Li Tingyu’s lower jaw was pulled into his palm. It hurt so much that she furrowed her beautiful brows. She was in a confused state of resistance and did not have much of a deterrent effect. She looked even more delicate and delicate, “What are you doing? You’re hurting me. Let Go of Me Now!”
Huo Beichen did not let go. Instead, he curled his lips in a cold and cynical manner, “Mrs. Huo, where did you learn how to deal with men? It seems like the Li family has really put in a lot of effort to survive. However, their methods are equally laughable and clumsy. They sent you to my bed more than 20 years ago, and they still sent you to my bed more than 20 years later.”
Li Tingyu’s brows furrowed even more deeply. “Huo Beichen, you can humiliate me, but can you not bring harm to my family? My father passed away a long time ago, and my mother’s health is also deteriorating…”
As she spoke, Li Tingyu’s fair eyes turned red, “When you married me into the Huo family, all these years, your name was on the outside, and Ah Ze lacked fatherly love ever since he was young. My parents saw all of this. Their lives have been very hard, and they feel very guilty and remorseful…”
All these years, Li Tingyu had tried hard to pretend that she was living a happy life. However, whenever there was an auspicious day, even if it was the new year, when Huo Beichen was missing from the family, her parents would hide and sigh, she knew that her mother had complained to her father countless times, so her father had passed away very early.
At the last moment of her father’s death, he held her hand and said to her, “I’m sorry…”
Huo Beichen let out a cold laugh from his throat, and his palm forcefully pulled her little face, “Mrs. Huo, this is your choice. Everyone has to pay the price for their choice. All these years, the Li family has relied on the Huo family to survive. If our marriage is a bed-boy transaction, then I have already paid a hefty price. And you are so coy. Isn’t this a trick of playing hard to get?”
That’s right. Li Tingyu knew that Huo Beichen had already done what he had to do. He had been kind and generous to the Li family. If there was something that he had not done well, then he was not a good husband.
However, what kind of feelings did a marriage between a wealthy family have?
Li Tingyu also did not need his love. Even if he was not a good husband and a bad father, she could not blame him.
He was not the son of the woman she loved. He should be heartless.
Li Tingyu’s heart turned cold. There was no warmth in her heart. She reached out and pushed him. “What do you mean by playing hard to get? I don’t understand what you mean.”
“If you’re not playing hard to get, then what is?”? “Mrs. Huo, I’ve left you alone all these years. You’ve learned to attract my attention while also keeping me in suspense. Are you really not jealous when you see a woman by my side, or are you just pretending not to be jealous?”
Looking at Huo Beichen’s handsome face, Li Tingyu curled her red lips in amusement, “Huo Beichen, you’re the most arrogant man I’ve ever met. Who would want to seduce you? I didn’t even do that when I was young. Now that I’m so old, don’t you feel ashamed to say such things?”
Li Tingyu pushed him hard, trying to break free from his restraints.
Huo Beichen did not look like she was faking it. She was different from other women. She did not care about him, did not care if he had a woman by his side, did not get jealous, and did not like him.
Huo Beichen had never lacked women these past few years. This was a symbol of a man’s wealth, status, and power. There were many temptations.
Now, Li Tingyu had really caught his attention. This was probably the root of a man’s weakness. He could not get it, and he would always be thinking about it.
Huo Beichen reached out and pulled her over from the front passenger seat. He let her sit in his arms. “What, are you a nun now? Have you lost all your desires?”
Li Tingyu was the daughter of a real socialite. Other than her first love, Nangong Yu, she had no other romantic experience. Now that Huo Beichen had said this, her fair skin immediately turned red from the humiliation, “I’m not you. You’re almost 50 years old and you’re still fooling around outside. Huo Beichen, we’re husband and wife. I advise you to take good care of your body and be careful of baldness!”
Huo Beichen looked at himself through the rearview mirror. He was fine. One word was “Handsome.”.
He grabbed her slender wrist tightly and did not let her break free. Huo Beichen curled his thin lips in a devilish manner. “If you move again, do you believe that I’ll immediately bankrupt the Li Corporation?”
“You!”
Li Tingyu’s pupils constricted, and she quickly stopped moving. However, she glared at him angrily. What a despicable person!
Huo Beichen’s slender fingers came to the button of her dress, “Your brother Li Rui really doesn’t have much talent in business. Even after relying on the Huo Corporation all these years, he hasn’t done much. Mrs. Huo, you’d better listen to me obediently. Otherwise, if the Li Corporation goes bankrupt and your mother finds out about this, do you think she will faint on the spot?”
Li Tingyu was the apple of the eye of the Li family. This marriage between a rich and powerful family had cost too much, and no one could accept failure. Otherwise, all these efforts would be meaningless.
“Mrs. Huo, to tell you the truth, I won’t sign the divorce papers. You’ve been here for so many years, don’t be too hard on yourself. Otherwise, you’ll have to bear the consequences, okay?”
He actually didn’t want a divorce!
Li Tingyu had already handed him the divorce papers, but he didn’t do anything. It turned out that he didn’t want a divorce.
Li Tingyu quickly held his big hand down. “Why? Don’t you have a lot of women outside? You can let them be your Mrs. Huo.”
“During your time as Mrs. Huo, other than the fact that your husband and wife’s lives were not as good as expected, you were barely qualified. It takes time to train a qualified Mrs. Huo. I don’t want to waste time on this. So, Li Tingyu, our lives will remain the same.”
Huo Beichen was not discussing, but he was informing her.
Li Tingyu had already made up her mind to get a divorce, but reality had dealt her a harsh blow. She had too many things that she could not let go of and could not live a willful life.
At this time, a button was skillfully pulled open at his fingertips. Li Tingyu’s face turned pale and she quickly stopped him. “Let go of me, don’t be like this.”
Huo Beichen narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile, “You’re my Mrs. Huo. I can do whatever I want. Or is it that you and Nangong Yu, your old lover, have been rekindled?”
Did he know that Nangong Yu was back?
That made sense. He had always sent people to keep an eye on her whereabouts, so it was not surprising that he knew that Nangong Yu was back.
“Nangong Yu brought you to his villa. What did you do? Did you hug each other uncontrollably? Did He kiss you? did he lift your clothes…”
“Enough, Huo Beichen. You’re a stallion yourself. Don’t think others are as dirty as you are!”Li Tingyu cursed through gritted teeth.
Huo Beichen’s breathing became heavy, and his handsome eyes were filled with coldness. “Ha, you dare to scold me, Huh? You Dare to talk back to me because of that old lover of Nangong Yu’s?”
—— even more.
