Chapter 7

It was too dark last night and I couldn’t see the face of this bastard.

She thought that as the hero of a novel, he should have at least a standard configuration.

I didn't expect Huo Yuyan to be so ugly.

Not only is it extremely ugly, but it's also a dog.

Shen Yuntang could hardly breathe. He hugged the handrail, feeling desolate.

The ex-fiancé was hit on the head by the slipper. He frantically put up an ineffective defense and only lowered his arm after the attack ended. He was very confused and shouted again: "...Tangtang? What are you doing?"

Shen Yuntang suddenly grabbed the railing tightly, his eyes blank as he murmured, "I want a divorce, I want a divorce now..."

Huo Yuyan: "..."

Isn't this a bit too much to take the blame?

Shen Yuntang doesn't recognize him anymore?

He had only been away from home for a month, how happy must Shen Yuntang be? Was she so happy that she forgot about her husband when she couldn't see him?

...Compared to this guess, Huo Yuyan would rather believe another one that is both scientific and outrageous.

…

He suspected that Shen Yuntang might be a patient with multiple personality disorder.

Now it was her second personality that emerged.

…

That seemed to explain everything.

Huo Yuyan was convinced by his own bold assumptions and diligent verification. He pinched his brows, and finally stood up, ending this farce.

He went up to hold his ex-fiancé's shoulders, pushed him back imperceptibly, and said politely: "I think it's inappropriate for you to call my wife Tangtang in front of me."

The ex-fiancé paused, turned to look at him, his face slightly embarrassed.

The one whose expression changed more dramatically was Shen Yuntang.

The last second, she looked desolate and dazed, as if she had lost her soul.

When this voice came out, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised her eyes and took a look.

Then look from top to bottom.

...Even Huo Yuyan couldn't help but hold his ex-fiancé's shoulders tightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

What's that look from Shen Yuntang?

Even when choosing pork at the market, people are not so meticulous.

Then, he clearly saw Shen Yuntang heaved a sigh of relief, patted his chest with lingering fear, and the look of surviving a disaster was written on his face.

Huo Yuyan: "..." He seemed to be happy.

But... with this face, he should be okay... right?

Huo Yuyan didn't know why he suddenly felt a little light-hearted. He forced himself to ignore Shen Yuntang's gaze and pressed his ex-fiancé, saying, "Send him out."

The ex-fiancé's expression changed, "I haven't--"

Before he could finish, the well-trained butler Li stepped forward and pushed him out of the door, then threw the briefcase out.

Then he looked at his nose and his heart, pretending that he had not seen this bizarre dispute, and slowly left.

Only Huo Yuyan and Shen Yuntang were left alone.

The living room fell silent. After a long silence, Huo Yuyan cleared his throat, squatted down, and asked her, "I heard that you don't know my name?"

Not only did I not recognize his name, I also didn’t recognize his face.

Shen Yuntang stared at him and nodded sharply.

“It’s hard to remember.”

"..." He didn't expect her to be so frank. Huo Yuyan thought she would at least be nervous because of his abnormality. He cleared his throat and covered his lips, saying, "...It's actually not that hard to remember."

The atmosphere was too quiet. He paused and tried to explain, "Yu originally means a writing pen, which means writing a chapter."

Shen Yuntang lowered his head: "Okay, Huo Bi."

Huo Yuyan: "..."

He couldn't communicate with Shen Yuntang.

This directly changed his race.

He held back his anger and got to the point in a determined tone.

——"You don't recognize my face either?"

Shen Yuntang raised his head and looked at him again.

Huo Yuyan was squatting on his knees, looking at her.

This person also has a neatly combed back hair, but at least it is not greasy. He has a beautiful hairline, neat sideburns, thick and long eyebrows, a straight nose, and a neat lip line.

The clothes fit him well, the iron-gray shirt and black trousers, there was nothing outrageous about the combination.

...It's okay, it's okay.

Only then did Shen Yuntang compare his voice with the one from last night, luckily it was not that greasy-haired man.

In response to Huo Yuyan's questioning, Shen Yuntang was not at all guilty and was as frank as he could be: "You don't look easy to remember either."

“…………”

Okay. Okay.

Huo Yuyan endured it for the time being, knowing that Shen Yuntang was trying to make up excuses to hide the secret of her dual personality. He could understand that.

He was about to ask who the ex-fiancé was, but Shen Yuntang asked before him, "Who is that greasy-haired guy?"

Huo Yuyan: "..."

Huo Yuyan: "I want to know too."

Shen Yuntang was surprised for a moment, "Aren't you a domineering CEO? Why can't you just send someone to chase him and dig deep into the ground to find out his ancestors for three generations?"

"…Thanks for your high regard. I usually don't break the law."

She nodded, "Then tell me when you break the law."

"There's no such time!"

Huo Yuyan could no longer bear it. He really wanted to see what was going on in Shen Yuntang's mind. Was her brain circuit structure different from that of normal people?

Shen Yuntang suddenly exclaimed "Ah".

The system came to her again.

The anxious system quickly flipped through the contents of the original book in front of her, "See? That greasy-haired guy is her ex-fiancé, her ex-fiancé! He was arranged by the original owner's stepmother!"

She suddenly realized.

After the system was disconnected, she said calmly, "Ah, I suddenly remembered that the greasy-haired guy was my ex-fiancé arranged by my stepmother."

“…”

Huo Yuyan just watched her pretend.

He knew it clearly in his mind. He guessed that Shen Yuntang had gone to question her first personality. Seeing that she didn't blush or feel nervous, it was obvious that this was not her first time.

With her acting skills, she could only fool him.

He paused before asking, "You and your stepmother... have a bad relationship?"

Shen Yuntang: "Did you see from this fiancé that I have a good relationship with her?"

Huo Yuyan: "..."

...Indeed, how could a normal person agree to such an engagement? Besides, the ex-fiancé was a hidden and deceptive psychopath. He had "I am a psychopath" carved on his hairline.

So when Shen Yuntang talked to him about marriage, she didn't mention any conditions other than being away from home and having enough money.

Huo Yuyan could already imagine her past life.

He sighed inconspicuously.

As he lowered his eyes, he saw two rabbit slippers lying on the ground.

Huo Yuyan paused and put his slippers in front of her: "Put on your shoes, let's talk about the garden."

Shen Yuntang frowned her beautiful eyebrows, shrank back with disgust.

"No, I've thrown it past that greasy-haired guy."

Huo Yuyan was silent for half a second, "Then should I ask someone to bring down a new pair of shoes?"

Shen Yuntang then nodded reluctantly.

Huo Yuyan let out a breath and stood up.

After he stood up, he found that Shen Yuntang was still staring at him.

He paused, not quite understanding, "What's wrong?"

"You didn't help me?" Shen Yuntang questioned him, tears beginning to well up in his eyes again.

“…Help, help, help!”

Huo Yuyan resigned himself to his fate and stretched out his hand. Shen Yuntang then confidently put his hand on his arm and helped him up while holding him.

Then she stepped on his shoe.

She was not very tall, and the top of her shoes only touched the tip of his nose.

Huo Yuyan jumped all over and almost lost his balance. He held her arm and said, "Shen Yuntang!"

This person had no intention of being polite to him!

However, Huo Yuyan had no chance to show off his power but show off his weakness.

This time, Shen Yuntang caught his blind spot again. He raised his head and questioned him: "He calls me Tangtang and you call me Shen Yuntang?"

He had never expected this angle, and Huo Yuyan had no idea what sin he had committed.

He took a deep breath and decided to keep the peace. He suppressed his awkwardness and changed the pretentious name to "...Tangtang" in a low voice with gritted teeth.

He got goosebumps after hearing that.

This should satisfy you.

Shen Yuntang suddenly sneered, "Are you worthy?"

Huo Yuyan: "..."

…

Huo Xihuai woke up very early, but he always stayed in his room with a very low sense of presence.

Today he got up early as usual, opened the chemistry competition manual and started to review the exercises.

The neat notebook was filled with calculation methods written in neat and childish handwriting. They were all written when he was fifteen years old.

The test questions have been updated now, and his information is out of touch with the times.

But he still stubbornly used this manual to recalculate and review over and over again.

Until I can recite it by heart.

He hasn't been to school since his father died.

He had huge psychological problems, which became worse under the influence of the ruthless couple at home, until he could not drink a drop of water, lay in bed and attempted suicide, and was sent to the hospital.

Only then did other relatives realize that he was really sick and could no longer stay in that muddy home.

But the older generation still remembered the conflicts of those years, and no one wanted to look at him every day, so they sent him to Huo Yuyan.

Fortunately, Huo Yuyan was there to take him in.

Huo Xihuai is actually very content.

Just having a place to stay was enough, he didn't ask for more.

So in his previous life, he had been enduring Shen Yuntang's torture without saying a word, and by the time Huo Yuyan found out, it was already too late.

Huo Xihuai clenched his pen.

He won't.

Silence is cowardice, not kindness.

He will protect himself and will not let his brother get hurt.

Huo Xihuai was writing down his calculations when he suddenly heard a loud voice coming from downstairs: "Shen Yuntang!"

His pen stopped suddenly.

Brother is back?

What is Shen Yuntang doing again?

Huo Xihuai's heart tightened and he immediately put down his pen, stood up, put on his coat, opened the door and ran out.

He ran down the spiral staircase quickly, his heart beating wildly, terrified of the tense scene he would see.

Huo Xihuai ran to the last corner and leaned out, "Brother!——"

The words haven't finished yet.

The two people downstairs raised their heads at the same time.

They were hugging each other, one of them had tears in his eyes and red eye sockets, looking very aggrieved and pitiful.

One is helpless and is coaxing her.

It is indeed very tense.

Huo Xihuai: “…”

The three of them stared at each other awkwardly for a moment.
