"I wasn't laughing, hehe..." Li Man couldn't restrain the corners of her mouth from curling up.
Huo Jian Sheng rolled his eyes at her. "Then why are you still laughing?"
"Um, um... I'm not laughing anymore." Li Man said with her mouth, but her mouth stretched wide, almost bursting into laughter.
"You seem quite happy laughing!"
Suddenly, a discordant voice sounded.
Upon hearing the voice, the smile on Li Man's face instantly disappeared. She looked up at the source of the voice and saw Huang De Han slowly approaching with a woman in his arms.
"Your ex-husband?"
Huo Jian Sheng had a brief encounter with Huang De Han before when Huang De Han wanted to harm Li Man, and Huo Jian Sheng intervened.
He despised men who hit women the most.
"What ex-husband? We haven't divorced yet. She's still my wife." Huang De Han walked to the table and pointed at Li Man.
Li Man stared coldly at Huang De Han, her gaze as sharp as ice blades, as if she wanted to tear him apart.
Huang De Han disregarded the hatred in Li Man's eyes and continued to provoke, "What? Sneaking around behind my back, flirting with other men? You really are despicable."
A surge of anger rushed from the soles of Li Man's feet to her head. She stood up abruptly, about to teach Huang De Han a lesson, but then she heard a loud slap.
"Watch your mouth!" Huo Jian Sheng elegantly pulled out a tissue and carefully wiped his palm, as if he had touched something dirty.
Huang De Han covered his face, staring at Huo Jian Sheng in disbelief. His face turned bright red. He didn't expect Huo Jian Sheng to defend Li Man. He wanted to embarrass Li Man, but ended up embarrassing himself.
He knew Huo Jian Sheng, so he didn't dare to touch him.
"Apologize!" Huo Jian Sheng said coldly.
Huang De Han's eyes almost popped out. He had been slapped, and now he was being asked to apologize?
Was there no justice left? Was there no law left?
Although he was unwilling, Huang De Han gritted his teeth and reluctantly apologized, "I'm sorry!"
"Not to me, but to her." Huo Jian Sheng looked at Li Man and said.
Huang De Han's face turned so red it was about to bleed. He looked at Li Man and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "I'm sorry."
"Huang De Han, don't be too happy. I won't let you off the hook. I'll return the harm you've done to me tenfold!" Li Man said bitterly.
Huang De Han glared at Li Man fiercely, turned around, and even ignored the woman next to him.
The woman also gave Li Man a glare, then smiled at Huo Jian Sheng and gracefully walked away.
Watching the woman sway her waist like a snake, Li Man shook her head in disgust and said, "What kind of people are they? They are truly birds of a feather."
After sitting down, Li Man gratefully said to Huo Jian Sheng, "Thank you for just now. You've helped me twice already."
"Only twice?" Huo Jian Sheng glanced at Li Man, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
"Oh, oh, three times," Li Man quickly corrected herself.
Huo Jian Sheng nodded in satisfaction, "As long as you remember."
At that moment, the dishes arrived, and Huo Jian Sheng picked up his chopsticks. "Let's eat, I'm hungry."
Li Man quickly grabbed her chopsticks. "Okay, let's eat, let's eat."
As they immersed themselves in their meal, Huo Jian Sheng suddenly asked, "Why haven't you divorced him yet? Can't bear to?"
Upon hearing this, Li Man almost choked on the food she was about to swallow. She hastily swallowed it down but accidentally choked on it because of her rapid movements, coughing incessantly.
Seeing her struggle, Huo Jian Sheng quickly poured her a cup of tea and commented disdainfully, "You even choke while eating. You're so clumsy."
(Note: In the translation, I have used the pinyin romanization system for the names "Li Man" and "Huo Jian Sheng" to make them more accessible to English readers.)
