Wen Li was so angry that she fainted. She didn't know where she got so much strength from suddenly. She pushed Huo Yuanchen away and slapped him in the face.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound attracted the attention of others.

Soon, the door of the secret room was opened from the outside, and Meng Jinnian was the first to rush in.

At first glance, he saw Wen Li's messy collar, the bite marks on his neck that could not be ignored, and the "strawberry" on his collarbone. He used all his strength to suppress his anger, took off his coat and put it on Wen Li.

"What's going on?" he asked Wen Li, almost unable to control his anger.

Wen Li had not yet recovered from her shock and was a beat slower to react. Huo Yuanchen spoke first, "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person."

"You mistook her for An Wen?" Meng Jinnian asked him with a frown.

"It was too dark, I couldn't see clearly. I asked her twice and she didn't deny it." Huo Yuanchen casually put the blame on Wen Li.

He went out first and found An Wen, who was almost crying, in the crowd. "I'm sorry that I didn't get the prize. I disappoint you."

An Wen shook her head vigorously, her teeth almost biting her lips white. Her face was tense, and she forced a smile, but it was uglier than crying.

"Brother Yuanchen, did you really recognize the wrong person?"

Huo Yuanchen spoke in a calm voice, with a calm expression, "What else?"

An Wen finally laughed, "I think so too. But you still have to be careful in the future. I don't want you to be taken advantage of by questionable women."

"The questionable woman naturally refers to Wen Li.

Huo Yuanchen said "hmm" absentmindedly, and saw from the corner of his eye that Wen Li followed Meng Jinnian away. Meng Jinnian's hands were tightly clasped around her waist in a protective gesture.

He looked away without any emotion.

When Meng Jinnian sent Wen Li back, he asked her, "What did Huo Yuanchen tell you?"

Wen Li was a little uneasy and didn't hear his question clearly, "What?"

"Huo Yuanchen said that when he went in, he asked you if you were An Wen. Why didn't you tell him that you were not?"

When Meng Jinnian spoke, there was uncontrollable anger in his tone, and his fingers gripping the steering wheel were clenched until they turned white.

Wen Li thought about it carefully. She didn't remember whether Huo Yuanchen had asked her. She was so nervous at that time that it seemed like countless voices were echoing in her ears, but she couldn't hear anything.

Maybe he asked, but she didn't hear it, so the misunderstanding happened.

"I didn't hear it, Jinnian. I really don't know if he asked anything."

"Did you not hear it, or did you hear it but deliberately didn't answer?"

Meng Jinnian slammed the brakes, turned his head, and stared at Wen Li with burning eyes.

The red mark on her neck was too glaring, a kind of broken beauty after being desecrated. When he thought that it was Huo Yuanchen who kissed her, he became madly jealous.

"Wen Li, are you in love with Huo Yuanchen? Is it because he wants An Wen and not you that you choose to get back together with me?"

Wen Li thought this was ridiculous, "Jinnian, you think too much."

“I don’t think I’ve overthought it.”

Wen Li was very tired at the moment. The fear in the secret room made her feel exhausted both physically and mentally. She didn't want to argue with Meng Jinnian. She pursed her lips and decided to wait for him to calm down before talking.

"Put me down, I'll call a taxi to go home."

"Wen Li, answer me, are you in love with Huo Yuanchen? Are you? Answer me!" Meng Jinnian's voice was so loud that people passing by outside the car could hear what he was saying.

Wen Li couldn't stand him like this, so he opened the car door and jumped out, hailing a passing taxi and saying, "Go to a certain community."

Meng Jinnian followed and got out of the car, but he was not as quick as Wen Li and failed to stop her. He chased after the taxi and shouted a few times, "Wen Li! Wen Li!"

The taxi sped away and he came back dejected. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He punched the steering wheel hard and honked the horn.

Wen Li looked in the mirror carefully after returning home. The red mark on the collarbone was not a big deal, as it would not be visible if the collar was buttoned. The key point was the neck, where Huo Yuanchen, the mad dog, had bitten too deeply, leaving such an obvious tooth mark that it might leave a scar.

"Psycho! If this leaves a scar, I will give him one too." Wen Li thought hatefully.

She applied medicine to the wound and put on a band-aid very carefully, not daring to be careless at all for fear of leaving a scar.

Then I just sat in the room in a daze.

It was strange that she didn't even know she had claustrophobia. Just like now, she was clearly alone in a locked room, but she didn't feel scared. Even if she turned off the lights at night, she didn't feel that scary.

"What's going on?" She talked to herself, and even wondered if Huo Yuanchen had made her depressed and started to have mental problems?

"How about finding a reliable psychiatrist?"

However, before she could go to see a psychologist, Meng Jinnian went to apologize. He was very smart and knew that Wen Li was stubborn, so he started with Wen Li's parents. He went to visit Wen Li's parents in the name of the New Year, carrying large and small bags of gifts, which made Wen Li's parents very happy.

Wen Yongjie was a respectable man. Seeing Meng Jinnian being so enthusiastic, he felt bad and reminded Wen Li, "You should also go see Jinnian's parents. It's New Year's Day and you haven't visited them yet."

Wen Li bought some supplements and went to Meng's house because her parents were bothered by her. But she chose a bad time and ran into Meng Jinnian's mother walking out as soon as she entered the Meng's house.

"This is such a bad coincidence. Michelle Yim just asked me to play mahjong. They are short of one player and are waiting for me."

For some reason, Meng Jinnian took the initiative to say, "Mom, Wen Li and I will take you there. This way, Wen Li will be filial and it won't interfere with your mahjong playing."

The Meng family didn't think much of Wen Li, but they couldn't resist Meng Jinnian's love for her. In addition, Wen Li and Meng Jinnian had broken up, so the Meng family took her even less seriously.

Hearing this, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it and nodded, "Then let's do this."

When they arrived at the Huo's house, Huo Yuanchen was there too, sitting on the sofa eating fruit. Michelle Yim called him to show her the cards, but he ignored her and pretended not to hear.

Michelle Yim was so angry that she and her poker friends complained, "My son is worse than a piece of barbecued pork. He doesn't even know how to cheer me up on Chinese New Year. He just makes me angry all day long."

He looked at Meng Jinnian's mother with envy, "You are so lucky. You have your son and daughter-in-law to accompany you. How happy you are. Especially Wen Li, who is so beautiful and well-behaved. You will be happy when she gives birth to a big fat grandson for you."

Even though Meng Jinnian's mother didn't like Wen Li, she couldn't help but feel proud when she was complimented like that, and her eyes became much kinder when she looked at Wen Li.

Meng Jinnian glanced at Huo Yuanchen on the sofa and suddenly said, "Wen Li and I plan to get married in the first half of this year."

Wen Li was stunned for a moment, and when he opened his mouth to say something, his hand was held tightly by Meng Jinnian.

"Wen Li and I are not young anymore. We love each other and think it would be better to get married early so that both parents can feel at ease. We plan to prepare for pregnancy from now on and try to have a full-month banquet for all the aunts by the end of the year."

Maggie Cheung laughed first, "Congratulations, your mother will be even more proud now. I am so envious."

Others joined in the congratulations.

Huo Yuanchen stood up and said, "Something happened at school. I have to go out for a while."

Michelle Yim snorted and said nothing.

Huo Yuanchen went out and came back, walked straight to Wen Li and handed her a lipstick.

"Your stuff fell on my car. It might have fallen when you and I were in the car last time. Please take it back."
