Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Huo Xuan rushed to the Civil Affairs Bureau, looked around but didn't see Pei Miao. He checked the time and saw that five minutes had passed.

"Are you angry?" He murmured softly, took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed, but heard a cold female voice: "Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off, please call again later."

His breath was caught, and the fingertips holding the phone gradually began to turn white.

He wanted to run back to the opera house, but he was afraid that Pei Miao was on her way.

Huo Xuan clenched his fingertips, and a strong sense of uneasiness and chill ran up his spine.

He stood upright at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau with his back straight, holding his household registration book and ID card in one hand.

Keep calling.

But the response I got was always that cold prompt tone.

Huo Xuan lowered his head, quickly edited the message with his fingers, and sent it.

Huo Xuan: Honey, are you angry? I was stuck in traffic just now and was only five minutes late.

Huo Xuan: Where are you? Do you want me to pick you up?

Huo Xuan: If you don’t want to get the marriage certificate today, you can do it tomorrow.

Huo Xuan: Are you still sleeping? Wife

……

Huo Xuan looked at the screen full of messages, his throat dry and his eyes filled with restlessness.

It is early winter now. The weather in City A is damp and cold. The cold wind blows into the clothes, making people shiver.

In order to look good when getting his marriage certificate today, Huo chose to wear only a white shirt inside and a thin black suit jacket outside.

His ears were frozen red, and the chill spreading in his heart made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.

Half past five.

The staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau were leaving get off work. A lady took a closer look and kindly asked, "Sir, are you looking for a marriage certificate?"

"It's time to get off work now."

Huo Xuan's lips were pale, and the bottom of his dark pupils was filled with thick ink that could not be dissolved. He lowered his long black eyelashes and said, "Can you wait a moment? My wife is on the way."

"Ah?" As a corporate slave, the kind-hearted lady's face instantly turned dark. Why did she still try to climb up the pole after receiving a kind reminder?

"I can pay you overtime, 10,000 per hour." Huo Xuan opened his phone and said, "I'll scan it for you."

"Of course!" The kind lady's face changed instantly.

Huo Xuan swiped over 50,000 yuan.

Standing at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, like a sculpture, he lowered his eyes and called the nanny at the opera house.

The other party told him that Pei Miao was not in the opera house.

Maybe on the way.

Huo Xuan guessed.

His expectant gaze fell on the intersection again, imagining that he would see that pretty figure in the next second.

However, until dark and the temperature dropped to 2 degrees, Pei Miao did not appear in front of him.

"Sir, I'm going home first." The kind lady cast a sympathetic look at Huo Xuan.

Could such a handsome man also be stood up?

Huo Xuan's left cheek twitched violently. Under the dim street light, he lowered his head, making it impossible to see the emotions on his face.

Waited for another half hour.

It's already half past ten.

Huo Xuan's stiff fingertips moved, and his gloomy and terrifying face finally revealed half of its part. His hands were red and trembling due to the cold.

His straight back also drooped. He sat in the car and turned on the heater for half an hour before he gradually recovered.

Huo Xuan stared at the three words "Civil Affairs Bureau" in silence again and again, and finally, he drove away dejectedly.

Pei Miao slowly came out from the corner only after the vehicle had disappeared.

The pretty little face looked at him expressionlessly, then turned and entered a hotel.

"Huo Xuan should be very angry now." Pei Miao muttered to herself while lying on the bed.

[No.] The system was speechless.

[This Huo Xuan is quite a love-brained person. His heartbeat value hasn't dropped at all, and his dark side hasn't appeared yet.]

"Darkness value?" Pei Miao frowned.

[When Huo Xuan's blackening value reaches 100%, you will have a healthy body and return to your original identity.]

Pei Miao turned her head to look out the window. A light drizzle had already begun to fall outside, hitting the shiny green leaves.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly: "What does it take to reach 100%?"

[It depends on how badass you are.] The system offers advice.

The flickering light shone into Pei Miao's phoenix eyes. Her heart felt heavy and she closed her eyes.

【Are you in love with Huo Xuan? 】

The room was very quiet.

Pei Miao didn't answer, closed her eyes, and seemed to be asleep.

The system seemed to be thinking.

No further questions were asked.

………………

Pei Miao hasn't been home for three days.

Huo Xuan's temper became increasingly gloomy and irritable. He always locked himself in the room and even worked at home.

Assistant Fang looked at Huo Xuan, whose face was flushed in the video, and asked with concern: "Little Master Huo, do you have a fever?"

Huo Xuan's sinister gaze came from the video. Assistant Fang shuddered and fell silent instantly, not daring to say another word.

I really want to burn ten incense sticks and pray that Miss Pei Miao will come back soon.

Three days ago, Huo Xuan discovered that Pei Miao was missing.

No matter how hard we searched, there was no clue at all.

Huo Xuan knew that she was deliberately hiding and refused to see him.

why?

Is it because he is too rough and not gentle enough in that aspect?

So you don't want to marry him?

A hint of viciousness flashed across Huo Xuan's bottomless black eyes.

The shareholders online were silent and dared not say a word, for fear that they would be called out.

Finally, the video conference ended.

Huo Xuan sat there with his eyes downcast, not moving. His body was getting hotter and hotter, but he ignored it as if he was torturing himself.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Huo Xuan slowly stood up and walked out of the study.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a door opening.

Huo Xuan looked over nonchalantly, his black pupils trembling. Without thinking, he rushed over and hugged her tightly.

"You are finally back."

Pei Miao was forced to endure his strong and domineering embrace, feeling a little breathless.

Pei Miao was stunned by the heat on her skin even through her clothes: "You, have a fever."

The next second, an unconditional and passionate kiss came.

Huo Xuan pressed down on the back of her head and domineeringly took away all her breath.

His hands didn't stop, tearing her clothes violently as if he was venting his anger.

Pei Miao did not resist and let him do whatever he wanted.

Huo Xuan pinched the back of her delicate neck and pushed her down. Pei Miao bit her lower lip tightly and held the door with her hand.

next second.

Pei Miao's eyes were red with pain.

Huo Xuan was behind her and bit her delicate earlobe.

"Wife, why are you playing hide-and-seek with me?"

Pei Miao didn't say anything, her knuckles turning white.

When she didn't reply, Huo Xuan pushed harder.

The collision made her cry.

Half an hour later, Pei Miao's lips were bitten raw. Huo Xuan picked her up and pressed her on the long table in the living room, forcing her to look directly at him.

Huo Xuan held her hand, his narrow black eyes filled with bloodshot, and even his breath was scorching hot due to the high fever.

The temperature of his body was frighteningly high.

His voice was hoarse and he asked in a low voice: "Wife, do you like it from the front or from the back?"

"Am I dissatisfying you?"

"Do you want me to be rough or gentle?"

"Why don't you speak?"
