As soon as Wen Li said this, Huo Yuanchen's smile turned cold.

He was silent for a long time before he said calmly, "You know, my mother can't be my master."

Wen Li suppressed the strangeness in his heart and said with a smile, "Yes, I know."

He bent down and kissed her forehead, half coaxing and half warning her, "Wen Li, don't think too much."

After he said this, he carried her to the master bedroom.

But neither of them had the heart to do anything, so they just lay together, hugged each other and talked for a while, then went to sleep.

When Wen Li woke up the next day, Huo Yuanchen had already gone to work.

Maggie Cheung got up early and made breakfast for them. The slap marks on her face had disappeared and she looked much better. When she saw Wen Li getting up, she called her to have breakfast.

I said apologetically, "I caused you trouble yesterday."

Wen Li shook his head and said, "It's okay."

She thought for a moment and added, "I won't tell anyone about what happened yesterday. Aunt Qi, believe me, I'm very tight-lipped."

Maggie Cheung breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you."

Wen Li thought that families like theirs valued face the most. Even though Huo Mingqi had been keeping a mistress outside for more than ten years, the news would still report from time to time about the loving relationship between him and Michelle Yim. He would also bring Michelle Yim with him to attend some important banquets, presenting himself as a loving and doting wife.

After all, at their level, any disturbance in the relationship between husband and wife would affect the stock price. The shareholders of Huo's Group did not want Huo Mingqi to get divorced and let his ex-wife take away half of his wealth.

This is probably why, even though Huo Mingqi has been deeply in love with Zhang Li for so many years, he just kept Zhang Li away from home and was unwilling to divorce Michelle Yim and make Zhang Li his legal wife.

When Wen Li finished her breakfast and was washing the dishes, Michelle Yim asked her, "Wen Li, are you free today? Can you accompany me to the hospital to see Zhang Li?"

Wen Li was a little surprised and said, "I do have some free time. This is the advantage of my job. I have more free time. But, Aunt Qi, why do you want to go to the hospital?"

Michelle Yim smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes, and said, "I just want to explain. I didn't push her, and I don't want to take the blame."

Wen Li was silent. She thought to herself, Aunt Qi still cares about Huo Mingqi and doesn't want her husband to misunderstand, so she deliberately went to explain it clearly.

She washed her hands and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

On the way to the hospital, Wen Li asked the driver to go to the jewelry store where they were yesterday. She wanted the clerk to give her a copy of the surveillance footage from yesterday.

What you hear is not as good as what you see. No matter how much Michelle Yim explains, it will not be more convincing than directly playing the surveillance footage from that time.

Unexpectedly, when she went to the store, she was told, "Yesterday's surveillance has been destroyed."

Wen Li didn't believe it and asked the clerk, "Why did they destroy it so quickly? How long has it been?"

The clerk explained to her, "The memory of the surveillance cameras in our store is not large, so the surveillance video from the previous day will be automatically overwritten at midnight every day. You came to request the surveillance video after a day, it's too late, and it can't be restored."

Wen Li felt extremely regretful and hated himself for not coming over to copy the surveillance footage yesterday.

However, things had come to this and there was no other way. She could only give up the idea of playing the surveillance video for Huo Mingqi and accompany Michelle Yim to the hospital.

Before they even reached the door of the ward, they heard Huo Mingqi's voice, asking worriedly, "Does the wound still hurt?"

This was said to Zhang Li.

It's really ridiculous. His wife didn't come home all night, but he wasn't worried and didn't even call her. But he was very concerned about his mistress and ran to the hospital to visit her early in the morning.

Wen Li glanced at Michelle Yim worriedly.

Michelle Yim's expression was quite numb, as if the man who was speaking was not her husband at all.

Zhang Li's soft and weak voice came from the ward again, saying, "The pain is not that severe now, but I feel dizzy and have no strength in my body. It's even hard for me to speak."

Then An Wen's voice came out again, saying, "Aunt Li, you are anemic due to excessive blood loss. You didn't know that you lost a lot of blood yesterday, which scared me. Fortunately, you are lucky enough to survive. Otherwise, I would be so sad."

Huo Mingqi also said, "Yesterday was indeed dangerous. I almost thought I was going to lose you. Speaking of which, we should also thank An Wen. She was the one who gave you the blood transfusion yesterday. When you are discharged from the hospital, we will all thank An Wen."

Zhang Li said weakly, "An Wen is indeed a good child. I have always liked her."

An Wen said embarrassedly, "Uncle Huo, Aunt Li, please stop praising me. I just did what I should do. Aunt Li got into this misfortune because she wanted to buy me a graduation present. If my blood type didn't happen to match Aunt Li's, I would have blamed myself to death."

Zhang Li said, "Thank you. You are my lifesaver."

Huo Mingqi also said, "Whatever graduation gift An Wen wants, just tell me, Uncle Huo will take care of it."

Then he went to comfort Zhang Li and said, "Meizhen shouldn't have hit you so hard just because she was jealous. I will never forgive her this time. Just focus on recovering from your injuries and leave the rest to me. I won't let you suffer such a big loss in vain. You must teach her a lesson so that she will never look down on you again."

Michelle Yim stood outside the ward with her eyes downcast, motionless for a long time.

Wen Li was worried about her and reached out to help her.

As soon as she moved, she turned and walked away, her steps were very fast, as if there was some ferocious beast behind her.

Wen Li hurried to chase her. But the hospital was crowded, and she was blocked by several patients and their families. When she went out, she could not see Michelle Yim anymore. She did not answer the phone, and no one knew where she went.

Wen Li hurriedly called Huo Yuanchen and said, "Aunt Qi is missing."

Ten minutes later, Michelle Yim called back and told Wen Li, "I'm fine. I was just emotional for a moment, but I've calmed down now."

Wen Li asked her where she was. She said, "I'm back, in Yuanchen's apartment. But I want to be alone. Can you tell Yuanchen to stay somewhere else tonight?"

Wen Li agreed and called Huo Yuanchen again.

He was also visibly relieved and said, "Got it."

Then he said, "I'm busy. I'll find you later."

Wen Li hung up the phone and went back to her small apartment.

She thought Huo Yuanchen's words "I'll find you later" meant he was calling her to ask for details. Unexpectedly, the word "find" was literally what it said.

When she saw the exhausted Huo Yuanchen through the peephole, she softened her heart and opened the door to let him in.

"Why did you come to me?"

She thought he would find a hotel to stay the night. After all, he hadn't come to see her for almost a month since the last time they parted on bad terms, and it was obvious that he had lost interest in her.

As soon as Huo Yuanchen entered the room, he pushed her against the wall, and eagerly took off her clothes, kissing her all over.

He said, "I'm a little tired. I want to fuck you."
