Apocalyptic Disaster: The King of Soldiers' Ultimate Pampering

268: Chapter 268 Something HappenedHe immediately used a coaxing tone, the kind used for a child, to comfort Ye Qingqing: ”I swear, I, Huo Sixian, will be good to Ye Qingqing for a lifetime, only good to Ye Qingqing. If I break my oath, let me die in a pile of zombies.”

Huo Sixian’s expression was extremely serious. In the past, Ye Qingqing would have definitely thought he was just being glib.

But today, for some reason, upon hearing Huo Sixian’s words, a trace of panic involuntarily rose in Ye Qingqing’s heart.

Her heart ached with a twisting, gripping pain.

She hurriedly interrupted Huo Sixian’s words.

”Pah, pah, pah!”

”What nonsense are you spouting!”

”If you really die, I will absolutely never forgive you. I will definitely take your daughter and find someone else to be her father!”

Hearing Ye Qingqing’s words spoken as if in a fit of pique, Huo Sixian’s expression immediately turned grave.

The hand Huo Sixian had circled around Ye Qingqing’s waist tightened its grip slightly.

”No, that day will never come.”

When Huo Sixian said this, his expression was utterly earnest, stirring a ripple of emotion in Ye Qingqing’s heart.

Gradually, it even touched a nerve within her.

Huo Sixian always felt that when Ye Qingqing said those words, there was a hint of an emotion he had never quite understood.

But what exactly it was, Huo Sixian couldn’t put into words.

However, at this moment, Huo Sixian knew that what Ye Qingqing needed now was his protection and care.

Ye Qingqing buried herself in Huo Sixian’s embrace and cried hard.

This time, it felt as if she was finally releasing all the pent-up depression that had been weighing on her chest in one go.

Originally, Ye Qingqing thought she would have a huge fight with Huo Sixian, but she never expected him to completely respect her choice.

Thinking of this, a warm feeling involuntarily welled up in Ye Qingqing’s heart.

Her arms around Huo Sixian unconsciously tightened slightly.

At this moment, Deng Jiayu had originally intended to call Huo Sixian for dinner.

But who knew that as soon as she went upstairs, she saw the scene of Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian embracing.

All the comforting words she had prepared now went unused.

However, upon seeing that nothing was wrong between Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing, Deng Jiayu also revealed a satisfied smile.

Meanwhile, Huo Cunsheng, thinking about his useless grandson, had originally wanted to come see how Huo Sixian was doing.

But as soon as he went upstairs, he was intercepted by Deng Jiayu.

The confused Huo Cunsheng didn’t understand what was happening for a moment.

He kept muttering questions.

”You old woman!”

”I’m here to find my grandson, why are you stopping me!”

Huo Cunsheng’s voice was very loud.

Upon hearing it, both Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian felt somewhat embarrassed, realizing their situation was now known to Deng Jiayu and the others.

Deng Jiayu looked at Huo Cunsheng, her anger immediately flaring.

”Fine, fine, fine. If you insist on going up, then go. I won’t stop you.”

Huo Cunsheng was still puzzled.

”What’s wrong with you today? I called you an old woman and you didn’t even react? Not normal, this is too abnormal!”

A sarcastic smile hung on Deng Jiayu’s lips. She gave Huo Cunsheng a cold snort and went straight downstairs.

Leaving the bewildered Huo Cunsheng behind, scratching his head.

He then immediately headed upstairs.

However, as soon as Huo Cunsheng reached the top, he saw Ye Qingqing’s reddened eyes and the tightly clasped hands of Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian, who hadn’t yet had time to let go.

Huo Cunsheng immediately understood Deng Jiayu’s meaning.

He also understood why Deng Jiayu hadn’t let him go upstairs.

At this moment, Huo Cunsheng’s old face flushed bright red with embarrassment.

But upon seeing Huo Sixian, he still managed to say somewhat awkwardly, ”Th-that, Grandma Deng is calling you for dinner.”

After saying this, Huo Cunsheng immediately left.

He didn’t dare linger, not even for a moment.

Seeing Huo Cunsheng’s fleeing back, Ye Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh and looked at Huo Sixian.

”Huo Sixian, how come Grandpa Huo’s personality is nothing like yours at all?”

Huo Sixian’s ears turned slightly red for an instant.

”This... this... this is hard to explain.”

Ye Qingqing then chuckled.

With Huo Cunsheng’s little episode.

It was as if the ice between Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian had completely melted.

Ye Qingqing smiled at Huo Sixian, ”Come on, let’s go down to eat. I’m getting a bit hungry.”

Huo Sixian nodded slowly, ”Okay.”

However, when Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian went downstairs, Ah Huang, who had been staying in a corner, looked utterly bewildered.

Ah Huang’s inner thoughts: Why? Yesterday was clearly not like this.

Ah Huang’s inner thoughts: Didn’t Ye Qingqing really dislike Huo Sixian yesterday? Why are they back together today?

Ah Huang, single for many years, didn’t understand the strange and complicated emotions between humans, but Ah Huang knew one thing.

That Huo Sixian was going to compete with him for Ye Qingqing’s attention again.

Ah Huang felt wronged. Ah Huang wanted to return to life on the recreational vehicle...

Ah Huang’s inner thoughts: Waaah...

When Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian arrived downstairs together, Deng Jiayu had already prepared a table full of dishes.

The sight made Huo Sixian’s stomach immediately rumble again.

The previously quiet dining area was now suddenly filled with an odd sound.

Deng Jiayu’s eyes held a hint of pity, and her tone was filled with affection as she looked at Huo Sixian.

”Look how hungry this child is.”

”Come, come, come. It’s all your favorite food. Eat more.”

As she spoke, Deng Jiayu frantically piled food into Huo Sixian’s bowl.

”Eat more. Look how thin you are.”

Huo Sixian had just sat down at the table, but the bowl in front of him was already becoming a small mountain thanks to Deng Jiayu.

”Grandma Deng, thank you, but that’s enough. I can’t eat that much.”

Although Huo Sixian said this, his hands never stopped moving, shoveling food into his mouth bite by bite.

At this moment, Huo Sixian had no other thoughts, only the bowl of rice in front of him.

Thinking this, Huo Sixian immediately finished about two-thirds of the rice on the table.

Watching this, Ye Qingqing couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

Finally, it was Huo Cunsheng who stepped in to smooth things over.

”This grandson of mine takes after me. When he was a teenager, he could even eat five bowls of rice in one go!”

As he spoke, Huo Cunsheng began reminiscing.

Images of a young Huo Sixian floated into his mind.

However, this pleasant morning was interrupted by a series of urgent knocks at the door.

*Bang, bang, bang!*

*Bang, bang, bang!*

The knocking outside the door was like a death knell, rapid and relentless.

”Boss!”

”Open the door, quick!”

”Something’s happened!”

Upon hearing the knocking, Huo Sixian immediately put down his bowl, stood up, and went to open the door.

At the doorway stood Kong Ziyi, his eyes flickering with panic, his voice trembling as he looked at Huo Sixian.

”B-boss... it’s bad...”
