Huo Jingrui said nonchalantly, "I’m his future brother-in-law, he wouldn’t dare."
He laughed as he spoke. The two had known each other since they were young and used to live in the military family compound. They had fought many times, but their relationship grew stronger because of it.
The Lu and Huo families complemented each other naturally, so even the younger generation got along quite well. Later, they joined different military units, so they saw each other less frequently.
The two first stopped by the department store, bought a bunch of candies, and then headed to the gathering spot.
The place they chose for the gathering was a private kitchen.
If not led by someone, they probably wouldn’t have found the place, as it was located in a residential area, inside a second courtyard of a four-section compound.
The courtyard was tastefully decorated, but it was a pity it was winter. If it were summer, it would surely be another beautiful scene.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, someone shouted at them, "Fourth Brother Huo, over here."
Hearing the nickname, it was clear, without a doubt, it must be either a childhood buddy or a close comrade.
Huo Jingrui brought Yunyi forward, and the two men bumped arms naturally and smoothly, showing it was a habitual action.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Huo Jingrui introduced Yunyi, "This is Xue Liangyu, the third son of Uncle Xue who lives behind our house. He works at the city’s Grain Bureau and is now at the main section level."
Then he promptly introduced Yunyi to Xue Liangyu, "This is my wife, Chuyunyi."
After greeting each other, Xue Liangyu remarked, "Fourth Brother Huo, your wife is truly beautiful. You’re quite lucky."
The three of them chatted as they entered the private room.
Huo Jingrui explained to Yunyi, "Some of the childhood friends who are here today couldn’t come to our wedding due to work, so we arranged this gathering."
