"Dad, are you looking for me?"

In the evening, Huo Ci was called to Huo Qingrong's office after the training.

He felt a little strange when he was summoned by Huo Qingrong. Because of their identities, everyone in the army knew that they were father and son. In order to avoid gossip, Huo Qingrong rarely met him alone in the army.

I only look for him when there is something important.

"Is there something urgent?"

"Not really, I just wanted to ask...it's been a while since you came back, how's your training recently?" Huo Qingrong asked.

Huo Ci glanced at the office and saw no one else there. Logically speaking, the troops shouldn't have any tasks assigned to them, but it was strange that Huo Qingrong suddenly became concerned about his training.

"Same as before." Huo Ci replied.

"Then..." Huo Qingrong glanced at him, and there seemed to be some emotions changing in his eyes.

"What do you think of that girl named Jiang Yushan?" He nodded, and suddenly changed the topic to Jiang Yushan.

Huo Ci: “…”

He was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Huo Qingrong to ask about Jiang Yushan. He could also feel that the other party clearly had something else in his words, but he didn't know what it meant.

"Didn't you let her live in your house? And you always go to give her gifts. If you really want her, just go after her. I think that girl is a good person, with upright ideas and pretty looks. If you leave it too late, she will be gone by someone else!" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Huo Qingrong went straight to the point.

During this period, he had heard about Huo Ci running to the staff quarters as soon as he was trained, and even Lin Jianjun came to talk to him about it.

However, since Huo Ci took the initiative to give the house to Jiang Yushan to live in, he probably understood his son's thoughts and also had a brief understanding of Jiang Yushan.

He had a pretty good impression of Jiang Yushan, and it was rare for Huo Ci to have someone he cared about, and since they were both unmarried, Huo Qingrong certainly had no objection.

It's just...

I can't stand his dithering and lack of initiative anymore!

"Although you were helping her in the beginning, you've been letting her live in your place without any legitimate reason. Even if she doesn't go there often, it has a bad influence on her. There are already some bad rumors about the family compound now, so you'd better pay more attention to it." Huo Qingrong reminded again.

It's obvious that his stupid son is interested in her, so what is he waiting for?

Hu Xiaowen had already informed Lin Jianjun about the incident at the family compound, and Lin Jianjun came over to inform him of the situation as soon as possible. After all, this matter also involved Huo Ci.

But Huo Qingrong only talked about Jiang Yushan's reputation now, and didn't think the rumors had much impact on Huo Ci.

"What rumor?" Huo Ci frowned and asked immediately after hearing the rumor.

He hasn't gone to the family compound for dinner in the past two days because he heard the soldiers in the army talking about him and Jiang Yushan last time, so he deliberately avoided suspicion because he didn't want to affect Jiang Yushan's reputation.

After all, they are not in that kind of relationship yet.

"Anyway, they're not nice words... If you're really interested in her, go after her. If it works out, the rumor will be dispelled. If it doesn't, explain it clearly and find a good place for the girl to stay. Don't ruin her reputation."

Huo Qingrong specially called Huo Ci over this time just to discuss this matter.

The rumors were not nice, and Lin Jianjun didn't say much. Huo Qingrong only knew about the rumor of "picking up broken shoes", and he didn't know much else.

But even so, Huo Ci could already feel the seriousness of the problem.

"Got it. I'll take care of it." Huo Ci nodded and began to think about what Huo Qingrong had just said.

Judging from his reaction just now, Huo Qingrong did not dislike Jiang Yushan just because she was someone else's fiancée.

This made Huo Ci feel a little more relaxed.

……

Huo Ci thought about it all night, and after the training the next day, he immediately rushed to the staff quarters.

Jiang Yushan was still wondering whether Huo Ci would come over for dinner tonight, so she cooked dinner as usual. When she saw Huo Ci, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as she finally saw someone.

I thought Huo Ci was not going to care about her anymore.

"Comrade Jiang, I have something to tell you." Huo Ci said.

"That's great. I have something to tell you too." Jiang Yushan smiled when she heard that. They had a pretty good understanding of each other. She was thinking about whether she should go to the army to find him if she couldn't see Huo Ci again.

"You speak first?" Upon hearing this, Huo Ci was still very gentlemanly and let her speak first.

"Then I'll tell you..." Jiang Yushan cleared his throat and asked seriously, "Huo Ci, are you willing to marry me?"

She had a good impression of Huo Ci. After hearing the discussions about her in the family compound, she had thought carefully about this issue and did not act on impulse.

Huo Ci: “???”

Wait…he was proposed to?

In fact, he came here today well prepared. He planned to ask Jiang Yushan if she had this intention. If so, then they would start by dating.

But no one expected that Jiang Yushan would go straight to the point and propose to her directly.

"Are you... because of the recent rumors in the family compound?" Huo Ci was silent for a while, then he realized what the reason might be and asked.

In his opinion, Jiang Yushan might have heard those rumors and wanted to use this method to quell the rumors, just like he wanted to propose a date.

It's just that he really likes Jiang Yushan and wants to date her, but if it weren't for these rumors, he wouldn't be so direct.

"Half of it is because of those rumors. I am fine, but you clearly did nothing. Why do they say that about you?" Jiang Yushan nodded and told the truth: "You are so good, you should not be slandered."

"But the other half... is also my own choice! I don't know what you think, but if you are willing to marry me, we will live a good life in the future." Jiang Yushan looked at Huo Ci sincerely.

She thought Huo Ci was a very nice person and she had a good impression of him.

Moreover, since Huo Ci has helped her so many times, he should have some feelings for her. Marriage is the best way to quell the rumors.

Jiang Yushan's words "I volunteered" directly touched Huo Ci's heart, and his mind was full of the little girl's words.

The corners of Huo Ci's lips rose uncontrollably. The little girl had him in her heart...

"Okay, I'll go and file the marriage report now!" Huo Ci was excited and turned around to leave to file the marriage report.

Seeing his anxious look, Jiang Yushan was also amused.

This seemed to be the first time that the usually aloof Huo Ci was seen to have such a drastic mood swing.

"Hey, there's no need to rush. The meal is ready. You can at least eat before leaving." Jiang Yushan stopped him.

There was a sumptuous meal on the table. Huo Ci knew at a glance that it had been prepared in anticipation of his coming over, and they were all meat dishes, which made him feel warm in his heart, as if he really had a home.
