Chapter 40 [1, 2, 3 updates]
His expression was blank.
For a long time, he didn't even react to what Shen Yuntang said. He only heard Huo Xihuai taking a breath behind him.
Behind him, his brother quickly took out his headphones and put them on, then he opened the word memorization interface, concentrated on reciting silently, and tried his best to reduce his presence.
After a while, Huo Yuyan smiled stiffly in silence, his mouth and eyes still, "Intentionally?"
He blinked and stopped smiling: "How could I do it on purpose? I'm just a friend who can't refuse my kindness. I came here to watch a movie and learn about educational methods. I don't know what made you interpret me in such an excessive way-"
"Oh." Shen Yuntang propped up his chin, glanced at the end credits, turned his gaze back and said, "Learn from the cheating father to give Huo Xihuai a stimulus?"
Huo Xihuai behind him almost dropped his phone.
Huo Yuyan was stunned for a moment.
He opened his mouth, hesitating for a long while, and finally interrupted his silence by clearing his throat. He turned back, straightened his clothes as if he was feeling uncomfortable, and stared at the big screen, saying:
"I found out where our family problems lie, Shen Yuntang. I think you may have some prejudices and misunderstandings about me, but I am a person of relatively high moral character—"
Shen Yuntang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We are in a marriage agreement. You can make whatever you want."
Huo Yuyan's voice was filled with patience: "...I have my own persistence in moral character--"
Shen Yuntang turned back to watch the ending of the film and said lazily, "I don't care, just go ahead."
Huo Yuyan was furious. He immediately used his dignity as the head of the family to confront Shen Yuntang: "...I won't!"
He continued: "Shen Yuntang, don't think you can boss me around!"
He even laughed, "I am dying of laughter, do you think whatever you say is the truth? I won't!"
When he noticed that Shen Yuntang turned around and looked at him with eyes full of "seeing through" and "contempt", Huo Yuyan paused and his arrogance suddenly weakened.
He opened his mouth and closed it again.
After a while, he slowly turned his head back.
Not sure if he heard it wrong, but he heard Shen Yuntang sneer and say in a low voice: "Coward."
Huo Yuyan was silent.
He began to reflect.
What's so shameful about this?
As a husband, he wants to advance his relationship with his wife and get to know each other better. What's shameful about that?
He is not a wild man out there, he always has reasons and evidence.
What are you afraid of?
So, the ending song was almost over when Shen Yuntang heard him suddenly say, "Yes."
Huo Yuyan said: "I did it on purpose."
He stared at the screen, which had nothing to play, and his lips moved, which made Shen Yuntang stunned for a moment.
She looked over and thought that Huo Yuyan had suddenly become quite frank. Looking at his calm expression, he seemed like a different person.
It was not until the lights came on that she saw Huo Yuyan's hands, veins bulging, clinging to the handrail.
…
She just knew it.
Shen Yuntang suddenly laughed. No one knew what had touched her funny bone, but she laughed so hard that Huo Xihuai was so scared that he was about to squat down and quietly leave his seat. Huo Yuyan then quickly glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, then quickly retracted it.
He looked ahead, tightened his grip again, and said angrily, "What are you laughing at?"
Shen Yuntang was still laughing, as if he couldn't stop. Huo Yuyan became even more angry. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he heard Shen Yuntang say before he could get up: "Why did you deliberately come out with me to watch a movie?"
Her voice was much calmer than Huo Yuyan's, as if she was watching a play.
The one being watched was not in such a good mood. He felt a lump in his heart and said with his jaw clenched, "Didn't you say that I don't understand you?"
"So, what does this have to do with watching a movie?"
Huo Yuyan said without thinking: "How can I understand you if I don't spend more time with you?"
After he finished speaking, he paused and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Huo Yuyan didn't want to tell her anymore. It was embarrassing enough. He held his breath and stood up. Just as he took half a step, Shen Yuntang lazily said behind him: "Why don't you think about why you want to know me."
Huo Yuyan didn't even think about answering her. He sneered. That wasn't what she asked for. He was afraid that she would start to torment him again.
But why is he afraid?
Why would he do it if she asked him to?
Huo Yuyan suddenly stopped for a moment in the dark corridor.
The lights on the wall flickered and were turned on, shining on his face in a staggered manner.
Here he was stumped by the problem.
Huo Yuyan caught a glimpse of a row of claw machines next to him. He turned around and saw his shadow reflected on the glass.
He is still the same as before, with a face that is impeccable, a life background and resume that is impeccable, and he has never made any major mistakes or lost face.
...He is not bad either!
Why is there such a cramped moment.
Huo Xihuai waved to him from outside.
"Brother, where is Miss Shen?" He was still holding those drinks in his hands and was almost unable to hold them.
When Huo Yuyan heard the voice, he remembered that he had forgotten Shen Yuntang in his excitement. His heart was beating fast and he had a headache.
Shen Yuntang would definitely make trouble for him. What should he do? Should he go back to find her?
But that also makes him seem too unprincipled!
Just then, Huo Yuyan saw the drink in Huo Xihuai's hand.
He paused suddenly.
"If I don't drink it soon, it will get cold." He said to himself, and soon convinced himself, "I have to let Shen Yuntang drink it quickly."
He took a cup from Huo Xihuai, turned around and strode back, even running as he walked.
Huo Xihuai: “…”
Sometimes, there is no need to be so stubborn.
When Huo Yuyan ran back, there was no one sitting in the theater, only the cleaning lady was cleaning the aisle.
He just glanced around and then stopped hurriedly.
"Shen Yuntang?"
He shouted.
No one agreed. Huo Yuyan walked up the stairs, took advantage of his height to look again, and asked uncertainly: "Shen Yuntang?"
Still no response, he turned around and ran out again.
"Shen Yuntang?"
"Shen Yuntang?"
He checked his watch, looked up and looked around and said, "It's eight o'clock. It's time to go home and sleep."
"Where did the person go?"
"You're not going to be angry with me anymore, are you?"
He walked with big strides, looking left and right, and kept talking, "Going out first?"
Huo Yuyan suddenly became quiet, then stopped and realized that he was really stupid. He actually forgot that he had a cell phone on him.
He took out his phone and prepared to call her. He swiped the lock screen several times but before he could open it, a cold voice behind him asked, "What are you doing?"
Huo Yuyan was so frightened that his hands almost shook. He turned around and saw Shen Yuntang just coming out of the bathroom, looking at him coldly and ruthlessly.
Huo Yuyan paused, then immediately handed over the drink in his hand, "...I mean, if you don't drink it, it will get cold."
Shen Yuntang was silent.
She sneered, "I don't drink."
Huo Yuyan was silent for a moment, then he stuck the straw in and took a big sip. He then took a break and said, "I'll drink it."
Shen Yuntang seemed to be angry again and walked past him and went out. Huo Yuyan didn't know what was wrong with her. He was stunned for a moment before chasing after her while drinking his drink.
He was tall and caught up with Shen Yuntang in just a few steps. Just as he slowed down to walk out at the same time as her, Shen Yuntang quickened her pace again and left him behind.
Huo Yuyan was puzzled for a moment and took another sip of the drink.
What is going on this again?
After he chased her outside the cinema and was about to open the car door for Shen Yuntang to get in, Miss Shen said coldly: "I have another celebration to attend, get out."
Huo Yuyan was stunned for a moment, "Who is celebrating? My mom even arranged a midnight snack for us?"
Shen Yuntang laughed, then looked back at him with a particularly creepy expression: "Don't I have any friends?"
"..." Huo Yuyan was speechless for a while, "That's not what I meant, it's just that it's time to go to bed -"
"What do you care about me?"
“…”
As they were talking, a wild-looking car drove over from a distance. A young man wearing a mask and a cap stuck his head out of the lowered car window and said, "Ms. Shen, get in the car?"
Shen Yuntang opened the car door, got in and left without even looking at Huo Yuyan.
Huo Yuyan, who was sprayed in the face by the exhaust gas from the car, said: "......?"
Who is this? Some wild man I haven't seen before?
Huo Xihuai then appeared beside him, a little stunned, and asked cautiously: "Brother, isn't Miss Shen going home?"
He then noticed that his brother had dented the drink cup in his hand.
Huo Xihuai was silent and didn't dare to speak.
As the car drove forward, Gu Lan asked her, "Is that Mr. Huo? Would you like to celebrate with us?"
Shen Yuntang sneered, "Is he worthy?"
Neither Gu Lan nor Fu Hengze dared to respond.
It was later that Gu Lan heard from Fu Hengze that an organizer suddenly showed up and wanted to kick Shen Yunhe and the others out. After hearing the description and recalling what Shen Yuntang said about having a backer, she realized that the organizer might be Huo Yuyan whom she had met last time.
After she and Fu Hengze compared their physical features, she became more certain and felt a little amused and helpless for a moment.
It turned out that this exhibition was organized by her family. Shen Yunhe could not blame anyone else for being slapped in the face so badly. It was her fault for not bowing her head under someone else's roof.
Huo Yuyan helped so much, they actually wanted to invite him to come together, but it seemed that Mr. Huo seemed to have made Miss Shen angry, so they just listened to Miss Shen and gave up.
Shen Yuntang was too lazy to think about Huo Yuyan, this tactless fool. She leaned back in the back seat with her arms folded, and suddenly asked, "Pick someone to tell us how you met?"
Fu Hengze was silent for a while.
Gu Lan smiled gently upon hearing this. "He is my brother whom I knew before. He is a very kind-hearted boy. I helped him a little a few years ago, and he still remembers it."
Although Shen Yuntang felt that the situation seemed to be more complicated than that, she stopped asking and looked out the window.
Fu Hengze didn't say anything. Gu Lan took out her phone from her bag, glanced at it and said, "Zhou Ying has arrived. She booked the place today. She is very knowledgeable about these things."
The three of them got out of the car in front of a club, and Shen Yuntang realized that it was the Golden Night Banquet they had been to last time. He didn't know if this was the only high-end club in the world of the book, and why everyone was running here.
Zhou Ying couldn't wait to come out to greet her. When she saw her, she couldn't stop smiling. She lowered her voice and said joyfully, "Ms. Shen, you are so amazing, so amazing! I never thought that Shen Yunhe's thing could actually match you. I'm so happy! I'll treat you today! I'm going to die of laughter when I see her like that..."
She pulled Shen Yuntang and Gu Lan in, and as they entered the elevator, she joyfully recounted Shen Yunhe's miserable situation, describing in detail how netizens had signed a petition in a massive manner demanding that Anguo Daily Chemicals remove all perfumes from the shelves. She also talked about how Anguo Daily Chemicals stores across the country had been neglected and their performance had plummeted. Some people even demanded that Shen Yunhe quit the entertainment industry, and now everyone was calling for their family to be punished.
Finally, he said regretfully: "I don't know who the person who assigned the booth to her is. He is really blind."
"It's Ye Jinze." Shen Yuntang said without blinking.
The name was not reported and was known only to those who were at the scene.
Gu Lan and Zhou Ying were both stunned.
Fu Hengze behind him suddenly paused.
Shen Yuntang had forgotten that Fu Hengze was also present at the scene, and had not thought about why he had not told Gu Lan and Zhou Ying. He said expressionlessly, "Huo Yuyan discovered that one of his men was secretly communicating with Ye Jinze. I wonder if he has been caught."
Zhou Ying was stunned for a long time before she reacted and said dully, "Who?"
"That bastard Ye Jinze, who is worse than a pig or a dog?"
Zhou Ying's anger rose immediately, and she sneered, "He and Shen Yunhe are really a perfect match. Oh, I'm afraid he is not only trying to seduce Shen Yunhe, but also trying to make things difficult for Gu Lan?"
"If he's such a dreamer, why doesn't he just die?"
The elevator door opened.
Zhou Ying then calmed down her temper temporarily and led them.
She kept cursing as long as they walked. Before they reached the room they booked, Zhou Ying suddenly stopped.
There might really be only one club in this world, the Liujin Yeyan, and they just happened to run into an acquaintance here.
Ye Jinze.
He was entangled with a drunk woman, who seemed to be crying. He tried to shake her off, but failed. He said impatiently, "Do you know we are outside? What should I do if someone sees us? What are you going to do?"
"Ye Jinze, you bastard, didn't you tell me that you were just asking for a booth for a friend? Why didn't you tell me that it was for Shen Yunhe? Are you attracted to Shen Yunhe or do you want to make things difficult for Gu Lan and make her regret it?"
"You are being unreasonable again. Can you please stop making random guesses? You have become like Gu Lan. I really don't like seeing women like this—"
Shen Yuntang tilted his head, slightly puzzled, "Don't you want to beat him?"
Zhou Ying realized who she had bumped into. She was so angry that she laughed at this chance encounter. She didn't expect that she had just scolded Ye Jinze and caught this bitch red-handed. She sneered and went up with her bag, "I've wanted to beat him up for a long time."
Shen Yuntang then looked at Gu Lan and Fu Hengze: "How can you still endure this?"
…
Ye Jinze was still struggling with her anxiously when he suddenly felt a pain on the back of his head. He cried out in pain and turned around in surprise, then saw Zhou Ying.
He was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to curse "lunatic" in anger, another hard bag hit him from the other side. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were hitting him densely. Ye Jinze was dumbfounded. After two seconds, he reacted, cursed, and was about to fight back when another person came and restrained him.
This man was not someone who only used his bag as a weapon. He squeezed Ye Jinze so hard that it hurt. He shuddered and couldn't help but think of the day when he was beaten in the underground garage.
Fu Hengze held him back and said coldly, "You guys go ahead, it's mine."
Only then did Ye Jinze notice Gu Lan standing in front of him and his eyes widened in surprise.
The woman next to him who he pushed away was also stunned. She seemed to be drunk and not quite sober. She was dazed for a long time before she suddenly looked at them alertly and said, "Who are you? Are you robbing me? Why are you beating me? I'm calling the police!"
Zhou Ying was playing vigorously, and Gu Lan also joined the game. Shen Yuntang was distracted and looked down at her, raising his eyebrows, "Are you from Huo Yuyan's company?"
The woman seemed to wake up all of a sudden.
She panicked for a moment before realizing that she had been seen meeting Ye Jinze. She started to speak without thinking, "What does this have to do with you? If you guys make trouble again, I'm really going to call the police!"
"First, worry about whether you will get in." Shen Yuntang crossed his arms. "Besides the booth, what else did you reveal to the outside world? You should know it better."
The woman's face turned pale. "Who are you? What's your business?"
Shen Yuntang nodded, "That's indeed something I can control. Huo Yuyan happens to be my husband."
Amid the woman's horrified look, Shen Yuntang made a phone call with an expressionless face.
"We've caught your traitor." She said impatiently, "He's on the 16th floor of the Golden Night Banquet. Come here quickly."
Huo Yuyan, who was getting off the car downstairs, was stunned.
He looked at the caller ID and confirmed it was Shen Yuntang, then he wondered, "An insider?"
Shen Yuntang is dead.
Huo Xihuai was holding his schoolbag in the back and said carefully, "Brother, will Miss Shen be unhappy if she knows that we followed her here?"
Huo Yuyan paused, came back to his senses, put away his phone, unfastened his seat belt, and said calmly, "No."
His tone became more confident: "She even took the initiative to invite me to come."
Huo Xihuai: “……?” Really?
The two brothers got out of the car, pressed the elevator button, and went up to the 16th floor as instructed.
Huo Yuyan finally calmed down after a call from Shen Yuntang. He became confident and walked in with Huo Xihuai. "She was the one who called me just now and asked me to come to Liujin Night Banquet. I think she must want to give me face. After all, we are husband and wife..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw several people fighting in the corridor.
Huo Yuyan's voice was stuck.
Huo Xihuai also suddenly stopped and stared blankly at the group of people who could no longer be distinguished as friend or foe.
Their Miss Shen was bravely hitting people with her bag, a dignified lady whom he had seen as a guest at the Huo's house was pulling a man's hair, and a beautiful sister he had never met was kicking him. A woman nearby tried to separate the fight but was hit twice. There was also a man who subdued the man who was beaten with a hideous face.
After a long while, he finally heard his brother's hollow and dazed voice: "...Shen Yuntang?"
The fierce fight over there did not stop because of this.
Huo Xihuai looked at his brother blankly.
Huo Yuyan closed his mouth after a while and said, "I think we should have a fight."
Huo Xihuai nodded.
So the two brothers walked up quickly, shouting "Hey, hey, hey, stop hitting" and kicked the man a few times in the chaos. Just as Huo Yuyan was about to pull Shen Yuntang away, he seemed to stumble accidentally and suddenly hit the man in the stomach with his elbow.
Ye Jinze screamed, and Huo Xihuai seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. He turned around and said, "I'll go get someone to come over!"
As he turned around, his schoolbag filled with several thick teaching aids slammed into Ye Jinze's face.
The fight was finally stopped. Huo Yuyan held Shen Yuntang's arms from behind and said, "Hey, stop it. It's not a good influence on Miss Shen. I don't want to spend the night with you in the police station."
Shen Yuntang kicked Ye Jinze once in the aftermath of the fight before he stopped, exhaled deeply, and his chest heaved.
Huo Yuyan was just about to assess the situation and estimate how much compensation he would have to pay when he looked up and saw the woman trembling all over and looking at him with fear on her face.
He was stunned for a moment.
After a moment, he turned his head and looked at the man with a ferocious face who was cursing.
Finally, he asked blankly: "Director Liu?"
He turned back to look at the person on the ground, "Ye Jinze?"
After a while, he remembered what Shen Yuntang said to him on the phone?
...An insider?
Huo Yuyan suddenly understood.
Huo Yuyan was silent.
Director Liu almost collapsed the moment she saw him coming. She was drunk just now, and she was only alert when she heard Shen Yuntang's words. She didn't even react when she heard her calling Huo Yuyan.
It was not until Huo Yuyan really came that she realized what she was about to face.
Shen Yuntang was right. Only she knew how much she had leaked.
She was already crying, trembling, begging, "Boss Huo, I know I was wrong, I'll pay for everything, I'll tell you everything, please don't sue me... I didn't do anything wrong, and Ye Jinze didn't want to harm our company, he just wanted to take advantage of us, really, Boss Huo..."
Shen Yuntang finally calmed down, tilted his head, and looked at Huo Yuyan expressionlessly.
She struggled to get out of Huo Yuyan's hand, straightened her coat, and sneered, "Solve it yourself."
She pulled Zhou Ying and Gu Lan, who were still reluctant to leave, into the room, leaving Fu Hengze and Huo Xihuai outside, staring at each other with Huo Yuyan.
Ye Jinze only then realized who this person was and his face turned horrified.
In the room, Gu Lan was originally sitting on the sofa with his head tilted back and breathing deeply. Suddenly, he closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"It feels so good." She murmured, "I beat him again. Thank you, Miss Shen."
"I feel great too." Shen Yuntang said.
Zhou Ying was tired but a little excited. "I have never hit anyone before. I didn't expect it would be so cool to hit this bitch. I want to hit her again."
The three of them collapsed on the sofa for a while before sitting up.
Gu Lan then said, "I never thought that they would end up in Mr. Huo's hands. I'm really happy to see them end up like this."
Zhou Ying also said: "Yes, thank you so much Miss Shen and her husband, you are simply the walking justice in the world."
Shen Yuntang had no expression on his face: "It's okay."
They ordered some fruit plates and low-alcohol wine for midnight snacks and drank while chatting. They didn't know how much time had passed before someone finally pushed the door open. It was Huo Xihuai.
He paused, politely greeted the sisters, and sat down quietly and upright in a corner of the sofa.
Zhou Ying had met him once and couldn't help but ask, "Is this Mr. Huo's brother?"
"right."
"Last time, Miss Shen asked about parenting tips for him, right? How is his brother now? Is he adapting well in school?"
Huo Xihuai paused and said softly, "I can adapt to it."
"Tell me how you have adapted to it." Shen Yuntang looked up and said, "Save some face for me, understand?"
“…”
Huo Xihuai was silent.
Zhou Ying and Gu Lan also became interested and asked him, "How are your grades?"
"Are you in love? Is the sea very strict?"
"Are the girls in your class pretty? Is there anyone chasing you?"
The sisters asked questions one after another. Huo Xihuai began to regret listening to his brother and came in. He just answered with his head down: "My grades... are OK."
“I can keep up.”
"..." He really couldn't come up with an answer, and finally managed to say, "I have to participate in a competition... I'm very busy."
Zhou Ying understood and nodded.
He seemed to be a good kid, nothing like those rich second-generation young men she knew. He had no hobbies like riding motorcycles, playing games, or dating. He just liked studying. She couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Shen Yuntang seemed dissatisfied with his low-key introduction and added, "Why didn't you tell me that you made it to the finals?"
Huo Xihuai: "...Yes, I made it to the finals of the chemistry competition."
Zhou Ying and Gu Lan exclaimed, "You're amazing, brother. Are you going to the capital for training? I think you can get in."
Just as Huo Xihuai was about to speak, Shen Yuntang continued, "I have given him the flight card you sent. He will participate in many competitions in the future. This is just a starting point."
Her tone was light, but Versailles' purpose was clearly revealed.
Zhou Ying also said, "How can a card be enough? My brother is so capable, can we do without his pomp and circumstance? Has the teacher leading your team booked a hotel? My grandfather's family is in the hotel business, I can arrange it for you."
Just as he was about to open his mouth to stop her, Zhou Ying made a phone call in a hurry and refused to accept his offer, claiming that if he didn't agree, he would be betraying the sisters' kindness.
Huo Xihuai was silent.
Miss Shen’s friends are too enthusiastic.
He had never received so many kind words and kindness in his previous life until his death.
Not quite adapted.
…
All these changes seemed to be brought about by Miss Shen.
Huo Xihuai raised his head, then lowered it gently.
Suddenly I felt fortunate.
Fortunately, her second personality appeared. The arrival of this personality made him, his brother, and Shen Yuntang himself stop making the same mistakes.
He was interrogated here for a long time. Huo Yuyan had finally finished dealing with the matter, and then he came in with Fu Hengze.
Probably because he already knew Fu Hengze's identity, the crisis was resolved and Huo Yuyan's expression became relaxed.
When Zhou Ying and Gu Lan saw him coming back, they quickly moved aside and asked Mr. Huo to sit down.
Huo Yuyan had never been in front of Shen Yuntang before. He cleared his throat and sat down beside her awkwardly.
Zhou Ying asked: "What happened to that couple?"
"The legal department will handle it. I have explained everything to them. The result will depend on how much morality they have left."
Huo Yuyan crossed his arms and suddenly saw an opened bottle of wine on the table. He poured himself half a glass. Before he finished, he heard Shen Yuntang's cold voice: "You still want to drink my wine?"
He paused for a moment, put the bottle back, looked up and saw the eyes of the people around him, and immediately explained: "It's not that I don't drink, it's mainly because I'm driving. It's not easy to call the driver over at night, right?"
Shen Yuntang sneered.
Huo Xihuai lowered his head.
This is his brother's status in the family.
Zhou Ying took a long while to summon up an awkward smile: "Yes, yes, Mr. Huo is very considerate."
But looking at their expressions, they probably know what Huo Yuyan is like at home.
Huo Yuyan was silent.
Shen Yuntang didn't want to pay attention to him. The room was awkward for a while before cautious conversations slowly began to sound. Only Shen Yuntang stayed out of the conversation and played with his phone without saying a word.
They also noticed that the atmosphere between Huo Yuyan and Shen Yuntang was not right, and for a moment the conversation seemed a bit forced.
After a while, the atmosphere in the room was filled with false excitement due to their awkward and pointless chat. Huo Yuyan was thinking about what excuse to use to go home when he heard Gu Lan whisper, "Miss Shen is asleep."
Huo Yuyan was stunned.
When I turned around, I saw Shen Yuntang lying on the sofa, sleeping soundly.
He looked at his watch. It was already so late. She should have been sleepy. It was a special case that she could hold out this long.
When he looked up again, he saw that the people around him were looking at him eagerly, as if expecting him to do something.
"..." Huo Yuyan was silent for a moment, "Why are you looking at me?"
Fu Hengze was speechless. He wiped his face, raised his head and gestured, "Hold me, hold me."
Even though he has been single all his life, he understands better than Mr. Huo, who is married.
Huo Yuyan paused.
The eyes around him were looking at him intently, and when he looked back, they looked away, but the expectation was self-evident.
He was roasted over the fire.
How could he tell them that if he carried Shen Yuntang away, Shen Yuntang would only get even angrier.
Huo Yuyan opened his mouth, seemed to want to say something, and then closed his mouth again after a while.
He looked at Shen Yuntang who was sleeping with his eyes closed on the sofa, and finally sighed and accepted his fate.
"Then we'll take our leave first." He said stiffly, "We'll meet again when we have time."
Although he didn't know any of these people before.
Zhou Ying nodded quickly, and Huo Xihuai also reacted and said quickly: "I can take a taxi back by myself."
Zhou Ying also hurriedly said, "Oh, yes, yes, I just happen to have a question that I want to ask my brother on behalf of my nephew. I'll take my brother home, Mr. Huo, you guys go first!"
"Yes, yes, we just happen to have an extra seat. I also have a question for you, brother..."
Huo Yuyan: "..." Do you think you are helping me?
You are harming me!
Under the pressure of their gazes, Huo Yuyan picked up Shen Yuntang with a headache and said goodbye to them with a forced smile.
He moved as gently as possible, fearing that he would wake Shen Yuntang up and twist his head off.
He felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life. Although he had carried her on his back during the last sports meet, that was a competition after all. He had to take emergency measures, and it was Shen Yuntang's own request, so he still had the courage to do it.
But now it is almost entirely up to you.
He held Shen Yuntang in his arms and felt it was ridiculous.
When faced with such a situation, wouldn't a normal overbearing CEO be "smelling the sweet fragrance in her arms and feeling excited for a moment" and then vigorously promote the relationship? Why is it like a bomb disposal team when it comes to him? He doesn't know when this Miss Shen will explode.
He finally carried Shen Yuntang into the car, gently placed her on the seat, skillfully straightened her skirt, and quickly covered her with the woolen shawl that Ms. Tang had given her so lovingly, fearing that she would suddenly wake up just when he was about to successfully exit.
Fortunately, he was luckier this time. Maybe it was because it was too late, Shen Yuntang slept very soundly and even talked in his sleep.
He was so focused on driving, just wanting to get home quickly, that he didn't hear what she said for a moment.
After finally arriving at the Huo residence, Huo Yuyan let out a long sigh in the driver's seat. He sent a message to Huo Xihuai to ask him where he was. After seeing that he replied that he was on the way, he sent a message to Butler Li, asking him to open the door quietly, and then put down the phone.
What followed was another race against time. Shen Yuntang had to be sent to her room quickly and she couldn't be allowed to wake up, otherwise their cold war would continue for an unknown number of years.
Huo Yuyan got out of the car and opened the back door. He moved as gently as possible and finally managed to stuff his arms under Shen Yuntang's neck and knees. Just as he was about to pick her up, he heard her talking in her sleep again.
This time he was close enough to hear it clearly.
“…”
He is very sure.
What Shen Yuntang was talking about was just bastard.
Huo Yuyan was almost so angry that he didn't want to hug her anymore.
After a while, he sighed and picked up the precious Miss Shen.
Butler Li had just opened the door and was standing at the door with a few night lights on. When he saw them coming back in this manner, he woke up completely from his sleepiness. He almost asked a question, but was stopped by his professional alertness.
After he found that Miss Shen had fallen asleep, he quickly shut his mouth and waited until Huo Yuyan carried her upstairs before he quietly closed the door.
Finally succeeded!
Huo Yuyan put her on the bed, put his hands on his hips and let out a long sigh.
Just as I was about to close the door and leave, I realized that she was still wearing shoes.
He was silent for a moment, then squatted down to take off the delicate seven-centimeter lambskin shoes and covered her with the quilt, finally ending this busy day.
A lot happened today.
Huo Yuyan no longer wanted to be smart.
It seemed that no matter what he did, the end result was to anger Shen Yuntang.
He was still reflecting on the reasons for Shen Yuntang's sudden anger after she came out of the cinema, and finally came to the conclusion that he was the first to leave the screening room without letting her leave first.
Miss Shen is difficult to serve.
Huo Yuyan pinched his brows.
He stood up and was about to leave, but before he stood up, he suddenly remembered that Shen Yuntang had helped him catch the traitor.
Huo Yuyan felt awkward for a moment.
He lowered his voice and whispered, "Thank you."
Haven't had time to leave yet.
Shen Yuntang woke up.
…
Huo Yuyan was stunned.
Shen Yuntang just looked at him like he was disgusted, and he did so for a long while, which made Huo Yuyan so horrified that his brain numbly prepared to apologize.
"Huo Yuyan," she said slowly, "you like me, right?"
Her tone was more determined than Huo Yuyan's determination to apologize.
