"Of course, let's find a place to have breakfast first, and then talk while we eat." Huo Shengnian smiled faintly at Su Ruowan.
That smile, though shallow, is very charming.
To Su Ruowan, Huo Shengnian in front of her was like a seductive male vixen.
His appearance just happened to suit her aesthetic taste, even more so than Xie Qinghui's.
Since Huo Shengnian said so, Su Ruowan didn't know what to say.
Su Ruowan turned her head to the window. Otherwise, looking at Huo Shengnian's face and seeing how skillfully and confidently he drove, she would not be able to help but ask him a lot of questions in the car.
Su Ruowan naturally knew the reminder not to chat with the driver.
"Can you ask your boss for leave this morning?" Huo Shengnian asked when he saw that she didn't say anything.
"You need all morning to explain your current situation?"
"The explanation was quick, mainly to answer your questions. I wasn't sure if one morning would be enough. Last night, you refused to come home with me. Otherwise, one night should be enough."
“???”
So, it was still her fault.
He was the one who hid so much from her, okay?
"We're here. Mo Youwei said the food in this tea restaurant is good. I haven't been here yet, so I'll bring you here to try it." Huo Shengnian parked the car on the side of the road.
The two got out of the car, and Su Ruowan subconsciously wanted to go over to help Huo Shengnian. After taking two quick steps, she realized that he had already gotten into the car, so why did he need her support?
What a terrible habit.
The waiter greeted them at the door. Huo Shengnian stood beside Su Ruowan and told the waiter his last name, "My last name is Huo. I made a reservation half an hour ago. For two."
"Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, please come this way." The waiter understood and led the two to the private room booked by Huo Shengnian.
“…”
Su Ruowan remained silent. Huo Shengnian came well prepared.
Su Ruowan was not in the mood to appreciate the decoration of the tea restaurant, but was attracted by the fragrance coming from the kitchen.
She turned her head and looked over. The kitchen was semi-open with a transparent glass partition. The chefs were busy inside, some were busy moving steamers, and others were busy frying and baking.
"How about we go get some food first?" Huo Shengnian suggested when he saw Su Ruowan staring at the kitchen.
Su Ruowan nodded, "Okay."
The waiter smiled and took them over. After the two of them had made their selections, their four hands were not enough, so the waiter helped them take a lot.
The private room Huo Shengnian had booked was on the second floor. The waiter walked in front of him and said, "The dim sum on the second floor will be more exquisite and a little more expensive. Mr. Huo has booked a private room, and our tea restaurant will give you two free servings of tiger skin chicken feet, which is our signature dish."
"Thank you." Huo Shengnian said lightly.
"You're welcome."
The three of them entered the private room, and the waiter put their things down and left.
Only Su Ruowan and Huo Shengnian were left.
Huo Shengnian reached out and handed the crystal shrimp dumplings to Su Ruowan. "This is also the signature snack of this tea restaurant. Try it."
Su Ruowan ate one of them out of courtesy, then put down her chopsticks, "Huo Shengnian, explain."
"Aren't you hungry?" Huo Shengnian raised his eyebrows.
"Don't change the subject. If you don't want to explain to me, then let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau." Su Ruowan didn't want to say the following words, but she couldn't control the impulse, and she always felt that Huo Shengnian wanted to change the subject.
It was fine when I was driving just now, but not now.
"Huh? What are you going to the Civil Affairs Bureau for?" Huo Shengnian's smile froze. After realizing what Su Ruowan wanted to do at the Civil Affairs Bureau, he asked even though he knew the answer.
“…”
Su Ruowan didn't say anything. She still couldn't bring herself to say that she wanted to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce.
She doesn't want a divorce.
It's not because they just got married, but...
But what it was, Su Ruowan didn't dare to think about it. After all, the time was too short. After all, she had just ended one relationship and started another one so quickly. She felt like a scumbag.
"Want to divorce me?" Huo Shengnian said the two words that Su Ruowan couldn't say.
My heart suddenly contracted and beat directly into my throat.
Su Ruowan wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be stuck and she couldn't utter a single note.
But her lips trembled twice.
Suddenly, Su Ruowan's hand on her knee was tightly held by Huo Shengnian.
Compared to her delicate hands, his palms were very big, and his palms were warm and dry. Su Ruwan's heartbeat became more intense in an instant.
Bang, bang, bang—
The noise was so loud that Su Ruowan was very worried that Huo Shengnian would hear it.
"Su Ruowan, it's too late to divorce me. If you had this idea before the trending search, I might have been able to fulfill your wish."
"...What?" Su Ruowan is such a smart and intelligent person, it's rare for her to show such a dull expression.
"The trending search has spread to the imperial capital. Those who are related to me in the imperial capital all know about your existence. So, Mrs. Huo, just stay by my side peacefully and be my wife. I will protect you well."
“…”
"Drink some soy milk. Didn't you drink water this morning? Your lips are dry." Huo Shengnian helped Su Ruowan pour a cup of warm soy milk that could be drunk directly.
Su Ruowan couldn't help swallowing twice, picked up the soy milk in front of her, gulped down several mouthfuls, and then continued to stare at Huo Shengnian blankly.
Is he...really going to tell her everything about him?
Huo Shengnian let go of her hand and poured himself a cup of soy milk. After drinking half of it, he looked at Su Ruowan's bright eyes and put down the cup.
"Now, I'm going to start explaining."
