Chapter 229. Wen Li, I also feel chilled

Wen Li was very angry, but she didn't want to quarrel with Huo Yuanchen at all at this moment.

It was not because she had calmed down, but because she felt that arguing was useless. He was a very stubborn person and would not change at all because of what she said.

I quarreled with him before because I still had expectations of him and tried to change the status quo through quarreling. Now I don’t even have the slightest unrealistic fantasy.

She lifted her eyelids and glanced at Huo Yuanchen, then said lazily, "There's nothing to argue about. Go away."

Huo Yuanchen pursed his lips and looked at her for a while, then asked, "You really have nothing to say to me?"

Wen Li shook his head, "It was there before, but not now."

Huo Yuanchen did not let her go. He stared at her in silence for a while and said, "If you don't have anything to say, then I will say it."

Wen Li said "Oh" and waited for him to speak.

Then Huo Yuanchen said, "It takes three hours to drive from Hai City to here. I came all the way here for you, but you didn't even give me a good look. I didn't even have a meal when I was with you. Wen Li, put yourself in my shoes. If you were me, wouldn't you be angry?"

He paused, as if he was suppressing his anger, and frowned as he said, "You said I pretended to be Lu Ke 's gift, but it was your father who misunderstood and said I bought it. I can't expose your father in front of so many relatives and say he made a mistake. Besides, the red envelope I prepared for grandma is no less than the gift from Lu Ke. I will feel uncomfortable if you are so sarcastic to me."

Wen Li listened to him quietly, then asked expressionlessly, "Anything else?"

Huo Yuanchen looked at her and saw disdain in her eyes. He felt a chill in his heart and suddenly felt that the words he had just said to her were quite meaningless.

"No more," he said.

He still didn't let go of her hand, waiting for her to explain to him.

Wen Li lowered her eyes, looked at her toes and said, "Although your red envelope is not small, it is far inferior to Lu Ke's gift. I can see that Lu Ke carefully selected it for my grandma, but you didn't spend any time on my family. I know you are rich, but you don't feel bad for using tens of thousands of dollars to send my grandma away, but I am heartbroken."

She was finally irritated by him, and when she spoke out her grievances, her chest rose and fell because of her excessive emotions. She had to stop and take a breath before she could continue.

"Yu Jingchen wanted to give Zhou Ying a gift, and he even came to ask me. What about you? If you don't know what gift to give my grandma, why don't you come to ask me? Besides, Huo Yuanchen, I don't believe you can't choose a gift. Every time you go abroad, you remember to buy gifts for An Wen and An Wen's mother. Every time you go to An Wen's house, you buy a lot of gifts. But why is it that when it comes to my family, I only deserve your red envelope?"

She stared at a drop of water that suddenly fell on the cement floor and was stunned for a moment before continuing, "I don't covet your money, but I am also a human being, and as a human being I have seven emotions and six desires. I will compare myself with An Wen, and the result is that I am inferior to her in every way. How can I not be disappointed?"

Huo Yuanchen had no idea that this was what made Wen Li angry. He was stunned for a moment, then wanted to hug her.

But she dodged.

She said, "Don't you have something else to do? Now that the fight is over, you should leave."

Huo Yuanchen looked at her for a while and explained calmly, "I really didn't think carefully about the gift. It was too hasty and I didn't have time to prepare."

Wen Li opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back into his stomach.

Huo Yuanchen pulled her arm and asked a little unnaturally, "Is there any place to eat near your house? I drove all morning and didn't eat a bite at your house. I'm very hungry now."

Wen Li understood that he was trying to make peace and give her a way out.

She knew in her heart that if she followed his words at this time, honestly took him to a nearby restaurant, pretended that the matter was over, and then said a few nice words to him, it would definitely help her plan.

But she just couldn't swallow this breath, and said irrationally, "Why are you eating here in my house? You can't get used to the food here. Go to An Wen's house to eat. Her hospital meals are delicious."

Huo Yuanchen's expression immediately turned ugly.

But he still held back his anger and said, "An Wen is indeed sick. I sent her back to the An family yesterday. I didn't intend to hide this from you. But I didn't stay overnight at the An family. When you sent me a message last night, I was on my way back to Hai City. I came from Hai City today. If you don't believe me, you can check my dashcam."

Wen Li yawned at an inopportune time. She had gotten up too early today and was feeling sleepy after having eaten her fill.

She covered her mouth and said, "You don't have to explain anything to me. An Wen is sick, you must be very anxious, of course you have to take care of her first. I don't care, I just have a self-limiting viral cold, just drink more hot water."

When Huo Yuanchen saw her yawning, he had already returned to his indifferent expression. When he heard her absent-minded tone, the slight guilt he felt towards her disappeared.

He used to think that the reason why she always quarreled with him was probably because there was some misunderstanding that she hadn't made clear, and she was petty and kept quarreling with him.

I just thought that since I wanted to get back together with her, no matter what conflicts there were, I would try my best to make things clear and explain what needed to be explained. She probably wasn't an unreasonable person, and as long as I talked nicely, she would understand him.

But now it seems that this is unnecessary.

This woman was always self-centered, she always thought she was wronged and that others owed her something. She didn't take his explanations to heart, she just thought he was wasting his breath.

Huo Yuanchen let go of Wen Li's hand and said calmly, "In that case, I'm leaving."

Wen Li said "hmm" and had no intention of making amends.

Huo Yuanchen left very cleanly this time. The car he was driving was also very good. Once it started, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Wen Li stood downstairs for a long time, not knowing what he was waiting for.

It was not until the wind made her sneeze that she realized she had been standing there for more than half an hour.

She went upstairs.

After the birthday banquet, most of the relatives of the Wen family had left. Wen Yongjie felt that it was not good to disturb his uncle's family too much, so after helping to clean up, he also said goodbye.

Wen Li drove his parents back to Hai City.

She didn't know why, but the image of Huo Yuanchen leaving kept appearing in her mind along the way.

She began to doubt herself, wondering if she had said something too harsh.

After arriving home, she called Huo Yuanchen to ask if he had arrived home.

The phone rang several times before it was answered.

Just as she was about to speak, An Wen's voice rang out, saying, "Brother Yuanchen is taking a shower, it's not convenient to answer the phone right now."
