System: "Because Luo Bai spent your money and was hit hard, you are also considered involved."

Luo Beishi sighed, "Your systems are really bizarre! Look, the Face-Slapping Points are all applied to Huo Cixiao. How could I have been so stupid before! But, without the system, I'm nothing. What else can I say... Sigh."

System: "Host, don't be angry. It was Tongtong out of necessity. Besides, you can take a roundabout approach and get the villain to divorce you."

Luo Beishi: "Should I be a little more shrewd, a little more willful, a little more reckless?"

System: "That's not a bad approach. Host, please consider it carefully. I'll watch some TV now."

Luo Beishi: "..." What can I do if there's a system that loves watching TV but isn't even his own?

If it weren't for the surveillance cameras all over the living room, he would definitely be kicking himself!

As expected, life is never smooth sailing. No wonder it's called the " Villain Face-Slapping Protagonist System." Who the villain is is self-evident.

The fact that it also includes a "money-making system" is clearly compensation from the system for him!

" Shishi?" When Huo Cixiao came out, he saw that Luo Beishi looked unhappy, and his heart ached as well.

Luo Beishi was in a daze, unaware that Huo Cixiao had appeared in front of him. He looked up at Huo Cixiao's perfect jawline.

Well, everyone loves beautiful things, and Luo Beishi is no exception. "Wait, why did you stand up?" He used all his acting skills to feign shock.

Ling Kai and Lei Long, standing behind him, were dumbfounded. They were reporting on the events that had occurred over the past year when Huo Cixiao suddenly stood up!

He paced back and forth in the study twice before leaving, completely ignoring their presence!

What else could they do? They wanted to see what their boss was up to.

As a result, the eldest brother walked briskly up to his sister-in-law!

What's the meaning?

Ling Kai hesitated for a moment before realizing that perhaps the two of them weren't just in love, but rather in love with each other!

They've only been separated for a short time, yet the eldest brother is already extremely anxious, displaying a strength unlike that of someone who has just woken up from a vegetative state.

What kind of divine love is this? He was worried about this and that this morning, and it turns out they're doing great together!

Seeing Ling Kai's expression, Lei Long patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Huo Cixiao didn't answer immediately, but sat down next to Luo Beishi and looked at him intently. " Shishi, I shouldn't need to do rehabilitation this afternoon. I'm all better."

Luo Beishi frowned. "Really? Should we get another checkup?"

Huo Cixiao shook his head. "No need. I know my body. Also, thank you for everything you've done before, Shishi."

Seeing his sincere gratitude, Luo Beishi felt a pain so intense he could hardly breathe. "Thank me, then divorce me, okay?"

Huo Cixiao couldn't decipher the complex look in Luo Beishi's eyes, and tentatively asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Beishi silently suppressed his grief and gloom, "I presume you are fully aware of what has happened recently? Is there anything you wish to say?"

Huo Cixiao certainly had a lot to say, and he wanted to ask his wife why she liked him and what kind of person she liked.

But he had just woken up and couldn't do anything frivolous, so he slowly asked, "No, do you have any?"

Luo Beishi: "..." Brother, don't you have any spirit of opposing oppression at all? Please, this is an arranged marriage! You should at least say something against it, sob sob.

"I don't have any either. You already know what you need to know." And the persona of "madly in love with Huo Cixiao " is probably already deeply ingrained in people's minds, and there's no way to wash it off.

Sure enough, a cannon fodder is still a cannon fodder. Ever since Luo Beishi found out that the system wasn't his, he felt like the money wasn't his own.

" Shishi, I understand. I'll be holding a press conference tomorrow to officially return, and you'll be attending with me." Huo Cixiao's tone was somewhat amiable, but it carried an undeniable authority.

Upon hearing this, Luo Beishi Beishi's blood pressure was about to spike. Attending the event together in front of the public would make divorce even more difficult in the future.

But upon further reflection, Huo Cixiao's actions actually had their own rationale. As chairman Huo Cixiao, a harmonious relationship with his wife could stabilize the Huo Corporation and the stock market.

Perhaps this is what a shrewd strategist is like: getting married unexpectedly, never complaining, but instead maximizing their benefits.

Huo Cixiao noticed the man's increasingly somber expression, his brow furrowed slightly, and he lowered his voice as much as possible. "Don't overthink it, I'll be there for you tomorrow."

Luo Beishi was practically suffocating, pinching his philtrum. "Brother, I'd rather you just yell at me and tell Luo Beishi to get out!" His amber eyes darted around. "I still don't know how to address you from now on."

Huo Cixiao's apple bobbed. "Just call me whatever you used to call me."

Luo Beishi's lips curled up. "Alright, I'm going to play the drama queen!"

He called out with a smile, his eyes crinkling, "Husband."

Huo Cixiao's voice became slightly rough and deep, "Hmm, is there anything you want to do? I have time now."

So easy to talk to?

Luo Beishi had a flash of inspiration and said without hesitation, "Honey, I want to build a snowman with you, is that okay?"

Huo Cixiao looked up at the glass window, where a layer of white snow that had not yet been cleared away covered the outside.

When he was little, he used to play with his mother and build snowmen...

"Wear more clothes before you go?" Huo Cixiao withdrew his gaze, turned his head, and spoke in a consultative tone.

Luo Beishi hadn't expected Huo Cixiao to agree, which made him feel somewhat defeated, but at the same time, he felt a strange bitterness in his heart... Huo Cixiao actually cared about him, although he couldn't tell if it was genuine concern or... Oh well, he wanted to see how much the big shot could tolerate!

"Boss, sister-in-law, are you... sure?"

It wasn't until Ling Kai's worried voice rang out that Luo Beishi realized there were two other people behind him!

Huo Cixiao turned around impatiently and asked, "Why aren't you guys at work yet?"

Ling Kai and Lei Long: "..." How can this person have two faces!

He used to play by himself Luo Beishi, but now he actually has the richest man in the country playing with him!

"Honey, put a carrot under your nose!" Luo Beishi took out her phone and took a picture of Huo Cixiao. He really had the vibe of a handsome winter man!

Wearing matching beige sheepskin outfits, Huo Cixiao's ears and nose were slightly red, and he exhaled warm breath. Luo Beishi, his tenderness was undisguised. He softly called out, " Shishi, come here, let me take a picture of you."

Luo Beishi hadn't expected Huo Cixiao to be willing to take his picture. His phone didn't have any photos of himself; they were all of Huo Cixiao, who was in a vegetative state, sleeping...

He hesitated whether to give him the phone. If he did, "Aican" would misunderstand even more. But if he didn't, would Huo Cixiao think he was doing something shameful?

Fine! I'll give it to you then!

Luo Beishi handed her phone to Huo Cixiao, forcing a smile, "Take a good picture, honey."

Huo Cixiao took the phone, and his finger accidentally tapped the photo album.

His photos filled the room, and a barely perceptible smile played on his lips before he suppressed it. " Shishi, standing to the left of the snowman."

Luo Beishi struck a few simple poses, and Huo Cixiao also carefully found good angles to take photos.

After getting his phone back, Luo Beishi sighed, "As expected of a big shot, he doesn't even take a perfunctory photo."

Huo Cixiao's eyes betrayed no hidden thoughts as he said gently, "Can you send me the photo? I want to post it on my WeChat Moments, for Shishi."

Luo Beishi couldn't refuse, assuming that Huo Cixiao was just using it as a marketing tactic.

So the two decided to add each other on WeChat first.
