Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

”I think it’s all good, Your Highness. You’re the expert. With you and A Zui supervising the wedding, I have no worries.” As long as she’s marrying the right person, she really doesn’t care about anything else.

Perhaps having been a man in multiple lifetimes, Xu Xingguang looks forward to and has certain expectations for the wedding, but it’s far from being nitpicky.

Hearing Xu Xingguang say this, Andariel replied, ”Then leave it to me. I’ll make sure to organize a magnificent wedding praised worldwide for you both.”

Xu Xingguang could already imagine how breathtaking that day would be.

Huo Canghai is Huo Ziyin’s only son and had no siblings. Therefore, Huo Wen’an doesn’t have any truly close cousins either.

Huo Canghai and his ex-wife Zheng Jiao’e have three children together, two sons and one daughter. The eldest is Huo Yunsheng, the second is Huo Yinting, and the youngest is Huo Jianghe.

Everyone who could come to the birthday party showed up.

Huo Wen’an’s eldest brother, Huo Yunsheng, is currently infected with the AIDS virus and is isolated in a small villa, unable to attend Huo Wen’an’s birthday party. Huo Yunsheng’s second son is still being punished in the Central Cave and cannot make his appearance.

Therefore, from Huo Yunsheng’s household, Song Chi and the first lady, Xie Jinyun, were sent to celebrate Huo Wen’an’s birthday.

Huo Wen’an’s second sister, Huo Yinting, has never married and is a strong woman, dedicated to managing the family business. When Huo Wen’an was critically ill, and Huo Wenbei and other Direct Lineage members of the Huo Family were busy fighting for the leadership, Huo Yinting remained clear-headed.

She neither took sides nor participated in the power struggle.

She always remembered her father’s advice —

Loyalty to the Huo Family, loyalty to the Huo Family Leader.

For her, it doesn’t matter who is leading, what matters is stabilizing her own assets.

Therefore, when Huo Wen’an reconciled with Huo Canghai and officially became the Huo Family Leader, reshuffling the Huo Family’s power, Huo Yinting was one of the few Direct Lineage members not affected.

Huo Yinting is two years younger than Huo Yunsheng, and she is 52 this year.

She can make money, she’s willing to spend it, and she’s willing to invest in herself. Therefore, at over fifty, she still has fair and tight skin, with ambitious eyes.

In a white silk blouse with a bow, a deep purple pencil skirt, and black high heels with red bottoms that reveal slender, well-proportioned calves, she stepped into the Moon Palace, exuding elegance, which made Xie Jinyun couldn’t help but steal a glance.

Once inside the hall, Huo Yinting removed the coat from her shoulders and handed it to a waiting servant.

She carried a purse in her left hand, a beautifully wrapped gift box in her right, and walked towards Huo Wen’an.

She looked somewhat complicatedly at the man in front of her, whom she had called ”Wen An Nephew” for ten years. Huo Yinting was adaptable, her expression unchanged, she called out, ”Little brother.”

Hearing Huo Yinting call him ”little brother,” Xie Jinyun and others felt a bit uncomfortable.

Huo Wen’an looked at the powerful woman in front of him, whom he had called ”aunt” for ten years, mouthed a few times, and finally softly called, ”...Second sister.”

Huo Yinting got goosebumps all over.

She quickly handed over the birthday gift to Huo Wen’an, ”Happy birthday.” Having presented the gift, she turned and walked over to Xie Jinyun and the others.

Sitting down, Huo Yinting took out a notebook from her bag and began handling business matters.

Xie Jinyun noticed her busy demeanor and couldn’t resist moving closer to ask, ”Second sister, you came back alone again this year. Are you really not planning to get married?”

”What do you need a man for?” Huo Yinting didn’t even look up. She said, ”I have endless money in my account, countless young men waiting for my favor.”

”If I’m happy today, I’ll call Handsome No. 1. If I’m unhappy tomorrow, I’ll call Charming No. 2. If I’m lonely and bored the day after tomorrow, I’ll call Energetic No. 3.”

”As long as I have money, I can’t run out of men. Having a husband at home just makes my eyes hurt.”

After speaking, Huo Yinting earnestly advised Xie Jinyun, ”Sister-in-law, you are too traditional, too conservative. If I were you, and married to a loafer like my elder brother, I’d have already fathered a litter of illegitimate children for him.”

Xie Jinyun: ”...”

Such shocking words, only Huo Yinting dared to say them openly under public scrutiny.

Huo Wen’an noticed Xu Xingguang standing in the doorway with crossed arms, and after hearing Huo Yinting’s words, Xu Xingguang was clearly intrigued by her.

He subtly remarked, ”There are children here, mind your words.”

The one bringing children to the birthday party was Huo Wen’an’s third brother, Huo Jianghe. Huo Jianghe is 49 this year and has a son and a daughter, the eldest son is 10 and the younger daughter is 6.
