Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

It was from Huo Beichen.

Li Tingyu pressed the button to answer the call. Huo Beichen’s mellow and pleasant voice was soon heard. “You’re up?”

“Didn’t President Huo Know?”

“Why? Are you angry? Mrs. Huo, your lawyer should have made you realize the reality just now. I’m not going to get a divorce. I can’t get a divorce either.”

“Is president Huo trying to show off his success to a loser?”Li Tingyu curled her lips.

“Mrs. Huo, have you forgotten what day it is today? It’s your birthday. Dress up. I’ve already asked my secretary to locate you. I’ll take you out for a candlelit dinner tonight.”

Li Tingyu pinched her phone. “Can I refuse?”

“No.”

Li Tingyu immediately hung up the phone.

..

At seven o’clock in the evening, the chauffeur sent Li Tingyu to the entrance of a western restaurant. Huo Beichen had just arrived when Li Tingyu entered.

The two of them sat opposite each other. Huo beichen elegantly cut the steak in his hand and looked up at Li Tingyu. Ever since she entered, Li Tingyu had not said a word. She did not even look up at him.

“Are you going to give me the silent treatment?”Huo Beichen curled his thin lips into a beautiful arc.

Li Tingyu finished chewing a small piece of steak and then said, “No, I just feel that President Huo and I don’t have much in common. We speak the same language. When I say that I’m tired, president Huo will continue to do as he pleases. He will never respect the will of others. To put it nicely, he is a domineering president. To put it bluntly, he is selfish and paranoid. I don’t want to communicate with President Huo at all, even if I don’t want to say a word.”

Huo Beichen had long since experienced the sharpness and stubbornness hidden in the bones of this beautiful and gentle woman, Li Tingyu. She also had a sharp tongue. He raised his dashing eyebrows but did not say a word.

Li Tingyu continued, “I want to go out for a walk.”

“Where are you going?”Huo Beichen asked.

“I don’t know. I’ve been in a bad mood recently and I want to go out for a walk. I might have gone quite far and come back after playing for a while.”

Huo Beichen looked at her, “So you must have gone abroad. Come back after playing for a while. How long is this period of time? Six Months, a year, three years, five years. Mrs. Huo, your plan is quite good. It’s fine if you don’t divorce, but stay far away and live separately.”

Li Tingyu put down the knife and fork in her hand and looked at Huo Beichen. “President Huo, you’re not allowed to do this or that. Are you trying to imprison me? Don’t tell me I don’t have any freedom in life?”

Huo Beichen took a sip of the red wine in his hand. “You spent my money and used my card when you went out. As the financier, I don’t even have the right to ask?”

Li Tingyu curled her lips. She did not feel that spending his money all these years was wrong or embarrassing, “President Huo, if we divorce, I can leave with nothing. But you won’t let me get a divorce. Of course, I can only spend your money righteously. In order to make president Huo work harder and earn more money, I have to spend more. I want you to always have a sense of security and a sense of being needed.”

Huo Beichen looked at her with a smile on his lips.

At that moment, a string of melodious ringtones rang. It was a call from Huo Beichen. It was from Mrs. Huo.

“Hello, Mom.”Huo Beichen did not avoid answering the call directly in front of Li Tingyu.

“Beichen, come back quickly. I haven’t been feeling well these past two days. I feel dizzy, weak, and my chest is tightness. I Can’t sleep at night. Come back quickly to see mom, okay?”

Huo beichen frowned. “I know, Mom. I’ll be back in a while.”

Huo beichen hung up the phone.

Li Tingyu wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin. Then, she picked up her bag and prepared to go back. “Go and visit your mom. I’ll go back by myself. Don’t worry.”

Li Tingyu turned around and left.

However, Huo Beichen reached out and grabbed her slender wrist. “I told you to leave? Come with me to visit my mom.”

“Me?”Li Tingyu raised her eyebrows, “Your mother’s phone call was really strange. As expected, there will definitely be a tender place waiting for you there. If you bring me there, everyone will definitely be disappointed. I’m not such a tactless person.”

Huo beichen hugged her slender waist and pulled her out. “Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just go if I tell you to.”

“I’m not going...”

“If you’re not going, then don’t go on a vacation.”

..

At the Huo residence.

Mrs. Huo was lying on the bed. When Huo Beichen pushed the door open and entered, she said in surprise, “Beichen, you’re finally back. You’re still so filial...”

Mrs. Huo had been trying to contact Huo Beichen for the past two days, but Huo Beichen did not even pick up his phone. Mrs. Huo did not want to alienate the mother and son because of Li Tingyu, so she used her discomfort to trick Huo Beichen into coming back, moreover, Zhou Qiong was here as well.

Mrs. Huo was still very happy when she saw Huo Beichen. However, when she saw Li Tingyu who came in with Huo Beichen, the smile on Mrs. Huo’s face quickly disappeared. “Beichen, why did you bring your wife back?”

Huo Beichen stepped forward and looked at Mrs. Huo’s rosy face. “Mom, aren’t you feeling unwell? I brought Tingyu back to see you.”

“HMPH, I have Qiong Qiong here to take care of me. I don’t need anyone.”

Zhou Qiong quickly looked at Huo Beichen lovingly. “Beichen, I’ll be here to take care of Auntie. You can rest assured.”

As soon as she said that, Li Tingyu let out a soft laugh.

Mrs. Huo’s expression changed. “Li Tingyu, what are you laughing at?”

Li Tingyu smiled generously. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Huo. Looking at the happy scene between the two of you, I’m happy for you. I couldn’t hold it in for a moment.”

Zhou Qiong’s expression froze when she heard that.

Mrs. Huo was furious. She could hear the sarcasm in Li Tingyu’s voice. She did not like Li Tingyu all these years, but Li Tingyu, her daughter-in-law, had never disobeyed her. On the contrary, she was very respectful to her daughter-in-law.

However, Li Tingyu did not seem to be so humble anymore.

As Huo Beichen was around, Mrs. Huo suppressed her anger and ordered coldly, “Let’s go.” “Li Tingyu, I want beichen and Qiong Qiong to chat with me for a while. I want to drink some millet congee. Go to the kitchen and cook it for me. Bring it here!”

Li Tingyu tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and said, “Mrs. Huo, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. I don’t know how to cook congee. I’m a little tired. Take your time. I’m going to rest.”

Li Tingyu glanced at the maid before turning around. “Oh right, bring a glass of milk to my room later. Then, prepare a rose milk bath for me. I want to take a comfortable hot bath.”

After saying that, Li Tingyu did not care about the expressions of these people. She turned around and walked away gracefully.
