Chapter 21 Have You Forgotten Something?
Huo Yunting glanced at her calmly, thinking that she was trying to avoid him. When he saw her evasive gaze, he became more certain.
Before she married him, her family members all died of illness. After that, she and Pei Fuyan stayed together and finally broke up peacefully.
It was said to be a peaceful breakup, but in fact it was abandonment.
Pei Fuyan was an illegitimate child. When he first returned to the Pei family, his position was unstable. Fearing that Pei Fuyan would drag him down, he abandoned her during her most difficult time. Until recently, he had grown stronger and "came alive" in front of Shen Nanxing again.
Huo Yunting continued to inquire, "Is there anything over there that you particularly miss? Or even people?"
I always feel like there's something else behind his words.
Ana Shen frowned, "I'm a person who goes with the flow. I don't hold grudges, so I can adapt quickly to any place."
She practically looked at him as she spoke.
But his worried expression seemed as if he was still thinking about something.
The next second, he really started asking something else. "Actually, I heard about that place when I was very young. It wasn't as poor as it is now. You're a local, so I'm curious about what happened there."
He looked at her with burning eyes, not knowing what he wanted to find out or what he wanted to get from her.
She quickly avoided his gaze. Huo Yunting was a man of great scheming, and he wouldn't ask this for no reason. She pretended to be calm and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"Nothing, just asking."
Hearing this, Ana Shen’s eyelashes drooped slightly, that’s the best.
"Give me."
"What?"
"cell phone!"
Ana Shen obediently gave him the phone, and he was used to her being well-behaved.
Huo Yunting poked and tapped at the screen, but as time went on, his expression seemed to become less positive.
I guess he saw the three-digit deposit in her phone.
After a long while, Huo Yunting returned the item to its original owner. He said with some guilt in his voice, "I've bound a secondary card for you. It has an unlimited credit limit."
So he finally realized that in the three years of marriage, apart from the basic necessities of life, she had not spent a penny of the Huo family's money?
He didn't give it to her earlier or later, but instead issued the card for her after she found a job. His intentions were obvious.
Ana Shen no longer needed his money, but it was difficult to refuse openly, so she had to say thank you.
"There's no need to be so polite between you and me."
She pursed her lips and finally squeezed out only one word, "Yeah."
“…”
Huo Yunting was a little surprised that she was talking less and less now.
Didn't she used to be able to follow him and talk for the whole day?
He was not used to her being so taciturn.
They remained silent in the car.
Suddenly, Ana Shen’s cell phone rang.
She looked away from Huo Yunting and saw that it was Chen Guangyuan's.
“Hey…” Ana Shen didn’t even dare to shout out the word “Mr. Chen” in front of Huo Yunting.
If he found out that I was secretly looking for a job, the consequences would be disastrous.
"I almost forgot to tell you that I'll be starting work in three days."
After hanging up the phone, Ana Shen noticed that Huo Yunting gave her a meaningful look.
"What phone call?"
"Telemarketing call."
Before he finished speaking, Ana Shen leaned back by inertia, and he stepped on the accelerator without any warning.
It was supposed to be an hour's journey, but it ended up taking only half an hour.
After entering the underground garage, the car door was still locked.
In the narrow space, the distance between the two was less than half a meter.
The atmosphere became increasingly weird, and with the air conditioner turned to the lowest setting, Ana Shen felt a chill down her spine.
"Have you forgotten something?" He suddenly broke the silence, his angular face now filled with suffocating gloom and coldness.
