Chapter 42

Huo Zhengye’s eyes were wandering, he didn’t dare to look at Shu Wan, his wheat-colored face turned completely red. It was broad daylight, and Shu Wan could see it clearly.

Shu Wan was feeling puzzled when she heard footsteps approaching, followed by Xu Yang’s voice.

“Old Huo, why are you still standing at the door?”

Just as Shu Wan was about to speak, she was blocked by Huo Zhengye.

Through the thick back, Shu Wan heard Xu Yang’s voice coming over, “Why don’t you go in, where’s your sister-in-law?”

Xu Yang was also carrying things in his hands. He heard that Shu Wan had moved in today, so he came to visit with Lao Huo. Especially since his parents knew that Shu Wan had saved his sister, they stuffed a lot of things into his hands and asked him to bring them over. He was holding all of them in his hands.

Xu Yang walked over and saw Huo Zhengye still standing at the door motionless, with Shu Wan seeming to be behind him.

Xu Yang’s eyes lit up and he stepped forward to say hello.

Huo Zhengye’s face changed, and he covered Shu Wan more tightly without making a sound, “I left something in the car, Lao Xu, help me get it.”

Xu Yang agreed happily, put his things down, turned around and went out again.

Huo Zhengye breathed a sigh of relief. He subconsciously covered Shu Wan. For some reason, he didn’t want others to see Shu Wan’s appearance.

Shu Wan poked her head out, “Xu Yang is here too?”

Huo Zhengye nodded, not daring to look around, and pushed and pulled Shu Wan back to the room, asking her to pack up before coming out, then quickly closed the door.

Shu Wan was confused, but decided to change her clothes. It is always impolite to meet guests in pajamas.

When Shu Wan took off her coat and lowered her head to look at her pajamas, her face turned red.

She doesn’t like to wear heavy pajamas when she sleeps, she prefers comfortable and light ones. The one she is wearing is made by herself. She never had the chance to wear it when she was in the compound. Now she is the only one at home in her new home, so she put it on last night.

She made it to fit her body perfectly and it was very comfortable to wear. The V-neck and soft, close-fitting material showed off her beautiful body curves. Thinking of how she had just hugged her chest, Shu Wan’s face became a little hot, and she felt embarrassed and socially awkward.

Shu Wan changed her clothes and came out. Xu Yang also came in from outside, muttering, “There’s nothing here. Old Huo, are you sure you left something in the car?”

“Maybe I saw it wrong.” Huo Zhengye answered calmly.

If you leave something in the car, it would be hard to find it.

Xu Yang said, “Sister-in-law, thank you for saving my sister yesterday.”

“It’s just a small favor, why are you carrying so many things?”

Shu Wan looked at what Xu Yang was carrying. There was meat, candy, biscuits and canned goods. These were all hot-selling items among suppliers and hard to get. There were two big bags in total and they looked heavy.

“My parents know about Xiaoling’s situation and are very grateful to you. My mom insisted on sending these things to me, saying that if you can’t deliver them, you can’t go home.”

Xu Yang was afraid that Shu Wan would refuse, so he spoke quickly, pretending to be pitiful when he spoke, fearing that Shu Wan would not accept it.

“Don’t bring so much next time.”

Hearing Shu Wan’s answer, Xu Yang was delighted and immediately took the opportunity to say, “Then I’ll put the things in the house.”

After saying that, Xu Yang turned sideways and saw that Huo Zhengye didn’t move. “Old Huo, I’ll put these in for you. You can chat with your sister-in-law for a while.”

Xu Yang reached out and took the things from Huo Zhengye’s hand. These things were bought one by one by old Huo when he went to the city early in the morning. He was very careful when choosing the goods. He only bought the good ones. He thought he was buying them for his own use, but he turned around and carried the things to Shu Wan’s house.

To be honest, he was a little surprised and confused. Shu Wan moved away, which was what Old Huo had been looking forward to. Why did she turn around and be busy as soon as she left? This was not the state of an immediate divorce.

It was clearly Lao Huo who proposed the divorce, but he now seems to have forgotten about it.

In Xu Yang’s opinion, since Shu Wan has become a better person, the marriage does not have to end in divorce, and there may still be a chance for reconciliation. Thinking of this, Xu Yang decided to put down his things and leave, leaving the two of them alone to develop their relationship.

However, as soon as his fingertips touched the bag, he heard Shu Wan’s voice coming from behind.

“He’s going to take those things back, don’t move.”

Huo Zhengye pursed his lips tightly and frowned slightly, “Why don’t you accept my kindness? I just want to help you.”

Seeing that Huo Zhengye’s tone was filled with genuine confusion and misunderstanding, Shu Wan felt that it was necessary to explain it clearly. She is not the type to drag her feet. On the contrary, once she makes a decision, she does it quickly and efficiently.

Since you are getting a divorce, you should keep some distance. It will be good for both you and Huo Zhengye. If she drags her feet and is misunderstood as being reluctant to accept the man’s proposal, she will suffer a terrible fate if the plot in the book is repeated.

Shu Wan organized her words and tried to speak as clearly as possible so that the other party could understand. “At present, the only thing missing between us is the divorce certificate, but it’s also a matter of time.”

“After the divorce, our relationship will be back to zero. You helped me this time, and I’ll remember it. Next time you’re in trouble, I’ll come and help you. With this back and forth, when will this relationship ever be completely severed? Besides, this is not fair to our future partners. I can’t accept these things from you.”

Huo Zhengye stared at Shu Wan with his dark eyes and asked in a low voice: “Do you have something?”

She shook her head. “No.”

“There’s no reason for me to be afraid of something that hasn’t happened. You should change this bad habit. Thinking too much will only tire you out.” Huo Zhengye spoke seriously.

Are they talking about the same thing?

She wanted to break up with him, but he made her reflect on herself and her narrow-minded thinking.

Shu Wan was a little depressed, and then she changed her mind. Since the hard way didn’t work, she would try the soft way. She remembered that Huo Zhengye hated clinging to her the most.

Shu Wan pretended to be convinced and asked, “You are right. Can I ask you for help with anything I encounter in the future? For example, if the light bulb in my house is broken, the water pipe is blocked, the leg of the stool is broken, and the curtains are not hung, can I ask you for these?”

After saying it all in one breath, Shu Wan was very satisfied with what she had just said. These things are trivial and troublesome. On the surface, they seem to be helping him, but in fact they can be understood as a means of harassing him. Given how much Huo Zhengye hates her, he should turn hostile and leave immediately.

Shu Wan looked at Huo Zhengye, waiting for the familiar disgusting fog to appear. Unexpectedly, Huo Zhengye thought about it seriously and said, “I’ll try my best to come when I’m free.”

Shu Wan was stunned. This… was different from what she had imagined.

Shu Wan waved her hands quickly, “I’m just kidding, don’t take it seriously. How can I trouble Comrade Huo with such a small matter? I appreciate your kindness, but I really can’t afford this.”

Huo Zhengye felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Shu Wan’s refusal. Why did he feel that Shu Wan didn’t want to see him? Shu Wan invited him to dinner yesterday, how come she changed overnight and wanted to cut off all ties with him?

He had a strange intuition that Shu Wan would never take the initiative to look for him.

Thinking of this, Huo Zhengye felt a little irritated for some reason.
