Wen Li was furious when he saw Huo Yuanchen sitting steadily in the passenger seat.

"Who asked you to come? Get off."

Huo Yuanchen explained calmly, "I have something to do and need to go to town. I heard from the village chief that someone is going to drive there, so I came to take a ride. I didn't mean to take your car on purpose."

Wen Li sneered, "Professor Huo doesn't even need to think before telling a lie. So many of you came here by bus, but I drove my own car. You said you didn't know I was going to town, do you think I would believe you?"

Huo Yuanchen said, "Whether you believe it or not, I have no reason to lie to you. But since you are driving, that's just fine. I was worried about sitting in a car with a stranger and didn't know what to say."

Wen Li sneered and said, "Why should I let you take a ride? Do you know how long it takes to drive from the village to the town? It's over a hundred kilometers. You pay for the gas?"

Huo Yuanchen glanced at her and raised his eyebrows. "Okay, I'll pay for the gas. I'll transfer the money to you according to the charter price. Is that okay?"

Wen Li knew that he was not short of money. He acted so generously just to force her to submit.

She sneered and said, "Professor Huo is so rich, wouldn't it be too much of a disrespect to you if we charge you the normal charter price? Let's charge you the Rolls-Royce charter price."

Huo Yuanchen looked at her entry-level car, which cost less than 100,000 yuan, and smiled coldly, "Rolls-Royce? Why don't you go and rob it?"

Wen Li smiled and said, "Professor Huo can choose not to sit. I won't force you to buy anything."

Huo Yuanchen pursed his lips and said, "It's a Rolls-Royce, you drive it. When there's a signal, I'll definitely transfer it to you."

In fact, when Wen Li heard him say that it was the village chief who said she was going to drive to town, she knew that she couldn't get him out of the car.

If she really kicked him out of the car, the village chief would definitely come to persuade her. She couldn't tell anyone about the dirty things between her and Huo Yuanchen, so in the end she had to give him a ride reluctantly.

It would be better to kill him hard and vent my anger.

Wen Li didn't say a word all the way. Huo Yuanchen took the initiative to talk to her, but she refused to talk to him on the grounds that she had to concentrate on driving.

When they arrived in town, Huo Yuanchen transferred the fare to her and showed her the transfer record, "I hired your car and paid for the round trip. Don't leave me alone. There is still a return trip."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Wen Li meaningfully.

Wen Li felt guilty. She had indeed thought about leaving him in town and driving back alone. She hadn't expected Huo Yuanchen to be so cunning that he could even guess what she was thinking.

She bluffed, "Do you think everyone is like you?"

Huo Yuanchen raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with me?"

Wen Li specifically reminded him, "During the Chinese New Year, you dragged me to your dear sister's hometown, and said you would send me back the next day, but what happened? You were so happy at your dear sister's home that you didn't care about my life or death at all."

What she said was true, and Huo Yuanchen had no way to refute it. He was silent for a while, and said, "I had forgotten about that matter. You actually still remember it."

Wen Li sneered, "Yeah, it's not like you were thrown into an unfamiliar place where you can't even get a taxi, so of course you don't remember it. Why don't we try it today? I'll refund you half of the money, and I'll go back by myself later, and you stay here and think about how to get back. I guarantee that this experience will be deeply engraved in your memory and you'll never forget it."

Huo Yuanchen became even more silent.

After a while, he said, "It was indeed my fault that time. I apologize to you. I can promise you that I will never abandon you again."

Wen Li snorted contemptuously, thinking, his promise means nothing.

She saw a photo studio in the town and got off the bus to buy some photo paper.

Huo Yuanchen told her, "I'm going to the post office to pick up a package and will be back soon. Don't leave me behind."

Wen Li said impatiently, "I know. I'm not as cruel as you."

He looked embarrassed for a moment and seemed to want to reach out and hug her, but when he saw that she didn't look well, he gave up.

Wen Li watched him leave and thought, although there is no express delivery point in the village, the postman will deliver the express once a week, and the next delivery will be three days later. He made a special trip to the town, but he didn't know how important this express delivery was, and he couldn't wait for three days.

She bought a whole box of large-size photo paper at a photo studio. It was so heavy that she had a hard time carrying it by herself. When she tried to put it in the trunk of her car, she couldn't lift it high enough. She tried several times but always fell short.

She was so angry that she wanted to scold Huo Yuanchen. He could only help a little at this time, but he was not here and she didn't know when he would be back.

Just as I was getting anxious, a big hand reached out from the side.

Wen Li was startled and almost let go of the box. The man chuckled and quickly changed to holding the box with both hands.

"Xiao Wenli, what a coincidence." Lu Ke chuckled and said, "Why do you always run into trouble every time I see you? Are you so miserable?"

Wen Li was relieved when she saw that it was Lu Ke. She was very grateful for Lu Ke's help, but she still had to correct her, "It's not that I'm miserable, it's that every time I get into trouble, Brother Lu Ke, you just happen to appear and help me solve the problem."

Lu Ke smiled calmly, "Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true."

Wen Li asked him, "Are you going back? Are you done with your work?"

When she and Lu Ke parted, Lu Ke said that he would stay here for about three or four days. Calculating the time, it was not surprising that he would appear here.

Lu Ke nodded and said, "Yes, everything is done. How about you? Is your smile photo charity going well?"

Wen Li really admired Lu Ke's ability to come up with names. She had just mentioned to him the purpose of her coming here when they were having dinner together last time, and he had just given her a name right away?

She hummed and said, "It's OK. I've never been to the countryside before, so I'm not used to living there and I'm still slowly adapting. But the people in the village are very simple and kind, and they're very welcoming to me."

As she spoke, she thought of the photos she took of the grandmothers yesterday. Her eyes lit up unconsciously, and she chattered, "At first, the grandmothers were very nervous in front of the camera, so I had to keep teasing them and let them think about happy things. The grandmother who took the photo yesterday told me that it was the first time in her life that she had taken a photo, and that was what made her happy. Hearing her say that, I was also very happy. I feel that I am doing something meaningful."

When she said these words, Lu Ke listened carefully. After she finished speaking, he encouraged her, "Since it is meaningful, then keep doing it. Xiao Wenli has always worked hard, and sooner or later she will become a great photographer."

Wen Li looked at him speechlessly, "Don't tease me, I know how much I weigh."

The two stood by the road and talked. There were not many motor vehicles in the town, but there were many motorcycles. Wen Li did not notice the motorcycle speeding on the road, but Lu Ke did.

He was afraid that something might happen to her, so he reached out and pulled her. In a hurry, his hand fell on her waist. From a distance, the two of them looked very intimate.

When Huo Yuanchen came from the post office to find Wen Li, what he saw was such an ambiguous scene.

His face suddenly turned very ugly.
