“Mu Jing, promise me, you should rest that mouth of yours every now and then, okay?”
Yi Ting took off his apron and walked over to them with a bottle of wine.
“Of course…not!”
Mu Jing shook his finger. “Mouths are made for talking. Besides, I still have a lot of questions for Old Huo. Look…”
He swirled his glass of wine and pointed to the distance with his chin.
The girl was kneeling on the carpet with Tong Tong and Little Ye cuddling next to her. The three of them were intently watching Peppa Pig, which was playing on the television.
The scene was surprisingly harmonious.
But, as he looked at them, Mu Jing hissed and asked Huo Yunque, “Old Huo, don’t you feel guilty for having indecent thoughts towards a young girl at your age?”
Hearing this, the man raised his eyebrows.
He brushed the hair from his forehead to the back of his head, and a slightly evil look suddenly appeared on his clear and compelling face.
Chuckling, he replied, “Yes, I do.”
“Then, how can you still—” Mu Jing’s eyes opened wide.
But the man simply curved his lips. “That’s why I’m planning to pay for it with the rest of my life.”
“F*ck!”
Mu Jing choked on his wine and coughed uncontrollably.
Teary-eyed, he raised a thumb at Huo Yunque in defeat. “Cool! You’re so cool!”
Yi Ting shook his head and laughed.
When they were young, they were really close. But Huo Yunque had always been the calmest and most mature one. During that time, they were like his followers who followed him around everywhere.
Now that they were older and they both had their own families, Yi Ting actually grew quite worried about Huo Yunque who was still on his own.
Even now…
He was still a little worried.
He poured a glass of red wine and pushed it over to Huo Yunque. “Are you serious?” he asked.
There was no reply.
The man’s fingers touched the glass. Meanwhile, the lights shone down on him and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Yi Ting immediately understood.
But there were some things that he had to say.
“Bro, Miss Song is still quite young, isn’t she?”
“She’s 19.”
“Yes, still a child,” Yi Ting sighed. “Although I don’t want to be pessimistic, girls of her age are generally after new and exciting things. We are much older than her. She is just entering into an age of discovery and temptation. Boys of her age are all sweet-talkers. What if…”
Since they grew up together, he knew Huo Yunque quite well.
He appeared cool and collected on the surface, but his heart was actually fiery and passionate.
If he fell in love with someone, it would be for life.
But the future was unpredictable. Even though Song Yaoyao was a good girl and Huo Yunque was his respected older brother, no one could guarantee the future.
“Oh?”
Huo Yunque listened quietly and raised his eyebrows with a smile. Lifting his chin, he finished the glass of red wine in one go.
The slightly drunk look in his eyes made him look even more refined. From head to toe, he was completely alluring.
He leaned against the sofa. With nowhere to place his long legs, he naturally crossed them. He narrowed his phoenix eyes, looking inexplicably handsome.
“That won’t happen.”
He was confident.
Mu Jing and Yi Ting looked at each other, their mouths agape. When they saw the man’s expression they couldn’t help but reveal bitter smiles.
“That’s true. I was being too paranoid.”
This man either did nothing, or he’d do it in a way that was guaranteed a success.
He was a qualified predator. When he made a move, his prey’s life was destined to fall into his hands.
