There were only two small lights on in the room. Li Yining didn't like rooms that were too bright, so he didn't turn on the luxurious chandelier worth millions when he came in.

But now, she regrets it.

At this moment, the lights in the room were dim, as if hinting at something. Not to mention what Huo Shen had just said.

Looking at the man's bony fingers, Li Yining was distracted for a few seconds.

It was not until...she saw more and more scenery in her eyes that she suddenly came to her senses.

"no!"

Li Yining suddenly jumped up from the bed and made a final struggle.

"Huo Shen, please listen to my explanation."

Her eyes widened with shock and horror.

Huo Shen chuckled and looked at her current movements: "Explain what?"

As he spoke, he grabbed Li Yining's hand. After feeling dizzy, she was pressed down on the bed with her wrists tightly held by the man.

Li Yining: “…”

At this point, she finally realized how serious the consequences of saying a man is not good enough were.

"That's just... I didn't mean that." She wanted to cry but had no tears. She really felt that she was stupid. Huo Shen had teased her last night, but she didn't take it seriously at all.

At this moment, Li Yining really wanted to beat himself up for being nosy.

Huo Shen sneered and lowered his head to approach her: "Really?" He looked at the struggling woman under him, his eyes filled with not only anger but also a bit of unspeakable desire.

He held Li Yining's wrist with one hand and pinched her chin with the other. When he was about to touch the corner of her lips, someone's cell phone rang in the room.

The sound was extremely harsh, interrupting the original atmosphere in the room.

Li Yining's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Phone, answer it first."

Huo Shen paused for a moment, as if he was not very interested in the phone call.

He leaned over, and just as his lips brushed Li Yining's cheek, Li Yining's voice suddenly softened and she called out, "Husband."

Huo Shen didn't move.

Li Yining changed his strategy, put his arm around his neck, and looked at him with sparkling eyes: "Can you answer the phone first?"

The two looked at each other in silence until the cell phone rang, stopped, and rang again. Only then did Huo Shen let go of the hand that was holding her, smiled sarcastically, and stood up to leave.

Then the man left the room with his cell phone.

After watching Huo Shen leave, Li Yining's tense body suddenly relaxed.

She exhaled, collapsed on the bed, and shook her wrist that had just been pressed and hurt. Li Yining suddenly found that there was still a little red mark on her wrist, which was caused by Huo Shen when he was angry just now.

She pressed her arms against her eyes, thinking about what had just happened.

After walking out of the room, Huo Shen said "Hello" in a cold voice.

Lin Shunbin felt something was wrong when he heard the voice, but he had to give back to his colleagues.

"Boss Huo, something happened at the branch office."

Huo Shen raised his eyelids and went into the study: "Speak."

Lin Shunbin quickly reported the situation and whispered, "There is no way they can handle it, so I can only ask you for instructions."

Hearing this, Huo Shen hummed, "Let's stabilize the victim's family first, and we'll discuss the rest in the meeting."

"yes."

He turned on his computer directly, and within five minutes, all the company's leaders gathered together for a lengthy meeting.

By the time everything was arranged, it was already midnight.

Huo Shen glanced at the time, pinched his brows, and leaned back in his chair to rest.

As soon as he closed his eyes, a pair of panicked eyes appeared in front of him. He paused slightly and sneered.

Still afraid.

But even though he was scared, Li Yining's brain was still working well.

She knows how to seize opportunities and extricate herself from certain predicaments.

——

Huo Shen was in no hurry to return to his room. He sat alone in the study for a long time. After his mind became clearer, he opened the door and walked in.

Unexpectedly, he saw the woman sitting cross-legged on the sofa.

The two looked at each other, and Huo Shen walked past her and went straight to the bathroom.

"Huo Shen." Li Yining was actually very sleepy, but she didn't dare to sleep. It was not because she was afraid that Huo Shen would do something to her again, but because she felt that some misunderstandings had to be explained clearly, otherwise the situation would only get worse.

Li Yining is not a hypocritical person.

It should be said that most of the time she was fine and not pretentious. At that moment, she was indeed a little scared by Huo Shen. Even though she thought in her heart that Huo Shen would not do anything to her, she was still afraid.

She didn't understand, since Huo Shen was not physically ill, why the original author had been misleading everyone!

Or is it that she is overthinking? !

Li Yining is so angry!!

If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have been so reckless in introducing that kind of doctor to Huo Shen.

But Li Yining couldn't tell Huo Shen that he acted like this because someone said he was not good in that aspect.

When Huo Shen asks her who she is later, she won't be able to answer a shit.

The best way is to explain the misunderstanding clearly, although Li Yining thought that Huo Shen didn't want to listen to her bullshit explanation.

"Can you listen to my explanation?" Li Yining, as expected of a graduate of the Academy of Drama, had slightly reddened eyes.

She blinked with her beautiful almond eyes and looked at Huo Shen aggrievedly: "I'm just kidding, I don't really think you can't do it."

At this moment, dignity and truth were no longer important to Li Yining. She had to lie to get over this matter first.

Thinking about it, she could only drag her best friend down with her.

"Actually, I just lost a bet with my friends, and their condition was that I should recommend this WeChat account to you."

She said pitifully, "I have no choice. I have to admit defeat. I can't be a person who can't afford to lose. If I go out like this, I will lose face for you. How can I survive in this circle?"

Seeing Huo Shen's slightly relieved expression, Li Yining continued to exaggerate: "Because I know this matter will make you angry, I specially bought an apology gift."

She wiped away the tears that had not fallen: "In the end, you didn't even listen to my explanation, and just came up and wanted to..."

Huo Shen looked at the expression of his young wife. She had her brows lowered and her scattered hair covered half of her face, so it was difficult to see much of her expression.

But for some reason, Huo Shen felt as if he was not a real person when he heard her accusations, and he didn't even want to listen to her explanation.

But let me ask you, which man can tolerate being suspected by his wife like this?

At least he can't.

Of course, he didn't really want to do anything to her during marriage. He grew up in an unhappy family and had long since lost interest in marriage.

For a family like theirs, marriage is an obligation to be fulfilled.

Even so, he still insisted on mutual consent. If Li Yining was not willing, he would not force it.

Just now, I was blinded by anger.

But Huo Shen knew that even if he continued to kiss her, he would stop as long as Li Yining resisted strongly.

…

The room fell silent.

Li Yining's accusations were still ringing in his ears. Huo Shen stood there without moving. After Li Yining finished speaking, he secretly glanced at the man not far away.

As luck would have it, I was caught red-handed.

“…”

Li Yining felt something was wrong and tried to cover it up: "I..."

"What gift?"

"ah?"

Huo Shen pretended not to see it, walked slowly towards her, and asked in a low voice: "Gift."

Li Yining's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Cufflinks and a watch." She didn't care about why Huo Shen suddenly believed her, or why Huo Shen suddenly became so easy to talk to. She held up the gift box that had been prepared long ago and opened it: "These are all bought for you."

In front of me are five pairs of cufflinks from two different brands. The styles of each pair are actually somewhat similar, but the details are different. There are black and dark blue colors, which look particularly exquisite.

On the other side, a poster-style watch was opened. Huo Shen glanced at it and was quite surprised.

The watch had just been launched on the market, and only five pieces were produced in China. Although the price was not very expensive, the style was novel. He happened to see it in a magazine yesterday, and before he had time to ask his assistant to place an order, his wife bought it for him.

Li Yining carefully observed Huo Shen's expression, and after seeing his relaxed look, he gradually felt relieved.

"Do you want to try it?"

Flattery must be done to the extreme.

Huo Shen looked at the excitement in her eyes and nodded, "Okay."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand.

Li Yining: “?”

She was stunned and said quickly, "Okay, I'll try the watch on you, and you can try the cufflinks tomorrow."

"Um."

To be honest, this is the first time Li Yining has put a watch on a man.

She was quite skilled at wearing it herself, but when it came to serving others, she found it a little inconvenient.

Huo Shen's wrist was much hotter than hers, and was as hard as a man's. Her fingers accidentally touched that part of his skin, and she felt her fingertips getting hot.

Holding down his heart which was beating faster all of a sudden, Li Yining trembled as he finally put it on Huo Shen.

She quickly took a small step away, and said with a frown: "Take a look, do you still like it?"

Huo Shen took a look and had to say that she had good taste.

“Not bad.”

Hearing this, Li Yining became even happier.

"Is my vision still okay?"

Huo Shen glanced at her and said nothing.

Li Yining paused, then shut up.

Don't get too complacent, that's a bad idea.

Huo Shen looked at her restrained expression and felt that his wife's expression changed faster than he imagined.

He coughed and asked in a low voice, "Is this all you bought today?"

"Um."

“Didn’t buy anything for yourself?”

Li Yining was stunned for a moment, and just when he was about to say that he had bought it, Huo Shen asked, "Is the card not valid?"

He said, "Ask your assistant to get you a new one tomorrow."

Li Yining suppressed the corner of his mouth that was about to curl up, and pretended to be calm and responded: "Yeah."

Don't be a fool if you have a card!!!

Huo Shen glanced at the corners of her mouth that tried to suppress a smile but failed, and said lightly: "No need to hide it."

After saying that, he went into the bathroom.

“……???”

Li Yining looked at the man's disappearing back, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Ahhhhh so happy!!

She just likes the style of a domineering president like Huo Shen!

If she had known that giving Huo Shen a gift worth a few million would get her a card, she would have given it to him long ago!!! Li Aiqian Yining thought so.

——

That night, the two of them once again spent time together in peace.

But something seemed to have quietly changed between the two of them.

Li Yining didn't know whether Huo Shen believed the nonsense she said that night, but at least Huo Shen didn't bother with her anymore, which was a good thing.

She had no idea what Huo Shen was thinking deep inside.

The reason why Huo Shen didn't bother with her was that he thought there was still a long way to go.

Don't be in a hurry.

Since his wife wants to act, it's okay for her to cooperate. It just so happens that Mr. Huo's life has been a bit boring recently, so it would be good to have some more fun.

In the next few days, Li Yining rested at home, eating, drinking and sleeping every day, and occasionally participated in small gatherings of socialites, drinking afternoon tea with a group of people, chatting about the latest jewelry and so on.

For example, now, she was sitting among a bunch of people who said one thing and meant another, listening to them bragging about the deep love between her and Huo Shen.

"Ningning, Mr. Huo is so nice to you." A girl with short hair said, "I heard from a friend that Mr. Huo opened a supplementary card with unlimited credit at the bank. Is it for you?"

Li Yining listened to this and glanced at the man's expression: "Yes."

"Really?" one of them asked, "My husband never opens a supplementary card for me with unlimited credit, saying he's afraid I'll spend money recklessly. So Mr. Huo is better."

The smile on the short-haired girl's face froze. She didn't expect that the card was really for Li Yining. She just heard about it and wanted to stimulate her.

Huo Shen and Li Yining are a fake couple, and everyone in the circle knows it. The reason why she brought it up was just to annoy Li Yining, but she didn't expect this brainless young lady... to say "yes"?

"We all want to see what the new unlimited secondary card that Mr. Huo gave us looks like. Ningning, can you show it to us?"

She smiled faintly: "What's so good about a card? Everyone has one."

"What Mr. Huo gave must be different."

"Yes, yes. I heard that Mr. Huo's cards are all specially customized by the bank. The same should be true for the supplementary cards."

"Yes, that's right. It's different from what we usually get."

Listening to everyone's insincere flattery, Li Yining actually wanted to laugh. These socialites said they were her "little sisters," but in reality they were not close friends.

Most people are the type who will praise you if you are great today, and dislike you if you are not great tomorrow.

She looked at the women around her who kept urging her to take out the card. For a moment, she was not sure whether they were really curious about the card or just wanted to laugh at her.

Li Yining smiled and didn't want to refuse. She lowered her head and took out her wallet. After opening it, she suddenly said "ah" and said apologetically, "I don't think I brought it today."

The other person looked at her and joked, "Ning Ning, what a joke, how can you not bring this gift from Mr. Huo?"

"Yes, yes, Ningning, please take it out and show it to us."

A few people gathered together and made a noise.

Li Yining smiled, took a sip of juice in a pretentious manner, closed the card bag and said, "It's not something rare, why do I carry it with me?"

She said calmly: "This card is not a big deal."

Everyone: “…”

Although I know it is the truth, I still get angry when I hear her say it so shamelessly!!

The people beside him smiled awkwardly: "Really?"

Someone changed the subject: "Ningning, your earrings are so beautiful, are you new? How come I haven't seen them before?"

Li Yining was stunned for a moment, reached out and touched the diamond earrings she was wearing, and said with a smile, "I took these photos a few days ago."

"It's so beautiful! It must be very expensive." The person next to her held her in her arms.

Li Yining thought for a moment and said, "Not bad, just over 2 million—" Before he could even utter the word "pound", someone next to him said in surprise, "Really? It doesn't look like it's over 2 million."

"It's only over 2 million? I'm kind of tempted to buy it."

"Yeah." Li Yining added calmly, "British pounds."

Everyone: “…………”
