Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

"I thought you knew." Ning Tingbei said, "Huo Chenyuan bought a villa for another woman without telling you. What do you think this means?"

Lin Yunzheng could see that Ning Tingbei had obviously come here today to sow discord. She realized that this was not just a statement about Huo Chenyuan buying a house for his ex-girlfriend, but more like a carefully designed psychological offensive.

Seeing Lin Yunzheng silent, Ning Tingbei continued, "My sister is in the WeChat group. How about you add my sister on WeChat and ask her directly?"

"There's no need for that." Lin Yunzheng shook her head and responded calmly.

At this time, Huo Chenyuan rested in the hospital locker room and called Lin Yunzheng back. Ning Tingbei was sitting opposite him.

"Hello." After performing surgery for a whole morning, Huo Chenyuan's voice was obviously tired.

"Are you busy this morning?"

"Yes, just came out of the operating room."

"Thank you for your hard work. You... should take a break at noon." Lin Yunzheng said gently, but there was a hint of hesitation in her tone.

"Are you eating?" Huo Chenyuan felt something was wrong and asked.

"Yes...my sister-in-law came to see me. She's in the coffee shop downstairs from our company."

"Ning Tingbei? Is it her?" Huo Chenyuan's voice was filled with a hint of alertness.

"Yes."

"Give her the phone number and I'll talk to her." Huo Chenyuan suddenly became serious.

Lin Yunzheng handed the phone to Ning Tingbei. Before handing it over, Lin Yunzheng turned on the speakerphone.

Ning Tingbei looked at the phone on the table.

"Sister-in-law, you invited my wife to dinner, why didn't you invite me? Do you treat me as an outsider?" Huo Chenyuan's tone sounded a bit like a joke, but also a bit like a question.

"Chen Yuan, you're really wronging me by saying that." Ning Tingbei chuckled softly, seemingly trying to lighten the mood. "You know, I'm afraid of disturbing your work. After all, you've been so busy lately, constantly busy with surgeries and seminars. How can you have any free time?"

"Sister-in-law, if you want to meet with us, we can definitely make time. Just tell me in advance." Huo Chenyuan deliberately used the word "we" and emphasized it when he said it.

"Chen Yuan, don't worry. I just made a dinner appointment on the way and came to see my sister-in-law. After all, we are all family. I didn't expect you to feel this way." Ning Tingbei changed the subject.

"Sister-in-law, I haven't seen my brother for a long time. Why don't we make an appointment this weekend to have dinner together? By the way, let's finalize the guest list for our wedding." What Huo Chenyuan said seemed like a question, but his tone sounded unquestionable.

Ning Tingbei frowned after hearing this. Although the smile on her lips did not fade, it seemed a little forced.

"Your eldest brother is on a business trip these days. I'll call him later and talk to him when he gets back. How about that?"

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll contact my brother myself. You are very busy at work, so there are some things that you don't need to worry about." Huo Chenyuan's tone was polite but with a sense of authority.

"Okay, I know what you mean. I've finished eating and will leave now." Ning Tingbei understood the implication of Huo Chenyuan's words.

"Okay, sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work. If you have any problems in the future, remember to come to me directly. Even if my phone cannot answer calls at all times, you can always leave a message." After Huo Chenyuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Ning Tingbei's response.

Huo Chenyuan understood Ning Tingbei's temper and personality, and called his brother Huo Chenjun directly.

"Why didn't you ask Huo Chenyuan about buying a house for my sister?" Ning Tingbei stood up and asked before leaving.

Lin Yunzheng thought to herself, (inner thoughts): "I chose not to ask, not because I'm afraid of the answer. In fact, whether I ask now or not, the answer is already the fact and won't change. But asking at this time would obviously be disadvantageous to me. If I want to ask clearly, I have to choose the right time. Marriage is like sand between your fingers. The tighter you hold on, the easier it is to lose it."

Lin Yunzheng looked at Ning Tingbei, then looked out the window. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, creating mottled light and shadows.

At this moment, her state of mind was like this interwoven picture of light and darkness, with both brightness and shadow. She said softly but firmly to Ning Tingbei, "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. Let's make an appointment when our Chen Yuan is free. If you have any questions then, you can ask them in front of him."

"Lin Yunzheng, I hope you..." Ning Tingbei wanted to say something else when her cell phone rang.

She was slightly stunned and frowned inadvertently.

Ning Tingbei pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear. His expression instantly softened. "Hello, honey, what's up?"

As the other party's words came, Ning Tingbei's expression gradually became solemn, and he nodded occasionally.

Then, she whispered a few words into the phone, with a tone of obvious compromise, "Okay, I'll go back right away. You know, I always want to do something for everyone..."

After hanging up the phone, Ning Tingbei took a deep breath and said softly, "Looks like I have to go. My husband just said he had something urgent for me to deal with."

"Okay, take care, sister-in-law."

Ning Tingbei gave Lin Yunzheng a meaningful smile and said, "I'm sorry to have disturbed you today. I hope this little friction between us won't affect our relationship."

Ning Tingbei walked out of the coffee shop. She walked towards the black Porsche parked nearby with unwilling steps, and then sped away.

Lin Yunzheng looked away only after watching Ning Tingbei's car drive farther and farther away until it disappeared from her sight.

Lin Yunzheng sat there alone, gently stirring her now-cold cappuccino, her mind already wandering. Perhaps his silence didn't represent indifference, but rather a hidden form of protection?

Lin Yunzheng now vaguely felt that Ning Tingbei's previous difficulties came to an abrupt end because Huo Chenyuan called his brother Huo Chenjun.

Is he too eager to protect his wife? I hope so. Thinking of this, Lin Yunzheng smiled and planned to ask Huo Chenyuan when he returned home in the evening.

At this moment, Lin Yunzheng seemed to understand why Huo Chenyuan had never added her to the family group. Was it to avoid her from getting hurt?

However, the fact that Huo Chenyuan bought a villa for Ning Tingnan still lingered in Lin Yunzheng's mind.

Half an hour later, Ning Tingbei drove his Porsche slowly into his garage, his face as gloomy as a cloud.

The sound of wheels rolling over the driveway was particularly clear in the quiet afternoon, forming a sharp contrast with her mood at the moment.

After getting off the car, she walked straight into the spacious and luxurious mansion with a tense expression, obviously she had a lot of pent-up emotions in her heart.

After entering the study, Ning Tingbei walked directly to the desk without stopping for a moment, picked up the phone, and dialed the number of Jiang Qianqian, the design director of Kezuan Company.

While waiting for the call to be connected, she crossed her arms and looked sharp.

Jiang Qianqian's voice came from the other end of the line, "Mr. Ning, it's such a pleasant surprise to hear from you. The last time we worked together on an exhibition was last year, and I was hoping to invite you to dinner again when you're free. Is there anything I can do for you now?"

Ning Tingbei cut to the chase without hesitation, "Jiang Qianqian, I'm calling about Lin Yunzheng. I hope you can think carefully about whether you need to keep her in the company."
