Chapter 268. If you don’t want to be threatened, don’t have any weaknesses

Michelle Yim stood there, looking at Huo Mingqi without any reaction.

Perhaps because her expression was too dull, someone among the people taking pictures next to her whispered, "Mrs. Huo, Mr. Huo is expressing his love to you. This is such a romantic moment. You should act very touched at this moment."

Maggie Cheung heard it. She glanced at the man but still had no reaction.

Huo Mingqi spoke at this time, and said in a casual tone, "Please don't embarrass my wife. Since we got married, she has been willing to be my good wife behind the scenes and doesn't often appear in front of the camera. She is a little nervous now, please don't laugh at her."

After a pause, he turned to Michelle Yim and said with a smile, "Come to think of it, it's my fault. I just wanted to give you a surprise and didn't inform you in advance. I didn't expect that this surprise would turn into a shock."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd immediately laughed in agreement, praising him, "Boss Huo is smart and courageous to the outside world, and gentle and considerate to the inside. He is truly a great man."

Huo Mingqi took two steps forward, walked around the dining table, and came to Qi Meizhen. He put the jewelry box on the table, picked up the diamond necklace with both hands, and said affectionately, "Meizhen, I'll put it on you."

Michelle Yim subconsciously moved to the side to avoid his touch.

Huo Mingqi's expression remained unchanged. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, "Meizhen, think about the shares you hold. If Huo's share price falls, you won't benefit either."

Michelle Yim pursed her lips, wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

Huo Mingqi added, "I heard that my brother-in-law has been having trouble with capital recently. When you were at your mother's house, you had a very close relationship with him. We are all family, so I will definitely help him."

Michelle Yim stared at him blankly for a while, then finally lowered her head and let him put the necklace on her.

As soon as she finished putting it on, she was about to leave. Huo Mingqi reached out and pulled her, holding her shoulders and making her face the camera.

"Meizhen, let's take a photo together."

After the reporter took a few photos, he waved Huo Yuanchen over and said, "Come and take a family photo."

Huo Yuanchen walked over and stood behind the couple. He inherited Huo Mingqi's tall stature, and the father and son were about the same height when they stood together.

Therefore, Huo Mingqi could hear his lowered voice clearly.

He said, "As far as I can remember, this is the first time you took the initiative to take a photo with my mom. In the past, it was mostly Aunt Li who stood next to you."

Huo Mingqi turned around, glanced at his son coldly, and said calmly, "I heard that Wen Li's studio is doing pretty good business, but it's a little far away. But they're all in Hai City, so it can't be that far away."

Huo Yuanchen asked him, "What do you want to do?"

Huo Mingqi said, "I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask you if Wen Li's studio is in this place."

He gave an address.

Huo Yuanchen's face looked a little bad.

The reporter taking the photo said, "Professor Huo, please stand closer to Mr. Huo. We want to capture the loving relationship between husband and wife, and the harmony between father and son."

Huo Yuanchen cooperated by putting his hand on Huo Mingqi's shoulder and gave a perfect smile to the camera.

After taking the photos, the reporters left quickly.

Huo Yuanchen also stood up and was about to leave. Before leaving, he said to Huo Mingqi, "As your son, I will respect you, but I don't like being threatened by you."

Huo Mingqi also stood up, patted his shoulder kindly, and said, "If you don't want to be threatened by others, then don't have any weaknesses. Dad saw that you cared too much about Wen Li, and was afraid that you couldn't tell the situation clearly, so I reminded you. We are father and son, how can I harm you?"

Huo Yuanchen said nothing. When he left, he glanced at Michelle Yim.

The latter stood up, hugged him and said, "Don't worry, mom. I have let it go. He can't affect me."

Huo Yuanchen left.

He was originally going back to his apartment, but halfway through the road, he suddenly turned the steering wheel, changed direction temporarily, and went to Wen Li's apartment.

When he knocked on the door, Wen Li was about to go to bed. He had just taken medicine for his cold and was lying on the bed, browsing his phone, trying to fall asleep.

I was startled when I heard a knock on the door.

She opened the door and let Huo Yuanchen in. She looked at him several times, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Huo Yuanchen raised his eyebrows and asked her, "What do you want to say?"

Wen Li opened his mouth, his voice still very hoarse, "You don't look happy?"

Huo Yuanchen pulled the corner of his lip and said to her, "You are quite good at observing people's expressions."

Wen Li touched his nose and said, "Professor Huo and I are different. You are doing academic research in an ivory tower, and all you need is good knowledge. I have to open a business, and observing people's words and expressions is a basic skill."

As she spoke, she walked into the house.

Huo Yuanchen was not a guest, so she didn't need to entertain him, he could entertain himself.

She planned to lie back on the bed and sleep.

At this moment, Huo Yuanchen hugged her from behind around the waist.

Wen Li paused, feeling that he was different today than usual.

She wanted to ignore it, but he held her too tightly, his palm pressed against her lower abdomen through the thin fabric of her nightgown. It was clearly an ambiguous gesture, but she could sense his confusion at the moment.

Somewhere in my heart suddenly loosened.

She raised her hand, placed it on the back of his hand, lowered her voice and asked him, "What's wrong with you? Did Uncle Huo say something to you?"

After a long while, Huo Yuanchen finally moved in the crook of her shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "Nothing. I just suddenly wanted to hug you."

Wen Li felt that this was not Huo Yuanchen's style at all. Something must have happened to him at the Huo family villa.

But he didn't want to say it, so she didn't ask.

She turned around, opened her arms, and hugged him back tightly.

The two hugged each other for a long time before letting go.

Wen Li couldn't help but think that her relationship with Huo Yuanchen was quite strange. They had slept with each other and quarreled to the point where they didn't want to argue anymore. Now they were like a couple in love, hugging each other at every turn.

Instead, it makes people feel awkward.

She asked Huo Yuanchen, "Do you want to go to bed now, or watch TV first?"

Huo Yuanchen looked up at the lighted bedroom and asked her, "Are you asleep already?"

Wen Li nodded, "I just took some cold medicine, it has a sleeping pill in it."

He picked her up like a child and walked towards the bedroom, "I'll sleep with you."

However, although he said he would sleep with Wen Li and really lay down, his eyes were wide open without blinking. No one knew what he was thinking about and there was no sign of sleepiness at all.

Wen Li fell asleep soon after the drug took effect.

When she woke up, she saw in the dim light of the night light that Huo Yuanchen was still awake.

She couldn't help but put her arms around him and asked him, "Are you in a bad mood?"

She thought Huo Yuanchen would not answer, but unexpectedly he said, "Yeah."

Wen Li thought about it and asked him, "Is there any way to make you feel better?"

Huo Yuanchen looked down at her in his arms, his eyes darkened for a moment, and then he said quickly, "Don't worry about me, go to sleep."

Wen Li was silent for a while, lifted the quilt, sat on him, leaned over, and kissed his lips.

Said, "Huo Yuanchen, let's do it."
