Chapter 587: Chapter 556 Warning, Invitation_1

When Jiang Lifang heard He Tiantian say that, she turned her head to look and saw Wang Bing and Feng Qiaoqiao looking in their direction.

"Don’t mind them," Jiang Lifang said, "Yingjie, now that you are married, I must warn you in front of Tiantian. Even if those messy women outside look at you, you must not look back, understand?"

Upon hearing his mother’s words, three black lines appeared on Huo Yingjie’s forehead.

However, under the watchful eyes of his mother and He Tiantian, Huo Yingjie hurriedly stated, "Mom, I understand. I like Tiantian, and I will always be good to her. If other women approach, I’ll run far away."

"Heh, as long as you understand," Jiang Lifang nodded. Having a handsome son was also troublesome.

Now that he was married, she didn’t have to worry anymore; let her daughter-in-law deal with it.

However, Jiang Lifang could also see that her son cherished He Tiantian, so there was no need for her to worry.

After finishing the meal, He Tiantian carried the insulated container, and the young couple followed Jiang Lifang to her office.

"Mom, you should take a nap," He Tiantian said, "We won’t disturb you. What would you like to eat tonight? I’ll cook it for you."

Jiang Lifang was all smiles and said, "Whatever you cook, I’ll like it. I’m not picky at all."

"Okay then, I’ll sort it out," He Tiantian said with a smile, taking Huo Yingjie with her as they left.

Once they had left the hospital, Huo Yingjie pushed his bicycle while He Tiantian walked alongside him, chatting and laughing all the way home.

Back at home, Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian started preparing the documents they needed for their registration the next morning, ensuring everything was in order.

Seeing that Huo Yingjie was insistently pulling He Tiantian toward the bedroom, He Tiantian struggled fiercely, saying, "It’s broad daylight; don’t be like this. Let’s play chess for a while, and then we’ll need to start preparing dinner."

Huo Yingjie felt somewhat defeated when he saw that He Tiantian was unwilling.

Some things, before being done, can be ignored, one can be patient.

But once done, they become instinctive and hard to resist.

Such delight, intoxicating and addicting!

In the face of He Tiantian’s strong opposition, they had to give up.

He Tiantian took out the Go board from the house; although her Go skills weren’t high, she could play decently.

"Are you done yet?" Huo Yingjie urged, having already waited several minutes. Her pace was much too slow.

Being slow was one thing, but why go back on a move?

Completely lacking a noble spirit!

"Let me think for a bit longer; wait," He Tiantian furrowed her brows, concentrating hard before finally placing a stone.

Huo Yingjie casually blocked He Tiantian’s move.

"Hey, hey, I wanted to place it here, not there," He Tiantian picked up the stone and also removed Huo Yingjie’s black stone from the board, handing it back to him.

"Alright then..." Huo Yingjie responded with a mix of laughter and tears.

After several such exchanges, Huo Yingjie decided he would never play chess again.

Seeing Huo Yingjie frown, He Tiantian felt secretly gleeful inside, thinking of his idle mischief during the day.

Disobedient? Play chess with him.

Drive him crazy, why don’t you?

Indeed, after about half an hour, Huo Yingjie lost patience and said, "Tiantian, actually, I think the sunlight is just right now. It would be more appropriate for us to read books at this moment, don’t you think?"

He Tiantian thought about it and said, "Actually, playing chess is quite fun."

"Let’s still read books. They say books are the spiritual food of mankind; we need to read now," Huo Yingjie said earnestly, although, in truth, he just didn’t want to play chess anymore.

He Tiantian was the kind of person who knew when to stop, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I’ll go get the books."

He Tiantian came out with a book in her hand and said, "Take a good look, we can check each other’s recitation."

Huo Yingjie’s nose twitched. Alright, it seemed difficult to read any other book for now.

So, the two of them began reciting the Red Treasure Book, becoming upright and proper revolutionary reservists.

Finally, when it was past four o’clock, He Tiantian started boiling water and cooking, giving the "tormented" Huo Yingjie a break.

In the evening, Jiang Lifang came back beaming with joy; she was in a great mood.

The entire hospital now knew about her handsome, debonair son and her filial and beautiful daughter-in-law.

During dinner, Jiang Lifang shared with everyone the compliments she had received at the hospital that day.

Early the next morning, He Tiantian had set an alarm and finally got up at 6:30.

She prepared breakfast: rice porridge, two side dishes, and a few scallion pancakes.

After breakfast, Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang went to work while He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie, with all sorts of documents in hand, went to register their marriage.

Today was clearly an auspicious day; by the time He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie arrived, several couples were already queuing ahead of them.

Due to Huo Yingjie’s job, he had to provide a lot of documents; He Tiantian’s weren’t as many as his, but still more than an average person.

It took the staff half an hour to review all the documents.

When getting married, facing the staff’s inquiries, the two had previously memorized responses from the Red Treasure Book samples.

By the time they received their marriage certificate, it had been one and a half hours.

Back home, He Tiantian stewed soup and baked some flaky pastries, which Huo Yingjie delivered to his mother.

Since time was tight, Huo Yingjie rode a bicycle by himself as it was faster.

When Huo Yingjie arrived at the hospital again, almost everyone knew he was Director Jiang’s son.

Being watched made him uncomfortable.

Huo Yingjie handed the food to his mother and left, telling her to bring the lunchbox back home in the evening.

By the time he got home, He Tiantian had finished all the pastries and was waiting for Huo Yingjie!

Thinking about the guests they were going to have, He Tiantian started drafting the menu two or three days in advance. Many fresh ingredients had to be bought early from the supply and marketing cooperatives.

In the evening, when Huo Yingjie wanted to get frisky, He Tiantian firmly rejected him. But Huo Yingjie was not one to miss out on his desires, insisting on a treat even if he couldn’t get the main course.

After some affectionate time, he did not proceed for a second round amidst He Tiantian’s gentle pleading.

Although not fully satisfied, he was at least a little sated.

The alarm went off at 3 a.m., and He Tiantian got up.

"It’s so cold outside, why are you getting up so early?" Huo Yingjie murmured, holding onto He Tiantian’s waist tightly and resting his head on her soft belly.

"Didn’t we agree last night that we were going to buy groceries?" He Tiantian said, "We have guests tomorrow, we need to buy all the necessary things today."

"This early?" Huo Yingjie was speechless.

"It’s not early. If we don’t go now, we won’t get anything good. My in-laws have to work, so we can’t ask them to queue up this early in the morning. It’s up to us young people. Hurry up, hurry up..." He Tiantian urged.

Huo Yingjie had to get up. He couldn’t just let his wife queue up alone to buy groceries.

It was very cold in the morning. He Tiantian wore a down jacket inside and added a thick coat outside, with thick down pants on the bottom and another pair of thick trousers over them.

Bulky and robust, but warm.

Seeing He Tiantian dressed up like a ball, Huo Yingjie laughed, still dressed as usual.

"No, that’s too little. Wear this," He Tiantian said, pulling out a thick military coat and cotton-padded shoes from the wardrobe.

Both fully equipped, with pockets and baskets, they headed to the supply and marketing cooperative.
