Wen Li's heart, which had been hanging for many days, finally settled down after seeing Lu Ke.

She might not believe what others said, but as her brother's best classmate and close friend, she believed what Lu Ke said without a doubt.

After Lu Ke finished explaining everything to her, he said, "I'm moving here, and it's too messy, otherwise I would definitely keep you to talk in detail. But don't worry, I won't leave Hai City for the time being. If you have anything you want to ask me, you can call me anytime. My domestic number has not changed, it's still the same as before."

Wen Li nodded. Seeing that his place was indeed quite messy, he was embarrassed to disturb him any further, so he said, "Then I'll be leaving first. Goodbye, Brother Lu Ke."

Lu Ke insisted on seeing her off downstairs. Before leaving, he said to her, "Give my regards to your parents. I will visit them when I am done with this busy period."

Wen Li nodded and spoke.

When the two of them talked, there was a familiarity that no one else could interrupt.

Huo Yuanchen looked at Wen Li and Lu Ke saying goodbye with a complicated look. After driving the car for a distance, he said calmly, "You and your brother's roommate have a good relationship?"

Wen Li nodded, with no intention of hiding anything. "Brother Lu Ke was my brother's college roommate, and they had a very good relationship. Later, when I went abroad, Brother Lu Ke happened to be studying for a master's degree not far from me. He was asked by my brother to visit me at my school occasionally on weekends."

Huo Yuanchen asked her, "Are you and him okay?"

Wen Li sighed and said, "How can I be that lucky? When he was studying for his master's degree, I was still in the preparatory class. I have seen his girlfriend, she is very beautiful, the kind that makes people unable to take their eyes off. I guess in his eyes, I am just a fool who knows nothing, so he will not be attracted to me."

Huo Yuanchen glanced at her and sneered, "It's rare that you would praise others for their beauty."

Wen Li felt that his words were a prejudice against her. Who said that beautiful people would not praise others for their beauty?

He asked again, "What you meant by that just now is that if he didn't have a girlfriend, would you have thought about being with him?"

Wen Li tilted his head and glanced at him without saying anything.

Somehow, when Huo Yuanchen saw this, he felt that she was quite guilty.

He sneered in his heart and unconsciously stepped on the accelerator harder. The car was running on the deserted streets late at night. The lights were blurry and the street scene was rapidly receding. Wen Li clung to the seat tightly and endured for a long time. He couldn't help but say, "Can you drive slower?"

Huo Yuanchen said indifferently, "Wouldn't it be better to send you home early?"

Wen Li pursed her lips for a while before lowering her voice and saying, "Huo Yuanchen, drive slower. I feel carsick."

Huo Yuanchen ignored her, but the car slowed down after all.

He sent her home, and before leaving, he told her, "Go to bed early, don't turn off your phone, I have something to talk to you about tomorrow morning."

Wen Li endured the discomfort after motion sickness and asked him , "What can you do with me?"

Huo Yuanchen reached out and ruffled her hair, smiled gently, and said, "You'll know tomorrow morning."

Wen Li waved his hand away and said impatiently, "But I don't want to see you."

Huo Yuanchen sneered and said, "You are really interesting. When you needed me, you were really obedient to me. Now that you don't need me anymore, you don't want to see me anymore."

Wen Li said calmly, "I am just like this, selfish and treacherous. It's not too late for you to see through me now. I have such a bad character and I am not worthy of you at all. You don't have to pester me to get back together. You should find a woman who is worthy of you as soon as possible, and don't let me, a rotten man, delay you in vain."

Huo Yuanchen raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "You don't have to belittle yourself just to get rid of me. Your character has never been what I like. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning and show you a good show."

Wen Li didn't say it was good, nor did he say it was bad.

Huo Yuanchen took it as her consent. He looked at her face and resisted the urge to follow her upstairs. "Okay, go back now."

Wen Li didn't say anything more to him. He took his things, got out of the car, and left without looking back.

Huo Yuanchen watched the lights in the corridor on the floor where her apartment was located light up and then dim, and knew that she had arrived home, so he drove away.

Early the next morning, Wen Li was still sleeping soundly, and he came to pick her up.

Wen Li was reluctant to get up, but he didn't give her a chance to refuse. He said, "I'll give you ten minutes to wash up. That's enough."

Wen Li wanted to say that she was very slow at putting on makeup.

But Huo Yuanchen had already hung up the phone.

She didn't believe it, so she slowly got up, washed her face, and brushed her teeth. Before she could spit out the toothpaste foam, Huo Yuanchen had already pushed the door open.

Wen Li was so startled that he forgot to take the toothbrush out of his mouth. He asked vaguely, "How did you get in?"

Huo Yuanchen looked at her with disdain and said, "The password you set is too simple. Anyone with a little bit of brains can crack it."

Wen Li rinsed her mouth and was about to say that he was trespassing when he came over and walked out holding the collar of her pajamas.

"Ten minutes are up."

Wen Li shouted anxiously, "Where are you taking me? I haven't changed my clothes yet, and I haven't put on makeup yet. Huo Yuanchen, let me go."

Huo Yuanchen pushed her out the door, closed it, and then dragged her into the elevator.

As she walked, she said nonchalantly, "No need to put on makeup. It's not like I haven't seen you without makeup before. You look pretty good."

He stuffed Wen Li into the car, and when he bent down to fasten her seat belt, his fingers accidentally touched her chest. Through the thin material of her pajamas, he immediately realized that there was nothing inside her.

His eyes flashed quickly, and after fastening her seat belt, he pinched her chest again without making a sound.

Wen Li sensed the pain and slapped the back of his hand hard, "What are you doing?"

He looked up at her without any emotion and said calmly, "It was just an accident."

The ending tone was quite meaningful, obviously accusing her of being stingy and not letting him pinch her.

Wen Li said, "We have broken up, you should be more careful. Otherwise, I can sue you for sexual harassment."

He looked at her for a while with a playful look in his eyes. In the end, he said nothing and drove her to the club that Cheng Yang asked her to go to yesterday.

Wen Li was confused, "Why did you bring me here?"

Huo Yuanchen held her hand as she was about to release the seat belt and said , "Why are you in such a hurry? Wait a moment."

Wen Li didn't know what he wanted her to wait for. She reached out to open the car door, but failed to open it after several attempts. Then she realized that Huo Yuanchen had locked the car door a long time ago.

She was so angry that she wanted to hit him, but as soon as her fist touched his clothes, he grabbed her wrist.

He took her hand and forced her to interlace her fingers with his. He nodded his chin forward and said, "Here it comes."

Wen Li followed his gaze and saw Cheng Yang walking out of the club. He had not changed his clothes, still wearing the same outfit as yesterday. He looked quite decadent, and there was a sinister look in his eyes that she had never seen in him before.

She looked at him with complicated eyes as he stood on the side of the road, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, lit the cigarette with skillful movements, and took two deep puffs.

Before he had finished smoking, a luxury car pulled up beside him. He glanced at the license plate, bent down and knocked on the passenger window, his eyes filled with viciousness.

Soon, the car door opened and a woman wearing sunglasses got out of the car.

Wen Li could see clearly that the woman's leg was still covered with thick plaster.
