Bold and passionate love: Acting coquettishly in Mr. Huo's arms

Staring coldly at Lin Qiujun and Jiang Guiwan, Huo Yan spoke in a calm voice, his tone icy, "Who can compare to you, mother, in terms of pursuing fame, power, and money?"

Lin Qiujun's expression tightened slightly, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips and looked at him, with a bit of disbelief in her heart.

She just said a few words casually on the show. Does that mean Huo Yan is going to expose her secrets in front of the live camera?

Her reputation as a mother is not as important as a strand of Ruan Xingchen's hair?

Jiang Guiwan, however, was completely unaware of this and continued to defend herself to Huo Yan with an innocent look on her face, saying, "Boss Huo, how could you say that about my godmother? She's been abroad all these years pursuing her dream of acting. She really misses you..."

"Take me for a three-year-old? You can fool people who know nothing with these words, but why are you telling me?"

Huo Yan raised his thin lips in mockery and scoffed, "We all know exactly what happened back then. There's no need to sugarcoat it. It wouldn't be easy on Mother if we told her everything, right?"

It sounds like a concession, but in fact it is full of threats.

Jiang Guiwan wanted to say something else, but Lin Qiujun grabbed his hand and squeezed it hard.

I felt so much pain that I didn't have time to open my mouth.

Huo Yanman, with tenderness and affection, put his arms around Ruan Xingchen's slender waist in a completely protective posture.

"Besides, who said that Madam married me for money?"

His dark eyes were filled with tenderness, and his thin lips, which seemed even more distant due to his coldness, were now curved to a point that could almost burn people.

He has always been a man of few words, preferring actions to words and disdaining nonsense.

But this time, facing the live camera, he recalled the first time they met.

With a gentle smile, he grasped Ruan Xingchen's hand and whispered, "When my wife married me, my legs were crippled and the doctor predicted I would never be able to stand up again. My family was eyeing the Huo family covetously, wishing I would die immediately. It was like being ambushed on all sides, surrounded by enemies."

He paused for a moment and smiled at Ruan Xingchen.

His fiery lips kissed her fingertips, and he said in a low, mellow voice, "I had already given up on myself at that time, and was no different from a useless person. Madam came to my side at that time and brought light into my world. For money?"

He sneered, not trying to hide his sarcasm.

Looking at Jiang Guiwan, he said coldly, "Those who have tried so hard but still can't marry into a wealthy family probably can't understand how popular Madam is. There are many men who are better off than I was at that time, and there are countless men pursuing Madam."

Huo Yan held Ruan Xingchen's hand tightly.

He never said he was grateful that she had chosen to marry him.

Even though he knew that his medicine and legs had been tampered with, he did not seek revenge immediately, largely because of her arrival.

Those people had committed a thousand sins, and sending her to him would be enough to eliminate most of his anger.

Before Ruan Xingchen married into the Huo family, he had thought that it was probably because she came from a slum and had little experience, and had no idea how bad his situation was at the time, that was why she was so happy to marry into the Huo family and become a lady.

But the first time he saw her, he knew that she would never be such a shallow fool.

Her eyes are clean and clear, insightful, intelligent and elegant, and she is calm and confident with great confidence.

Then her marrying him might be the fate that had never treated him well, giving him the only gift in his life.

Huo Yan didn't often reminisce about the past, but when he recalled it at this moment, his heart couldn't help but feel hot. Looking at Ruan Xingchen, his eyes were almost filled with affectionate magma.

There was no need to say anything, just the look in his eyes was enough to prove how much he loved her.

Ruan Xingchen felt a warm and sweet feeling in her heart when he looked at her. She leaned against his chest and rubbed it with a smile: "I don't allow Mr. Huo to say that about himself. Even if Mr. Huo really lost his legs and had nothing, he would still be the most handsome and perfect husband in my mind."

Their meeting was a gift from fate.

Just one choice can lead to a completely different life.

Others didn't know how much thrill and luck were involved, but they could see the sweet affection between the two people at the moment.

When other people saw this, they couldn't help but envy and smile, and didn't dare to make a sound to disturb them.

Jiang Guiwan's face turned pale, his eyes were filled with a dark light, and hatred and jealousy were almost turning into reality.

Lin Qiujun didn't dare to say anything more due to Huo Yan's threat, and lowered her eyes with a feeling of resentment.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was not on them at the moment, so no one noticed their gaffe.

Jiang Guiwan felt uncomfortable, and it was impossible for her to praise their love against her will.

She simply changed the subject and chuckled, "Did Ms. Ruan and Mr. Huo have a smooth time selling fruit today? Do you want me to help sell the remaining fruit?"

She deliberately stuck out her tongue playfully at the live camera and said with a smile, "To be honest, Mr. Huo and Ms. Ruan have always been in first place. This is the first time I've even done better than them. It still feels unreal to me. And even though the deadline is up, the production team probably won't mind if we delay for a few more minutes, right?"

"no need."

Now Huo Yan was becoming more and more impatient with her, and the look in his eyes was chilling and cold as he looked at her.

He refused directly and coldly.

He did not hide his attitude at all. Jiang Guiwan was stunned for a moment and the smile on his face was a little loose.

After a moment's silence, he smiled again and said, "It seems I'm meddling too much. That's right, Ms. Ruan and Mr. Huo both have plenty of points and money, and they don't care about being number one for a while. Unlike me, I'm always a bit competitive and want to do my best in everything."

"Then Miss Jiang has indeed relied on her own strength to prove to us that sometimes people's thoughts and reality are always different."

Ruan Xingchen couldn't help but chuckle, and said with an ambiguous smile: "Even though she's been defeated time and time again, Miss Jiang is still a wonderful person."

There seems to be nothing wrong with this statement, as if it is a compliment, but when you listen carefully it always sounds full of sarcasm.

Especially since Jiang Guiwan himself had a prejudice against her, he felt even more uncomfortable after hearing these words.

This was clearly a mockery of her, wanting to be the best in everything but never getting first place.

No, I can’t even get into the top few places, and I’m almost at the bottom every time.

Besides, what does it mean to keep failing? It's as if she's doomed to fail every time she does something.

There are so many similar words that can be used, whether it is "become more courageous after setbacks" or "fight again and again after failure", they both sound much better than this.

Jiang Guiwan reasonably suspected that Ruan Xingchen deliberately used this word to make her uncomfortable.
