Wen Li wanted to shake off Huo Yuanchen's hand.
However, when she met Michelle Yim's worried gaze, she still showed kindness and cooperated with Huo Yuanchen until they sat down.
Huo Yuanchen handed her the menu and asked her to order.
She returned the menu and said calmly, "I'm not eating. I'm losing weight."
He looked at her coldly, smiled faintly and said, "You ate bag after bag of snacks while watching the drama. Why didn't you listen to you saying you wanted to lose weight?"
Wen Li said as a matter of course, "I just ate too many snacks and gained weight, so now I have to lose weight."
Huo Yuanchen's smile faded, and he called the waiter and ordered food for Wen Li.
"I ordered smoked haddock for you. It doesn't have much fat and won't affect your weight loss results," he said.
Wen Li said calmly, "I don't like smoked cod."
Huo Yuanchen paused and asked her, "What do you like to eat?"
Wen Li raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't like any of them. I've been eating Western food abroad for more than ten years. Do you think I would like Western restaurants?"
When he booked the restaurant, he clearly subconsciously made the reservation based on his and An Wen's habits, and he didn't consider at all what kind of food she, who had been studying abroad for many years, would like.
In the final analysis, he just doesn't care about her, which is why he is so indifferent to her.
When Wen Li was making such a fuss, Michelle Chik naturally noticed the conflict between the two. She immediately blamed her son and said to him, "Yuanchen, this is because you are not thoughtful. How can you date Wen Li without knowing what she likes and dislikes?"
Wen Li laughed coldly after hearing this. Although he didn't say anything, this laugh was ironic enough.
Huo Yuanchen glanced at her, but didn't get angry. He said calmly, "It was indeed my negligence."
Wen Li said directly, "Aunt Qi, it's not that Huo Yuanchen is inconsiderate. It's that when he was with me, he kept in mind other people's preferences."
Michelle Yim frowned and said, "How can this be? Yuanchen, you are really wronging Wen Li by doing this."
She paused, a little hesitant, but still said, "Don't learn from your father. What he did is wrong."
In fact, she wanted to say much more than that, but her son was not close to her. It was only recently with Wen Li that the relationship between mother and son eased. She had a lot of things in her heart, but she didn't know how to tell her son.
Huo Yuanchen didn't refute, nodded, and said, "I understand."
Wen Li secretly curled her lips and thought, he is pretending to be pretty good in front of his mother.
Maggie Cheung went to Wen Li to discuss opening a cake shop. She had been a housewife for too long and knew nothing about opening a shop. Her friends were all like her, rich wives from wealthy families. They could ask the consultant to buy jewelry, bags and dresses, but when it came to opening a shop, they would just pour cold water on her, saying that business was not easy and advised her to settle down and be a rich lady.
But Maggie Cheung was moved by Wen Li's words. Once the idea of opening a cake shop came to her mind, she could no longer stop it. She kept thinking about it in her mind and almost couldn't sleep or eat.
The Huo family is rich, and she wants to open a store. Even though her friends think she is wasting money, there are still people who rush to send her store information, hoping to take the opportunity to make some money from her as a store transfer fee.
Michelle Yim selected a few shops that she thought were good and showed them to Wen Li.
"I have personally visited these places. They are in good locations. They are all in commercial areas, so there is no need to worry about customer flow. Look at the decoration of these shops. They are not bad. After buying them, you can open a store directly."
Wen Li was stunned for a moment before saying, "Aunt Qi, are you planning to buy a shop and open a store?"
Michelle Yim was also stunned, "If you don't buy a shop to open a store, then you have to set up a street stall?"
She has been pampered for most of her life, so she cannot accept the idea of setting up a street stall. She said with some lingering fear , "I heard that setting up a street stall will get you arrested."
Wen Li's previous depressed mood was amused by her words, "Aunt Qi, who told you that you will be arrested for setting up a street stall? This is too outrageous. But cakes are fragile and easy to get dirty, so they are really not suitable for street stalls. I suggest you rent a shop first, so that the cost of testing the waters is low. If you don't want to open a store in the future, you can cancel the lease."
Michelle Chik's eyes widened. "Shop, can it still be rented?"
Wen Li smiled, "Of course, my studio is rented. Otherwise, with my financial ability, how could I afford such a large space. Also, I think the shops you are interested in are too big. How many cakes do you need to make to fill such a large space? In the early days of opening the shop, the reputation has not yet been established. If we can't sell all the cakes in one day, it will be a waste."
Only then did Maggie Cheung realize that there were so many tricks to opening a store. She had spent a lot of time investigating the store, but now she found it funny.
She nodded. "I didn't think it through. I'll listen to you and look for some smaller shops."
Wen Li also said, "I still have the contact information of the agent I rented the studio from. If you trust me, I'll ask the agent to ask for you. They are more professional in this kind of thing, so you don't have to work so hard."
Maggie Cheung said hurriedly, "Of course I believe you."
When the two were choosing a shop, they talked for a long time. When they finally parted, Wen Li really didn't eat a single bite.
Huo Yuanchen drove her back. On the way, he asked, "What do you like to eat? I'll buy it for you."
Wen Li looked at him with a half-smile and deliberately asked, "Whatever I want to eat, will you buy it for me?"
Huo Yuanchen said, "You haven't eaten, it's not good for your health. I remember there's food for sale outside the apartment, take a look and see if there's anything you want to eat."
Wen Li didn't say anything until they reached the night market outside the apartment. Then she pointed to a barbecue stand not far away and said, "I want to eat that."
Huo Yuanchen frowned, "That's not healthy."
Wen Li sneered, "Then don't eat it."
Huo Yuanchen glanced at her, stopped the car, and got out to buy something for her.
However, what was brought back was not the barbecue ordered by Wen Li, but a bowl of longan eight-treasure porridge and a bowl of steaming wontons.
Wen Li took it, and when getting off the car, he threw all the food into the trash can downstairs in front of Huo Yuanchen.
When Huo Yuanchen saw this scene, his expression changed slightly. He stood there, looking at Wen Li for a long time, and then he suppressed his temper and said, "I ordered these foods for you before, and you said you liked them."
Wen Li smiled at him and said lightly, "But I just don't feel like eating today."
After saying that, without paying any attention to what Huo Yuanchen said, he went straight upstairs, entered the room, and went to the guest room to sleep.
She lay in bed and thought, who is Huo Yuanchen? He probably has never been so angry since he was a child. It would be best if he couldn't stand it anymore and kicked her out.
As she thought about this, she felt that the future was bright, her mood relaxed, and she fell asleep quickly.
But while she was sleeping, she felt something was wrong. Someone lifted her quilt, squeezed in, and took off her clothes.
