The smiles on everyone's faces froze, and after a moment someone tried to smooth things over, thus changing the subject.

Li Yining didn't care. He lowered his eyes, took a sip of juice and planned to leave early.

Before she could even open her mouth, the little sister on the side started again.

"Oh, I'm really jealous of Mu Ningning. Mr. Huo is not only the only heir of the Huo family, but also a big movie star."

Li Yining smiled but said nothing.

"Isn't Mr. Huo very busy?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Ningning, aren't you going to take a day off today, Saturday?"

Hearing this, Li Yining smiled and said, "No rest."

"Ah... I can't accompany you. Wouldn't you feel bored?"

"No."

Li Yining smiled faintly and said, "As long as I can make money, I don't need anyone to accompany me. Besides, don't you have me here with me?"

Everyone: “…”

Even more angry.

Why can't I get rid of her? !

Li Yining looked at the group of fake "little sisters" in front of him and didn't want to use his fighting power.

To be honest, it's too weak.

Suddenly, someone looked at Li Yining and said, "Ningning, remember to tell Mr. Huo that you can never make enough money, so you should spend more time with your wife."

"Yes, Ningning, Mr. Huo hasn't been back for a year. How is your relationship going?"

They mocked Li Yining openly and covertly.

Her star-chasing activities some time ago were quite sensational. Although not as well-known as Uncle Xu, and not known to everyone that she was the big fan who spent a fortune, the news that she entered the entertainment industry for a young hunk was still widely spread in their small circle.

Li Yining knew that when the original owner was still alive, they had mocked and talked about her countless times behind her back.

Thinking about it, she smiled with the corners of her lips curved: "It should be okay."

She tucked her hair behind her ears and said in a bitch-like tone: "After all, my husband loves me deeply."

As soon as the words fell, someone smiled awkwardly: "Is... is that so?"

Li Yining blinked: "Isn't it?"

She touched her face and asked, "I am so beautiful, why doesn't my husband love me?"

People around: "..."

Could you please stop being so narcissistic? But...what Li Yining said was the truth. Thinking of this, they became even angrier.

Several people were no match for her, and just when they were about to give up, Li Yining's cell phone rang.

Everyone looked over, and when they saw the word "Dad", all the gossip in their eyes disappeared.

Oh, not Mr. Huo.

Li Yining choked for a moment and quickly answered the call: "Hello, husband."

Everyone: “???”

Huo Shen listened to her voice and his throat rolled: "Where is it?"

Li Yining: "Outside, are you done?"

Huo Shen: "Yeah."

Li Yining said "Oh" and said calmly: "Then are you going to pick me up? I want to go buy something."

Huo Shen was about to refuse, but after hearing something wrong in her voice, he was silent for a few seconds before agreeing, "Okay, send me the address."

"Okay, I love you."

Huo Shen: “…”

After hanging up the phone, Li Yining was not surprised at all to meet the shocked gazes of the young ladies.

"Ning Ning..."

"Hmm?" Li Yining raised his eyebrows and looked at the man.

"Was that Mr. Huo just now?"

"yes."

"You wrote Mr. Huo's note as dad?"

Hearing this, Li Yining smiled shyly and pretended to be embarrassed: "Oh, this is the interest of husband and wife."

Everyone: “…”

God damn couple fun.

Hold!!!

——

Not long after, Huo Shen arrived.

Li Yining was about to leave when the people around him started to make a noise: "Let Mr. Huo come in to pick you up."

"Yes, yes."

Li Yining sneered: "Why?"

"This is the only way to prove that Mr. Huo is really good to you."

Li Yining resisted the urge to roll her eyes, curled her lips and smiled, saying, "No need, I know whether my husband is good to me or not, I don't need to prove it with this."

"Besides, my husband is too handsome to be shown to you."

After saying that, she turned around and saw the man standing not far away.

Huo Shen put one hand in his pocket and stood not far away with a calm expression.

The two looked at each other, and the person behind them exclaimed, "Boss Huo is really here."

"Oh my god, it's true."

Huo Shen didn't even look at the group of people, but walked towards Li Yining. His voice was cold, but not his usual indifference.

"Can we go now?"

Li Yining's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly: "Okay."

Huo Shen glanced and said, "Let's go."

"good."

After watching the two of them walk out together, everyone in the room exclaimed in amazement.

"Huo Shen is so charming!!"

"In fact, the two of them are really a good match."

…

After walking out of the hall, Li Yining's face, which had been tense, could not help but smile when he got into the car.

She thought about the expressions of that group of people just now, and the corners of her lips curled up, unable to suppress it.

Although I don't know why Huo Shen cooperates with me so well, it just feels so good, indescribably good.

Thinking about this, Li Yining glanced at Huo Shen: "When did you arrive?"

She was in a good mood, and her tone became much lighter, and the sense of distance she felt towards Huo Shen was gradually disappearing.

Huo Shen glanced at her, looking at the stars in her eyes: "When I call you."

"Oh, then why didn't you call me when you went in?"

Huo Shen said calmly: "It seems like you guys are having a very happy chat."

Li Yining: “…”

She suddenly thought of the two sentences she had just said.

Instantly, Li Yining felt embarrassed.

She pursed her lips and looked at the man next to her cautiously: "Then what I just said--"

Huo Shen said "hmm" in a calm tone: "Your husband is too handsome, he can't be shown to other women, I heard it."

Li Yining: “…”

qwq.

A faint smile flashed in Huo Shen's eyes. Looking at the man leaning against the car window with no hope in life, he frowned.

"What do you want to buy?"

"ah?"

Li Yining was stunned for a moment before he reacted and quickly said, "No, no, I suddenly remembered that I have some at home."

Huo Shen glanced at her.

Li Yining choked up, touched his nose and said, "I just said that just to provoke them. I don't want to buy anything."

Huo Shen raised his eyebrows: "Exciting?"

Li Yining didn't seem to have much to hide from Huo Shen. She hummed and whispered, "They said you didn't have time to accompany me, so of course I couldn't let them laugh at me, so - you know."

Huo Shen: "Yeah."

He paused and looked at her: "I will try to spend more time with you in the future."

Li Yining: “???”

Wait bro, that's not what I meant!!

She stared at Huo Shen with wide eyes.

Huo Shen raised his eyebrows, unable to guess what the woman was thinking: "Not enough?"

Li Yining choked, thinking that the more he explained, the more confusing it became, and shook his head violently: "No."

Forget it, it’s better not to explain.

The car became quiet.

Suddenly, Li Yining's phone vibrated. She looked down and saw it was a message from Song Jing.

Song Jing: [Ningning, I got an invitation to a variety show. I just sent it to your email. See if you are interested.]

Li Yi-ning: [Not filming? ]

Song Jing: [This variety show will not be recorded for the time being, we are just preparing to decide on the cast. It is invested by our own company and it looks pretty good.]

Li Yining: [Okay.]

She opened her mailbox and her eyes widened when she saw the email message from Song Jing.

The content of the variety show was different from her previous ones. It was all horror-themed. There were six recordings in total, and they were broadcasted in twelve episodes. Each recording location was different. When she saw several alternative theme locations, she felt that they were very eerie.

But I have to say that even with just a simple story outline, it seems particularly attractive.

After seeing the list of invited guests, Li Yining was shocked.

The show crew is going to invite — all big names.

Li Yining: [Sister Song, the program crew is planning to invite only first- and second-tier artists. Do I have to use the back door to get in?]

Song Jing: [It can be said that it is not. Those people may not be hired. You are just a substitute. ]

Li Yining: […………]

Why does it sound so pitiful?

Song Jing: [Are you interested? ]

Li Yining: [A little bit, but there is a problem... I am afraid of the dark. ]

Song Jing: [You can overcome your fear of the dark. I have evaluated that this variety show will be of high quality and will have good market prospects. It is suitable for you.]

Li Yining: [Then I’ll think about it.]

Song Jing: [Okay.]

——

After the chat, Li Yining and Huo Shen also arrived home.

Uncle Xu watched the two of them coming back together, and was so moved that tears were about to flow out.

"Mr. and Mrs. are back."

Li Yining tried to hold back his laughter and said lively, "Uncle Xu, did you miss me?"

Uncle Xu nodded: "Yes, Madam, do you miss your husband?"

She blurted out, and just as she was about to say "yes", she realized that Uncle Xu was setting a trap for her. When the words came to her lips, Li Yining changed her mind and said, "Um...is dinner ready? I'm hungry."

Huo Shen: “…”

Looking at the woman's hurried back, he curled his lips silently.

Uncle Xu sighed and patted Huo Shen on the shoulder to encourage him: "Come on, sir."

After dinner, Li Yining curled up on the sofa and read the script again.

This is a costume TV series, and she is quite interested in it. Song Jing got her an audition opportunity. Although she is not the heroine, she has a lot of parts, and Li Yining cherishes it very much.

Well, although she has money now, she is still very self-aware that the money does not really belong to her. She is just enjoying the benefits of the original owner.

Thinking of this, Li Yining sighed.

She should actually go to the Li family, but she was afraid of being exposed. They didn't get to know Huo Shen very well, and if she occasionally broke down, he might become suspicious, but he wouldn't be overly surprised. However, the original owner's parents would definitely be different.

But if I don't go to see them, it has been nearly two months since I came here. If I don't go home for two months, my parents will probably urge me to go home.

Just as I was thinking about it, Li Yining started singing on his cell phone.

She looked down and saw the word "Mom" displayed on it.

!!!

What you think will come true.

Li Yining took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, and answered the phone when the ringing was about to stop.

"Hello." She called softly.

A gentle female voice came from the other end: "Ningning?"

"Mom, it's me."

Li's mother said, "Hey, why didn't you speak just now, kid?"

Li Yining said nothing.

Li's mother said, "Have you forgotten about your parents? Look how long you haven't been home." Li's mother kept muttering, "You can't really stop communicating with your parents just because of what they said last time, right?"

Hearing this, Li Yining was stunned.

Did you talk about yourself last time?

When? ?

She tried hard to recall, but in the end she couldn't find the memory.

"I didn't." Li Yining could only try to avoid the topic: "I was just thinking about going home to see you guys."

Li's mother: "Really?"

"Um."

Li's mother didn't know if her daughter was just trying to tease her, so she quickly said, "Okay, why don't you ask Ah Shen to come back with you? You haven't been home together since you got married."

Li Yining: “…”

This is a bit difficult for her.

"But I—"

"You what?"

Li Yining scratched his head and said, "It's okay. I'll talk to him later."

"Okay, then come home for dinner tomorrow? Mom will ask Auntie to cook your favorite food for you."

"good."

There was no way to avoid it, so I had to agree.

Not to mention that the original owner's parents were very good to her, so Li Yining should fulfill her obligations. However, as for Huo Shen, she really didn't know whether this man would agree.

When Huo Shen came back from the study, he saw his little wife with a frown on her face.

He raised his eyebrows and was about to ignore it when he suddenly heard Uncle Xu's diligent voice.

——Young Master, a man should take the initiative!!

He paused and looked at Li Yining: "What's wrong?"

Li Yining was distracted and was stunned for a moment: "When did you come in?"

“Just now.”

Huo Shen looked at her: "What's the matter?"

Li Yining hesitated for two seconds, pursed her lips and looked at him: "Do you have anything to do tomorrow?"

"I have an event to attend." It was an event for a brand he endorsed before. He had already scheduled a time with Yu Xing early on, and Huo Shen would definitely attend.

Li Yining's raised brows instantly drooped: "Oh."

Huo Shen pinched his brows and wanted to laugh: "Tell me, what are you going to do."

"My mother... let us go home for dinner."

Huo Shen was stunned. He had never thought about this.

He looked down at the distressed man and coughed, "Evening or noon?"

"I think both are fine."

Huo Shen nodded and said calmly: "I'll come back to pick you up after this."

Hearing this, Li Yining's eyes lit up and he looked at him in surprise: "You agreed?"

Huo Shen pursed his lips and looked at her helplessly: "What makes you think I won't agree?"

Li Yining: “…”

Facing Huo Shen's scrutinizing eyes, she tried to find an excuse for herself: "It's just... you seem to be quite busy."

She laughed dryly and changed the subject: "Are you going to have a company event tomorrow?"

Huo Shen glanced at her and said calmly, "It seems like you really don't care much."

Li Yining: “?”

Huo Shen said coldly, "Commercial performance."

Looking at Huo Shen's leaving back, Li Yining inexplicably felt a hint of anger.

Is this man angry? ?

Also, what does "it seems like she really doesn't care" mean? What is she caring about?

Li Yining used his clever brain to think.

Follow Huo Shen? !

She choked and said she didn't care what he did.

As she was thinking, she suddenly had an idea, as if she had discovered something - Huo Shen was just... angry because she didn't pay attention to him? !

As soon as he discovered this possibility, Li Yining's eyes lit up.

Thinking about this, she picked up her phone and poked Jian Yuanyuan: [Come out quickly. ]

Jian Yuanyuan responded promptly: [Sister, don’t you want to have a nightlife? ]

Li Yining: [It hasn’t started yet, let me ask you something. ]

Jian Yuanyuan: [You say.]

After Li Yining gave a passionate speech about the conversation between Huo Shen and himself, Jian Yuanyuan sent six points with a sentence: [Are you a fool? ]

Li Yining: [……]

No, she is not.

Jian Yuanyuan: [Look how crazy you were when you were chasing other male stars. Not only did you spend money to book shows, but you even knew about all the activities in advance. But you didn't even know about such an important event as your husband? It's even trending on the Internet today.]

Li Yining: […What a coincidence, I didn’t log into Weibo today.]

Jian Yuanyuan: [Not a coincidence at all.]

Li Yining felt aggrieved.

She secretly glanced at the man who went into the bathroom. It had been more than ten minutes and he still hadn't come out. Did he fall into the toilet or was he angry with her?

But Li Yining couldn't understand. What was there to be angry about? It wasn't the first time that she ignored him.

As she thought about it, she inexplicably felt a little guilty.

Jian Yuanyuan: [You have nothing to do tomorrow, why don’t you go and support your husband’s activities? ]

Li Yining: [……]

When Huo Shen came out, his wife was still sitting on the bed, wrapped in a quilt with her back to him, waiting for him.

He closed his eyes and lifted one side of the quilt to go up.

"Huo Shen."

Li Yining looked at him with wide eyes.

Huo Shen looked sideways, his tone cold: "What's the matter?"

Li Yining choked, not caring about his attitude at the moment, and asked softly, "Do you need me to buy a billboard to promote your event tomorrow?"

Huo Shen: “…”
