After an unknown amount of time, Luo Beishi groggily woke up. It took about five minutes for the computer to boot up before he could clearly see Huo Cixiao's handsome and defined jawline. The background showed that they were in a luxurious living room.
No matter which angle you look at Huo Cixiao, he is flawless.
Wait, he's been pulled into Huo Cixiao's arms again...
"Host, you're awake. Isn't your husband handsome? Aren't you tempted?"
The system's babyish voice made it impossible for Luo Beishi to discern its gender, and he hadn't paid much attention to it before. But today, Luo Beishi finally wanted to ask, " Tongtong, are you male or female?"
System: "Host, the system has no gender setting. You can change the system's voice mode if you wish."
Luo Beishi thought about it and realized it made sense; why would he have been so stupid as to ask that question?
Huo Cixiao didn't look down at him, her voice as gentle as ever. "Awake?"
From this angle, Luo Beishi could clearly see Huo Cixiao's Adam's apple bobbing up and down, which was incredibly sexy.
Luo Beishi didn't say anything, but snuggled closer to Huo Cixiao, inhaling the bitter orange scent of her husband. Every day she was either hugging a handsome man or being hugged by a handsome man.
In other words, isn't he a winner in life too? He's now openly and legitimately lying in the arms of a handsome and wealthy man!
"Honey, what time is it?" Luo Beishi's voice was hoarse, and his tone softened unconsciously as he spoke.
Huo Cixiao glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen. "9 o'clock, that's two hours past the normal mealtime. Eat less later."
Luo Beishi: "I want to eat snacks."
Huo Cixiao genuinely couldn't recall how many snacks his wife had bought. "Don't eat puffed snacks tonight, you can have them tomorrow, okay?"
Luo Beishi: "..." He had originally wanted to make a fuss, but the word "good boy" stopped him. It felt like he had missed a skill or his ultimate move had been interrupted, which was really unpleasant.
Even the big shots are trying to appease him like this; if he throws a tantrum, wouldn't that be incredibly ungrateful?
How can someone with such a handsome face speak such gentle words... be such a gentle person...
Luo Beishi recalled how the boss had been bullied when he was a child, which made him furious!
" Tongtong, didn't we find evidence of that scumbag father Huo Da's infidelity? Send it to Huo Cixiao's mistress's mother's phone."
System: "Host, aren't you going to post it online? That's not like you."
Luo Beishi: "I'd like to post it, but I feel it's not good to expose it online... I just want to keep them from having a peaceful time in private, anyway, it'll only circulate within the aristocratic circles at most."
System: "Yes, host, execute Tongtong immediately."
Huo Cixiao found his adorable wife's dazed expression incredibly tempting and alluring. "Sleeping for so long, are you planning to stay up all night?"
Luo Beishi heard Huo Cixiao speaking to him. His unique and cold voice was easily recognizable, but it was always exceptionally gentle when speaking to him.
"It's all your fault! Why didn't you wake me up!" Luo Beishi finally succeeded in finding fault!
Huo Cixiao smiled indulgently upon hearing this, "Okay, it's my fault. I'll stay up with you tonight."
Luo Beishi: "..." Is the big boss trying to spoil him so much that he'll become lawless? He's almost there, he's already become arrogant because of the favor!
at the same time
Huo Cifeng's mother, Lin Lan, was wearing a face mask when a message suddenly lit up her phone. She picked it up slowly, opened it, and even the face mask on her face wrinkled up when she saw it.
" Huo Cheng, you bastard! You son of a bitch!" Lin Lan's face turned red and then blue with rage, her chest heaving with fury, and she gritted her teeth, wanting to tear the woman in the photo to shreds.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Huo Cifeng's younger sister, Huo Qiuya, passed by in the living room and saw her mother so angry that she tore off her face mask and threw it on the ground.
"Look for yourself! Your good father!" Lin Lan said, panting, as she placed the phone in her hand and tried to calm the anger in her chest.
Huo Qiuya clicked on any of the pictures and found them all disgusting... They were intimate photos of her father with another woman. This woman looked gentle and sweet, and you couldn't tell her age at all.
Other photos show this woman often accompanied by a young boy around 18 years old, whose features resemble Huo Cheng's.
"Don't be angry, Mom..." Huo Qiuya didn't know how to comfort her.
Luo Beishi had just married Huo Cixiao, she made a scene there. Ever since then, no matter where she went, she felt that people were pointing fingers at her behind her back, saying that she was the daughter of a mistress.
Later, she never dared to pick a fight with Luo Beishi again, and gradually developed a sense of inferiority.
She's been having a particularly tough time lately in high society circles. Many people are deliberately insulting her indirectly because of Huo Cixiao wife. Even her close friends have parted ways with her.
Because Huo Cixiao and Luo Beishi, this couple, have become so popular online recently, many people have dug up her mother's past history of rising to power.
Some people even made a PowerPoint presentation about her rise to power for others in the industry to gossip about, and she was so ashamed that she rarely dared to leave her house.
Now, the same thing is happening again.
"Not angry? You're protecting your father, standing on his side, aren't you? I've wasted my time raising you! You ungrateful wretch!" Lin Lan roared at Huo Qiuya.
Huo Qiuya already harbored resentment towards her mother, and the anger buried deep in her heart was about to erupt.
She retorted with a shrill scream, "Big Huo Cixiao's mother! She hasn't even been dead for seven days! And you're already in such a hurry to marry into the family!"
Do you know how ashamed I am in front of my friends?! You yourself are a mistress! What do you mean by "others"?! No matter how dignified and elegant you act all day, it can't hide the fact that you're a mistress!
"And another thing! You've always been openly and secretly belittling our eldest brother! Letting others bully him! How could you be so shameless! You deserve to be cheated on! Others are just doing what you did before! Now, this family has another person to divide the property, isn't that great!"
After Huo Qiuya completely exploded, she no longer cared about her mother's rising blood pressure. She threw her phone on the sofa, angrily ran back to her room, and slammed the door shut.
Lin Lan was trembling with rage. She never expected that the daughter she had raised with such care would view him this way, even defending that bitch's son Huo Cixiao... It was infuriating.
She took her phone back and immediately forwarded all the information to Huo Cifeng. There was nothing she could do; she had no real power in the family and could only rely on her son.
Huo Cifeng replied to her immediately after receiving the message: Don't worry, that mother and son won't amount to anything. Get some rest and don't get too angry and hurt yourself.
After receiving Huo Cifeng's reply, Lin Lan's legs went completely limp on the sofa. So... the whole family knew? Only she was unaware? Only she was dissatisfied?
"Hahahaha... I will definitely not let that little vixen succeed. Just you wait, Huo Cheng, you forced me to do this!" Lin Lan's true colors were slowly revealed; she was just a crazy woman.
She was able to coerce Huo Cheng into marrying into the Huo Family before Huo Cixiao's mother's seventh day memorial service, and she could make Huo Cheng make a choice again!
