Wen Li wanted to follow Huo Yuanchen downstairs, but he refused and asked her to go back first. He did not look back when he went downstairs, not even once.

Wen Li looked at his back and couldn't help but said, "Are you so impatient to see An Wen? You don't even want to stay for a minute longer?"

Huo Yuanchen paused and looked up at her with a cold gaze.

The perspective from below will make people look ugly, and Wen Li's face didn't look very good at the moment. He just glanced at her and then looked away, thinking that she looked quite ugly.

"I've done everything I promised you." He said without any emotion, "You have to keep your promises."

Wen Li curled the corners of his lips and tried to smile, but his eyes were full of grievance . "Okay, I'll keep my promise, you can go."

When he heard it, he really left without stopping at all.

Wen Li stood at the stairs for a long time, hiding all the grievances in her eyes, before returning to her home.

Wen Yongjie asked her, "How did Yuanchen leave?"

She pretended to be fine and answered calmly, "I called a car for him. He was on a long business trip this time and had a lot of things left to do at school, so he hurried back to deal with them."

She was looking for an excuse for Huo Yuanchen to leave, fearing that her parents would notice something was wrong and feel sad.

Wen Yongjie nodded, "As you should. Young people should focus on their careers. You did the wrong thing, too. Yuanchen was on a business trip, why did you follow him abroad? You're just causing trouble."

Before Wen Li went abroad, she didn't dare tell her parents that she was going to look for her brother, fearing that she would be disappointed if she couldn't find him. As it turned out, her decision was right. She told her family that she was going abroad to attend a training course.

Now that her parents saw her returning to China with Huo Yuanchen, they naturally thought that she was going out to play with them.

She did not defend herself against Wen Yongjie's reproach, but nodded honestly, "I understand."

While washing the dishes, Hu Huifen and Wen Li were huddled together in the kitchen and whispered to each other. Hu Huifen asked her a little worriedly, "You and Yuanchen are dating, does his family object? After all, our family is just an ordinary family now, and there is a huge gap between us and his family."

Wen Li didn't know how long Huo Yuanchen could cooperate with her. After thinking about it, she left some room and said, "I've only been dating him for a short time and haven't met his parents yet."

Hu Huifen sighed and said, "Your father's memory is not as good as before after this illness. I think he didn't recognize Yuanchen today. However, he seems to like Yuanchen very much. He is happier than when you and Jinnian were dating. You should get along well with Yuanchen, and don't be like Jinnian at that time, throwing tantrums at every turn. Although we are not urging you to get married, we all hope that you can find a good home."

After a pause, he said with a bit of worry, "It's just that Yuanchen's family's conditions are too good. I'm afraid his parents won't agree."

Wen Li tried to smile and said casually, "You think too far ahead. I don't think that much. In a relationship, if you get along well, then think about the future. If not, then break up."

She wanted to give Hu Huifen a shot of prevention first, so that she would not be separated from Huo Yuanchen and make her mother worry about her again.

Hu Huifen glared at her in disapproval and advised her, "Why are you always acting like a child? It takes time for two people to get along with each other. There is no such thing as a perfect person. Look at me and your father. We have been married for decades and we still quarrel. If we all thought like you, we would have divorced long ago. How could we still have you?"

Wen Li thought, two people need to get used to each other, but how can three people get used to each other?

But she didn't dare tell Hu Huifen this. She could only agree casually and comfort her parents first.

Wen Li stayed at her parents' house at night. She didn't send a message to Huo Yuanchen, wanting to see if he would contact her on his own initiative.

He didn't contact her, not only that night, but also the next day, the third day, and the fourth day.

On Friday night, Wen Yongjie kicked Wen Li out and said to her, "You've rested enough at home, go back to your apartment. You're not single now, you've been living at home, it's not convenient for Yuanchen to come to see you. Tomorrow is the weekend, go on a date with Yuanchen."

When Wen Li dragged her suitcase out of the house, she felt quite desolate. She felt like she was being kicked out.

She hadn't been back to her apartment for more than half a month. When she opened the door, there was a musty smell in the house. She spent more than an hour cleaning the room and changing the sheets and quilt covers before the smell finally subsided.

But when she was free, she became bored. The advantage of living at home was that she always had someone to talk to. Now she was alone in the apartment and felt it was too quiet.

Wen Li called Zhou Ying and wanted to ask her out, but Zhou Ying had to work overtime and had no time at all.

She watched TV for ten minutes, turned it off, and called Huo Yuanchen on her cell phone.

The call was connected, and she heard his breathing on the other end, which was quite low, but he didn't say anything. He just waited quietly for Wen Li to speak.

Wen Li didn't say anything either. The two of them seemed to be competing, neither of them was willing to speak first. In the receiver, besides the faint sound of electricity, the only sound was the other's breathing.

Finally, Wen Li couldn't stand it anymore and asked him, "What's the name of your scar removal medicine? It's the one the doctor prescribed for you when you got burned last time."

After a few seconds of silence, the other party said, "I still have a new tube here that has not been opened. You can use mine first."

Wen Li hesitated and said, "Isn't this too much trouble?"

The other party said, "I have time today, I can send it to you, you don't have to come and get it."

Wen Li thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

An hour later, Huo Yuanchen called her and asked her to go downstairs to get the medicine. Wen Li didn't change her clothes for going out, and went downstairs in her home clothes.

The lights downstairs were dim, and the man was leaning lazily against the car door, his brows and eyes hidden in the light, lazy and dull. Hearing footsteps, he lifted his eyelids to take a look, and said in a faint voice, "Here I come."

"Um."

It was still a bit cold at night in April. Wen Li didn't wear a coat, and when the night wind blew, he sneezed.

Huo Yuanchen glanced at her trembling chest.

He reached out, hooked a small bag between his slender fingers and handed it to her, "What you want."

Wen Li took it and said politely, "Thank you, thank you for your trouble."

After that, she deliberately waited for a while. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking again, she pursed her lips and said in a somewhat stiff voice, "Well, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

He looked at her deeply and said nothing.

Wen Li turned and left.

Just as she took a step, he grabbed her wrist.

She didn't struggle, but let him pull her, waiting quietly for him to speak.

Huo Yuanchen looked at her in silence for a long time before he sighed and said, "Why don't you invite me up to sit down?"
