“That’s right. We’re only married but we’re already separated, your family will definitely suspect…”

Huo Ru glanced at Yun Feng, who was nodding, and finally realized the crux of the problem.

“But… Your dog is so big. I’m afraid… I’ll have a nervous breakdown if I stay at your house every day!”

The man comforted her. “It’s okay, I just forgot to tell you today. I’ll send it away.”

“You didn’t kill or throw it away or anything, did you?” Huo Ru asked worriedly. She was indeed afraid of dogs, but it would be entirely her fault if she displaced this not-so-cute dog.

“No, don’t worry.”

Only then did Huo Ru relax. “Alright, I’ll stay with you then. Don’t worry, I’m a very professional person. I definitely won’t let your family find out.”

It was not a bad place to live. When Third Master Yun really wanted to marry her and found this place, he would find that she was not only married but also living with her husband. He would definitely not think that this was a way for her to escape marriage and would not make things difficult for her anymore.

“Then… how much rent do I pay you?” Huo Ru asked tentatively.

“You’re my wife, not a roommate or a nanny. We’re legally married.” Yun Feng emphasized the words husband and wife.

Only then did Huo Ru realize that an unknown feeling was surging in her heart.

At that moment, the man sitting across from her was not a distant symbol, not an unreachable photo. He was a real person, one of the few connections she had to the world.

Looking at his serious face, Huo Ru suddenly felt her heart race. He didn’t say anything romantic, but he was just emphasizing the truth…

“Then where will I sleep from now on?”

“Where do you want to sleep?” Yun Feng asked.

She stared at the man’s curled eyelashes. The man’s full chest and strong arms when she hugged him suddenly appeared in her mind. Not only was her face burning red, even the tips of her ears were red.

“Ahhh—I’m so annoyed. What’s wrong with me?! Can’t I think properly in my head? He’s talking to me very sternly. In the end, my head is filled with indecent trash.”

“Is the air conditioner too hot?” The man’s dark eyes stared at her and suddenly asked.

Huo Ru didn’t know why he suddenly said such a thing. She subconsciously shook her head. “No, I think it’s okay.”

“Oh? Really? Then why is your face so red?” The man smiled mischievously, clearly teasing her.

“I just felt it carefully, the temperature of the air conditioner is indeed too high. It’s very hot,” Huo Ru said as she fanned her face with her hand, trying to lower the temperature.

Yun Feng watched her performance indulgently and thoughtfully changed the topic. “This is my room, but I saw that you slept very well yesterday…”

“I’ll sleep in the guest room!” Huo Ru interrupted him before he could finish. However, she was afraid of hurting him, so she added, “It’s not because of you. Don’t think too much, I can only sleep alone…”

If it weren’t for the fact that he had slept with her in his arms last night, Yun Feng would have thought that the serious-looking Huo Ru was too serious. However, he didn’t refute her. Instead, he said, “Okay, you can stay anywhere you want. I’ll get Auntie Li to clean up the guest room later.”

It wouldn’t be long before she returned to this house.

There was a knock on the door, interrupting the slightly awkward two.

“Mr. Yun, Miss Huo, lunch is ready. Come out and eat. Miss Huo, I’ve already closed the bag. It won’t come out, don’t worry.”

Yun Feng was the first to stand up. “Let’s go eat. You should be hungry too.”

It would have been better if he hadn’t mentioned it, but once he did, Huo Ru really felt her stomach rumble.

The two of them arrived at the dining table side by side, there were three dishes and a soup on the table. They looked beautiful and the smell was tempting. Li Ma had eaten early and brought them bowls and chopsticks. After scooping the rice, she was about to leave, but Yun Feng stopped her.

“Li Ma, please wait a moment.”

“What can I do for you, Mr. Yun?”

The man picked up some food for Huo Ru, who was eating so much that her eyes couldn’t move. He looked at Auntie Li and said calmly, “This is my wife, she will live here from now on. Please take care of her.”
