Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.

"I'm fine, don't worry," Huo Yanchuan said with a smile.

His health has recovered quite well now. The doctor said he can get out of bed and move around, and he can be discharged from the hospital in a few days.

But Wenrou was still worried and insisted that he go back to bed and rest more.

"What happened just now..." Huo Yanchuan sat on the bed and looked at Wenrou.

"I don't know when Zhou Dayong arrived. I haven't seen him in the few days I've been at the hospital." Wenrou also found it strange. If she hadn't bumped into him this time, she wouldn't have known that Zhou Dayong was still haunting her.

"He bought those earrings with the money he earned from carrying bricks. Gao Weidong said he's been at a brick factory nearby these days." Huo Yanchuan told Wenrou about this as well.

"Moving bricks?" She chuckled gently, a hint of mockery in her voice.

It is indeed ironic that although Zhou Dayong was not as capable as Huo Yanchuan in the army, he had at least risen to the position of battalion commander through his own abilities.

Besides, Zhou Dayong was able to rise through the ranks thanks to Shen Qingshuang's help in his previous life.

But if he doesn't have any real talent or ability, even if someone promotes him, he won't get promoted so quickly.

He could have had a bright future, but now he's reaping what he sowed and has ended up in this state.

At this moment, Wenrou felt no sympathy, resentment, or other emotions. To her, Zhou Dayong was like a stranger.

"What's the deal with that earring?" Huo Yanchuan asked curiously, thinking about the earring Zhou Dayong had taken out earlier.

He had never asked Wenrou about her past. It wasn't that he didn't care about his wife; it was just that he subconsciously didn't want to know about her past with Zhou Dayong.

He worried that if he heard about it, he wouldn't be able to resist finding Zhou Dayong and beating him up again.

"Earrings? If he hadn't mentioned them today, I would have forgotten about them. It's nothing, it's just that I've seen other people wearing earrings before and I wanted some too."

Although Wenrou spoke of the matter with a calm expression, Huo Yanchuan couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

He knew that Wenrou didn't lack these things now, but he still didn't want to lose to Zhou Dayong.

Although he couldn't participate in Wenrou's past, he wanted to make it up to her.

What Zhou Dayong can't give, he can give.

"It's your birthday in a few days, what do you want?" Huo Yanchuan didn't bring up Zhou Dayong again, and looked at Wenrou to ask.

Wenrou didn't reply to him, but turned to look at him and said, "You don't need to compare yourself to Zhou Dayong. The earring incident happened a long time ago. Just think of it as something from a past life. Now, all I care about is you and the children."

Although Huo Yanchuan didn't say it outright, Wenrou could still tell that this man really liked to compete.

Even in Zhou Dayong's current state, is it really worth him being jealous?

"That's different. Although I wasn't involved in your past, I want to make up for everything you've wanted, both in the past and now, one by one."

Huo Yanchuan looked gentle, but his expression was serious.

Wenrou knew that if she didn't let him buy it, he would definitely start overthinking things.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Then buy me gold earrings. I don't want silver jewelry anymore. Gold is so nice, it looks so good when I wear it out."

Huo Yanchuan rarely saw Wenrou take the initiative to ask for anything, so he was very happy to hear her say that.

"Okay, earrings, necklaces, and rings, we'll buy whatever you like, money's no object," Huo Yanchuan said generously.

Seeing him like this, Wenrou couldn't help but laugh. "Look at you, so silly. Even if you're not short of money, you can't spend it like this. Raising a child costs a lot of money."

"I can afford to raise you and the child."

Huo Yanchuan was telling the truth. Even if Wenrou didn't work, his assets would be more than enough to support her and their child.

Wenrou knew, of course, that Huo Yanchuan was a hidden tycoon in Beijing's social circle.

No matter how much money she earns, it probably won't be as valuable as the house he owns.

Every time Wenrou thought about this, she felt like she had gotten a great deal, as all of Huo Yanchuan's land deeds were in her hands.

After Zhou Dayong's incident, Wenrou never saw him and Shen Qingshuang again.

However, since Yin Suwen is Shen Qingshuang's cousin, the two inevitably run into each other when she comes to the hospital to see Huo Yanchuan.

Wenrou could clearly sense Yin Suwen's hostility towards her, and she felt strange about it.

Although I do not get along with Shen Qingshuang, it shouldn't be enough to make her so hostile towards me.

She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that the way the other woman looked at her was like that of a love rival.

She even observed Yin Suwen's attitude towards Huo Yanchuan. After Huo Yanchuan was injured and hospitalized, Yin Suwen never came to visit him. Clearly, the person she liked was not Huo Yanchuan.

That's what made him even more puzzled. If she didn't like Huo Yanchuan, why would she be so hostile towards him?

Wenrou couldn't figure it out, so she gave up for the time being.

Wenrou arrived at the hospital a little earlier than usual today. Just as she reached the ward door, she ran into Xiao Xun, who had just finished examining Huo Yanchuan.

She looked at him gently and asked, "How is his health?"

"He's recovering very well. He's always been in good physical condition and can withstand more strain than most people. He'll be able to be discharged in a couple of days."

Hearing Xiao Xun say this, Wenrou felt relieved and thanked him.

Xiao Xun looked at her and waved his hand, "If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be me thanking you."

Wenrou looked puzzled upon hearing this, "Why are you thanking me?"

Xiao Xun looked at Wenrou and said, "Thank you for adopting Jiang Yan."

Hearing his words, Wenrou was even more confused. Could it be that Jiang Yan had some kind of relationship with him?

Before Xiao Xun could say anything, Huo Yanchuan explained for him, "Xiao Yan's mother, Xiao Lan, is Xiao Xun's older sister, so he is Xiao Yan's uncle."

Huo Yanchuan's words shocked Wenrou; it was too much of a coincidence.

"My sister married Jiang Yan's father, Jiang Jun, against the family's wishes, and as a result, she severed ties with the family. My mother passed away after a serious illness, and my father is now suffering from a stroke. Because of my work, I am unable to adopt Jiang Yan, so I am very grateful that you can take care of him for me."

After seeing the news about Jiang Yan's parents, Xiao Xun also inquired about Jiang Yan's whereabouts.

He was finally relieved to learn that Huo Yanchuan and Wenrou had adopted him.

He knew Huo Yanchuan's personality; he would never take the initiative to adopt a child, so it could only be because of his gentleness.

Xiao Xun also secretly went to see Jiang Yan and was relieved to see that he was doing well.

He's a grown man, and he can't take care of the child, so he has to leave it to Wenrou.

"I've been a terrible uncle, so thank you very much," Xiao Xun said to Wenrou again.

Wenrou never expected the Xiao family to experience so many changes, and she never imagined that Jiang Yan would be related to the Xiao family.

She looked at Huo Yanchuan, "So you already knew about Jiang Yan's relationship with the Xiao family?"

Huo Yanchuan nodded and explained to her, "I didn't mean to hide it from you. You wanted to adopt Jiang Yan so badly back then. If people knew about his relationship with the Xiao family, you probably wouldn't be able to adopt him. That's why I didn't tell you."

Wenrou knew that Huo Yanchuan was doing all this for her sake, but she felt indignant when she thought of Jiang Yan's fate in her previous life.

Since Xiao Xun knew of Jiang Yan's existence, why didn't he go find him and bring him home? Otherwise, Jiang Yan wouldn't have become a criminal.

"Then why are you saying this now? Do you want to take Xiao Yan back?" Wenrou looked at Xiao Xun, her face turning slightly cold, and her tone was wary.

His eyes seemed to say that if Xiao Xun dared to nod, he would definitely not let him get away with it.

Xiao Xun also learned from others how powerful Wenrou was. He glanced in Huo Yanchuan's direction and knew without a doubt that Huo Yanchuan was on his wife's side.

Xiao Xun knew he couldn't possibly defeat the couple on his own, so he backed down a bit, saying, "That's not what I meant."

As he spoke, he looked at Huo Yanchuan and said, "You know my father's situation. His lifelong wish has been to find Xiao Lan. I haven't dared to let him know about my sister's situation. If he knew that she was no longer alive, he would definitely be very sad."

Xiao Xun was at his wit's end. His father's condition was getting worse and worse, and he probably wouldn't live much longer.

He didn't want his father to leave with regrets. If he could see Jiang Yan, perhaps his mood would improve, and maybe his condition would get better, allowing him to live a little longer.

"So you want Jiang Yan to meet your father?" Huo Yanchuan immediately understood Xiao Xun's thoughts.

Xiao Xun nodded, then looked at Wenrou with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

He had met Jiang Yan, who looked a lot like his sister. His father's mood would definitely improve after seeing him.

Seeing Xiao Xun like this, Wenrou finally compromised and said, "I can talk to Xiao Yan. As for whether he wants to see him or not, I will respect his opinion."

"Thank you." Xiao Xun said excitedly.

Huo Yanchuan knew his wife was soft-hearted and that she would definitely agree.

Wenrou looked at Huo Yanchuan and heard him say, "I'm fine here, you go find Xiaoyan first."

He was able to take care of himself now, and responded gently before walking out of the hospital with Xiao Xun one after the other.

The two had just come out when they ran into Yin Suwen.

"Xiao Xun." Yin Suwen called out when she saw Xiao Xun and Wenrou walking together.

Xiao Xun was in a hurry to see Jiang Yan with Wenrou and didn't have time to pay attention to Yin Suwen.

"I have something to do at home, I'll talk to you later."

When Yin Suwen saw that Xiao Xun's attitude towards Wenrou was even better than before, her expression changed slightly, and she frowned.

She never expected that not only did that person like gentleness, but now even Xiao Xun's attitude towards her had changed.

Even someone as proud as Huo Yanchuan was willing to do it for him.

During this time, she had observed Wenrou quite a bit, but found nothing worthwhile about her.

Why is that?

Wenrou only glanced at Yin Suwen briefly before looking away, and then walked out of the hospital with Xiao Xun.

But that one glance from her felt like a provocation to Yin Suwen, who already disliked her.

She was furious, her eyes fixed on Wenrou's back, filled with jealousy.

Qing Shuang is right, this woman is indeed very good at seducing men.

Wenrou led Xiao Xun to Bayi Middle School, where Jiang Yan was currently studying. Jiang Yan had not yet finished class, so they waited at the entrance.

Bayi Middle School is not far from the military compound, and boarding school has been implemented since the middle school.

Since it was a school for children of military personnel, the entire school was under military-style management.

Wenrou can only see Jiang Yan once a week now, and because of Huo Yanchuan's matter, she hasn't had a proper time with Jiang Yan for a long time.

The two waited at the door for a while, and then heard the bell ring for the end of get out of class. They then saw Jiang Yan walk out with his schoolbag on his back.

"Aunt Xiaorou." Jiang Yan called out to Wenrou when he saw her.

Wenrou waved her arm at Jiang Yan, "Xiao Yan."

Jiang Yan walked to Wenrou's side and was immediately hugged by her.

"How are you? Are you exhausted?"

Wenrou looked at Jiang Yan and saw that he was even thinner than before, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

This school is too strict. In addition to the main courses, they also have to train in other things every day.

If she had known it would be this hard, she would have sent Jiang Yan to a regular school.

Jiang Yan shook his head. "Not tired."

He actually likes things this way; although he has a lot to do every day, he feels very grounded.

Today is Friday. After all the students finished their last class, they went home for the holiday.

Jiang Yan had overheard Wen Shuzhen and the old man talking about Huo Yanchuan's condition when he returned home these past few days, so he also knew about Huo Yanchuan's hospitalization.

"Is Uncle Huo alright?" Jiang Yan asked with concern.

She nodded gently. "Yes, he's fine. He'll be discharged in a few days."

She knew that nothing could be hidden from Jiang Yan, so she didn't deliberately try to conceal anything from him.

She told Jiang Yan directly about Xiao Xun's matter and let him make the decision himself.

At this moment, Jiang Yan also saw Xiao Xun standing to the side. Knowing that he was a gentle friend, he nodded politely to him.

"Let's go eat first."

After speaking gently, she took Jiang Yan's hand and walked towards the state-run restaurant.

"Aren't we going home?" Jiang Yan asked Wenrou, puzzled.

This is when the two younger sisters are most clingy; if they don't come home, the sisters will cry.

Wenrou glanced at Xiao Xun, then said to Jiang Yan, "Let's not go home yet, let's go out for a nice meal today."

Since seeing Jiang Yan, Xiao Xun couldn't help but show a look of affection on his face.

Jiang Yan didn't know what Wenrou was planning, but he guessed it was related to this man.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the state-run restaurant, Wenrou led Jiang Yan inside, with Xiao Xun following behind them.

Xiao Xun booked a private room, and after Jiang Yan and Wenrou sat down, he handed them the menu, saying, "Take a look at what you'd like to eat. It's on me today."

Wenrou handed the menu to Jiang Yan, saying, "No need."

She ordered several dishes that Jiang Yan liked, as well as some of the restaurant's signature dishes.

During the meal, Xiao Xun kept putting food on Jiang Yan's plate, and Jiang Yan realized it at that moment.

He looked at Wenrou and asked, "Who is this uncle?"

She looked at him gently and introduced him: "This is your mother's younger brother, your uncle, Xiao Xun."
