C82 Im in a Good Mood Today!

Huo Lingxiao was a natural-born leader, exuding an aura of authority and dominance. His powerful presence was intimidating, with a chilling air that warned others to keep their distance. It was a cold, bone-chilling aura, the kind that could freeze a person to the core.

No one dared to look up or speak. Guests wished they could become invisible. Many had already recognized the man with the commanding presence as Huo Lingxiao, the renowned leader of the Huo family. Those who knew him called him Sixth Master Huo, as he disliked being referred to as the Young Marshal.

To someone like Huo Lingxiao, who had fought on real battlefields and commanded thousands of troops, the title "Young Marshal" seemed dismissive of his abilities. He was a self-made leader, achieving feats others could only dream of, without relying on his father's legacy.

His acquaintances and soldiers never called him "Young Marshal." They respectfully addressed him as "Sixth Master Huo," recognizing his prowess and leadership on the battlefield.

He was a leader by nature, needing no one's influence to command respect. Huo Lingxiao's tall figure stood firmly a step away from Henry, his gaze indifferent as he looked past him, barely acknowledging his presence. He lazily called out a name, "Ye Yuvyuv!"

"Present, sir!" came the crisp response, accompanied by a perfect salute. Ye Yuvyuv reacted with the agility of a watchful creature, stepping forward and saluting with precision.

"Wow, look at that lady. She's so impressive."

"Yeah, she looks like a military officer."

"She's really attractive, a beautiful and striking woman."

The men whispered among themselves, admiring, "That young woman, when she jumped out, she was so brave and dashing, like a modern-day Mulan."

"She looks so delicate and gentle, yet she's surprisingly formidable."

"Could she actually be a military officer?"

The diners, initially tense and silent due to Ye Yuvyuv's unexpected move, found the atmosphere in the restaurant slightly relaxed.

Henry, who was standing in front, was taken aback by the swift, graceful figure that darted past him, offering a sharp salute. He was both surprised and captivated.

He had never seen a woman, especially one so young, shine so brightly before his eyes.

Yes, Yuvyuv seemed to radiate light, dazzling like a brilliant gem.

Henry suddenly felt an urge to keep this dazzling gem to himself, not wanting anyone else to covet her beauty.

While everyone in the restaurant was praising Ye Yuvyuv's impressive salute, only Huo Lingxiao's dark, piercing eyes were fixed on her. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, filled with a deep, icy mystery, like a frozen cellar in the dead of winter, hiding sharp curiosity and the unknown.

It was only when Ye Yuvyuv met Huo Lingxiao's intense gaze that she realized her mistake.

She had acted on instinct from her past life, responding as a soldier would to a superior officer.

But she had forgotten she was reborn, now just an eighteen-year-old girl, naive and inexperienced.

She had been careless.

She revealed what should have remained hidden.

In front of this perceptive and calculating man, Ye Yuvyuv felt utterly exposed. She thought to herself, "I'm really asking for trouble here."

Her hand, raised in a salute, remained frozen in place. It wasn't that she didn't want to lower it; she just felt paralyzed under the man's sharp, knife-like gaze. She didn't dare move, fearing she'd give herself away.

Then, "Yuvyuv, what's going on? Why are you saluting this man? He's not your superior; you don't need to salute him," Henry said, snapping out of his astonishment.

Henry's words startled Ye Yuvyuv, causing her to flinch involuntarily. Both Henry and the man across from her noticed.

The man's eyes never left her. Suddenly, he looked at her with a cold intensity and lazily said, "How do you know she's not one of my soldiers?"

Boom! Ye Yuvyuv's heart skipped a beat, as if thunder had cracked right above her. She stared wide-eyed at the man, as if he were a madman. Her breath caught in her throat, and she thought, "This devil is talking nonsense. He can't be serious."

The man's next words froze her in place, "Ye Yuvyuv, as a Major General of the Three Provinces, I inform you that you've been accepted into the military hospital."

Boom! It felt like a storm of thunder had erupted over her head, leaving her completely stunned. She glared at the man with eyes full of disbelief, as if he were a demon from her past life.

It was only now that she truly understood what a fateful connection meant. Her entanglement with this devil of a man seemed to have carried over from a past life, only to start anew with her rebirth.

Ye Yuvyuv even had a terrifying thought: perhaps it was because she had drunkenly thrown herself at this great devil in her previous life, and now he was back for revenge.

At this moment, Ye Yuvyuv wanted to shout to the heavens, "Please, just make this devil disappear from my sight!"

With that thought, she instinctively squeezed her eyes shut. When she realized how silly that was, she opened them again, and... huh? The man was gone? Really gone?

Could it be that the heavens had heard her plea and taken Huo Lingxiao, the devil leader, away?

Just then, a cold, mocking voice sounded above her, "Silly girl, you look ridiculous when you laugh like that."

Smack! Ye Yuvyuv's heart sank into ice. She looked up and met a pair of familiar, dark, and captivating eyes. She screamed, "Ah, a ghost!"

Huo Lingxiao just stood there, "..."

This little thing clearly needed some discipline, but he was in a good mood today and decided to let it slide.
