Chapter 667: Chapter 667

"I’m really afraid of your dad..."

Pu Sangzhi said with particular unease, "You’ve told me so much before. In my mind, your dad is that... ’domestic abuser.’ Normally, people like that are moody, and if I happen to upset him, won’t he lose his temper?"

Huo Feng burst into laughter all of a sudden, laughing so hard that he slapped his thigh. "You actually think he’s a domestic abuser! Oh my god~ I’m dying of laughter!"

If old Huo knew that Sangzhi mistook him for a domestic abuser, old Huo would go crazy!

Thinking about this misunderstanding in her dreams, Huo Feng found it very amusing!

But Pu Sangzhi didn’t understand what was funny, nor why he was laughing like that.

She even got a bit angry and slapped her hand down, "Stop laughing. The only reason I think this way is because of the stories you’ve told me about your dad. I’m really worried. If your dad gets a bad impression of me, he might lose his temper on the spot."

It took Huo Feng a while to stop laughing. Seeing Pu Sangzhi’s seriously worried face, he couldn’t help but laugh again, but he laughed as he comforted her, "It really is... I’m telling you the truth, it’s impossible! I guarantee it, I swear on the future generations of the Huo family, my dad will never lose his temper at you! Even if he beats me to death, he won’t say a harsh word to you! He’s that kind of person!"

"Really?" Pu Sangzhi asked cautiously.

After asking, she still felt particularly uneasy and added, "Then you have to promise me that if I do something wrong and make him angry, you have to tell me early on. It would be best if you could shield me from it." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚✦𝕟𝕖𝕥

"It really won’t happen!"

Huo Feng wrapped an arm around her shoulders, his broad palm squeezing her slender shoulder, "Rest assured, my dad has nothing bad to say about you! Really!"

Pu Sangzhi, seeing him guarantee this so earnestly over and over, felt slightly more at ease in her heart...

She took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and then cautiously asked again, "Is there anything I shouldn’t talk about in front of your dad?"

Huo Feng shook his head, answering very solemnly, "Nothing. He’ll be happy with anything you talk about with him."

Pu Sangzhi asked anxiously, "Are you sure I can be that casual?"

Huo Feng nodded decisively, "Positive!"

Pu Sangzhi then said, "That’s good. I’ll think about it... how I should greet them later... is it appropriate to call him Uncle?"

Huo Feng nodded, "If you call him Dad, he’d be even happier."

Pu Sangzhi slapped his arm, "Stop joking. Then I’ll call him Uncle."

Huo Feng rested his chin in one hand, looking at her with lively interest, her face full of tension.

At this moment, Huo Feng was incredibly eager to see the scene of her meeting his father!

This relationship has been stifled for three years, only now bursting forth...

It will surely be spectacular!

Huo Feng casually thought about it and felt it was really interesting!

He couldn’t wait to find out!

"Hey, does your dad like to talk about your grades?"

Next to him, Pu Sangzhi was still uneasily asking questions...

On the way there, Pu Sangzhi’s heart was both nervous and full of anticipation.

She was particularly worried that Huo Feng’s father wouldn’t like her...

Though it was said to be meeting the parents, in reality, it was only about meeting his father.

Because she had already met his mother earlier and wasn’t very afraid of her.

Now, Pu Sangzhi was only afraid of his father...

All because Huo Feng had previously left such a bad impression of his father in her mind!

A middle-aged man with a tendency for domestic violence, a volatile temper, incapable of communicating with children, and who also wore perfume...

All these negative traits combined formed the impression of a ’sophisticated domestic abuser’ in her heart.

Just like the male lead in that TV series from years ago, "Don’t Talk to Strangers"...

Although, Pu Sangzhi believed that his father loved Huo Feng.

Because if his father truly didn’t care about Huo Feng, he wouldn’t be so violently controlling over him.

Still, that’s a separate issue.

His father’s violent tendencies and unpredictable moods were what Pu Sangzhi was most worried about.

From Rui’an to Tangxia, the taxi drove for more than 20 minutes.

When they arrived outside the Huo family’s residential complex and got out of the car, Pu Sangzhi was still filled with apprehension...

She followed Huo Feng onto the elevator to his family’s floor.

Standing at his family’s door, Pu Sangzhi gripped Huo Feng’s hand, which was about to ring the doorbell, in a bout of nervousness, "Wait a second..."

Huo Feng listened to her and paused, his face full of amusement as he looked at her intently.

Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly...

Took a deep breath, then let it out again...

After two rounds, she finally nodded to Huo Feng, "Go ahead."

Huo Feng arched an eyebrow and pressed the doorbell with his index finger.

The doorbell chimed inside, followed by a clear echoing voice from within the house, "Coming."

It was Shen Yu’s voice.

Shen Yu, donning an apron, opened the door and immediately greeted them with a smile upon seeing them, "You’re here, come in quickly."

"Hello Auntie," Pu Sangzhi greeted with a nod.

"Long time no see, Sangzhi."

Shen Yu stepped aside to clear a path, taking out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet by the entryway and placing them before Pu Sangzhi, casually asking, "How do you feel about the college entrance exams this time? Are you confident about Tsinghua?"

As she was taking off her shoes, Pu Sangzhi replied, "I think I did okay, but I’m not sure if I’ll get accepted."

Shen Yu laughed and said, "Look at you, even with such good grades you’re not sure. Xiaofeng with his so-so results has been dreaming early, convinced he’ll get into Tsinghua."

Huo Feng couldn’t help but retort, "Mom, be serious, don’t always knock me. That was just a delusion right after the exams. These past days I’ve been questioning my life, afraid I won’t get in."

"Oh, now you’re scared, huh?"

Shen Yu hooked her lips in a smile and also said to Pu Sangzhi, "Sangzhi, go sit inside for a bit. I’ll fry a few more dishes."

"Thank you, Auntie. Do you need any help, Auntie?" Pu Sangzhi asked.

Shen Yu waved her hand dismissively, "No need, there are already two people in the kitchen. You just go play with Xiaofeng."

With that, Shen Yu turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng walked past the kitchen, aiming for the living room.

As they passed by the kitchen, the ever-curious Pu Sangzhi glanced into the kitchen and saw two figures.

One was Shen Yu; the other was Huo Feng’s father.

The back of Huo Feng’s father gave Pu Sangzhi a strong sense of familiarity!

She couldn’t recall at the moment.

Pu Sangzhi followed Huo Feng to the sofa in the living room and sat down, Huo Feng turned on the TV and passed her the remote, "You watch first. I’m going to get some fruit."

Pu Sangzhi took the remote but felt too embarrassed to change the channel, sitting on that sofa... feeling out of place.

At that moment, Huo Feng had already quietly and silently gone to the kitchen, purposefully approaching Huo Mingshan, "Dad, go and greet your distinguished student, will you?"

He couldn’t wait to see Pu Sangzhi’s expression when she saw his father!

Huo Mingshan, with a stern face, swiftly finished chopping the shredded potatoes, rinsed his hands, and took off his apron.

From an angle where Pu Sangzhi couldn’t see, Huo Mingshan adjusted his waistband, sprucing up his appearance before heading out of the kitchen towards the living room...

At that time, Pu Sangzhi had discovered a book titled "Time Management Method" on the coffee table in the living room. Being fond of reading, she had given up on the TV and started flipping through the book...

So engrossed in her reading, she was unaware of Huo Mingshan approaching her side.

"Sangzhi, is that book any good?"

Huo Mingshan asked casually, sitting down beside her.

"Yeah, it’s quite good," she replied offhand.

After replying, she abruptly looked up! She was extremely nervous as she looked at the man beside her!

But when she clearly saw the man beside her, Pu Sangzhi’s eyes widened even more, and she couldn’t help but exclaim, "Mr. Huo!"

Huo Mingshan responded with a chuckle.

Pu Sangzhi’s eyes were wide open, her mind not yet registering, "Mr. Huo, what are you doing here? Are you here visiting too?"

Huo Mingshan laughed.

Just then, Huo Feng came from the kitchen carrying a bowl of fruit, casually tossing an apple to Huo Mingshan, "Catch, old man!"

At that moment, Pu Sangzhi’s eyes widened even more, looking back and forth between Huo Feng and Huo Mingshan...

Suddenly, it was as if an atomic bomb exploded in her brain, causing her thought processes to seize!

Huo Feng shouted, and then burst into hearty laughter, "I told you my dad would like you! Even if he beats me to death, he would never say a bad word about you! Hahaha! Now you believe it, right?"

"You brat, what are you yelling for!"

Huo Mingshan scolded Huo Feng, "Go help your mom! I need to catch up with Sangzhi!"

Huo Feng, hands in his pockets, noncompliantly sat down on the sofa beside, "I won’t—I want to talk with Sangzhi, you go keep your wife company!"

Huo Mingshan’s temper flared in an instant, and he threw the apple in his hand at Huo Feng, "Will you go or not!"

Huo Feng caught it quickly, chomping a big bite, and then remarked to Pu Sangzhi, "See? Told you my dad is violent!"

At that moment, Pu Sangzhi was too shocked to utter a word...

She just sat there, eyes wide, looking at them in a daze...

Feeling like her view of the world... had collapsed!
