Having lived for nearly twenty-five years, this was the first time Tang Li had ever seen a man cry like a child in front of her.
When our parents passed away, my brother didn't shed a single tear.
He patted her on the shoulder and said:
"From now on, I'll protect you."
Tang Li thought all men were the same.
It was the first time she had ever seen such a large-scale event, and she was genuinely panicked at first.
A grown man, crying his heart out in front of her, isn't he afraid of being laughed at by others?
In her panic, Tang Li couldn't help but burst into laughter.
She shoved him away, then picked up her phone, opened the camera, and pointed it at Huo Chenyu's face:
"You cry your heart out. I have to film this once-in-a-millennium scene so I can savor it later."
Huo Chenyu was both amused and exasperated.
He grabbed her and covered her mouth with his hand.
Tang Li struggled and roared:
"Huo Chenyu, your snot!"
After their lips parted, Huo Chenyu buried his head in her chest. Tang Li stroked the back of his head, looking disgusted.
"My clothes are quite expensive today, and you're all crying and sniffling, isn't that disgusting?"
"I'll pay for the clothes."
"And the necklace is soaked with your tears, it's going to fade."
Huo Chenyu said in a muffled voice:
"So you were scammed and bought a fake product, right?"
Tang Li cupped Huo Chenyu's face in her hands and asked fiercely:
"Just tell me, are you going to compensate me or not?"
"pay!"
"Just pay up, isn't that enough? Are you done crying? If not, keep crying. Once you're done, we'll drive over and go eat hot pot."
Huo Chenyu rubbed his face against her nose:
"Aren't you going to take a look at these recordings and videos?"
Tang Li frowned:
Why should I look at these?
"These can prove my innocence."
"So what?"
I want you to fall in love with me again.
So domineering!
Tang Li shook his head:
"Mr. Huo, didn't your Chinese teacher teach you that a broken mirror can't be mended, spilled water can't be gathered up again, shattered jade can't be restored, and fallen flowers can't be picked up again?"
Huo Chenyu's eyes were red:
"Who says a broken mirror can't be mended? Water splashes and then calms down, the mirror remains the same. Who says spilled water can't be gathered up? The tide recedes and rises again, the four seas are vast. Who says broken jade can't be restored? Exquisite carvings and inlays, each unique. Who says fallen flowers can't be picked up again? When spring comes, a hundred flowers bloom, vying for beauty and fragrance."
Tang Li was stunned.
It took him a while to realize what was happening, then he gave a thumbs up:
"You're 6, you're 666, no, you're 9, you're 999."
I have to admit it.
At this moment, Huo Chenyu, for the sake of love, probably used all his talent and literary brilliance.
However, he looked puzzled when he saw 999.
"What 999? Is it cold medicine?"
Tang Li said irritably:
"Because you multiply 6 by 9, doesn't that make 9?"
Whether it's 666 or even more than 6, Huo Chenyu pulled her into a tight embrace:
"Please love me one more time."
You bastard!
He's done everything, good and bad.
He said both good and bad things.
"I assure you that from now on, I will trust you completely and be absolutely honest with you. When times are peaceful, we will share happiness; when storms come, we will face them together."
Oh.
She has a very talkative mouth.
"Anything else?" Tang Li decided to listen attentively.
Huo Chenyu smiled:
"I know that you are not only my intimate lover, but also my soulmate. In the future, you will also be the mother of my children and a comrade-in-arms who fights alongside me. In short, no matter how the world changes, I will always be with you."
"That's it?"
"Yes, I love you."
That's it?
"It's gone."
"Let's go eat hot pot then." Tang Li turned around, calming herself down a bit.
Huo Chenyu wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, rested his head on her shoulder, and asked:
"Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Tang Li shook his head slightly:
"It's not the right time yet."
"Isn't it time yet?" Huo Chenyu grumbled.
Tang Li pried his hands open and laughed:
"The mood for teasing you is over, now all I want to do is eat hot pot."
Huo Chenyu grabbed her hand:
"Okay, hardworking little nanny, let's go eat hot pot."
Nanny?
"What those girls said?" Tang Li pouted.
That woman is really unethical.
"Otherwise what? Can I just make it up myself?"
Huo Chenyu is not taking the blame for this.
Tang Li snorted:
"No wonder they have beautiful appearances but can't win your heart. With their limited insight and petty thoughts, they've wasted the good looks they were born with."
Smart people should exercise more and talk less.
With that kind of effort, he should definitely do a 5km cross-country run too!
"Lili, don't test me like this again. You know I only love you. I may not be good with words, but I will spend the rest of my life proving to you that I can do it."
Huo Chenyu really is something else; he can say nice things so effortlessly.
Tang Li pouted:
"You call this being unable to speak properly? With those empty promises you just made, you could easily abandon business and go into literature. Before long, the literary world would belong to you, Young Master Huo."
It seems that the knot in my heart has been completely untied.
Huo Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Whether I'm a businessman or a writer, after marrying you, I have to be your wife first. Let's go eat hot pot."
It's fine to follow one's wife.
Tang Li raised his hand:
"Hot pot, hold on. Since you say you'll follow your wife, let me ask you this: can't I do whatever I want? Go wherever I want?"
"That's natural."
Huo Chenyu answered very decisively.
