Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 417 Thank You for Your Care

Zhang Meiling’s mouth fell open, surprise flashing in her eyes, "Then you’re telling me, my brother-in-law is some kind of small business owner now?"

Xu Ying nodded, that was more or less the case.

"My goodness, then what’s my mom complaining about." Zhang Meiling had seen that fried food stand; every time school let out and she went there, it was packed with people, never short of business, making good money.

Leaning back on the bed, Xu Ying felt the same way. One shouldn’t underestimate an individual entrepreneur—in this era, as long as you had some guts and weren’t foolish, almost anyone could make a success if they went into business.

Those who looked down on entrepreneurs would feel envious later on.

"Your mom probably just doesn’t know the whole story. Once Aimin explains it to her, it’ll be fine," Xu Ying said, feeling fatigue wash over her as she spoke.

She got up, washed up, and then lay down on the bed to sleep.

Zhang Meiling lay on another hospital bed, her mind filled with the image of the man she had seen today.

The next morning, Xu Ying had barely turned over and not yet opened her eyes when she felt a familiar presence behind her.

Her eyes immediately widened.

"Awake?" Huo Chen’s deep voice resonated, and his handsome face appeared before Xu Ying, who said with a face full of surprise, "Why are you here?"

"I was worried, so I came," Huo Chen said, pinching her soft hand.

Joy was evident in Xu Ying’s eyes, and seeing the dark circles under Huo Chen’s eyes, she showed her concern, "Did you come overnight? Are you tired? You should lie down and get some rest."

Huo Chen shook his head, "I came to take care of you, how could I take the bed from you?"

With Huo Chen’s help, Xu Ying sat up, "I’m fine now. After breakfast, I’m planning to continue working at the exhibition hall.

You should rest in bed for a bit, and later we can go out and get a room."

"Yingying, it’s time to eat," Zhang Meiling called out as she came back with food, making faces at Xu Ying. This morning, the moment she opened her eyes, she got a fright when she saw an extra man in the ward.

Once she realized it was Yingying’s suitor, Zhang Meiling felt a wave of envy. These days, going abroad wasn’t easy, not to mention the complications involved, just the travel alone took a very long time.

Yingying’s suitor must have heard that Yingying was unwell and rushed over immediately—their relationship was indeed strong, and the suitor was truly caring towards Yingying.

Sigh, she’d never seen a man treat a woman so well.

Her father at home was waited on by her mother, too; after all, she rarely saw those men who doted on their wives, probably only in stories.

Hearing her voice, Xu Ying immediately got off the bed.

Huo Chen took the breakfast and thanked Zhang Meiling, "Thank you for taking care of my wife these past few days.

When we get back, I’ll treat you to a meal. Our fried food stand is right next to your school; whenever you want to eat, just come by."

Hearing about this treat, Zhang Meiling immediately agreed, joking, "Alright, but just don’t complain when I eat too much there."

Huo Chen shook his head at once, "That definitely won’t happen. You’ve been taking care of my wife for so long; even if you came to eat there every day, I wouldn’t say a word."

Hearing this, Zhang Meiling envied Xu Ying even more. The reason he spoke like that was because he saw his wife as priceless; just for taking care of her for a few days, she was worth that much.

Rich, good-looking, and treats his wife well—why hasn’t she ever met a suitor like that?

"Okay, once I’m back, I’ll definitely have to visit your store," she affirmed. After all, her future brother-in-law worked there, and she needed to see for herself what kind of man could charm her sister so.

Huo Chen nodded and Xu Ying called him over to eat breakfast.

Just as Zhang Meiling sat down, the voice of her suitor, Sun Xuanhao, came from outside the door, his fluent Chinese calling out, "Meiling, are you going to the exhibition hall today?

I can go with you, and I might even introduce you to some clients."

Hearing this, Zhang Meiling turned her head to look at Xu Ying.

Hearing Sun Xuanhao’s offer, Xu Ying, while munching on a steamed bun, nodded vigorously, encouraging Zhang Meiling to hurry up and agree.

An opportunity to meet clients was not to be missed.

Zhang Meiling immediately understood Xu Ying’s intention and hurriedly nodded at Sun Xuanhao, "I’ll go."

Seeing this, Sun Xuanhao’s face brightened with joy, "When will you go? I’ll go with you."

"Meiling, it’s fine if you go first. After breakfast, my man will take me there," Xu Ying said.

Hearing the words "my man," the smile on Huo Chen’s lips grew even wider.

After Zhang Meiling and Sun Xuanhao left, Huo Chen couldn’t resist pecking Xu Ying on the lips.

"What are you doing!" Xu Ying, who was eating, was caught off guard and jumped in fright.

Huo Chen’s mouth curled up in a smile, "I’m happy. You’re my woman."

Seeing this, Xu Ying’s heart filled with sweetness and she gave him a playful glare, "Childish."

"Eat up, you too." Xu Ying picked up a small steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, and they happily shared their breakfast, sipping soup and biting into the buns by turns.

Anthony and Mr. Henry saw this scene when they arrived in the morning.

"Xu, what are you doing?" Anthony exclaimed as soon as he entered the ward.

Huo Chen turned around at the sound of the voice. The man in front of him was all too familiar.

A man knows another man’s desires best, and the look this man gave his wife was the same as the one he gave his own wife.

Looking at Anthony, Huo Chen’s eyes were full of defiance, "What’s it to you? I’m just having breakfast with my wife. You foreigners always make a big deal out of nothing."

Xu Ying’s face was full of shock, "You can speak foreign languages?"

Huo Chen’s face was filled with pride, "Just studied it for a year."

Now Xu Ying was unsettled. To achieve such a result after only a year of study, she would have struggled with foreign languages if it weren’t for the aid of the ’system’.

But her man had become so impressive in just a year, a true genius.

Beside them, Anthony, hearing this claim, also wore a puzzled expression, their foreign language was that easy to learn?

Why could he still hardly speak Chinese after nearly a year of study?

Mr. Henry remained silent, and while Anthony and Huo Chen exchanged glances, he carried the breakfast over to Xu Ying, "How come you got steamed buns and millet porridge too?

I was worried you wouldn’t be used to our breakfast here, so I specifically ordered steamed buns and millet porridge for you.

See if you’re not full yet and maybe have some more."

Anthony, glaring at Huo Chen with anger, pointed at Henry, "Why are you mad at me? Look how attentive he is to your wife."

Huo Chen also felt a surge of anger, truly detesting these men who lacked any sense of propriety.

Xu Ying, looking at Mr. Henry, also shook her head with an anxious refusal, not believing she was that impressive.

Mr. Henry couldn’t possibly like her, could he?

"Thank you, Mr. Henry, but I’ve had enough," she said.

Mr. Henry nodded and looked disdainfully at Anthony and Huo Chen, "Please don’t assume the worst of people. As my most important business partner, I naturally need to treat Xu well.

If anything were to happen to her health, my way making money in the future would be cut off."

Anthony, still fuming, accused, "You’re just making excuses."

After he finished, he turned to Huo Chen with a warning in his eyes, "Even though Xu is your wife, that doesn’t mean you can stop me from being good to her.

And I’m warning you, you’d better treat Xu well, or I will definitely take Xu back from your hands."
