Chapter 5

The housekeeper hates the fact that the microphone on this mobile phone is of such good quality!

However, now that things have come to this, he could only relay the story with tears in his eyes: "Ms. Shen, the master said he will be back tonight."

Shen Yuntang was finally appeased by Huo Yuyan's attitude. He nodded and said with a little pride, "He is sensible."

Butler: “…” He would rather he had never existed.

Huo Yuyan paused and put down the phone.

After picking up the document again and reading two pages, he suddenly remembered that Butler Li seemed to have called him before. What did he say?

It seems that Shen Yuntang has changed?

Now it seems that it has really changed.

The courage has become fatter.

Although Shen Yuntang had been a bit naughty before, after being scolded by him once, he was afraid of losing his pocket money, so he never dared to act like that in front of him again.

It’s not like today, when they even come to our door.

That little bit of self-centeredness, tsk.

Huo Yuyan was immersed in his work and forgot about her in a blink of an eye.

By the time he finished the work at hand, it was already dark. His department director knocked on the door and came in, smiling at him as he stood up and straightened his collar, "Boss Huo, there's a party today, are you going too?"

Their group recently won a major project, and they were the most sought-after contributors. In the past, whenever Huo Yuyan was invited to set up a project, he would never refuse, giving them enough face.

Therefore, this time he was just here for the formality. He had already arranged a drinking party in private and arranged for someone to accompany him, just waiting for Mr. Huo to agree.

Huo Yuyan paused, looked at his watch, and remembered that he had to go home tonight.

I couldn't help but have a headache.

He felt that if he didn't go back, his family would dig up the eighty-year-old yard.

Besides, he has always been a man of his word. He had already promised, so between eating at home and eating out, he chose the former.

So he said calmly: "No, I have to go home today."

The department director who was happily opening the door for him: "...Ah?"

The smug expression just stayed on his face.

Mr. Huo is going home?

You must be kidding.

Everyone knows that Huo Yuyan's wife has a very bad temper and is very irritating. She makes him not want to stay at home for a day and he has to buy a house outside.

In the circle of wives, Mrs. Huo is a joke. She has no family background and is not liked by her husband. She can be said to be an empty shell.

Many people laughed at her behind her back, wondering how such a good-for-nothing person could marry Huo Yuyan. She was really lucky.

As Huo Yuyan's subordinates, they knew very well how much Huo loved his family.

It's the point where I wish I could never go back and wander around the world.

Why do you suddenly want to go home today?

The department director felt a little uncomfortable, thinking of those little stars who had stuffed a lot of benefits into his hands, and forced a smile, "Boss Huo, are you kidding us? I get it, Boss Huo doesn't like drinking parties, let's arrange something more elegant tonight..."

"No need." Huo Yuyan pressed the elevator button, "My wife and I have something to do, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you."

The metal elevator door that reflected the person's shadow clearly closed in front of him.

The department director nearly bumped his head against the elevator door and stared blankly at his own reflection, still immersed in a huge sense of absurdity and panic.

Mr. Huo...really...went home?

For his wife...he went home???

How is that possible?

As he walked into the spacious elevator with his suit jacket rolled up, Huo Yuyan was still thinking, he hadn't seen him for a month, and wondered how many chefs the man at home had changed.

He let out a long breath.

It was almost eight o'clock when he arrived at Huo's house. He hadn't been home for so long that the building looked strange to him.

There was no one in the yard and it was very quiet. I wonder if Shen Yuntang was in a bad mood again.

Huo Yuyan pressed the password, and after a few beeps, the door lock opened and a bright light came in.

He loosened his collar, casually hung his coat on the hanger, changed his shoes and went in. There was no one downstairs, Huo Yuyan restrained himself from speaking, walked into the kitchen, and poured himself a glass of water.

At this moment, with a "click", all the lights in the house went out in an instant.

Huo Yuyan choked on a mouthful of water and half of the cup spilled onto his clothes.

What is this? The Ring?

He looked at the darkness around him in disbelief. Was Shen Yuntang planning to take revenge on him with this kind of welcome?

He wiped the water stains off his face, turned around to look for the switch, but suddenly saw the housekeeper with a flashlight.

“……!”

Huo Yuyan was so scared that he almost punched him.

Fortunately, the butler spoke in time, lowering his voice in surprise and saying, "Sir, you are back?"

He turned the flashlight in his hand and pointed it at the elderly face.

Huo Yuyan: "..."

Huo Yuyan: "Talk nicely, don't turn on the light."

The butler quickly turned off the lights, and the surroundings fell into darkness again, just like the night when old Frank was killed by Voldemort.

Huo Yuyan finally regained his composure and asked him, suppressing his annoyance, "What's going on again? Celebrating Qingming Festival in advance?"

The housekeeper's voice came faintly: "Miss Shen said she wants to go to bed at eight o'clock for her beauty sleep, so there can't be a single light on in the room."

"..." Huo Yuyan was silent, brewing his words for a long time before his gnashing of teeth was not so obvious, "When did she say that?"

"today."

“…”

Is there any other reason for this besides targeting him?

Huo Yuyan wiped the water stains on his cheeks, suppressed his anger, and said, "I'll go talk to her."

"Hey, hey, sir..." The housekeeper was unable to stop him and complained, "Miss Shen is already asleep..."

Seeing that Huo Yuyan was certain that Shen Yuntang was competing with him, the butler knew that he couldn't explain it clearly. He could only hope that Miss Shen would be more cautious in losing her temper and not bring harm to him, a loyal bystander.

Shen Yuntang was sleeping soundly.

As soon as she fell asleep, the system that had disconnected from her came back and asked her cautiously, "How does it feel to be in a book?"

Shen Yuntang stared at it. It was still that incredibly beautiful face, even sweet. But it made the system inexplicably scared.

"...Well, let's talk it over nicely. You will stay in this world for many years, and we will be together for a long time. Let's talk it over nicely, ha..."

Will you stay for many more years?

Wouldn't she have to live like this for a long time?

Shen Yuntang felt so aggrieved that she had long wanted to curse this broken system, but just as she was about to start, the system was disconnected again.

In the darkness, someone strode to the bed, causing the mattress to sink slightly.

Her wrist was held, and someone suppressed his anger and asked in her ear, "Shen Yuntang, what do you want to do?"

The still sleepy Shen Yuntang was awakened by his careless movements.

Subconsciously, I took a deep breath and pulled my wrist back, but it didn't twitch.

Only then did she realize that someone had been acting rudely while she was asleep.

Shen Yuntang opened her eyes and saw a tall figure leaning down, as if he was about to wake her up.

Her eyes were still a little hazy, and she was so sleepy that she couldn't help yawning and couldn't believe it.

Do you have to wake her up even when she's sleeping?

Is this the life people live?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She was almost about to cry!

What a miserable life! After entering this book, I can't even sleep!

She was so angry that she pushed the bastard.

She didn't have much strength and couldn't push it at all. Instead, Huo Yuyan grabbed her wrist and frowned at her: "What are you doing?"

She slapped him with her backhand.

With a crisp "pop" sound, it hit the man's jaw.

But the force was weak. Huo Yuyan just tilted his head slightly and then froze.

Shen Yuntang...what are you doing?

Are you beating him?

Huo Yuyan was still in shock when he heard the person in the bed sobbing.

The more she cried, the more she felt wronged. She watched him cry while she kept yelling, "You bastard!"

"I can't even sleep!"

"What's the point of being your wife? Is it just for you to bully me?"

She sniffed, paused, and held Huo Yuyan's sleeve to wipe her tears. After wiping, she threw his arm back in disgust and pushed him hard, "Get out! Get out!"

Huo Yuyan was pushed 0.1 centimeters by her. He was still in shock and had not yet recovered from Shen Yuntang's reaction.

After failing to expel him, Shen Yuntang gave up and hit him angrily.

"Why are you like a pig?"

Not only was he heavy, but he also didn't cooperate with her.

In the past, anyone who dared not cooperate would be beaten by Shen Yuntang.

Thinking of this, she felt even more aggrieved, and she buried herself in the quilt and started crying again.

Huo Yuyan cried in shock, bewilderment and confusion.

The first question that lingered in my mind for a long time was what happened to Shen Yuntang?

The second question is what is Shen Yuntang doing?

She cried so hard that Huo Yuyan forgot to be angry. He couldn't help but reach out and touch her forehead.

Not hot, very normal.

His hand lifted Shen Yuntang's bangs. Shen Yuntang paused, became even angrier, looked up and pushed him hard again, turned around, pulled the quilt and lay down to cover herself.

Even the little bulge says "I'm angry."

Huo Yuyan was frozen for a long time.

Suddenly I felt a little ridiculous and slowly touched my forehead.

Is he crazy? Is it because of Shen Yuntang?

Why did I feel for a moment that she was... a little cute?

Huo Yuyan quickly shook off this frightening idea.

After Shen Yuntang made such a fuss, he didn't know how to tell her or what to say.

He suspected that if he heard him make another decibel of noise, Shen Yuntang would start kicking the quilt and kicking him.

How about we talk about it tomorrow?

The efficiency maniac Huo Yuyan had an unprecedented idea.

After being silent for who knows how long, Huo Yuyan, who hadn't come to any conclusion, sighed helplessly and stood up.

Not knowing what the fancy things were on the ground, Huo Yuyan just straightened up when he suddenly slipped.

Years of agility enabled him to quickly grab something to support himself, and he soon fell onto the bed. Although the incident was sudden, he was not too embarrassed.

The mattress bounced noticeably. Huo Yuyan held his breath, tugged at his collar, and sat up carefully.

I hope Shen Yuntang won’t mind it.

However, Tang did not get what he wanted.

She suddenly opened the quilt, grabbed Huo Yuyan's collar, pressed him down with her elbow, strangled his neck, glared at him and asked: "Why don't you get out!"

It was really like when it rains it pours. Huo Yuyan's head was about to explode. Just as he was trying to explain, the door that had not been closed was pushed open.

"Sir, Miss Shen is really asleep--"
