Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Neither of them are the type to enjoy being overly affectionate, so after a few more words, they headed downstairs.

Cheng Yue was slightly shocked when she saw Lord Captain being able to walk on his own; her eyes showed a hint of awe and she now looked at Xu Xingguang with reverence.

Lord Captain had been staying in Cangshan Town these days, accompanied only by Doctor Ye and Miss Xu. The fact that Lord Captain could stand up was largely thanks to these two.

Doctor Ye had been by Lord Captain’s side for so many years yet never saw him heal; he was not the hero in this situation.

So the hero could only be the young but discreet Miss Xu, whom Doctor Ye respectfully calls master.

Just the thought of Lord Captain having found a super impressive medical expert as a wife made Cheng Yue feel quite excited!

Their Lord Captain ought to have a capable Lady Captain.

None of the Miss Su, Miss Jiang, or Miss Murong could gain more recognition from them than Miss Xu. Even though they all graduated from world-class universities and own assets bestowed by their family fortunes.

What do they own away from their families?

With Captain surrounded by such a competitive environment, finding an equal partner is much more suitable than finding a lady who can only rely on family power to enjoy a glamorous life.

”Lord Captain, Miss Xu.” Cheng Yue looked at Huo Wen’an and asked respectfully, ”Lord Captain, when do we set off?”

Huo Wen’an directly ignored Cheng Yue and instead looked towards Xu Xingguang, speaking with a hint of nostalgia, ”Xingguang, I’m leaving.”

Xingguang nodded.

Seeing her so nonchalant, Huo Wen’an felt a bit uncomfortable inside, ”Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?”

Xu Xingguang reflected on herself and thought her attitude was indeed somewhat indifferent.

Considering her words, she pressed Huo Wen’an’s shoulder and said seriously, ”When you go back, remember to eat well, drink well, sleep well, and miss me.”

She suddenly leaned towards Huo Wen’an’s ear, teasing him, ”If you really miss me, you can contact me, I’ll send you my little videos.”

Huo Wen’an was amused by her.

He had been deceived by Xu Xingguang enough times to know that the ”little videos” Xu Xingguang mentioned were different from the ones he wanted.

”Okay, I know.”

Huo Wen’an came with little, but he left with a lot.

There was food prepared by Xu Xingguang and some medicinal herbs.

Uncle Xie and others knew Huo Wen’an was going on a long journey, so someone picked lotus seedpods from their fields, and someone brought vacuum-packed loaches for him to take back and cook.

The car trunk was packed full.

Looking at the items in the trunk, Huo Wen’an felt warm inside.

This is why he considered Cangshan Town his hometown.

His roots are here.

”Huo Wuyi!” Xu Xingguang opened the door to Huo Wuyi’s small courtyard, rubbed its little head, and told it, ”Your dad is leaving, aren’t you going to see him off?”

Huo Wuyi turned and ran towards Huo Wen’an.

It stood by Huo Wen’an’s feet, nudging at his trouser leg with its snout, its tail wagging like a propeller.

Huo Wen’an glanced at Huo Wuyi, and suddenly had an idea.

He crouched down, patted Huo Wuyi’s head, and suddenly looked at Xu Xingguang.

Thoughtfully, he said, ”If you’re going to West Continent City, you’ll probably be very busy. Sister Lin will be busy taking care of the medicine field, so Fearless will have no one to accompany him.”

Understandingly, Huo Wen’an suggested, ”How about letting Fearless come with me? He’s still young, it’s crucial for him to have a mentor at this stage when forming the right outlook. An adult needs to accompany him.”

”What do you think?”

Huo Wen’an had ulterior motives.

Huo Wuyi was raised by Xu Xingguang herself, although she always talks down to Huo Wuyi, her actions show she is extremely fond of him.

If Huo Wuyi returned with him to Divine Concealment Island, whenever Xu Xingguang missed Huo Wuyi, she would call him.

And wouldn’t that increase their contact?

Huo Wen’an felt somewhat aggrieved.

Which couple in love behaves like this? Not only are they often apart, but also his girlfriend often gives him the cold shoulder.

He was now Xu Xingguang’s fiancé and had every right to be capricious.

Xu Xingguang certainly knew what plan Huo Wen’an was hatching in his mind, but what Huo Wen’an said was true — if she went to West Continent City, Huo Wuyi really would have no one to accompany him.

”Then wait a moment, I’ll pack up some things for him.”

Xu Xingguang had bought many toys for Huo Wuyi, and she prepared to pack them for him.

Seeing this, Huo Wen’an said, ”No need to pack things, he will come back later. Just write me a list of what he needs.”
