Chapter 6

The housekeeper was waiting anxiously, fearing that the two would start fighting.

He followed Huo Yuyan upstairs and lingered outside the door, hammering his palms.

When he heard the faint crying sound, he didn't dare to think about what was happening inside.

When a loud noise was heard in the room, Butler Li jumped all over and could no longer hold his nerve!

Oh no, they seem to have had a physical conflict!

In order to avoid being held accountable later, Butler Li gritted his teeth and acted as a wise man after the event. He boldly pushed the door open and said, "Sir, the lady is really asleep--"

He soon regretted his cautious approach.

The two people who had already started a fight in his mind were now lying together in an ambiguous posture.

The weak light from the flashlight only revealed a slender figure pressing another person down, grabbing the loosened collar of his shirt, which was very suggestive.

Butler Li took only half a second to close the door again.

After leaving the room, he took rapid breaths for a few seconds before he recovered from the relief of surviving the disaster, straightened himself up, and continued patrolling with a flashlight in his hand.

In the room, the atmosphere became even more tense after being suddenly interrupted and then suddenly returning to silence.

Huo Yuyan's breathing became difficult. He was pressed down by Shen Yuntang, his knees pressing against his thighs, his neck being pinched by his tightly grasped collar, and the entire weight of the other person falling on him. He actually wanted to shout for help.

But who would have thought that Butler Li retreated faster than light.

He wanted to push Shen Yuntang away, but she wouldn't give in. He didn't dare to use any real force, so he could only hold her arms with both hands. He felt like he couldn't explain himself even if he opened his mouth ten times: "It was an accident. I wanted to leave, but something slipped on the ground..."

"You blame me for the slippery carpet?" Shen Yuntang couldn't believe it. "You blame me for this? You bastard!"

Huo Yuyan: "..."

He had never met such a difficult person before, and she almost drove him crazy. Huo Yuyan calmed down in the darkness, raised his head and took a deep breath, and decided to admit his mistake to her first.

"Okay, okay, I'm a dog man," Huo Yuyan said resignedly, "I'm leaving now, can you let me up?"

"No! You haven't even woken me up yet."

Huo Yuyan had already given up. "It's my fault, it's my fault. I shouldn't have woken you up. I won't do it again next time. Can you leave now?"

"You won't let me plant flowers!"

This was like bringing up old scores all at once, and Huo Yuyan couldn't stand it anymore, so he shouted in a low voice: "Shen Yuntang!"

He grabbed the slender wrist of the person in front of him and pushed her down, turning the tables and looking obviously a little angry.

Then Shen Yuntang became quiet.

Huo Yuyan couldn't see her expression in the dark. Everything around him suddenly became quiet and he was a little stunned.

Next, when he realized that Shen Yuntang had stopped talking, he sat there stiffly, feeling a subtle discomfort and a particularly strange sense of uneasiness.

…

Was Shen Yuntang scared by him?

He's not that fierce, right?

...No way?

Are you so timid? You were quite brave just now.

Huo Yuyan asked himself this question for a long time and became even more uncomfortable.

Although Shen Yuntang was a bit clingy, his tone seemed a bit too harsh.

She was already feeling very aggrieved because he had just woken her up, and now that he was being so mean to her, she didn't know how to cry.

It will be even more of a headache then. It is better to speak softly now and comfort her first to avoid bringing up the past later.

Huo Yuyan didn't realize there was anything wrong with his idea and convinced himself that for the sake of family harmony and peace of mind, he had to bend and stretch a second time.

He pursed his lips, overcame his psychological barriers, and patted Shen Yuntang's shoulder lightly.

Shen Yuntang dodged him and turned over.

Huo Yuyan rarely felt that he was tongue-tied. After thinking for a long time, he finally uttered a sentence - "Okay."

As soon as he said that, he felt that he was doomed. This didn't sound like coaxing at all, it was clearly "Have you had enough of the trouble?"

He tightened his fingertips, his mind went blank, and continued: "I am a man after all, I..."

It's too bad, Huo Yuyan, where did he come up with such a stupid statement? Why save face for yourself if you just try to coax people?

What Huo Yuyan was thinking in his heart was, "I'm sorry, just go to sleep," but what he was saying was, "Who am I going to stop arguing with?" It was like his mind and mouth were disconnected.

He angrily scolded himself not to make a big deal out of it, but he couldn't control his mouth and continued to say numbly: "That's what I mean, so..."

"So you're a man?"

Shen Yuntang turned around and glared at him.

Huo Yuyan was stunned.

"Are you a thing?" The girl's voice was sweet and soft. "You pushed me?"

There was an obvious tone of tears in this sentence, and Huo Yuyan suddenly seemed to see a raging fire burning in front of him.

It’s over, I’m in big trouble.

His hands trembled slightly, and then he heard Shen Yuntang continue to ask him: "So what do you want to say, 'I am a man after all', don't touch me, girl really wants to do you a hard job?"

Huo Yuyan: "..."

Huo Yuyan: “?”

He felt a shock and absurdity that was unprecedented in history.

What kind of style is this…?

After a moment, his brain figured out what was going on. He tore off the blankets on his body, stood up, and said in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Huo Yuyan adjusted his buttons and strode away with a sullen look on his face.

Without even glancing at the bed, he strode back to the guest room and tried to turn on the light as usual. After pressing it several times without success, he realized that the housekeeper might have turned off the power.

Huo Yuyan tightened his jaw, and the fingers pressing the switch unconsciously exerted force, so he could only take a shower in the dark.

It was not until his palms rubbed against his ears while washing his hair that he realized that the bases of his ears were slightly warm.

Huo Yuyan paused.

The water flowed down in a rush, and in the darkness, he belatedly realized how his relationship with Shen Yuntang had become like this?

It shouldn't be...

Like every time before, sitting across a long table from each other, don’t you want to see each other?

That was what they agreed upon when they got married.

No matter how much she bothered him, he would not pay any attention to her, and she had no control over anything that happened to him.

If it involves the bottom line, then divorce is the best option.

So the last time Shen Yuntang went too far, he warned him not to cross this line.

So Shen Yuntang stopped.

But when he came back today, she became like this.

Butler Li was right. Shen Yuntang had changed so much that he was even a little confused. Was this the original Shen Yuntang whom he had ignored, or was this the personality that exploded when he was pushed into a corner?

…

What about Shen Yuntang now?

Huo Yuyan just wanted to gasp and say, it's a trouble.

Is this trouble acceptable?

He paused and didn't think any further.

…

There were guests visiting the Huo residence early in the morning.

Huo Yuyan was reading a newspaper downstairs when he heard the call bell outside the yard ring. He signaled someone to open the door, and he folded the newspaper and put it down, waiting for the unexpected guest to come in.

I don’t know who came to visit so early.

After a while, the butler came in with a strange look on his face, "Sir, it's a strange man."

"Don't know him?" Huo Yuyan asked.

The housekeeper nodded awkwardly, looked at him several times, and said awkwardly: "...He said he was Miss Shen's ex-fiancé."

Huo Yuyan: “.”

Without saying anything, you can tell that the two of them are in a "crazy" mood.

In the past, Huo Yuyan would have had no intention of receiving him and would have driven him away without any courtesy. But for some reason, he suddenly felt itchy and wanted to meet this "ex-fiancé" what he was like.

Maybe we can get some clues about the mystery of Shen Yuntang's character change.

Huo Yuyan told himself this.

After the gentleman was invited in, Huo Yuyan's interrogative mood disappeared without a trace.

He had only one thought in his mind.

...No wonder Shen Yuntang wanted to marry him.

It was him, and he also escaped.

The ex-fiancé had a slicked-back hair, a slightly awkward suit, and was carrying a briefcase, but his expression revealed a confidence that transcended external conditions.

This kind of self-confidence cannot be nurtured by reading a few Long Aotian novels.

The ex-fiancé placed his briefcase on the Cornelio Cappellini coffee table, crossed his legs, looked around, hugged his knees and swayed while saying, "It looks like Tangtang married well. If nothing else, at least she's rich now."

Huo Yuyan didn't know how much he had heard. He took the coffee the servant had made for him, held the cup up and politely gestured to him, saying, "She's pretty too."

He took a sip and saw that his ex-fiancé's legs were no longer crossed.

He sneered imperceptibly.

First round win.

But soon, the ex-fiance launched his next offensive.

"Tangtang has had a hard time these years. I understand that she wants to marry into a wealthy family. I just want to send her my blessing and ask her if she still remembers the tree we planted in the countryside three years ago. She said she would marry me when the tree blooms. Unfortunately, the flower has bloomed but I am no longer with her."

Huo Yuyan took another sip of coffee.

His hands trembled with patience.

Finally, he managed to hold back his laughter and didn't laugh out loud, still maintaining that cold face of an elite.

Huo Yuyan began to suspect that he might have been possessed by a demon, which was why he was still sitting here, listening to his ex-fiancé with shabby conditions making some insane and provocative remarks.

His relationship with Shen Yuntang is not good, but at least he has intelligence.

Having seen so many cunning tactics in the business world, he found this kind of trick strange and fresh when he first saw it.

After taking the last sip of coffee, Huo Yuyan’s patience was almost up, and he was ready to send this psychopath away, leaving him with nothing.

At this moment, there were slow footsteps on the stairs, and the ex-fiancé, who was sitting facing the stairs, suddenly widened his eyes. After a while, he shouted in disbelief and as if he had found a treasure: "Tangtang!"

Huo Yuyan almost scrapped the second shirt within 24 hours.

He put the coffee cup down steadily and turned to look.

The girl in pink bunny pajamas walked down the stairs, obviously not fully awake and with sleepy eyes.

After seeing the man coming towards him in the living room, Shen Yuntang suddenly woke up.

Then she stood still on the stairs.

She blinked and looked at the greasy-haired man who was calling her intimately as if in a dream.

I couldn't even get angry anymore, and a strong sense of despair and sadness suddenly surged in my heart.

She should have found a place to crash and die on the first day she entered the book.

Or strangled the man last night.

...Her, Shen Yuntang’s husband, is so, so ugly.

Huo Yuyan just watched her sit down on the stairs holding the handrail as if exhausted.

The ex-fiancé was stunned for a moment, then took a tentative step forward, "...Tangtang?"

"Don't come over here!"

Shen Yuntang shouted angrily, took off his two slippers and threw them at him, "Get out, Huo Yuyan, you bastard!"

Huo Yuyan, who was sitting motionless on the sofa, said: "......?"
