Seeing her puzzled expression, the housekeeper paused for a moment.
Realizing she had misspoke, she stammered, "It's nothing. It's getting late, Miss. Please finish your soup and get some rest."
Her evasive expression made Li Ruo frown.
Just as he was about to say something, the door was suddenly opened, and a tall man's figure appeared in the doorway.
"gentlemen?"
Upon seeing him, the housekeeper stood up in surprise.
At this moment, Wen Huaiyan seemed to have just finished a phone call, still holding his phone in his hand, his unpleasant expression impossible to hide.
Li Ruo's eyes widened: "What happened?"
Seeing the deep concern on her face, Wen Huaiyan's cold expression softened for a moment, then he turned his cold gaze to the housekeeper.
Receiving his hint, the housekeeper realized what was happening and quickly picked up a bowl from the table beside her: "The dishes in the kitchen haven't been washed yet, so I'll go out first."
As she spoke, she hurriedly left the room, not forgetting to close the door behind her.
"you……"
As the room fell silent, Li Ruo opened her mouth, but was immediately pulled into the man's arms.
The intense fragrance lingered around her nose, causing her to pause slightly before quickly wrapping her arms around the man's waist.
"I'm going back to the Wen family tomorrow. You're coming with me."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo was startled.
She hadn't forgotten that just a few hours ago this man had told her not to worry about the Wen family's affairs, so how could his attitude have changed so quickly?
Has something happened?
Thinking this, she stepped back, wanting to ask, but before she could move, a large hand appeared around her slender waist.
The man's large, scalding hands skillfully wrapped around her waist and landed on the front of her clothes, attempting to unbutton them.
Realizing what he was about to do, Li Ruo paused and hurriedly said, "No!"
"I think……"
But Wen Huaiyan seemed oblivious to her attempts to stop him. His usually cold voice became somewhat hoarse, and his hands didn't pause at all. "Don't you miss me?"
Under the interplay of light and shadow, his facial features became even more defined. As he looked down at her, a hint of doubt in his eyes made Li Ruo gasp for breath.
He has always been hands-on in such matters, but this is the first time he has shown such flair.
Who could refuse that?
The moment the thought flashed through her mind, Li Ruo followed her heart, slowly closed her eyes, and offered her red lips.
Rarely seeing her so proactive, Wen Huaiyan's breathing became heavy, and he could no longer control himself and lowered his head to kiss her.
In the quiet night, the air gradually warmed up, accompanied by a few soft moans.
When Li Ruo regained consciousness, it was already the next morning.
Hearing the noise around her, she forced open her heavy eyelids and saw the man just as he finished dressing.
The custom-made black suit made him look even more tall and handsome.
But seeing this scene, Li Ruo could only think: "A beast in human clothing!"
Although she knew Wen Huaiyan was always formidable, her crazy behavior last night was rare, leaving her feeling sore all over and unable to get up.
At this moment, Wen Huaiyan seemed to notice that she had woken up.
Her eyes, which turned to look at him, held a hint of tenderness, but quickly returned to calm: "Since you're awake, get up quickly. It's getting late, and we need to get our hair and makeup done soon."
"ah?"
...
Half an hour later, several costume designers and stylists were ready in the hall. As soon as they saw Li Ruo, they rushed over and surrounded her.
She was dazed and forced into a chair. It wasn't until her clothes were almost ripped off that Li Ruo came to her senses: "Attending the Wen family banquet? Is it... appropriate for me to go?"
She hadn't forgotten how Wen Zhi had treated her before, and now she was swaggering off to the Wen family. Wasn't that just handing herself over to the tiger's den?
Although she didn't care about other people's attitudes, she didn't want to actively seek trouble.
Seeing the struggle on her face, Wen Huaiyan snorted and said succinctly, "You're mine, you can go anywhere."
Since he had already said so much, Li Ruo couldn't argue anymore. She let the makeup artist apply makeup to her face for a while before asking, "So what kind of banquet is it?"
"It's Wenzhi's birthday!"
These five simple words made Li Ruo suddenly realize the truth.
No wonder... Wen Zhihui suddenly came to the door...
Li Ruo sighed. She was right; she had indeed gone to their doorstep to cause them trouble.
Wen Zhi was angered and left yesterday, and today she is going to attend the other party's birthday party.
She couldn't even imagine how awkward the scene would be in a moment.
But Wen Huaiyan had no idea of her inner thoughts. The people he had invited were all professionals, and the styling was completed in just two hours.
At this moment, she was dressed in a black dress, with a string of blue gemstones hanging from her slender neck, which complemented her striking red lips, adding a touch of allure to her appearance.
Wen Huaiyan's gaze was deep, and after a long while, he softly uttered two words: "Not bad!"
But Li Ruo didn't notice his amazed expression at all. She looked at his suit first, then at her own long dress, and was a little puzzled.
Is it just my imagination?
Why do their clothes look so similar? Could they be wearing matching outfits?
