Chapter 44 [Update 1 and 2]
Huo Yuyan thought he was sick.
Why did Shen Anguo come to his house for no reason? Was he not scolded enough last time and wanted to do it again?
It acted like they knew each other very well. I don't know where this old guy got his home address.
Just like a perverted stalker.
Shen Yuntang didn't hear him open the door for a long time, and said lazily: "Who is it? Are you ashamed to see me?"
"..." Huo Yuyan was silent for a while, then said, "Your father."
Shen Yuntang's hand suddenly paused, and he couldn't even turn over the book "Marry First, Love Later" that he had just picked up.
That is indeed a bit shameful.
The doorbell rang again. One could tell from the sound of the doorbell how anxious and impatient Shen Anguo was.
She resumed her movements, opened the book, raised her chin, and said, "Open it."
Seeing that she looked like she wanted to see a good show, Huo Yuyan knew that he was going to have another big show with Miss Shen.
Never mind, you'll get used to this kind of thing after a few times.
Huo Yuyan opened the door expressionlessly.
"Boss Huo!"
When Shen Anguo saw the door open, he was caught off guard and let out a loud shout of surprise. He looked like he had seen a relative, and he even wanted to come up and hug Huo Yuyan.
Huo Yuyan withdrew his hand in time and closed the gap in the door so that he could only see his face but not get in. He looked at the scar on Shen Anguo's face that he didn't know how to get, and asked warily: "What are you doing?"
Shen Anguo paused for a moment when he was about to put his foot in, then retracted it dejectedly.
He cleared his throat and said, "Nothing else, I just want to talk to Mr. Huo. After all, we rarely have such opportunities to meet alone. Usually there are people around, so I can't be too intimate with you..."
Huo Yuyan got goosebumps and frowned: "Stop disgusting me."
“…”
Shen Anguo was frustrated when he spoke, but he was not discouraged. Huo Yuyan just didn't hear the key information from him, so he could still face him so easily.
When he hears the news, I'm afraid his face will turn green.
Thinking of this, Shen Anguo sighed deeply, and looked at Huo Yuyan hesitantly, waiting for him to become curious and ask himself so that he could take the initiative.
...But the reality is, Huo Yuyan looked at him coldly, without even blinking. Not only was he not interested at all, he even wanted to kick him out.
Shen Anguo finally couldn't hold back his anger at his cold expression. He was also afraid that he would be driven away before he could say anything. So he thought for a moment and said, "I'm here to talk to you about Shen Yuntang."
He paused, sighed again, and said exaggeratedly: "I know a big secret of hers, and no one dares to tell it, but I can't help but tell you, otherwise I, as a father, will be harming her."
Shen Anguo took a breath after he finished speaking, thinking that this should whet Huo Yuyan's appetite, so he said, "Can you let me in and talk?"
He looked up and saw that Huo Yuyan's expression seemed a little strange.
There was a hint of surprise in the weirdness, and a hint of confusion in the surprise.
Shen Anguo was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses. He must be curious, but didn't know what he was talking about, so he showed this expression.
He felt confident and walked inside. Before he could move his foot, Huo Yuyan suddenly pulled the door halfway back, and Shen Anguo's foot was caught in the crack of the door.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey--" Shen Anguo screamed, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Don't close the door, I want to go in!"
Huo Yuyan held the door handle tightly with great force and said expressionlessly, "Let's talk outside if you have anything to say."
Not to mention that Shen Yuntang was in there, he had just swept the floor at home. How could he let this lunatic in? Shen Anguo was really crazy.
Shen Anguo's face turned blue with pain, and he was sweating coldly. He then twitched his feet and said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you outside, let me go!"
Huo Yuyan then loosened his grip slightly.
He pulled his legs out with a breath of cold air, gritting his teeth in pain for a long time before he could barely stand. After a long while, he said with a gloomy face: "This is what you want me to say outside."
"What I want to talk about is Shen Yuntang's affair."
An unexpected laugh rang out in the house.
Huo Yuyan was also confused at first. When he heard the laughter behind him, he quickly turned his head to look, then quickly retracted his gaze and closed the door a little tighter. He looked superior and arrogant and said, "Can you tell me in detail?"
That expression was 99% imitated from Shen Yuntang.
Shen Anguo was stunned for a moment, still trying to figure out the meaning of the laughter coming from behind him.
Just as I was wondering who this person was, the person inside said in a greasy voice: "Boss Huo, who is here?"
Shen Anguo's spirits suddenly lifted.
This is obviously not Shen Yuntang's voice!
Huo Yuyan has someone else outside! Will he still care about Shen Yuntang's affair?
No, he knows a man's moral character best. Even if he has someone else outside, he will never allow his wife to cheat on him.
So Shen Anguo regained his confidence, and he said slowly: "So I am sorry for disturbing Mr. Huo's good thing, but I really don't want you to be kept in the dark. Do you see the wound on my face?"
Huo Yuyan was originally frightened by Shen Yuntang's sudden words in a pinched voice, and his whole body was covered with goose bumps. Then he saw Shen Anguo's expression that said "I understand people of the same kind", and his fists suddenly became harder.
He gritted his teeth and smiled gently, "Do you want me to hit you again?"
Shen Anguo's smug expression disappeared just like that.
Why does Huo Yuyan always play by his own rules?
He couldn't keep it a secret any longer, and after a moment of awkwardness, he raised his voice as if they were all united against a common enemy: "I got hurt when I went to meet that man outside his house!"
He used this trick of blurring the timeline very cleverly, linking the beating that Xie Yunting suffered in the parking lot after meeting him with Shen Yuntang's affair. If you look into it carefully, he was not lying, he just made a slight mistake.
He tried to use this injury to illustrate how violent and difficult to deal with the wild man was, so as to attract Huo Yuyan's attention. However, he didn't expect that Huo Yuyan was still not interested even after hearing what he had said.
Shen Anguo was angry.
Is he still a man? He didn't even react when he heard his wife was having an affair!
If he was really Shen Yuntang's good father, he probably wouldn't be able to stand Huo Yuyan's indifferent reaction.
Shen Anguo took a deep breath and decided to use details to guide Huo Yuyan into the situation and make him feel how unnecessary his efforts for Shen Yuntang were. It would be even better if he divorced Shen Yuntang immediately and took back all the preferential treatment he had given to Shen Yuntang.
"This wild man is familiar and unfamiliar. I guess you have heard of him." Shen Anguo sighed in frustration, "He is Xie Yunting, the president of ST."
He didn't notice that Huo Yuyan's expression finally changed at this moment, and he was still muttering.
"It was only after the exhibition that I found out that you were the one who organized this exhibition. If I had known earlier, would I have asked someone for help? Right? You have been so good to Shen Yuntang. You gave her money to build a brand, sent her to the fragrance exhibition and helped her get a co-branded name, gave her the largest booth, and helped her slap Yunhe in the face. But she treated you like this. Aren't you heartbroken?"
Shen Anguo continued to persuade her earnestly, "I was just saying those words out of anger that day. You see, we didn't hold it against you after the exhibition, which shows that I still want to make peace with you in my heart. Otherwise, I wouldn't rush to tell you that Shen Yuntang had an affair. In my heart, I still hope that you can solve the problem and have a happy family, so that our two families will have a chance to resolve the misunderstanding..."
"Stop it." Huo Yuyan said suddenly.
Shen Anguo paused and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"She went to the fragrance fair on her own, she got the joint name on her own, and she runs the company herself. What does it have to do with me? Besides, who are you and I? Who has a misunderstanding with you?" Huo Yuyan asked in surprise, "You still like to flatter yourself."
Shen Anguo choked unexpectedly.
Did Shen Yuntang get the joint name by herself? Then how did she get with Charles? Did she rely on Xie Yunting? Or - or was she like her mother, with some messy... talent?
Out of fear or guilt, Shen Anguo suddenly became furious and raised his voice: "Is this the point? The point is that I said Shen Yuntang had an affair! She has a man outside!"
"Do you have some incurable disease?" Huo Yuyan wondered, "What does it have to do with you whether she has an affair or not? Did she care about your affair? You even gave birth to such a big child, and you still have the nerve to say that others have an affair?"
"you--"
"Don't interfere in the affairs between us." Huo Yuyan looked at him with pity, "Except Shen Yunlian, no one recognizes you as their father."
He pushed the door open, and Shen Anguo was caught off guard. His toe was pinched by the door again, and he screamed in pain.
Huo Yuyan pushed the door open again, used the shoe horn beside him to push his foot out, then slammed the door shut and called the property management with an expressionless face: "How did you let him in here?"
He walked in and negotiated with the property management, who quickly apologized to him. They didn't know how someone could knock on the door so openly when the security was so good. They will definitely strengthen supervision in the future.
He stood on the terrace with one hand on his waist and talked to the property management, and it was obvious that he was a lot more irritable than usual.
Normally, he would not use a scolding tone unless his subordinates made mistakes at work.
Shen Yuntang waited until he finished the call before slowly saying, "Why don't you finish the performance?"
The script she had set was to make Shen Anguo mistakenly believe that there was a beautiful woman in the house, and when he entered the house, he found out that it was Shen Yuntang. But unexpectedly, Huo Yuyan drove the woman away directly, and the second half of the wonderful play was aborted.
Huo Yuyan said nothing, but held on to the railing with his arms wide open.
He was having a splendid rage.
Shen Yuntang was a little surprised that Huo Yuyan could remain silent for so long in front of her. She knocked the book over to her and placed it on her knees, looking at him with her head tilted.
From this perspective, he has a bit of the temperament of a domineering president, with three points of indifference, three points of sinisterness, and three points of forbearance evenly distributed, and the remaining one point is neither more nor less, which is grievance.
Yes, he is feeling wronged.
He decided not to take the initiative to talk to Shen Yuntang.
In order to avoid appearing like he was someone who could be summoned and dismissed at will, he had already suffered so much injustice and still had to be controlled by her -
"husband?"
Miss Shen tilted her head and tried the same trick again.
Huo Yuyan's hand slipped and his shoulders slumped.
After a moment of embarrassment, he withdrew his hand expressionlessly and leaned on the railing again.
Huo Yuyan is so tough!
This really surprised her. It seemed that Shen Anguo really had some ability to be able to provoke someone with Huo Yuyan's temper into this state.
Shen Yuntang was quiet for a while, so quiet that Huo Yuyan thought she was not going to pay attention to him. He was thinking about how long he would be angry, when he heard her voice softly say, "Baby?"
Huo Yuyan suddenly slipped again.
After a while, he slowly stood up, looking even more furious. Although there was no expression on his face, his breathing became unusually labored.
Shen Yuntang was so good at coaxing him. She supported her chin with one hand, reached out with the other hand to pull his sleeve, and said to him, "Don't be angry."
The hand that Huo Yuyan was holding seemed to be frightened and clenched unexpectedly.
He instantly felt what it felt like to feel "numb all over", as if the skin all over his body was jumping up, all because of Shen Yuntang's deliberate tone.
Shen Yuntang did it on purpose.
She is not that kind of person at all.
She just wanted to see him being stimulated by her.
She is so hateful, she is an emotional cheater.
Huo Yuyan suddenly turned around, as if he was angry, "You are such a jerk..."
He paused, a little bit at a loss for words, "What..."
He paused again, and said in self-abandonment: "...It's not worth anything at all!"
I don't know how many people she has called him! He is not her only treasure. Look at how skilled she is in calling him, how she blurts it out without thinking, she must have gone through countless practical training to have such a reaction.
Shen Yuntang still held up one side of his face, pulled his sleeve and looked up at him, still saying in that tone: "It's valuable."
…
Huo Yuyan hated himself for falling for this.
Shen Yuntang didn't even need to ask him why he was angry, he just sat down and poured out all his anger.
"Look, everyone says you're having an affair." He sulked, "How plastic is our relationship? Anyone can see that we have no feelings for each other."
"Do you want to have one?" Shen Yuntang supported his chin and looked at him.
Huo Yuyan paused with his mouth open, and his breathing stagnated. Finally, he said in a heavy and firm voice: "...Can you please not talk to me in this tone until I am done getting angry?"
He can't even get angry!
Shen Yuntang nodded. But he knew she would come again when he saw her like that. Huo Yuyan took a deep breath and decided to seal his heart with cement first, and he must not be affected by her at such a formal moment.
He continued: "Even others think that you and Xie Yunting are having an affair, you don't-"
He paused, and finally managed to utter, "You don't-you don't want to refute it?"
"Do you want me to refute?" Shen Yuntang used the same tone again.
Huo Yuyan couldn't help it.
She did it on purpose, she knew he couldn't stand it at all, she played with his emotions and manipulated him in the palm of her hand just to make him so embarrassed!
"I—" Huo Yuyan paused, and suddenly he was filled with anger. He became bold again and said, "I hope!"
"I..." He returned to the previous question, feeling flustered and heavy, and having the feeling that his emotions were turning into substance and falling down. His lips were a little dry, and he gave up again, "...I think so!"
After saying that, he became annoyed. He turned his head away and looked at the night outside. His chest heaved slightly. He decided not to give Shen Yuntang any chance to lead him away.
There was silence for a while.
He always felt that Shen Yuntang was smiling.
But he didn't look back, maintaining his proud attitude. Just laugh, it wasn't the first time Shen Yuntang laughed at him. As long as he got used to being embarrassed, he wouldn't feel embarrassed anymore. This was a scientifically based mental therapy.
Before Huo Yuyan could even develop a thick skin, he heard Shen Yuntang actually laugh out loud.
He instantly exploded, took a breath of cold air, but still couldn't suppress his anger. He turned around and saw Shen Yuntang and said, "I refute it."
His orbicularis oculi muscle, which had been exerting force just now, suddenly relaxed unexpectedly, and he was a little stunned.
After a long while, he stammered, "Okay, okay."
After a while, he continued, "I just... want to hear you say it yourself."
Seeing his stupid look, Shen Yuntang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, wanting to bully this fool.
How can ordinary people meet such a stupid person?
Every reaction of Huo Yuyan made her feel entertained. Huo Yuyan was very sensible when comparing himself to a toy. He was indeed the most fun part of Shen Yuntang's life at the moment.
"What about the previous question?" Shen Yuntang asked.
Huo Yuyan was stunned: "What?"
Shen Yuntang seemed to be fooled by his stupid smile again. Huo Yuyan didn't know why his back suddenly tightened. He suddenly realized that their current atmosphere and environment were so bad. If Shen Yuntang wanted to do something, he would be powerless to resist.
Then Huo Yuyan, whose thoughts were in a mess, suddenly froze.
Shen Yuntang pulled the strap of his bathrobe and asked him lazily, "Are you sure you want to have it?"
A real couple with feelings for each other.
Real couple.
real.
…
Huo Yuyan seemed to have received some great shock. He was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly stood up within three seconds, turned over the back of the chair, crawled into the room and slammed the door.
After he closed the door, he hugged himself and squatted behind the door. When he heard Shen Yuntang laughing outside until he was almost out of breath, he suddenly reacted from the huge stimulation and realized that he was wearing pants!
That's right! How could he open the door without pants on?
Shen Yuntang was just trying to scare him! He was playing with him!
Huo Yuyan was still breathing heavily because of the intense emotional ups and downs in such a short period of time. It took him a long while to pull the sides of his bathrobe inside.
I almost lost my innocence.
Shen Yuntang was too bold. He couldn't keep up with her thinking. He wanted to develop into a real couple, but that also had to start with emotional development, not such a fast progress! It wasn't like the academic master's article about marriage first and love later!
And he's not even ready for a relationship, so why did he go straight to the adult channel?
At least you should get to know each other for three to five months, right? You should have a solid emotional foundation before you do this, right?
How can this come directly?
Shen Yuntang was too reckless, too reckless.
He hasn't even had the HPV vaccine.
Huo Yuyan tucked his bathrobe in and was in a daze for a long time, and suddenly he remembered that he should make an appointment.
…
Just in case of emergency.
He had no other ideas.
It’s just like, what if... It’s not that meaning, it’s just like, if... It’s just that I’m afraid...!
Huo Yuyan pulled up his bathrobe to cover his head. He held his head and squatted on the ground for a long time.
After a long time, he stopped hearing Shen Yuntang's laughter, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he paused.
Suddenly he reached out and touched his belly.
He relaxed again. Fortunately, he still gained eight pieces. He hadn't relaxed in his exercise recently.
What if it’s gone after a while?
…
What is he thinking about.
Huo Yuyan pulled his hand away expressionlessly and hugged his head again.
He suddenly remembered that a while ago, after Ms. Tang and Shen Yuntang met for the first time, she called him and told him that Shen Yuntang felt that he was not ambitious enough and that was why she wanted to start her own business.
…
So why does Shen Yuntang think he is not ambitious enough?
What's wrong with that?
Isn't he perfect enough? What's wrong with his looks, figure, ability, education, and acting skills?
Didn’t he say that with his acting skills at the exhibition and his entire outfit, he could be the leading actor in an entertainment industry novel who comes from a mysterious wealthy family.
Huo Yuyan wanted to question her, but he was afraid that she would respond in that tone, and he wouldn't be able to handle it at all.
He really is disappointing.
Huo Yuyan was silent.
The unpleasantness of having an uninvited guest was completely washed away by this moment of embarrassment. Huo Yuyan was alone in embarrassment for a long time and was unable to bite the bullet and leave the room.
But it was almost eight o'clock now, and Shen Yuntang must be sleepy. Should she go back to the Huo residence or... ?
It seems she hasn't eaten yet.
The dishes he prepared had been left there for a long time, and she didn't even bother to check on them.
Huo Yuyan thought about it over and over again and felt uneasy.
He was still shutting himself in when there was a knock on the door behind him.
"Huo Yuyan, come out."
He paused, restored his expressionless and indifferent face, stood up in his bathrobe, and opened the door.
Shen Yuntang said: "The dishes are thrown into the dishwasher. Are you going to let me sleep in the living room?"
Huo Yuyan was stunned.
After a while, he turned his head and saw that she had already finished her share. His thoughts were in vain.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly became serious and said, "It's still early."
Shen Yuntang raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "I don't plan to sleep now."
"So why not work out?" He said, stretching out his arm to show her his fitness area, and his tone suddenly became more positive, "It's so good for the body!"
Huo Yuyan pushed Shen Yuntang's shoulders and strode over. He couldn't help but speak cheerfully, "It's not good to go to bed too early. Not only will you miss the exciting nightlife in Hai City, but you will also feel tired after sleeping for a long time. From now on, Miss Shen should try fitness. It's a good way to kill time and increase energy."
He excitedly pushed Shen Yuntang to the side of the equipment and gave her a try. "Which one do you prefer to practice?"
Shen Yuntang looked at him expressionlessly.
Huo Yuyan's smile subsided sharply.
…
In the end, the ending is that Shen Yuntang is sitting aside reading the CEO's article, while Huo Yuyan is working out again under her supervision, sweating profusely.
After finally ending this ordeal, Huo Yuyan took another bath and numbly looked at himself in the mirror with water dripping down his face.
Miss Shen is too difficult to please.
He leaned on the sink and thought.
…But, if this is what married life is like.
It's not that he can't accept it reluctantly.
Just as Huo Yuyan convinced himself, his cell phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was Miss Shen, who was just separated by a wall. She was too lazy to call him and just sent him a message.
Shen Yuntang: Come here.
Shen Yuntang: I have something to tell you. :D
