Huo Jingrui returned to his unit after completing the rescue mission and had three days off.
Having received news about Yunyi from Kang Zilin, he was relieved to know that she was well.
Ever since he came down from the mountain last time, he had had the same dream whenever he slept. The dream was exceptionally vivid upon waking, which confused him greatly. He didn’t know why, but he felt that the person in the dream was Chuyunyi.
After reporting his work to the team, he drove home to discuss something with his father.
As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Jingya pulled him into a room. "Son, did you see Pan Huixin at the military region?"
Huo Jingrui shook his head, "No, what’s up?"
Jiang Jingya whispered, "Listen to me. If you ever see Pan Huixin, stay as far away as possible, got it?
"I’m serious. If you don’t listen and get involved with her, you won’t be able to get rid of her. And I will never approve of any connection with the Pan Family. Remember that."
Huo Jingrui didn’t understand what act his mother was putting on. "Mom, what happened? You seem so uneasy."
Jiang Jingya found it too difficult to speak those words directly to her son. "Just remember what I’ve said."
Previously, she had only heard gossip. But that day, she had personally witnessed Fang Minqing getting overly familiar with a much younger man. Their movements were clearly inappropriate, and she did not want such in-laws in the future.
Seeing that his mother didn’t want to talk, Huo Jingrui didn’t insist. "Mom, today is Dad’s birthday. Are they all coming back tonight?"
Jiang Jingya’s face showed no emotion. "Yes."
Her heart ached with frustration when she thought about the whole family gathering that evening, and then about her two children, who were worryingly indifferent about marriage despite their ages.
Seeing that his mother was about to nag again, Huo Jingrui quickly made an excuse, "Mom, I have something to do. I’ll be back in a bit."
Jiang Jingya knew what her son was up to. "Son, your older brothers have all settled down and have families of their own. Can’t you be a little understanding of your mother’s feelings?"
Huo Jingrui sighed, "Mom, haven’t we agreed on next year? Next year, I will definitely bring a daughter-in-law home for you, okay?"
Jiang Jingya saw her son’s uncompromising expression and comforted herself, Never mind. At least he made a promise. I shouldn’t push him too hard.
