“No, you have misunderstood.” Li Miaoke was anxious. She hurriedly waved her hand and explained, “I was distracted in class. Ms. Wang was also just worried about my study…”

“Distracted? What were you thinking about when you were distracted?” Huo Quan suddenly interrupted her.

Li Miaoke was stunned. What was she thinking about when she was distracted? Of course she was thinking about him! But how could she say such embarrassing words?

Huo Quan instantly understood when he saw Li Miaoke’s reaction. His Adam’s apple kept rolling, and his handsome face revealed a charming smile. He gave a deep kiss on Li Miaoke’s forehead and said, “Since Miaoke was thinking about me, then what’s the problem with it even if she was distracted?”

In Huo Quan’s opinion, it was natural for Li Miaoke to think about him whenever she wanted to. Yet, the headteacher regarded this close relationship between a couple as a mistake. It was quite displeasing.

Li Miaoke’s face was flushed. This man was so smart that he could understand it before she said anything! This did not make sense!

On the other hand, the headteacher was first threatened by Huo Quan, then she saw the two of them acting so intimately in front of her as if she was not there. Hence, she was furious. “I don’t care who you are. Li Miaoke is about to take her college entrance exam. She was distracted in class and even…”

“Even what?” Huo Quan’s voice was faint as he spoke.

Ms. Wang instantly fell silent, and her body subconsciously tensed up. This man had a powerful aura.

“Long Yi.”

Huo Quan glanced coldly at the headteacher and ordered the serious-looking man in a black suit, “You take care of the rest of it.”

After that, he carried Li Miaoke, who was struggling in his arms and strode away.

“Brother Huo, put me down. This is my school, don’t…” It was too shameful to be carried away like this. How embarrassed would she be if the other students saw her?

“If you want everyone to see us, you can keep shouting,” Huo Quan said with a faint smile.

Li Miaoke lost her words immediately.

In an instant, she obediently leaned into Huo Quan’s arms and did not say a single word. In order to prevent herself from being seen by the other students, she even shrank her head into Huo Quan’s arms.

Huo Quan was amused by her tiny movements. “Aren’t you afraid of suffocating yourself?”

Li Miaoke’s voice was muffled. “It’s better than losing my face anyway.”

After getting into the car, Li Miaoke instantly retracted from Huo Quan’s embrace. She chattered and asked, “Why did you come to my school? Did my teacher call you? And, how could you tell my teacher that you’re my husband? I haven’t agreed to marry you yet, you…”

“What?” Huo Quan pulled Li Miaoke closer to him. “Tell me, what’s wrong with me? What did I say wrong?”

Li Miaoke stopped talking again.

Huo Quan held Li Miaoke’s hand and stroked it slowly. A hint of excitement flashed across his dark eyes. “Miaoke, you’ll turn eighteen in a while.”

Somehow, Li Miaoke could sense a hint of danger from Huo Quan’s low and hoarse voice. Her hair stood on end. “Brother Huo, are you…” She forced down the uneasiness and embarrassment in her heart and asked in a low voice, “Are you going to prepare a gift for me to celebrate my coming of age?”

Huo Quan smiled. “What gift do you want?”

Li Miaoke’s eyes sparkled. “I’ll like whatever you give me.”

Huo Quan suddenly bent down, and the distance between them shrank. They were so close that Li Miaoke could clearly feel Huo Quan’s hot breath on her face. “Then, how about I give myself to you?”

Li Miaoke was surprised.

Her eyes were wide open as if she couldn’t believe that Huo Quan would say something like that. “You, you, how could you…”

“Miaoke, I’m a man.” Huo Quan smiled helplessly. He pulled her into his arms and patted the back of her head to appease her. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t be afraid. I’m always here.”

This time, Li Miaoke really forgot to struggle. She lay on Huo Quan’s shoulder in a daze. She did not respond even when Huo Quan kissed her ear.

Huo Quan felt her obedience and softness. His deep eyes darkened, but the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger.

“That’s not right!” Li Miaoke suddenly retracted from Huo Quan’s arms. She said with a puzzled look, “I remember that my father wanted to set you up with my sister. Now you want me to…”

“You don’t have to worry about these things. In my heart, the Li family wouldn’t have been worth mentioning if I didn’t consider your situation in your family.” There was a hint of disdain in Huo Quan’s voice.

Li Miaoke did not know what to say.

She had never doubted Huo Quan’s power. Yet, she didn’t expect this arrogant man to have secretly thought so much for her. Li Miaoke suppressed the strange feeling in her heart. She really wanted to ask him, “Brother Huo, did you have a crush on me a long time ago?” But in the end, she didn’t ask. This… was just too embarrassing.
