Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo
Chapter 31 Pick her up at the bar
After the banquet, Huo Chenyuan and the dean stood alone in the corridor outside the private room. The dean asked, "Do you want to invite Lin Feifei to see a movie tonight? She's the daughter of Director Lin."
Huo Chenyuan's voice was low and firm. "Thank you very much for the Dean's kindness, but I must clarify one thing. I actually already have a wife."
The dean was stunned at first. It was obvious that this news was completely beyond his expectations. "Why haven't I heard that you got married?"
Huo Chenyuan was very calm: "We just got the marriage certificate first. Our wedding will be held next month. I invite you to attend then."
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then turned into understanding and respect.
"Oh, so that's how it is..." He muttered to himself, an awkward smile gradually appearing on his face. "Huo Chenyuan, congratulations! I was inconsiderate and didn't expect..."
Huo Chenyuan added, "Thank you for your understanding, Dean. I've never mentioned this publicly, so speaking out tonight is an opportunity. I hope my personal matter won't cause any inconvenience to your work."
The dean was also a shrewd person. He smiled and patted Huo Chenyuan on the shoulder. "No, no, this is a happy event! You didn't mention it at the banquet just now because you were giving me face."
After the banquet, Huo Chenyuan entered the hotel garage and planned to drive back.
After entering the parking lot, Huo Chenyuan got into the driver's seat. Before he started the engine, the phone in his pocket vibrated. The screen showed that it was a WeChat voice call from Lin Feifei. He pressed the answer button and said in a steady and clear voice, "Hello."
Lin Feifei's gentle and expectant voice came from the other end of the phone, "Huo Chenyuan, I know you may be very busy, I want to ask if you are free to go to the concert this weekend..."
Huo Chenyuan interrupted her, his tone firm but gentle, "Thank you for your continued attention and support. I am very grateful. But I think I should be frank with you. I am married."
After a moment's silence, Lin Feifei tried hard to control her emotions, her voice trembling slightly, "I... I don't know what to say. I just feel that I like you so much, and I really want to be closer to you..."
Huo Chenyuan sounded a little impatient: "Sorry, I'm driving." So he hung up the phone and prepared to concentrate on driving.
When he got home, it was already past midnight. Huo Chenyuan took off his suit and planned to take a shower, but he unexpectedly discovered that Lin Yunzheng had not returned home yet.
The hustle and bustle of the city was gradually covered by the night, leaving only the neon lights on the street corners illuminating the empty streets.
Huo Chenyuan sat on the sofa and called Lin Yunzheng. He called three times before finally getting through.
"Where are you? Why haven't you come back yet?"
"I'm at the bar." There was a noisy background sound from Lin Yunzheng's end.
"Didn't I tell you to go home early tonight?" Huo Chenyuan was a little displeased.
"But you said you wanted to attend the seminar." Lin Yunzheng's voice was not clear.
Huo Chenyuan was still a little worried at this moment. After all, it was already late at night.
"Which bar? Send me the address and I'll drive over to pick you up now." Huo Chenyuan frowned.
After receiving the address, Huo Chenyuan put on his suit jacket again and went out.
Arriving at the address on the message, Huo Chenyuan found that the bar was bustling with people, and music leaked from the half-open door, forming a sharp contrast with the outside world.
He got out of the car and entered the bar, scanning the crowd for a familiar figure. Soon, he saw Lin Yunzheng, surrounded by a few friends, waving in his direction. Her eyes flashed with surprise, but also with a hint of guilt.
"You're here." Lin Yunzheng's cheeks were flushed, and she was obviously a little drunk. She waved to Huo Chenyuan.
Huo Chenyuan had a blank expression on his face. He reached out to take her coat, helped her to her feet, and put it on her. "It's cold outside, don't catch a cold. Let's go, I'll take you home."
After getting in the car, Huo Chenyuan drove the car attentively. However, at this moment, he felt a subtle emotional fluctuation in his heart, because the person sitting next to him was the slightly drunk Lin Yunzheng.
While waiting for the red light, Huo Chenyuan glanced at Lin Yunzheng in the passenger seat. Her face looked particularly soft under the dim streetlight, and her eyes were a little hazy. "Why are you going to the bar tonight?" he asked, his voice tinged with concern.
Lin Yunzheng seemed to still be savoring the happy time of the night, "Oh, today is my colleague Chen Yu's birthday, we are celebrating for her there." Her eyes flickered with a little confusion, and a smile inadvertently appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The green light came on, Huo Chenyuan stepped on the accelerator and continued forward.
The car fell into a brief silence again, with only the roar of the engine and the scenery flowing outside the window as companions.
Lin Yunzheng closed her eyes, and Huo Chenyuan saw her leaning back in her seat and taking a nap, as if she was enjoying this moment of tranquility.
Huo Chenyuan carefully parked the car and looked back to see Lin Yunzheng leaning against the window in the passenger seat. She had already fallen asleep, breathing evenly and looking serene. She looked like a woman walking out of a painting, beautiful and peaceful.
The moonlight was like a stream of light, spreading across the entire community, covering the sleeping city with a layer of silver gauze.
Huo Chenyuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He gently unbuckled her seatbelt, fearing to disturb her sweet dream. He bent down, lifted Lin Yunzheng into his arms, and carried her into the elevator to go home.
After entering the room, he slowly placed Lin Yunzheng on the soft big bed and covered her with a quilt.
Lin Feifei's call rang again at an inopportune moment. Huo Chenyuan frowned slightly, glanced at the caller ID, and without hesitation, pressed the reject button, his movements clean and neat.
If it wasn't because the dean introduced her, he would have wanted to delete Lin Feifei from the contact list.
Huo Chenyuan turned his phone to silent mode.
Huo Chenyuan sat on the edge of the bed, his back against the wooden headboard, his gaze fixed on Lin Yunzheng. The surroundings were silent, with only the subtle sounds of breathing and the faint ticking of a clock in the distance creating a tranquil scene.
Huo Chenyuan's eyes usually concealed a calm and sharpness, like an icy lake in winter, unapproachable. But in that instant, everything changed. At this moment, Huo Chenyuan's eyes revealed a rare tenderness and doting.
Many years ago, Huo Chenyuan had also looked at Ning Tingnan quietly like this. Huo Chenyuan had originally wanted to ask the question in the morning, but he didn't ask it. He suddenly felt that he seemed to be afraid of losing Lin Yunzheng, afraid of losing the warmth in front of him.
