Wen Li was really stunned this time.
She couldn't believe what she heard?
She even raised her hand and touched Huo Yuanchen's forehead. After making sure that he didn't have a fever, she asked suspiciously, "You didn't sleep last night, and your mind is not clear now. Did you mistake me for someone else?"
Huo Yuanchen pinched her buttocks and said, "You may be mistaken about the face, but you can't be mistaken about this place."
Wen Li thought about it and it made sense. He would never treat An Wen like this. He felt sorry for the little girl and would never treat her so harshly as he did to her.
She asked, "What do you mean by that? Did Aunt Qi assign you another task?"
She remembered the last time they went on a date and ended up parting on bad terms, so she didn't want to go on a date with Huo Yuanchen. "If you're here for the mission, I'll definitely cooperate with you. I've said everything Aunt Qi should say, but let's not make things difficult for each other."
Huo Yuanchen looked at her for a while and said, "Didn't I perform well enough the last time I went on a date with you?"
Wen Li looked at him speechlessly.
She thought he was quite modest and that he wasn't good enough. How could he not be good enough? He was simply infuriating, okay? He was listless when watching a movie with her, but he was talking and laughing when watching a movie with others.
Who wouldn’t be angry?
She didn't want to go on a date with Huo Yuanchen, so she said tactfully, "It's not easy for us to get together during the day. You have to work during the week and you're only free on weekends, but weekends happen to be my busiest time."
Huo Yuanchen said, "If you don't want to go on a date for this reason, don't worry. I'm on annual leave and can accompany you whenever you want."
Wen Li really felt something was wrong. During the Chinese New Year, when the school was still on winter vacation, Huo Yuanchen took the initiative to ask to be on duty in the laboratory. How could a workaholic like him take the initiative to take a vacation?
What's more, there is still a month before summer vacation.
Isn’t this the time when teachers are the busiest?
She remembered what Zhou Ying told her. There was a big turmoil in the School of Life Sciences this morning. The teachers in charge of managing the laboratories were implicated by An Wen and their futures were uncertain. As An Wen's mentor, would Huo Yuanchen not be implicated?
Her heart skipped a beat and she asked, "Huo Yuanchen, did your school...punish you?"
Huo Yuanchen rubbed his brow and said, "No."
Wen Li didn't believe it and said, "You suddenly want to take an annual leave. This is not your style. If you really want to take a vacation, you will definitely apply for it at least a month in advance and arrange everything before taking a vacation. It will definitely not be so sudden."
Huo Yuanchen looked at her and smiled, saying, "You know me well?"
Wen Li didn't say anything. There was a time when she thought she knew Huo Yuanchen very well. After all, at that time, he was all in her eyes and heart, and she wanted to collect everything about him.
But now, she wasn't sure.
There were twelve completely blank years between her and Huo Yuanchen.
After waiting for a while, Huo Yuanchen said, "My parents have been like this lately, and I can't concentrate on my work. I'm taking a vacation to spend more time with my mom. Although I don't know how to get along with her, with you here, I shouldn't have nothing to talk about with her like before."
He touched Wen Li's forehead and said, "Maybe we can stop dating and take my mom out to play and relax with her?"
Wen Li thought this was a good idea. Qi Meizhen had been immersed in the sadness of Huo Mingqi's divorce recently. Taking her out to relax might make her feel better.
She nodded, "Where are we going?"
"You decide. Is there anywhere you want to go?"
There are many places Wen Li wants to go. She has been studying abroad and has not had much time to travel in China. There are many famous scenic spots that she has not had the opportunity to visit.
She mentioned a few places that were popular tourist destinations recently and asked Huo Yuanchen for his opinion.
Huo Yuanchen had no objection.
Wen Li knew that he was lazy and didn't want to spend time looking for travel guides and arranging routes. However, when she was abroad, she often made plans with her classmates to go out and have experience in self-guided tours, so she didn't worry about arranging travel routes.
As for joining a tour group, she didn't consider it at all. One reason was that joining a tour group was too stressful and Michelle Yim was not in a suitable condition to join a tour group.
Secondly, she couldn't imagine what an awkward scene it would be to have such a tall guy like Huo Yuanchen squeezed in a tourist bus with a group of old men and women, with the tour guide selling them all kinds of souvenirs.
However, Wen Li still had some questions that he couldn't help but express.
She asked him, "You're going out with me, so you don't have to worry about An Wen? Isn't she anemic?"
Huo Yuanchen said, "My dad has arranged for someone to take care of her, so I don't need to."
Wen Li thought about it and understood. An Wen had anemia because she donated blood to Zhang Li. Huo Mingqi must be grateful for such a great favor. So when An Wen fainted, Huo Mingqi sent someone to take care of her.
I don’t know who sent the person who could make Huo Yuanchen so angry that he doesn’t care about An Wen anymore.
She said that when he first came, he was so resentful, it turned out it was because of An Wen.
She was even insisting on using her and the clients as a scapegoat. She was almost wrongly accused.
Regardless, Wen Li was still looking forward to the suggestion of going out together. She made a lot of plans that day and even called Michelle Yim to ask if there was any place she wanted to go. The two of them discussed it enthusiastically for a long time.
Huo Yuanchen was reading a paper on Wen Li's computer while listening to her talking on the phone with Michelle Yim. He looked at her speechlessly several times.
We were just going somewhere to kill time, how could this discussion take so long?
Finally, Wen Li decided on an ancient city in Lin Province. It was said that the city was built nearly two thousand years ago. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers and had a beautiful environment.
The important thing is that the ancient city is not big, and there are many homestays inside, which is very suitable for the elderly to relax. She was afraid that Maggie Cheung would not be able to walk in a place that was too high and too tiring.
In the following days, when Wen Li was not busy, he was looking up travel guides, thinking about which attractions to visit, how to get there, which hotel to book, and how to arrange the daily schedule so as not to be too tired or too bored.
These things may seem small, but they are very energy-consuming. Even a small thing, if not done well, may ruin your mood for the trip.
Wen Li heard from Michelle Chik that she had never traveled with Huo Yuanchen. When Huo Yuanchen was young, she was busy investigating mistresses and trying to win back her husband's heart, and she had no mood to take Huo Yuanchen on a trip. When her heart died, Huo Yuanchen had grown up, and the mother-son relationship had faded. He always refused Michelle Chik's request to travel together.
Wen Li hopes that Michelle Yim can have a perfect trip, so she prepares very carefully.
Before leaving, she specifically said hello to her parents, saying that she would be going out to play for a few days and asked them to call her if they had any questions.
Wen Yongjie was very happy and told her, "Get along well with Yuanchen. I couldn't be more satisfied with this son-in-law. After you spend some time together, consider getting married. If you are embarrassed to bring it up, bring Yuanchen home and dad will talk to him in person."
