Chapter 37: Righteousness
Chi Muzhen looked indifferent, "I have nothing to talk to you about."
"If you're still angry about what happened last time, I can apologize to you. It was indeed my fault last time."
Chi Muzhen looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect that he would actually apologize.
"If this is about this, I have received your apology. Can I leave now?"
Huo Yunting's eyes darkened, and he whispered, "You're still angry."
Chi Muzhen was somewhat helpless. "Since you have already apologized, whether I am angry or not is my own business. It seems to have nothing to do with you."
After saying that, Chi Muzhen backed up the car and passed Huo Yunting and left.
From that day on, Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting never met again. Sometimes, one could see Huo Yunting accompanying Chi Xuan to events in entertainment magazines.
Chi Muzhen glanced at him lightly, then looked away calmly, showing no concern.
Half a month later.
On Friday night, Chi Muzhen returned to the villa after working overtime at around ten o'clock.
She had just finished her shower and was about to read a book before going to bed when the doorbell suddenly rang.
When she walked to the door and saw Huo Yunting through the peephole, she frowned.
She gathered her nightgown, opened the door and looked at Huo Yunting indifferently. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly smelled alcohol.
"Have you been drinking?"
Huo Yunting's expression was still clear, but there was already a hint of drunkenness in his eyes.
"Chi Muzhen, do you remember what day it is today?"
Chi Muzhen thought for a while before she suddenly remembered that today seemed to be their third wedding anniversary.
The company has been very busy recently, and I haven't paid much attention to this matter, so I've put it out of my mind a long time ago.
She pursed her lips, impatience flashing in her eyes, "If you just want to talk nonsense, you can leave now. I want to rest."
Huo Yunting leaned against the door, looking at her with a cold gaze, "Do you know that today is our wedding anniversary?"
Chi Muzhen frowned, "So what? You never cared anyway, so why bother coming here to pretend to be affectionate now?"
Huo Yunting was not angry, but laughed softly twice.
"I prepared a gift for you, what about you?"
"I don't need your gift, please go away..."
Before he could finish his words, his waist was suddenly grabbed.
The next second, Huo Yunting's tall figure pressed down.
It was not until she felt the warm touch on her lips that Chi Muzhen reacted and pushed Huo Yunting away.
"Huo Yunting, are you sick?"
She raised her hand to wipe her lips, but she didn't know that her action angered Huo Yunting. He grabbed her wrist and the next second, she was pressed against the wall.
Chi Muzhen wanted to struggle as the kisses came down all over her, but was suppressed by Huo Yunting.
She was filled with anger and bit Huo Yunting hard, and both of their mouths were immediately filled with the taste of blood.
Huo Yunting let her go, looked down at her, and whispered, "Since you didn't prepare a gift for me, this kiss will be my compensation."
"Neuropathy!"
Chi Muzhen was about to push him away when she suddenly felt a chill on her neck.
She reached out and touched it, and found it was a necklace. She frowned and was about to take it off, but Huo Yunting held her hand first.
"If you dare to take it off, I will continue to kiss you forcefully."
Chi Muzhen didn't move, but looked at Huo Yunting with an extremely cold gaze, "Huo Yunting, did you drink fake wine?!"
Otherwise, tonight wouldn’t be so abnormal!
Huo Yunting grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.
"Even if you are really angry, isn't this long enough?"
Chi Muzhen pushed him away, looked at him coldly and said, "Huo Yunting, I'm not angry with you, I just simply don't want to stay in the same space with you."
Huo Yunting's eyes were filled with coldness. He didn't expect that even though he had been so humble to please her, Chi Muzhen still treated him like this.
"Chi Muzhen, no matter what, you must go back with me tonight!"
He hadn't come to see her during this period because he wanted to give her time to calm down, but he didn't expect that calming down would lead to this result!
It seems that he really can't be too nice to her!
Chi Muzhen sneered, "Who do you think you are? I won't go back!"
Since we have already fallen out last time, why should we continue to gloss over the situation?
"It's not up to you whether you go back or not!"
Huo Yunting grabbed Chi Muzhen's hand and walked straight out. After taking two steps, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and then his vision went black and he fainted.
Chi Muzhen called Ke Ning and asked him to pick up Huo Yunting. She took off the necklace from her neck and threw it at him, then turned around and closed the door of the villa without hesitation.
Half an hour later, the sound of a car engine was heard outside.
Chi Muzhen lifted a corner of the curtain and took a look. Ke Ning got out of the car and quickly helped Huo Yunting leave.
Huo Yunting woke up as soon as he returned to the villa.
The pain in his neck made him frown unconsciously. He looked at Ke Ning standing beside him and asked, "What's going on? Why am I here?!"
Ke Ning glanced at Huo Yunting with some sympathy, lowered his head and spoke cautiously, "Mr. Huo, have you forgotten that you went to see Miss Chi and was knocked unconscious by her?"
Huo Yunting's face suddenly turned dark, but the next second when he saw the necklace handed to him by Ke Ning, his face became even uglier.
"Boss Huo, this is what I saw next to you when I came to pick you up..."
Anger flashed in Huo Yunting's eyes, and he said coldly: "I'll give it to you."
Ke Ning knew that he was angry, so he didn't say anything. He quietly put the necklace away and planned to give it to him after Huo Yunting calmed down.
This was the wedding anniversary gift Huo Yunting prepared for Chi Muzhen, but he didn't dare to accept it.
Seeing Ke Ning remained silent, Huo Yunting gave him a cold look and said, "You can go back now."
"Okay, Mr. Huo, if you have any questions, please feel free to call me."
After Koning left, the living room became quiet.
Huo Yunting pinched his brows and felt that he must be crazy to go to Chi Muzhen today.
Thinking of the disgust in Chi Muzhen's eyes and how she knocked him out without mercy, Huo Yunting felt a surge of anger in his heart with nowhere to vent.
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
The cell phone suddenly rang.
When he saw that it was Liang Zixuan, a hint of surprise flashed in Huo Yunting's eyes.
"What's up?"
Liang Zixuan coughed lightly and said, "Yun Ting, didn't you and Jin Yi have a disagreement because of Bai Xue Ning?"
Huo Yunting frowned, his tone becoming colder, "What's wrong?"
"After Yunzhe and I found out about this, we scolded Jin Yi. He knew it was his fault, so he decided to invite us to the Jin family's soon-to-open resort. He also wanted to ease the relationship with you. You see..."
Before he could finish his words, Huo Yunting interrupted him coldly, "I'm busy."
"Wait for me to finish what I'm saying! Besides you, Jin Yi also plans to invite Chi Muzhen to join him. If you don't go, Chi Muzhen will definitely not go either."
Thinking of Chi Muzhen's attitude towards him tonight, Huo Yunting's eyes turned cold.
"Whether or not I can invite her is Jin Yi's business, and has nothing to do with me!"
Liang Zixuan wanted to say something, but the person on the other end had already hung up the phone.
Seeing Liang Zixuan put down his phone, Jin Yi quickly asked, "How is it? Did Yun Ting agree?"
"No, probably still angry about what happened before."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Jin Yi's eyes, and he suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go and apologize to him in person!"
Liang Zixuan quickly pulled him back and said, "Why are you so anxious? This matter is not without a solution. Yun Ting listens to Old Madam Huo the most. Besides, I heard that Chi Muzhen and Old Madam Huo have a good relationship. Maybe we can find a solution from Old Madam Huo."
Bai Xue Ning, who was standing by, saw the two of them whispering, and a look of resentment and anger flashed in her eyes. She had suffered such a great humiliation, but now Jin Yi still had to please Huo Yunting and Chi Muzhen!
no!
She couldn't let Chi Muzhen be so proud!
She picked up her phone and sent a text message to Chi Xuan with a sneer.
