Huo Ye turned off the stove and brought out the last dish. “Breakfast is almost ready. Go wash up.”

By the time Xia Sheng cleaned herself up and came to the dining table, Huo Ye was already waiting for her. There were a few home-cooked dishes placed on the long dining table. They were still steaming and the fragrance assailed her nostrils, making her feel hungry.

The imaginary milk sandwich had become an enticing home-cooked meal. Xia Sheng blurted out in surprise, “You made all these?”

Huo Ye smiled faintly and did not explain. He only urged Xia Sheng to take her chopsticks. “Try it, how does it taste?”

Xia Sheng did not stand on ceremony either, and she comfortably ate this meal. Compared to her previous life, it was rare for her to enjoy such meticulous care from the other party.

After cleaning up the dishes, she dragged Huo Ye and pushed him onto the sofa. She placed her hands on the back of the sofa and trapped him in her arms. This was a very possessive gesture. Huo Ye was shorter than Xia Sheng but did not show any signs of being offended.

Xia Sheng reached out and pinched Huo Ye’s chin, forcing him to look into her eyes as she said, “We should settle the previous matters now!

“The two of us are husband and wife who got our marriage certificate and have a legal relationship, but it’s obvious that you didn’t take me into consideration when you did things. I want to get back some rights as a wife.” Xia Sheng opened her mouth and declared her sovereignty domineeringly.

“What do you want?” Huo Ye was helpless, and his tone carried a hint of indulgence.

“I want to make three rules with you!” Xia Sheng lifted her chin and said arrogantly, “Firstly, you can’t run away for no reason. Secondly, I have the right to know where you’re going. Thirdly, since we’re a family, we should face any difficulties together!”

She didn’t want to wake up and find that he had disappeared without a trace again, or allow the Huo family to trample on him. Before Xia Sheng could interrogate Huo Ye, a call came in, disrupting her aura that she had worked hard to build up.

“Think about it carefully, I’m going to take a call. Reply to me later!” She picked up the call anxiously. When she found out that there was a racing competition tonight, her silent thoughts started to stir and her hands started to itch.

Just as she was about to agree to attend the invitation, she coincidentally met with Huo Ye’s half-smile. For some reason, she felt a little embarrassed.

Huo Ye’s eyes lit up and he chuckled. “Since we’re going to make a pact, I think I have the right to know where you’re going too.”

Xia Sheng coughed dryly and felt a little guilty. She suddenly felt like she had shot himself in the foot. She wanted to cry, this was the first time she had slapped herself in the face, she did not know that she would feel so aggrieved.

Huo Ye refused to give up and pressed on. “Madam, aren’t you going to introduce me to tonight’s event?”

Xia Sheng’s face fell and she could only beg for mercy. “It’s an invitation to a race, do you want to participate?”

She had spoken too confidently just now and was slapped in the face in the next second. However, she was the one who dug the pit for herself so she could only jump in while crying.

Huo Ye knew when to stop and agreed without hesitation, he didn’t tease her too much. “Okay, I’ll get the chauffeur to send us there.”

Although his legs were not very convenient, he was more or less interested in these competitions. Even if he could not participate, looking at Xia Sheng’s charm on the competition stage, it was still interesting.

Xia Sheng reported the location and the driver rushed over with the two of them.

At that moment, Song Mingfei was idling at home and had also received an invitation. However, he wasn’t in a good mood. Just as he was about to reject, his friend on the other end of the line spoke. “I heard Goddess R will be participating in the competition too. Aren’t you going to take a look?”

Song Mingfei’s thoughts stirred. That was the Goddess R in his heart. With such a legendary person about to appear, he naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity. “Sure. Save me a spot. I’ll be there as soon as I can.”

Song Qian noticed that Song Mingfei was packing his things excitedly and asked curiously, “Second Brother, it’s already so late. Where are you going?”

“I’m going to participate in the competition. Qianqian, if you have nothing to do, you can go find those friends of yours and go shopping with them for tea,” Song Mingfei casually replied as he grabbed his car keys and prepared to leave.

“Second Brother, I want to go too!” Song Qian quickly caught up with Song Mingfei and stopped him. She smiled ingratiatingly and said, “Second Brother, can you take me with you? I’ve never been to these places. I want to cheer you on!”

Song Mingfei thought for a moment and agreed. “Alright, listen to my instructions and don’t run around.”

“I will listen to you, I won’t run around.” Song Qian nodded her head vigorously, her eyes shining with excitement. Song Mingfei couldn’t bear to reject her. Therefore, Song Mingfei drove the car and sped towards the competition venue.

As soon as Xia Sheng arrived, she bumped into Song Qian and the others. Both sides were at an impasse at the front gate.

Song Qian glanced at Huo Ye, who was sitting in the wheelchair, and a look of disdain flashed across her eyes. “Sheng Sheng, why didn’t you come home yesterday? We were so worried about you!”

She pulled Song Mingfei aside and introduced Xia Sheng’s identity. Only then did Song Mingfei take this new sister seriously. However, when he thought about how Xia Sheng had hung up on him, his expression turned ugly.

“It’s fine if you don’t go home at night, but you even brought an unclear person everywhere. Do you have any self-awareness as a member of the Song family?”

After being scolded for no reason, Xia Sheng laughed coldly. “It’s my freedom to go wherever I want. You’re so controlling!”

Song Qian took the initiative to attack. She pretended to comfort Sheng Sheng, “Sheng Sheng, this is our Second Brother. Second Brother is angry at you because he’s worried about you. Let’s not ruin our family’s harmony.”

However, from the start to the end, the two of them did not bother about Huo Ye at all, completely ignoring him.

Song Qian and the others looked down on Xia Sheng and Huo Ye, who was just beside her. Moreover, the other party was a person whose legs were not convenient. Coming to such a place was equivalent to asking for humiliation.

Xia Sheng’s eyes turned cold and she sneered sarcastically. “What a pure white lotus. But if she acts too well, she will expose herself sooner or later.” She rolled her eyes. She was speechless at being surrounded by these people, not to mention that Song Qian had found a backer.

Is it because Song Qian saw her return to the Song family and felt a sense of danger? That’s why she couldn’t wait to win over the people’s hearts and then blatantly ostracize and slander her, so that she could get rid of this eyesore.

It was a pity that a white lotus like Song Qian was too despicable. Xia Sheng could take care of her with just a finger..
