Chapter 223. Didn’t take her seriously

Wen Li did not have any plans to go out for photo taking today. She stayed indoors the whole day and dressed casually but decently, not exposing any part of her body that should not be exposed.

But Huo Yuanchen still felt that the shirt she was wearing was too tight. Her curves were clearly visible, like a peach bud about to bloom, which made people think of something else.

He felt it for a while, and said in a somewhat strange tone, "You also dressed like this when you were facing that greasy-haired man just now?"

Wen Li thought about it for a while before realizing that the greasy-haired and powdered man he was talking about was the internet celebrity who asked her to take a photo with him.

She cupped his cheeks and moved his head away from her before she said unhappily, "Don't speak ill of my clients."

Huo Yuanchen looked very unhappy. He remembered again how Cheng Yang pretended to be a client to approach Wen Li.

He thought she was stupid and had not learned her lesson after being cheated by a man once.

In fact, it’s also because Wen Li is so good-looking, especially her eyes. When she is not angry, her eyes are watery when she looks at everyone, as if she is full of affection.

Plus, she has a great figure, and it seems like she's trying to seduce someone.

Huo Yuanchen saw Wen Li's coat on the back of the chair, so he told her, "It's getting colder these days, put on your coat to avoid catching a cold."

Wen Li was about to retort him, but suddenly remembered her goal, so she swallowed her words, and draped her arms limply around Huo Yuanchen 's neck , wrapping around him like a snake, and asked him in a soft voice , "If I catch a cold, will Professor Huo take care of me?"

Huo Yuanchen raised his eyebrows and said, "The score."

Wen Li rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking, why don't you care about An Wen's situation? Are you so fussy about it now that it's my turn?

On the surface, she still looked gentle and graceful, and asked him with a smile, "How do we tell the difference?"

Perhaps she was pretending a little too much. Huo Yuanchen looked at her several times and said lightly, "It depends on whether I am busy by then."

As he said this, he broke away from Wen Li and went to get his coat.

Wen Li was still sitting on the table, swinging his slender legs, and said slowly, "Professor Huo, are you leaving now? Well, be careful on the road."

Huo Yuanchen said "hmm", and finally turned back, held her waist, and kissed her for a while.

After the kiss, he reminded her, "Eat well."

Wen Li agreed obediently and smiled at him gently.

Huo Yuanchen's gaze couldn't help but deepen.

He took out his phone and asked her to scan the QR code to add him as a friend, and asked her, "When can you think it through?"

Wen Li scanned the code, his eyes full of confusion.

He pursed his lips and said clearly, "You said you wanted to consider it, and I gave you time. But you can't keep me waiting and hanging, right?"

Wen Li bit her lip and said in a tangled tone, "I had already decided to make peace with you. But yesterday..."

She raised her head and looked at him pitifully, with grievance visibly written on her face, "... Professor Huo, you always put An Wen before me, and I feel uncomfortable. You were going to take me back yesterday, but she got a fishbone stuck in her throat right away, which was such a coincidence. Regardless of whether she did it on purpose or not, you went back on your word and left me for her, which made me lose face. Think about it, which woman can stand her man treating her like this?"

Huo Yuanchen paused as he tried to get the car keys, looked at her deeply for a long time, and said calmly, "I understand."

As he spoke, he looked at his watch, then walked away without looking back.

The grievance on Wen Li's face disappeared after his figure disappeared.

She explained to Huo Yuanchen how An Wen used to win men, but he didn't deny it immediately. Does that mean that he believed her a little?

She didn't know how much change Huo Yuanchen's "I know" could bring, but she began to feel a little curious.

I really want to know if An Wen can use such disgusting means to snatch Huo Yuanchen away in the future.

But she didn't expect that as soon as Huo Yuanchen left her, he was sent on a business trip abroad.

It was three days later when Wen Li learned the news. She stared at her phone in silence.

She added Huo Yuanchen back to her friend list, but he went abroad without even saying hello to her.

Didn't take her seriously at all.

Wen Li didn't want to appear too proactive, so she didn't call Huo Yuanchen or send him a message, wanting to see if he would tell her on his own initiative.

Two days later, she saw Li Hong browsing her Moments, and the page happened to be fixed on a nine-square grid of photos. She took a look as she passed by, and saw that they were all high-end skin care products and brand-name bags.

She casually asked Li Hong, "Is this the purchasing agent you added? The item looks quite authentic. Give me a business card later so I can buy a bag for my mother."

Li Hong hesitated and said awkwardly , "This, this is An Wen's circle of friends."

Wen Li understood it immediately.

She also felt that her expression was a little ugly at the moment, so she curled her lips and asked casually, "Is this what Huo Yuanchen bought for An Wen? Is he back?"

Li Hong shook her head and said honestly, "The teacher's academic exchange meeting will last for two weeks, and he won't be back until next week. These things are... sent by him to An Xuemei."

She hadn't said anything else. On the day the package arrived, everyone was busy in the teaching and research office. An Wen very familiarly called a few senior students to help with the express delivery.

There were several express boxes piled up in the teaching and research office. While An Wen was unpacking them, she told everyone how expensive and difficult to buy these things were. The implication was that Professor Huo valued her very much.

As a fellow student, Li Hong knew that she could not compare to the more than ten years of friendship between An Wen and Professor Huo, but sometimes, she couldn't help but envy An Wen.

After the envy, she began to blame herself and thought that Professor Huo had been very good to her and she had no other strengths. Only by working hard on scientific research and publishing more papers could she be worthy of Professor Huo's cultivation of her.

She was struggling with her conscience for a while and forgot to delete An Wen's updates, allowing Wen Li to see those things.

She was feeling quite uneasy.

Wen Li didn't react at all. He just said a few words to her and left.

However, in the evening, Wen Li still sent a picture to Huo Yuanchen.

Along with the pictures, there are also five thousand dollars.

She calculated the time difference before sending the message. Huo Yuanchen should have just finished dinner and it was not time for him to go to bed yet.

Sure enough, less than half an hour after she sent the message, Huo Yuanchen called her.

Ask her, "What do you mean?"

"Asking Professor Huo to help me buy things, what else can I do?" Wen Li said.

The other side sneered and said, "You are quite good at ordering people around."

Wen Li said with a smile, "Professor Huo is so good at shopping, so please buy some for me. I want to give it to someone."

Huo Yuanchen didn't say "yes" or "no". Instead, he reported a flight number and said, "I'll be back next Wednesday. Pick me up at the airport."
