"Don't you miss me?" Huo Lin smiled faintly at her. He had only been away on a business trip for three days, yet she had said she missed him three times.

"Oh, right, right!" Xun Ting nodded. She had almost forgotten about it herself. She had just mentioned it casually, but she didn't expect the villain to take it so seriously.

I felt a tiny bit touched...

"Go to sleep." Huo Lin changed into slippers and casually draped his suit jacket over the stairs.

He went upstairs and lay down on the bed with the woman, but he fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

Xun Ting's lips twitched; the villain's ability to fall asleep was beyond her comprehension.

However... the man's exhaustion was hard to hide, and his dark circles under his eyes were so prominent that it was heartbreaking to see. Was he so busy over there that he didn't have time to sleep?

It seems that work isn't so easy after all; she doesn't understand the world of the big shots.

...

...

The next morning, she was dragged out of bed to wash up. She was so sleepy that she questioned her existence. She frowned tightly and glared fiercely at the back of the villain's head.

"Mr. Huo, aren't you going back to work? You've finished half a month's worth of work in just three days?"

"We'll be back in a bit." The man seemed unusually good-tempered today; his tone was much gentler than usual.

He kept changing his suit jacket and tie in front of the mirror.

Xun Ting finished washing up and saw this scene. He was stunned. It was the first time he had ever seen a villain like this. Was he going to meet some important person or was it an important occasion?

So much trouble...

The villain finally made his choice after much deliberation and then opened her wardrobe for her to choose from.

"Change."

“???” Xun Ting frowned. What business was it of hers what kind of occasion the villain was going to?

The air fell silent instantly. Under immense pressure from the villain's gaze, she had no choice but to quickly change.

After getting into the car, the driver was different, and Gu Zhu was nowhere to be seen.

"Master Huo, where are we going?"

"Civil Affairs Bureau".

Xun Ting paused, slightly taken aback. All he ever heard there was talk of marriages and divorces. The villain, a single man, was with her. Thinking back to picking out clothes this morning, could it be…?

Thinking of this, she panicked instantly and blurted out, "Where are you going?"

"I'll give you status." Huo Lin stared at her expressionlessly, his eyes cold and menacing, giving off a fierce and threatening feeling. The slight trembling of his slender fingertips betrayed his true emotions.

Listening closely, it's clear that if she dares to say anything displeasing now, the villain will definitely kill her.

Her hands trembled, her face was pale and she was about to cry. Was this... getting a marriage certificate? Wouldn't she become the villain's openly righteous woman afterward?

Every day, besides tidying up the little white flowers, she's on guard against the villain's enemies. Has she become a housewife?

She regretted it; she shouldn't have acted that way yesterday, saying things that were unbecoming of her status.

"Young Madam, please rest assured, the Huo family members are all easy to get along with and will never reject you. Mr. Huo has never had any other woman, only you."

Jiang, sitting in the front row, immediately took on the responsibility of being the best helper. He wasn't stupid enough to be like Gu, who was thrown into the middle of nowhere.

"oh."

"Unhappy?"

"I... how about we get married next time? Mr. Huo... maybe you're just interested in me out of curiosity and will get tired of me in a few days. It would be such a hassle to go through the divorce process then."

She struggled to speak, not wanting to step into the grave of marriage so soon.

Besides, she couldn't handle a man like Master Huo.

Most importantly, shouldn't marriage be based on love?

"I won't get tired of it, but I won't leave it either; it's too much trouble."
