Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Shanchu pursed her lip slightly and moved her slender and beautiful fingers as she fiddled with the bow tie on his uniform.
“What is more important than me?”
Her nonchalant and soft voice was like a kitten’s paw scratching Huo Xunzhou’s heart, making him a little unbearable.
Huo Xunzhou’s Adam’s apple bobbed and his gaze turned deep.
“Stop messing with me and behave.”
His lowered voice was filled with restraint.
“Then you can leave.” Lin Shanchu straightened his uniform bow tie that she had messed up. She dragged her voice and had a reluctant expression.
Huo Xunzhou curled his lip helplessly.
As if he had given up on himself, he loosened his bow tie and held her waist before taking two steps forward. Then, he pressed her against the door and kissed her hard.
He was the one who demanded too much of her.
Lin Shanchu had never been an obedient lady. She would only act obediently when she angered him or when she felt that she had done something wrong. She also had some ulterior motives in her mind.
Sometimes he would willingly take the bait knowing that she was up to no good.
When the kiss ended, both of them were panting.
Huo Xunzhou extended his hand, rubbing gently against the corner of her lips with his warm fingers as he whispered into her ear. “Shanshan, I won’t leave tonight if you don’t want to let me go.”
His breath brushed against her ear, making her ears warm.
She shrunk her neck as if she had been scalded. “Didn’t you say that you still have to take care of some matters?”
“What could be more important than you?” When Huo Xunzhou saw her ears were red, he pinched them gently and asked her with a smile, “Why are they so warm.
Lin Shanchu realized that she had gotten herself into trouble.
However, she was not flustered at all.
“I heard the commotion in He Xiang’s room. She has the habit of coming out to drink water after waking up.”
Lin Shanchu’s smile was as sly as a fox.
Huo Xunzhou silently helped her tidy up her messy hair from the kiss. Then, he raised his chin slightly and looked down at her with his charming eyes.
Lin Shanchu consciously helped him adjust his bow tie.
After adjusting it, she pushed him away a little and sized him up seriously.
He was really good-looking.
He was dressed in a waiter’s uniform, looking noble like a young master concealing his identity for a private visit.
Lin Shanchu reached out and pulled the mask over his ear to put it on him. Then, she revealed a satisfied expression and said, “Hurry up and go.”
Huo Xunzhou narrowed his eyes and pinched her face as if he was venting his anger before pushing the room service trolley away.
Lin Shanchu held onto the door and poked half of her body out, watching Huo Xunzhou leave.
At the corner, Huo Xunzhou turned around and glanced at her.
Lin Shanchu could see his expression even though he was quite far away and wearing a mask.
However, she knew his intention.
He signaled her to close the door and return to her room.
This time, Lin Shanchu obediently closed the door.
Huo Xunzhou stared at the closed door for a moment before he pressed down on his mask and left with his head lowered.
Lin Shanchu heard footsteps right after she closed the door.
“Sister Lin, why are you standing at the door?” He Xiang walked over from the living room and asked nervously, “Are you going out?”
The car crash earlier had left He Xiang with a lingering fear, so she was a little afraid to let Lin Shanchu go out.
Lin Shanchu calmly opened the shoe cabinet, “No, I’m just here to see what shoes to wear to the Yun family’s house tomorrow.”
“Oh.” He Xiang did not doubt Lin Shanchu’s words at all.
Lin Shanchu walked inside after finished speaking.
He Xiang caught up from behind and saw Lin Shanchu’s red ears, so she asked confusedly, “Sister Lin, your ears are so red. Are you allergic to the ear piercings?
Lin Shanchu was taken aback and said, “It’s a little hot.”
He Xiang:was puzzled.
The weather was 20 degrees Celsius and the autumn air was refreshing, but Lin Shanchu felt hot?
It was late at night.
A black car stopped in front of the Huo family’s villa.
The chauffeur got out of the car and respectfully opened the rear door.
Huo Zhuxiu got out of the car and saw a butler waiting at the entrance. The butler came over and said, “Sir, the young master is back.”
A hint of joy flashed across Huo Zhuxiu’s expressionless face as he asked,
“Chaosheng?”
Huo Zhuxiu’s expression turned cold again when he saw the butler’s strange expression. “Is Xunzhou back?”
“Yes.” The butler nodded.
Huo Zhuxiu lifted his feet and walked straight into the reception room.
Pushing open the door to the reception room, Huo Zhuxiu saw Huo Xunzhou sitting in a wheelchair, staring at the projection screen.
An old film was playing on the screen. The picture was old and blurry, but Huo Xunzhou was watching it seriously.
Naturally, a projector would not be placed in Huo Zhuxiu’s reception room.
The butler brought it over so that Huo Xunzhou could pass the time.
Huo Xunzhou picked up the remote control and pressed the pause button.
The progress bar showed that the 120-minute movie was coming to an end.
Huo Xunzhou waited for him for nearly two hours.
Huo Zhuxiu’s expression remained unchanged even though he realized it.
“Do you have business with me?” Huo Zhuxiu sat down opposite Huo Xunzhou with a cold expression, as if he was listening to an employee reporting work in the company.
Huo Xunzhou had one hand on the armrest of his wheelchair and the indifferent expression on his face was exactly the same as Huo Zhuxiu’s.
“If you want to mend your relationship with Chaosheng, don’t do anything that will upset him.”
Huo Zhuxiu frowned unhappily and said, “You’re really my own son. You come back once in a blue moon. You want to teach me how to do things the moment you are back?”
Huo xunznou’s expression did not cnange at all. He said emotionlessly, “HOW long has it been since Chaosheng came back?”
Huo Zhuxiu took a deep breath and his eyes darkened. As if his sore spot had been touched, he snorted coldly and stopped talking.
“If you don’t want Chaosheng to date Lin Shanchu, I can help you deal with it. Also, she’s my grandfather’s guest. You should restrain yourself.”
Huo Zhuxiu grimaced even more when Huo Xunzhou mentioned Yun Hongru.
Huo Zhuxiu directly ignored the latter half of Huo Xunzhou’s words. “How are you going to deal with this?”
“That’s none of your business.” Huo Xunzhou said as he picked up the remote control and pressed the play button. He continued watching the movie as if no one else was around.
“Are you going to continue living like this Huo Zhuxiu knitted his brows as he cursed angrily, “You look nothing like my son!”
There was nothing about this son that resembled him. He looked like his deceased mother and probably inherited the stubborn personality from her.
Huo Xunzhou looked up at Huo Zhuxiu expressionlessly.
He was still holding the remote control in his hand and kept pressing the volume up button until the volume was full.
The sound of the film filled every corner of the room, overwhelming Huo Zhuxiu’s voice.
Huo Zhuxiu angrily left, slamming the door loudly.
Huo Xunzhou stared at the screen and slowly lowered the volume.
The lights in the room were off.
The light from the film shone brightly on Huo Xunzhou’s face, making it look blurry and surreal..
