Xia Cha frowned, not understanding why the Huo family’s car was following her.
She could not help but speed up.
However, her body was weak and could not move fast.
The black sedan behind her followed her at a steady pace.
Fortunately, Xia Cha saw a drugstore not too far away.
After buying the medicine at the drugstore, Xia Cha deliberately dawdled for a while. She thought that she would not be able to see the Huo family’s car when she came out, but unexpectedly…
Young Master Huo, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was waiting at the entrance of the drugstore.
Xia Cha was even more confused.
Previously, at the Xia family’s courtyard, Young Master Huo’s gaze had already puzzled her. Now, why had he followed her to the drugstore?
Xia Cha looked at Huo Heng with a guarded expression. She did not intend to talk to him and prepared to go back.
But she had only taken two steps when she heard the man say lazily, “Go back and tell your sister that I’ve fallen for her.”
Xia Cha froze.
She turned back and looked at Huo Heng with her slender eyes. After a few seconds of silence, she said, “Young Master Huo, don’t worry. I’ll tell Sister Furong.”
This little girl would even change his words on purpose!
A devilish smile appeared on Huo Heng’s lips. It was the same smile he had when he was still Huo Ze. It was a smile that was hard to resist.
Bad and crazy.
“Little girl, I like Xia Lan from your second branch.”
Xia Cha opened her mouth and was about to curse, but she swallowed it back.
This Young Master Huo gave her a familiar feeling.
It was annoying!
“Young Master Huo, Sister Furong is the prettiest in our Xia family. Only she is worthy of you. My sister is still in her third year of high school. She’s not suitable for you!”
Huo Heng’s tall body leaned against the back of the wheelchair, his upturned eyes narrowed devilishly. His careless and arrogant aura was vividly displayed on him. He raised his slender and fair hand, his fingers rubbing his handsome chin. “Then, what shall I do? I don’t like the prettiest girl, I like gentle and quiet ones like your Sister Lan.”
“Besides…” Huo Heng dragged his words, looking even more arrogant and unruly.” Didn’t your Sister Lan pretend to be timid and weak in front of my Grandma on purpose? ”
Xia Cha’s heart thumped.
This devilish man had actually seen through everything?
“Your grandmother will not agree to you marrying my sister.”
Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha’s glare. Her expression was the same as when Tangtang was angry.
Huo Heng’s heart was beating faster. He suppressed the urge to rush forward and pull her into his arms to question her. He said calmly, “My Grandma dotes on me. As long as I like her, she won’t say anything.”
Xia Cha looked at the man’s bright and devilish eyes and felt an indescribable panic in her heart. Did he really like her sister?
“Young Master Huo, feelings can’t be forced. My sister doesn’t like you. Besides, Sister Furong is the one who is engaged to you.”
“Back then, the Old Master of the Xia family and my Old Master only said that their grandchildren were engaged, but didn’t specify which girl from your Xia family. I can choose anyone I like!”
This arrogant fellow! Did he think that he was the ancient emperor choosing his consort?
Before Xia Cha could say anything, she heard him say, “I can choose you too.”
Xia Cha thought that she had heard wrongly. She almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
“Young Master Huo, are you crazy? If you’re sick, you should go to the hospital to see a doctor!”
Xia Cha blurted out.
With that said, even she was stunned.
How could she have been so rude to Young Master Huo?
Xia Cha thought that Young Master Huo would be angry because of this, but he smiled even more devilishly.
Xia Cha felt that he was seriously ill.
Who would be so happy after being scolded as a mentally ill patient?
“You’re Xia Cha?”
Xia Cha looked at Huo Heng’s eyes and she had goosebumps.
She was only fifteen years old and still looked like she was malnourished. He shouldn’t have any bad thoughts about her, right?
Did he really like her sister?
Thinking about how her sister had been suffering from insomnia for several nights because of this and had even cried secretly countless times, Xia Cha found this person even more annoying.
His grandmother clearly thought that her sister was not suitable for her grandson, so why was he still…
“I didn’t get to eat at your house. Come and eat with me.”
Xia Cha was speechless.
Huo Heng saw that she was looking at him like he was a big monster and his lips twitched, a devilish smile on his face. “You’re not going? If not, I’ll let my Grandma go to your house to propose marriage now!”
Xia Cha said, “Are you not going to propose marriage after dinner?”
Huo Heng stared at her yellowish face. “Once you’re full, we can have a good chat.”
Xia Cha muttered in her heart. Could he be a foodie?
…
Huo Heng brought Xia Cha to the best restaurant in Wenfeng County.
All he ordered was seafood.
This was a feast for Xia Cha, who was from the Xia family’s second branch.
After all, they could not even eat their fill in the Xia family . If they ate too much rice, they would be scolded by Xia Wangshi.
However, Xia Cha was not interested in the seafood on the table.
She really did not like these.
Huo Heng wiped his slender fingers with a warm towel, took the prawn and peeled the shell off, as if he was treating a work of art, slow and elegant.
He dipped it in the sauce and put it on Xia Cha’s plate. “Eat, eat.”
His gaze on her was very gentle.
Xia Cha could not read his eyes, but she was not interested in the prawns he had put on her plate.
“I can’t eat these.”
She was shocked by her own words.
Although she had long felt that she was not the real Xia Cha, but a soul that lived here, she did not even like to eat prawns. Wasn’t she too delicate?
“Why? Are you allergic to seafood?”
“I-I don’t know.”
Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha and narrowed his eyes slightly, deep in thought.
Had she forgotten Tangtang’s memories?
“Did you get into an accident some time ago?”
Xia Cha hummed.
“When?”
Xia Cha answered him.
Huo Heng’s heart skipped a beat. She had been in the same accident as Huo Heng on the same day.
“Tangtang?”
“Young Master Huo, what did you say?”
“Do you know Xia Tang?”
“Who is it?”
Huo Heng pursed his lips. “A big star.”
Xia Cha lowered her eyes. “I never chase after celebrities.” The Xia family did not have the conditions for her to chase after celebrities.
Huo Heng did not ask anything more. He clapped his hands and called the waiter over. “Bring a few home-cooked dishes.”
After a while, home-cooked dishes such as fried meat, garlic eggplants, and tomato eggs were served.
Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha. “Do you like these?”
Xia Cha nodded. “Yes.”
Huo Heng’s gaze on Xia Cha softened. “Eat more if you like. You’re too thin.”
