Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 585 - Chapter 585 Chapter 585 Explaining the Reason_1

Chapter 585: Chapter 585: Explaining the Reason_1 Chapter 585: Chapter 585: Explaining the Reason_1 Nan Fei chuckled, “Do you think I’m really fond of you at this moment?” She was not even done being mad.

Huo Beijiang nodded earnestly, “Before I said anything, I was really sure you liked me a lot.”

Nan Fei: “…”

She didn’t know whether to praise his confidence or chastise his shamelessness.

She let out a slight sigh. When on earth had she given Huo Beijiang an impression of such unsureness and lack of security? If she liked him, how could she not? Once a heart was given, it could never be taken back.

Huo Beijiang noticed the slight change in her eyes and finally made up his mind.

“Wife, I’m telling you now.”

“Hmm!”

The two of them faced each other, with a bowl of cold millet congee and beef in the middle. The atmosphere was unprecedentedly serious.

Nan Fei guessed that whatever he had to say must be significant, so she put down her spoon, crossed her hands in front of her, and quietly waited for Huo Beijiang to speak.

“Let’s start from the past six months!” Huo Beijiang instinctively reached out to grab a cigarette, but there was none. Thinking that he shouldn’t smoke in his wife’s room, he resisted the urge.

“That day after I hung up the phone with you, my grandpa in the Imperial City suddenly sent someone to pick me up. It was because my grandpa was seriously ill, and they wanted me to see him one last time.”

Huo Beijiang’s eyes were deep as he looked at her, “My grandpa is a retired commander of the Northern Military District. My eldest uncle is a general, my second uncle is a major general. My aunt married a businessman, and my cousin is a junior air force general…”

As he spoke indifferently, Nan Fei’s body began to shudder uncontrollably. Finally, she weakly raised her hand, “You… stop talking. Let me calm down!”

It was too astounding, too incredible for her!

Not because his family background was powerful, but because she had lived with him for ten years in her past life, yet she had never known about Huo Beijiang’s status. In her perspective, Huo Beijiang was just a powerless soldier from the countryside.

Ten years! A whole ten years.

Looking back now, she knew too little about him! But could she really blame him? As Nan Fei carefully recalled, many ignored past scenes surfaced in her mind. For instance, Huo Kewei, who was obviously a rich second generation.

The two shared the same surname, and he even called Huo Beijiang Uncle. How could they possibly not be related?

Huo Beijiang didn’t hide any of these.

In her last life, even though she was married to Huo Beijiang, she never really entered his world or understood everything about him. Even when Huo Beijiang tried to share things with her a few times, she impatiently cut him off.

Huo Beijiang opened his mouth, his gaze deepening.

Only after a long while, was Nan Fei able to suppress her rolling emotions, “Keep talking! What does all this have to do with your disappearance for half a year?”

“Because my grandpa passed away! My…my elder brother…”

When he said the words “big brother,” there was unbearable pain in Huo Beijiang’s voice.

“My older brother also died! My cousin, who was just over forty, was the youngest air force major general who had accomplished great military exploits. He was also the backbone of the Huo family. The death of my grandpa and elder brother nearly caused the Huo family to collapse overnight, and also made it impossible for me to break away from the Huo family for the rest of my life.”

Originally, his and his father’s freedom was the result of his grandmother’s desperate struggle, but it ultimately betrayed her arrangements.

Suddenly, Huo Beijiang tightly grasped Nan Fei’s hand and said seriously, “Do you know? I could have lived my whole life as a carefree soldier, living life as I pleased with you.”

Nan Fei felt a piercing pain in her heart, because he had done everything he said in his last life!
