Huo Yuanchen looked at Wen Li with an unhappy expression.

He thought rationally that if she was smart, she wouldn't ask him this question at this time.

He had never thought about what kind of future he would have with Wen Li, and having children was not even in his mind. He would definitely have children in the future, and it was not certain with whom, but it would definitely not be her.

Even if he agreed to let Wen Li be his girlfriend, he didn't think they could last long. It was just a joke to please her, and she would be too greedy if she expected anything extravagant because of it.

He doesn't like greedy women.

Wen Li knew what Huo Yuanchen was thinking by looking at his expression. She had never thought about marrying him, and the reason she asked this was because she wanted to piss off An Wen.

What disease she has is completely her privacy. Even the doctor has no right to disclose her condition. Yet An Wen just casually said it out at the dinner table. What was An Wen thinking? Did she think she couldn't see it?

Didn't she just want Huo Yuanchen's parents to know that it was difficult for her to get pregnant, and that they were afraid that she would get involved with Huo Yuanchen and delay the inheritance of the Huo family's incense, so they intervened?

It's not like she hasn't seen green tea bitches before, but this girl An Wen was clearly scheming and trying to scheme against people, yet she pretended to be innocent on the surface, which made her feel a little disgusted.

Wen Li looked at Huo Yuanchen with a smile and asked again, "Yuanchen, please speak. Do you mind?"

Huo Yuanchen looked at her solemnly and said in a somewhat cold tone, "If she were my wife, I wouldn't mind."

The word "wife" was emphasized heavily.

Wen Li would not become his wife, so whether he minded or not was none of her business.

An Wen's face suddenly fell. The chicken leg in her hand no longer smelled good. She bit it for a long time but failed to break the skin. Instead, tears came out.

Huo Mingqi looked at Wen Li expressionlessly, put down his chopsticks, stood up, and said to Huo Yuanchen, "Come with me."

After the two of them left, Michelle Yim looked at Wen Li with an awkward expression of excitement and disbelief, and asked her, "What did you mean by what you said just now? You and Yuanchen...you...are together?"

Wen Li felt that Michelle Yim was very good to her. She and Huo Yuanchen would have to break up sooner or later. She didn't want Michelle Yim to be disappointed, so she said tactfully, "Aunt Qi, you should ask Huo Yuanchen about this."

After all, Huo Yuanchen knew his family better than she did, and he was more adept at explaining things to his family than she was.

In the study, Huo Mingqi looked at Huo Yuanchen with a cold expression and asked him, "Didn't you say that you were just playing around with Wen Li? What's the meaning of bringing her home again and again?"

Huo Yuanchen frowned and said with a headache, "I didn't ask her to come. It was my mother who wanted to find her."

Huo Mingqi snorted coldly and said, "She is smart. She saw that your mother is easy to talk to, so she tried to curry favor with her. In this respect, she is quite similar to your mother. Your mother married into the Huo family because she pleased your grandparents. Go tell Wen Li that your mother has no say in your marriage, and tell her to give up on it."

For some reason, Huo Yuanchen suddenly remembered that in the morning, he went back to the villa to get tissues for An Wen to wipe her tears, and heard Michelle Yim's happy laughter coming from the kitchen.

He walked closer and saw Wen Li and Michelle Yim making a cake with their heads close together. Wen Li got some flour on her face, and Michelle Yim wiped it off for her while smiling, with the smile on her face that never stopped.

He vaguely remembered that when he was a child, Michelle Yim also loved to laugh, but he didn't know when she started to laugh less, and the atmosphere at home became more and more depressing. His parents would often have cold wars and sometimes didn't say a word to each other for a whole week.

Huo Yuanchen said somewhat disapprovingly, "You can let her entertain Mom."

"I'm afraid that if she comes too often, her ambition will grow, and you won't be able to get rid of her then." Huo Mingqi said earnestly, "Let's not talk about her family situation. Just because she can't get pregnant, I won't agree to let her in. A family like ours must have a biological child to inherit the family business. If she can't give birth, you'll still have to find a woman outside. In the future, the child will have to recognize his ancestry, and the child's mother will naturally come back with him. You still have to break up with her. Why bother with so much trouble?"

Huo Yuanchen corrected Huo Mingqi from a rigorous perspective, "She just has difficulty conceiving, not that she can't get pregnant."

"It's the same thing." Huo Mingqi was a little impatient. "I'm doing this for your own good. I'm afraid you'll be obsessed with her on impulse and regret it later. To be honest, I shouldn't have agreed to let you play with her. It's hard to get rid of a woman like this. Your grandparents fell in love with your mom because of your grandfather's family background. What's wrong with Wen Li? Don't waste your time on her. Get your mind back and marry someone who's a good match for you so I can have grandchildren sooner."

Huo Yuanchen had no way to refute these words. He was silent for a while and said, "Please give me some time to deal with it."

"Okay. I'm not an unkind parent. Get rid of Wen Li as soon as possible, and I'll help you find someone. When you find a suitable candidate, you can meet him. Don't make excuses anymore."

Huo Yuanchen nodded, "Okay."

When he was about to leave, Huo Mingqi asked, "Is An Wen about to graduate?"

Huo Yuanchen said yes.

Huo Mingqi said, "When her graduation ceremony is held, please notify me and I will attend it in person and ask a few reporters to go with me. Please tell her in advance and don't act too petty at the ceremony, otherwise those reporters will write nonsense."

"knew."

When Huo Yuanchen went out, he saw Wen Li taking pictures of Michelle Yim. His mother was holding a freshly baked cake in her hand, smiling at the camera a little embarrassedly.

Wen Li took several photos and showed them to Michelle Yim, saying, "I'll send them to you after I've finished editing them. Then you can pick out the ones you like and I'll print them out for you."

Michelle Yim was very happy and said to her, "You took such a great photo of me. I haven't taken photos outside for many years. Yuanchen and his father also don't take photos for me. The only photos I have on my phone are selfies."

Wen Li said, "Then I'll teach you some selfie techniques next time."

Michelle Yim couldn't stop smiling.

Wen Li pointed at the cakes on the table and said, "Can I take a few photos of the cakes? Aunt Qi, you are so skillful. These cakes are so cute that I don't want to eat them."

Michelle Yim had never been praised like this before, so she quickly said, "Take pictures, take as many pictures as you want."

They were busy for the whole morning and made several kinds of cakes. Wen Li took pictures of them all in one go and thought each cake was incredibly cute.

Huo Yuanchen walked over and said, "It's time to go."

Michelle Yim was stunned and said, "Are you leaving so soon?"

Huo Yuanchen nodded, "There's something else."

Michelle Yim said goodbye to Wen Li reluctantly and said, "When you are free, let Yuanchen pick you up to play."

Wen Li politely agreed.

When she went out, Huo Yuanchen had already driven the car out of the garage. He took out a bag from the trunk, which was exactly the one she had seen in Country L.

Wen Li's heartbeat quickened, and she watched Huo Yuanchen's actions without blinking. She wondered how she was going to thank him later? Should she transfer money to him or say something else?

Then, I saw with my own eyes that Huo Yuanchen handed the bag to An Wen.
