Su Wanwan quickly stood up. “I’m going to do my homework.”
But the moment she reached the stairway, a large hand grabbed her from behind and began to ascend the stairs.
Su Wanwan began to struggle wildly. “I haven’t finished my homework yet! Let me go! Ahhh!”
Huo Jingshen suddenly stopped in his tracks and made his way back downstairs. “Don’t shout and scream, you’re disturbing Ziyang’s studies.”
“You remember there are children in the house?”
Su Wanwan thought he had finally come to his senses, only to be taken by Huo Jingshen to the guest room downstairs.
Damn it.
As soon as they entered the room, Su Wanwan began to struggle desperately, “I have to study! I have to study! I have to study!”
“You lied to me and involved Ziyang in your deceit. That’s a serious offence, deserving punishment, don’t you think?” Huo Jingshen spoke.
Uh…
Su Wanwan quickly explained, “I lied to you out of necessity.”
“Let’s hear it then.”
Interest gleamed in Huo Jingshen’s eyes.
Su Wanwan carried on with her serious explanation, “Ziyang likes the little class leader in his class. You’re familiar with her: she’s pretty and adorable, a perfect match for Ziyang. As he’s shy, he didn’t want to tell you. Now that you know, you can’t break them up, understand?”
Huo Jingshen’s previously cheerful face suddenly turned dark. “Do I look like the type to interfere in my child’s love life?”
Su Wanwan responded immediately, “You’re quite old and conservative. I was afraid you wouldn’t accept their puppy love.”
“So I’m old and conservative?” Huo Jingshen scoffed.
“What… What are you going to do?”
God.
He wouldn’t dare to…
With a “clang” noise-
Su Wanwan’s sleepiness was instantly banished by the fear.
She found herself sitting in a study room with her school bag placed on the table.
“What are you doing?”
“Isn’t your English exam coming up? Get to your homework.”
Su Wanwan was instantly livid. “Damn it, after all the excitement, you’re dumping homework on me? Why didn’t you let me do my work earlier? I’m so tired, I could fall asleep…”
Pushing the bag in frustration, she raised her head and snorted in defiance, “I’m not doing it!”
With a faint smile, Huo Jingshen spoke, “You don’t feel like doing your homework? Fine, we can do something else then.”
Su Wanwan:”…”
Left with no choice, Su Wanwan groped for a dictionary, exercise books, and a pen in her bag.
Reluctantly, she started working on English problems.
But…
She was so tired and sleepy that she could hardly lift her arms.
As she looked at the English letters on the page, she couldn’t suppress a yawn.
Looking up again, she saw Huo Jingshen sitting on the sofa, holding a tablet, legs crossed, looking rather cheerful, as if he was watching…
A show?
“What inappropriate thing are you watching?” Su Wanwan blurted out.
Sliding his slender finger across the tablet, Huo Jingshen cast her an annoyed glance. “Didn’t old Mr. Xing gift you a property in Sanluo Garden? I’m checking real estate prices in the surrounding area.”
Su Wenwen immediately widened her eyes, “What for? That’s my house! The property deeds are under my name! Don’t you dare appropriate it!”
Huo Jingshen’s face darkened instantly, “Are you so money-minded?”
Appropriate that property?
Would he need to?
“I still remember the time you swiped my red packet,” challenged Su Wenwen. “Don’t think that because you’re older than me, you can fool me around!”
Huo Jingshen couldn’t help but laugh, “I saved the money for you. When you begin earning, I’ll return it to you, with interest included.”
“With interest included? What does that mean?”
“Investment. Understand?”
With darling eyes, nibbling on her pen, Su Wenwen replied, “Seems like… I somewhat understand..”
