As soon as Huo Tinghai showed up, the first room quieted down and no one made trouble anymore.

If Chu Ciyou didn't know that he was not a good person, he would be grateful to him!

Whenever I think about him bribing the cafeteria staff, my scalp tingles and I dare not touch the food prepared by the restaurant.

She couldn't tell the restaurant not to prepare her meal, for fear that Huo Tinghai would come up with other tricks after knowing it, which would be even more difficult to guard against.

Every day, Wang Rui would bring the food up, then throw it away, and Jiang Bei would eat the takeout that he secretly ordered.

But how can take-out be as delicious as the food served in the cafeteria?

After a few days, Chu Ci complained: "Jiangbei, how long will this life last?"

"What day?"

Huo Tinghai walked into the office leisurely again.

Chu Ciyou was alert for a second: "Why are you here again?"

"I helped, so I am not even worthy of being called cousin?"

Huo Tinghai fiddled with his tie in a casual manner, with a playful smile on his handsome face.

He believed that this move was invincible and no woman could refuse it.

But he ignored Chu Ciyou's determination - what's so good about being a man? It's better to be a queen!

Therefore, Chu Ciyou just thought that he was pretending to be cool and was very annoying.

"Cousin, what's wrong?"

Chu Ciyou was indifferent, sitting behind her desk looking at the beef tenderloin pasta she had hidden in the drawer.

Luckily, she had worked overtime today and hadn't started eating yet. Otherwise, she would have been caught.

"Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?" Huo Tinghai sat down on the sofa, leisurely and comfortable.

Visiting someone's office is like visiting his own home.

Chu Ciyou really wanted to curse, but held back because of the occasion.

"Before Tingchen wakes up, I will avoid any male contact after work. Please know this, cousin."

"But shouldn't you treat me to a meal? I helped you block grandma's wrath!"

Huo Tinghai leaned forward and looked at Chu Ciyou with burning eyes.

"I've already eaten." Chu Ciyou glanced at the pasta in the drawer and lied with a straight face.

I’m so hungry. When will this guy leave?

"There's more time for dinner." Huo Tinghai said.

"I have to go home to be with my husband at night." Chu Ciyou said.

"After dinner, I'll go back with you to see Tingchen. He doesn't need to eat anyway, so I can just talk to my aunt."

After Huo Tinghai finished speaking, he called Qin Rufang without waiting for Chu Ciyou to refuse: "Aunt, I have something to do today and I have to delay Ciyou for a while, is that okay?"

"I also made an appointment with Xiaoyou to do something else!" Qin Rufang certainly disagreed.

Chu Ciyou breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, Huo Tinghai said, "I will do my best to stop grandma, please rest assured, aunt."

"That...alright! But don't keep her too long. You must send her back before dark."

"it is good."

Huo Tinghai smiled at Chu Ci with satisfaction: "It's settled."

Chuciyou: ………

Damn it, Huo Tinghai actually brought out his grandmother to suppress his mother-in-law!

"Okay, I'll let you know the time and place after I order the food." Chu Ciyou said angrily.

When she gets angry, her little face will turn red.

Huo Tinghai had seen many women who wore heavy makeup and acted pretentiously, so he only thought Chu Ciyou was fresh and lovely.

The desire to win her heart became stronger.

However, he would not be as rude to the beautiful woman as a playboy.

That method is too low-level and not worthy of him, Huo Tinghai.

He needs to take it step by step.

"Waiting for good news."

Huo Tinghai smiled elegantly and finally left.

Chu Ciyou cursed irritably: "MMP!"

"Pfft! Young Madam, you don't usually swear." Rong Yu was amused.

Chu Ciyou was stunned.

Yes, she never swore since she was a child. But since she came to the Huo family, her temper has become more and more violent.

However, it feels so good to curse at people!

Even if you curse someone behind their back, it can help vent your anger.

Is this the advantage of poor quality?

Well, she will have to act more badly in the future.

"Young Madam, your pasta is getting cold." Rong Yu reminded her.

Chu Ciyou took out some pasta from the drawer, but how could he be in the mood to eat?

When I thought about having dinner with Huo Tinghai in the evening, I lost my appetite.

Since it hadn't been touched yet, she simply gave it to Rong Yu: "Sister Rong, you eat it! I'm not hungry now."

"Madam, if you don't eat now, you won't be able to bear the hunger at night." Rong Yu reminded, "Even if you ordered dinner, you still have to be careful."

Chu Ciyou shuddered: "Is he that powerful? Can he touch the meal I ordered?"

"It's hard to say." Rong Yu murmured, "When he slept with his cousin, it also started at dinner."

"Oh my God! He even slept with his own cousin, and he is still a pervert?!" Chu Ciyou opened his mouth in surprise.

Ridiculous, so ridiculous!

"Otherwise why do you say he is a pervert?" Rong Yu smiled and poured a cup of hot water for Chu Ciyou.

Chu Ciyou sighed, drank water and ate resignedly.

Huo Tinghai is more difficult to deal with than any other member of the first wife's family. I'm afraid that the days ahead will be difficult!

"Young Madam, don't worry too much. Jiang Bei and I will be with you." Rong Yu said.

Chu Ciyou ate noodles and sighed, "You two combined can't beat him, right?"

"Well, he practiced martial arts with Mr. Huo when he was young..." Rong Yu looked embarrassed and then expressed his opinion.

"Young Madam, don't worry too much. I will protect you even if it costs me my life."

"You don't have to risk your life." Chu Ciyou took out the rose ring given by Huo Tingchen from her bag and put it on her middle finger.

With this, she is not afraid of Huo Tinghai using force!

Of course, that's provided she doesn't get knocked unconscious.

"Mr. Huo gave this to you?" Rong Yu blurted out in surprise, his eyes fixed on the ring.

"Do you know its use?" Chu Ciyou was even more surprised.

Isn't this Huo Tingchen's secret?

Rong Yu's eyes flickered and he said, "Yeah."

Chu Ciyou suddenly felt lost.

It turns out that the secret she thought was not a secret...

"Young Madam, the fact that Mr. Huo gave it to you shows that he cares about you very much," Rong Yu said.

Chu Ciyou felt a little better after hearing this.

I raised my hand to look at the ring against the light. The more I looked at it, the more beautiful it became.

"However, you must not mention Mr. Huo's abilities to outsiders. Especially the first wife." Rong Yu reminded.

"I see." Chu Ciyou nodded, and couldn't help but ask again, "Do many people know about this rose ring?"

"not much."

Not much—which means that besides the two of them, there are other people who know about it.

Chu Ciyou felt even worse.

There are so many people that Huo Tingchen trusts...

But what does this have to do with her?

The first thing he did when he recovered was to divorce. They were just husband and wife in name only, each getting what they wanted.

Chu Ciyou's thoughts made sense, but the pasta in the bowl tasted bland no matter how he ate it, like chewing wax.

Qin Rufang sent a message to explain why she agreed to Huo Tinghai and gave him many instructions.

Chu Ciyou glanced at it casually and replied simply: [Mom, I understand. ]

After treating them to today's meal, they will no longer owe Huo Tinghai anything!
