Jiang Mianmian was stunned for a moment.
She saw his gaze, deep yet revealing a carefree smile, carrying an air of disdain for everything.
At that moment, Jiang Mianmian not only felt safe, but also had a lot of courage.
It seems that as long as he is by her side, even if there is a thorny road ahead, she can walk with him without hesitation.
"Huo Yu!" Gu Zihan screamed hysterically, "Who do you think you are? How dare you help this bitch against me? Have you thought about the consequences?!"
"Consequences?" Huo Junyu curled his lips coldly. "Miss Gu, I'm not well-educated and don't know how to write the word 'consequences.' Can you teach me?"
"you……"
"And another thing!" Huo Junyu's eyes were sinister as he approached her step by step. "If you dare to disrespect Jiang Mianmian again, or utter any more foul language, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Gu Zihan, who has always been proud and arrogant, has never been threatened like this before.
She was furious, her face turned pale and she trembled all over. Like a madwoman, she shouted and yelled for a few thugs to smash up the shop.
The thugs grabbed their sticks and immediately sprang into action.
Huo Junyu turned Jiang Mianmian's shoulder and pushed her into the store, while he stood outside.
Jiang Mianmian took out her phone to call the police, when she suddenly heard a man's deep, angry roar.
"Who dares?!"
The thugs were frozen in place.
Huo Junyu had a cold expression and a powerful aura; a single glance from him was enough to deter the group of people from approaching.
Like Hades emerging from hell.
Gu Zihan was also afraid. She didn't know what she was afraid of about this man, but there was an invisible pressure emanating from him that made her afraid to even breathe.
"What...what are you all standing there for?" Gu Zihan's voice trembled. "So many of you, and you can't beat him? Smash this shop!"
Huo Junyu's face grew increasingly gloomy, his gaze sharp as he coldly swept over everyone's faces.
The group of thugs, having never seen much of the world, hesitated and dared not go up. The leader, not wanting to lose face, raised his stick, shouted, and charged at Huo Junyu!
Huo Junyu nimbly dodged, grabbed the stick with one hand, and swung it hard!
The thug was thrown against the wall like a dog, his head bleeding profusely, and he lay on the ground howling in pain.
The remaining few were so frightened that they ran away in a flash.
The Gu family's driver rushed forward in a panic, worried that something might happen to Gu Zihan, and forcibly dragged her into the car.
The chaos subsided, and the area in front of the small supermarket instantly became quiet.
Jiang Mianmian was stunned, still clutching her phone, unable to dial the police number.
Huo Junyu turned around, expressionless, picked up the mango pomelo sago he hadn't finished drinking, and took a big sip.
The air seemed to freeze, and after a long silence, Jiang Mianmian timidly walked up to him and whispered:
"Thank you."
Huo Junyu was taken aback.
Looking up, something seemed different in those beautiful eyes.
"Uh... it was nothing, you're welcome."
"No, no, I still want to thank you! If it weren't for you today, my family would definitely have suffered again."
"So what do you plan to do?" Huo Junyu asked calmly. "Repay me?"
Jiang Mianmian blushed.
Huo Junyu frowned. "I haven't said anything yet, why are you blushing?"
"you……"
Jiang Mianmian glared at him and bit her lip.
Just then, someone came to buy something, and she turned to the cashier, leaving him with only her slender back view.
Huo Junyu unconsciously curled his lips into a smile.
He liked to tease her, to play pranks on her, and to see her puff up in anger but unable to say a word.
He vaguely recalled a scene from his childhood, where he held the hand of a little girl who was learning to walk and couldn't speak yet. He pinched her face, and she cried out of anger.
That little girl's name is Xiaoyouzi.
If Xiaoyouzi were still alive, she would probably be the same age as Jiang Mianmian this year...
Huo Junyu was momentarily distracted and choked hard on his drink.
After closing time in the evening, Jiang Mianmian locked the supermarket door and went home with Huo Junyu.
The Jiang family members had already gone to bed.
Huo Junyu was about to move the folding bed to the porch when Jiang Mianmian gently stopped him: "Hey..."
"What's wrong?"
"Um...are you hungry?" Jiang Mianmian asked, her head down. "I'll go get you something to eat, then you can eat before you go to sleep."
With that, she turned and went into the kitchen.
Huo Junyu stood alone on the porch. A gentle evening breeze blew by, and the air seemed to be filled with a sweet fragrance.
A short while later, Jiang Mianmian brought out a late-night snack from the kitchen.
Upon smelling the aroma, Huo Junyu's stomach rumbled involuntarily.
"Come and eat quickly!" Jiang Mianmian smiled and handed him the spoon.
The late-night snack was lobster fried rice. Huo Junyu was taken aback for a moment, and then heard Jiang Mianmian explain, "My dad didn't eat the lobster you bought that day; it's been sitting in the refrigerator."
He nodded, scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth, and was a little stunned when he took the first bite.
He never knew anyone could make fried rice so delicious, with lobster meat and garlic flavor, it was incredibly tasty.
"How was it?" Jiang Mianmian asked with a grin.
Huo Junyu gave a muffled "hmm".
A hint of displeasure flashed in the young woman's eyes.
"What do you mean? Doesn't it taste good?"
Huo Junyu didn't answer, but instead showed her by shoveling large mouthfuls of rice into his mouth that the food was incredibly delicious.
Jiang Mianmian pouted, about to say something, when the door to the master bedroom downstairs opened and Su Aiqian walked out yawning.
"Mianmian... what are you doing?"
Su Ai went to the kitchen to take a look.
Upon seeing the room where they had just cooked, and then seeing the plate of fried rice that Huo Junyu was eating, they instantly understood what was going on.
