Hu Yuan was completely stunned when he saw the slight smile on the face of the woman in front of him, who had no makeup on.
Having seen countless women in his past life, he suddenly realized that none of the beautiful women he had ever met were as captivating as Wang Man at this moment.
It's like a goddess descending to earth!
Noticing Hu Yuan's blank stare, Wang Man immediately became alert again.
With her smile fading, Wang Man glared at him fiercely before walking over with two empty bowls.
"Get out of the way..." Wang Man walked over and pushed Hu Yuan away from the edge of the pool.
What she didn't know was that, in Hu Yuan's eyes, this eye roll was even more charming than her previous smile, and he was momentarily captivated by it.
"Cough cough..." But Hu Yuan quickly regained his senses, cleared his throat, and then hurriedly said, "Well, you go ahead and do your work, I'm going out..."
After saying this, Hu Yuan turned and left the kitchen.
Hearing Hu Yuanyuan's departing footsteps, Wang Man subconsciously turned her head to look at his back.
Upon seeing Hu Yuanzhen, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even she herself didn't realize that her relationship with Hu Yuan, and her feelings for him, had begun to slowly change.
Normally, Wang Man would never show such affection to Hu Yuan; most of the time, she remained silent...
"Tuantuan, what are you playing?"
Hu Yuan, who came out of the kitchen, saw Tuan Tuan sitting on a chair, holding her ugly doll and talking to herself. He walked over and asked with a smile.
Although Tuantuan mustered up the courage to say a few words to Hu Yuan when rescuing Wang Man, she was actually still very afraid of him deep down.
The shadow of being beaten in the past will not be so easily erased from the little boy's heart.
Therefore, when Hu Yuan asked her with a smile, Tuan Tuan's expression became tense again.
"Uncle, I, I... I'll give you the doll, please don't hit Tuantuan, okay..." Tuantuan timidly raised the ugly doll in her hand and said weakly.
Seeing Tuantuan's pitiful appearance, Hu Yuan's heart softened considerably.
"Qianqian, she really looks just like you when you were little..." Hu Yuan murmured to himself, a ripple of emotion stirring within him.
Qianqian was the name of Hu Yuan's younger sister in his previous life, the girl who had been his only companion for a long time and whom he could not let go of.
He shook his head with a smile, then squatted down next to Tuantuan.
Reaching out to stroke Tuan Tuan's dry, yellow hair, Hu Yuan said softly, "Uncle doesn't want your doll anymore, and I won't hit you again..."
Hearing Hu Yuan's words, Tuantuan's eyes widened in surprise, and then she asked incredulously, "Uncle... are you serious? You really don't want Tuantuan's doll anymore, and you won't hit Tuantuan anymore?"
"Of course it's true! Uncle won't hit Tuantuan anymore, and he won't lie to Tuantuan either. If you don't believe me, let's pinky swear!"
Hu Yuan's gentle demeanor finally eased Tuantuan's inner tension and struggle, and she happily said, "As long as you don't hit me anymore, Uncle, I'm willing to be your friend..."
Then Tuantuan stretched out her little finger and held hands with Hu Yuan's big hand.
"Pinky promise, a hundred years from now..."
"Hu Yuan! What do you want to do!" Just as the two made their pinky promise, Wang Man screamed and rushed over.
In a panic, Wang Man pulled Tuantuan into her arms and hugged her tightly, while frantically shouting at Hu Yuan, "Hu Yuan, are you crazy?! What do you want to do?!"
"ah?"
Hu Yuan was completely baffled by Wang Man's reaction. He had simply played with Tuantuan for a while and made a pinky promise, so why was she acting like she'd gone mad?
"I'm telling you, Hu Yuan! Don't even think about selling Tuantuan again! If you dare to do it again, I'll call the police right now! I... I'll take you with me even if I die!" The crazed Wang Man roared at Hu Yuan like a fierce lioness protecting her cubs.
Since marrying Hu Yuan, Wang Man has always been gentle and mild-mannered, and has never uttered any harsh words.
Today, in the abandoned factory, a desperate Wang Man unleashed her long-suppressed emotions for the first time, completely abandoning her usual docile demeanor.
This was the second time she had roared at Hu Yuan.
Unlike before, her expression was now full of determination, like a knife staring at Hu Yuan, full of threat, as if telling him, "If you dare to mess around, I will definitely do what I say."
At this moment, Hu Yuan began to understand why Wang Man was acting this way.
It must be that the predecessor had taken similar actions, trying to sell Tuantuan, which provoked Wang Man.
"You really are a piece of trash!" Hu Yuan sighed helplessly in his heart, shook his head with a wry smile, and really didn't know how to explain it to Gai.
Wang Man ignored Hu Yuan and squatted down to say to Tuantuan, "Mommy will change her clothes first. Tuantuan, wait a moment. Mommy will take you to the factory in a bit. If this person dares to take Tuantuan away again, shout 'Mommy!' loudly, understand?"
As Wang Man spoke to Tuan Tuan, she glanced sideways at Hu Yuan.
At this moment, Tuantuan felt no fear at all, but simply nodded in a cute and innocent way.
While keeping an eye on Hu Yuan, Wang Man pulled Tuan Tuan aside and then turned around to go back to her room to change her clothes.
He opened the old, worn-out wardrobe in the room and took out his work clothes from the factory.
Looking at the few old clothes in the closet, Wang Man's eyes stung, and she almost burst into tears.
Apart from the work uniform in her hand, all the other clothes she wore were the ones that came with her dowry when she got married three years ago. In the past few years, she hasn't bought any clothes, let alone a new pair of socks.
