Huo Yuanchen called almost at the moment Wen Li entered the house.

She looked at the familiar name on the screen, and suddenly she felt a surge of disgust.

She used to think that Huo Yuanchen would remember her journey home and would call her at the time she arrived home. This move was quite heartwarming, indicating that he was thinking about her during the time she was home.

But now, she felt extremely frightened.

Huo Yuanchen was too smart. It was as if her whereabouts were exposed in front of him, and he knew her every move.

This feeling was too bad. She was worried that he could see that she ran back to get back together with him just to piss off An Wen?

Wen Li broke out in a cold sweat.

The cell phone was still ringing, and she thought it was too noisy, so she pressed the hang-up button hard.

The world suddenly became quiet.

But after a brief silence, she couldn't help but think of Anwen's mother's words.

Huo Yuanchen thanked the An family in his graduation thesis. He was the prospective son-in-law chosen by An Wen's mother.

Wen Li felt her stomach churning. She was in so much pain.

Regardless of whether Huo Yuanchen was thanking An Wen or An Ran , the fact that he wrote the names of the An sisters in his thank-you speech showed that at that moment, he was determined to be with the An sisters.

She was a stubborn person, and the more she felt uncomfortable, the more she couldn't help wanting to read it. She didn't have an account on the academic website, so she asked Zhou Ying to download it for her and send her the electronic version.

His name was printed on the penultimate page together with An Ran's name. He said that An Ran was his benefactor, the person who gave him a new life, the person who accompanied him through the most difficult times, and the person who gave him countless inspirations.

He used his research results to thank her for her support and help.

At the very end, he signed his name at the end of the thank-you speech. Whether it was a coincidence or a carefully designed layout, it happened to be right below An Ran's name.

One up and one down, they look at each other from afar and help each other.

Wen Li bit her lip tightly, trying to suppress the discomfort in her heart. She closed the paper browsing page and stared at the empty computer screen.

He thought, since An Ran was so important to him, why didn't he just be with An Ran instead of asking her to get back together?

Didn't An Ran's mother say that An Ran regretted her decision and wanted to return to China to be with him? Why didn't he accept it? Did he not believe An Ran's decision?

She seemed to have thought a lot, but when she recalled it carefully, it seemed like she had not thought of anything. Her head was empty and she sat in front of the computer in a daze.

When Huo Yuanchen called again, she did not refuse. She pressed the answer button and said nothing, waiting for him to speak.

There was silence on the other end as well, as if waiting for her to speak first.

The two of them just stayed in a stalemate, unable to hear anything except each other's breathing.

After a long while, Huo Yuanchen sighed and asked her, "Are we there yet?"

Wen Li said "hmm".

He waited for a while, making sure she had nothing else to say, before continuing in a calm voice, "I didn't mean to argue with you, but I spoke a little harshly out of consideration for An Wen's health. I also regretted it after you left."

Wen Li laughed twice without any meaning, and said in a cold voice, "You will regret it? It's really hard."

The person on the other end laughed lightly, and it could be heard that he was deliberately pretending to be relaxed while talking to her, "I'm afraid that I've annoyed you, and you'll break up with me again in a rage."

Wen Li smiled and said, "This is just perfect. You can be with An Ran now. After all, you are the son-in-law that her mother has chosen for the An family."

Huo Yuanchen paused, and when he spoke again, his voice was forbearing and restrained, and he asked her, "Are you sure you want to make trouble? It's fine if you target An Wen, but An Ran hasn't even met you, and you want to target her too?"

Wen Li said calmly, "How dare I target her. An Ran is the noble person in your life, the woman who accompanied you through the lows, and the muse who gave you inspiration. I am just an ordinary person, how can I be compared with her."

She spoke out the thoughts that she had suppressed deep in her heart with great difficulty. Before she finished speaking, she burst into tears. When she said the last sentence, her voice trembled uncontrollably.

It’s a pity that her sobbing didn’t cause any sympathy from the other party.

Huo Yuanchen asked her in a low voice, "Have you read my paper?"

Wen Li gritted his teeth and said, "Yes. Your paper can be downloaded online, isn't it for people to read? Huo Yuanchen, do you think it's romantic to write about An Ran in your paper? Do you think that every time your paper is read and cited by someone, you and An Ran will receive a blessing? Well, I have also read it today, and I also wish you all the best. What do you want me to wish you, a house full of children and grandchildren or a long life together? Just tell me, I will definitely bless you with all my heart. "

There was silence for a while, and Huo Yuanchen slowed down his voice and said, "That's not what I meant. Your idea is too extreme."

Wen Li sneered, "Then what should I think? Do you think you are in a pure boyfriend-girlfriend relationship? Do you think you included her in your paper because she gave you a lot of academic guidance, just like your mentor?"

Huo Yuanchen said, "I do think An Ran is very important to me, but that doesn't mean I don't want to be with you. You and An Ran are not in a relationship where either she or you are excluded. Why do you have to put yourself against her?"

After a pause, he sighed and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Where are you now? My home or your home?"

Wen Li asked him back, "You have calculated the time it takes me to get home, so how could you not know where I will return to?"

Huo Yuanchen was silent for a moment, then said, "Then you should go out later tomorrow. I'll come find you."

Wen Li smiled and asked him, "What do you want me to do? Make love? Sorry, I don't want to do it with you at all now. Not only now, but also in the future. Huo Yuanchen, you make me feel sick."

When she was excited, she always spoke very fast. Huo Yuanchen was also very angry at her words at this moment, but he was more rational than her and knew that when she was angry, if he said anything, it would only add fuel to the fire.

He said to her, "Calm down for a night. I'll come see you tomorrow."

Without waiting for her response, he hung up the phone.

Wen Li couldn't help laughing when he heard the notification tone coming from the phone.

She laughed and cried at the same time. She laughed endlessly and cried endlessly.

As a result, when she went to work in the studio the next day, her eyes were so red and swollen that she had to wear sunglasses.

Just then, Lu Ke came over to introduce the newly hired photographer to her. After a brief introduction, he asked Li Hong to take him to familiarize himself with the environment.

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow at Wen Li and said with a smile, "Little Wen Li, did you stay up late last night? You looked like you had panda eyes, and you don't dare let me see it?"

Wen Li subconsciously touched his cheek, and when he saw the smile on Lu Ke's face, he realized that he was joking with him. He smiled at Lu Ke with an awkward expression.

Lu Ke understood, "Did you have a fight with him?"
