Chapter 103: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

 Chapter 103: Beginning to Deal with the Li Sisters

At this moment, only the two of them were left in the break room.

Hmm, the "traitor" Huo Yushu had already fled.

[Huo Yushu, you traitor!]

Shen Cheng was so angry her teeth almost ground together, but all she could do was show an innocent, confused expression on her face.

Her beautiful eyes blinked as she looked at him. "Huh? Has... it ended? I... I forgot..."

"Yeah, right! I forgot. So much has happened recently, and when my mind gets busy, I forget things."

"My memory just... ran away from home. I couldn’t stop it!"

She then smiled with an expression as serene as a chrysanthemum, her eyes not even showing a trace of guilt.

Her sincere appearance completely looked like her memory really had just run away.

"Really? Your memory ran away from home?" Huo Xingjian still wore that enigmatic smile, his eyes intensely fixed on her.

Shen Cheng nodded without hesitation.

He leaned in a bit closer.

"What... what are you doing?" Shen Cheng asked, looking at him warily, instinctively leaning back.

They were very close now, with only a fist’s distance between their faces.

His warm breath brushed against her face.

It... was ticklish.

This was a familiar sensation. If she said she felt nothing, that would be impossible.

After all, this was the man she had chased after shamelessly for nine years.

But ever since they had become a couple, reason had overcome emotion.

She reached over to grab a magazine from the side table and held it between their faces.

Then, the man's low, incredibly pleased voice whispered in her ear, "So, Mrs. Huo likes it like this?"

Huh?!

What does "like this" mean?

Like what?

Shen Cheng quickly removed the magazine from between them, staring at him in confusion.

He took the magazine from her hand, opening it in front of her.

What the hell?!

Shen Cheng’s eyes widened, staring in disbelief at the image on the magazine, swallowing hard.

What was this?

In the photo, a man and a woman were embracing, both only wearing bikinis on the beach.

The man’s body was really incredible!

Oh, she admitted it, Huo Xingjian’s body was also amazing. It was as good as, if not better than, the model in the photo.

"If I said it was a coincidence, would you believe me?" Shen Cheng forced a dry smile, looking at him.

"Of course," he nodded. "As long as you say it, I believe it! Even if you asked me to take off my clothes and dress like the person in this photo, I’d do it."

"No need!" Shen Cheng immediately rejected. "Looking at the pictures is enough for me. I prefer the people in the pictures, not the real-life ones... Hmm..."

Before she could finish, his lips captured hers.

His long arm reached around her waist, pulling her tightly into his embrace, not giving her a single chance to resist or escape.

This kiss carried a bit of punishment but was gentle at the same time.

It felt as though she was his porcelain doll, and if he moved too roughly, she would break.

This kind of tender action was something Shen Cheng had never experienced before. There was even a hint of careful affection.

It was completely different from the cold, arrogant man she had known as Huo Xingjian in the past.

Shen Cheng felt somewhat... unsettled.

"Since Mrs. Huo's memory has run away, as your husband, I have the responsibility and obligation to help you get it back."

He gently kissed her lips, whispering in a low voice.

Shen Cheng felt her body growing weak and limp, her mind blank, and for a moment, she didn't know how to react.

She felt like a boneless, limp creature, falling into his arms.

Huo Xingjian was very pleased with this.

A faint, satisfied smile curved at the corner of his lips as he continued to coax her. "Mrs. Huo, has your runaway memory returned yet?"

Shen Cheng couldn’t remember the runaway memory at all; her mind felt like mush.

By the time she regained her senses, she realized she was sitting on his lap, her hands tightly wrapped around his neck, and they were gazing at each other.

In his eyes, she saw two little reflections of herself.

At this moment, Shen Cheng felt that there was more than just desire in his gaze. There was real affection for her.

This thought made her shiver.

[Shen Cheng, are you crazy? Thinking he has feelings for you?]

[Don’t forget how you died! He only has feelings for Li Qingxue. He’s the kind of man who would give up everything, even his entire fortune, for her.]

[Don’t let a little bit of affection here fool you!]

[Do you want to die again?]

Huo Xingjian: "..."

What more does he have to do for her to believe him? He has no feelings for Li Qingxue, not the nonsense she's imagining!

Shen Cheng snapped back to her senses and suddenly jumped off his lap, taking a few steps back to put distance between them. "No need!"

What she meant by "no need," she didn't know. She just couldn't let this man deceive her anymore.

"Shen Cheng..."

"I have things to do, I'm leaving now. Just take the sesame back." She interrupted him, not giving him a chance to speak, and quickly fled.

Watching her disappearing figure, Huo Xingjian sighed helplessly, his brows furrowing slightly.

The road to winning his wife back was incredibly long.

"Brother, where's Sister-in-law?" Huo Yushu cautiously poked her head in and asked, "Did you make her mad again?"

Huo Xingjian shot her a sharp look, scaring her to quickly retract her head. "I won’t ask, I won’t ask. The sesame's surgery is done, I'll take it home now."

The break room was left with only Huo Xingjian.

He crossed his arms, his chin resting in one hand, deep in thought.

After a long while, he took out his phone and dialed Zhang Hui's number.

"Mr. Huo," Zhang Hui answered quickly.

"Arrange for someone to get Li An An to make her spill the truth about Huo Xinglang and Li Qingxue's relationship," Huo Xingjian said coldly.

"Understood. I'll take care of it."

"And the family of the driver involved in the accident, have them come in. Get him to meet Li Qingxue."

"Yes."

...

Li An An had been sent to the detention center, and even though she requested to see Li Qingxue, her wish was not granted.

Lying on the hard, uncomfortable bed, she felt the coldness of the room around her.

She couldn’t sleep, her mind full of hatred.

She hated Li Qingxue for ignoring her at a time like this, for not caring about her.

She had promised their parents that she would take care of her, but she hadn’t done that at all.

Instead, she was busy living her own life, even competing with her for a man like Huo Xingjian, who was so extraordinary.

"Hey, what are you in here for?" The woman in the cell with her curiously asked. "I was framed by my own older sister."

Li An An suddenly looked at her.
