Huo Beijiang looked up, his eyes a deep red. He coolly said, “Phone!”

Ning Di immediately handed him a phone.

Huo Beijiang took it and skillfully dialed Tu Lou’s number. Tu Lou quickly picked up.

“Hello! This is Tu Lou!”

“It’s me, Huo Beijiang.”

At the other end of the line, Tu Lou instinctively felt something was wrong, “Even if you hadn’t said it, I knew it was you, Huo Beijiang. After all, I’m decent enough to consider you a brother.” His face winced in pain as he spoke.

Blaming Huo Beijiang for always being tough.

Ruthless, cold-hearted, fierce.

He had just gone to confront him, to sever their brotherly bonds, only to be beaten up in return.

A faint hint of a smile finally crossed Huo Beijiang’s lips, “Help me find where your sister-in-law went. ASAP.”

“Don’t push it, Huo Beijiang.” Tu Lou had had enough, “My old man is already suspecting whether I have a thing for this girl. If you keep asking me to inquire about her, my old man will believe it.”

Huo Beijiang’s gaze became a bit colder, “Stop flattering yourself! I warn you to forget that thought right now. As for your old man, I will personally call and explain to him.”

“Alright!” Tu Lou was truly afraid of him.

Today, he didn’t get to fight with boss, which made him sad. But what saddened him more was that he couldn’t beat Huo Beijiang.

“ASAP!” Huo Beijiang was about to hang up when he heard footsteps. He quickly turned to see his young wife entering the room.

Her eyes were red, making it evident that she had been crying somewhere in secret. His heart clenched uncomfortably, an intense ache enveloping him.

“No need to look anymore!” Huo Beijiang hurriedly hung up the phone before Tu Lou could even protest. He quickly rushed to the door, forcefully grabbing Nan Fei’s shoulder and pulling her into a tight embrace.

Nan Fei’s face was forced against Huo Beijiang’s firm chest, his steady heartbeat resounding in her ear. Thump… thump… Each beat seemed to punctuate her heart. The accumulated anger and resentment in her heart instantly dispersed.

“Wife.” Huo Beijiang dropped a deep kiss onto her forehead, his voice low and hoarse, “I’m sorry! It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have been away for that long, I shouldn’t have gone so long without calling you, it’s all my fault!”

Nan Fei’s strength slowly drained away, her body limply leaning against him.

The subtle change in her body gave Huo Beijiang a thrill of triumph. He held her even closer, not willing to let go. “You can be angry at me, but you can’t avoid seeing me, okay? I will listen to everything you say.”

“Wife!” His lips gently fell on Nan Fei’s ear, his kiss careful and full of emotion.

“Wife, wife…” Huo Beijiang’s voice was deep like an elegant cello, rich as fine vintage wine. Hearing him calling ‘wife’ repeatedly would soften even the hardest of hearts.

Nan Fei sighed lightly in his embrace, becoming further infatuated with his warmth and his scent.

“My good wife, are you hungry? Shall we go eat something?” Huo Beijiang pleaded, “Don’t worry, I’m just concerned that you’re hungry. I absolutely have no other intentions, I know you’re still mad at me, it’s okay! Being mad and eating don’t conflict.”

Nan Fei was left speechless.

Being angry meant ignoring someone, giving them the silent treatment.

If she went to eat with him, how could they still be giving each other the cold shoulder?

This man was indeed cunning.
