Huo Zihang said with a regretful look, “Is that so? Has her father passed? It’s such a pity. She’s such an adorable little girl.”
Yan Jinyi looked at him mysteriously and said, “Yes, he’s dead. I heard it’s because he was a jerk who slept around too much when he was still alive so he died from an illness.”
“How was he a jerk? Did he have lots of ex-girlfriends? Actually, it’s normal to have several ex-girlfriends in today’s society.”
Yan Jinyi raised her index finger and shook it slightly before saying, “He slept with the kid’s mom and went missing afterwards. Men like him are the scumbags of scumbags, don’t you agree?”
Huo Zihang frantically nodded and said, “Yes, this kind of irresponsible man is the scumbag of scumbags. He actually chose to abandon such a lovely daughter. If I ever see him down there in the future, I’ll certainly beat him up hard.”
Yan Jinyi was satisfied. “That’s what you said.”
Huo Zihang swore, “Yes, I said so.”
“Deal, Huo Qingyuan shall be the witness.”
The movie had just ended when Huo Xishen came back.
He should have just finished socializing as he still reeked of alcohol.
Huo Zihang and Huo Qingyuan were self-conscious enough to head upstairs but before they left, they didn’t forget to wink at Yan Jinyi.
“Something wrong with your eyes?”
Expecting better from him, Huo Qingyuan exclaimed, “Ever since Big Brother and Shen Yan got divorced, Grandpa’s hope for a great-grandchild has been pinned on Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law. Good luck, we’ll be cheering for you, all the best, Second Brother!”
She even made an exaggerated gesture.
Yan Jinyi picked up the book on the table, giving Huo Qingyuan such a huge fright that she scurried upstairs immediately.
She turned around to see that Huo Xishen was leaning on the back of the sofa with his eyes closed.
He should be a little drunk as he seemed lazy and exhausted.
After thinking about it, she got up to pour a cup of hot water and brought it over. Just as she was about to hand it to Huo Xishen, she saw the lipstick mark on his collar with her sharp eyesight.
Her pretty eyebrows were slightly raised, and she placed the cup on the coffee table before taking a seat opposite Huo Xishen.
“It seems that you had a good time at the party, Mr. Huo.”
Huo Xishen slowly opened his eyes, picked up the glass of water and chugged it in one go. Watching his sexy Adam’s apple move, Yan Jinyi could not help but swallow a mouthful of water.
‘Damn, that lipstick stain is such an eyesore.’
Huo Xishen noticed Yan Jin Yi’s gaze and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He asked, “Darling, are you thirsty too?”
“No.” Yan Jinyi looked away. She replied with a cold and indifferent expression, “I just suddenly wanted to ask you about your plans for the future.”
“Huh?”
Ignoring the trace of displeasure in his heart, Yan Jinyi smiled again and said, “My business is almost established. I’ll pay the rent for that land once a year, the money will be transferred to your account on time, Mr. Huo.”
Huo Xishen’s gaze gradually turned sullen. “Then?”
“Back then, I seem to have said that you can feel free to let me know if you have found someone you like you. You and I are clearly aware of what our marriage is really like. Now that I’ve suddenly found something more valuable in life, we can get a divorce whenever you want, Mr. Huo.”
After saying that, she stood up and left without looking back.
She certainly knew that Huo Xishen was not a promiscuous person. Moreover, he had a strange resistance against women so all the more he wouldn’t casually sleep with any woman.
However, he did have a lipstick mark on his collar, and most importantly, she was furious to see it!
When Yan Jinyi realized that, she also made the shocking discovery that Huo Xishen could actually affect her mood now.
She couldn’t let this go on so she decided that she must stop it immediately.
She can be in an ambiguous relationship with him, cure his so-called misogyny, cooperate with him to act like a loving couple in front of people, but she must not let herself fall in love with a man again
Otherwise, the consequences would be unbearable for her!
