Huo Xishen frowned.
Yan Jinyi clearly saw an evasive gaze in his eyes.
“Mr. Huo, you’re about to leave soon. Since you’re still my husband, shouldn’t you give me a goodbye kiss?”
As she spoke, she leaned closer to him.
Seeing that her lips were about to touch his, Huo Xishen’s expression turned cold, and he took a step back. “Please respect yourself.”
“You’re my husband, what’s wrong with me kissing you? Why do I have to respect myself because of that?”
Looking at how aggressive Yan Jinyi was, Huo Xishen was still feeling as disgusted as ever, but he maintained his composure on the surface. “You’re my wife, not a bandit. You should learn some manners and etiquette from Shen Yan.”
After saying that, he turned around to leave without turning back.
‘That’s it? Is that dog so susceptible to flirting?’
‘Or does he dislike me?’
Huo Xishen got inside the car, stepped on the gas pedal, and left. Only when the Huo family’s residence vanished from his rearview mirror did he heave a sigh of relief.
Looking at his hands that were trembling slightly, he pursed his lips, and his eyes were full of fury.
After hugging her that night, he had indeed felt a little disgusted and a great sense of discomfort that dissipated only after he took a long bath in the shower.
Just now…
“Dog, you’re destined to never be able to have a woman for the rest of your life. Make do with your right hand!”
Yan Jinyi was so furious that she began stomping her feet. She tried to take the initiative to flirt with a man for the first time in her life, but she ended up getting rejected.
‘Atrocious. But… is there something wrong with that dog? No, I must ask someone about it.’
Huo Xishen went to the office while Huo Qingyuan idled around outside with her friends, and Huo Chengyuan was immersed in his lab. Even Huo Xian went out to meet some friends.
In the large mansion, Shen Yan was left alone on the couch.
Dressed in silk home wear, her long, black hair was casually tied up and she was hanging her head low, keeping her eyes fixed on the book that she was reading attentively.
‘Shen Yan is so pretty.’
Yan Jinyi walked towards Shen Yan and sat down beside her with a grin. “Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?”
Shen Yan closed the book and pointed at the name on the cover page. “It’s a travelogue written by a foreign author. It’s not too bad, would you like to read it too, Jinyi?”
Yan Jinyi shook her head vigorously.
In her last life, the rich man’s daughter forced her to study too, and she had since developed a phobia of reading.
“Sister-in-law, does Huo Chengyu know how pretty you are?”
Shen Yan was stunned and her fair face turned rosy. “Jinyi, don’t babble nonsense.”
Yan Jinyi raised three fingers and said, “I swear to God that you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. If I’m a man, I’d definitely snatch you over and lock you up in my castle. No one can see you except me!”
‘Why didn’t King Yama make me a man?’
“Jinyi, please be more serious. You’re Xishen’s wife.”
‘Shen Yan gets shy too easily, but that’s what a girl should be like, unlike that Huo Qingyuan who behaves like a boor.”
“Where’s Xishen?”
“He has already left.”
Shen Yan was surprised. “So soon?”
“He likes dating his job instead so let’s not care about him.”
Yan Jinyi waved her hand casually. Suddenly reminded of something, she asked Shen Yan, “Is that dog… I mean, is Xishen ill?”
