Chapter 300: Huo’s Conscience
Translator: 549690339
Su Wanwan silently counted in her heart. It seemed like almost a week had passed since she last went home. She even spent the whole weekend at school.
Well, that’s indeed a bit indescribable.
Forget it.
She silently tossed back the lunchbox, tidied up, then slung her handbag over her shoulder, and heaved up her “English Level Four Dictionary”, “December 2017 English Four Level Actual Test”, “36 Sets of English Four Level Cloze Test Enhancement”…
So, when Huo Jingshen saw Su Wanwan hoisting such a heap of learning materials into the car, his handsome face instantly turned dark.
Was she planning to cart so many study materials just to spend the night at home?
Obviously, studying was another excuse for her!
Before he could protest, suddenly, his mobile phone rang.
Huo Jingshen drove off and answered the call.
“Brother, so, are we going to Guidi tonight?” NangongCi’s insincere voice came on.
Huo Jingshen, in a serious tone, replied, “Not going.”
“What happened again? Haven’t we been drinking together at night these couple of days? I’m telling you, our second brother has arranged a program tonight. Supposedly, it’s a maiden’s first time, haha…”
“You bunch of single dogs can drink on your own.” Huo Jingshen cut in, the ridicule clear in his tone.
“Holy crap.”
Nangong Ci was clearly upset, “Brother, you can’t keep doing this. When you quarrel with sister-in-law, you come to us. And once you made up with her, you don’t even recognize us. Plus, you insult us by calling us single dogs? You’re just using us as a stepping stone. Do you even have a conscience? Brother, you can’t keep doing this…”
Before he finished speaking, the call was abruptly disconnected.

Inside the Guidi Club.
Nangong Ci, the first one to arrive at the private room, put down his phone, his handsome face contorting in disbelief.
“What happened?”
Chu Jingyi looked at him, her slender phoenix eyes filled with allure.
“It seems that sister-in-law is returning home, so our big brother won’t be coming over tonight.” Ming Jing said, lifting his glass, “Jingyi, let’s drink first.”
Chu Jingyi smiled, lifting her wine glass to clink with his, “How long have they been married?”
Ming Jing pondered, “They got their certificate in August.”
Chu Jingyi took a sip of her red wine, “Jingshen seems to have returned in May, right?”
“Yes,” Nangong Ci chimed in with a cunning grin, “That’s why we say our big brother knows the ropes. He was love at first sight with sister-in-law. He was swift and accurate, getting her hooked in just a few days.”
Love at first sight, huh?
Hehe.
A faint sneer flashed in Chu Jingyi’s eyes.

Su Wanwan had thought that they’d directly return home. Who would’ve thought that Huo Jingshen would drive her to a large supermarket nearby?
After getting out of the car, hand in hand, they walked to the entrance just like an ordinary young couple.
Huo Jingshen stretched out his long arm to bring a shopping cart over. He then looked at Su Wanwan, “Do you want to sit?”
“What?” Su Wanwan was taken aback for a moment.
Not until Huo Jingshen gestured did she glance sideways.
There was a young couple with their chubby child shopping in the supermarket. The young dad placed the child in the trolley, and the little one, with his newly grown teeth, gaped in delight, waving his arms and legs around.
Su Wanwan:
Holy crap!
“Darling, don’t you want to sit?” Huo Jingshen kept on asking, “So you wouldn’t get lost in there, and your hubby wouldn’t have to search for you.”
Su Wanwan gave him an intense glare and gritted her teeth, “I’m not a kid!”
After saying that, she strode into the supermarket.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, and followed her with the cart.
Upon entering the crowded supermarket, Huo Jingshen immediately said, “Stick close and don’t get lost.”
Su Wanwan again: “…”
Had enough of this already!
“What would you like for dinner?” Huo Jingshen asked again.
As if she were truly a child.
Su Wanwan replied, “I want to eat braised pork.”
“Alright. What else?” Huo Jingshen looked at his wife, the underlying meanings in his deep voice, “Darling, you’ve been studying hard recently. Tonight, I want to reward you properly.”
Su Wanwan’s eyes gleamed. After blinking twice, she immediately recited several more dishes.
All of which were Huo Jingshen’s specialties.
After all, her husband’s cooking skills were simply unparalleled. After staying at school for so long, what she missed most was his… cooking!
Huo Jingshen nodded and began to gather ingredients from the shelves.
The cart was quickly filled up, and the two of them rode the escalator to the second floor.
Su Wanwan still followed him like a shadow, until she saw him perusing the health and beauty section, seriously selecting contraceptives…
Her eyes widened, her face blushed and Su Wanwan turned to run.
Damn it!
Couldn’t they buy these intimate items online?
Then again, an old-fashioned man probably doesn’t shop online.
She had to run, so no one would realize she was his wife…
However, unfortunately, Su Wanwan ran too fast and ran into a shopping cart, knocking things onto the floor.
She quickly went to steady the cart, ignoring the pain in her leg, apologizing, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s alright.” The woman pushing the cart was in her twenties with long hair, fair skin, and a calm demeanor. “It was my fault for not looking, you’re not hurt, are you?”
The woman’s soft voice reminded Su Wanwan of Fu Ziyang’s stepmother, Xiu Xin.
She quickly said, “No, no, it was my fault for not watching where I was going.”
After finishing her apology, she bent over to pick up the items, only to find…
Embarrassing! The items she knocked over were the same type of contraceptives that Huo Jingshen had just bought.
This…
Su Wanwan was torn.
Should she pick it up?
Or should she not?
At this moment, a fair hand extended and picked up the fallen items before gracefully placing them into the cart.
All while maintaining a gentle smile.
Su Wanwan’s face turned even redder.
The woman was so open about it, making her seem prudish in comparison.
Just then, a vaguely familiar male voice came from behind her, “Are you done?”
“Done.” The woman pushing the cart turned around.
Su Wanwan subconsciously looked over and she saw the man standing at the end of the aisle… It was Di Chenghe.
The guest lecturer.
Di Chenghe saw her too. Despite the two not being very close, he greeted her with a nod and even approached her, “What a coincidence, isn’t it?”
Su Wanwan could only greet back, “Hello, teacher.”
“Chenghe, so this girl is your student.” The woman complimented immediately, “The female students nowadays are so pretty.”
“Let’s go once you’ve finished selecting.” Di Chenghe concluded, and said to Su Wanwan, “It’s getting late. Be careful when you’re out alone.”
Su Wanwan felt a bit awkward. She returned a smile at each of them, waved a small farewell and said, “Goodbye, teacher.”
“Goodbye.”
Watching the well-matched pair disappearing into the distance, Su Wanwan couldn’t help but feel inspired. Truly outstanding people always find each other.
So she must work hard too.
She needs to study diligently and strive to become a better person.
In the future, she must rely on her abilities to earn a lot of money, rather than relying on her husband like now…
“Everyone has already left, yet you are still giggling like a fool.”
A gloomy, deep voice suddenly rang by her ear.
Su Wanwan jumped in fright.
Turning around, a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes were glaring at him, “You’re the only fool here, and so is your whole family!”
However, Huo Jingshen squinted his dark eyes, looking off to the distance, he resembled a husband catching his cheating wife, and even his tone was full of questioning, “Who’s that man?”
“My teacher.”
“Teacher?” Huo Jingshen snorted scornfully, “Such a disrespectful teacher.”
Su Wanwan was puzzled, “What do you mean by that?”
Huo Jingshen’s handsome face was serious as he categorically stated, “Is it appropriate for him to buy such items in front of a female student?”
Su Wanwan gritted her teeth, “And how is it appropriate for you to buy them in front of me? And you have the nerve to criticize others?”
“Well, I’m your husband, there’s a difference right?” Huo Jingshen spoke very confidently, “On top of that, you would also need these items.”
“What do you mean by me… you… you jerk!”
Su Wanwan’s face turned red, stuttering and unable to speak properly.
It was clearly for his use!
What a shameless man!
“Isn’t that so?” Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t you tell me before you like strawberry flavored ones?”
“Shut up!”
Su Wanwan was on the verge of losing his mind.
Why was she discussing condom flavors with him in a supermarket?
Huo Jingshen held her hand directly, pulling the flustered girl towards the counter, “Let’s go pay.”
