Chapter 451: Chapter 451

After hearing that girl’s confession to Huo Feng, Pu Sangzhi was indeed nervous.

Compared to Han Feiyi’s confession before, it was this girl’s confession that made Pu Sangzhi feel more threatened.

Because from this girl’s conversation with Huo Feng, Pu Sangzhi could feel that Huo Feng actually had a good relationship with this girl.

Unlike how Huo Feng treated this girl, not as heartlessly as he did with Han Feiyi...

Therefore, for the first time, Pu Sangzhi truly felt nervous about romance.

She thought about looking for Huo Feng.

To see him and see that girl, and incidentally to take Huo Feng away from there so he could drink less.

But when she agreed, Huo Feng surprisingly rejected her, "It’s nice of you to care. But late at night, there’s no need to trouble yourself. The blanket loves you so much, can you bear to leave it?"

"Getting up isn’t the issue for me. It’s that I’m worried you’ll drink more later."

Pu Sangzhi said anxiously, "Drink less. I saw the photo you posted, and your neck was all red. It kind of looked like an allergic reaction to alcohol. This isn’t good for your health..."

Huo Feng chuckled, "Worried about me?"

Pu Sangzhi admitted without objection, "Yes."

Then, Huo Feng suddenly lowered his voice, speaking softly, "Don’t worry, I’m not allergic to alcohol; I just flush when I drink too much. Also, I won’t drink anymore. If you’re really worried about me, I’ll come to your place after this and stay for the night, shall I?"

Pu Sangzhi thought for a bit, "But I sleep at 10 p.m." Official source ıs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩

Huo Feng narrowed his eyes, "You can’t stay up a bit later for me?"

Pu Sangzhi, "No. I’m sleepy."

"Alright then! Seems I can’t even compete with your biological clock! Now I understand my standing!"

Huo Feng exclaimed repeatedly, still in a mock devastated manner.

On the other end of the call, Pu Sangzhi laughed lightly, her tone playful, "Hey, stop messing around. Have you gone to find a waiter yet?"

Huo Feng looked down at Chen Chaonan, who was still sleeping on the ground, and replied, "Forgot..."

Pu Sangzhi reminded him, "Quickly find a waiter to take that girl back. Then, whether you come to my place or I come to find you, you decide! I’ll wait until 10 p.m. for your reply."

Huo Feng, "Alright, I’ll hang up now. I’ll deal with this tomboy’s corpse first."

Pu Sangzhi, "Okay. Don’t touch her."

Huo Feng laughed, "Don’t worry, I promise not to touch a single hair! I will keep myself pure for you, protecting this clean and pristine body for you to personally unpack, unlock the ninety-nine steps and battle the lower body affairs! Note, the ’body’ part of ’body’!"

Pu Sangzhi stuck out her tongue, "Gross! Bye!"

With that, Huo Feng finally ended the call with Pu Sangzhi.

Afterward, Huo Feng obediently found two strong waiters to carry Chen Chaonan, then led the way as they brought Chen Chaonan all the way back to the banquet hall.

Chen Chaonan suddenly becoming unconscious from drunkenness had terrified Chen Zeqing into a pale state, who hurried over to Chen Chaonan’s side, frantically calling his name.

"Ah, our Chaonan has never drunk alcohol since he was little, nor does he know how to drink. How could he drink today!" Chen Zeqing said, guilt-ridden and self-reproaching.

"She didn’t drink much. I saw her drink just one glass of wine, and her face started to turn red. Afterward, she just sat there spacing out for a long time. I thought she was going out to get some air, but who knew she’d faint outside..." said a middle-aged woman from the same table, explaining.

Because of Chen Chaonan’s appearance passed out in the banquet hall, the atmosphere there had taken a turn.

Unexpectedly, it was because of Chen Chaonan’s collapse that caused the banquet to end early!

Favored by misfortune, Huo Feng was overjoyed!

As the banquet dismissed, he messaged Pu Sangzhi on WeChat, saying, "It’s over here! I’ll come to your place right after I see the guests off. Wait for me half an hour more! Wait for me! Otherwise, I’ll be foolishly waiting outside your door all night!"

After seeing off all the guests, Huo Feng was ready to take a taxi to Pu Sangzhi’s place.

Just as he went to inform Shen Yu, Huo Mingshan happened to overhear and rejected, "You’re not going anywhere. Come home with us!"

Huo Feng suddenly forgot that today he had already moved back to the old Huo family’s house.

Moving back to the old Huo family’s house meant he would lose his freedom.

The supervision by the old Huo, definitely stricter compared to the laissez-faire style by his grandfather...

As long as the old Huo was at home, he would manage Huo Feng!

"Hey, it’s still early, and I have plans with friends," Huo Feng tried to bargain with the old Huo, "I’ve been obedient all day, just give me a little space to breathe!"

The old Huo still strictly refused, "Nonsense! It’s too late at 10 p.m.! You’re not going anywhere. Stay here and wait for me while I go get the car!"

As Huo Mingshan turned to leave, Huo Feng quietly nudged Shen Yu’s shoulder and gave her a look, "Mom, I just..."

But before Shen Yu could grasp the situation, Huo Mingshan turned around and issued another warning, "Don’t go anywhere, you brat! Now that you’re home, you just need to follow the rules obediently. From now on, there’s a curfew—home by ten o’clock!"

Huo Feng frowned and yelled in frustration, "Is that really necessary? The school curfew is at 10:30! It’s stricter at home than at school!"

Huo Mingshan pointed a finger at him, "From now on, I’m going to be strict with you! At your grandfather’s, you’ve been too unruly! You’ll listen to me at home, and I’m not going to indulge you like your grandfather did!"

After Huo Mingshan delivered these harsh words, Shen Yu immediately pulled on Huo Feng’s sleeve and gently chided him, "Listen to your dad, it’s for your own good. It’s really late now, and you’ve had so much to drink; it’s not safe to go out now."

Huo Feng called out helplessly.

On the first day back home, he felt the combined force of his parents, a united front, making him foresee many days of solitary battles ahead!

Huo Feng thought his life might only change for the better the day he married Pu Sangzhi!

Because, in this household, Huo Feng could imagine that Pu Sangzhi’s words would definitely carry more weight than his!

He was the one with the lowest status in the house...

Shen Yu tugged on Huo Feng’s sleeve, "Sit down, wait for your dad to go get the car."

Huo Feng reluctantly sat down.

Then, Huo Mingshan took the car keys, turned around, and left to fetch the car from the hotel parking lot.

After Huo Mingshan left, Huo Feng tried to sweet-talk Shen Yu, "Mom, actually I wanted to go to Sangzhi’s house. I even told her not to sleep and to wait for me. Sangzhi isn’t some bad influence; why can’t I go?"

"She agreed to you visiting her this late at night?"

Shen Yu sensed something off and immediately leaned close to Huo Feng’s ear, whispering, "Don’t tell me—it’s already happened?"

As a seasoned veteran, Huo Feng immediately caught the implications in Shen Yu’s words, "Mom, what are you thinking! Am I that sort of person? Raised under the party’s anti-corruption education, I am clearly a gentleman!"

Shen Yu patted his shoulder, "Illiterate, that’s not what anti-corruption education means! Tell me the truth, have you taken her first time?"

Huo Feng’s face turned red at Shen Yu’s accusation, "Am I that sort of person? I am open and upright!"

Shen Yu smacked his shoulder again, "Stop talking nonsense and speak plainly!"

Huo Feng: "Nope! I didn’t lay a finger on her!"

Shen Yu exhaled in relief, "That’s good. Pursue if you will, but your behavior must be upright. Don’t do things high school students shouldn’t do!"

Huo Feng pounded his chest in assurance, "Don’t worry, I stake my honor on it! Can I go see her now? She’s waiting for me..."

Shen Yu instantly hooked Huo Feng’s arm, entangling him, and still denied him, "No, you can’t go. Your honor isn’t worth half a cent; a girl’s honor is valuable. If you keep running over to her house in the middle of the night, even if you do nothing, it still sounds bad for the girl’s reputation! It’s just not possible; for Pu Sangzhi’s sake as well, you cannot go."

She spoke so convincingly, how could he even argue!

In the end, Huo Feng was still stopped by his parents. He couldn’t go to see Sangzhi...

He was still very upset.

If only he had asked Sangzhi to come over...

If Sangzhi had come to find him, they surely couldn’t have objected!

On the way back, Huo Feng sent Pu Sangzhi a message, saying he couldn’t come over and was feeling terrible!

Pu Sangzhi didn’t mind at all, told him to go to bed early, and said goodnight.

Huo Feng felt chilled...

However, during the ride, Huo Mingshan couldn’t help but ask Huo Feng, "You brat, Chen Chaonan got so drunk today, did you get her drunk?"

Huo Feng immediately retorted, "Who got her drunk! I didn’t even bother with her! Stop slandering me!"

In the front seat, driving, Huo Mingshan huffed and said, "I saw you two sneaking off to talk outside. What’s up? When did you two get so close?"

Huo Feng: "Who sneaked off to talk with her! She came to me drunk and confessed her feelings, which totally startled me!"

Huo Mingshan was silent for a few seconds, "Planning to give up on Sangzhi?"
