"Walk?"
Huo Mingchen took Cheng Shanshan's hand, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Where would you like to go on our wedding night?"
Cheng Shanshan looked at Huo Mingchen with some dissatisfaction: "I think you've misunderstood. The person you spent your wedding night with is in the next room. If you need anything, please climb over the wall yourself."
"Alright, stop fooling around." Huo Mingchen said as he pressed her down in front of the table and pointed to the food on the table: "Even if you don't give me face, you can't waste food, can you?"
On the table were Longjing shrimp, poached chicken, crispy pork, lotus root and pork rib soup, as well as several plates of cold dishes and desserts. Just by looking at them, you could tell they tasted good.
Cheng Shanshan survived ten years of famine, and even after so long, her body still has an instinctive reaction to food, especially since these are all foods she really loves to eat.
Since she was hungry anyway, she simply picked up her chopsticks: "Looks like today's event wasn't just about snatching the bride, but also about stealing a whole table of food." The thought that Liu Liu and he should have eaten this together made her inexplicably annoyed.
Seeing this, Huo Mingchen smiled helplessly and put a piece of food on Cheng Shanshan's plate: "Shanshan, even if you hadn't come today, I would have come to find you, but I'm naturally even happier that you came."
Cheng Shanshan snorted coldly: "Looking for me? Is a married man trying to climb over the wall?"
Huo Mingchen raised an eyebrow: "So you admit you're my wall?"
"...You're focusing on the wrong thing."
As Cheng Shanshan spoke, she rolled her eyes at him: "Don't forget that you asked Liu Liu to tell me that we were breaking off our relationship. No, we didn't have any special relationship before."
She just wanted to eat quickly and leave as soon as she finished.
I don't want to waste any more time here and make myself feel frustrated.
Looking at her, Huo Mingchen couldn't help but laugh: "I have to say, you can get really jealous." Making trouble and trying to steal the bride—only Cheng Shanshan would do that.
Cheng Shanshan was dissatisfied with his choice of words: "Hey Huo, aren't you being too arrogant?"
"Sigh, he used to be called Brother Huo, but now he's just called Huo." Huo Mingchen said with a feigned sigh, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Cheng Shanshan: "But, aren't you being a little unreasonable, girl? After all, you were the one who distanced yourself from me first."
Thinking about Cheng Shanshan's indifference towards him that day, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Cheng Shanshan didn't offer any explanation, focusing solely on her meal. Only after devouring the food did she put down her chopsticks with satisfaction, get up, and walk out.
Huo Mingchen quickly blocked her path and explained, "I know you didn't want to put me in a difficult position that day. I didn't do that to follow your plan. Can you please stop being angry?"
"You're still following my plan? Did I let you sleep with Liu Liu?"
"I don't."
Huo Mingchen quickly recounted the events of that day from beginning to end.
That day, it was Liu Liu who approached him, saying that the Ye family could help him succeed to the position of prefect more smoothly.
He was initially unwilling, but when he learned that Liu Liu had not only hired an assassin but also poisoned Cheng Shanshan, he disregarded all morality and ethics: "If you hadn't come today, I certainly wouldn't have shown up."
Cheng Shanshan gave him a cold look in response: "What does it matter to me whether you show up or not? I'm only here to annoy Liu Liu, so please don't block my way... Huh?!"
Suddenly, he leaned down and kissed her.
The raging storm swept over her, silencing all her next words.
With a dizzying sensation, she became extremely stiff. It wasn't until she was forcefully pushed back into the house and the door was closed that she suddenly came to her senses and raised her hand to strike!
Unfortunately, Huo Mingchen showed no intention of letting go of her and continued to relentlessly demand from her, leaving her no choice but to bite him hard!
The taste of blood immediately filled my mouth...
At the same time, Huo Mingchen finally released her, and she immediately shouted angrily, "You surnamed Huo, do you want to die?"
"This little injury won't kill me, and besides, I just married a wife and I don't want to die." Huo Mingchen wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, then moved closer to her again: "I think you don't want to be a widow either."
"...Shut up."
When Cheng Shanshan first saw Huo Mingchen's shameless side, she found herself unable to argue with him.
"Alright, don't be angry anymore." Huo Mingchen leaned down close to Cheng Shanshan, then closed his eyes: "How about I let you take another bite?"
"good."
Just one word.
Cheng Shanshan then casually picked up a stick from the side!
With a loud thud, Huo Mingchen was lying on the ground. She then put her hands on her hips with satisfaction: "One bite isn't enough. Someone as vengeful as me usually retaliates tenfold." After saying that, she threw away the wooden stick she had picked up and turned to walk out.
But she stopped when she reached the door.
Looking back at the motionless Huo Mingchen, she frowned: "Won't he catch a cold?"
Fine, I'll play the good guy for once.
Huo Mingchen was tall with long legs, and although he didn't look fat, he had a lot of muscles. Moving him from the ground by the door to the bed ten meters away was a challenge for her.
Hugging is impossible.
Pulling is too much effort, so how about... we roll it?
As she thought about it, she stepped forward and kicked him hard. After he rolled over, she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she saw Huo Mingchen's brows seem to furrow slightly.
So she quickly stepped forward and poked him: "Hey, Huo Mingchen, Brother Huo, Ancestor Huo, if you're awake, open your eyes quickly so I don't have to bother."
"Otherwise, I won't be angry anymore once you wake up."
"Are we even?"
"..."
Huo Mingchen kept his eyes tightly closed and remained motionless.
So he's not awake yet, right?
Cheng Shanshan didn't want to waste any more time, so she kicked him a few more times until he rolled to the edge of the bed. However, getting him from the floor to the bed became another problem.
After thinking for a long time without success, she could only take the blanket off him and cover him with it before clapping her hands in satisfaction: "Okay, now you won't catch a cold."
As for whether it's internal injury or not, it seems unimportant.
After all this turmoil, Cheng Shanshan's resentment gradually subsided.
However, she was a little lost in thought as she looked at Huo Mingchen on the ground. She felt like she had overreacted. After all, what did it matter to her who he married?
To be frank, the two of them were nothing more than companions from beginning to end.
Was she wrong?
Or was she really smitten?
When this last idea came to her, she was quite surprised.
Does she like Huo Mingchen?
How could that be!
Yes, no... that's probably impossible, isn't it?
Cheng Shanshan sat down next to him and couldn't help but ask softly, "Shouldn't you men like the kind who are gentle, weak, and can cry and act cute? Why do you like me?"
