Chapter 1375 - 788: The Most Devilish Jiang Fifth Master, the Most Ambitious Master Huo (Part 3)

Old Shen kept laughing and said, "The child’s name should be given by his parents or grandparents; you all go ahead."

And Huo Zheng was also very polite: "There’s no should or shouldn’t in naming; you both give the child a good name."

Both sides were very polite and would seek Shen Shuci’s opinion, but she couldn’t make up her mind, which led to the child’s name being undecided for a long time.

However, both sides tacitly ignored a certain father.

During the time Huo Qinqi was home, besides accompanying his wife, he was taking care of the child, honestly, it was much more exhausting than leading troops in battle.

He couldn’t scold or hit, and if his tone was slightly harsh, the child might not understand the words but could discern things by the tone, often pouting and crying in response.

Because of this, he frequently faced disdain from the family.

Huo Zheng, who previously didn’t have the chance to care for Huo Qinqi, compensated all his guilt onto his grandson, treating him like a little ancestor in the Huo Family.

So much so that Huo Qinqi worried that after he left, if they took care of the child, they might spoil him.

...

"Little uncle-in-law has left, who knows when he’ll be back." Tang Wan was feeling quite sentimental on the way back.

"When I first met him, I could hardly imagine what he would be like married and coaxing a child."

"But his life at home isn’t easy; he has no status, and even when it comes to naming the child, it seems no one consults his opinion."

When Huo Qinqi returned to the base, he didn’t notify anyone, just called Tang Wan before leaving, hoping she’d visit the Huo Family more often to accompany Shen Shuci.

He always seemed to be that way, never showing his care on the surface.

Though he didn’t say much, he always expressed it in actions.

The day after Huo Qinqi left, Tang Wan arrived at the Huo Family’s home. Just before she entered, she heard Huo Zheng’s angry voice from inside.

"Damn brat, are you trying to anger me to death? You think just because you ran off to the Northwest, I wouldn’t catch you?"

"You little rascal, always so silent, can’t utter half a word, yet you handle such a big matter in private?"

"If you have the guts, don’t come back, if you dare..."

Huo Zheng spoke with a strong tone, typical as when he’s scolding people at the base, carrying a penetrating, oppressive feel.

It wasn’t until he heard Tang Wan had arrived that he barely suppressed his anger.

Tang Wan, upon hearing this, knew it was because of Huo Qinqi, but he was already back at the Northwest base, so how did he provoke him?

Tang Wan was also a bit afraid of Huo Zheng and didn’t dare to inquire further, so she went to Shen Shuci’s room and quietly asked:

"What’s happened? Why is the atmosphere so strange at home? Did I come at a bad time?"

"It’s still about the child’s name; he... secretly registered the child’s household registration."

Tang Wan frowned, "Who chose the name?"

"He did himself."

"..." Tang Wan was stunned, "He didn’t discuss it with the family? When did he register the household?"

"Before he left, he mentioned it to me, but I didn’t take it seriously, thinking he was just speaking casually."

"No wonder."

"And just now when mom and dad called him, he said, since both sides were too polite, if no one wants to give the child a name, then he’ll do it himself, and even said it was for the family’s harmony."

For the family’s harmony?

Only Huo Qinqi could say such things.

He set his son’s name, registered the household, then...

Ran away?

"What’s the child’s name?" Tang Wan was curious what name Huo Qinqi would give the child.

Shen Shuci took the household registration book from the drawer and handed it to her. Tang Wan turned to the last page and read softly:

"Huo Tinglan..."
