The sound of the system prompt surprised Lin Yuan. He looked at Huo Chen's pale, handsome face, and gloomy eyes on the screen and tilted his head doubtfully.
Why did the blackening value suddenly drop?
Lin Yuan couldn't understand what was going on with Huo Chen. Although he should be happy that the blackening value declined, he didn't have any time to be happy. The food had been sent to Huo Chen's mouth, but he still didn't want to eat it. Why was it so difficult to feed the mission target?
"Huo Chen, can you please eat a little? I feel uncomfortable when you don't eat."
Huo Chen doesn't eat = mission target's health wasn't guaranteed = possible failure of the mission = bad performance evaluation
Lin Yuan suddenly wanted to cry and lowered his head slightly and rubbed his eyes sadly.
Huo Chen thought that Lin Yuan was anxious to the point of crying, and unconsciously clenched his fingers. His body tensed and something rippled in his dark eyes, fluctuating little by little.
"...Got it, I'll eat."
Lin Yuan immediately looked up at him: "Really? Then I'll watch you eat. You open the dishes first."
Huo Chen got up from the office chair, walked to the coffee table, opened the lunchbox, and took out the food layer by layer. Fresh, sweet corn and shrimp, crisp and smooth lettuce and meat slices, tender and delicious steamed sea bass, and a bowl of light vegetable soup.
The amount wasn't a lot. Huo Chen sat down and picked up the chopsticks. He heard Lin Yuan's excited voice, clearly transmitted from the phone.
"Husband~ Try the corn and shrimp first, it's sweet and the shrimp are very chewy. Eat this one first."
Lin Yuan knew that Huo Chen eating by himself was like he was just punching in to do work. Eat a bit of rice, then symbolically pick up a few dishes and that was it. So he had to watch him.
Huo Chen scooped a spoonful of corn and shrimp into his bowl. As soon as he finished eating, Lin Yuan impatiently said: "Also try the lettuce and meat slices. The lettuce is very crispy, and the meat slices are tender."
Huo Chen didn't say anything, but he followed his words and picked some up into his bowl and slowly ate it.
Lin Yuan stared at him until he finished, and then said: "And the steamed bass, Husband~ try the steamed bass, it's as tender as the tofu, really tasty~"
Huo Chen stretched out his chopsticks to the steamed bass.
In this way, Lin Yuan talked and Huo Chen picked up food and ate according to his words. He even managed to finish most of it.
Lin Yuan was very happy to see Huo Chen listening so well that his round eyes narrowed when he smiled. He waited until Huo Chen put away the lunchbox and couldn't help but poke Huo Chen's face on the screen. After poking, he was a little embarrassed, and shyly lowered his eyes and whispered: "Huo Chen, you're so good~"
Hearing the small voice, Huo Chen couldn't help but look at Lin Yuan. He saw that the young man's eyes drooped slightly, and he seemed to be even more well-behaved and soft, the kind that gave rise to willful thoughts.
Huo Chen paused undetectably, and suddenly felt an indescribably irritability and even violence, as if there was a dark wildfire burning.
He wanted to vent, but couldn't find a suitable way. He didn't even know how to vent and release this feeling. He could only restrain himself, grit his teeth and endure. He imprisoned the beast that was violently hitting the cage in his heart in a strong iron prison again.
Today Huo Chen returned to the villa a little early, it wasn't even seven o'clock.
After dinner, Lin Yuan thought about something and asked Huo Chen: "Husband, should I go back to the Lin house tomorrow?"
Returning home after three days was the custom, and the time was tomorrow.
Lin Yuan didn't actually want to go. He came to this world for Huo Chen, and his attention naturally only revolved around Huo Chen. If the original owner's family cared about him, then he wouldn't let his family members be sad.
But the people in the Lin family only treated the original owner as a tool to be used, so there was no need.
Before Huo Chen got married, he naturally sent people to investigate Lin Yuan's situation and was clear about his place in the Lin family. Hearing him say so, he frowned slightly and said: "No need. Since you've already married me and live in my place, stay here. As I've said, as long as you are obedient, you can have whatever you want."
Lin Yuan almost forgot about the night of the wedding two days ago. Huo Chen did indeed say this. He immediately straightened like a needle and raised his hand; "Then can I eat three meals a day with you? You said I could have whatever, I want to do this."
Huo Chen was a little surprised, but also felt like it was expected. His deep sight fell on the young man's face.
Reflecting the light, Lin Yuan's face was milky white and handsome. When he smiled, the dimples on his cheeks deepened, and his slender and lush eyelashes fell like a shadow, but they couldn't hide the brightness and glow at the bottom of his eyes. The lines of his jaw were not defined, showing a soft gentleness.
Huo Chen hesitated for a moment and then stretched out his hand over his soft black hair. His snow white, slender fingers fell on his hair and slowly traveled down to grab the back of Lin Yuan's neck and suddenly pulled him closer.
Unknown if intentional or not, at this time, Huo Chen and Lin Yuan were nose to nose, and their breaths blended.
"You just want this?"
Huo Chen's eyes flashed over Lin Yuan's red lips, the color was vibrant just like that rose that day, soft and aromatic. He unnaturally moved his sight away and said with a hoarse voice: "Is this all you want? Money, cars, houses, I can give them all to you."
Lin Yuan thought about it and raised his index finger: "Then can you add another one? I want money. Just give me 2,000 yuan of pocket money per month."
Living in Huo Chen's villa, all three meals were prepared by the chef and when he went outside he had a private driver, so he basically didn't need to spend any money. However, before, some of his former hosts secretly hid private money after marriage and he felt like he should learn from this. If Huo Chen gave him pocket money, then he would save it as his private money.
Rich and powerful CEO Huo never expected his own marriage partner only wanted 2,000 yuan for pocket money, and his expression was subtle: "I'll give you two million every month in the future."
When Lin Yuan heard the number two million, he belatedly counted the number of zeros after the two and immediately shook his head: "I don't need that much, 2000 is enough."
Huo Chen was very straightforward when giving money and said displeased: "Two million a month or zero. You choose."
Lin Yuan made a sound of surprise. He thought of some of his past hosts who didn't even get a dime of private money and unexpectedly he was the same: "Then I don't want it."
His voice was muffled as if a little unhappy.
Huo Chen was stunned for a while, he looked at Lin Yuan who was like a dejected little puppy, making people couldn't help but want to rub his head.
"Got it, I'll give you 2000 a month. But giving it month by month is too troublesome, I'll give you 10 million and won't give you pocket money in the future."
Lin Yuan heard that he wanted to give himself ten million, and his first reaction was still to count the number of zeros. After calculating, he felt strange: "Ten million is almost my pocket money for 417 years. It's impossible for humans to reach this life expectancy right now. Huo Chen, you're giving too much."
Huo Chen slightly squeezed his lips, and there was a sense of refinement in his sharpness. Although there was no extra expression on his face, his usual gloomy and deep eyes looked a little gray, as if a layer of dark color had faded.
"I'm giving too much?" Huo Chen's voice was low.
Lin Yuan nodded: "En, too much."
Huo Chen quietly looked at Lin Yuan and his eyes narrowed. There seemed to be something hidden in his eyes that couldn't see the light, and he hissed like a beast hiding in the dark: "Then just extend it. From now on, for the next 417 years, our marriage will always be valid. The law acknowledges it. You and I also acknowledge it."
Lin Yuan was stunned. As soon as he wanted to refuse, he heard a familiar sound.
[Di! Congrats host, the villain's blackening value decreased to 60%.]
Suddenly dropping by 10%, how could Lin Yuan, an employee of the Time and Space Administration, dare say anything?
He didn't dare.
