Chapter 43 [1, 2, 3 updates]

She paused after she finished laughing and said, "Sorry, please continue."

She thought Shen Anguo and Shen Yunhe could come up with some countermeasures, but she didn't expect them to go to find Xie Yunting.

Xie Yunting waited for her to finish laughing gently before recounting the scene: "They told me that ST originally occupied a large market in China, especially in perfume, which was well-known due to its collaboration with Charles. If we allow Bufan Perfume to continue to develop like this, its market share may soon be taken over by others."

"So?" Shen Yuntang propped up his chin, "Boss Xie is here to issue a challenge?"

Xie Yunting was silent for a moment.

He looked at Shen Yuntang's smiling expression and raised eyebrows and knew she was joking.

He recalled how Shen Anguo looked when he sat in front of him.

I guess Shen Anguo himself didn't expect to meet the president of ST so easily. He probably thought that he would not be in the country.

He had just returned to the country when he received a visit request from Shen Anguo.

The man with an honest face had a shrewd look in his eyes. He explained to him for a long time the threat that Bufan Perfume posed to ST. Finally, he said frankly, "Mr. Xie, I am selfish. Bufan Perfume and I are competitors, but we are small and perfume is not our main product line. It is just my personal obsession. But you are different. Your most popular product in China is perfume, which is always out of stock and hard to find. Moreover, even ST can only get the right to distribute, while Bufan Perfume directly got the opportunity to launch a joint product. Instead of selling Charles perfume in their store, they directly added their own brand mark to the perfume. If this continues, you will be threatened sooner or later."

"Mr. Xie doesn't care about this little bit of profit. But he still needs to keep his reputation, right? Being suppressed by a new brand with no name or surname, his reputation is bound to be affected."

"You don't want her to dominate the world and be stepped on by her, do you?"

Xie Yunting listened to him quietly, still looking down at the documents.

When Shen Anguo's saliva was dried up, he finally stopped and looked at him instigatingly and expectantly. He then raised his eyes and chuckled.

"You think I don't want to?"

He said softly.

Shen Anguo was stunned.

He was tongue-tied and stuttered for a long time before he said dryly: "She, she, you are...she, she is so arrogant, she even dares to beat her own father, sooner or later she will bully..."

"I spoiled her." Xie Yunting lowered his eyes and turned a page. "It's to make her do things without considering the consequences."

After a while, Shen Anguo was still dumbfounded on the sofa, as if he had been hit hard, so Xie Yunting said, "Please go out."

He didn't even pay any attention to Shen Anguo.

He is just a character who is about to be offline. Even if you know more, it won’t make any waves.

After Shen Anguo was kicked out in a mess, he stood in the garage and suddenly felt ridiculous.

How come the president of ST knows Shen Yuntang?

Shen Yuntang spent the twenty-one years before his marriage under his nose. He knew all of Shen Yuntang's social relationships, including who his friends were and who hated him. He heard it all clearly from Shen Yunhe.

He was sure that there was absolutely no such person as Xie Yunting.

If she had known Xie Yunting so long ago, would she have accepted the fiancé arranged by her stepmother? And in the end, she still tried her best to marry Huo Yuyan?

There is no need to go far away.

Then they could only have met after marriage.

Then how did she get to know Xie Yunting without Huo Yuyan's knowledge? It had developed to this point, so they must be extraordinary.

Shen Anguo suddenly felt relieved.

The last time he called Huo Yuyan, he was scolded and blocked by him. He was almost furious at his mindless support for Shen Yuntang, but now that Shen Yuntang is so important to him, what if he knew the relationship between Shen Yuntang and Xie Yunting?

At the very least, it would be a lose-lose situation, right?

Maybe Shen Yuntang would be locked up at home by Huo Yuyan because of this and would never be able to do business again.

Shen Anguo came up with a new idea. Although he was not sure about its effectiveness, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Perfume, perfume, perfume. She is just like her mother. Her mind is always thinking about perfume. She even wants to start her own business. When he sees Shen Yuntang, he thinks of Zhuo Mei.

Shen Anguo pounded the steering wheel in annoyance, and the horn made a shrill "beep" sound, which startled him all over.

He had just withdrawn his hand and was about to leave in shame when a burly man with tattoos who was resting with his eyes closed in a car next to him was suddenly woken up by him. He pushed the door open and got out in a rage, and the door slammed into his car body.

Shen Anguo was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to curse, the tattooed man opened the driver's door and grabbed him: "Hit, hit, hit, hit your uncle! You're the only one who has a horn, right? Do you have eyes?"

Shen Anguo also got angry and retorted: "Which law stipulates that I can't honk the horn? I'll honk it! I'll honk it!"

The tattooed burly man punched him onto the steering wheel, and a long, shrill horn blasted from the garage.

…

Xie Yunting later saw this content while watching the surveillance video. Two people were sent to the police station because of a dispute.

He also didn't expect that Shen Anguo was even dumber than he thought.

Xie Yunting poured a cup of tea for Shen Yuntang and half a cup for himself. He paused and said, "Shen Anguo has been taken to the police station."

Shen Yuntang: “Pfft.”

She originally wanted to ask Xie Yunting if he came to issue a challenge, but she didn't expect that this would lead to Shen Anguo being taken to the police station.

She couldn't help laughing and asked, "When did it happen?"

"Today." Xie Yunting didn't raise his eyes, concentrating on pouring tea, "Before I came to the tea room."

"Let him get used to it. He may end up in jail in the future." Shen Yuntang picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "If there's nothing else, I'll go home."

"Yes." Xie Yunting said softly.

He put down the teapot, looked at Shen Yuntang and said, "I know Ms. Zhuo Mei."

After another pause, he said, "I'm sorry, but I was with Mr. Charles when you contacted him."

Shen Yuntang's unserious expression gradually became serious.

"I met her at Mr. Charles' place. I was very young when she appeared, so I don't have much impression. I only remember that there was a lady who was very knowledgeable in perfume making and was a close friend of Mr. Charles."

He said calmly, "I went to look through my childhood diary and saw that I wrote that Aunt Zhuo Mei left today. She said she would come back when the plot was ready."

"I didn't know what it meant until I read the diary. Then I realized that there might be some unbelievable things in this world."

He raised his eyes, stared at Shen Yuntang, and said solemnly: "Miss Shen, do you believe that the world we live in may not be the real world?"

Xie Yunting's question was so sincere that Shen Yuntang was silent for a moment.

After a while, she asked, "If it's not the real world, what else could it be?"

"I don't know." Xie Yunting shook his head and said, "Maybe it's a plane that can be monitored by the outside world, or maybe it's a film or a book, or even The Truman Show."

Shen Yuntang looked at him for a long while, then smiled and said, "That's too scary."

Xie Yunting stared at her closely, as if puzzled by her overly calm reaction, but after a moment he followed her words and answered: "Yes, it's terrible."

Shen Yuntang stared at him without blinking: "You scared me."

Xie Yunting suddenly fell silent.

She looked so righteous, she didn't seem to be scared at all, but rather seemed to be trying to scam someone and extort money.

Xie Yunting sighed helplessly and said, "It's my fault. I should compensate Miss Shen."

"Oh, so sensible." Shen Yuntang was surprised. "It's not good for me to bring it up myself. How is Mr. Xie going to compensate me?"

This idea had been circling in his mind for a long time, but he had never found a suitable opportunity to speak it out. Just today, he bumped into it, and Xie Yunting said, "All ST offline stores can open a new counter for Bufan perfume."

Shen Yuntang opened his eyes wide.

Even she felt a little embarrassed about the compensation. Xie Yunting was really too good at doing things.

She was just about to decline the offer reluctantly and then accept it reluctantly when a message suddenly popped up on her phone, so she took a look at it.

Huo Luyan: The plaything is here to pick you up! Where is Miss Shen? :D

Shen Yuntang paused for a moment.

Xie Yunting also noticed her pause, lowered his eyes, then raised them again, and said gently: "Reply to the message first, then talk about this."

Shen Yuntang picked up the phone.

Huo Yuyan thought for a long time but still didn't know how to express himself.

Should he take the approach of seizing her heart and turning the tables? Or should he use his irreplaceable uniqueness to become her only plaything... her only partner?

Huo Yuyan thought for a while and felt that the former did not seem to fit Shen Yuntang's personality.

...Forget it, he should stick to the professional route, sneak into her life quietly and gently, like a frog in boiling water, so that Shen Yuntang will suddenly realize one day that she can't live without him, Huo Yuyan.

To boil a frog in warm water, he must first be omnipresent in her life. He must make Shen Yuntang accustomed to his presence, so that she would not ask him to get out as soon as she saw his face when she woke up, nor would she dislike him so much that she would only wear a coat when she was too cold.

That day, he had just finished work and heard that Shen Yuntang had gone out to a party with someone. Huo Yuyan thought that a party was not a good opportunity for him to show up. It would be best if he could show up to pay the bill and then invite her to get in the car and go home in an elegant and gentlemanly manner. In this way, both of them would gain face in front of Shen Yuntang's sisters.

Huo Yuyan practiced paying the bill countless times while talking to himself in the parking lot. He memorized the lines well before he informed Shen Yuntang.

How to send this message?

"Come to pick you up"? Too cold, Shen Yuntang probably won't pay attention to him.

"Tell me where it is?" Very domineering, but Shen Yuntang would probably say he was crazy.

How about calling directly? Let others notice that Shen Yuntang's husband is coming to pick her up, which will give people a reason to mention him in front of Shen Yuntang?

Huo Yuyan originally thought this was feasible, but then he thought that if he rashly called and disturbed Miss Shen's fun and made her angry, then all his efforts would be in vain.

Finally, after much deliberation, he could only edit a message that was a little humiliating, but one that Shen Yuntang would not get angry after reading.

Really hard to please.

After Huo Yuyan sent the message, he thought in confusion.

How come he fell in love with such a difficult young lady?

It took a long time before Shen Yuntang replied to him, only sending him a location.

Huo Yuyan paused.

It looks like he still has a chance to shine.

Huo Yuyan started the engine in a good mood.

Xie Yunting waited for her to finish sending the message before asking, "What do you think, Miss Shen?"

"Ah, I think it's great." Shen Yuntang put down his phone and looked at him, "But the compensation seems a bit too much. I think it would be better if you designed a few more clothes for me. Now they are all out-of-season styles, and I have nothing to wear."

Her complaints were justified. If others heard them, they would probably be shocked and want to ask her, "How do you think the cost for a busy president to design a few clothes himself would be much less than opening a counter?"

Opening a counter is just a matter of a word for him, but designing clothes requires real effort and time.

But Xie Yunting seemed to be used to it. He sighed and smiled, "Okay."

Shen Yuntang sat for a while, and seeing that Huo Yuyan was about to arrive, he didn't plan to continue chatting, and just said to him: "If you have any news about Ms. Zhuo Mei, please inform me as soon as possible. This matter is really very important."

Xie Yunting nodded as he was told, "Okay."

Seeing Shen Yuntang stand up, he also stood up and asked politely: "Do I need a ride?"

"——No need." A voice interrupted.

Huo Yuyan lifted the curtain.

When he first arrived, he was wondering why Zhou Ying, who used to like the Golden Night Banquet, had changed her taste to this kind of high-class style. He just asked where a lady named Shen was, and the waiter asked him cautiously: "Excuse me, are you a friend of Miss Shen?"

Huo Yuyan paused, and said with great confidence, "I am her family member."

The waiter was a little embarrassed and said, "Miss Shen is in the largest courtyard, but she has something to discuss with the boss now, so you may have to wait for a while."

Huo Yuyan suddenly became alert.

He asked calmly, "What's your boss's name?"

"My last name is Xie."

“…”

Huo Yuyan turned around and walked inside.

——Xie Yunting! It’s this evil creature again!

Why is he haunting us?

He was even more arrogant this time. No one could control him. He even bribed Zhou Ying to meet Shen Yuntang. He is so scheming!

The waiter was stunned for a moment, and quickly stopped him: "Sir, please wait outside for a moment, it will be soon--"

He watched helplessly as this cool, elite-looking man ran down the corridor.

Huo Yuyan ran to the end of the yard and was looking around to see which was the largest courtyard when he heard faint voices coming from the side.

"Do you need a ride?"

She needs a head!

Huo Yuyan's blood pressure rose.

He drew aside the curtain and immediately interrupted the ambitious man.

Shen Yuntang was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him and raised his eyebrows: "Ah, Mr. Huo is so fast."

Xie Yunting also paused and turned to look at him.

Before Huo Yuyan had time to speak, he heard him say, "Miss Shen was chatting with Mr. Huo."

Huo Yuyan suddenly calmed down.

From what he said, it seemed like Shen Yuntang was distracted and sent a message to him while listening to him chatting?

He breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, regained his politeness, and said, "Hello, I didn't have time to meet you last time."

He even stretched out his hand: "I am Huo Yuyan."

Xie Yunting smiled and shook hands with him, "Xie Yunting."

Shen Yuntang said impatiently: "Why are you dithering? Are you going to leave or not?"

Huo Yuyan then withdrew his hand and said goodbye to him.

There was a traffic jam on the way home, so he took another route which was a few kilometers longer.

Huo Yuyan stared straight ahead and suddenly asked, "Does Miss Shen know about Gu Lan's new movie?"

Shen Yuntang was combing her hair in front of a small mirror. Hearing this, she said casually, "I probably know."

Huo Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "This movie is currently gaining momentum. Based on my experience in investing in those projects, I think it can double the investment after it is released. Now someone has withdrawn their investment, leaving a position vacant. Is Miss Shen interested?"

"How much is the difference?" Shen Yuntang didn't even blink.

"The benefits of the feedback are not important." Huo Yuyan paused, took a look at the passenger seat, and said slowly, "The main thing is that I can insert a soft advertisement in the movie."

Shen Yuntang didn't even blink - "Throw it."

Huo Yuyan smiled, then pulled it back with all his strength, and said, "Miss Shen, do you trust my judgment so much?"

Shen Yuntang remained calm, "I trust Gu Lan's vision in selecting films."

Huo Yuyan: "..."

That’s too much.

Gu Lan's film had been delayed a lot because of a funding gap, but she didn't plan to ask any friends for help. Huo Yuyan discovered it when he was organizing the project. He asked the producer and if the funding gap was filled, he could insert soft ads or even hard ads into the film, and even change the main clues and props into products sponsored by investors. Their entire crew is now waiting for the funds to arrive, and the screenwriter is ready to change the script with a computer at any time.

The initial investment has been too huge and we can’t afford to delay any further.

Huo Yuyan originally planned to get involved himself, but when he thought about the fact that the leading actor was Shen Yuntang's friend, and if the movie won an award after its release, he could attend the ceremony as an investor.

If he brought Shen Yuntang in as well.

If the movie wins an award.

if.

He didn't do this for the purpose of being able to attend events with Shen Yuntang legitimately. The main reason was that Bufan Perfume needed to expand its popularity right now, didn't it?

Although it has a lot of popularity on the Internet, the popularity that relies on hot events still needs other exposure to maintain. Besides, the audience of the movie is of all ages, yes, that's it.

He was thinking about Miss Shen's career.

When the car was halfway on the road, Shen Yuntang suddenly asked, "How is your house outside?"

Huo Yuyan stepped on the brakes.

"It's OK." He stretched his neck and said calmly, "... not particularly comfortable."

"Okay," Shen Yuntang nodded, "I'll go take a look."

Huo Yuyan: “……?”

He looked at Shen Yuntang in the rearview mirror speechlessly, wondering why she suddenly had such a strange idea.

"Mr. Huo doesn't want me to go?" Shen Yuntang looked at him with a smile.

Huo Yuyan was silent.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "No, Miss Shen."

The car changed direction and drove towards his own house.

Huo Yuyan felt a little bit uncomfortable, not much, just a little bit.

It seems like he hasn't lived in that house for a long time, and I don't know if the hourly aunt has cleaned it up. Is his fitness equipment not scattered all over the floor? He still likes to tidy up.

Decoration style? I don’t know if Shen Yuntang likes the decoration style.

Anyway, he always wears that combination of black, gray and metallic colors.

Is it okay?

It's not bad at all.

He found this section of the road extremely difficult to drive.

Although he thought there was nothing in the house that could not be seen by others, he was still afraid that something would slip through the net and cause Shen Yuntang to misunderstand his personal habits.

In fact, he still has a slight mysophobia and likes cleanliness very much.

I don't have any special collecting hobbies. I just have two whole walls of books as a background for entertaining guests, but I hardly read them.

It's not a flaw that can be criticized, right?

Oh, and by the way, he also has a home theater in his house!

That was arranged under the influence of Ms. Tang. He would watch a movie when he had nothing to do. However, he was busy with work or fitness most of the time and had no time to watch it.

By this calculation, he could even be considered a likable single man who was clean, tidy, elegant, and self-disciplined, and he shouldn't be able to make any mistakes.

The car finally arrived at the destination as Huo Yuyan had planned.

This property is very famous in Hai City. Some business people who often travel around like to buy a house here. There are housekeepers to take care of it, and the property management will not just sit there doing nothing.

Huo Yuyan swiped the card, pressed the floor number, and took Shen Yuntang upstairs.

Looking at the reflection on the elevator door, he was actually a little nervous.

I don't know what I'm nervous about.

After entering the room, he looked around carefully to make sure there were no loopholes, then he stepped aside and invited Miss Shen in.

When he opened the cabinet door and saw that all the shoes were men's slippers, he felt more relieved. Fortunately, he had never done anything to prepare for a rainy day, so now Shen Yuntang didn't even have the chance to find fault.

Huo Yuyan picked out a new pair of indoor slippers for her and said with a stern face, "We don't have women's ones, so you'll have to make do with this."

Shen Yuntang glanced at him.

The entrance was to a sunken living room with a black and gray sofa and coffee table. She walked around the sofa without blinking and headed for the balcony.

After a while, she said, "It's better to live on the same floor. You can't see the river view if you live in Huo's house."

Huo Yuyan was pouring juice for her and said casually, "The scenery is indeed nice. I also like the river view."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Shen Yuntang smiling and saying, "I'm sure you've been wronged at the Huo residence, right, Mr. Huo?"

"……?"

Huo Yuyan paused and almost spilled the juice.

He had never expected this kind of attack.

He put down the cup, wiped the water stains on his hands, and said with his jaw clenched: "...The yard is also very nice."

He paused, then added, "You can also plant flowers."

She pursed her lips and continued, "You can also invite people to have tea."

"Oh." Shen Yuntang nodded.

I don't know if this hurdle has been passed. Huo Yuyan reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief and regained his spirits.

He finally understood that Shen Yuntang was here to find fault, and she would feel uncomfortable unless she found fault with him.

…Then let her choose.

Huo Yuyan sighed helplessly, wiped the water stains from the rim of the cup, drank it all himself, then took another cup and poured one for Shen Yuntang.

While pouring juice in his hand, he followed Shen Yuntang's footsteps without blinking.

Seeing her walk into the study, Huo Yuyan immediately became nervous again and hurriedly followed with the juice.

"Would you like a drink--"

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Shen Yuntang looking at his bookshelf. He felt a little embarrassed for a moment and said, "...I like collecting books. You can take a look at them."

Shen Yuntang nodded, squatted down, and took out one of the books.

"Marriage First, Love Later: Don't Beg for Mercy, President's Dear Wife."

She finished reading the title with a blank expression.

Huo Yuyan: "..."

The hand holding the cup suddenly clenched.

He was surprised for a moment and wondered, "How could this be? Did my assistant smuggle some of the new books he bought for me?"

As soon as he put the glass on the table, Shen Yuntang turned two pages and a bookmark inside fell out.

Huo Yuyan paused slightly.

Shen Yuntang picked up the bookmark and said in surprise: "It turns out that the assistant's handwriting is exactly the same as Mr. Huo's."

He shuddered inwardly. Just as he was about to explain himself, "Maybe I just happened to see it in the study, and flipped through a few pages when I was bored—"

Shen Yuntang took out another one.

"'Did the Madam Get Divorced Today?'" Shen Yuntang flipped through the introduction casually. "He was the proud son of heaven that everyone in North City admired, and she was just an ordinary female college student. Their marriage was destined to be in name only. She was tired, and she understood that he didn't love her at all. She didn't know that on the night she decided to divorce, there was a man smoking all over the balcony with red eyes..."

“Okay!”

Huo Yuyan snatched the book from her hand and put it behind her. As he moved, something stuck between the pages of the book fell to the ground.

Shen Yuntang looked at him, lowered his head, and looked at the ground again.

Bookmarks again.

Huo Yuyan: "..."

He suddenly felt his throat a little dry and sore. After a long silence, he threw the book in his hand on the table.

The book hit the edge of the table, bounced, and then fell to the ground.

Shen Yuntang finally stopped and nodded, "I understand."

…

She understood what Huo Yuyan understood. Huo Yuyan had never experienced such an embarrassing moment in his life. He was just reading it casually. After all, the only books on his profession on the market were success books and CEO articles.

He just wanted to know how his professional image was perceived by others - not to watch some marriage-first-love-later thing!

I should have thrown away the books after reading them. It’s all his fault for collecting books. It makes me so mad.

Huo Yuyan took a few deep breaths and tried to defend himself, "It's just these two books. I just wanted to see how other overbearing CEOs live their lives..."

Shen Yuntang's eyes suddenly fixed.

She slowly walked to the bookshelf opposite and calmly read: "The Bird in a Cage."

Seeing that she was about to take out the book to read the introduction, Huo Yuyan suddenly felt a mouthful of blood rushing to his throat, and he immediately stepped forward and put the book back.

Shen Yuntang raised his eyebrows and looked up at him: "Mr. Huo is quite good at applying what he has learned. He even put the bookcase to use."

Huo Yuyan opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and was so angry at her that he trembled all over.

He felt like he was about to have a brain hemorrhage. He was talking without thinking. He could even hear the grievance in his voice: "I am - I am - what's wrong with me reading a novel!"

He took a deep breath and decided to go all out: "Can't I have a hobby?"

Okay, okay, he admitted that he just loved reading melodramatic novels, especially those about domineering CEOs and marriage first and love later. It’s just a hobby!

Huo Yuyan was ready to face Shen Yuntang's ridicule, but she nodded seriously and smiled at him: "Why are you so nervous, Mr. Huo? I like reading too. Don't you want to borrow some books from Mr. Huo?"

Huo Yuyan was silent.

He once again realized how much Shen Yuntang had gone too far.

How good she is at bullying people.

Huo Yuyan became emotional and turned away.

"See for yourself!"

He slammed the door and tried to make Shen Yuntang feel some of his anger with the loud sound of the door slamming.

If she chased him out to comfort him later, he would not forgive her immediately.

As a person, you have to have a bottom line. Otherwise, she will push you further.

Huo Yuyan went to work out for a while in a depressed mood. After working out, he got up and sat for a while, staring at the wall of the study in a daze.

There was no movement inside.

Huo Yuyan sat for a while, then stood up with a stern face and went to the kitchen.

He was still angry and would definitely not be coaxed back by Shen Yuntang's few words.

He tied on his apron with a grim expression, took out the pan with a sullen face, and fried two steaks roughly.

The chopsticks picked up the butter and quickly melted it at the bottom of the pot. Huo Yuyan looked at the tiny bubbles popping at the bottom of the pot and stopped moving again.

He glanced back at the study.

Still no one came out.

Shen Yuntang is embarrassed?

Or are you just too embarrassed to talk to him in a nice tone?

Huo Yuyan was thinking this while melting the butter. When he came to his senses, the butter had melted completely. The whole pot of oil was filled with oil, and the chopsticks were being fried in the oil.

He was silent for a moment.

…

After finally preparing a table of simple meals, he put them in the warming area and was about to take off his apron when his hands paused again.

No, he had to let Shen Yuntang see how hard he was working.

Otherwise, she seems to think that being a husband is an easy thing!

Huo Yuyan was angry. After a pause, he kicked the sweeping robot back, took out the vacuum cleaner that he hadn't used for who knows how long, and started sucking the carpet.

He smoked while looking towards the study, but there was still no movement there.

Huo Yuyan couldn't help it.

He held the vacuum cleaner in one hand and knocked on the door with the other.

Shen Yuntang ignored him.

Huo Yuyan was about to knock again, but suddenly paused. Then he remembered that this was his home, so what was there to be afraid of?

So he reached out and turned the door handle.

He thought he could see Shen Yuntang's repentant expression, or at least say a few words to him in a timid way, but he didn't expect that there was nothing at all.

…

Shen Yuntang sat in his seat and read a novel.

The book I was reading was "The Bird in a Cage".

Huo Yuyan's breathing paused for a moment, and his eyes slowly fell down, and he saw that she still had the book "The Domineering CEO" and the book "Marriage First, Love Later" in her hands.

It turned out that he had been angry outside for so long and Shen Yuntang had no idea at all.

No… maybe she wouldn’t care even if she knew.

Huo Yuyan tightened his grip on the vacuum cleaner.

Shen Yuntang looked up when he heard the door open, and was surprised, "Boss Huo is so virtuous?"

Huo Yuyan didn't want to say a single good word to her, and said coldly: "You just found out?"

He strode in with a vacuum cleaner in his hand, plugged it in, and said with his head down, "Get out of the way."

Shen Yuntang lifted his foot.

Huo Yuyan originally wanted to cause trouble for her, but Shen Yuntang was more calm and unmoved than anyone else, and was not affected by his intense emotions at all.

"..." Huo Yuyan was silent again, and showed the toughness of the head of the family: "Go over there!"

The head of the family sometimes still has dignity. For example, at this moment Shen Yuntang stood up and left obediently, leaving him room to perform.

Huo Yuyan finished the whole film angrily, and just as he stood up and was about to leave, he turned around and saw Shen Yuntang sitting down on the sofa again, crossing his legs and continuing to read the novel.

Noticing Huo Yuyan's gaze looking at her, she raised her head, picked up the juice next to her, took a sip, and slowly put it down.

"Why did Mr. Huo stop?" She said with a smile, "Oh, you want to clean this area, right? Okay, I'll give it up now."

Shen Yuntang got up and walked out of the study room with juice and a book in his hand, and considerately closed the door for him before leaving.

"I'm sure Mr. Huo will clean the whole house thoroughly." Shen Yuntang praised, "Mr. Huo is such a virtuous and good man. I believe you won't let me down."

She closed the door a little.

Huo Yuyan: "..."

Shen Yuntang was born to make him angry.

Huo Yuyan took a deep breath and looked at the large area around him that had not been cleaned yet. For a moment, he wished he could strangle himself to death.

After finally finishing cleaning the study room, Huo Yuyan was sweating profusely and felt more tired than working out.

He unplugged the plug, picked up the vacuum cleaner, and pushed the door out of the study with a gloomy face.

Shen Yuntang sat on the balcony, reading a novel while enjoying the river breeze.

No one in the world is more at ease than her.

Huo Yuyan dropped the vacuum cleaner in his hand, roughly untied his apron, casually put it aside, and washed his hands.

He had never washed so vigorously before, as if he wanted to rub the skin on his hands until it broke.

After a long time of washing, he finally finished turning off the faucet and looked up at himself in the mirror.

After seeing the beads of sweat on his face, neck, and running down his collarbone, he thought with a dead face, being a husband is really difficult.

Is this what married life is like?

He was filled with grief and numbness, so he emptied his mind and took a shower.

When he finished washing, Shen Yuntang had finally finished reading the book "Bird in a Cage".

Huo Yuyan paused as he wiped his head.

He strode forward.

There was a gentle breeze by the river in the evening. Shen Yuntang turned on the small light above his head and sat on a rattan chair, watching very seriously.

Huo Yuyan walked over and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Shen Yuntang."

His tone became a little more fierce, "Shen Yuntang!"

"Can you please pay attention to me?"

Only then did Miss Shen raise her head when she heard his shout.

Huo Yuyan was stunned to see that her eyes were a little red. She even took a piece of paper and wiped her face.

"..." Huo Yuyan paused, feeling a little uncomfortable, and wanted to ask if I was too fierce?

Shen Yuntang threw the paper ball into the trash can and lowered his head to turn to the last page.

"It's too cruel. Why did she end up with him? I'm so pissed! What kind of crappy novels are you reading, Huo Yuyan?"

She pulled out another piece of paper.

Huo Yuyan: "..."

Just as he was about to speak, the doorbell rang twice.

Who else comes here at this time?

Without even raising his head, Shen Yuntang said, "Go and take a look."

Huo Yuyan was speechless.

He took a deep breath and let it out, telling himself to figure it out later.

Huo Yuyan turned around, strode over, and was about to open the door when he suddenly froze when he looked at the screen beside the door.

Shen Anguo?
