Chapter 2

His gaze swept over her white body, his breath hitched, and his ears turned red uncontrollably. “What are you staring at? Carry me to the basin, I’m freezing naked like this.” Seeing him stunned, she tugged at his clothes, urging him with a frown. Huo Jinchen came back to his senses, he didn’t answer, but hurriedly carried her towards the basin. He placed her in the basin and turned around, about to walk towards the door. Lan Yun’er called out to him: “Where are you going? You also got cold; you need to wash too.” Huo Jinchen expression froze, did she mean to invite him to wash together? She actually… invited him to bathe with her? He couldn’t believe it, he lowered his eyes, “There’s still hot water in the kitchen, I’ll use another one to wash, I…” Before he could finish, she grabbed his hand, her clear voice had a hint of softness, “Then stay and scrub my back for me.” Huo Jinchen was speechless…

…A few minutes later, Huo Jinchen was holding a cloth that was almost worn out, gently rubbing it on her back. Lan Yun’er closed her eyes comfortably, letting out a soft sigh. The strength of his hand was just right, not too light or too heavy, it felt very comfortable. Occasionally, he would also give her a massage, making her want to scream in comfort. He didn’t know where he learned this massage technique, but it was quite impressive. “I know you did all this today to get a divorce. Since you want to leave so much, then I… will grant you your wish.” The words “grant you your wish” were difficult for him to say, he almost held his breath as he spoke. Lan Yun’er suddenly opened her eyes.

She turned her head to look at him, her brows slightly furrowed: “You want to divorce me?” Huo Jinchen lowered his eyes, his fingers tightening slightly: “It’s you who wants to leave.” Lan Yun’er: “I don’t want to leave now, I think… my husband is pretty good.” Just kidding, why would she divorce and let the female lead, that white lotus, have him? Honestly, when she was reading the novel, she thought the female lead was quite a white lotus. The female lead was saved by the male lead when she was young, and from that time on, she had been smitten with him. But rural thinking was quite backward, especially in the 1980s, so even though the female leads really liked the male lead, she didn’t dare to express her feelings. She could only secretly observe him.

After the male lead married the female supporting character, the female lead had been quietly encouraging the female supporting character to divorce the male lead. Because the female lead felt that the female supporting character, who was a gold digger, was not worthy of such a good man like the male lead. She felt that such a good man shouldn’t be wasted on a bad woman like the female supporting character. She felt that there should be a better woman to match the male lead.

In the end, the female lead matched herself with the male lead, wasn’t she just thinking that she… was the “better” woman? The female leads clearly wanted to steal the male lead, to make him her man, but she had to make up such a high-sounding reason, making herself look like a righteous guardian of the world. This kind of woman, truly a white lotus that emerged from the mud without being stained! “What are you saying?” Huo Jinchen was startled, his eyes involuntarily lifted to look at Lan Yun’er. Lan Yun’er smiled, her watery eyes looked at his handsome face, and she said word by word: “I said, my husband is pretty good, I don’t want to divorce.” Actually, Huo Jinchen was really good, he was tall, the book described him as having a height of 183cm, which was exactly what she liked.

And he had strong features, a very handsome appearance.

Many male stars in modern TV dramas were not as good-looking as him. Most importantly, he was very smart, he had a high IQ, and he had scored first in the county in the college entrance exam. This man exuded an aura of excellence from head to toe, he was pleasing to her in every way. So… after transmigrating, she was quite happy to have picked up such a good husband. “Are you serious?” Huo Jinchen was a little incredulous, he couldn’t help but stare at her brows and eyes, asking. Lan Yun’er nodded: “Yes, I am.

It’s probably even more true than pearls.” Huo Jinchen: “…” He didn’t speak, but tightened his grip on the cloth and continued to scrub her back. Although he had felt that she didn’t seem to be as averse to him as before, from the moment she invited him to bathe with her, perhaps their marriage could continue. But hearing her say it out loud, he was still very shocked.

He had already prepared himself for divorce, but at this moment, hearing her words, his heart was like a huge stone being thrown into a lake, causing ripples that spread outwards, unable to calm down for a long time… Huo Jinchen scrubbed Lan Yun’er for a few more minutes, seeing that the water in the basin was getting cold, he put down the cloth and let her get up. She stood up and opened her arms to him: “Carry me to bed.” She was still wet, with water droplets dripping from her smooth skin, falling into the basin and merging with the water inside. Huo Jinchen eyes darkened, his throat tightened.

He lowered his eyes slightly, quickly wiped the water droplets off her with the cloth, then threw the cloth aside, picked her up, and quickly walked towards the bed. He put her down at the edge of the bed, and as he pulled the quilt over her, he said: “It’s cold outside, stay in the quilt for a while.” Although she had already taken a hot bath, she was a woman after all, and her body was weaker, he felt that she should stay in the quilt to drive away the cold for a while. Lan Yun’er smiled and replied to him: “Okay.

You go take a bath too.” Her words made his eyes flicker slightly, he nodded, turned and walked towards the door. After he left the room, she lay in the quilt for a while, then propped herself up and got out of bed, walked to a wooden box, and took out a set of clothes to wear. The original owner’s family was not bad, most of the clothes in this box were bought when she was at her parents’ home. Although they couldn’t compare to the clothes of the 21st century, they were very good in this era. She put on her clothes, ready to go out and have a look, but she had only taken one step towards the door when a sharp and sarcastic female voice came from the courtyard outside: “Jincheng, I heard your wife went to steal from He Shenshi’s house today? And she was chased into the river? Tsk tsk, I really didn’t expect it, this woman is always causing trouble, and now she’s even a thief. What kind of bad luck did our Huo family have to marry this thief into the family? Our old Huo family’s reputation is almost ruined by her!” After a pause, she continued: “Jincheng, I advise you, just divorce her quickly. She dared to steal from He Shenshi’s house today, maybe tomorrow she’ll dare to steal from the captain’s house. This woman, she’s a disaster if you keep her! You should hurry up and get rid of her!” Lan Yun’er’s steps suddenly stopped. After she transmigrated, she received all of the original owner’s memories, so she immediately recognized that the voice belonged to Huo Jinchen elder sister-in-law, Cao Yunxia.
