Opening the car door, a gust of cool night air suddenly poured in, from the warm breath of the car into the cold air, her body involuntarily shrunk in his embrace. The corner of her mouth slightly moved, as if she was talking about something in her dreams.

He carried her to her room on the second floor and gently put her on the bed. It seemed that he was tired, so he sat on the edge of her bed for a long time before finally leaving. When he left, he gently turned on the warm floor lamp and the room was instantly dyed in a hazy yellow color. It was warm and silent.

After returning to his room, he took a simple shower and changed into his pajamas before sitting by the window. The servants saw that he had carried Huo Rulie upstairs with him, as well as two glasses of red wine. This was a habit of Umbo's before he went to bed. An Bowen looked at the two crystal glasses on the tray. His black eyes instantly focused, and he lazily picked up the glasses to slowly drink the red wine.

"Miss Huo is sleeping, don't disturb her." The servant froze for a moment, then nodded and went out.

An Bowen placed the other glass of red wine on the windowsill. The silver moonlight shone down onto the bright red liquid, as if it were given life. The light was as soft as lakewater. The moonlight poured in like water, shining on the floor and on the opposite wall, where a painting given to him by Zhou Zhuang hung.

When Huo Lianqing woke up the next day, it was already noon. She had never expected herself to be able to sleep like this. The first thing he did when he woke up was to touch his own body. Whether or not there was "someone else", of course, was to refer to Ambowen. The floor lamp was on, but there was nothing else in the room. Huo Lianqing rubbed her hair as she tried to recall what happened yesterday.

Her memory had stopped on the way back. It seemed that she had fallen asleep, and she could not even remember how she had come back to her room to sleep on this bed. The floor lamp in the room was still on. Huo Rulie went to turn off the floor lamp with her bare feet. The servant outside the door had probably heard the commotion in the room and lightly knocked on the door.

"Miss Huo, are you awake?"

Huo Lianqing answered as she changed her clothes.

"Lunch is ready. Would you like to go down for lunch?"

Huo Lianqing was shocked. What? It was already noon! When she opened the door, the servants outside were still looking at her expressionlessly. Huo Lian walked into the restaurant helplessly and had her lunch. After the past few days, he had probably figured out Huo Ruoyun's preferences and the food had become even more delicious.

Huo Ruoyun ate her meal as she scanned the surroundings. She was looking for the target of her question. In the end, her gaze locked onto the daughter of Aunt Wang.

"When did Mr. An come back last night?" Huo Lianqing casually asked.

"Mr. An came back with you. When you came back last night, you had already fallen asleep." Before her daughter could say anything, Aunt Wang, who was standing at the side, answered first.

"You came back together?" And then? Did he go out again? " When she finally got to the point, Huo Lianqing picked up the bamboo shoot tip and put it into her mouth. She was worried that this expressionless Aunt Wang would understand her intention for asking her this question.

"Then the gentleman will put you back in your room and you will rest in your room." It was a simple and concise explanation. Huo Ruoyun paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and stood up.

"Alright, I'm done eating." It turned out that the people here weren't made of wood. Perhaps it was because of the ambrosial nature of Ambrose that he had learned to be 'blind, deaf, and dumb'.

What was Umbo thinking? Was he trying to capture them? Was he deliberately trying to keep himself in suspense? Huo Lianqing had been thinking about this all day, apart from the time she had texted a few times with Gu Zhenhai. In the afternoon, Ambovin called back and said he would be back in the evening.

Of course, Huo Ruoyun did not answer the phone. The servant came up to her and told her that her husband would be back tonight. Huo Lianqing was stunned for a moment before she chuckled. The servant's face was filled with astonishment. After pausing for a second, he quickly fled.

Huo Lianqing felt like a concubine from the old days. She opened the wardrobe to carefully choose her clothes, put on makeup, and prepared to welcome Obo Wen back. Huo Lianqing seemed to be somewhat interested in the current attitude of An Bowen. It was as if he was trying to tame her, and when she thought of this, a sneer surfaced on her face.

"Ann Bowen, let's see who will be able to last until the end!"

When he returned, Huo Lianqing had already finished her dinner. Today, he didn't seem to have drunk any alcohol. His expression was very calm, and there was no expression on his face at all. When Huo Rulie saw him return, she came over to greet him with a smile.

"I thought you weren't coming back, but I've already eaten dinner." Her face was full of smiles. She looked like a gentle little wife facing her husband.

"You don't need to wait for me in the future. I'll basically eat outside." He loosened his tie and lazily sat on the sofa.

"Aunt Wang, give me a cup of tea." Only then did An Bowen set his gaze on Huo Lianqing, his expression revealing traces of approval. Huo Rulie's bright eyes turned as she looked at him with a smile. Upon receiving her provocative gaze, he picked up his teacup and took a sip of his tea.

"You like tea?" Huo Lianqing had her leg on her other leg all along, revealing her long, fair calves that were shining softly under the light.

"Occasionally." As he spoke, his gaze was locked onto Huo Rulie's face. He didn't let go of every single expression on her face.

"I'm going up to change, aren't you going to rest?" As he spoke, he pulled off his tie and leisurely walked up the stairs.

"Sister Wang, help me put in a bath!" Huo Rulie looked at his back and suddenly felt indignant. What did this man mean? Was he playing tricks on me? Was this game of capturing an old friend fun?

The anger that flashed across Huo Lianqing's face was quickly replaced by a smile as she followed behind An Bowen upstairs.

"Rest early. Good night." Just as Huo Lianqing was about to push open the door and enter her own room, An Bowen turned around and spoke to Huo Lianqing with a charming smile.

"Alright, rest early as well. See you tomorrow." The smile on Huo Lianqing's face remained the same until she turned around and entered the room. Only then did she stop smiling and frowned slightly. It seemed that he had underestimated this man. This man was indeed extraordinary.
