Chapter 82: Night Before the Divorce the Villainous Family Can Hear My Thoughts!

 Chapter 82: The First Time, Is This How You Treat Me?

Shen Cheng was furious!

She gritted her teeth, furious at how he twisted the truth, furious at his bold words, and even more so at the sycophantic remarks of the people in the elevator.

In her frustration, Shen Cheng reached out and pinched his chest without mercy, twisting it hard.

But...

She immediately realized that the muscles on his chest were so hard that she couldn't move them at all.

[Damn scoundrel, why does he have to make his chest muscles so hard! Not only can I not twist them, but my hand hurts too.]

[Not letting me twist his chest muscles, huh? Fine, I'll try somewhere else!]

Her hand moved downward, stopping at his waist. She pinched a piece of flesh and twisted it as hard as she could.

[Come on, shrink the flesh on your waist just like your chest muscles! Do it if you can!]

[Damn scoundrel, this is your fault! You had to talk nonsense and take advantage of me!]

"Enough, stop now! There's still people outside, don't make a fool of yourselves," Huo Xingjian said in a tone full of indulgence.

Then came the light laughter of the others in the elevator.

"Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo’s relationship really makes us envious."

"Mr. Huo’s level of pampering his wife makes us feel ashamed of ourselves!"

"Ah, this is just Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo playing around! A little couple’s quarrel, who doesn't have these? It's exactly what the elders in the family want to see."

"Yes, yes! Mr. Huo, I think we’ll be hearing good news soon!"

"If it were up to me, I'd say a trip to the hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department wouldn't hurt. You never know, there might already be good news."

"Exactly, exactly!"

Shen Cheng: "......"

Could it get any more ridiculous? Are they going to say next, "Mr. Huo, when the baby turns one month, make sure to give us all mooncakes!"

"Mr. Huo, when the baby is one month old, be sure to send us mooncakes!"

Shen Cheng: "......"

[God, strike me with a lightning bolt and end my misery!]

"Ding!"

The elevator reached the first floor and the doors opened.

"We'll announce any good news in due time," Huo Xingjian said as he carried Shen Cheng out of the elevator, leaving behind the words in a casual tone.

Shen Cheng, feeling like the world was collapsing, could only play dead.

She didn’t want to speak a single word to this man with water in his brain.

Until he gently placed her in the passenger seat, and then...

"Huo Xingjian, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?!"

Huo Xingjian had just sat down in the driver's seat when he saw Shen Cheng suddenly lunge toward him.

The result... she came at him so forcefully that she ended up in his arms.

And, because the space inside the car was cramped, as she collided with him, her hand brushed the center console, and...

She ended up in an awkward position on top of him.

"Hiss!"

Huo Xingjian let out a muffled groan.

He hadn’t expected this, but… he had to admit, he really enjoyed it.

It had been a long time since something like this happened.

"There’s no need to be this hasty," he said with a satisfied smile, lifting her head gently.

Shen Cheng’s face turned bright red, like it was on fire, even her eyes had turned slightly red.

She glared at him, looking as though she wanted to chew him to bits.

"Huo Xingjian, you did that on purpose!" She angrily sat back in the passenger seat, sitting as close to the car door as possible.

[What a disgrace! This is so humiliating!]

[Damn scoundrel, he's probably so pleased with himself right now. He must think I was the one who wanted to throw myself at him.]

[Oh my god! That is not what I meant! I just... wanted to strangle him!]

Huo Xingjian slowly buckled his seatbelt, "Mrs. Huo, I didn’t do anything. You threw yourself at me as soon as I sat down. And you even ended up on my lap."

"You can't play the victim now! I haven’t even called you out for being a pervert, and you’ve already pinned the blame on me."

"You..."

"But it’s fine. I won’t argue with you," he said, smiling more satisfyingly. "After all, this is your usual trick. The first time, you threw yourself on me like this."

"I’ve already gotten used to it. Just, when we're outside, you should control yourself a little. It's not good if people see it and make fun of us."

"When we’re back home, you can do whatever you want. I’ll go along with it."

Shen Cheng took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress her anger.

She forced a smile, "I really appreciate you thinking of me so much!"

"You're welcome. We're married, after all. We should think of each other," he said with a smile, "Make sure your seatbelt is on."

Shen Cheng gritted her teeth so hard that they almost made a grinding noise, clearly furious.

Huo Xingjian pretended not to notice her anger, his lips curled in a faint smile as he started the car and drove off.

Hospital

"Dad, what’s going on between you and Huo Yunshan’s mom?"

Wen Yintong urgently asked the old man after arranging a private room.

"Yeah, yeah! Grandpa, how could my grandmother be your 'white moonlight'? No, how could you have any connection with her?" Huo Yushu asked with great curiosity.

"Grandpa, no matter how I imagine it, I just can't picture you with my grandma...!"

Grandpa was the respected head of the Wen family in Tongcheng, but Grandma? She was just a village woman from a remote mountain area.

If it weren’t for her scoundrel of a father marrying her mother, how could the Huo family have risen to their current position?

Even if the scoundrel father rose out of the village with his education, he wouldn’t have advanced so quickly.

It wasn’t until one person ascended that the whole family could rise!

Her grandmother had been living like the queen of the Huo family for years, even her aunt’s family had risen three levels.

"How can you speak like that?" The old man shot her a glare, frowning. "Your grandma and I, what do you mean by those things? We have nothing to do with each other, clean and pure. I’ve only had one woman in my life, your grandmother!"

"Grandpa, are you saying that my sister-in-law is making things up about you?" Huo Yushu smiled brightly.

"Dad, don't hide it now. Look at what we saw in Huo Yunshan’s room earlier. They’re really a family, and we’re just outsiders."

"Also, I definitely don't doubt Shen Cheng. Don’t let love blind your judgment. Now you see the Huo family’s ambitions for themselves."

"If you don’t come clean with us, we might end up being used. Shen Cheng has worked so hard to pull us out of the mud, and it would all be for nothing!"

"Dad, I don’t want everything to play out like Shen Cheng said, following some ridiculous script."

"Ugh..." The old man sighed helplessly, looking awkward. "Well... when I was young, I went to the countryside, and I was... blind."
