Chapter 2: After the Book



The soundproofing function of the mobile phone was not very good to begin with, and the woman's voice was deliberately raised, so the two sentences just spoken happened to be heard by the man at the door.

The room of more than 200 square meters fell into deathly silence. Li Yining didn't even dare to breathe too hard. His face was frozen and he didn't move.

The person on the other end of the phone didn't get a response from her, so he quickly called her twice: "Ning Ning! Are you listening to me?"

"Where are they? Where did they go?"

"You're not in bed right now, are you? You need me to save you—"

Li Yining finally reacted and hung up the phone in a panic.

The room suddenly became quiet.

She clutched her phone, not daring to look up.

Huo Shen glanced at the woman on the bed, and the darkness in his eyes had long disappeared.

He sneered. It was rare to see Miss Jiaozong looking so embarrassed. His expression paused slightly, and Huo Shen walked past her and went straight inside.

Li Yining secretly raised his head and opened one eye to observe the man with his back to him.

It seems... not angry?

But I shouldn’t do that. My wife has said that she wants to save her virginity for other men. Any man should be angry, right?

Unless this man is not capable.

Li Yining tried hard to recall the plot, but after thinking for a long time she still couldn't remember any description of this man in bed in the original novel.

It was as if he had been living the life of an ascetic monk, with nothing in his heart.

His character in the novel has always been the top one that everyone pursues, and no one can reach him. Even the male and female protagonists have to call him "Master Huo" respectfully when they see him.

At that time, Li Yining was wondering, why couldn't such a peerless man be the male lead?

Now she understood, maybe he was not good in bed, so the author had to find a popular young actor to be the male lead. After all, a man who is not good can't be the male lead no matter how good he is, right? !

But she couldn't understand why the hero didn't get treatment when modern technology was so advanced and the hero was so rich?

Li Yining was thinking wildly and was full of sympathy for Huo Shen.

Suddenly, she thought of the original owner's "transference to another person", and she became more determined in her thoughts. It must be that this man could not give the original owner the sex life she wanted, otherwise who would be willing to give up such a peerless man!

As soon as Huo Shen turned his head, he met the unspeakable look of his arrogant little wife...that look seemed to be full of pity and sympathy for him.

He felt like a poor insect wandering on the street, waiting to be warmed up. When he thought of this, his eyelids twitched.

"That..." Li Yining looked at him, who was now emitting a "maternal aura" from head to toe. "What are you looking for? Do you need my help?"

Although I may not be able to find it.

Huo Shen looked at her quietly for a few seconds and said coldly: "No need."

Li Yining didn't care too much about the man's indifference and nodded: "Okay, take your time to look for it."

Huo Shen: “…”

Li Yining was just asking out of courtesy and didn't really want to help.

She looked at the people walking around in the room, her legs crossed, leisurely watching the TV variety show on the big screen. She quite liked the show and was enjoying it very much.

This was the scene Huo Shen saw when he found his things in the glittering cloakroom.

His wife, who never showed her teeth when she smiled and who didn't eat anything except after dinner, was laughing on the bed, with a lollipop in her hand... in her hand?

Following Huo Shen's line of sight, Li Yining looked down at the candy in her hand. She carefully guessed the man's thoughts and asked suspiciously, "Do you want to eat it?"

Huo Shen: “…”

Li Yining licked it and exclaimed, "Ah!" "But there is no more. I found this at the maid's place. There is only one left."

After dinner, Li Yining took the opportunity to chat with the servant and took away a lollipop.

She couldn't understand why such a wealthy family had no snacks!

You know, snacks are a perfect match for watching TV!

Huo Shen's expression paused slightly, and his eyes darkened as he looked at his wife, whose temperament had changed drastically after not seeing her for half a year.

He is not stupid, he is even smarter than most people. Huo Shen was thinking - is his little wife deliberately trying to arouse his interest in this way, or is she trying to save the country in a roundabout way and trying to disgust him in this way?

After all, she had already proposed divorce last time.

Suddenly, thinking of the phone call just now, Huo Shen's face darkened and he immediately dismissed the first thought.

——

Li Yining didn't know what the man was thinking, and his expression changed again and again.

She finished the lollipop quietly as a chicken, and the man had already gone into the bathroom.

After hearing the sound of water, Li Yining's body stiffened.

Holy shit, it’s over! How come she forgot to ask for separate sleeping rooms??!

Li Yining rolled himself into the quilt and thought, what if Huo Shen wanted to sleep in the same bed with him later?

Although the bed is three meters wide, it wouldn't be a problem even if they slept together, but Li Yining still felt uncomfortable!

Is this the kind of stimulation she needs to be given on the first day?

When I read novels in the past, she kept saying that she wanted to give me a perfect man who must be tall, handsome, rich and good at work, but sometimes... she panicked.

Not to mention - this man is not a good worker.

And more importantly, Li Yining has no feelings for this man.

Can you do things without feelings? Others may be able to do so, but Li Yining, as a newly graduated college student, is still full of longing for love, so she thinks it is not possible.

She doesn't want to cheat on her husband or anything, but she also wants to go through the normal divorce process and have her freedom!

However——

Li Yining thought that the original owner was divorced because she did many things that ruined the family tradition. She didn't want that, so how could she get divorced?

That's a really good question.

It would definitely not work if she took the initiative to propose it. Not to mention whether the male protagonist would agree, the elders of the two families would not allow it first.

Being born into a wealthy family also has its own difficulties.

Li Yining lifted the quilt and looked at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, then at the extra-large-screen TV on the side and the antique vases that were out of reach. He suddenly felt that... his previous thoughts were wrong. It didn't seem that it was that difficult to be born into a wealthy family.

Suddenly, she heard a sound.

Li Yining turned his head and what came into view was a face so handsome that it would make people fall for him. His hair was messy and messy, with water dripping from the ends of his hair, which was flowing down his chin and then disappearing... disappearing into his dark pajamas.

As he watched, Li Yining swallowed subconsciously.

If this man wasn't so bad, she would really have some ideas just based on his looks.

Huo Shen pretended not to notice the gaze following him and walked straight to the edge of the bed. As his hand just touched the quilt, Li Yining suddenly jumped up from the bed.

She raised her hands and looked at the man in surprise: "Wait——"

Huo Shen raised his eyelids and looked at her coldly.

Li Yining endured the pressure of the gazes and fought for the last bit of space for himself.

"You want to sleep here?"

Huo Shen chuckled, looked at his angry wife, and asked, "Where else can I sleep if not here?"

Li Yining choked.

She pursed her lips and quickly used her smart little brain: "... at home... there are still many empty rooms at home."

Huo Shen curled his lips and smiled, suddenly becoming interested.

In just a few moments, Huo Shen had figured it out. Since his little wife wanted to make trouble, it would be okay for her to cooperate.

"Really?" Huo Shen looked at her and reminded her word by word: "But we are husband and wife."

Li Yining: “…”

Before she could react, Huo Shen had already lifted the quilt and lay down in.

Li Yining paused and gave up the struggle.

She silently moved to the side and lay down close to the edge of the bed. The bed was too big, and for a moment she couldn't feel the man's breath.

The lights in the room were dimmed, and the air was filled with a scent that didn't belong to me.

Maybe it was because he had never slept with a man before, or maybe it was because he had just traveled through time and had a lot on his mind. Li Yining struggled for a long time but couldn't fall asleep.

She tossed and turned in bed, and her sleeping position became naturally restless.

When she turned over for the Nth time, a pair of hands reached out from one side.

Li Yining's eyelids twitched, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw a handsome face hidden in the night.

He approached, looking at her in the dim light, his pupils deep, his voice deep: "Want it?"

Li Yining: “…………”

"???"

She widened her eyes and looked at the man in surprise.

Huo Shen thought he was right. He looked tired and whispered, "Just bear with it for now. I'll give it to you tomorrow."

After saying that, he let go of Li Yining and lay back in his seat.

Li Yining was quiet for a few minutes, then suddenly blurted out, "Who wants it?!"

Does she look like she wants it? ?! She just couldn't sleep and turned over!

Besides, can she ask him to do it? !

Huo Shen had been filming for half a year in a hurry, and had taken several hours by plane and car to come back. He must be really sleepy now.

Hearing this, he did not refute his young wife's words. He just moved his eyelids and fell asleep.

There was no response from the room for a long time, Li Yining did not dare to move anymore, he just lay there stiffly. In the end, he did not know when he fell asleep.

——

The next morning, the light was dim.

Li Yining was awakened by the ringing of her cell phone. She reached out her hand and fumbled on the bed for a long time. She moved to the edge of the bed and finally touched the cell phone.

"Hello?"

She had just woken up and her voice was hoarse.

"Ningning?"

Li Yining said "hmm" in confusion: "It's me."

"Are you still asleep?" A cautious female voice came from the other end: "Were you tortured last night?"

Li Yining was stunned, then opened his eyes quickly.

She regained consciousness and realized where she was. She coughed and was choked by the words on the other end of the phone.

"What happened?" She glanced at the caller ID, which read "Jian Yuanyuan" in large letters.

Li Yining had the impression that it was mentioned in the original book that Jian Yuanyuan was the only friend who was truly kind to the heroine, and the two were also sisters who grew up together.

That phone call last night... happened to be from Jian Yuanyuan.

Li Yining became anxious when he thought of the predicament he encountered last night.

She cleared her throat and whispered, "I just woke up and my throat is dry."

Jian Yuanyuan seemed to understand: "Is that so?" She stretched out the last syllable of her words, clearly not believing it.

"By the way, what are you calling me about?"

Jian Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered the importance of this call: "Were you not online yesterday? You were scolded so badly on the Internet. I asked someone to remove the hot searches scolding you, but it seems that it backfired. How do you plan to deal with it now? Does Jiang Yuan need me——"

"No need." Li Yining understood what she meant. She smiled and said seriously, "No need for Jiang Yuan. Do you have anything to do today?"

"Ah? You don't want Jiang Yuan anymore?"

Li Yining lay on the bed with his legs crossed and said briskly, "No more."

"Why?"

Li Yining thought about it and decided that the best persuasive reason now was to bring up her husband, otherwise Jian Yuanyuan wouldn't believe it.

She looked around and saw that the room was empty, so she said boldly, "Because I found that my husband seems to be better than Jiang Yuan."

Jian Yuanyuan: "...Are you sure?"

Li Yining was talking nonsense, very unpleasantly saying: "I am very sure, my husband is rich and powerful, handsome and good at work——"

She was just blowing a stream of flattery when she was suddenly met with a cold face. In an instant, all the words Li Yining wanted to say were stuck in her throat.

The two of them looked at each other, and Li Yining slowly finished his last sentence: "Why should I like Jiang Yuan? I'm not really blind."

Hearing the last sentence, Huo Shen's lips curled up a little, but quickly suppressed it.

The author has something to say: Male protagonist: How come my little wife has two faces?

Mini-theater:

After they were together, Huo Shen expressed through his actions the compliments Li Yining had once given him.

At the end, he did not forget to ask: Are you satisfied?

Li Yining nodded sadly with tears in her eyes: OK... (It's so good that it's good enough for her grandmother!! Why does she think this man is not good enough?!

She hates the original author!!!

Let me reiterate: this is a sweet and silly story about rich people [The author is not rich, and doesn’t really understand the lives of rich people, so don’t delve into some of the small details (let the author dream!!! Please!!!
