Chapter 533: 340 How the Huo Family Men Coax Their Wives

The night fell quietly, with the moon bright and stars scarce, save for the rustling of wind in the mountains and the occasional barking of a dog; within the entire house, it was so silent that one could hear each other’s heartbeat.

Zeyan coughed softly,

“I think Xiaowu is right; Miss Shen is still your aunt, a senior relative. Since something happened, we should take full responsibility.”

“She’s starting her new job tomorrow. Given her state tonight, I’m worried she might get fired. No company likes an employee who’s a hot mess and drops the ball on their very first day.”

“What happened today was indeed a coincidence and my fault, and I should take responsibility.”

The man was leafing through a magazine and looked up, “How do you plan to take responsibility?”

“I… ” Zeyan didn’t really know what to do. “Maybe I can give her a ride to work when I go to the office in the morning?”

“Your company, and New City, are not on the way.”

Zeyan’s company was in the downtown area, while Shen Shuci’s company in New City was already close to the suburbs.

“Didn’t you say before that if she had an issue you’d be responsible, got her phone number and address and all? Why don’t you take her to and from work? Taking full responsibility?”

The man gave him a look that was silent but intense, making Zeyan’s heart beat wildly!

“I was just joking.”

Zeyan coughed twice, knowing well that with his personality, he would never do such a thing.

Do I really have to be stared down like this? Can’t even take a joke?

“I’m going to sleep; I have to work early in the morning!” Zeyan said, and hurried back to his room.

Staying at the Huo Family was truly dull, devoid of any recreational facilities. The layout and furnishings of the house were so simple they could be seen at a glance. If it weren’t for the WiFi, he might have felt suffocated…

…

The Jiang Mansion was quite far from Hexi. En route, Tang Wan received a call from Ruan Mengxi, and after discussing some work matters, they talked about Shen Shuci’s injury.

“Your aunt coming to work in Beijing? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Ruan Mengxi had thought Shen Shuci came to Beijing to help Tang Wan with family recognition matters, and although they knew each other, they weren’t in regular contact.
