After the diligent Huo Feng had washed the dishes and wiped down the kitchen counter, Shen Yu had already gone back to her room for a nap, while Pu Sangzhi was chatting about literature with Huo Mingshan in the study...
Huo Feng entered the bathroom, washed his greasy hands clean, rinsed his mouth, sprayed so breath freshener inside, and also took the opportunity to tidy up his hairstyle, making himself look fresh and handso!
He excitedly approached the study door, pausing specially, hands in his pockets, chin lifted, posing nonchalantly against the doorfra without making a sound, just quietly watching the two of them.
Pu Sangzhi turned her head and noticed him first, curling her lips at him. Then, Huo Mingshan turned his head following her gaze and looked at Huo Feng too.
However, upon seeing Huo Feng, Huo Mingshan’s eyebrows furrowed, "What do you want?"
"May I ask, when can I take my girlfriend back?" Huo Feng said bluntly.
Caught in an awkward situation, Pu Sangzhi glanced at Huo Mingshan, not knowing what to say.
"What’s the rush! You brought Sangzhi to see today, not to keep you company!"
Huo Mingshan retorted at Huo Feng and ignored him after that, continuing to speak to Pu Sangzhi, "Earlier, the books I recomnded—if you read them carefully, they will be greatly beneficial. You should..."
"Cough, cough..."
Standing at the doorway of the study, Huo Feng deliberately coughed to interrupt Huo Mingshan.
Huo Mingshan and Pu Sangzhi both glanced at Huo Feng, who then stopped talking again.
Two seconds later, Huo Mingshan continued talking to Pu Sangzhi, "The content might be a bit dry, not as thrilling as those novels. But it definitely has depth..."
"Cough, cough!"
Huo Feng coughed deliberately again, interrupting Huo Mingshan’s words.
When Huo Mingshan and Pu Sangzhi looked at him again, he still did not speak or move, only lifting his chin, showing a ’I can wait you guys out’ expression.
Two seconds later, for the third ti, Huo Mingshan said to Pu Sangzhi, "I’ve read all these, you can take them ho later. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask..."
"Cough, cough!"
For the third ti, Huo Feng deliberately coughed, interrupting Huo Mingshan’s words.
By then, Huo Mingshan’s face had turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions, not wanting to lose his composure in front of Sangzhi.
Two seconds later, Huo Mingshan threw the book he was holding onto the desk, then said to Pu Sangzhi, "You can take any book here, just let know. You’re welco to co over to read anyti."
"Cough, cough..."
"Shut up!"
When Huo Feng coughed for the fourth ti, Huo Mingshan turned around and scolded him sharply, "Nagging, nagging, nagging—what’s so urgent about it! What’s wrong with talking a bit more with Sangzhi"
So, Huo Feng still got scolded today...
Especially getting scolded in front of Pu Sangzhi, he felt particularly embarrassed!
To avoid further conflict with old Huo, Huo Feng didn’t stoop to his level; instead, he cowardly turned around and without another word, went back to his room.
The silent departure of his figure looked timid, but also sohow conveyed that he was angry.
Pu Sangzhi felt a bit sorry for him seeing how she had suddenly scolded Huo Feng so harshly.
At the sa ti, she got to see another side of Huo Mingshan, understanding the weird dynamic between father and son. She also realized why their relationship had been so tense over the years...
"Hmph! That rude brat!"
Huo Mingshan, still angry, slamd a book on the desk, sighed deeply, and then cald down his agitated mood, "Sangzhi..."
Pu Sangzhi quickly looked at him, "Yes, Teacher."
Huo Mingshan told her, "I’ll leave you two alone then. You go keep him company, I’m going to take a nap too. Stay for dinner tonight, I’ll drive you ho."
Pu Sangzhi hurriedly nodded, "Thank you, Teacher."
After speaking, Huo Mingshan walked her out, continuing to mutter as they went, "That kid has a terrible temper. If he ever bullies you, you must tell . I’ll definitely teach him a lesson."
Pu Sangzhi awkwardly smiled, "Thank you, Teacher, but he usually doesn’t bully ."
Huo Mingshan then asked, "So you an to say he does bully you sotis?"
Realizing she had misspoken, Pu Sangzhi quickly shook her head, "No, he doesn’t bully ."
Huo Mingshan looked at her with a worried expression, "Don’t cover up for him or take his side. If you are truly bullied, don’t keep it to yourself. I will definitely help you."
Pu Sangzhi laughed, "Thank you, teacher."
As the two of them chatted, they quickly left the study. Huo Mingshan pointed to Huo Feng’s room, giving Pu Sangzhi a hint. Then, he returned to his own room...
Only then did Pu Sangzhi enter Huo Feng’s room. The door wasn’t locked, and she went right in.
Inside, Huo Feng sat with his back to her, facing his highly equipped computer.
She ca in, but he didn’t turn around.
Pu Sangzhi thought to herself, He must be angry, right?
She locked the door behind her, quickly walked up to him, and poked his shoulder, "Are you angry?"
Just as she asked, Huo Feng suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulled her back, and directly drew the unprepared her into his arms.
Thus, the unguarded Pu Sangzhi found herself sitting on his lap, and the distance between them beca intimately close in an instant...
Pu Sangzhi glanced at him uncomfortably, "What are you doing..."
Huo Feng pouted, "You’ve been with my dad all day, totally neglecting ! The typical case of ’seeing the father-in-law and forgetting the husband’!"
He stressed the words "my dad" heavily, as if to seriously emphasize.
Pu Sangzhi didn’t get irritated with him, instead, she lightly punched him in the chest, "You’re blaming ? I haven’t even blad you for keeping it from ! Tell , why didn’t you tell Professor Huo was your dad for three years!"
Huo Feng casually responded, "Why should I tell you? I don’t have a good relationship with him!"
This retort... left Pu Sangzhi at a loss for words for a mont.
She struggled for a while before finally finding the words to rebut, "It’s because you didn’t tell that I was so an to you in the past! If you had told earlier that you are Professor Huo’s son..."
"What for!"
Huo Feng interrupted her, "If you knew I was his son, would you have stopped being harsh to ? Would you have turned around and liked ? Thought about being my girlfriend?"
Thinking about it, Pu Sangzhi admitted, "Well, not really..."
Huo Feng then said, "Then there you have it. Telling you or not telling you, what difference does it make? With my dad being like that, always treating like an enemy! If you knew, who’s to say he wouldn’t badmouth to you every day, maybe you would think even less of !"
Listening, Pu Sangzhi was surprised, and thought to herself: Their father-son relationship does indeed seem like that.
"But..."
Pu Sangzhi suddenly had a realization and added, "But even if you didn’t tell before, you should have told today before I ca! Then I wouldn’t have been so passive. I didn’t even know how to face your father today!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa~"
With one eyebrow raised, Huo Feng blurted out unconventionally, "You might not know what to do about him? You’ve been with him the whole day, it’s like you’ve forgotten who your husband is!"
Pu Sangzhi realized she couldn’t outtalk Huo Feng, but she inadvertently got a bit upset by his sharp retorts.
Thus, she angrily punched him in the chest several tis, pouting heavily.
Seeing her act coquettishly and get upset, Huo Feng actually found it amusing since her small fists didn’t hurt at all.
"Hey..."
Huo Feng suddenly grabbed her hand and with a smile forming on his lips, he teased, "My dad is your horoom teacher, happy now? If you marry in the future, my mom will adore you, my dad will look out for you, and I will spoil you. Feeling like the head of a family of four, happy?"
He sure had a way with words, managing to cheer up Pu Sangzhi instantly; any previous annoyance disappeared in a flash.
"I never said I’d marry you..." Pu Sangzhi retorted with a pout.
"Then who else would you marry?"
Huo Feng asked with a smile, leaning in closer as he spoke, "Think it over well, you won’t be happier marrying anyone else than . With my great prospects and wonderful family, I’m one of a kind in the whole world. Miss out, and there’s no one else!"
By the ti the last word fell, Huo Feng’s face was just a centiter away from hers...
Despite Pu Sangzhi constantly retreating, she still found herself cornered against the computer desk with nowhere to go!
From such a close distance, what she saw before was Huo Feng’s face magnified several tis. His breath sprayed directly onto her face, instantly coloring her cheeks red.
She pushed against his chest with her small hand, "You... step back a bit, let’s talk properly... mmm..."
Unsurprisingly, Huo Feng kissed her directly, his lips pressing firmly against hers.
A dizzying sensation enveloped Pu Sangzhi...
