By the time Wen Li realized what was happening, Huo Yinghuai had already gone upstairs. Wen Li simply lay down on the sofa and happily studied her phone.
By the time the cook arrived, Wen Li was already scrolling through short videos.
Huo Yinghuai didn't go downstairs for dinner. The aunt made four dishes and a soup. Wen Li stared at the exquisite plating and ate every last bit.
In the following days, Wen Li did not see Huo Yinghuai again.
It was only when Wen Li's cook that she learned Huo Yinghuai had hundreds of companies of all sizes to manage, and when he got busy, he simply didn't have time to come back.
Wen Li didn't seem to care.
Although Huo Yinghuai was tainted with black energy, he was protected by a body full of golden light, so he was not in any immediate danger.
