Wen Li thought that after hearing Huo Yuanchen's voice, she would get very excited and have a big fight with him.

But to her surprise, she just said coldly, "I'm not making trouble with you."

Huo Yuanchen laughed very coldly and said, "You didn't make a fuss? If you didn't make a fuss, how come all your things disappeared from my house? You're a grown-up, why are you still making a fuss like a child?"

There was a hint of coaxing in his words towards the end. He didn't believe she couldn't hear it.

He hoped that Wen Li would stop while he was ahead.

There should be a limit to being angry, and the patience he can give her is limited.

Wen Li sneered and said, "You said it's mine, isn't it normal for me to take it back to my own home? I'm not kidding, my mind is clearer than ever now."

Huo Yuanchen felt that she was being unreasonable and felt a little unhappy. Thinking about what she had promised him before she left on a business trip, he patiently asked her in a flirtatious tone, "What's wrong with you today? It's been several days and your relatives haven't left yet? Or did someone bully you and you took it out on me?"

Wen Li was almost amused by him, and said sarcastically, "Oh, Professor Huo, you still remember the day my relative left. You are so good at remembering dates, it's only been a week, you must not have forgotten it."

Huo Yuanchen didn't say anything, only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard.

Wen Li sneered and continued to speak quickly and anxiously, "Didn't Professor Huo go on a business trip with Professor Yu? Then why did Professor Yu come back first, but Professor Huo hasn't come back yet? Is it because the school thinks highly of Professor Huo and let you stay abroad for a few more days? Professor Huo, can you tell me what extra schedules you asked Professor Yu to take?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everything around her and on the phone fell into deathly silence.

Wen Li thought to himself, so this is what the novel meant when it said “the whole world is quiet.”

It's so fucking uncomfortable.

She wanted to hang up the phone, and then indulge herself, living a life of drunkenness and dreams, which was better than pretending to be dead in front of someone on the other end of the phone.

Huo Yuanchen spoke up at this time and said, "The extra days I stayed were not arranged by the school, but my personal schedule."

Wen Li clenched his hands around the phone, wanting him to continue talking but also afraid that he would say it out loud.

Because he used too much force, his fingers turned white and his knuckles were slightly deformed.

Huo Yuanchen said, "I met An Ran during those days."

The whole world became quiet again.

Wen Li heard a faint breathing sound, but couldn't tell whether it was from the other person or herself.

She just felt so uncomfortable in her heart that she wanted to throw something to make a louder noise.

But she ended up doing nothing.

She just said very calmly into the microphone, "I know."

Then he hung up the phone.

She sat on the bed for a while holding the phone in her hand, only to find that her face was covered with water stains since she didn't know when.

She stood up, went to the bathroom and washed her face vigorously, with such force that her skin was almost broken.

The pain was very effective. After she washed her face, she felt less uncomfortable.

She thought that as she hung up the phone, her awkward relationship with Huo Yuanchen was completely over.

Originally, it was a perfunctory boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, neither of them took the other seriously, and neither of them was sincere. It was good to break up like this now. It gave each other enough dignity and prevented them from really getting tired of each other in the end.

She even started to think about the follow-up work.

She couldn't tell her parents for the time being. She had to wait for a while, until her father's condition stabilized and he was in better health. Then she would reveal to her family little by little that she and Huo Yuanchen were not suitable for each other, so that her father could slowly accept the reality that they had broken up again.

Michelle Yim's side was simpler. That was Huo Yuanchen's mother, and he should be the one to explain the situation. At most, she would cooperate with his excuses so that he would not become a scumbag in his mother's eyes.

As for the rest, she and Huo Yuanchen had no financial disputes, and they hadn't given each other many gifts during their relationship, so it was easier to deal with them now. She could just find a courier to send back the hairpin and bag Huo Yuanchen gave her tomorrow morning.

In this way, it is completely cut off.

She smiled bitterly and thought, now no one can stop him from caring about his good sisters, maybe he is relieved now.

Wen Li gave himself a night of discomfort.

After that night, she still went to the studio to take photos, retouch films, and discuss business, not daring to miss anything.

When she got off work, Zhou Ying called and asked her if she wanted to have dinner together.

Wen Li readily agreed.

The two met at a hotpot restaurant on the street. They didn't order a double-flavored hotpot, but both ordered red oil. Soon they were both crying because of the spicy taste.

While wiping her tears, Zhou Ying asked Wen Li, "Did you have a fight with Professor Huo?"

Wen Li also wiped his tears, took a big gulp of iced juice, and asked, "How did you know?"

Zhou Ying said, "Professor Yu said that Professor Huo was late for work today and forgot to bring meeting materials to the meeting. Professor Huo was so unusual, so he asked me if I had made Professor Huo angry again."

Wen Li felt very wronged when she heard this. She was the one who was bullied and wronged when she was with Huo Yuanchen, so why did she become unreasonable in the eyes of others?

It can be seen how Huo Yuanchen described her in front of others.

Wen Li asked the waiter to bring beer, drank half a can in one breath, and then said, "Huo Yuanchen and I have broken up."

Zhou Ying was chewing a beef ball, and when she heard that, she lost control and the juice splashed all over the table, and even stained her clothes. She didn't care about her clothes, swallowed the beef in her mouth, and asked hurriedly, "Is it really divided? Why is it divided?"

Wen Li said indifferently, "He went abroad to see An Ran and stayed with An Ran for several days. I couldn't stand it, so we broke up."

The smile on Zhou Ying's face froze. She was silent for a long time, then asked Wen Li, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Wen Li shrugged. "I can't say how upset I am. I am more angry. I feel so stupid that I was played around by a scumbag."

Zhou Ying gave her a big chopstick of beef and comforted her, "In fact, from the beginning, you and Professor Huo both knew that you could not be together. Since you can't be together, it means that you are not suitable for each other. You don't need to waste your time on an unsuitable man in your prime years. Look forward, the right person for you must be waiting for you in front."

Wen Li smiled and said, "What are you waiting for? It's as if I can't live without a man. I don't have to be in a relationship."

Zhou Ying clinked glasses with her, "Men are just the spice of our lives. I wish our lives will be more colorful."

Wen Li drank it all in one gulp.

She thought that from then on, her life was back on track.

But she was still too naive.

Two weeks later, her mother Hu Huifen called her and said that the special medicine Pratt, which had always been supplied to her father on time, was suddenly out of stock.
