Chapter 1797 - It Won’t Work

Ye Xun was too bored, so he started playing games. He recalled the time when he used to play with Huo Sanyan, a time that he missed dearly.

Now, he was left alone.

Huo Sanyan continued to work on her computer until it was night time.

She turned her computer off and thought about going home only to find that she was already home.

She turned and saw Ye Xun lying on the bed, wondering about his life and realized why she had stayed at home.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I totally forgot about you! Are you feeling any better?" Huo Sanyan asked as she sat down by Ye Xun's bed.

"Yanyan… Which is more important? Me or work?" Ye Xun asked as he looked at her, wondering when their roles had switched.

"You're…Why are you even asking that?" Huo Sanyan laughed wryly.

"Because I realized you always forget about me when you're working…"

"I'm sorry!" Huo Sanayn apologized wholeheartedly."But still, taking care of a whole enterprise is not easy… Didn't you say you'd support me when I decided to start my own company? Are you regretting your decision now?"

"No… It's just that…"

"I get it. Don't overthink it. What do you want for dinner? I'll go make something for you."

"Don't even think about going into the kitchen!" Ye Xun stopped Huo Sanyan, knowing fully how bad a cook she was. "We can just ask the servants to make something for us."

"Oh, come on! I'm still your girlfriend, have some faith in me. I'll go make some congee for you."

Huo Sanyan believed that since Ye Xun just got better, he shouldn't eat any oily foods.

After Huo Sanyan had left, Ye Xun quickly called Jing Xi asking for help.

"What else can you do?" Jing Xi said on the other side of the phone. "Bring out your manliness and conquer her!"

Even Jing Xi was starting to worry about Ye Xun and Huo Sanyan's future.

"But it's not working!"

Whenever Ye Xun tried to do that, Huo Sanyan would complain that he was too forceful.

"Then, the only thing you can do is to look for something online. How about asking on Reddit?" Jing Xi suggested.

Ye Xun took Jing Xi's advice and posted a question online.

And he got a lot of answers a few seconds later.

One particular answer mentioned something about tying the man's left leg and woman's right leg with a red string while sleeping. It was believed to be able to tie the woman's future to the man.

Ye Xun never trusted stuff like this. But he was too desperate and was willing to give it a try.

Huo Sanyan finally finished cooking the congee and brought it up to Ye Xun.

But the moment she entered the room, Ye Xun could smell something burning.

"What happened? Why does the congee smell like this?"
