Chapter 207. It feels good to have someone stand up for her

Wen Li and Huo Yuanchen stood in the corridor of the apartment, and neither of them spoke first.

Perhaps Wen Li had been out for too long, Lu Ke opened the door and saw the two people in the corridor. He was surprised at first, but soon greeted Huo Yuanchen calmly and explained, "I haven't seen Zhou Ying and Wen Li for a long time. It just so happened that they had a dinner date and invited me to join them."

Wen Li frowned, wanting to remind Lu Ke that she didn't need to explain anything to Huo Yuanchen. She could eat with whoever she wanted, and Huo Yuanchen couldn't control her.

Huo Yuanchen had already walked towards Lu Ke and said to him, "It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet. Do you mind taking me along?"

Lu Ke quickly moved aside to let him in.

Wen Li shouted behind him, "I mind. I didn't buy much food. If you eat it, it won't be enough for us."

But Huo Yuanchen had long legs and walked fast. Before she could finish her words, he had already sat down at the dining table, in the same seat that Wen Li had sat in before.

There was a small daisy on the bowl that Wen Li often used. He had hung out with her in the apartment many times before and recognized her bowl at a glance.

He picked up the chopsticks to eat. Zhou Ying reminded him, "That one was used by Wen Li."

He said "hmm" lightly, not showing any disgust, and continued to use it smoothly. He even took the half-eaten bowl of food from Wen Li and ate it.

When Wen Li came back, she saw that her bowls and chopsticks had been used by Huo Yuanchen.

She pointed at his nose and asked, "You used my dishes and chopsticks, what should I use?"

Huo Yuanchen slowly dipped the beef roll in sauce and fed it to her mouth.

Wen Li guessed that he meant to share a set of tableware with her? She hid back in resistance and said disdainfully, "There's your saliva on the chopsticks, I don't want to eat."

Huo Yuanchen ate the beef roll himself and had no intention of giving her his seat.

Wen Li was so angry that he kicked his chair, "Get up right there. Who told you to sit in my seat?"

Huo Yuanchen raised his eyebrows lightly, "Don't you dislike my saliva and don't want to use this set of tableware?"

Lu Ke tried to smooth things over, "Little Wen Li, sit here. I'll go and help you mix the ingredients."

Wen Li was so angry at Huo Yuanchen that he was almost full. He was too embarrassed to bother Lu Ke, a customer, so he said angrily, "No need, Brother Lu Ke, I'm full."

Lu Ke frowned and said, "You didn't eat much just now, how come you are full? You ate too little."

Huo Yuanchen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wen Li, then said in a light tone, "She is not familiar with you, so she can't let go in front of you. When she stayed overnight with me, she even asked me to go out and buy her a midnight snack in the middle of the night."

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, then smiled, his expression indifferent and it was impossible to tell what his emotion was.

Wen Li was upset. She had actually asked Huo Yuanchen to buy her midnight snacks, and she couldn't find any words to refute him. She was so angry that her teeth itched, and she was even more annoyed.

If she had known that Huo Yuanchen would ridicule her for this matter one day, she would rather starve to death than eat the midnight snack he bought for her.

She stepped hard on him under the table. She said sarcastically, "Eat quickly and leave quickly after eating, otherwise your good sister will call you again to urge you. It's so dark at night, and she's a girl in her twenties who will be scared without you."

Huo Yuanchen looked at her and said without any emotion, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but your ability to irritate people has improved a lot."

Wen Li shrugged, "I don't have that ability, I'm just telling the truth."

Huo Yuanchen said calmly, "Don't worry, An Wen won't look for me tonight. I just completed the hospitalization procedures for her. The medical conditions in the countryside are not good, so her legs still need to be carefully checked before I can rest assured."

Wen Li was speechless. It turned out that he had just finished his work with An Wen and had time to come to her. She even suspected that An Wen had saved his life, so why did he care so much about An Wen?

When she was talking to Huo Yuanchen, Lu Ke couldn't interrupt. Zhou Ying said indignantly, "Professor Huo, you are so good to An Wen, aren't you afraid that your future wife will be jealous?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Wen Li meaningfully.

Wen Li frowned. She was also a little curious. Since Huo Yuanchen kept saying that he and An Wen were just siblings, would he still take care of An Wen in every detail after he got married?

The one who can make him willingly marry must be quite capable. Maybe he will fight with An Wen at that time.

Just thinking about it made her look forward to it.

Huo Yuanchen looked at Wen Li and said calmly, "Since she is the person I have decided to spend my life with, she must have a good personality and will not target An Wen all the time."

Wen Li rolled her eyes. He was indirectly saying that she was stingy and had a bad personality.

She didn't know what was wrong with Huo Yuanchen. He complained about her in every way, but he kept getting close to her and she couldn't get rid of him.

Lu Ke spoke up at this time. He said calmly, "A girl's attitude towards this kind of thing has nothing to do with her personality. Marriage is a constraint on the responsibilities and obligations of both husband and wife. Since you are married, you must clearly draw a line between yourself and other members of the opposite sex. You can't get involved with the opposite sex just because your partner has a soft personality. It's a bit of a bully to treat people differently."

Zhou Ying's eyes lit up, and she immediately wanted to high-five Lu Ke, "You're right, absolutely right."

Huo Yuanchen glanced at Lu Ke indifferently, smiled without any emotion , and said , "So what do you say now that you are in the home of a person of the opposite sex?"

Lu Ke said calmly, "I am currently single and can accept invitations from any single person of the opposite sex. If I am no longer single, I will consciously keep my distance from the opposite sex. Of course, if Wen Li is not single, then I will solemnly apologize to her significant other and leave now."

Wen Li immediately said, "Brother Lu Ke, don't leave. I'm single, and I can't be more single. You can come to see me anytime."

Huo Yuanchen looked at her coldly, but finally said nothing.

He ate very quickly afterwards, and after taking a few bites with his chopsticks, he said he was full.

Wen Li was eager for him to leave, so he asked him to go to the corridor to talk. He said to Zhou Ying and Lu Ke, "I'll be back soon. Don't leave yet. Let's chat when I come back."

Zhou Ying looked at her and pointed at Huo Yuanchen with her chin, signaling her to pay attention, because that person didn't look very happy.

Wen Li gave her a reassuring look and went out with Huo Yuanchen.

In fact, she felt that there was nothing much to say. She had already explained clearly to Huo Yuanchen in the text message about what happened that day when Zhang Li fell. There was really no need for him to make this trip again.

After they left the house, he asked her bluntly, "You mean to say that someone had asked the jewelry store clerk to delete the video before you rushed over to copy the surveillance video?"

Wen Li nodded, "Yes, that's what I guessed."

Huo Yuanchen was silent for a while. There was an inexplicable light flashing in his deep eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a long while, he spoke again and asked Wen Li, "Just tell me, who do you suspect? An Wen or Aunt Li?"
