Chapter 191 - We Can Choose Not To Be Husband And Wife
‘What happens after I go in? Do I let you do whatever you want with me?’
Huo Xishen looked up and said, “It’s only a matter of time before a married couple sleeps in the same room.”
“We can just not be a married couple, that’d be simple!”
Yan Jinyi waved her hands nonchalantly.
All eyes were on her again.
With a look of bewilderment, Yan Jinyi thought, ‘What’s the matter? Am I wrong? Since we’re married, we should stay in the same room, but if we’re not married, we don’t have to!’
Huo Xian’s face was sullen. He had been recuperating and nursing his health on the small island. Hence, he didn’t know how strained Huo Xishen’s relationship with Yan Jinyi was.
And that storeroom…
“Who arranged Jinyi to stay in the storeroom?”
Huo Qingyuan immediately took a step back.
Back then, she disliked Yan Jinyi and simply treated her like air, but she didn’t intend to abuse her!
Huo Xishen didn’t say anything either and Huo Chengyu was rarely at home so it wasn’t possible.
Huo Xian’s icy cold gaze landed on Huo Zihang.
“I…I’ll just apologize to Second Sister-in-law!” Huo Zihang was on the verge of tears. “Back then, Second Sister-in-law insisted on cleaning the house and she accidentally smashed my favorite vase. I made her move to the storeroom in a fit of anger… I-I didn’t know that she’d have so much of a backbone that she really moved in!”
Huo Qingyuan glanced at Yan Jinyi’s gloomy face and chided Huo Zihang, “Third Brother, you were being too much. It’s just a vase. It’s nowhere as precious as Second Sister-in-law. How could you make her move to the storeroom!?”
Huo Zihang glared at Huo Qingyuan and said, “Wretched lass, all you do is kick me when I’m already down. Second Sister-in-law had a bad fashion sense in the past and you mocked her for being a hillbilly too, didn’t you?”
After the comparison, Yan Jinyi suddenly realized how tolerant the original Yan Jinyi was and how much the Huo family used to dislike her.
The original Yan Jinyi was introverted and preferred being alone. Apart from when she was filming, she would usually keep her head low as she walked. If the current Yan Jinyi had such a personality, she probably wouldn’t like herself either.
“No, Grandpa, I enjoy being in the storeroom very much. I really do, please don’t make me move out, or I’ll die!”
Yan Jinyi looked at Huo Xian pitifully with tears in her eyes that were full of sincerity.
After hesitating for a long time, Huo Xian suddenly sighed and said, “I’ll have to trouble Xishen to move into the storeroom too then.”
‘Old man, if not for the fact that you’re rich, I would have long been hostile towards you. Are you trying to push my limits?’
Yan Jinyi gritted her teeth.
“My bed is too small to fit two people.”
Huo Xishen suddenly looked at Yan Jinyi and said with derision, “Grandpa just wants us to stay in the same room. I didn’t expect you to be so eager to share the same bed as me. My wife, I’ve been mistreating you in the past.”
‘Dog, have you got any shame?’
Huo Qingyuan whispered into Huo Xian’s ear for a while, after which there was a sharp gleam in Huo Xian’s eyes.
Coughing into his clenched fist, he said, “I’m getting old, I can’t be bothered to care about you guys. I initially prepared a million yuan as a wedding gift for Jinyi, but since Jinyi’s relationship with Xishen is so strained. The money…”
Yan Jinyi gritted her teeth and looked like she was ready to give up everything. “Okay, I’ll move, it’s just moving into a different room. That’s not a big deal.”
‘I’ll just treat Huo Xishen as a dog.’
‘Second Sister-in-law, where’s your backbone!?!’
‘I’ll divorce Huo Xishen after getting the money!’
Huo Xishen looked at her in surprise, for he didn’t expect her to agree so readily.
Yan Jinyi glared at him before rushing forward to carry the skeleton that Huo Chengyu had given her, back to Huo Xishen’s room.
