One second, two seconds, ten seconds passed, and just when Li Yining was about to retract his kicked leg, he was grabbed by someone.
She paused, then turned to look at Huo Shen in surprise.
Huo Shen seemed to have returned to that first night, looking at him with gloomy eyes and an intimidating aura.
He slowly approached Li Yining, his hands still holding her jumping feet, and said in a low voice: "Don't want to sleep?"
For some reason, Li Yining suddenly heard some dangerous implication in these words.
She was stunned, and struggled to wrap herself back in the quilt, and said angrily, "Who doesn't want to sleep? Can't you even turn over?"
Huo Shen sneered and said calmly: "I thought you were hinting at me."
Li Yining choked.
She slapped her hot cheeks and said angrily, "Who hinted at you? I wouldn't hint at you no matter who I hint at."
"What did you say?" The dangerous voice sounded in my ears again.
Li Yining froze, realizing that she had said something wrong. But how could she admit defeat at this moment? If she did, she would not be Li Dadan.
She argued back, "What did you say? You didn't hear me clearly, so you blame me?"
The next second, Li Yining changed his position.
Looking at the man hanging above her, she was stunned for a moment.
"Huo Shen!"
Li Yining's cheeks were red, and she looked at him in disbelief: "What do you want to do?"
She subconsciously covered her chest.
Huo Shen paused, looked her up and down, and reminded her in a low voice: "Li Yining, don't forget what our relationship is."
Li Yining was stunned.
She just looked at the man so close to her and became distracted.
yes.
What is their relationship? She enjoyed some of the supplies provided by Huo Shen, but forgot that she actually had some obligations.
She and Huo Shen are husband and wife, even if they have no feelings for each other, they are still husband and wife.
If Huo Shen really wanted to do something to her today, Li Yining seemed unable to resist, and even if she did, it would be futile.
Whatever he does to himself is legal.
Thinking of this, the light in Li Yining's eyes seemed to dim, as if he was ready to be slaughtered.
But it was only a flash, and she regained her momentum.
"I haven't forgotten."
Li Yining raised his eyes and looked at him: "But——"
Facing Huo Shen's eyes that could see through people's hearts, she suppressed the tension in her heart and said softly, "Do we need to proceed step by step?"
"You haven't been back for a year. Do you want to have sex when you come back?" She said, feeling a little embarrassed: "How can such a good thing happen in the world?"
Huo Shen: “…”
To be honest, Huo Shen is not the kind of man who is obsessed with sex. He doesn't even have high demands in this regard, otherwise he wouldn't have not had a girlfriend for so many years.
As for Li Yining, I had no interest in him before, but now——
If Li Yining hadn't just gone too far, Huo Shen wouldn't have wanted to do anything to her.
But now hearing her say this, it seems as if I really want to do the same.
He felt like laughing.
Taking advantage of Huo Shen's distraction, Li Yining pushed him away, rolled back to the edge of his bed, wrapped himself tightly, and said, "I fell asleep."
Huo Shen: “…”
Looking at the stiff body with its back facing him, his tiredness was completely driven away.
Li Yining didn't move. Although he still felt uncomfortable, he didn't dare to move.
It's so scary.
It almost came to a head.
Although she didn't say that she was a chaste woman who would die if she touched her. And if Huo Shen really did something tonight, she didn't seem to mind, but she would feel uncomfortable.
A loveless married life is bound to cause psychological problems for women.
Fortunately, Huo Shen is rational.
Li Yining pursed her lips. If Huo Shen really went too far today, she could just block this bastard.
——
The next morning, the sun shone through the curtains, casting a faint light into the room.
Li Yining turned over and slowly opened his eyes.
I was thinking so much last night that I couldn’t resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
She glanced at the time and saw that it was still early, so she washed up slowly and went downstairs to have breakfast.
What Li Yining didn't expect was that after what happened last night, Huo Shen, that bastard, was actually at home and looked at him indifferently.
Li Yining: …
What are you looking at.
She sat down opposite without changing her expression and enjoyed her breakfast.
After breakfast, Huo Shen left the house, and Li Yining finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Uncle Xu looked at her with amusement: "What's wrong, Madam?"
Li Yining looked at Uncle Xu and couldn't help but said, "Uncle Xu, I still miss the days when you called me Miss."
"That won't do." Uncle Xu said, "You are our wife. As long as there are no outsiders around, you can only call me Madam."
Li Yining: “…”
She couldn't help but sigh, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Where can I find another housekeeper as good as you, Uncle Xu?"
Uncle Xu continued to laugh: "Madam, you already have me as your housekeeper, why would you look for another one? Uncle Xu is angry."
Li Yining chuckled and said quickly, "No, no, I just thought that if I, your wife, leave this home one day, you will be gone, right?"
Uncle Xu was stunned, stared at her for a few seconds and said, "Then Madam, don't leave."
Li Yining said nothing.
Uncle Xu thought about it and felt that he really needed to be busy on both ends in order to see the Huo family's grandchildren born.
Of course, what was more important was that he hoped that the young master whom he had watched grow up could live a happier life.
"Mrs."
"ah?"
Li Yining felt a little scared when he saw Uncle Xu becoming serious.
"What's wrong?"
Uncle Xu looked at her and asked seriously, "Madam, do you dislike your husband?"
Li Yining: “…”
You have noticed all this.
Uncle Xu said calmly, "In fact, many couples have no feelings at the beginning. Feelings need to be cultivated. Although the young master has a cold personality, he is a really good person and treats his wife very well. Madam, do you want to try to understand him?"
He assured: "I think Mr. is much better looking than that fresh-faced guy that you like, Madam."
Li Yining: “???”
Wait a minute——Uncle Xu, you also know that I like young handsome guys!!!
She stared at Uncle Xu with wide eyes.
Uncle Xu understood the meaning of her eyes and nodded: "I know, I am a fan of Madam."
Li Yining: “??? What?”
The two stared at each other for a while, and Li Yining quickly said, "Uncle Xu, I don't! I don't like young handsome guys, that's just chasing stars, you know."
Uncle Xu was very calm: "I know, but my wife still spent tens of millions on the young man."
He paused for a moment and continued to supplement Li Yining: "In the guest inn program, my wife and another male guest..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Yining shouted, "Stop."
She glared at Uncle Xu: "The other male guest and I are just normal colleagues!"
Uncle Xu: "...but I don't think the male guest thinks the same way as his wife does. I even sent a screenshot to my husband."
Li Yining: “???”
She looked at Uncle Xu in disbelief and couldn't help but wail: "Uncle Xu, why do you like surfing the Internet so much!"
Uncle Xu smiled gently, looked at her and said, "Uncle Xu hopes that both the wife and husband can take a step forward and get to know each other better. Who knows, maybe this marriage will actually be a wonderful one, isn't it?"
Li Yining said nothing.
Uncle Xu didn't say any more. Telling Li Yining so much had obviously gone beyond his responsibility as a housekeeper.
It's just that he grew up with Huo Shen. Although he seems to be the housekeeper at home, Li Yining and Huo Shen treat him with respect as if he were an elder.
After Uncle Xu left, Li Yining collapsed on the sofa and thought for a long time.
What Uncle Xu said... actually makes some sense, but - Huo Shen is not good enough, right? !
Li Yining thought of the key point!
Of course, this should be curable. Apart from Huo Shen's shortcoming, it seems that Huo Shen is really suitable as a partner. He is handsome, talented, rich, and... seems to be pretty good to me?
No, no, Li Yining, you can't be persuaded so easily.
Li Yining was lying on the sofa, thinking wildly, but what Uncle Xu said was somewhat true - feelings need to be cultivated.
Not every couple is in love from the beginning. They all go from understanding each other to liking each other and then proceed to the next step.
In fact, she understood what Uncle Xu meant. She didn't want to force them, but she hoped that they could try to understand each other better.
Just as I was thinking about it, Jian Yuanyuan came.
"What are you doing here, looking so sad?"
Li Yining looked at her dimly: "Guess."
Jian Yuanyuan chuckled: "Sorry, I can't guess."
Li Yining stared at her for a while, and suddenly said, "By the way, is there any news about the doctor I asked you to contact last time?"
Jian Yuanyuan was stunned, and quickly said, "Yes, I came here today just to tell you. I have his contact information and have added him on WeChat, but I think it's better for me to push it to you. You can ask your friends to add him and ask him carefully."
Li Yining's eyes lit up: "Okay."
She thinks that nurturing their relationship comes first, and getting Huo Shen cured is the most important thing, right? !
I'll feel a little better if I spend his money and do something for him.
After getting the contact information, Li Yining asked the maid to contact a spa teacher to come to the house, who gave the two of them a full-body massage and spa. They then took a comfortable bath in the hot spring. After the bath, they went out shopping in high spirits.
"What to buy?"
Li Yining's eyes lit up: "Let's buy a few bags and go take a look."
The two entered the store. The name Li Yining meant a top customer, not to mention that he appeared with Jian Yuanyuan. As soon as they entered, they were invited to one side to rest. The clerk introduced them to the latest new models.
Li Yining and Jian Yuanyuan both thought they were good, and they bought several of them generously.
The clerk smiled and looked at the two of them: "Ms. Li, Ms. Jian, we have a new batch of skirts. Would you like to take a look?"
Jian Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows: "Sure."
After a while, Jian Yuanyuan pushed Li Yining to try on a skirt. The colors were like a rainbow, with several colors matched together. The skirt was a short suspender skirt, which looked particularly princess-like.
After a while, Li Yining really changed it out.
Jian Yuanyuan and the shop assistant on the side exclaimed quietly: "Beautiful!!"
The clerk praised her immediately: "Ms. Li has very beautiful legs. This short skirt looks especially good on her."
Li Yining glanced in the mirror, and to be honest he was a little surprised.
She took a look, smiled and said, "I want this skirt."
"Okay, Miss Li."
Jian Yuanyuan took the camera and said, "I'll take a video for you." She couldn't help but say, "We need to let the whole world see how pretty we are."
Li Yining chuckled, his eyebrows curved: "That's enough."
Jian Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows, took a video of her, and posted it directly to her Moments: Come and see how pretty our Li is!!! [Video]
After a few minutes, Li Yining opened WeChat and saw that many people had liked Jian Yuanyuan's post.
Even...she saw a familiar portrait.
"Is this... someone I know?"
Jian Yuanyuan came over to take a look: "Huo Shen."
Li Yining: “…”
Jian Yuanyuan lowered her voice and said, "I told you this skirt suits you. Wear it like this tonight. It will look prettier from a close distance."
Li Yining: "Not very good."
Jian Yuanyuan exclaimed: "What's wrong with that? Will Huo Shen still care about you if you wear a skirt?"
"That won't happen."
Suddenly, Li Yining remembered Uncle Xu's accusation in the morning.
She quickly looked at the clerk and said, "By the way, I want to see men's cufflinks."
The clerk smiled and looked at Mr. Li: "Yes, I'll bring it to Miss Li."
"Um."
After a while, Jian Yuanyuan looked at her cufflinks, one pair at a time, and asked with a choked voice: "What are you doing? Have you done anything to let Huo Shen down?"
Li Yining glared at her: "No."
She said embarrassedly: "I just feel that since I spent so much money, I should buy something for Huo Shen."
Jian Yuanyuan: “…”
In the end, Li Yining even spent a lot of money to buy a watch for Huo Shen.
Jian Yuanyuan could only express her admiration for the way Mr. Li spent money.
At this moment, Huo Shen, who was sitting in the office, naturally saw a long list of consumption information.
He glanced at it indifferently and let it go.
It was as if the millions he spent were not his money at all.
The assistant glanced at her casually and couldn't help but express his admiration for Mrs. Huo.
At the same time, he also expressed his admiration for Mr. Huo who had no reaction.
In the evening, at the suggestion of Uncle Xu, Huo Shen received an inquiry message from his wife.
Li Yining: [What time will you be home?]
Huo Shen raised his eyebrows: [What? ]
Li Yining: [Uncle Xu asked me to ask, and we agreed to decide the time for the chef to cook.]
Huo Shen: [Come back at six o'clock.]
Li Yining: [Oh.]
She raised her eyes and looked at Uncle Xu: "Six o'clock."
Uncle Xu: "Okay, that's the same as usual."
Li Yining: “…”
She complained in her heart that it was just the same as usual and it was unnecessary for her to ask.
When Huo Shen came back, Li Yining was sitting on the sofa reading the script.
After hearing the noise, she looked up at the man who was coming back from get off work. She had to say... Huo Shen in his suit and tie had an indescribable abstinence that made people want to tear off his tie, and then... (unspeakable).
After thinking about it, Li Yining was surprised by himself.
Huo Shen looked at her calmly and said, "Drink some water."
After saying that, he went upstairs, and when he came down, he was wearing home clothes.
After dinner, Huo Shen rarely went to the study. Li Yining watched TV, his eyes vaguely on the man not far away.
I was caught off guard and was caught red-handed.
"You got something to tell me?"
Li Yining thought for a moment and hesitated to speak: "Yes, WeChat communication?"
Huo Shen: “…”
The next second, Huo Shen received a push notification on WeChat, which was a person's contact information.
Li Yining: [Please add this person and note Mr. Huo.]
Huo Shen looked at her in confusion.
Li Yining looked at him with her big, sincere eyes and said, "Add some."
Huo Shen actually didn't want to bother with his little wife's game, but looking at her crystal clear eyes, his hand suddenly moved.
He added.
But the other party hasn't agreed yet.
Seeing Huo Shen send the request, Li Yining felt relieved.
She felt that she would be embarrassed to communicate with the doctor in front of Huo Shen, so she took the script and returned to her room very considerately.
Thirty minutes later, Li Yining was engrossed in reading the script when the door was suddenly pushed open.
She subconsciously raised her eyes and looked over, meeting Huo Shen's eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became nervous as she looked at Huo Shen who was approaching her step by step: "Huo Shen...what are you doing?"
Huo Shen sneered and closed the door. He still held the phone in his hand, and his low and hoarse voice echoed in the room: "What do you mean by letting me be this person? Do you think I'm not capable?"
Li Yining subconsciously stepped back, his eyes flickering: "...It is..."
She lowered her head, thinking about how to explain: "Huo Shen, this problem is not a big deal. Medical care is so advanced now... and you are so rich, see what's wrong?"
She thought about the descriptions in the original novel and couldn't help but say, "This doctor is not seeing you face to face, and he won't reveal any of your information, so there's nothing wrong with saying it."
At least that's what Li Yining thought.
It is indeed embarrassing for a man to have this disease, especially for a successful man like Huo Shen, who certainly does not want others to know about it.
So Li Yining communicated with the person in advance and was not allowed to ask for the name, but only the situation, and then talk about it only if he thought the person was reliable.
But she didn't expect Huo Shen to be so angry? !
Hearing this, Huo Shen sneered.
He asked: "What kind of illusion is this——" Huo Shen paused and looked down at his wife: "Does it make you think I'm not good enough?"
Hearing this, Li Yining looked up in surprise, and finally realized the meaning of these words.
Her pupils widened, and she raised her hands and asked, "Wait--"
Li Yining took a breath and said, "You... can't do it?"
Huo Shen's eyebrows paused for a moment, and he leaned forward slightly. His slender fingers slowly unbuttoned his clothes, and his hoarse voice filled with anger rang in Li Yining's ears: "You'll know whether I can do it or not later."
