On Monday, Huo Cen woke up early and went to the office. Song Yunshu happened to come downstairs just before he left.

At that time, she appeared at the staircase with her hair in a mess and sleepy eyes.

Aunt Li saw her and muttered ‘just in time’. She then walked up to Song Yunshu with a smile and placed the suit jacket that she had prepared in advance into her hands.

“Madam, Sir is already at the door and is about to leave. Please help me deliver this suit. I still have something to do, so I won’t bother you.”

After saying that, Aunt Li winked at her ambiguously.

Instantly, the meaning behind this was self-evident.

Song Yunshu had no choice but to take the jacket in her hands.

She raised her head and looked into the distance.

Huo Cen’s dark and deep gaze fell on her as if he was already prepared for her to take the initiative to step forward.

Song Yunshu pursed her lips slightly, though she was still a little reluctant.

However, she did not show it on her face. She calmly took the suit and walked up to him.

Shaking it off, she held onto his collar and helped him put on his coat from behind.

She had displayed her duty as a wife to the fullest.

It didn’t matter even if their marriage was only maintained by a contract.

At the very least, she would do her best to play the role of Mrs. Huo during the contract period.

“I might have to go on a business trip in the next two days.”

“Hmm?” Huo Cen, who suddenly heard the news, was surprised.

He knew about Song Yunshu’s work at Xu’an Group, so he wouldn’t interfere in her personal affairs.

However, such a sudden business trip inevitably made him think about it.

His gaze fell on her clean and fair face with a hint of scrutiny.

“Where to?” he asked.

Song Yunshu only met his gaze for two seconds before she panicked and looked away.

She was deeply afraid that she would reveal her true intentions if she looked at him any longer.

“It’ll take about a week to go to Hai City, so I’m telling you in advance.”

Her voice was soft, and she sounded as if she had no ulterior motives.

However, Huo Cen did not respond immediately. Instead, he used a scrutinizing gaze to sweep over her, assessing her.

Song Yunshu realized that he had not responded for a long time, and finally couldn’t help but look up at him.

The man suddenly grabbed her hand that was sorting his tie and held it tightly.

Song Yunshu was shocked and blurted out, “What’s wrong?”

“Are you not deceiving me? Then take the opportunity to run away?”

Song Yunshu had to admit that she panicked when she heard Huo Cen’s simple words.

She had a deep sense of nervousness and embarrassment after being exposed before she could even start. It instantly spread from the bottom of her heart.

Fortunately, her expression was maintained very well, and no one found any flaws.

“What are you talking about? It’s just a business trip. Why would I lie to you? It’s because it was decided last minute over the weekend, and I only had the time to tell you today.”

As Song Yunshu spoke, she didn’t forget to raise her head and smile at him.

Huo Cen carefully observed her expression, trying to find any trace of deception.

But unfortunately.

Song Yunshu’s performance was perfect.

For a moment, he couldn’t tell if she really went on a business trip as she said, or if she had other intentions.

“Okay, then let Xiao Liu send you to the company later. Give me a call when you get there.”

“Alright.”

Song Yunshu’s smile was impeccable.

It was only after she watched Huo Cen’s figure disappear from her sight that she heaved a sigh of relief.

However, before she could catch her breath, she turned around and went upstairs.

She found her phone and opened the only chat box on WeChat that she had pinned to the top.

Song Yunshu, “Emergency! Very, very, very urgent!”
