Chapter 176:176, treat words like gold

Huo Jingshen only gave her a few thousand yuan for living expenses, she wasn’t extravagant enough to spend it all on a birthday gift.

“I’ll ask Rong An to bring the car to the ground floor and take you home first. I still have to go to the old mansion for dinner later.

“Okay.”

While Mo Weiyi was on the phone, Su Wanwan glanced around, and then she saw a gift shop.

“Welcome ” The cashier greeted her enthusiastically, “Miss, feel free to look around. Today is our store’s anniversary and selected items are discounted by 12%.”

A12% discount?

Su Wanwan immediately walked in.

She chose a black, simple phone case from a row of them.

She looked at the price, 588 yuan.

Damn, a phone case is so expensive!

“Can this item be discounted?”

The cashier took a glance, “I am sorry, this item is not discountable.”

Su Wanwan:

“Miss, what do you think about this pair of couple phone cases? They can be discounted to 80% off. The total for the pair is only 588 yuan, it’s quite a deal.”

Su Wanwan looked at the couple phone cases she was holding. The men’s model was black Mickey and the women’s was red Minnie. When put together, their fingers formed a heart.

Umm, this…

Even she thought the design was childish, not to mention the flamboyant colors.

“Is there anything cheaper?” Su Wanwan asked.

“No, this pair is the cheapest,” the saleswoman pushed hard for the sale. “This Mickey and Minnie design is really popular right now. Many young couples have bought this from us.”

Su Wanwan:”…”

But she’s supposed to be giving the gift to a thirty-year-old man!

“Wanwan, the car is here.” Mo Weiyi’s voice rang out from outside.

In a hurry, Su Wanwan said, “Wrap it up for me.

“Sure, Miss.”

Hurrying back outside, Mo Weiyi asked her, “What did you buy?”

“Nothing, just taking a look.” Su Wanwan coughed.

-I’ll have Rong An take you home. I’ll take my driver’s car back to the mansion for dinner.”

“Okay.”

Once outside, they both got into separate cars and parted ways.

In the car, Su Wanwan gave the address and then took out her phone, only to discover that it had automatically shut down due to low battery.

The black Audi traveled smoothly. With no phone to play with, Su Wanwan was bored. So, she said, “Rong An, can you play some music?”

Rong An responded with a stiff voice, “I don’t have any music in my car.”

So dull?

“Can we play the radio then?”

“No radio either.”

Su Wanwan was speechless, “Then, how about you sing for me?”

“…I don’t know how to sing.”

Ha ha ha, Su Wanwan couldn’t help but want to laugh.

How could Weiyi stand this bodyguard?

He was definitely one who was sparing with his words.

A while later, looking at the pair of couple phone cases she’d just bought, Su Wanwan felt more and more that they were childish. Unable to hold back, she spoke again, “Rong An, what sort of presents have your girlfriends given you for your birthdays?”

Rong An looked to be in his mid-twenties, he’s a man after all. Asking him might provide some reference points. Who knew…

“I don’t have a girlfriend.”

Su Wanwan:”…”

Alright then.

He was truly a conversation killer.

She gave up trying to talk to him.

Meanwhile, at the Imperial Court villa.

At the dining table, Fu Ziyang was occasionally glancing at Huo Jingshen across from him as he chewed his rice.

Why does Uncle Huo keep furrowing his brow?

Just then, a cellphone on the table started to ring.

Huo Jingshen’s eyes flickered, but when he saw the screen, his expression returned to one of indifference.

“Grandma.”

“Ashen, it’s the weekend tomorrow. Why don’t you bring Wanwan home for dinner and stay the night at the big house?”

“No.”

Grandma Huo was surprised, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

…Huo Jingshen furrowed his brows, not saying anything.

“Oh, right. Last time you said that your friend’s son was also staying at your place, right? Why don’t you bring him along tomorrow…”

“No.”

Grandma Huo finally sensed something was off, “What’s the matter? Are you having a disagreement with Wanwan?”

…Again, he said nothing.

Grandma Huo became anxious, her voice raising considerably, “What’s wrong with you? You are an adult, already married, why haven’t you grown up? Wanwan is only 20, she’s still a child, you should be coddling her…” “Grandma.” Huo Jingshen interrupted, “It’s children who need strict discipline.” “Nonsense!” Grandma Huo scolded, “Discipline, what discipline? She is your wife, someone you marry to spend your life with. I don’t hope for a strong woman from our family, I just wish she could give you a child soon, so that your parents can rest in peace. My poor Ze Cheng, gone too soon, I, an elder, sending off a younger one…”

Suddenly, the sound of a car engine interrupted her sad reminiscing. Huo Jingshen interrupted his grandmother, “Grandma, I’ll hang up now.” “You better remember what I’ve said, Ashen…

Huo Jingshen immediately hung up the call. He got up and walked out.

The black Audi slowly stopped in front of the villa’s gate.

just as Su Wanwan grabbed her bag, she heard Rong An’s voice, “Your husband?”

“What?”

“Your husband.”

Upon raising her head, Su Wanwan saw a tall figure walking towards the entrance.

Oh no.

She quickly said, “I’m getting out now. You should turn around immediately and drive away without looking back. Do you hear me?

Rong An:”…”

He was just driving her home, why did she make it seem like he was caught in an affair?

“Don’t stop the car no matter what noise you hear!” Su Wanwan emphasized once more. After saying that, she immediately got out of the car, continuously waving her hands at him, making all sorts of explicit and implicit gestures.

Rong An looked at her expressionlessly..
