Wen Li's tone was not good. Huo Yuanchen pursed his lips and asked patiently, "If you are not sick, why do you say you are not feeling well?"

Wen Li didn't even have the mood to argue with him at this moment. Hearing that, he just felt annoyed. He turned his head to the side and said without any emotion, "Can you please stop arguing with me? I'm not lying to you. I really don't feel well. I want to sleep for a while."

This clearly means a refusal to continue communicating with Huo Yuanchen.

Maybe because no one would give him the cold shoulder normally, he looked very unhappy and stared at her for a long time with a heavy gaze. Seeing that she had no intention of apologizing, he left and went back to his seat.

But after a while, he called the flight attendant and pointed to the seat in the last row and said, "She is not feeling well, bring her a cup of hot water."

Wen Li slept for another hour before waking up. By this time, everyone else had finished their airplane meals. Although she hadn't eaten anything all day, she wasn't very hungry. She put on her headphones and watched the TV series she had downloaded before, so it wasn't difficult to kill the rest of the time.

When she got off the plane, she sat in the last row, so she waited until everyone else had left before she went to get her suitcase. The luggage rack was very high, so she had to tiptoe to reach it, and the suitcase was very heavy, so she felt very tired.

Huo Yuanchen hadn't left yet, so he came over to help her carry the suitcase. After all, he was a man, so he lifted the suitcase with one hand.

Wen Li took the suitcase and didn't give him a good look. He said politely, "Thank you," and pushed the suitcase out.

Huo Yuanchen followed her. All his luggage had been checked in, and he had nothing in his hands, so he said, "Your suitcase is heavy. I'll help you carry it."

Wen Li moved sideways to block his outstretched hand and said calmly, "No, I can carry it."

No matter how heavy the box was, didn't she carry it all the way?

After leaving the cabin, Huo Yuanchen said, "Let's take a taxi to the hotel together. You and I can take one car."

Wen Li said nothing.

After leaving the airport, she chose to ride in the same car with Yu Jingchen and asked him politely, "Professor Yu, can you give me a ride?"

Yu Jingchen glanced at Huo Yuanchen who was following behind her, feeling a little embarrassed. In addition to him, the car was also filled with two other professors, including Wen Li, but there was no seat for Huo Yuanchen.

Wen Li asked politely again, "Is it inconvenient? Forget it, I'll just call a taxi myself. My English is OK, so daily communication won't be a problem."

Yu Jingchen quickly gave up his seat, "It's not inconvenient. Please sit down, and we can take care of each other."

He was originally thinking that he could get off the car and let Huo Yuanchen get in. But after Wen Li got in, he closed the door.

Huo Yuanchen turned around and got into another car.

The other two professors in the car didn't know Wen Li, so Yu Jingchen introduced them and just said, "This is Wen Li, she is Huo..."

Wen Li interrupted him, greeted the others openly, and introduced himself, "I am a friend of Professor Zhou from the School of Foreign Languages. I happened to be in Country L for some business this time, so I shamelessly came to use the professors' cars. I am sorry to cause trouble to everyone."

Hitchhiking is a trivial matter. There are two empty seats in a car. When we are out and about, we should help each other. The other two professors smiled and told Wen Li not to be polite, and did not ask any more questions.

After driving for a while, Yu Jingchen asked Wen Li, "Did you almost miss your flight today?"

Wen Li did not answer his question, but asked him, "Professor Yu, is it easy to get a taxi from the meeting place to the airport?"

Yu Jingchen asked her doubtfully, "Meeting? What kind of meeting?"

Wen Li said, "Didn't you go to the meeting this morning? Didn't you say you had a very important meeting to attend?"

Before Yu Jingchen could speak, the professor sitting in the front row interrupted, "Are you talking about the report meeting that was originally scheduled for this morning? It's postponed. The weather in the neighboring province was bad last night, and the flight was canceled. The people from the neighboring province who wanted to attend the meeting couldn't come, so the meeting was postponed to tomorrow."

He glanced at Yu Jingchen, as if to confirm, and said, "I remember notifying you at nine this morning that the meeting was postponed, right? Am I remembering correctly?"

Yu Jingchen nodded, "I remember correctly, I also received the notice of postponement of the meeting at nine o'clock."

Wen Li calculated that her flight was scheduled to take off at 1:30 p.m. Huo Yuanchen told her the meeting would end at 11:30 p.m., but she waited at the entrance of the venue until 12:10 p.m. before leaving for the airport.

In other words, from nine in the morning to twelve at noon, a full three hours, Huo Yuanchen did not inform her that the meeting was postponed.

She felt like a clown, being played around by him. Now that she knew the truth, she should be very angry and want to lose her temper with him, or even beat him up.

But she had no ripples in her heart, and even talked to Yu Jingchen calmly about the food of Country L. When Yu Jingchen asked her again why she boarded the plane so late, she said indifferently, "The road was too congested. I would have chosen not to take that road if I had known."

Wen Li thought, she was really miserable. She had been bullied by Huo Yuanchen to the point that she had lost her temper and couldn't even get angry.

There is a four-hour time difference between Country L and Hai City. Wen Li flew in the sky for seven hours. When he arrived at the hotel, it was not yet four o'clock in the local afternoon. The sky was bright and the sun was shining. Rich aromas wafted from the coffee shops along the street.

She just felt hungry at this moment, so she went to a coffee shop to have a light meal. On her way back, she met Huo Yuanchen at the door of the room.

She didn't know how long he had been waiting here. When she saw him, he was leaning against the door looking at his phone, looking very bored.

Wen Li was still angry and didn't want to see him, so she said, "Please make way. I need to go back and rest."

He glanced at her calmly, said nothing, and moved aside to make way for the card swiping position.

But when Wen Li entered the room and was about to close the door, he held the door open and squeezed in.

"Talk?" he said.

Wen Li turned around to pack his luggage and said, "I don't want to talk."

Huo Yuanchen closed the door and walked up to her. "I forgot to inform you that the meeting was cancelled. You almost missed your flight. It's my fault. I apologize to you."

Wen Li paused while packing his luggage, raised his eyes, and sneered at him, "You apologize to me? Did I hear it correctly? I must be hallucinating. Why would Professor Huo apologize to me?"

Her tone was extremely sarcastic. Huo Yuanchen frowned, but still said patiently , "You heard me right, I am apologizing to you. This matter is indeed my fault, you can ask for any compensation you want."

It was rare for him to speak to her in such a sincere tone. Wen Li thought for a moment and said, "I don't want compensation. I just want to know how you could forget me completely in such a long time from nine to twelve? Especially, you had already arrived at the airport with Professor Yu and the others, and found that I hadn't arrived yet. How could you still forget me?"

Huo Yuanchen didn't say anything.

Wen Li seemed to see some self-blame in his eyes. She suddenly remembered that when she first called Huo Yuanchen, his phone was always busy...

Wen Li bit her lip and spoke with a bit of difficulty, "Huo Yuanchen, who were you talking to on the phone on the way to the airport?"

He still didn't speak.

Wen Li understood everything. "You are talking to An Wen, right?"
