Chapter 412: The remaining 3,000 words of complaint are left unsaid

[I'll just show you some affection and make you angry to death. 】

"Hey, Si Zhuo needs a lot of emotional value in private. Maybe I was too busy with work today and neglected him. Come on, husband, give him a kiss."

"Shut up!" Huo Ji yelled.

Qiu Manman didn't listen and went to wash her boss herself.

Si Zhuo pressed her down and kissed her lightly again.

Huo Ji clenched his fists, "..." Damn it, I shouldn't have said that.

It seems that their relationship is difficult to separate.

This corner is not easy to dig either.

Huo Ji was only troubled for a short while and quickly adjusted himself.

There is no corner that cannot be dug, only a digging tool that cannot be used properly.

"Ms. Qiu, please consider my feelings as a single person and don't make things difficult for me."

"What would you do if I made things difficult for you?"

Huo Ji said ambiguously, "Of course you can do whatever you want."

【Damn it, tempted me. 】

Si Zhuo: …………

Did he give Qiu Manman too much freedom?

Qiu Manman shook her head and said in a mature tone, "You are almost thirty, right? Still single? There must be something wrong."

"I am proud of being single, Miss Qiu, are you going to laugh at me for never having been in love?"

Qiu Manman was stunned.

[According to the novel's setting, the high-quality male supporting characters are all single and still in their first love before they meet the female lead. Is Huo Ji also taking this path? ]

Si Zhuo opened his lips quietly, "I suggest you check his sexual orientation."

"That makes sense." Qiu Manman blurted out.

The smile on Huo Ji's face suddenly disappeared without a trace.

“My sexual orientation is fine.”

"Okay, okay, if there's nothing, then there's nothing." Qiu Manman followed his words and led him down the stairs.

[You just like men, it has nothing to do with me. ]

Huo Ji had a very bad impression of Si Zhuo, and there was a reason for that.

After all, he is Qiu Manman's current husband, and they are on the same household registration book, and he really doesn't like Si Zhuo.

Especially after Si Zhuo took the lead in doubting his sexual orientation...

"Ms. Qiu, can I add your contact information?"

"Do you have something to discuss?" Qiu Manman was about to show the QR code.

The man next to her leaned towards her, obviously trying to make his presence felt.

Qiu Manman immediately became alert and said, "You can call my husband. He has more connections than me and can handle problems much faster."

"Okay, I wanted to talk to you about a profitable deal, but only with you. Since I can't even get your contact information, it seems like we're not destined to make money."

Qiu Manman spoke each word in a sonorous voice, "Hello, this is my social account, this is my personal mobile number, this is my Douban account, this is my Douyin account..."

"???"

“…”

Huo Ji smiled broadly, his smile full of provocation.

"You can add them all? I'm a little flattered." Huo Ji was decisive and added them all.

Si Zhuo stepped forward to stop him.

Qiu Manman saw his frozen hand and slowly pressed it down, "It's all for work."

"Mr. Si shouldn't be so suspicious. Who are you and who am I? You are her husband and I am just an outsider." Huo Ji happily put away his phone.

Qiu Manman nodded in agreement.

Si Zhuo sneered, "Every marriage has its own divorce. It's normal for me to be suspicious when I meet Qiu Manman in this life."

Qiu Manman nodded in agreement again, realizing that these words were meant to elevate herself.

It's just short of saying that she is charming.

"It's really just work, don't think too much about it."

Huo Ji: "Wait for my news, I will contact you in two days."

Qiu Manman hinted, "Master Huo doesn't care about small money. Just for this reason, I will definitely not cooperate with you."

"As long as certain people don't do tricks behind your back, you can make a lot of money." Huo Ji said meaningfully.

【Whoever dares to stand in my way to wealth, I will kill him. 】

Si Zhuo's greatest tolerance was to send Huo Ji to the city.

Huo Ji was kicked off the car.

Qiu Manman showed a sympathetic look, "Young Master, see you later."

"Your husband has a bad temper."

Huo Ji looked unhappy.

Qiu Manman sighed, "Yeah, what can I do? How can I leave?"

Huo Ji's mouth opened and closed as the car started. Qiu Manman could no longer hear what he said. The figure in her sight became farther and farther away until it turned into a black dot.

Si Zhuo stared at the back of her head, "Qiu Manman, do you like chatting with him?"

"It's unfair, husband." Qiu Manman hugged his arm and shouted that it was unfair.

Si Zhuo: "You two chatted a total of 123 sentences along the way."

【Who taught you to count like this? 】

"Yawn~" Qiu Manman yawned and closed her eyes.

Si Zhuo didn't want to let this matter go so easily.

"What Xiao Liu said is true. He has ulterior motives towards you. Huo Miao is a scheming man and a good brother. Aren't you afraid of losing all your money if you negotiate a deal with him?" Si Zhuo analyzed patiently.

Qiu Manman said nothing.

Si Zhuo: ...

What does she mean?

Too lazy to communicate?

You wouldn't even believe me when I say there's sunshine at night?

"Huo Ji doesn't look like he would do that."

As soon as Qiu Manman said this, she felt the temperature around her drop.

It's so terrifying, this is definitely not a human-shaped refrigerator.

If nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected happens.

Si Zhuo's displeasure has serious consequences.

Qiu Manman smiled and said, "He hasn't cooperated yet. Let me give him a try."

"I can give you some reference."

"good."

[I'm not sure, you could kill me. ]

Si Zhuo raised his eyebrows calmly.

…

Ka Shui Bay.

As soon as the car stopped, Qiu Manman walked in happily.

"Sister, you're back too late. What were you busy with?"

Pei Yi's voice was heard. Qiu Manman looked in the direction of the voice and saw that there was not only Pei Yi in the living room, but also Yu Jiyue and Yu Shu.

What a coincidence.

How come they are all here?

"Good evening." Qiu Manman wondered, "At this hour, why are you here instead of lying in bed and indulging in the Internet?"

Pei Yi said without hesitation: "Those things are not as attractive as you."

【Hahahaha, what a sweet mouth.】

Si Zhuo's eyes swept over fiercely.

Qiu Manman's breathing stagnated, "What?"

[It's very annoying, as if he caught me having an affair right in front of him. ]

Yu Jiyue spoke gently, "I have some questions about decoration and want to talk to you about it."

"Decoration? I don't understand either." Qiu Manman started to feel greedy and took out some snacks to eat.

Yu Jiyue: "I trust your aesthetics. Don't worry. Just help me pick a design."

"Then let's take a look at them together?"

When the tablet was handed to Qiu Manman, there were many different designs, each of which had its own characteristics.

Qiu Manman never worried about decoration.

From the perspective of design aesthetics alone, she chose the third option.

“This design is more durable.”

"I don't like the design of the third floor. Ask the designer to modify it and add floor-to-ceiling windows, otherwise I won't agree." Pei Yi's head popped out from behind, his voice slightly worried.

Qiu Manman said without even turning her head: "I'm not letting you stay here, what do I need you to agree to?"

“…”

“…”

The air suddenly fell silent.

Yu Jiyue pursed her lips and thought, you know what I meant!

Pei Yi realized it later, but his expression remained calm, "Is it not okay to just say it casually?"

"Or, let's change the floor-to-ceiling windows on the third floor." Yu Jiyue was reluctant to respect Pei Yi's opinion.

Qiu Manman: "Aunt, you actually listened to Pei Yi?"

"Hey, this, this, this, how can you say that I listened to him? It was obviously... just for reference." It was not appropriate for Qiu Manman to know the truth at this time, so Yu Jiyue explained stumblingly.

Pei Yi: "Don't have an open kitchen on the first floor. I don't like it either."

"I want it." Yu Shu joined the discussion.

Yu Jiyue held his chin in his hand and thought deeply, "My suggestion is, don't do it."

Qiu Manman looked at the three of them.

[I thought you three were going to live together. You are so sincere.]

Si Zhuo who was standing next to him was startled by this sentence and his black eyes narrowed.

"Pei Yi is still a child. His aesthetics are not important to you at all."

Pei Yi's words "I'll pay too" were stuck in his throat.

Yu Shu: "My cousin is right."

"How about..." Qiu Manman said weakly, "Let's decide it with a fist?"

Yu Shu and Yu Jiyue accepted Qiu Manman's suggestion, but the result was rock-paper-scissors, a weird draw.

Pei Yi opened his palm, which was covered with cloth, and said, "Whoever sees it shall have a share."

[Brother, your presence is a bit too strong. 】

"You haven't bought a house in Beijing yet? Why don't you buy one and build one yourself without an open kitchen?"

Qiu Manman thought her proposal was great.

Pei Yi stood up and said, "I haven't met anyone suitable. How about you help me pick one, sister?"

“…”

The boy is digging a hole again.

Qiu Manman has already understood it.

Yu Jiyue was afraid that if she continued, Pei Yi would seize the initiative, so she immediately avoided the question and said, "He is still a child, just let him do what he wants."

“Based on what?” A few black lines slid down Yu Shu’s forehead.

"Why would you get angry with the kid? I've run into Pei Yi more often recently, and I've found that he and I get along pretty well. I really want him to be my godson."

Yu Jiyue said casually.

Pei Yi was frightened, "Ms. Yu, I have no interest in being your son."

"If you are willing to be my godson, I can arrange a bedroom for you on the third floor. Wouldn't it be nice to come and visit your godmother more often when you are free?" Yu Jiyue put her hand on his shoulder and started to discuss.

Yu Shuhun felt very cold.

Just think of it as it comes.

This was not communicated in advance.

No! Yu Shu's eyes gradually became clear, but his mind was still confused.

Now that she thought about it, Pei Yi was her younger brother.

Not only that, in another sense, he is also Si Zhuo's cousin.

Yu Shu raised the corners of her lips in delight, "Hello, Brother Pei Yi. Come on, call me sister."

Pei Yi: “…”

"By the way, call Si Zhuo again. He will be your cousin in the future. It will be great to have such a cousin to protect you in Beijing."

Si Zhuo coughed lightly.

Qiu Manman also started to think about it, and then laughed, "Then you want to call me cousin?"

Pei Yi's face darkened. "I feel the greatest malice in the world."

Yu Jiyue: "Ah, it seems I'm not working hard enough. Pei Yi, I must make you willing to be my godson."

“………………”

Pei Yi didn't give in. Only a fool would agree.

Qiu Manman had selected a design plan for Yu Jiyue, and there were few places that needed to be modified. Just as she was about to exit out of habit, she unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a familiar name.

The name of the community is Nanshan Maple Forest.

It is right next to Jiashui Bay, not far away, just a few minutes' walk.

"Aunt, did you buy it at Nanshan Maple Grove?"

"Yes." Yu Jiyue nodded.

"It's close, so I can go to my aunt's house for meals in the future." Qiu Manman was happy.

Yu Jiyue is a good cook. There are many advantages to living close to the elders.

It’s a blessing to be able to eat there every day.

"Manman, I'm planning to arrange a room here for you and your wife. Not only should your family live close to each other, but they should also live together." Yu Jiyue and Xi Chongqiu smiled.

Qiu Manman found it difficult to refuse, so she agreed without hesitation.

Si Zhuo: "Then it's on the third floor."

"No!" Pei Yi refused coldly.

Yu Jiyue: "I thought Yu Shu would disagree, but I didn't expect it would be you. Manman is living with us, and you're not happy?"

"Why do you think I'm unhappy?" Pei Yi asked back with gritted teeth.

As a man himself, Si Zhuo understands.

Qiu Manman can live there, but he can't.

From Pei Yi's reaction, Si Zhuo confirmed that there was something between Pei Yi and his aunt.

"It's alright, Manman. Auntie, I need to have a good talk with this future godson. It's getting late, so let's go back first."

Yu Jiyue tries to drag Pei Yi away.

Pei Yi: “I’m not leaving.” (The remaining three thousand words of complaint were left unsaid)

Yu Jiyue: "She's just a kid, why would she have such a bad temper?"

Pei Yi: "Don't force me. I don't really want to play the role of an emotionally stable adult."

"Then I don't want to play the role of an emotionally unstable godmother. It would be bad if it got out."

Even though Pei Yi didn't want to leave, he was still dragged away by Yu Jiyue and Yu Shu.

Without them, Jiashui Bay soon became quiet.

A few days later.

Xiao Liu sent Qiu Manman a location sharing message, and the address was Huo's house.

It’s the Huo family again.

Some don't know whether they should go.

Qiu Manman was hesitating, but Xiao Liu could see through her thoughts through the screen and sent her a red envelope.

"What's our relationship? Why are you being so polite to send me a red envelope? I'll be there right away."

It took a full forty-five minutes to reach the Huo family.

The Huo family's housekeeper was waiting in front of the gate. When he saw Qiu Manman coming, he greeted her with a smile.

"Miss Qiu, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you're finally here."

"I have a question, has Xiao Liu been living in the Huo family in recent days?" Qiu Manman hadn't received any message from Xiao Liu for many days.

Until today, the first thing they contacted her was to ask her to come to the Huo family.

Did he get bullied by the Huo family?

Or maybe Mrs. Huo locked her up in the Huo family to foster her relationship with Huo Miao. If this was the case, it would be exactly what Xiao Liu wanted.

Housekeeper: "Yes, things have been very chaotic in the Huo family recently."

"How do you know?"

"Xiao Liu has a good relationship with you, but do you know that her mental state has always been very unstable? The Second Young Master has a mild temper, but she always forces him to fight with her."

"Is that so?" Qiu Manman nodded thoughtfully.

She suddenly became curious about what kind of person Huo Miao would become under Xiao Liu's training.

Entering the Huo family's living room, a tall man walked over through the screen.

——Huo Ji.

"Surprisingly, Young Master, you haven't been kicked out of the Huo family yet?" Qiu Manman took a step in front of Huo Ji.

Xiao Liu hurried downstairs, holding Qiu Manman's wrist and walking upstairs, "I'll borrow you first, and I'll give you two some alone time later."

"???"
