My darling?
Little wife?
Missy?
Is she really sweet?
Although Su Wanwan was originally very angry, when she heard him introduce her in such a straightforward and bright manner, her expression, movements and tone were all so honest.
Could she have misunderstood him?
Without giving her time to think clearly…
“Alright, I’m not going to return to the compartment. Tell Xiuhuang for me.” Having said that, she was taken away by Huo Jingshen.
**
Inside the enclosed car, a peaceful silence.
As soon as Huo Jingshen got into the car, his face was expressionless, and his driving looked somewhat cold.
Su Wanwan was sitting quietly, in a dignified and gentle manner, without saying a word.
The wind blew in from the half-open window with a bit of chill.
Then…
“Achoo!”
Huo Jingshen sneezed.
Su Wanwan quickly said, “Close the window, don’t catch a cold.”
“Baby, areyou worrying about me?” laughed Huo Jingshen, “It’s too late.”
Su Wanwan was flustered and started explaining, “It was Xiaotian who told me you’re engaging with courtesans at Gui Mansion, I rushed over.”
Engaged with courtesans?
Ye Qitian?
Huo Jingshen chuckled lightly again.
Alright, this grudge, he took note of.
Casting a sidelong glance at the little girl, whose expression showed guilt, his face fell, and he firmly stated, “Do you believe whatever he tells you? In your eyes, am I, Huo Jingshen, that kind of man who indulges in debauchery and seeks pleasure everywhere the moment my wife is not by my side?”
But Su Wanwan actually dared to rebut, “Then who asked you to deceive me? I sent you a message asking you, and you said it was a business meeting, but you were secretly romancing with an old lover!”
“So, in front of so many people, you threw red wine at me?” Huo Jingshen scoffed, “Does your husband not need to uphold his dignity?”
“Even if I’m wrong…” Su Wanwan defended herself with a flushed face, “Aren’t you the least bit responsible? Have you ever heard of the idiom ‘avoid suspicion’?”
Huo Jingshen nodded, “You’re right.”
Su Wanwan was stunned.
So quickly he admits his mistake?
The next second…
“On that note, in future, you and Ye Qitian must also maintain a distance.”
“He’s my buddy, a really close one.”
Although he’s a bit silly and reckless, without Ye Qitian and Master in Los Angeles, I’m afraid I would’ve been done for early on…
“He’s a man.” having said that, Huo Jingshen added, “And the kind that has ulterior motives towards you.”
Su Wanwan:”…”
“That’s settled then, we’ll monitor each other from now on. Be good.”
Su Wanwan again:
Why do I feel that something is off?
She immediately says, “I’m just pals with Qitian, our relationship is clear. What about your overseas trip? You two even had a relationship!”
An overseas trip?
Huo Jingshen chuckles, “We didn’t have a relationship.”
“Huh?”
“I said, we didn’t have a relationship.” Huo Jingshen repeated with aflat tone.
“How is that possible? She openly said if you two were still together, the child would be in junior high school now, do you think I didn’t hear that?”
This was also a reason that made Su Wenwen angry.
Chu Jingyi and Chu Xiuhuang are twins, both are thirty years old this year, which is two months younger than Huo Jingshen.
The Chu family and the Huo family have good relations, they both live in the military district compound, the families are comparable, the two individuals have grown up together, both look well-matched, it seems as if they are a perfect match created by heaven and earth.
Huo Jingshen raises his brows, “Baby, are you jealous?”
“Far from it!”
“Hmm.” Huo Jingshen lets out a low laugh, and then says, “I didn’t have any relationship with her. Tonight, I had arranged to meet a business owner from the northeast at the club, but he suddenly fell ill and couldn’t make it. By chance, a few friends were having a gathering, and I had no idea that Xiuhuang would bring Jingyi over.”
Su Wanwan was feeling pretty comfortable listening to this until she heard the last two words.
“Jingyi? Haha, you call her so intimately.”
Huo Jingshen:
The phone suddenly rings at this moment, and he picks it up to look.
Su Wanwan obviously noticed his expression, immediately asking, “Who’s calling?”
Huo Jingshen:
Who else could it be?
It just happened to be Chu Jingyi who called.
“Why aren’t you answering? Are you feeling guilty?” Su Wanwan’s pair of big eyes keep staring at him.
Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, put down the phone, “Then, I won’t answer.”
It was Su Wanwan’s turn to be silent: “s”
After a while, she peeked at the phone, and deliberately said, “It’s been ringing for so long, it would not be nice if you don’t answer, right?”
Huo Jingshen responded, “It’s okay, I pretend not to hear it.”
Su Wanwan was quite satisfied with his attitude, but the lingering ringtone sounded relentless, as if it would not cease until the call was answered.
She pursed her lips, then reached out, pressed the answer button, and hit the speakerphone.
Then, she heard Chu Jingyi’s soft voice, “Jingshen, it’s Jingyi, I’m sorry, am I disturbing you by calling now?”
Su Wanwan remained silent.
“Jingshen? Jingshen, are you listening?”
Finally, Huo Jingshen spoke, but his tone was very indifferent: “What’s the matter?”
“It’s like this.” Chu Jingyi said, “I forgot to tell you just now, my grandfather plans to hold a charity auction on his birthday, then Aci and others will also come.”
“Okay.”
“Also.” Chu Jingyi paused a moment, “Your wife didn’t misunderstand earlier, did she?”
Huo Jingshen remained unchanged, “No.”
“Really?” Chu Jingyi laughed lightly, “It’s best if there was no misunderstanding, see you at the birthday banquet then, bye.”
The call was just ended.
“Which trollop do you plan to bring to the birthday party?” Su Wenwen’s cold voice echoed.
Huo Jingshen was open to the advice, “I111 bring you.”
