Chapter 11

Shen Nanxi pulled her bicycle back in a hurry, feeling like the car was about to rush towards her and crush her to death.

Does this person want to kill her?

The car braked right next to her. She looked up and saw no murderous intent on the man’s face. Was he trying to scare her on purpose?

Her beautiful eyes were filled with anger as she stared at the man.

Huo Xizhou smiled, charming and good-looking.

Since Chen Nanxi traveled through time, I have never seen him smile like this. It was relaxed, exuding charm, and like the smile of someone who had succeeded in a prank.

He got out of the car, his figure was tall and straight, and the military uniform made him look even more cool and handsome. His cold and ascetic face had hard and firm lines, and his eyes were deep like a cold pool.

Shen Nanxi said unhappily: “Are you trying to scare me?”

When angry, he is always gentle and his voice is clear and sweet, as if he is acting coquettishly.

Huo Xizhou smiled even more: “No, the car lost control.”

Shen Nanxi looked suspicious and said, “I don’t believe you at all. This old man is very bad.”

“Why aren’t you in the store? Did you buy a bicycle?”

“The boss lady sold the shop, so the clothing store can no longer be run. This is my new bicycle. I’m going out to eat now.”

Shen Nanxi is used to making things clear at once.

Huo Xizhou’s expression turned grim: “You’re selling the shop you just bought?”

“yes.”

“Did you get compensated?”

“I lost money.”

“How much compensation?”

Shen Nanxi didn’t want to talk about the robbery, but now she had to say: “I lost 20,000 yuan. I was robbed just after I went out. It happened yesterday. But I asked Shen Cheng for 3,500 yuan back. I suspect that it was the money that was robbed by the Shen family.”

Huo Xizhou had doubted it just now: “No one is injured, right?”

“No, I just fell down.”

Huo Xizhou’s eyes darkened and he went to push her bicycle: “Put the bicycle back, I’ll take you out for dinner.”

Shen Nanxi looked at the bicycle being pulled away and frowned: “Old man, we are getting divorced, I don’t want to go to dinner with you.”

Huo Xizhou’s body stiffened and his back muscles bulged. He’s an old man, so why is he so irritating?

He pushed the cart to the door, fumbled for the key and opened it. You could see his sharp profile and his thin lips were tightly pursed.

Shen Nanxi retracted her gaze, her little face drooped, and she stood there angrily.

Huo Xizhou locked the door, came out, took her arm, pulled her into the car, let her sit in the back seat, and he drove.

He started the car and lit a cigarette, then said after a while: “In the army, my age was not considered old. You took off all your clothes, hugged me and said you loved me.”

Shen Nanxi’s eyes were stunned, and her expression was speechless: “You don’t have to tell me this, there is no need at all!”

“So fierce?”

“I’m fierce!”

Huo Xizhou smiled. He was in a good mood today. Suddenly, he thought of the unknown origin of her money and his face darkened again: “What are you going to do now? Are you going to work in the factory?”

“No.”

Huo Xizhou took a deep breath and suppressed his annoyance: “What do you want to eat? Is there anything in particular you want to eat?”

“Chinese food is fine.”

“Um.”

Shen Nanxi looked out the window, not wanting to look at him.

“You’re not going to work in the factory and you’re planning to make clothes?”

“Yes, I am planning to open another store in cooperation with someone. This time, I will let the owner of the cloth shop buy the store, and they can no longer interfere.”

“How did you become so business-minded? This is unlike you before.”

Shen Nanxi turned her mind around: “Being hit made me smarter.”

“Are you talking about me not sleeping with you?”

The man’s voice was deep and charming.

Shen Nanxi shuddered: “Yes, yes.”

Is this an excuse?

Huo Xizhou pursed his lips and organized his words: “As long as you are well-behaved and obedient, I can give you money every month.”

“unnecessary!”

“You have to be so stubborn, just to protest with me?”

Shen Nanxi wanted to say, Brother, you misunderstood, but she couldn’t say that: “No, I’m working hard for my life after the divorce. You can’t control me after the divorce. I have to live, don’t I?”

Huo Xizhou frowned and said solemnly: “Are you sure we will get divorced and find a way out for yourself?”

Shen Nanxi was a little irritated: “Yes, I took off my clothes several times but you didn’t want me, even if I drugged you, and you often mentioned divorce. I feel like I can’t see any hope, so I gave up struggling!”

“That’s cheap behavior on your part.”

“Yes, I’m cheap, let’s get divorced quickly!”

Shen Nanxi looked out the window angrily. He had been desperate for a divorce before, but now he didn’t want to divorce. She didn’t like him.

“Don’t do anything stupid. One wrong step can ruin your life!”

These words were meaningful and meant to persuade her, as he didn’t want her to sell herself out.

Shen Nanxi turned around and glared at him: “I want to find a young man, not an old man, you think too much!”

Huo Xizhou: “…” You’re saying I’m old again?

“You’re serious. Where did you get the money? I asked your dad, and he said he gave you the money but you didn’t want it.”

“The money I earn is not from selling my body!”

Huo Xizhou smiled unconsciously: “I hope you are telling the truth.”

“Don’t do this, I want to divorce you!”

Shen Nanxi’s face turned red with anger.

Huo Xizhou glanced at the rearview mirror and said with a smile: “Divorce, who said we can’t divorce?”

Shen Nanxi leaned back in disdain and stopped talking.

Huo Xizhou said, “We’re here now. Let’s eat and then get angry.”

He pulled the car over and came to the Peace Hotel. Shen Nanxi was surprised. This man must have taken the wrong medicine to come to such a good hotel!

She opened the car door and walked down. Huo Xizhou came over and said, “Let’s go.”

Shen Nanxi walked forward and put some distance between him and her.

The service in the restaurant was very good, they were shown to their seats and the waiter brought the menu right away, the restaurant was clean and hygienic, and the dishes on the menu were expensive.

It can be regarded as a star hotel at this time.

The stingy man suddenly became generous, and Shen Nanxi was unhappy, very unhappy, and asked after ordering the dishes: “Don’t you hate me very much, why do you bring me to such a good hotel?”

The two of them sat by the window. Huo Xizhou had a dignified temperament, but less cold and hard. He seemed dignified, elegant and very relaxed.

He had already lit a cigarette, and his handsome face in the clear smoke was very handsome: “You have been married to me for so long and you haven’t even had a decent meal. I want to take you to eat.”

Forget it, I don’t want to ask anymore. He said this was too ambiguous, but he asked again: “When will the divorce report be approved?”

Huo Xizhou’s expression was gloomy: “Soon.”

“Did you file a report?” Shen Nanxi asked suspiciously.

Huo Xizhou said calmly: “Yes.”

Well, Shen Nanxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Xizhou smiled with an ambiguous meaning.

The food was served quickly. Five dishes and one soup were ordered. They were all signature dishes, and they were not spicy. Shen Nanxi loved them. You know, this was ordered by an old man, and it was quite to her taste.

Huo Xizhou held chopsticks in her hand and stared at the people eating. I have also seen her eating, and she was not so elegant at all. At this time, every movement of hers showed her noble temperament, ladylike and gentle, and also playful and cute.

She is beautiful and even eating with her is so pleasant. As long as you don’t think about her past, she is really a good candidate for a wife.

He had been suppressing the beast that seemed to be about to break out of the cage and keeping himself indifferent.

Neither of them spoke, and they ate in silence.

Huo Xizhou looked at her, and Shen Nanxi looked at him. If you didn’t know, you would think that they were both dumb, but their temperaments matched each other very well. From time to time, someone would look at them and mutter to themselves.
