Xia Cha did not have the habit of prying into other people’s privacy and was about to leave.
Bai Tong’s voice suddenly came from the other side of the bushes. “Why did you drag me here?”
“Young Master Jie asked me to tell you that if you can’t find an opportunity with Huo Third Master, you have to hold on to that playboy Huo Heng tightly.”
“Tell Young Master Jie that I’ve already hit it off with Huo Heng. When he danced with me, his eyes never left me!”
“That’s good.” The man dressed as a waiter took out a small bottle from his pocket. “The fragrance in this bottle will be sprayed on your gown. When you interact with Huo Heng later, he will smell it and be mesmerized by you…”
Bai Tong took the bottle. “Don’t worry. I can charm him even without the incense inside.”
Xia Cha’s lips twitched. She felt that Bai Tong was too confident!
However, he was afraid that she would really spray the incense and use despicable means…
Xia Cha was about to leave to tell Huo Heng when she accidentally kicked a rock.
It made a small sound.
“Someone’s here!”
The man on the other side of the bushes said alertly.
Xia Cha’s heart jumped to her throat.
She had witnessed Young Master Jie’s methods and suffered at his hands. Now that she had overheard his men talking to Bai Tong, would she be silenced if she was discovered?
There was nowhere to hide behind Xia Cha. If she ran away, Bai Tong and the man would find her back when they came around.
Just as Bai Tong and the man were about to check who was eavesdropping behind the bushes, a cat suddenly darted out.
Bai Tong was startled.
The man stopped walking.
It was a cat!
The moment the man stopped, Xia Cha, who was behind the bushes, was hugged by a slender arm.
Before she could react, she was pulled to a hidden place.
When Bai Tong and the man walked behind the bushes, Xia Cha was nowhere to be seen.
“You’re paranoid. It was ust a cat,” Bai Tong told the man.
The man nodded.
…
After Xia Cha was brought to a hidden forest by the man, she struggled free from his hand.
She didn’t even look at him as she started to walk away.
But before she could take more than two steps, the man grabbed her wrist tightly.
“Are you angry?” The man pulled her to his side and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
Xia Cha tried to pry his hand away, but he exerted force. His arm was like a chain, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not pry it away.
“Let go!” Xia Cha pinched his arm angrily.
Huo Heng looked at her angry little face. His handsome face inched closer to her and his thin lips curved into a smile. “Were you jealous that I danced with Bai Tong?”
Xia Cha neither looked at him nor answered him.
Huo Heng’s handsome forehead was pressed against hers. His long and narrow peach blossom eyes gazed lovingly at her classic and beautiful face. “I’m sure you heard what Bai Tong said to that man just now. She got close to me because she was instigated by Young Master Jie. I wanted to deal with Young Master Jie and investigate some things, so I beat her at her own game.”
Huo Heng’s tall nose rubbed against Xia Chaxiu’s sharp nose. “I already have my Little Camellia. Why would I like another woman?”
Xia Cha looked at Huo Heng, who was good at sweet-talking and making women happy. She glared at him and said, “You don’t have to say all these to make me happy. If you really like another woman, I can back out and not be entangled with you…”
Before she could finish speaking, she saw his expression darken at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He tightened his grip around her waist, wishing he could pull her into his embrace. He looked at her with a sharp gaze. “Am I so insignificant in your heart?”
“You’ve already taken a fancy to another woman. Do you want me to shamelessly pester you?”
Huo Heng lowered his head and kissed her cheek.
“I can swear to God that all I want in this life is my Little Camellia.”
Xia Cha’s thick and long eyelashes fluttered as she pouted. “Who asked you to swear?”
Huo Heng looked at her shy expression and felt incredulous.
“There are some things I can’t explain to you right now, and I don’t want to drag you into it.” He lowered his head and pressed his thin lips against her ear. “Don’t worry, I have high standards. I don’t like anyone. You’re the only one I like.”
After hearing the conversation between Bai Tong and the man, Xia Cha naturally understood some things.
Bai Tong was a spy sent by Huo Jie to the Third Master’s side.
How could Huo Heng be interested in someone sent by Huo Jie?
However…
“You danced with Bai Tong for the first dance tonight. I’m your real girlfriend!”
“You’re coming to my place tonight. We’ll dance to our hearts’ content.”
Seeing the indecent smile on his face, Xia Cha clenched her small hands into fists and punched his shoulders twice, “Who wants to dance with you? I’ve been busy with my studies and work recently, so I don’t have bother with you.”
Huo Heng hugged with one hand and held her hand with the other. “Let’s dance here.”
Without waiting for Xia Cha to say anything, he started dancing with her.
Although there was no music, he had been a young master of the upper-class society since he was born. He could also dance elegantly without any music.
Xia Cha had never danced like this before, but as he led her, she danced with familiarity and fluency.
Just like how she had danced with him a long time ago.
Xia Cha raised her long eyelashes and looked into his long and narrow eyes. “Huo Heng, sometimes I feel like we knew each other in our past lives.”
“What if that’s true?”
Xia Cha smirked, “How is that possible?”
Huo Heng wanted to say something, but his phone vibrated. He looked at the caller ID and said, “Jian Ming is looking for me. I’m leaving.”
“Oh.”
Huo Heng felt a little guilty towards Xia Cha. They had just gotten together, but he could not accompany her.
Even if they met, they could not be together openly.
He took a few steps forward and turned back to Xia Cha.
He lifted her chin and before she could react, he lowered his head and kissed her.
It was not until Huo Heng had walked far away that Xia Cha reacted.
Biting her lips, the shyness of a little girl appeared on her palm-sized oval face.
When the blush on her face slowly faded, she walked toward the banquet hall.
She did not notice a tall figure standing in a corner.
It was not until she was far away that the figure emerged.
…
For Bai Tong, there were gains and losses at the annual gala.
Although she had worn a YG dress, she did not receive Master Huo’s favor.
However, she had caught Huo Heng’s attention.
She had not used that sweet scent on her gown. She was confident in her own charm.
Even if she didn’t use that kind of method, she could still handle Huo Heng.
Huo Third Master was handsome and noble. He had not been close to women for many years, but Huo Heng was different. One look and one could tell that he was a man who was constantly flirting with women.
In less than three days, he would take the bait!
