Bring your bestie to play melon in the domineering love story

Jiang Ruoli despised herself for a while, and when she looked up again, Huo Xingzhou had disappeared in the yard, leaving only Bai Jing holding the peach cake in her hand, with an unhappy look on her face.

She shrugged, cleaned up the kitchen with Tang Jiujiu, and went back to the room first.

The yard was full of mosquitoes, and after sitting for a long time, her body was covered with big bites. Jiang Ruoli lit some mugwort, poured some water from the thermos, and drank while thinking.

Huo Xingzhou pushed the door open and came in.

Jiang Ruoli's hand holding the cup paused.

The kerosene lamp in the room was a little dim, illuminating the man's profile, which looked cold and sharp. His delicate features were hidden in the shadows, like a demon.

The two looked at each other.

Jiang Ruoli subconsciously looked away.

The man walked up to her, carrying his own unique fragrance with a hint of women's perfume.

It's Bai Jing's.

Jiang Ruoli frowned.

Huo Xing's gaze lingered on the enamel cup in front of her for a moment, and he slowly said, "Did you see everything just now?"

Jiang Ruoli was stunned.

As expected, nothing can escape this man's eyes.

She lowered her head and said 'hmm', then leaned back. The man leaned over and helped her tidy up her fallen hair.

"Unhappy?" Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "We were just chatting casually for a few minutes."

"Mr. Huo, we agreed not to interfere with each other's lives, so you don't need to explain to me." Jiang Ruoli pursed her lips, her tone stiff.

As a married couple, they just get what they want.

It would be neither emotional nor logical for her to interfere with him.

Just give money.

"But why do I smell vinegar?" Huo Xingzhou tried to grab her wrist. "Are you angry?"

Jiang Ruoli shrank back and took two steps back, "Mr. Huo wants me to be jealous?"

"Ok?"

"As long as Mr. Huo is happy, it doesn't matter what happens to Ah Li."

She deliberately acted gracefully.

Huo Xingzhou sneered softly, raised his hand to lift her chin, and pressed his fingertips against her lips. It was hard to tell whether his tone was angry or sarcastic, "I didn't expect Mrs. Huo to be so generous."

Something is wrong!

Jiang Ruoli was startled by his tone, realized something, and quickly looked at the favorability value.

Sure enough, it dropped to 45.

Shouldn't she be so generous?

Jiang Ruoli didn't know what to do for a moment.

It feels a bit dangerous to continue like this.

It is said that beautiful women all have some temper, that is called interest, it seems that she needs to grasp this point well.

Thinking of this, she tightened her grip on the enamel cup and turned her head away deliberately, but her chin was clamped and she could not move. She could only stare at the other person angrily.

Huo Xingzhou looked at her and smiled instead, "Why are you still being so petty? Where did you learn that?"

"I have always had this kind of temper. Have you forgotten, Mr. Huo?"

Huo Xingzhou thought of something and chuckled softly.

With Huo Xingzhou's personality, he naturally cannot tolerate other people's unreasonable behavior and bad temper.

Jiang Ruoli was the first one.

"I haven't forgotten." He responded calmly, releasing her chin. "Mrs. Huo is also a person with a bad temper. It must be very difficult for anyone to be your friend."

The night wind blew in through the window, bringing a cool feeling.

The kerosene lamp in the room flickered.

The light and shadow flicker.

Jiang Ruoli was in the light, and the light cast a halo around her. Huo Xingzhou was in the dark, with half of his body hidden in the shadows, and his expression was gloomy.

The person in the dark suddenly reached out and pulled the person standing in the light into his arms.

Jiang Ruoli stumbled and fell straight into the other person's warm arms, reducing the distance between them to zero.

The enamel cup in his hand also fell to the ground.

"Mr. Huo." Jiang Ruoli bit her lower lip, put her hand on his chest, and deliberately said to him, "I don't know if it's hard to be my friend, but it must be hard to be my husband."

Huo Xingzhou didn't say anything.

There were too many unclear emotions hidden in his eyes.

Jiang Ruoli had no idea what he was thinking. She didn't know if there would be any problem with what she said, and she didn't dare to struggle, for fear that her favorability would continue to drop.

"Mrs. Huo has a bad temper. Now she can make people angry to death with just one word."

Jiang Ruoli opened her mouth and almost blurted out something.

how about you?

Your temper is unpredictable and your favorability score won't increase no matter what. Even the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an have more feelings than you.

He also exchanged glances with Bai Jing.

Is the other person charming and attractive, making you feel comfortable both physically and mentally?

But when she saw Huo Xingzhou's eyes, she swallowed the words silently.

Forget it.

If she makes him angry and his favorability drops to single digits, she will be the one who suffers.

Jiang Ruoli didn't think about it any more, and quickly looked away, saying in a muffled voice, "If Mr. Huo likes to hear nice things, A-li can tell you ten thousand sentences."

Huo Xingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, taking in the little expression on her face.

He said, "Then I guess it won't be free?"

Jiang Ruoli curled her fingers slightly, gritted her teeth, and when she looked up again, her eyebrows curved into a smile, like a cunning little fox, "Mr. Huo is so rich, he shouldn't mind my high asking price."

"Oh?"

"One million per sentence, how about that?"

Huo Xingzhou nodded thoughtfully, "So it seems that they're not asking for too much, but trying to drain the money out of my pocket."

"Have Secretary Qin transfer another 20 million to your account tomorrow."

Consume in advance?

Jiang Ruoli understood.

Huo Xingzhou always keeps his word. Since he asked to give her another 20 million, he would naturally not go back on his word.

Want to hear good things?

That's not simple yet.

"What do you want to hear, Mr. Huo?" After receiving the money, Jiang Ruoli smiled a little more and asked him, "Do you want to hear love words or..."

Before he could finish his words, his lips were pressed down by fingers.

Huo Xingzhou came over, put his arm around her waist, and brought her close to him. "I only want to hear the truth."

Jiang Ruoli lowered her eyes, "Is it true that Ah Li wants to stay with Mr. Huo forever?"

Huo Xingzhou did not respond.

The smile that had just amused her gradually faded.

Jiang Ruoli was puzzled.

what's the situation?

Is this sentence wrong again?

Although their relationship became nominally husband and wife because of the contract, Huo Xingzhou had spent money after all, so it should be okay for her to stay with him, right?

Is he afraid that she will pester him in the future?

It turns out that men are not reliable.

Jiang Ruoli thought for a moment and continued, "If Mr. Huo is unwilling, Ah Li will naturally know what to do."

Take a look!

What a sensible canary!

Let’s just tell you whether it’s worth 1 billion!

Huo Xingzhou looked at her quietly for a while, then hummed softly, put down his hand, and took two steps back.

Jiang Ruoli finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But before she could react, Huo Xingzhou suddenly pressed the back of her head and kissed her fair neck.

"Mr. Huo... um..."

When he let go, there was a deep mark on his neck.

Jiang Ruoli was so angry that she wanted to hit someone.

Are you born in the Year of the Dog?

This man!

I have to leave my mark here!

If Old Lady Zhang sees me tomorrow, she’ll probably nag me again.

"Are you cursing me in your heart again?" Huo Xingzhou smiled, his fingertips moving to her red earlobe, his eyes dark and unclear. "Tell me, was what you just said true?"
