After Marrying the Villain, I Became Popular

Sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as the dense branches and leaves of the tall trees outside the window, reflecting on Huo Yu's slightly raised cheeks with a smile on his face.

His eyes are bright, the corners of his lips are slightly raised, he looks a little dangerous, but his smile is very pure.

It made Aunt Qin think of Huo Yu in childhood or youth.

Squatting on the ground with blades of grass to fight crickets, or taking a cool corner on the racing track to overtake the time, the kind of people who know that they will crush the opponent, but play others in the palm of their hands with evil intentions, are a little mischievous but Harmless, nasty laugh.

Huo Yu's life has only been 26 years.

In these 26 years, Aunt Qin accompanied him the most from the period after he was born until his parents had an accident. After that, he was admitted to the Huo Peijia School. It was not so easy for Aunt Qin to see him. After the accident, he went abroad to study, during which he rarely returned to China, and they met even less.

But even so, Aunt Qin still clearly sensed the change in his personality.

From a naive child, to a sensitive and thoughtful teenager, to a cold and deep youth...

If it is described by the degree of sunshine, Huo Yu has been sliding into that dark place.

Go calmly and firmly.

It was as if he knew that there was an abyss in front of him, but he never thought of looking back, as if nothing or anyone could make him change his decision.

But today...

The fried eggs on the plate shifted slightly, and Aunt Qin hurriedly put the plate on the dining table.

She quietly turned her back, unconsciously lifted up the corner of her apron and secretly wiped the corners of her eyes, then interrupted the two of them with a smile: "It's time to eat."

Then he said to Huo Yu: "Master, don't bully Mr. Xiao all the time."

"Hmph!" Xia Wan was backed by someone, and immediately became angry, accusing Huo Yu angrily, "Even others can see that you are bullying me."

Huo Yu looked at him, smiled lightly, and stood up.

But when Xia Wan passed by, he still paused: "But thank you anyway."

"Huh?" Xia Wan turned her head to look at him in surprise, saw Huo Yu's eyes were smiling and looked at him sincerely and said, "Thank you for the bowl of hangover soup you cooked."

Xia Wan opened her mouth, but didn't say anything for a while, and her previous air quickly disappeared like a balloon that had been pricked by a needle.

"It's nothing," he said, his voice quieter.

Aunt Qin's house is not too far from here, and it's also in the nearby old community, but it's just opposite to Xia Wan's house.

As usual, she didn't dine at Huo Yu's house. Seeing the two of them seated, she went back to the kitchen to clean up, and went home to have dinner with her wife.

"Young master." Xia Wan took a sip of the eight-treasure rice cereal and asked vaguely, "Did you ask Uncle Xue and Aunt Wen to meet today?"

Huo Yu paused for a moment with the hand holding the table knife, raised his eyelids to look at him, and responded lightly: "En."

He asked again, "Who did you hear that from?"

"Aunt Wen called me this morning." Now that he mentioned it, Xia Wan didn't hesitate any longer. He continued without hesitation, and asked again, "Can I go with you?"

"Wen Yunzhi wants you to go there?" Huo Yu asked.

"Yeah." Xia Wan hesitated for a moment, then said, "It should be Grandpa Xue."

Before, Huo Yu really didn't intend to take Xia Wan with him.

After confirming Xia Wan's background, he inevitably felt a little restrained when facing the Xue family, as if even mentioning Xia Wan's name would cause unnecessary misunderstanding.

Moreover, sometimes he himself would feel uncomfortable for no reason, as if he was really deliberately taking advantage of the relationship between Xia Wan and the Xue family.

Especially recently, Xia Wan and Xue's family got very close again, so he purposely didn't mention this meeting in front of Xia Wan.

However, Mr. Xue and Xia Wan are his grandparents, and Wen Yunzhi and him are his mother and son. Since the Xue family specifically mentioned it, he can't stop it.

Moreover, no matter how he evaded it, it was because of Xia Wan's background that he could be so confident in the Xue family's reaction.

How is it possible to say that it is completely useless?

"Is it inconvenient?" Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Xia Wan asked uncertainly.

"No." Huo Yu said, "If you want to go, I will pick you up from school in the afternoon."

"That's not necessary." Xia Wan hurriedly said, "If you are busy, I can take a taxi there myself."

Under normal circumstances, he would stay overnight in the dormitory today, if Huo Yu went to pick him up, it would only be extra work for no reason.

"I have time." Huo Yu said with a firm tone.

"Then," Xia Wan thought for a while and asked, "What clothes are you wearing today? Do you still want to wear couple clothes?"

Usually, they rarely attend events together.

But whenever they attend together, they will wear couple outfits, even if it is not good, they will also need couple accessories, plus clasping fingers, it looks like they are full of love.

Hearing this, Huo Yu looked up at him.

Xia Wan wore a white sportswear with gold stripes today, looking upright and full of youthful spirit.

Huo Yu is very busy, but he also noticed that Xia Wan likes this kind of dress very much recently.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Going to exercise."

"Yeah." Xia Wan nodded, pursing her lips in embarrassment.

Because he is very infatuated with Huo Yu's good figure and strong and beautiful muscles, he has been learning how to play with Shen Xing recently.

"By the way," he remembered Huo Yu's last sentence on the phone, "Let's play together next time," so he asked, "What did you ask someone to play just now? Basketball?"

"Golf." Huo Yu said.

Xia Wan felt a little frustrated.

"It's easier to communicate when playing golf," Huo Yu looked at him for a moment, then unconsciously explained, "It's more efficient to talk about work while playing golf."

After finishing speaking, he asked again: "What about you? Are you exercising recently?"

"I'm learning basketball." Xia Wan was silent for a moment, then said honestly.

"You don't even know how to play basketball?" Huo Yu seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then he suppressed a smile and asked.

Xia Wan has been sick all her life, so naturally she doesn't know how to do any sports, but the original owner is introverted and inferior. Because she has no mother and father and is disabled, she has been ridiculed by others since she was a child, so she also avoids group sports.

"You just laugh?" Xia Wan lowered her head to eat and said sullenly, "Shen Xing wouldn't laugh at me."

Huo Yu paused, suppressed the smile on his lips, and asked casually, "Walk very close to Shen recently?"

"Shen Xing is super good at playing basketball, and he is also very good at teaching people." Xia Wan emphasized while praising, "He never laughs at me."

Xia Wan's speech is sometimes a bit childish, "super," "very," "powerful" and "hmph" are used a lot.

Huo Yu put down the tableware, looked at him for a moment and said, "I didn't laugh at you."

He added, "I'm sorry."

Huo Yu usually has a poisonous and hard mouth, very hateful, it is very rare to apologize like this, Xia Wan couldn't help being a little stunned.

Before he said anything, Huo Yu said again, "Put it on."

"Huh?" Xia Wan was stunned for a while before he realized that he was answering his question about whether to wear couple clothes.

"Wear the beige suit." Huo Yu said again, "Change after dinner."

"I'll take it to school and change it before leaving in the afternoon." Xia Wan said.

Huo Yu didn't speak any more, but he looked somewhat unhappy.

In the afternoon, when Huo Yu came to pick up Xia Wan, he put on the suit mentioned at breakfast, with a light gray striped tie, looking intellectual and noble.

Xia Wan came out with Su Tang, and naturally wanted to climb to the back seat together.

But as soon as he opened the car door, Huo Yu called out his name with a smile.

After Su Tang pushed herself quietly, Xia Wan went to the front passenger seat and sat down, and began to perform the scene of a loving couple.

The hotel is reserved by Huo Yu. It is in the sky garden on the top floor. The view is very good, and you can see the lights of the whole city.

Open the door and enter, first there is a leisure area, in which there is a large transparent tea room, surrounded by billiard tables, mahjong machines and game machines...

Relaxing pastime for people of all ages.

Go inside, and then open a door, which is the restaurant. On the huge long dining table, lilies are in bud.

The entrance elevator leads directly to the leisure area. As soon as the elevator door opened, Xia Wan saw Xue Wenxuan and Xue Zhen playing chess, and Xue Chong and Wen Yunzhi were drinking tea and chatting leisurely in the tea room.

Su Tang was the first to jump out and called out "Grandpa".

At the same time, Xia Wan felt that Huo Yu's hand that had been holding her tightly since getting off the car suddenly let go of it somehow.

He was a little strange, but he didn't think much, and immediately reached out and held Huo Yu's hand in his palm.

"Grandpa." Xia Wan pulled Huo Yu over and greeted him very familiarly and relaxedly.

Xue Zhen and Xue Wenxuan were fighting fiercely. Hearing this, he responded with a smile. He didn't get up, but his eyes glanced at the tightly clasped hands inadvertently.

He was obviously in a good mood, and said to Xia Wan: "Isn't your father fond of playing chess? Come and help grandpa take a look, we, old and young, will kill the shit out of him."

Xue Zhen is more than serious at ordinary times, and he is rarely so childish.

Xue Wenxuan looked at Xia Wan without realizing it, and smiled to make fun of him: "Can it still be like this?"

He also accused: "Don't talk about Wude!"

Su Tang immediately stood beside Xue Wenxuan: "Brother, don't be afraid, I'll help you."

Xue Wenxuan glanced at him: "You were sent by them as an undercover agent to help you, right?"

For a while, there was laughter in the room, and Xue Chong and Wen Yunzhi also looked out with a smile. The atmosphere was no different from that of an ordinary happy family.

At that moment, Huo Yu suddenly had a very strong feeling, as if he was the only one in the audience who was redundant.

But soon the feeling dissipated, because Wen Yunzhi and Xue Chong had already come out.

"Mr. Xue, Mr. Wen." Huo Yu greeted them with a smile, and shook hands politely with Xue Chong and Wen Yunzhi respectively.

The menu is prepared in advance, and once everyone arrives, the food will be served very quickly.

By the time Xue Wenxuan and Xue Zhen had decided the winner, the dishes were almost ready.

At the dining table, Huo Yu drank with the elders, because they didn't drink much, so everyone put a glass in front of them, even Su Tang.

When it was his turn to pour wine for Xia Wan, Huo Yu raised his hand to stop the waiter from moving.

He explained to Xue's family: "He doesn't drink."

The meal was enjoyable and harmonious. Although Huo Yu never talked much, he was very tactful in dealing with it, and blended into the Xue family's family atmosphere in a moderate and decent way.

After dinner, Xue Zhen suggested that the two younger ones accompany him to the tea room for tea. Xia Wan knew that they should have a serious talk.

Hearing this, he unconsciously reached out and shook Huo Yu's hand to cheer him up.

Huo Yu's palm was warm and dry, as usual, with a calm and confident air, as if he would not be afraid even if he faced the three members of the Xue family at the same time.

Xia Wan felt relieved and looked up at Huo Yu with a smile on his face.

He bit his lip, smiled, let go of his hand in relief, and walked out with Xue Zhen.

Perhaps it was because all his attention was on Huo Yu, he didn't notice the way Wen Yunzhi and Xue Chong looked at each other and smiled.

Xia Wan and Su Tang drank a few rounds of tea with the old man. Not long after, Su Tang's attention was attracted by the game console outside, leaving Xia Wan alone.

Mr. Xue put down the small tea bowl and asked Xia Wan, "Is your father's last chemotherapy coming soon?"

"Yeah." Xia Wan nodded, "I'll be admitted to the hospital next week, and if there are no problems, arrange the last chemotherapy."

"Is your spirit okay?" Xue Zhen asked, "This treatment must have taken more than half a year."

"More than half a year." Xia Wan said with a smile. "But it's okay, my dad's physical fitness is not bad, and he will definitely be able to raise him back in the future."

Xue Zhen nodded when he heard the words, opened the cabinet next to him, and took out a metal bucket that wasn't too big.

"I asked the doctor not to recommend taking other things, but this is okay." Xue Zhen handed the bucket to Xia Wan.

Xia Wan took it and looked at the package, it was Ganoderma lucidum spore oil.

"Thank you Grandpa," he said, "I brought you a present too."

"Oh?" The old man became interested and leaned forward.

Xia Wan took out a small black and gold jewelry box from her backpack, and handed it over with a smile.

Xue Zhen opened it, and it was a very simple pearl brooch.

"Or did you design it?" Xue Zhen asked.

Xia Wan nodded: "The big goods haven't been released yet, I took this secretly."

Xue Zhen laughed heartily: "Then I have to ask my assistant to arrange a few more activities, and use them first."

The door of the restaurant opened, Wen Yunzhi and Xue Chong walked in front, Huo Yu and Xue Wenxuan followed closely, talking while walking.

Looking up, what I saw was Xia Wan and Xue Zhen enjoying themselves happily.

The footsteps of several people paused, and then they walked out together.

"Huo Yu." Xia Wan and Xue Zhen also came out of the tea room, holding the Ganoderma lucidum spore oil in his arms, holding Huo Yu's hand with the other hand.

Huo Yu looked at him with a smile, his expression was calm.

He took the bucket in Xia Wan's arms, and said goodbye to Xue's family politely, so that Xia Wan could not judge the result of his negotiation.

It wasn't until getting into the car that Xia Wan couldn't wait to get closer to Huo Yu.

"Young master," he tried his best to hide his excitement, and asked, "how did the talk go?"

"How did you talk?" Huo Yu looked at him and asked.

"You're clearly here to discuss the project." Xia Wan said.

Otherwise, how could they have stayed in it for so long.

"You know again." Huo Yu smiled, but after a while, the corners of his mouth curled up, and a little bit of joy inevitably leaked out of his always calm eyes.

Immediately, he nodded at Xia Wan.

"Wow!" Xia Wan's heart was about to jump out, joyful and excited, "Really?"

He asked again: "How did you convince Uncle Xue and Aunt Wen?"

Huo Yu looked at him, his smiling eyes were deep and focused, and after a while he said softly, "Secret."

From the beginning of spring to the end of summer, Huo Yu walked towards his goal step by step, but he never thought it would be so fast.

He looked into Xia Wan's eyes full of joy, and once again felt that this person had brought him a lot of luck.

The stabilization of this project also indicates that he can finally be willful for himself.

You can try to reach out to the person you like, you can go for a certain goal not so mechanically for the first time, you can try to pursue what belongs to you, which is called "happiness".
