Huo Nanchen gazed deeply into Gu Ruochu's eyes. Her beautiful eyes were a little red because she had taken a few glasses of wine.
"Ruochu."
He reached out to pinch her delicate chin, and his lips gently pressed against hers. Gu Ruochu closed her eyes subconsciously and opened them again as if she was blinking.
Huo Nanchen looked at her eyes again and was in awe. Her long and narrow eyelashes fluttered, making his heart feel soft.
The action unintentionally pleased him. In his eyes, Gu Ruochu was so dumb and adorable.
Huo Nanchen could not control himself, and he kissed her intensely.
His heart itched, and a beast-like green light appeared in his eyes. However, he remained expressionless. "Wifey, can you forgive me now?"
Gu Ruochu did not reply but raised her head and kissed him on the chin. His breathing quickened, and he leaned over to kiss her again. He pinched her fingers and unbuttoned a few buttons on her collar. "When will you be able to comfort your husband? Hmm?"
Gu Ruochu was stunned by his words.
"Huo Nanchen, sit over there, and don't hug me."
Huo Nanchen let go of her. Gu Ruochu had flown into a rage out of humiliation, but he still felt a little reluctant to part with her. However, she despised the thought of him trying to seduce her into bed while they were at the Western restaurant.
He sat across Gu Ruochu with much difficulty and could only rely on the food to divert his attention from her beauty.
"Nanchen."
"Hmm?"
"You must have heard about the newly married first lady, right?"
"Why are you paying attention to the presidential palace?" Huo Nanchen took the goblet in Gu Ruochu's hand. "You're not allowed to drink anymore. You're going to get drunk."
"I noticed that the first lady is very young and beautiful, so I paid attention to her."
"I think you're worried that the Ning family's status will rise and that they'll attack Xu Yichen, right?"
Gu Ruochu did not hide the fact that she had been exposed. "I don't think that Miss Ning has any intention of withdrawing her accusation against Yichen. Hubby, I'm afraid that she won't let it go. Even if Lan Nuo doesn't help her, she has the first lady's support now."
They Ning family wouldn't dare to touch Gu Ruochu, but they were not afraid to attack the people around her.
Huo Nanchen saw that she was acting paranoid and calmly said, "Come, let's have a toast. I will help you analyze it."
Although Xu Yichen's matter had been settled, the first thing she had thought of when she saw the news was his safety, which made Huo Nanchen a little unhappy.
His wife was still worried about Xu Yichen.
"Why are you asking for so much?" Gu Ruochu complained softly, "He's really hard to please."
When Huo Nanchen saw her complain so softly, his smile deepened. "Then, does Madam Huo want to drink?"
The corners of Gu Ruochu's lips curled. She raised her goblet and toasted his glass before taking a sip.
Huo Nanchen's gaze softened. In ancient times, a toast meant that a husband and wife loved each other.
He took the opportunity to ask for another kiss, but Gu Ruochu furrowed her brows. She did not expect him to be so clingy.
"My wife is the most obedient."
Huo Nanchen said softly as he smoothed out his hair.
"Don't worry. As long as Lan Nuo is not involved in the lawsuit, it's almost impossible for Zhang Yuan to win. The First Lady has to act in her best interest and wouldn't be involved in such a high profile matter."
"Is Lan Nuo that good?"
"Of course, she's one of the top ten lawyers in Nan Cheng. The rest are all old men, and she's only in her twenties. Did you belittle her before?"
"I wouldn't dare. After all, she's my husband's subordinate."
"Yes."
