Chapter 220. He gave others enough confidence

In the end, Wen Li didn't know whether he won or lost the bet.

Before she heard Huo Yuanchen's reply, she arrived at her destination.

Huo Yuanchen parked the car in front of the restaurant, motioned for her and An Wen to get out, and went to find a parking space alone.

As soon as he left, An Wen stared at Wen Li, her face puffed up and the anger in her eyes not concealed at all.

Wen Li raised an eyebrow at her, "You have something to tell me?"

An Wen was originally very angry with her, but suddenly she smiled and said confidently, "What you said in the car just now, weren't you trying to sow discord between me and Brother Yuanchen? You are wrong. Brother Yuanchen and I have a good relationship."

As she spoke, she thought of something else and smiled even more brightly, "And those ugly neck pillows you bought, aren't they just to assert your sovereignty in front of me? So boring, I don't care at all, okay? Brother Yuanchen has been driving this car for several years, and he got tired of it and wanted to change the car, so he let you drive it. Do you believe that when I get my driver's license, Brother Yuanchen will give me a new car, and I can choose it myself?"

Wen Li looked at her for a while and said, "Do you know that the words you just said sounded like something you would say when your defense is broken?"

An Wen's expression suddenly changed. She blurted out, "What are you so proud of? You are just a woman that Brother Yuanchen keeps around to play with. Just like his car, I liked it when I first bought it, but I got tired of it after driving it for a few years and I can give it to someone else with just one sentence."

Wen Li lowered her eyes. In fact, she couldn't figure out why Huo Yuanchen came to her to ask for a reconciliation. She guessed that it was probably because he was not tired of her yet and wanted to continue playing with her.

She didn't know to what extent he would indulge her just to have fun. Would it be enough for her to take revenge on An Wen?

She thought about it and said to An Wen, "Everyone will get bored after a while. But a person's aesthetic direction is fixed, just like buying a car, there are only a few models that you like over and over again, and some cars that you didn't like at first, but later, after looking at them for a long time, they become even less attractive."

An Wen bit her lip, sneered at her, and said, "Brother Yuanchen really likes something other than your type."

Wen Li knew that she was referring to An Ran.

She said that with such certainty that Wen Li had no room to refute. If she wasn't very confident, she would never have said such a thing.

Wen Li couldn't help but compare herself with An Ran. Although she and Huo Yuanchen could barely be considered childhood sweethearts, the two families had only been neighbors for two years at most. At that time, in Huo Yuanchen's eyes, she was just a hopeless student, and he didn't even bother to look at her.

How could she compare with the more than ten years of affection between An Ran and him?

Huo Yuanchen was very kind to the two sisters of the An family. He was very considerate and attentive to them in every way.

He gave An Wen enough confidence to say this to her face.

On the contrary, she didn't have the confidence of An Wen to dare to say, "You are wrong. The person Huo Yuanchen really likes is me."

Wen Li had a rather tasteless meal, but he just had to deal with it reluctantly just to save Michelle Yim's face.

On the contrary, An Wen was chattering non-stop. She complained to Huo Yuanchen that her teacher was too strict, then said that Li Hong made a mistake in explaining the experimental steps to her, and then talked about how fun the newly opened amusement park was.

She kept staring at Huo Yuanchen with shining eyes, and the topic was always about herself. She didn't ask much about Michelle Yim's situation.

Michelle Yim noticed that Wen Li was not in a good mood, so she called out to Huo Yuanchen and said, "Yuanchen, Wen Li can't reach it, help her pick up a piece of fish."

Huo Yuanchen was about to pick up some fish with the serving chopsticks when An Wen came up to him and whispered, "Brother Yuanchen, can you leave that piece of fish for me? There are no bones there. You know, I'm not very good at picking out fish bones."

Huo Yuanchen picked up the meat from the fish's belly and gave it to An Wen.

He picked up some meat from the fish's back and gave it to Wen Li, and asked caringly, "Do you want me to pick out the fish bones for you?"

Wen Li glanced at the fish belly on An Wen's plate and said, "No need, I can pick out the bones myself."

Huo Yuanchen picked up a few more dishes for her with his chopsticks, but she was not picky. She ate whatever he picked up, and seemed like she was easy to feed.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at her for a while, then said, "You don't have much to say today."

Wen Li put down her chopsticks. She was full, so she leaned back and moved a little further away from the table.

She glanced at Huo Yuanchen and said calmly, "When I was a child, the etiquette teacher my father hired taught me not to talk while eating or sleeping. Talking too much while eating will cause your saliva to splash into the food, which is very unhygienic."

An Wen immediately looked at Huo Yuanchen aggrievedly. She knew that Wen Li was talking about her.

Huo Yuanchen didn't see it, he was looking at Wen Li the whole time. Seeing her wiping her mouth, he asked, "Are you full now?"

"Yeah." Wen Li nodded, "I don't have much appetite."

Seeing that Wen Li and Huo Yuanchen's relationship had improved recently, Michelle Yim thought that Wen Li had changed his mind and was willing to be with Huo Yuanchen, so she wanted to bring the two of them together.

She smiled and said, "Yuanchen, Wen Li has an appointment with someone to take photos later, so it's not good to keep her waiting. She doesn't have a car, so go and see her off."

Huo Yuanchen looked at Wen Li in surprise, "You still have a job?"

Wen Li nodded, "Office rent is very expensive, I also need to earn money to eat, right?"

He went to get the car keys and said, "Let's go. I'll take you there."

Just as Wen Li was about to get up, he heard An Wen cry out "Ouch".

"Brother Yuanchen, there's a fish bone stuck in my throat. It hurts so much."

Huo Yuanchen immediately pulled An Wen up and said, "Let's go to the hospital."

He took two steps, looked back at Wen Li, and asked her, "What are you going to do? How about you take my car and I'll take you after we get to the hospital? It won't take too long."

Wen Li silently looked at An Wen's red face. She really looked extremely painful. When she saw her tears falling, I felt pity for her.

She looked at him for a while, then slowly lowered her head and said calmly, "It's okay, I can just take a taxi. You guys go first."

Huo Yuanchen wanted to say something, but An Wen pulled his sleeve and said pitifully, "Brother Yuanchen, my throat hurts."

He didn't say anything more and hurried away with An Wen.

After watching her son leave, Michelle Yim turned to ask Wen Li, "You just watched him take An Wen away?"

Wen Li smiled coldly and said, "What's the use of me watching or not? In his heart, An Wen is still more important than me."

Michelle Yim pursed her lips and said angrily, "Then just ignore him and let him worry. When he remembers your kindness, he will know whose side to side with at the critical moment."

Wen Li didn't believe in the sayings of a prodigal son turning over a new leaf or repenting. She thought those were all made up to trick women into giving everything to men.

She changed the subject and said, "Aunt Qi, can I take your car?"

Michelle Yim naturally agreed.

On the way, Wen Li sent a message to Huo Yuanchen, saying that she had returned.

She wanted to test his attitude and see if he would call her as soon as he saw the message.
