That evening, when Huo Junyu returned home after sorting the goods, Jiang Mianmian was still sitting on the sofa with the TV on, but her mind was not on the TV at all.

She watched the man enter the room, change into slippers as usual, and then take the empty thermos into the kitchen, where he slowly began to wash it.

He acted like nothing had happened!

They even finished the whole braised pork knuckle and rice!

Jiang Mianmian bit her lip and waited for him to coax her.

A moment later, the sound of running water in the kitchen stopped, and Huo Junyu dried his hands and came out, actually sitting down next to her.

At this moment, Jiang Mianmian felt a little better, and the corners of her mouth were about to turn up in a smile when the man blurted out:

Are you still angry?

Jiang Mianmian thought to herself, "So she's not so stupid after all."

She gave a muffled "hmm" and turned her face away from him.

Huo Junyu cleared his throat, a hint of tenderness appearing on his cool and aloof face, but he still maintained a serious demeanor.

"Um... shall we have a proper talk?"

Jiang Mianmian was taken aback, but a smile she couldn't hide appeared on her lips.

At this moment, countless classic scenes from the idol dramas she had watched before were playing out in her mind.

When the female lead is angry, the male lead always swallows his pride and tries to coax her... only the methods differ. I wonder what method Huo Yu will use?

Judging from his dull and clueless appearance, he probably isn't very romantic...

However, she was already very satisfied if he said a few nice words.

Moreover, this person is a man of action.

He might even use actions to "force" her not to be angry, for example...

Jiang Mianmian blushed, her ears felt like they were burning, and she tried her best to suppress those wonderful thoughts.

"Okay, fine," she said calmly. "Tell me what you want to talk about, I'm listening."

“I know why you’re angry,” Huo Junyu said in a low voice. “You must have heard what Aunt Niu told me this afternoon.”

"Um……"

"If my deduction is correct, what you heard was that she said she has an only daughter, and that all of her family's assets will go to her daughter in the future, while all of your family's assets will go to Xiaowei. You will get nothing, and I will also have nothing... So you think she was trying to get me to leave this family, right?"

Jiang Mianmian frowned. He had said so much in one breath, yet his expression was serious, as if he had no intention of comforting her...

Sure enough, Huo Junyu's next step was to reason with her:

“Since you heard all that, didn’t you listen to what happened next?” He looked at her seriously. “I let her go afterwards, and I even described her as ‘pig’s snout.’ She seemed quite afraid of me, and she ran away with her things… What, you didn’t notice any of that?”

"Wait..." Jiang Mianmian was a little confused, "Why are you telling me this?"

"I'm explaining the cause and effect to you, my attitude, and where you're being unreasonable!"

"you……"

“I’ve already explained the whole story, and my attitude is very clear: I will not leave this family.” Huo Junyu’s gaze was serious. “But you’ve misunderstood me and made yourself angry, which is hard to understand.”

"..."

"Now that things are out in the open, you should understand my thoughts. From now on, you can't misunderstand me so easily, and you definitely can't give me the cold shoulder, understand?"

"Huo Yu..."

"Jiang Mianmian, you misunderstood me this time, but I won't hold it against you. Just don't do it again!"

Jiang Mianmian looked at him quietly.

Huo Junyu felt his lecture was very successful, and at the end he patted her head and gave her a gentle smile, "That's a good girl!"

However, the air instantly became quiet.

The little girl's gaze was getting increasingly strange, and he could hear his own heart pounding harder and harder...

After a long pause, Jiang Mianmian gave a cold laugh and softly uttered three words, "Finished talking?"

"Uh...we've finished talking."

"Very good, get some rest."

After saying that, Jiang Mianmian got up, but she didn't go upstairs.

Before Huo Junyu could react, she suddenly grabbed the folding bed he was standing on the wall and threw it onto the porch with a bang!

Huo Junyu was dumbfounded. He had never known that this seemingly delicate and weak little girl was so strong!

"I said, you..."

Jiang Mianmian roared like a lioness from Hedong: "You're sleeping outside tonight!"

Huo Junyu remained motionless.

After she huffed and puffed her way upstairs, he stretched his stiff neck and limbs, recalling the dreamlike experience he had just had…

Then I went to the porch, carefully unfolded the folding bed, covered myself with a sheet, and lay down on it.

But my mind is still racing... Did I say something wrong?

That shouldn't be the case. When he argues with people, he always has sufficient arguments and evidence, and his logic is rigorous. He has never lost in this regard.

He knew Jiang Mianmian was jealous.

But she really did misunderstand him!

If I don't point it out to her this time, what if she gets angry again next time?

Huo Junyu scratched his head, feeling extremely annoyed. He had never been this tired when writing his thesis back in the day.

I tossed and turned for a long time, unable to fall asleep, when I suddenly remembered that website with high-quality Q&A, so I logged in and asked another question:

What should I do if I've made my girlfriend angry? Waiting for an answer online.

Soon, there were many replies and comments. He picked through them and then explained the whole story of why Jiang Mianmian was angry.

His post then caused an uproar.

Everyone laughed at his "straight man's" behavior and wished him a happy single life.

Huo Junyu was so angry he wanted to curse, but then he thought that since he couldn't sleep anyway, he might as well start a fight with these people!

But then, a reply with few likes caught his eye:

"There's no other way to deal with making your girlfriend angry. No matter whose fault it is, just apologize."

Huo Junyu thought for a moment and replied, "What if she's not my girlfriend yet?"

The other person quickly replied: "Dude, you have a one-sided crush and you still dare to do something like this? Here's my advice: if you really like her, just confess quickly, don't delay!"

These words struck Huo Junyu's heart like a sudden blow.

Confessing my feelings...

Actually, after Huo Junyang jokingly said "kiss her," he subconsciously had this thought.

It's just that this person is saying it on his behalf today.

Huo Junyu turned off his phone, lay on the bed in a daze, and after a while turned his head to look. Tonight, the Milky Way was dazzling and breathtaking.

He smiled, his arm across his forehead, his mood as bright and clear as the starry sky.

Gu Feng was looking at reports in his office when his subordinate knocked on the door and came in quietly.

Gu Feng asked without looking up, "Have you found everything?"

His subordinate stammered and couldn't say anything.

Gu Feng applied a little pressure with his pen, tearing the paper, and then slowly raised his eyes to look at him.

"What happened?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu..." the subordinate stammered, "We've investigated everything we could, but we can't find anything. The tracking device on the truck Huo Yu was driving... is broken!"
