Chapter 869 - 838: Teasing

Chapter 869: Chapter 838: Teasing

After studying for a little over an hour and checking the time, it was nearly five o’clock, and time to head home.

He Tiantian put the car in first gear and could now skillfully steer the wheel, make turns, and U-turns, among other things.

"Brother Yingjie, cars really are easy to learn," He Tiantian said with a smile. "Let’s stop here for today and come back to learn more tomorrow. It’s time to go home for dinner."

Moreover, many people not far away were looking in their direction, as if waiting for them to finish work.

"Alright, let’s go back," Huo Yingjie said. "Practice for a few more days, and you’ll be ready to hit the road."

He Tiantian nodded, "I think so too."

Afterward, Huo Yingjie went to tell the instructor, then got back into the car, driving away with He Tiantian in the passenger seat.

After getting home and having dinner, He Tiantian dragged Huo Yingjie to the yard to practice basic maneuvers like reversing and turning.

Since the car was in first gear, it moved slowly, and He Tiantian had good control and coordination.

"Alright, learning to drive is quite tiring, can we rest now?" Huo Yingjie said softly, yawning. It was already past nine o’clock.

He Tiantian nodded, "Okay, let me park the car back in its spot, and then we can rest."

Five minutes later, He Tiantian finally finished.

She turned off the ignition.

When He Tiantian turned her head, she saw Huo Yingjie’s face close to hers.

He Tiantian was about to get up and leave, but she forgot she was still buckled in by the seatbelt and sat back down.

"Let’s go inside; don’t do it here, it’s embarrassing," He Tiantian said softly, glancing toward Xie Wu, the little soldier nearby.

"Hehe," Huo Yingjie chuckled. "Sweet Treasure, you’re overthinking things again. I was just going to help you unbuckle."

Hmph!

Who would believe that!

Always teasing people!

With a click, He Tiantian unbuckled herself and glared angrily.

"Get up," He Tiantian pushed Huo Yingjie away forcefully. "All you do is tease me. I’ve decided not to let you touch me for the next three days."

"Haha!" Huo Yingjie laughed, assured that he was not so clueless as to be unable to change Tiantian’s mind.

He Tiantian quickly ran off, ignoring the rampant laughter from Huo Yingjie behind her.

Really now.

This man is truly wicked to the core!

She spoke with conviction, her voice forceful and pressing.

"Get close to whoever you want," He Tiantian retorted, still with her back to Huo Yingjie.

Afterward, well, she just went along with it!

Making fierce statements never succeeded even once!

It was quite the demoralizing story.

Practicing driving too much, especially when first learning to control one’s strength, can make the arms sore.

He Tiantian wanted to practice more today, but it seemed impossible now; she must rest for a couple of days.

During breakfast, Huo Yingjie saw He Tiantian rubbing her arm and said, "I warned you yesterday, but you didn’t listen. Now you reap what you sow."

"Hmph!" He Tiantian ignored him, still angry.

Though it was just a facade, she had to show it.

"Oh, Dad made Mom angry."

"Dad is naughty..."

Huo Ruixiang looked up at his uncle and said, "Uncle, don’t make Auntie angry. If Auntie gets mad, she might run away..."

Huo Yingjie was surprised; what happened to his being the most loved dad and uncle?

Why did they defect at the critical moment?

Such a group of little traitors without backbone.

Seeing her children and nephew defending her, He Tiantian said proudly with a smile, "We’ll make something delicious for lunch and not share it with those who don’t behave."

"Mm-hmm, Baby behaves."

"Ruixiang is well-behaved."

Huo Yingjie suddenly felt his mood sour!

Offend your wife, and you offend the whole world.

Huo Yingjie went to work, repeatedly looking back at his wife playing with the children.

Ah, reconcile at the end of the bed after a quarrel by the head.

But not now, it seems.

Looks like he needs to level up his methods!

There seem to be some nice lilies at work. He could pick a handful and bring them home in the evening.

Xie Wu and Zhang Ning saw Huo Yingjie’s thwarted expression, wanting to laugh but not daring to, holding it in.

Their boss now had the awkward manner of a young person. Before, following Huo Yingjie, they felt he was not like a young man but a middle-aged one.

After Huo Yingjie left, Grandma Wang chuckled, "Yingjie has always been like a little adult since he was a child, but now he’s become more like a kid again."

Hearing this, He Tiantian blushed slightly and said, "Grandma Wang, we’re just fooling around, sorry to amuse you."

"You are young spouses and childhood sweethearts; it hasn’t been easy for you two to come together after so many difficulties—I know all this," Grandma Wang said with a smile. "Besides, good relations between husband and wife make for a good life and well-raised children."

"Yes, what Grandma Wang says is true," He Tiantian smiled in agreement.

Grandma Wang’s eyes twinkled as she said, "It’s great to be young!"

"Hehe, Grandma Wang, you’re not old either," He Tiantian laughed. "When the weather cools down and I’ve learned to drive, I’ll take you around to see the sights frequently."

"Good!" Grandma Wang was delighted, wanting to take the chance to see more of the world while she could. Otherwise, she might not have the strength later on.

By noon, the water in the swimming pool had become quite warm, and He Tiantian took the kids for a swim.

Huo Ruixiang was overjoyed, donning his swimming ring and starting to swim.

In just a short two days, Huo Ruixiang had already learned to swim.
