was filled with resentment, tears blurred her eyes, and her voice was filled with tears:
"Why am I inferior to her? She's plain-looking and gives off a poor vibe. Why doesn't Huo Jun like me?
I have sacrificed so much for him, how could he be so cruel! "
Shen Chongshan sighed, his eyes turned cold:
"Matters of the heart are inherently unpredictable. Now that Huo Jun has made his choice, there's no need for us to waste our time on him.
From now on, he is just a pawn in our hands."
Shen Chongshan paced back and forth in the room, a calculating look flashing in his eyes:
"After a while, I will arrange for him to lead the troops to contain the Xiongnu. Not only that, I will not allocate a single cent of military pay to him.
I want to see how long he can last without the support of the Shen family.
Isn't he unwilling to marry you? Then let him pay the price for his decision!"
Shen Mingyue listened to Shen Chongshan's words, and a flame of revenge ignited in her eyes:
"Huo Jun treated me like this, I will not let him go easily.
I want him to regret what he did today!"
Shen Chongshan patted her shoulder and comforted her:
“Don’t worry, our Shen family is not easy to mess with.
Huo Jun will pay the price for his choice.
Right now, you should just focus on preparing for your marriage with Huo Qing. The son-in-law of our Shen family will surely be very successful in the future!
Huo Jun will definitely regret it by then."
Huo Jun had no idea what kind of waves his choice would cause in the future.
At this moment, he was immersed in the joy of his new marriage, surrounded by tenderness, his heart and eyes filled with the shy and charming Zhao Qiaoniang.
Huo Jun's cheeks flushed slightly, and he stared at Zhao Qiaoniang with a fiery gaze and said, "My lady, you are dressed so beautifully today. I really can't take my eyes off you."
Zhao Qiaoniang raised the corner of her mouth slightly and laughed softly, "So, I'm not pretty on weekdays?"
Seeing this, Huo Jun waved his hands hurriedly and explained in a panic:
"No, no, no, what I mean is that you are even more charming today than usual, and the more I look at you, the happier I am.
Being able to marry you is the blessing I have cultivated for several lifetimes."
Zhao Qiaoniang snorted softly, her eyes smiling: "How come you've become so slick after getting married? I didn't notice it at all before."
Huo Jun scratched his head, a simple smile on his face: "My dear, we are getting married now! Of course, I have to please you more. In the days to come, I will make you happy every day."
