Huo Xishen was a little puzzled and he stared at Yan Jinyi's back, seemingly deep in thought. After a long time, he headed upstairs to return to his own room.
After entering the bathroom and removing his clothes, he finally discovered the bright red lipstick stain on his shirt, which made his frown deepen.
He had attended the engagement party of the son of the owner of Yixin Finance today so he naturally couldn't avoid meeting Leng Yuxi.
He thought that the lipstick stain must have been left behind by Leng Yuxi when she thought about the scene at the time. Huo Xishen's face became more and more sullen. If it wasn't for the fact that she was Uncle Bai's daughter, he wouldn't have let her off after what she had done.
Suddenly reminded of something, Huo Xishen quickly took a shower and changed into a fresh set of clothes. 'I that girl upset because she saw the lipstick stain?
Yan Jinyi was leaning against the railing of the balcony and spacing out while wondering, 'Who does that lipstick stain belong to? Is he really seeing another woman out there?'
The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she felt.
At this moment, the sound of a key being inserted into the lock filled the air and immediately afterwards, her room door was pushed open from outside. She subconsciously turned around to see that Huo Xishen had appeared in front of them.
"This is my room. Get out."
'I was too careless. How could I have forgotten that Zhang Guoquan had a spare key to all the doors in the entire villa!?!'
Huo Xishen placed a hand in his pocket and strode towards her. Seeing that Yan Jinyi was glaring at him, he asked, "Darling, are you bothered by that lipstick stain?"
Yan Jinyi began to feign ignorance. "What lipstick stain? Why should I care about a lipstick stain?"
Huo Xishen chose not to expose her either. He suddenly leaned over to place both hands onto the railing, securing her in his arms. "Darling, did you not see the lipstick stain on my shirt?"
"I-I don't know, I didn't see it."
"In that case, I still feel the need to inform you, Darling."
Yan Jinyi met his gaze indifferently and asked, "What do you want to tell me about?"
"The owner of Yixin Finance is getting engaged today. I had some wine and ran into Leng Yuxi. The lipstick stain belongs to her."
'Damn it, I've thought about everyone but I never thought that the lipstick stain is from Leng Yuxi! If Doggy Huo dares to have an affair with Leng Yuxi, I'll castrate him right now!'
"Well, Miss Leng accidentally fell and lunged towards me. Her lipstick stained my shirt because I couldn't dodge in time."
'He's explaining, huh? Given Leng Yuxi's lousy habit, it's indeed possible that she'd do such a shameless thing.'
"Mr. Huo, why didn't you accompany the beauty who sent herself to you?"
Huo Xishen answered seriously, "I already have you and that's enough, Darling."
'Gee...'
'Who'd believe you?'
However, Yan Jinyi admitted that she was now in a much better mood.
In fact, after thinking about it, she realized that she had quite an amazing relationship with Huo Xishen. They were married in name and had never crossed their boundaries with each other.
However, it wouldn't be apt to say that they were not on good terms because they had already hugged and kissed each other. They had even shared the same bed without getting intimate. She had also taken on the task of treating his illness for him.
They seemed to be separated by a sheet of paper that becomes thinner over time. Although it had clearly become extremely fragile, no one tried to break it.
'That's actually great.'
Yan Jinyi sighed again. "Mr. Huo, we should be considered friends now, right?"
Huo Xishen was slightly stunned and repulsed by the word "friends" but when he saw her cold and distant gaze, he couldn't help but nod.
"Apart from friends, we're indeed also a married couple who share mutual benefit. Don't worry, Mr. Huo, I will fully support your job.. Although I can't give you any help, I definitely won't try and ruin your relationship."
