Xia Cha did not know why her impression of Huo Heng had suddenly changed…
Perhaps, it was because he had saved her when she was in danger yesterday.
Without his help, she might have already died in the vast sea yesterday.
Huo Heng carried Xia Cha onto the fishing boat.
The fisherman was an older man in his fifties.
Xia Cha sat at the side, wearing Huo Heng’s coat. Huo Heng was talking to the uncle.
The uncle had caught some fish in the morning and was in a hurry to go home. He refused to send her and Huo Heng to the pier.
The uncle was very stubborn, so Huo Heng had no choice but to let him take the fish home.
The uncle lived in a remote area, and he was the only family within a five-kilometer radius.
He handed the fish to his wife.
Huo Heng talked to him again. The uncle suggested that if Huo Heng paid him, he would send them to the pier.
Huo Heng’s phone ran out of battery. The uncle didn’t have a phone, so he couldn’t contact Jian Ming.
He didn’t have a wallet on him, so he didn’t have any cash to give the uncle.
When Xia Cha found out about the situation, she suggested, “Why don’t I stay here and let Uncle send you to the pier first!”
Hearing Xia Cha’s words, Huo Heng raised his eyebrows, “Aren’t you afraid that I will leave you here?”
“No,” Xia Cha said instinctively.
If he wanted to leave her here, there would have been no need to save her yesterday.
Huo Heng pressed his tongue against his cheek and couldn’t help but chuckle.
From last night until now, the little girl had always trusted and relied on him. This had never happened before.
Huo Heng smiled. “You’re so obedient, I want to kiss you.”
Xia Cha was stunned for a moment. When she regained her senses, she glared at him with a red face. “Leave quickly.”
With one hand in his pocket, Huo Heng turned around and left without another word.
After taking a few steps, he seemed to sense that she was looking at him and turned to look at her.
Xia Cha had not expected him to turn around. She wanted to look away, but it was too late.
The man strode up to her and lifted her chin with his finger.
His tall figure bowed slightly, casting a shadow over her head.
Xia Cha wanted to push him away, but the next second, he grabbed her wrist.
She could smell the salty scent of seawater on him.
All of a sudden, her vision turned dark and something covered her lips.
By the time she realized what was happening, the man was already far away.
He had actually…
Xia Cha gritted her teeth and glared at the man’s back.
“Huo Heng, you bastard.”
He had kissed her without her permission.
This was her first kiss. How could he…
Xia Cha was furious.
After Huo Heng left, Xia Cha sat alone in the yard.
The auntie came out with a bowl of noodles. “Miss, have something to eat first. This place is a little far from the dock. I don’t think your boyfriend will be back so soon.”
“Auntie, he’s not my boyfriend.”
“Young lady, why are you so shy? I saw everything.”
Xia Cha was speechless.
Xia Cha’s head was still hurting badly. She only ate a few mouthfuls of the noodles cooked by the auntie.
She sat in the courtyard and waited for more than two hours. Huo Heng and the uncle had not returned yet.
Without any medicine, Xia Cha felt increasingly uncomfortable.
The auntie walked over. “Young lady, why don’t you sleep inside first?”
Xia Cha nodded weakly. “Okay, thank you, auntie.”
…
Xia Cha did not go to Director Chen’s audition. Director Chen thought that she had missed her appointment and did not think about anything else.
Until Huo Third Master called him.
After learning that Xia Cha did not attend the audition, Huo Third Master contacted Qi Ran and learned from her that he had lost contact with Xia Cha.
Not only had she turned off her phone, but she had also not returned to the hotel.
Qi Ran had already called the police.
After Huo Third Master learned of this news, he immediately sent people to search for Xia Cha’s whereabouts.
Huo Third Master went to the beach personally after finding out where Xia Cha had gone missing.
Coincidentally, she ran into an uncle waiting for Huo Heng.
Huo Third Master’s men took the photo and asked the uncle. They found him stammering and suspicious, so they immediately reported it to Huo Third Master.
Huo Third Master asked the uncle himself. The uncle couldn’t resist Huo Third Master’s strong aura and told him that Xia Cha was at his house.
Huo Third Master let the uncle lead the way while he drove the speedboat to the uncle’s house.
Xia Cha was still running a fever and she lay on the bed in a daze.
She vaguely heard someone calling her.
Xia Cha slowly opened her eyes. In her blurry vision, she saw a tall figure. Her lips moved, “Huo…”
Her voice was very soft and Huo Third Master couldn’t hear what she said clearly. He only heard the word ‘Huo’.
He reached out and touched her forehead. It was burning.
“I’ll take you away.” Huo Third Master stretched out his long arms and carried Xia Cha up from the bed.
The assistant behind him was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
In the past few years, Huo Third Master didn’t even have a woman by his side. Even if a woman wanted to get close to him, he would reject her coldly.
He had a serious obsession with cleanliness, but at this moment, he was actually hugging a girl who looked extremely disheveled.
And this girl was wearing another man’s clothes.
Not long after Huo Third Master took Xia Cha away, Huo Heng came over.
The uncle’s fishing boat had encountered a malfunction on the way to the dock. The uncle had spent some time repairing the boat. When Huo Heng returned to the hotel and contacted Jian Ming, things had already gotten to this point.
Upon seeing Huo Heng, the middle-aged man said, “You’re too late. Someone has already taken the little girl away.”
Huo Heng’s face darkened. “Who?”
Seeing Huo Heng’s expression, the uncle didn’t dare to look at him. “I heard from my wife that his surname is also Huo.”
His surname was Huo?
Huo Heng narrowed his eyes dangerously.
…
Huo Third Master brought Xia Cha to his villa.
He called his personal doctor over.
The doctor gave Xia Cha a drip.
Xia Cha slept for almost a day and her fever subsided in the evening.
She opened her eyes and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling above her. She was stunned for a few seconds.
Where was this?
She remembered that the auntie had told her to go to her room to sleep. The auntie’s room was simple and plain. It was completely different from here…
Xia Cha lifted the blanket and was about to get off the bed when she froze.
She looked down at her pajamas.
She was wearing a set of female pajamas. The texture and style were obviously extravagant.
Xia Cha got off the bed and stepped on the soft carpet. She opened the door.
Someone was standing outside the door and seemed about to enter. She opened the door and walked out. The person walked in and she accidentally bumped into him.
The faint smell of men’s perfume entered her nose. Xia Cha took a few steps back and was about to hit the door when a slender hand reached out and blocked the back of her head.
Then, the man’s clear and low voice sounded. “Be careful.”
Xia Cha looked up and was slightly stunned when she saw the man’s handsome face.
Why… was it Huo Third Master?
