After a while, Huo Chaosheng had a mixed facial expression as he said, “Make a request that I grant.”

Lin Shanchu simply lowered the requirement of her request and replied, “I want to go out for a walk.”

“Alright,” Huo Chaosheng agreed readily.

The next second, Huo Chaosheng realized that he seemed to have fallen into Lin Shanchu’s trap.

“You did it on purpose, didn’t you?” he asked with a sullen face.

At first, Lin Shanchu had deliberately made a ridiculous request that he would never grant. After giving him a presupposition, he would easily agree to her real request.

This was the so-called foot-in-the-door effect.

Lin Shanchu smiled proudly and said, “I’m hungry. I’ll go make dinner.”

She stood up, clapped her hands and straightened her clothes before striding into the kitchen.

Then, her voice sounded again.

“Clean up the corn grains on the coffee table first. Then, come over and wash the vegetables. ”

When Huo Chaosheng raised his head and looked at Lin Shanchu, she had already disappeared from the dining room.

This woman was really not afraid of him at all.

Huo Xunzhou’s woman was as difficult to deal with as him.

When Huo Chaosheng finished cleaning up the corn grains and went to the kitchen, Lin Shanchu had already taken out all the ingredients for dinner from the fridge.

Huo Chaosheng wanted to throw the corn grains into the trash can, but Lin Shanchu stopped him. “Why are you throwing them away? You can’t waste food. Put them over there, and I’ll make corn kernels with egg yolk later.” “I’m not going eat them.” Huo Chaosheng frowned and looked disgusted.

He did not want to eat the corn kernels that Lin Shanchu had played with.

Lin Shanchu directly poured the corn kernels into the basin and spat out two words expressionlessly, “Wash them!”

During dinner, Huo Xizhen scooped a spoonful of corn kernels with egg yolk for Huo Chaosheng. “Chaosheng, try this. It’s delicious.”

Huo Chaosheng pursed his lips and stared at the corn kernels on his plate as if he was facing a great enemy.

Huo Xizhen urged him, “Eat them.”

Lin Shanchu gloated as she looked at Huo Chaosheng.

Huo Chaosheng picked up a piece of corn kernel and stuffed it into his mouth with a cold expression under Huo Xizhen’s expectant gaze.

The next moment, his eyes lit up.

After that, Huo Chaosheng secretly scooped up a spoonful of corn kernels while Lin Shanchu was not paying attention.

When he put down the spoon, he looked up and met Lin Shanchu’s gaze. Then, he froze in an instant.

Lin Shanchu said softly, “A person’s life is so long. There will always be times when they slap themselves in the face.”

Huo Chaosheng was speechless.

After dinner, Lin Shanchu stopped Huo Chaosheng in the kitchen. “When are you going to open the door and let me go out for a walk?”

“You can do it whenever you want.”

Huo Chaosheng’s generosity made Lin Shanchu suspicious.

Would he be so kind?

“I want to go out for a walk now,” Lin Shanchu said tentatively.

“Let’s go.” Huo Chaosheng turned around and went to the foyer. After that, he pressed the password and unlocked the door.

Lin Shanchu looked at the wide open door. She then turned to look at Huo Chaosheng.

Huo Chaosheng made a gesture by tilting his head. ‘Go ahead.”

Lin Shanchu slowly walked toward the door.

The sky had already darkened. There was no light at all but only a dark forest as far as the eye could see.

Lin Shanchu’s heart sank as she retreated with a calm expression. “It’s too dark. I can’t see anything clearly. I’ll go out tomorrow.”

“Whatever.”

Huo Chaosheng glanced at Lin Shanchu with a faint smile and closed the door behind him.

After returning to her room at night, Lin Shanchu searched every corner of the room again, but still she failed to find anything.

She leaned against the window to get some fresh air and looked at the dark forest in a daze.

What on earth was this place? It would be a day and two nights after tonight, but Huo Xunzhou still had not found her.

Or could it be…

Had Huo Chaosheng already threatened Huo Xunzhou to do something?

Lin Shanchu closed the window in frustration.

She would try to escape tomorrow.

The next morning, Huo Chaosheng knocked on Lin Shanchu’s door just like the day before.

Lin Shanchu pulled a tissue and plugged her ears. After slowly washing up and changing her clothes, she walked over to open the door.

Huo Chaosheng had been knocking on the door for a long time, but he was no longer angry.

“Yon should make breakfast.”

Lin Shanchu walked downstairs without a word.

Huo Xizhen was sitting in the living room. When she heard the footsteps, she turned around and smiled at Lin Shanchu.

“Shanshan, you are awake? Chaosheng said you wanted to cook shredded pork noodles for us this morning.”

She wanted to cook shredded pork noodles for them?

Lin Shanchu turned around and looked expressionlessly at Huo Chaosheng.

Huo Chaosheng cleared his throat and smiled at Huo Xizhen. Then, he squeezed out a sentence audible only to Lin Shanchu.

“I’ll open the door and let you out after breakfast.”

Lin Shanchu’s expression remained unchanged after she heard his words.

She turned around and walked up to Huo Xizhen before she asked gently, “Auntie, do you want some fried eggs? I’ll fry one for you later, okay?”

“Okay, thank you.” Huo Xizhen was as happy as a child. Huo Chaosheng came over and said, “I want it too.”

Lin Shanchu went to the kitchen without a word.

After breakfast, Huo Chaosheng opened the door and let Lin Shanchu out as promised.

She could not clearly see the view outside last night, but now, she saw barren mountains and dense forests without a path to walk on.

Huo Chaosheng supported Huo Xizhen as they followed Lin Shanchu, but she quickly shook them off.

Huo Xizhen looked around and asked, “Where’s Shanshan?”

“Don’t worry,” Huo Chaosheng comforted her calmly. “She’ll be back soon.”

Huo Xizhen nodded.

In less than an hour, Lin Shanchu returned.

She was sweating profusely and looked a little disheveled.

“Did you encounter a wild wolf?” Huo Chaosheng asked with a smile after calmly sizing her up for a while.

Lin Shanchu walked over with a sullen face and reached out to grab his shirt. “Huo Chaosheng, I have limited patience. Don’t force me.”

“How am I forcing you?

Huo Chaosheng pretended to be confused as he looked at her. “You wanted to go out yourself. I didn’t force you, but fortunately you’re smart enough to come back. Wild wolves aren’t the only ones in this primitive forest.”

No wonder Huo Chaosheng was so generous to let her out. It turned out that he had expected her to come back.

Lin Shanchu leaned closer to him with a fake smile on her face.

“Huo Chaosheng, I never knew I was so kind in your eyes.”

Huo Chaosheng squinted at Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu curled her lip slightly and her voice was as cold as ice. “Do you really think that I won’t lay a hand on your weak and helpless mother?”

Huo Chaosheng had exposed Huo Xizhen so brazenly in front of her because he thought that she would not lay a hand on the innocent Huo Xizhen.

“Lin Shanchu!” Huo Chaosheng’s expression changed drastically as he shouted.

“You’re not that kind of person.”

“Yes, I am.” Lin Shanchu laughed mockingly. “You said I have humanity, but humanity is something that can be chosen. I can choose not to have humanity.”

The woman’s cat-like eyes were so clear that for a moment, Huo Chaosheng could not tell whether she was telling the truth or not.

After a while, Huo Chaosheng compromised. “The person you are waiting for

will arrive today..”
