Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

In the past, if anyone had told Huo Wen’an that his family descended from the Divine Hidden Crane, he would have thought they were talking nonsense.

What the hell is Divine Hidden Crane? Just hearing it sounds like something a middle-schooler would make up.

But ever since Xu Xingguang appeared in his life, everything he saw and heard became increasingly fantastical.

If life were a novel, then in his youth, Huo Wen’an would be the tragic male protagonist of a sorrowful story with a devastating background. And before the age of 27, he lived in a melodramatic family-drama novel titled ’Guess Who My Dad Is’.

Later on...

Now he feels that the world he lives in has already been classified as a fantasy novel.

What he sees and hears can be described as fantastical.

Even if someone pointed at his nose and said he was the reincarnation of the Divine Hidden Crane, he wouldn’t be surprised.

Because life is full of surprises.

”Master, what are we going to do now?” Ye Mingluo eagerly asked, wanting to do something.

He felt restless; if he didn’t find something to do, he would feel anxious.

”We’re going to the Capital City,” Xu Xingguang said, ”to meet Ying Ziyao.”

Ye Mingluo immediately felt motivated, ”Alright, to the Capital City!” He took out his phone and messaged his buddy far away in the Capital City, asking him to gather a group of breathtaking beauties for him to use.

His mischievous friend replied: [What? Is your hospital planning to turn into a brothel?]

Ye Mingluo smirked: [I have my uses.]

[Okay.]

Huo Wen’an caught on to the conversation between Ye Mingluo and his friends, and suddenly felt a bit sympathetic towards Ying Ziyao.

They were set to leave for the Capital City the next day. Before departing, Huo Wen’an took Xu Xingguang to visit Huo Xin’s house.

Huo Xin hadn’t returned yet, maybe working overtime.

The two stood under the morning glory vine, looking at the stars and flowers.

Huo Wen’an, easily plucking a morning glory, tucked it into Xu Xingguang’s hair on the left side, praising, ”Looks great.”

Xu Xingguang laughed at his lack of taste but didn’t remove the flower.

At 8:30, Huo Xin parked her car outside, and the headlights shone through the iron gate, like a little sun illuminating Huo Wen’an and Xu Xingguang.

Huo Xin was a bit surprised, not expecting to find two extra people in her yard, who even stole the morning glory planted by You Jiaoyang.

Huo Xin turned off the car and unlocked the gate electronically, walking into the yard and raised her eyebrows at the shameless pair standing there, asking without much humor, ”Did you climb over the wall to get in?”

Xu Xingguang quickly explained, ”I originally wanted to use the front door, but your brother thought climbing the wall was easier.”

Huo Xin asked Xu Xingguang, ”The front door? How? Pick the lock or crack the code?”

Before they could come up with an excuse, Huo Xin added, ”Is the point how you got in? Or is it the fact that you two entered my house without permission?”

Xu Xingguang rubbed her nose, staying silent.

Huo Wen’an said, ”Huo Xin, be gentle with her.”

Huo Xin: ”...”

A rush of blood went to her head, and she realized what being a ’wife protector’ meant. ”Little Sin, you’re completely under her control in this lifetime.”

Huo Wen’an did not argue.

”Come inside.”

Huo Xin led them into the house.

Upon entering, Huo Wen’an and Xu Xingguang saw a sleep dress and high heels scattered on the gray carpet and were momentarily stunned.

Huo Wen’an looked up at the sky and down at the floor; he was too embarrassed to look at the messy pile of clothes.

Xu Xingguang, used to various scenes, wasn’t surprised. She teased Huo Xin, ”Looks like you and You Jiaoyang’s romantic life is quite exciting.”

What a wild time.

This was the aftermath of You Jiaoyang’s beastly behavior this morning; both were in a rush to work and forgot to tidy up, thinking no one else would be home.

Even the mature and experienced Huo Xin blushed.

She quickly squatted down, picking up the clothes, and tossed the high heels into the study on the first floor.

Huo Wen’an stood by the sofa, seeing Huo Xin approaching, he pointed at it, asking, ”May I sit?”

Huo Xin: ”...”

”Please, sit.”

Only then did Huo Wen’an sit down, but he was like sitting on pins and needles, his mind flashing with images not suitable for children. However, the stars of these images weren’t Huo Xin and You Jiaoyang, but him and Xu Xingguang.

Huo Wen’an suddenly jumped up, heading straight to the kitchen to get a glass of ice water.

Huo Xin brought a beer over to Xu Xingguang, saying, ”There’s no tea at home, and it’s too late for coffee, so how about some beer?”

Xu Xingguang took the beer, ”Anything’s fine.”

She opened the beer tab and had just taken a sip when Huo Xin said, ”You two haven’t slept together yet?” Huo Wen’an’s rookie reaction made it obvious he was still inexperienced.

Xu Xingguang blinked, amusedly looking at Huo Wen’an hiding in the kitchen drinking ice water, and didn’t deny it.
