Chapter 286: Obedience is worse than respect
Chen Bo and his brothers quickly tracked down Ye Sinian's whereabouts in secret. Ye Sinian returned to his residence in a daze, unaware of the impending danger.
Huo Jingchen sat in the car, looking at Ye Sinian's villa with cold eyes, the anger in his heart had not diminished at all.
"Master Huo, shall we take action?" a subordinate at the side asked in a low voice.
Huo Jingchen was silent for a moment. Just when he was about to give an order, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was a video call from Lin Wanwan.
"Hey, husband, where are you now?"
"I..." Huo Jingchen paused, then slowly said: "I'm in the car. Wife, have you finished discussing the cooperation?"
Lin Wanwan smiled and nodded, "Well, today went very smoothly. Hubby, how about we celebrate tonight!"
Hearing this, Huo Jingchen frowned, "Celebrate? Now?"
Lin Wanwan smiled and nodded, "Of course, right now, where are you? I'll come find you!"
Hearing this, Huo Jingchen frowned even deeper, "How about this! Wife, I'll book a table at the restaurant first, and then I'll send you the address, and you go to the restaurant and wait for me."
"Okay, it's a happy decision." Lin Wanwan nodded and hung up the video call.
Huo Jingchen looked at the screen of his mobile phone, sighed helplessly, and then said to his men beside him: "Let him go today, everyone go away."
Although the men were somewhat puzzled, they did not dare to ask any more questions and quickly left the scene.
Huo Jingchen regrouped himself, called the French restaurant that Lin Wanwan liked to make a reservation, and then sent her the address.
He drove to the restaurant. On the way, his mood gradually calmed down, and Lin Wanwan's happy smiling face was all in his mind.
Not long after Lin Wanwan arrived at the restaurant, Huo Jingchen also hurried over.
Lin Wanwan immediately stood up and went to greet him, looking at him with a smile, "Hubby, you're here!"
"Wife..." Huo Jingchen smiled, walked quickly forward, opened his arms, picked up Lin Wanwan, and even turned around on the spot.
Lin Wanwan was so shocked by this sudden action that she giggled. She put her arms around Huo Jingchen's neck and said angrily, "What are you doing? There are so many people watching us."
Huo Jingchen didn't care. He put her down gently, kissed her on the forehead, and said, "I'm so happy. You had such a smooth day today. It's worth celebrating."
The two walked to the dining table hand in hand. Huo Jingchen gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Lin Wanwan, and after she sat down, he sat down opposite her.
The waiter quickly presented a beautiful menu. Huo Jingchen handed the menu to Lin Wanwan and said gently, "Wife, take a look at what you want to eat. Just order whatever you want today."
Lin Wanwan didn't mean to order, but pushed the menu in front of Huo Jingchen, "No, you order today, it's my treat."
In the past, Huo Jingchen always paid the bill, and nominally he was the one treating her to dinner.
But this time, it was different. Lin Wanwan was able to do so and wanted to take the initiative to treat him to a meal.
Seeing that Lin Wanwan was going to pay for this meal, Huo Jingchen curled his lips and said, "My wife, have you become rich? Are you going to treat me to a meal?"
Lin Wanwan smiled faintly, "Things are different now. I am now the eldest daughter of the Jiang family in Haicheng. How can it be reasonable for a prince from the Beijing circle to invite me to dinner?"
When Huo Jingchen heard Lin Wanwan say this, his eyes were full of doting. He reached out and gently pinched her cheek, saying, "In my eyes, you will always be my wife. I don't care who treats who. But since you are so interested, I will enjoy the treatment of being treated by my wife today." After that, he picked up the menu and skillfully ordered a few of Lin Wanwan's favorite dishes, and added a bottle of fine red wine.
After the waiter left, Huo Jingchen held Lin Wanwan's hand and said softly, "Wife, I'm really happy to see you so confident and independent now. Your gallery and jewelry company will definitely get better and better. I believe you have the ability to do so."
Lin Wanwan held his hand and said firmly, "Well, I will work hard and won't let you down. By the way, honey, I also thought of a new jewelry design concept today. I will draw it for you when I get back."
Huo Jingchen smiled and nodded, encouragingly: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."
After a while, the dishes were served one after another. The two of them continued to imagine the future while enjoying the food. The lights in the restaurant were soft and the music was soothing. Their figures looked particularly happy and sweet in this warm atmosphere.
On the other side of the city, Ye Sinian sat alone in a dark room. The scene of Lin Wanwan and Huo Jingchen together kept appearing in his mind, and the jealousy and regret in his heart surged like a tide.
With a look of anger on his face, he overturned all the teacups on the table to the ground.
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound in the room, and the ground was covered with broken glass, scattered all over the floor.
"Huo Jingchen, I won't let you go!!!"
Ye Sinian's eyes were bloodshot and his chest heaved violently. In this mess, his figure looked particularly lonely and distorted.
He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, and all kinds of thoughts of revenge were swirling wildly in his mind.
However, after a moment, he seemed to remember Lin Wanwan's resolute eyes and words, and his body stiffened slightly. The indifference and disgust in her eyes were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing part of the anger in his heart.
He slowly unclenched his fists, slumped weakly in the chair, and stared ahead with empty eyes.
"Why? Why was everything I cherished destroyed by him? On what basis can Huo Jingchen have everything? I don't accept it..."
After Zou Yanbin drove to pick up Fang Xiaoxuan, the two went to a restaurant together.
Unexpectedly, I met Lin Wanwan and Fang Xiaoxuan in this French restaurant.
As soon as Zou Yanbin and Fang Xiaoxuan stepped into the restaurant, their eyes were attracted by the sweet figures not far away. Fang Xiaoxuan was stunned at first, then a smile appeared on her face. She took Zou Yanbin's hand and said softly: "Yanbin, help me check, is it Wanwan and Mr. Huo over there?"
Zou Yanbin followed her line of sight and said, "It seems so."
Fang Xiaoxuan was very excited when she heard this: "Wanwan and I just separated not long ago, and I didn't expect to meet again in the restaurant. Let's go over and say hello."
Zou Yanbin smiled indulgently, "Okay."
The two walked hand in hand towards the table where Lin Wanwan and Huo Jingchen were.
"Wanwan..." Lin Wanwan was chatting and laughing with Huo Jingchen when she caught a glimpse of the person coming from the corner of her eye.
Lin Wanwan was surprised, and a pleasant smile instantly blossomed on her face. She quickly stood up and said, "Hey, Xiaoxuan, Yanbin, what a coincidence! Are you guys coming to this restaurant to eat too?"
Fang Xiaoxuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, Wanwan, this is such a coincidence. We just met again after we separated."
Zou Yanbin also echoed, looking at Huo Jingchen with a gentle smile on his face, and greeted him politely: "Master Huo, what a coincidence today."
Huo Jingchen nodded slightly towards Zou Yanbin, then he stood up and took the lead in extending his hand: "Doctor Zou, right? Hello! I am Huo Jingchen."
"Mr. Huo, we have met several times. I know you, but you may not have any impression of me. I am Xiaoxuan's boyfriend."
Huo Jingchen smiled and said politely: "Doctor Zou is very handsome. I have seen you at the full moon banquet. I still have this impression of you."
Seeing that both parties were getting familiar with each other, Lin Wanwan quickly said, "Since we have met by chance tonight, let's sit down and have a good meal together. It will be more lively with more people."
Zou Yanbin quickly responded: "Thank you very much, Mrs. Huo, for your kindness. I would rather obey your command than be disrespectful."
