"Help me check the Young Master's flight today." Gu Ruochu took the initiative to take a step forward. After all, he had been with the Huo family for so long, and he had indeed been protecting her.
Uncle Wu seemed very happy. This was what she had to do. For relationships to work, one party always had to take the initiative.
They looked up his flight schedule and realized that Huo Nanchen would arrive in Nan Cheng at seven o'clock the following evening. Gu Ruochu decided she would wait for him to arrive and she would even make him some dinner. Having made up her mind, Gu Ruochu would cook a few dishes herself.
It had been a long time since she had cooked and she was a little rusty. It took her a lot of effort to prepare four dishes and a soup.
"Young Madam, are you alright?" Nanny Zhang came in and saw the burn marks on Gu Ruochu's hands. Her eyes were filled with concern. "Young Madam, please stop, I'll do it."
"No need, I've already done it." Gu Ruochu shook her head. This was nothing to her, she had suffered more serious injuries in the past.
"Young Madam..." Nanny Zhang looked at her, and her eyes turned red. She could not bear to see the couple fighting.
She would suffer every time they argued.
In the end, she allowed Gu Ruochu to use the kitchen from noon until half-past one. Nanny Zhang saw that Gu Ruochu's face was not looking good and thought that she was famished. She quickly brought out some porridge from the kitchen.
"Young Madam, have some porridge first."
"There's no need." Gu Ruochu stood up and calmly dialed Huo Nanchen's number on her phone.
Huo Nanchen had already arrived and Lu Fang had picked him up from the airport. He drove him to a popular Western restaurant. Lu Fang was aware that Huo Nanchen was in a bad mood, so he took him out to blow off some steam.
"What, did your wife give you a hard time again?"
Lu Fang looked at him as he lit a cigarette. The suppressed emotions in his chest were a little cold, so he chose to tease him and lighten up the mood.
Huo Nanchen did not speak, but there was a faint bruise under his eyes. He was still cold, which made Lu Fang conclude that he had not slept well in the past few days.
It was funny.
He had a typical sleeping disorder, and only his wife could cure him.
"Is there still someone who dares to give him a hard time? That's strange." A man dressed in a silver-gray suit quipped at the two friends. He sat next to their table the smoke from his cigarette went up slowly as he held it expertly in his hand.
He had an icy cold aura, and there was an elegance and coldness in his arrogance.
Lu Fang saw that Young Master seemed to be a little curious, and he couldn't help but laugh. He said excitedly, "You haven't been in Nan Cheng for many years, so of course, you don't know what has happened recently. Huo Nanchen recently married a woman. She was originally just a cute and pitiful, but for some reason, she has suddenly grown sharp claws..."
The woman sitting next to the sharply dressed man seemed a little disgusted by Lu Fang's words. She interrupted him, "Lu Fang, Nanchen hasn't slept well in the past few days. Why don't you try to persuade him? You're always saying useless things."
"An Duo!" How could the Young Master not know what his sister was thinking? There was a faint warning in his voice.
"Brother, what are you doing?" An Duo was immediately unhappy. "Nanchen was forced to marry that woman. If it wasn't for the old man, who would want to marry that kind of woman..."
She had a weak family background. She was also very cowardly.
"My affairs are not something you can discuss. If you can't do keep out of them, get lost!" Huo Nanchen was still sitting calmly, but his words were clearly directed at the duo.
His voice was as sharp as an ice blade.
An Duo's face froze, and she didn't say another word. Huo Nanchen's angry look had always been very scary, like a complete devil.
He had always had a bad temper. An Duo almost cried when he lashed out at them.
Her brother did not support her. He knew that Nanchen's personality was like this, and it wouldn't do any good to provoke him.
"Yo, someone called you." Lu Fang saw Huo Nanchen's phone buzz and decided to break the slightly awkward atmosphere.
Huo Nanchen paused and saw a name appear on the screen. The word on the screen was "Dear." He had changed her contact name the previous night.
After a few calls, he picked up.
