Yan Jinyi glanced at the sofa near the terrace, thinking to herself that it would be nice to lie down there alone.
She looked over and quickly scurried to the bed where she lifted the quilt to lie down while staring at Huo Xishen. "I'm taking this place, Mr. Huo, you'll have to make do with the sofa."
Huo Xishen didn't make a single sound and instead walked towards the sofa to pick up his computer. He then started working.
It was only eleven o'clock at night. Hugging the duvet, Yan Jinyi tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep because of her brain was particularly active.
"Who is that foreigner just now?"
"A drug seller," Huo Xishen said calmly while glancing at his laptop screen.
"You're not selling drugs anyway, why does he want to cooperate with you?"
Huo Xishen looked up and glanced at her ambiguously. "I accidentally ruined his business."
As he spoke, Huo Xishen rested his chin in one hand. His fingers were slim and slender, which were really beautiful. "He runs a sordid business and the authorities happened to have investigated on his company by coincidence."
"…"
'Coincidence? I bet you did it on purpose.'
'You cut off his means of a livelihood. No wonder I got implicated.'
Feeling a little frustrated all of a sudden, Yan Jinyi said, "Don't your family's escort team go on some missions all the time? Are there any that requires dealings with pirates or any matters that have to be resolved with violence? Can you take me along?"
"Darling, you're letting your imagination run wild. We're now living in a civilized and harmonious society."
'Harmonious my foot!'
Yan Jinyi pursed her lips and turned around, letting her back face Huo Xishen.
'Forget it, forget it, I'd better go back and work on my career.'
She had already begun thinking about the businesses that she would run to make money after Black Cloud Fortress was established. While thinking about it, Yan Jinyi finally couldn't help but fall asleep.
Hearing her soft breathing, Huo Xishen finally closed his laptop.
He stood up and looked at her for a long time before removing his jacket and laying down beside her.
Yan Jinyi didn't have a pleasant sleeping posture and Huo Xishen had long experienced how terrible it feels to sleep beside her. At this moment, she suddenly turned over and wrapped her limbs around him like an octopus.
It was impossible for him not to feel any urges while holding such a beautiful woman in his arms.
Huo Xishen pursed his lips, clenched his fists tightly and stared at the top of her head.
Her hair had a heavenly scent and he was a little confused.
…
Yan Jinyi had a rather pleasant sleep for the night. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw his large, handsome face right in front of her.
Yan Jinyi was stunned and she looked down, only to realize that she was laying on top of Huo Xishen.
Huo Xishen's face was slightly red and his breathing was slightly rapid too.
'Uh...'
Yan Jinyi suddenly sat up and tugged her nightgown. At this moment, Huo Xishen was jolted awake too. He opened his eyes with a chagrined gaze in them. Perhaps because he had just woken up, his voice was rather hoarse. "Darling, you're up."
Feeling awkward, Yan Jinyi asked, "Shouldn't you be sleeping on the couch?"
"I don't have a blanket."
Only then did Yan Jinyi realize that there was indeed only one duvet on the bed.
By the time they disembarked from the ship, it was already afternoon. Assistant Wen specially drove to the port to pick them up.
Staring at the two bags Huo Xishen was carrying, Yan Jinyi asked, "Did you bring me here just for the auction?"
"Take it as a date too."
'Date? You spent so much money on something that isn't worth its price and I even almost got kidnapped. You call that a date?'
The thought of the necklace that cost 10 million yuan made her heart ache.
"Darling, do you want to go home now?"
Staring at Huo Xishen who was beside her, Yan Jinyi glared at him and said, "No, I'm going to go make some money."
'We're talking about 10 million yuan. It's going to take me ages to earn such a large sum to recover the loss.'
Huo Xishen smiled and said affectionately, "Alright, I'll send you there."
As soon as Yan Jinyi reached Tao Wei's studio, he walked towards her with a grave and sorrowful expression. "Jinyi, you're finally here. Did we offend the Bai family? They've snatched away all the actors and actresses that we want to invite."
