Chapter: 2872
He Hongsheng confidently said, “Master Ye, you can relax. Professor He and Miss He can come to me anytime they need help in the future!”
He Yuanjiang was a bit confused. Why would Charlie Wade want an older man, who could almost be his father, to take care of him and his daughter? But he also knew that Charlie had many special skills, so this decision must have a good reason. He replied politely, “Thank you for looking out for us!”
He Hongsheng smiled and replied, “No need to be so formal, Professor He. From now on, we’re all friends. Helping each other is just what friends do.”
He Yuanjiang felt that He Hongsheng was not an ordinary man. His words were wise, and even though he was older, he had the presence of someone truly remarkable.
As He Yuanjiang was deep in thought, Charlie Wade introduced, “Uncle He, Father He is the head of the Northeast He Family. This family is one of the four major martial arts families in China. From now on, Father He and his warriors will be living here, which means you and Zhiqiu will be much safer.”
Hearing this, He Yuanjiang was shocked. He quickly said, “Old He, I’m sorry for not realizing you were a martial artist!”
He Hongsheng smiled and humbly replied, “Please, Professor He, don’t be so formal. We’re just ordinary people with some skills. You are the one we truly respect for your knowledge!”
Charlie Wade shook his head with a smile, “You both should stop praising each other so much. You’ll be neighbors from now on, so you’ll have plenty of time to talk later.”
He Hongsheng laughed and said, “Well, since Master Ye has mentioned it, we should definitely celebrate together the next day.”
Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “Alright, I’ll make plans for tonight then. I need to welcome you and Ms. He, so let’s have a simple meal and enjoy a couple of drinks together.”
He Hongsheng quickly responded, “If Master Ye has plans tonight, we can do it another day.”
Charlie Wade assured him, “It’s nothing serious. I’m just going home for dinner, but my wife has been busy with work and won’t be home tonight.”
He then turned to He Yuanjiang and He Zhiqiu and asked, “Uncle He, are you and Zhiqiu free tonight?”
“No problem!” He Yuanjiang didn’t speak, but He Zhiqiu eagerly replied.
She remembered that her father had made pig’s knuckle soup at home and planned to cook noodles for herself tonight. It was her favorite dish from when she was a child. But since Charlie Wade wanted to invite them to eat together, she would much rather enjoy the meal with him. If her father spoke up now and said no, it would spoil everything.
When He Yuanjiang heard his daughter’s enthusiastic response, he quickly agreed. However, he felt a mix of surprise and a hint of jealousy.
Just a couple of days ago, he learned that his daughter’s feelings were perfectly normal. It dawned on him that she might have feelings for Charlie Wade. He felt a bit sad, knowing that Charlie Wade was already married and that there was no real chance for them. But seeing the way Zhiqiu blushed made him realize just how much she liked him.
She couldn’t stop thinking about Charlie Wade. As she pondered this, he sighed to himself, “Wow, she’s really into him. I spent the whole afternoon making pig’s feet noodles, and they didn’t even get noticed. It looks like love really does change everything.”
