âSixth Brother,â Yan Yuanfei suddenly called out. He looked sideways at him and said earnestly, âYouâre not a child anymore. Donât mess around anymore. Itâs time to change your bad habit of frequently changing girlfriends.â
Otherwise, when he realized it, it would be too late to change.
âThereâs always some fun in life. Iâm not you, Second Brother. I wonât stick to one tree. What I want is an entire forest.â Huo Ci smiled casually and took out a cigarette in a roguish manner to light it up. âBesides, those women are the ones who are wooing me. Tell me, how sad do you think they will be if I reject them?â
He lit a cigarette and passed one to Yan Yuanfei.
Yan Yuanfei shook his head and refused.

He was not addicted to smoking. Only when he was anxious would he smoke occasionally. He would have to take a taxi later, and he was afraid Shui Shui would be uncomfortable because of the smell.
Huo Ci lit a cigarette and took a puff.
In the car opposite, Nangong Lengyu got out and pointed at him as she bellowed, âHuo Ci!â
Huo Ci was so scared that the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground. He subconsciously reached out with his leg and extinguished it. He looked at her as though nothing had happened and straightened his neck stubbornly. âI just lit it. I didnât smoke!â
As if Nangong Lengyu would believe him. She could not even be bothered to look at him. She only looked at Yan Yuanfei. âSecond Brother, go in quickly. Iâll be leaving now.â
Shui Shui said that Second Brother had a fever and could not be left in the cold wind all the time. It was also snowing heavily.
As for the other one, it would be best to let the snow freeze him to death.
Huo Ci and Nangong Lengyu left.
Nangong Lengyu really wanted to kick him away and tell him to get lost. However, she had no choice. She still had to rely on him to drive. Her driverâs license had been revoked some time ago.
Yan Yuanfei watched them get into the car. He brushed off the snow on his body and got in too.
Upon seeing him enter, Wen Ruoshui hurriedly draped a small blanket over him and held his big hand to warm him up.
Yan Yuanfei frowned slightly and looked at her. His voice was a little hoarse. âHave the two of you discussed what to do next?â
Wen Ruoshui nodded. âGet that master to take another two looks. Iâm going to the laboratory tomorrow morning to see how the experimental samples are developed. Iâll check again.â
âOkay.â Yan Yuanfei thought of Huo Ciâs last words and his heart shook.
No way.
Miss Dongfang was still so young. It was impossible for her to leave so quickly.
âWhatâs wrong?â Wen Ruoshui noticed his abnormality and reached out to test the temperature of his forehead. Afraid that it would not be accurate, she hooked her arms around his neck and pressed her forehead against his.
Yan Yuanfei let out a low laugh. Pleasant laughter spread from his chest. âDoctor Wen, has the fever subsided?â
Wen Ruoshui nodded. âYes.â
The temperature measurement by hand was not accurate unless it was a high fever. If it was a low fever, it could not be measured. The forehead was the most accurate.
Yu Bo, who was in the driverâs seat, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard her say that the fever had stopped. He drove home.
When they were about to reach home, Grandma Yan called. She knew that the two of them were together and insisted that they go home for dinner. She said that she missed them.
Wen Ruoshui liked the elders of the Yan Family a lot. They did not treat her as an outsider and treated her like their biological daughter.
However, ever since Chu Chu had fallen sick, there had been some rumors about her in the capital. She had become a snail and hid in her shell and not daring to see them, afraid that she would see their disgusted gazes.
In the past two months, the Yan Familyâs mother and grandmother had also called her many times. Every time, she would find an excuse to hang up without saying much.
How could Yan Yuanfei not know what she was thinking? He smiled and said, âDonât worry. Even if I fall sick and die one day, my grandma and mother wonât blame you.â
âNonsense.â Wen Ruoshui hurriedly covered his mouth and glared at him.
Who would curse themselves like that?
âMy family is different from others. They wonât change their opinion and attitude toward you because of rumors.â Yan Yuanfei smiled at her. âThey all think that youâve suffered and want to treat you well. Iâm the one being taken advantaged of.â
âIf you continue to spout nonsense, Iâll ignore you,â Wen Ruoshui warned him angrily.
What kind of nonsense was that? What was there to lose?
If he dared to say that again, she would not forgive him so easily.
They arrived at the Yan Familyâs old residence very quickly. The car drove straight in and they saw the two madams holding umbrellas and walking over. They seemed to have come out to welcome them.
Yu Bo stopped the car opposite them.
Wen Ruoshui was about to get out when Yan Yuanfei stopped her. He rolled down the car window and said, âMom and Grandma, get in the car. Itâs too cold outside.â
âYou can stay in the car alone. We donât mind the cold. Shui Shui, come out too.â Grandma Yan finally saw her granddaughter-in-law, whom she had been thinking about day and night. She was so happy that she could not close her mouth and waved at her.
Yan Yuanfei looked at the young lady in front of him and smiled helplessly. He whispered, âDo you see that? Iâm being despised again.â
âYou can stay in the car alone!â After saying that, Wen Ruoshui opened the car door and got out.
Yan Yuanfei sighed and held his heart sadly. âFine, even you donât want me anymore.â
Wen Ruoshui could not help but laugh softly. She turned around and glanced at him. âStay in the car obediently.â
Yan Yuanfei wanted to get out of the car too.
Grandma Yan knocked on the car window with her walking stick. âWe women are whispering. Why are a man like you joining in the fun? Hurry up and get lost.â
Yan Yuanfei sighed deeply again and nodded. âYes.â
Mrs. Yan even took a woolen coat. Upon seeing her daughter-in-law come out, she hurriedly put it on her and smiled lovingly. âPut it on. Itâs cold outside.â
âThank you, Auntie.â Wen Ruoshui put on her coat.
Mrs. Yan helped her button up her clothes carefully. âAuntie made your favorite braised pork trotters and steamed salmon. Weâll go back later. It will be just in time to eat them.â
Wen Ruoshui lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the middle-aged beauty in front of her. Her heart felt warm, and her voice was a little choked up. âOkay.â
Yan Yuanfeiâs car followed them at a distance. After being reprimanded by Grandma Yan, he left and went home first.
Grandma Yan and Mrs. Yan stood on both sides of Wen Ruoshui as if they were protecting a treasure and talked to her.
Wen Ruoshui knew that they were really doing this for her own good. They really liked her and treated her as their family. She did not see any other emotions in their eyes other than heartache and love.
âYouâre not allowed to do this in the future, understand?â Grandma Yanâs heart ached as she said, âYou donât know how worried your aunt and I were. Child, donât let your imagination run wild.â
âOkay.â Wen Ruoshuiâs eyes were misty, and her heart felt warm.
