Chapter 121: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

 Chapter 121: [Mrs. Huo, Are You a Dog? Biting People?]

Shen Cheng was furious.

At this moment, what she saw was not the large bouquet of romantic red roses, but thick stacks of cash moving farther and farther away from her.

Too angry to care about anything else, she spun around and lunged at Huo Xingjian, determined to shake some sense into this wastrel.

As for his little wife’s “throwing herself into his arms,” Huo Xingjian was, of course, more than happy and thoroughly enjoying it.

Although his “Happy Valentine’s Day” had been cut short, and the romantic moment was destroyed by his unappreciative little wife, he was still unexpectedly pleased with her initiative.

He spread his arms, catching the charging Shen Cheng securely. “No need to be so excited. I know you’re delighted by my romantic gesture and just want to show me your appreciation.”

“Don’t worry. There will be romance like this waiting for you every day. Mrs. Huo, just enjoy it—I’ll make every day feel like Valentine’s Day for you.”

Shen Cheng took a deep breath, working hard to suppress the rising anger in her chest.

“Delighted, my foot! Enjoy, my head! Huo Xingjian, you wastrel! You’re squandering my money—mine!” Shen Cheng gritted her teeth, her words forced out through the gaps.

“You said it yourself: as long as we don’t divorce, every penny I earn, all my assets, are yours! Thank you so much for using my money to buy romance and make me ‘happy’!”

“Well, I’m not happy, not even a little! I don’t care. You return this nonsense right now, and however much you spent, you pay me back every penny! Not a cent less!”

[Stupid man! Did I give you permission? Can romance feed me? Does a flower smell better than money? A bouquet wilts in two days, but money doesn’t!]

[Was my brain fried? Who wants this nonsense? Isn’t holding real cash in my hands much better?]

Huo Xingjian: “…”

Sure enough, his little wife was one of a kind. In her eyes, only money mattered—nothing else!

“Shen Cheng, today is Valentine’s Day…”

“Valentine’s Day, my foot!” Shen Cheng shouted, glaring daggers at him. “Do you think I’m a three-year-old who doesn’t know better? Or do you think I’m Li Qingxue, who enjoys your sweet talk?”

“I’m not into foreign things, and I know today isn’t February 14th! I’m born and bred in China, and I know today isn’t the Qixi Festival either!”

“So where’s this ‘Valentine’s Day’ from? Even if it were, are we lovers? Do I need to celebrate it with you? Wouldn’t hugging my money on Valentine’s Day be better?”

“At least money won’t betray me. It’s loyal and dependable, unlike certain stupid men who see a woman and can’t move their legs… mmph…”

Before she could finish, her lips were seized by him.

It was a hot, punishing kiss, as if he wanted to swallow her whole.

Shen Cheng was stunned, unable to react for a moment.

She let him hold her waist, her lips captured and plundered by him, as he went further and further.

Her clear, beautiful eyes stared at him unblinkingly.

It wasn’t until her tongue began to tingle that she snapped out of it.

Then… without hesitation, she bit down hard on his unruly tongue.

A faint taste of blood filled both their mouths.

“Hiss!” Huo Xingjian hissed in pain and reluctantly let go.

He pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth and licked his tingling lips, sighing softly.

The hand on her waist moved to cup her face, his gaze full of indulgence and affection. “Mrs. Huo, are you a dog? Biting people? Hmm?”

Shen Cheng took a deep breath. “I’m not a dog; I’m a snake—a highly venomous cobra! My teeth are laced with poison, and one bite is fatal.”

[Stupid man! Taking advantage of me again and again!]

[If I can’t bite you to death, I won’t call myself Shen Cheng!]

“Mm, I could tell.” He responded with an amused tone, showing no trace of anger from her curses and bite. On the contrary, he seemed to enjoy it even more.

His large hand ruffled her head gently, his voice dripping with excessive indulgence. “If you like it, go ahead. Bite as much as you want. Besides my mouth, is there anywhere else you’d like to bite? Hmm?”

The look Huo Xingjian gave Shen Cheng was incredibly suggestive.

His eyes, already captivating, became downright irresistible when seductive, capable of pulling someone in entirely against their will.

At this moment, Shen Cheng felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness, as if she were being lured by him.

For a fleeting moment, she thought she might have fallen into the trap of her romantic tendencies again, captivated by him.

However, her reason prevailed, and she wasn’t entirely seduced by his charm.

“No!” She shot him a glare, quickly stepping away from his embrace and putting some distance between them.

Pointing at the massive bouquet of roses in the trunk, she commanded in an authoritative tone, “Return it and give me back every penny!”

Huo Xingjian rubbed his forehead, at a loss for words.

He stepped closer and pulled her back into his arms. “Mrs. Huo, can’t you appreciate a bit of romance? Don’t worry, I’ll return every penny to you, but the flowers to please my wife can’t be taken back…”

“Huo Xingjian, are we divorced?” Shen Cheng interrupted him.

“No…”

“Then are you planning to divorce me?”

“Impossible! Don’t even think about it!”

“In that case, do you have money?” Shen Cheng looked at him with a sly smile. “Didn’t you say that as long as we’re married, all your money is mine? Are you telling me now that the money you spent on flowers wasn’t mine?”

Huo Xingjian: “…”

When did his wife’s logic become so sharp and unassailable?

“Wife, I just wanted to make you happy.” He looked at her with a touch of grievance.

“Only money makes me happy! You… humph!” Shen Cheng scoffed, her face full of disdain.

[Do I care about your ridiculous attempts to make me happy? The only thing I care about is money!]

“Fine, I get it. I’ll have someone return it later,” Huo Xingjian said seriously.

“Now. Immediately. You do it yourself!” Shen Cheng ordered imperiously.

“Wife, I’m worried I might mess it up and get cheated. How about you come with me?” The cunning glint in his eyes was unmistakable.

“Fine, I’ll go with you!” Shen Cheng agreed without hesitation.

Her mind was completely preoccupied with the money slipping away, so she failed to notice the satisfied smile spreading across his face after achieving his goal.

…

Huo Yuyan felt like she had been run over by a car. Her whole body was weak, especially her legs, which no longer felt like her own.

Her head was spinning, though she seemed vaguely aware of what had happened.

With great effort, she opened her eyes.

“Ah—!” A scream of terror, panic, and fear escaped her lips.
