Upon entering the living room, Huo Jingshen called for a servant, “Take the lady upstairs to rest first.”

“Yes, sir.”

When Su Wanwan and the servant’s figures disappeared, Chu Xiuhuang snickered, “Ah, married men are indeed different.”

Huo Jingshen glanced at him indifferently.

An ominous glance.

“Big brother, what’s so different?” Nangong Ci couldn’t help but ask. How couldn’t he notice it?

Lu Chenyu, also single, raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

Chu Xiuhuang lifted his red wine, took an unhurried sip, and said, “You two bachelors should try dating first, then come back and ask me your questions.”

Nangong Ci rolled his eyes, “What does this have to do with dating?”

“You two haven’t even started dating yet, barely made it past primary school, and already want to discuss postgraduate matters?” Chu Xiuhuang added after finishing, “Brother is an exception. He bypassed kindergarten and graduated directly.”

“Pfft!” Nangong Ci spat out a mouthful of red wine.

Alternatively, Lu Chenyu gave his big brother a thumbs-up.

Huo Jingshen narrowed his dark eyes, “Are all three of you jobless?”

Are they planning on staying forever?

Chu Xiuhuang casually stretched his long legs, as leisurely as always, “Big brother, I lost millions because of you this time. If you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll go to Xiao Yebai.”

“Second brother, Xiao Yebai is backed by the Mo family.” Nangong Ci reminded.

“So what?”

It’s just the Mo family. He, Chu Xiuhuang, wasn’t concerned about them at all, or else he wouldn’t be competing with the Mo family through his investments.

Huo Jingshen stood up right away, “Make yourself scarce before I come back downstairs.”

Everyone:

Upstairs, Su Wanwan looked around the enormous master bedroom, “Are there any other rooms?”

“My lady, this is the master bedroom.” The servant responded in surprise. Surely…

Mr. Huo and his wife aren’t planning on sleeping in separate rooms?

Of course, Su Wanwan knew this was the master bedroom.

The entire room was colored only in shades of black, white, and grey.

Understated and cool.

Monotonous and dull.

It screamed of an old man’s aesthetic taste: she couldn’t get used to it!

Moreover, this room was too big and empty, with hardly any decorations. If she were to sleep here… it might be quite unsettling.

“My lady, you can call me Auntie Liu, like the master, and I’ll be here working from 10 to 6 every day. If there’s anything you need, please don’t hesitate to call me at any time.”

“Okay, thank you, Auntie Liu.”

After the servant left, the first thing Su Wanwan did was get her phone charger and plug in her phone.

Then, she went to open the door to the bathroom.

Wow, even the bathroom was massive!

An entire wall was covered in mirrors. The tiles were made of black and white marble and divided into three sections for washing, showering, and bathing.

The bathing area was particularly noticeable due to the exceptionally large bathtub. Taking a bath here at night would surely be very relaxing…

“The bathtub seems not big enough.”

The sudden voice startled Su Wanwan.

Holy crap.

Did this man not make any noise when he walked?

Turning around, she saw Huo Jingshen standing behind her. He was so close that…

She could smell the faint scent of tobacco on him.

Su Wanwan subconsciously stepped back. Wearing Huo Jingshen’s slippers, which were too large, her foot unexpectedly slid out, landing on the cold tile.

Huo Jingshen looked down, her small, incredibly white foot standing out against the black tiles. White enough…to be rather tempting.

Scrambling to stuff her foot back into the slipper, Su Wanwan, flustered and at a loss for words, stammered, “Ah, you… aren’t you late for your flight?”

The man merely grunted in response.

“Isn’t it almost half-past four?” Su Wanwan kindly reminded him.

“Not to worry,” he said, before taking a step forward.

Su Wanwan couldn’t help but retreat a step back.

Yet Huo Jingshen advanced another step.

“What…are you trying to do?” Su Wanwan blinked her clear and bright eyes, her words stumbling out.

Huo Jingshen stared at her unwaveringly, “Ah, I want to, but…I can’t.”

Su Wanwan:”…”

Err…

Was he…making a move on her?

“Come here.”

Huo Jingshen decided to stop beating around the bush and reached out a hand to gesture her over.

“What on earth are you planning to do?” Staring back into his eyes, Su Wanwan felt like a little rabbit that had fallen into a wolf’s lair, her heart pounding with fear.

She was aware that it’s normal for married couples to do “that,” but he was supposed to be catching a flight today, wasn’t he?

He wasn’t planning to devour her this hurriedly, was he?

“Come here.” His voice held a hint of impatience this time.

Su Wanwan gritted her teeth.

Whatever.

Eater he must, eater he shall.

Whether it was sooner or later, she would be eaten anyway!

Bracing herself, she moved to take a step, but before she could complete it, her hand was grasped.

“Close your eyes.”

Su Wanwan was a bit mystified.

Huo Jingshen curled his attractive thin lips, “Do you like to kiss with your eyes open?”

Su Wanwan:”??? “
