CHAPTER 864: CHAPTER 846: HUO FENG IS COMPLETELY AT EASE! (PART 1)

Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng just had their first argument after getting together, and after making up, their feelings for each other seemed even more loving than before the fight.

Perhaps arguing is a mistaken way to push the other away, but making up afterward can also make one cherish the other more and care more about each other.

Later, the two of them decided to eat at a different restaurant. Regarding the topic of Ye Xi, they still wanted to have a good talk to clarify things once and for all.

After all, Huo Feng had been uneasy for a long time.

In the Summer Palace, there are many small and large cafés. Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi randomly picked one, ordered milk tea and sandwiches, and sat outside to chat as they ate.

Once entering the tourist area, few customers would buy food that costs several times more inside the area, so this café wasn’t particularly crowded.

Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi sat talking in a corner outside where there weren’t many tourists around; it was a good place to have a conversation.

Pu Sangzhi hadn’t replied to Ye Xi’s text yet, but her phone vibrated several more times.

She could sense that Ye Xi had sent her many messages, even making several calls. On the other end, Ye Xi seemed anxious to stop her from staying out with Huo Feng...

But for now, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t respond to Ye Xi.

She had to first deal with Huo Feng’s emotions before she could handle Ye Xi.

Otherwise, with Huo Feng’s explosive temper, he might really go looking for Ye Xi to have a huge argument or even a fight.

"Brother Ye Xi and I grew up together. In my eyes, he’s always been a gentle and kind neighbor brother. You know I’m very close to Xiaocao; since Xiaocao calls him brother, I naturally followed and had the same attitude towards him."

Holding a sandwich, Pu Sangzhi explained to Huo Feng in a nonchalant tone while eating, "When I was young and childish, I did like Brother Ye Xi. This might have been one of my mistakes. My parents told me that once when our families drank together, I got drunk and told Brother Ye Xi that I would marry him when I grew up. I didn’t remember this incident, but Xiaocao later told me about it. Perhaps because I was young and innocent, Brother Ye Xi took it seriously."

Beside her, Huo Feng took a big bite of his sandwich, grinding his molars, trying to hide his irritation as he listened to Pu Sangzhi talk about her past with "that dog" Ye Xi.

Huo Feng had known that Pu Sangzhi liked that "dog" Ye Xi before! And he also knew that "dog" Ye Xi liked Pu Sangzhi before!

They were childhood sweethearts, secretly in love with each other.

Huo Feng was a Cheng Yaojin who appeared midway, cutting off their feelings for each other and whisking Pu Sangzhi away.

This was clearly something to be proud of!

But for some reason, hearing Pu Sangzhi talk about these past events now made Huo Feng feel deeply unhappy!

Yet he had promised Pu Sangzhi to talk about this matter calmly, with no arguments, no losing temper, no verbal abuse, no saying hurtful things...

This was simply a draconian clause!

"When I was in the first year of middle school, Brother Ye Xi’s father divorced his mother, and Brother Ye Xi and Xiaocao chose to go with their mother. So, their family of three returned to Rui’an. After that, I rarely saw Brother Ye Xi. Even if we did meet, it was mostly online chatting. So, the affection I told you about was just a childish feeling from elementary school, which really doesn’t mean much."

Pu Sangzhi glanced at Huo Feng beside her and saw a cloud of darkness on his face. She quickly reached out to wipe the salad dressing off his mouth endearingly.

Such a small gesture did indeed improve Huo Feng’s mood considerably. He was even stunned for a second, with a hint of awkwardness in his expression.

Seeing his expression improve a lot, Pu Sangzhi continued, "During the three years of middle school, my family’s business started having ups and downs. My home life was unsettled, and I often saw my dad arguing with Brother Ye Xi’s dad. During those years, I didn’t have much girlish heartache. Then in the third year, my family went bankrupt, and I began a life of turmoil. As you know, my feelings for Brother Ye Xi ended in my first year. Even after he left, and even when I met you, I didn’t think about romantic relationships at all. As for you..."

Pu Sangzhi gently caressed Huo Feng’s face, her thumb brushing his cheek, gazing sincerely at him, "If it weren’t for you constantly nagging in my ear every day about wanting a relationship, I would never have entertained such thoughts in my life. Your presence was different, and you were assertive, injecting the idea of romance into my mind. Otherwise, I might have gone through university without thinking about finding a boyfriend, focusing only on my studies to achieve something significant."

After she finished this segment, Huo Feng was truly comforted.

All the previous discomfort was instantly healed by this final remark!

Huo Feng had to admit that her sweet words were top-level! Every word was striking his heart!

Especially at this moment, as he gazed directly into her eyes, watching her sparkling black pupils, Huo Feng felt like he was about to fall into a black hole.

Those eyes were absolutely captivating, making it impossible to resist!

"As for Brother Ye Xi’s feelings for me..."

Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then said, "He never told me about it, and I suppose he wanted to keep it hidden. You have to understand that if some things go unspoken, it’s best not to expose them. I’ll continue to pretend to be oblivious in front of Brother Ye Xi. If you want me to sever ties with him, that might be impossible. He signed a 10-year contract for my dad’s business; he is a benefactor to our family. However, I can promise you that I will reduce contact with him in the future. I won’t actively seek him out and will try to avoid meeting him. Is this acceptable to you?"

Pu Sangzhi hoped Huo Feng could be at ease.

She had experienced jealousy and knew how unpleasant it could be, making one restless and unable to sleep peacefully.

Just last night, she hadn’t slept well, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of him and You Xinran’s short film.

Putting herself in his shoes, while receiving so much security from Huo Feng, Pu Sangzhi also needed to reciprocate by giving him a sense of security.

Completely cutting ties with Ye Xi wasn’t something she could do.

She could only promise to have less contact and fewer interactions, and until Ye Xi got a girlfriend, she would avoid much interaction with him.

She didn’t like for her and Ye Xi’s feelings to change.

Moreover, knowing about this matter, Pu Sangzhi wasn’t sure how to naturally face Ye Xi anymore.

She thought it best to let time dilute everything.

That would be for the best...

"I can somewhat accept it..."

Huo Feng pouted, seemingly reluctantly agreeing.

However, he was quite content inside.

Pu Sangzi’s sincere words were enough to make Huo Feng ecstatic.

Trust her, trust her!

At that moment, Huo Feng’s mind was filled with these thoughts.

He decided not to dwell on it anymore!

"Then let’s agree not to argue because of this issue again."

Pu Sangzhi raised a finger and pointed at Huo Feng, righteously saying, "I don’t want to fight with you anymore, and don’t you get angry at me again. When you’re angry, your face is so fierce; it even scares me."

"You’re afraid of me?"

Huo Feng quickly freed a hand to clasp her small hand, "How are you afraid of me? Am I not nice to you, getting afraid when I’m just a bit harsh?"

"You honestly look terrifying when you’re angry."

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but frown, "Have you ever looked in the mirror making an angry face? Your whole face turns dark when you’re mad. Plus, you’re tall and strong; just now, I was even worried you’d flip the table."

Pu Sangzhi suddenly thought of something, her eyes widening immediately, "You won’t resort to domestic violence in the future, will you? Would you hit a woman? Let me tell you, I can’t tolerate domestic violence at all. It’s a serious taboo and absolutely forbidden!"

Huo Feng was amused by Pu Sangzhi’s baseless worries and, slightly helpless, said, "Why would I resort to domestic violence? Do I look like someone who’d do that? Besides, my wife is you; have I ever laid a hand on you? Since knowing you, how many times have I really been harsh? Less than five times!"

Pu Sangzhi still cautiously said, "Absolutely no domestic violence!"

Without thinking, Huo Feng promised, "Rest assured, even once and I’ll die!"
