“By the way, I forgot to tell you. I’m an actress, but a minor actress.”

The man nodded nonchalantly. “I’m on leave today, I’m going on a business trip for a week tonight. Sorry.”

He was indeed a hardworking worker, Huo Ru thought to herself. She was the one who had affected his few breaks today.

“It’s okay, just go do your stuff. I’ll wait for you at home.”

Just as Huo Ru finished speaking, she suddenly realized that the two of them looked like a real couple telling each other what to do next.

The man did not make any unnecessary expressions, but his eyes were smiling as he said, “Okay, wait for me at home.”

Huo Ru’s face flushed red and she stammered, “No… I mean…”

She stammered for a long time without saying anything clearly. Yun Feng did not rush her and quietly waited for her to finish her sentence.

However, Huo Ru stopped talking and smiled at him awkwardly.

“I’m sorry, we just got married and I need to leave. Can we discuss everything when I get back?” Yun Feng gently stroked her head.

His phone kept ringing, enough to show how anxious the caller was.

“You go first. It won’t be good if others get impatient,” Huo Ru said kindly. She didn’t want Yun Feng to be scolded at work because of her.

“Then I’ll get going first.” Yun Feng hailed a taxi and didn’t forget to turn around and say to her, “If you have anything urgent, call me anytime.”

Huo Ru watched as his taxi left, and the sadness in her heart surged.

Today really wasn’t a good day, she had been saying goodbye and losing.

She comforted herself again. It was a good thing to have a husband for free.

The sky was slowly dyed black, and the lights were gradually lighting up. Everyone had a place to go, but Huo Ru kept dragging her feet and refusing to go home.

She finally took a taxi back to the Huo family’s villa but there were no lights on in the house. No one was there, not even the housemaid.

Huo Ru heaved a sigh of relief, this was the best situation. She returned to her room, changed into light clothes, and casually packed a few things before pulling her suitcase downstairs.

Just as she left, she bumped into a family who had returned laughing.

“Why did you come back?” Huo Ci’s smile instantly disappeared as he asked coldly.

“Can’t I even go home now?”

Huo Ci was furious, he rushed up and kicked Huo Ru’s calf. She was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

“How dare you say that? Look at what you’ve done. How dare you come home?!”

Huo Ru didn’t say anything, her calves and palms were in intense pain. She was already used to facing all of this, and she was expressionless as she looked up at him coldly.

“Do you still think you’re in the right?” Seeing her gaze, Huo Ci was angry. He went up and slapped her again. “Your sister is a pure little girl. How can you frame her for having an unclear relationship with her brother-in-law? Huh? Why are you so selfish?!”

“You clearly know that this is true, but you still want to pretend not to know?” Huo Ru questioned. “I don’t believe you can’t find out, you just don’t believe me. You only care about your interests, you don’t care if I’m happy or not!”

“And you, I was stupid this time. I was blind to be plotted against by you, but I will definitely make you pay!” She glared at Huo Yun, who was hiding behind and smiling brightly.

Huo Ci immediately interrupted her. “You still think that your sister did something wrong, don’t you?! You don’t have any remorse at all, I shouldn’t have wanted you back then. You were born an ingrate.”

“Daddy, don’t talk about Sister anymore. It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have let Sister misunderstand like this. Don’t quarrel over me, I’m not worth it. If Sister isn’t angry anymore, quickly hold the wedding with Brother Dong. I’m also doing this for the cooperation between the Huo family and the Zhou family… I’m willing… willing…” Huo Yun’s tears came as soon as she said it. She seemed to be regretting it, but she was actually secretly making fun of her.

“That’s right! You still have the cheek to feel aggrieved. The cooperation between our families was almost ruined by your willfulness. If it weren’t for Xiao Yun being so righteous, do you think you would still have such a good life? Xiao Yun is so sensible as a younger sister, look at what you’ve become.”

Huo Ru sneered and stood up. This attitude made the already furious Huo Ci even angrier.
