Say goodbye to Mrs. Huo politely.
Ling Chan walked out with a heavy heart.
Qi Yingzhou held the small cake and asked casually: "Do you want it?"
"No," Lingchan said with a depressed look, "Where is Huo Jiuke?"
"..." Qi Yingzhou's voice became much softer, "Huo Jiuke's embarrassing situation, what does it have to do with me? What do you think of me?"
He heard the conversation between Lingchan and Mrs. Huo.
Lingchan frowned: "What's wrong with you? I treat everyone like this. Go away."
Qi Yingzhou became even more unhappy. He sneered and said, "You do care about him."
"I don't care about your business." Lingchan has a spoiled temper. Qi Yingzhou is so sinister and eccentric, and Lingchan doesn't have a good look towards him.
"Go away." Lingchan knocked Qi Yingzhou away coldly and walked away.
Huo Jiuke was waiting for her at the gate.
Of course he wanted to send his fiancée home.
The two of them were silent all the way in the car, and the atmosphere was extremely dull.
Huo Jiuke tried to speak to ease Ling Chan's mood, but Ling Chan said, "Let's be quiet first, okay?"
She looked away and said softly: "...I want to think about it carefully."
Huo Jiuke then waited for her to think.
It wasn't until the car drove into the Jiang family's courtyard that Lingchan invited Huo Jiuke to visit her home.
Huo Jiuke followed everything.
The two met Mrs. Jiang in front of the stairs.
Mrs. Jiang was a little stunned. She blurted out, "Why is it Jiuke who sent you back?"
Huo Jiuke was always polite and considerate to the Jiang couple, but this time he gave Mrs. Jiang a soft nail for the first time, "Who else could be there besides me?"
Mrs. Jiang suspected that he was being sarcastic.
But Huo Jiuke had a soothing smile and gentle eyes, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction.
Mrs. Jiang didn't know why, but she was a little worried about the child she had watched grow up. She pulled Lingchan aside and whispered: "Mom asked you to go to Huo's house so that you can study hard and stop spending time with Jiuke every day. One piece, you have to work hard."
"Jiuke can't stay with you all the time, you have to work hard!"
"Are you trying to cultivate a relationship with Qi Yingzhou?" Lingchan asked.
Mrs. Jiang was shocked and her voice rose uncontrollably: "What are you talking about!"
Huo Jiuke heard this, he frowned and walked over, blocking Lingchan behind him without leaving any trace, and said with a smile: "Aunt Jiang, if you have anything to say, please tell me."
Mrs. Jiang's expression was ugly. She almost suspected that she had heard wrongly. She took a deep breath and said, "Jiuke, please go home first. I want to say a few words to Lingchan."
"Isn't mom going out?" Lingchan said, "You go first, Huo Jiuke will stay with me at home."
Mrs. Jiang: "..."
With Huo Jiuke here, she couldn't be too obvious, so she simply walked away and talked to her daughter properly when she came back!
Lingchan pulled Huo Jiuke into his room.
This was Huo Jiuke's first time here. What hit his nostrils was a light aroma of flowers and fruits, sweet and pure, very similar to the smell of Lingchan.
The girl's room was filled with all kinds of plush dolls, large and small, densely packed on the bed, sofa, and carpet. Many of them were gifts from Huo Jiuke.
There is a white porcelain vase on the table next to the window sill. It is elegant and exquisite. It was made by Huo Jiuke and Lingchan together.
Lingchan's bed is a double-decker, with four mahogany bedposts that raise the bed almost two meters above the ground. It is very exaggerated. The same exaggerated light pink bed curtains are hung on the bedposts, with layers of lace and bows. Floating in front of Huo Jiuke who was standing under the bed.
This bed was the princess bed that Lingchan fell in love with at first sight in a shopping mall when she was about to graduate from elementary school.
Lingchan liked it very much, but Mrs. Jiang felt that the bed was too high and unsafe, so she refused to buy it for Lingchan.
Lingchan went to pester Huo Jiuke. I don't know what Huo Jiuke did. Anyway, Lingchan got the bed she wanted in a few days.
"You always have a way." Lingchan touched her bed curtain and ran down the stairs to the bed.
She opened the curtain and urged, "Come up quickly!"
Huo Jiuke slowly recovered from this room.
This is his first time here, but there are traces of him everywhere.
He raised his eyebrows, "You want to invite me to your bed?"
Lingchan didn't show any shyness of a girl, and said seriously: "Come up quickly, I have something very important to say to you!"
So Huo Jiuke also followed the stairs and went to bed. The layers of bed curtains slowly hung down, and the outside scenery was ambiguous. He entered the private space that only belonged to Lingchan.
The bed is cramped.
There were dolls, pillows, and quilts everywhere, and there was only room for Lingchan. Huo Jiuke had to tidy it up briefly for her.
"Auntie, won't you help you fold the quilt?" Huo Jiuke said helplessly.
"I don't like having people in my bed."
Ling Chan felt confident.
Huo Jiuke's ears turned slightly red. He seemed to be concentrating on folding the quilt, but he felt restless in his heart for no reason.
He asked: "What do you want to say to me when you are so solemn?"
Lingchan took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Huo Jiuke, listen to Aunt Huo and go abroad in advance."
"..."
Huo Jiuke's fingers dug deeply into the quilt.
"Is that why you came to me to talk about this?"
Lingchan nodded.
Huo Jiuke felt a little dizzy.
The fragrance of the girl's body and the layers of gauze merged in front of his eyes, making it difficult for him to breathe, and some kind of exploding desire intensified in his heart.
His more than ten years of etiquette study allowed him to control himself. Huo Jiuke carefully adjusted his facial muscles, "Then what should you do?"
His voice was gentle, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes. He seemed to be thinking about Lingchan wholeheartedly, "You are my fiancée. At this time of year, I can't just abandon you like this."
Lingchan flapped her butterfly wings.
Qi Yingzhou recognized the Huo family in advance and asked Ling Chan to be his fiancée.
Huo Jiuke once left the original owner to fend for herself. He controlled the original owner for more than ten years, and then suddenly let her go and let her break into pieces.
Huo Jiuke doesn't want to let go now.
But Lingchan didn't allow it.
Lingchan said seriously: "Our family may not be as smooth as before, but it won't go bankrupt. I eat and drink well. Why are you worried?"
Huo Jiuke looked at her in silence. The smile on his face disappeared unconsciously. Once he stopped smiling, his originally sharp and stiff facial features became colder, and the coldness and sharpness hidden under the gentle skin were fully revealed.
"Do you know why they want me to go abroad?" Huo Jiuke said, "It's so that I can make room for Qi Yingzhou."
"The Huo family is looking for a fiancée for Qi Yingzhou, but he wants you." Huo Jiuke looked straight at Qi Lingchan and asked word for word: "You are my fiancée, so I must go."
"You want me to leave too."
"Do you also want a new fiancé?"
