Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It took a great deal of self-control for Lin Shanchu to hold back from laughing out loud.
“What else?” she asked as she calmed herself down. After she said the words, the room fell silent.
Lin Shanchu did not rush him.
After a while, the man’s deep and magnetic voice sounded in the dark night.
“You are my beloved Shanshan.”
It was obvious that he stumbled over the first two words, but he smoothly said “my beloved Shanshan” in the second half of the sentence.
Lin Shanchu was very satisfied. She rolled around under the blanket before throwing herself into Huo Xunzhou’s arms.
“Shanshan forgives you.”
She leaned into Huo Xunzhou’s arms and obediently closed her eyes to sleep.
“Mm.” Huo Xunzhou chuckled.
He reached out and gently patted Lin Shanchu’s back to coax her to sleep.
Just as Lin Shanchu was about to fall asleep, Tang Qidai’s face flashed across her mind.
She suddenly woke up.
Huo Xunzhou’s pat on her back was so light that it was negligible.
She Imew that he had been very busy recently.
He had to deal with the company’s matters and Huo Zhuxiu while staying in the old mansion. He had to find out his aunt’s whereabouts and even spend a lot of effort to deal with her.
He was not a god, so he would be tired for sure.
Lin Shanchu opened her eyes in the darkness and felt his hand gently patting her back slowly stop.
It did not take long for his breathing to slow down.
Lin Shanchu listened to his breathing and felt at ease, but she was wide awake.
The events of the day flashed through her mind like life flashing before her eyes. Then, she couldn’t help but think about the comments and news she had read online before she went to bed.
She was wrong.
She felt that Huo Xunzhou might really be a god.
He had warned her not to look at her phone because she might have insomnia, but she did not believe him.
This time, she really could not sleep!
Lin Shanchu sighed quietly.
She was afraid that she would wake Huo Xunzhou up with a loud sigh.
Lin Shanchu closed her eyes and tried to force herself to sleep.
To her surprise, she became more awake and clear-headed after she closed her eyes.
Tang Qidai’s face became clearer and clearer, and she could clearly remember the IDs of the netizens who posted those comments.
She closed her eyes and her mind was a mess. She was so annoyed that she wanted to turn over.
Huo Xunzhou had been asleep for so long. It shouldn’t be a problem for her to quietly turn over, right?
Lin Shanchu tried to move her body slightly.
As she moved, she paid attention to Huo Xunzhou’s reaction.
Great, Huo Xunzhou did not react at all and was not woken up by her.
Lin Shanchu became bolder and flipped over.
Unexpectedly, just as she stretched her arm out from under the blanket, the man’s sleepy voice came from above her head.
“Can’t sleep?”
Lin Shanchu froze.
Why was Huo Xunzhou such a light sleeper?
She was already very careful. Why was he still awake?
Did he pretend to be asleep again?
If he knew that she really had insomnia, he would definitely laugh at her.
Huo Xunzhou seemed to know what she was thinking. “If you have insomnia, so be it. I won’t laugh at you.”
After he finished speaking, he caressed her face in the darkness and accurately found her lips to kiss her.
It was a light kiss with a comforting nature.
Huo Xunzhou did not move away after the kiss. Instead, he pressed his lips against hers and asked, “Were you thinking about Tang Qidai?”
When he spoke, his breath landed on Lin Shanchu’s lips, melting her heart.
She asked softly, “How did you know?”
“Tang Qidai is different from the others who have a grudge against you,” Huo Xunzhou said softly. “She has a deeper influence on you than you think.” Lin Shanchu always had a lot on her mind.
Back in Xu City, the matter between Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai seemed to have come to an end, but in fact, she thought it was not over yet.
Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai were her incurable illnesses.
Even if Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai were dead, she would not recover immediately and her wound would only slowly scab over.
Healing required a long recuperation process.
Lin Shanchu needed time, but she also needed him.
Therefore, he needed to settle his own matters as soon as possible.
That was why he changed his strategy and chose to return to the Huo family’s old mansion to keep an eye on Huo Zhuxiu.
He had tried all the roundabout methods.
He only wanted to get it done quickly.
Lin Shanchu thought that Huo Xunzhou had a point. Compared to the others, she hated Tang Qidai and Lu Shiyuan the most.
She did not even hate Cheng Fanjing, who was always picking on her.
Lin Shanchu complained softly, “If I had known this earlier, I would have listened to you and not looked at my phone.”
“I’ll chat with you,” Huo Xunzhou said as he patted her head.
In fact, she would certainly have insomnia tonight even if she did not look at her phone before going to bed.
‘Mm,” Lin Shanchu replied lazily.
“On New Year’s Eve, everyone in the family will give you red packets, except for Yun Wu, who is younger than you.” Huo Xunzhou’s soft voice was magnetic and pleasant.
Lin Shanchu was elated when she heard the red packets.
“Without me, you’d be the youngest in the family besides Yun Wu. They gave vou red packets in the Dast vears, right?”
“Yun Wu gave me a red packet when I celebrated the New Year with them last year.”
After hearing what Huo Xunzhou said, Lin Shanchu remembered that he had only returned to the Huo family for less than two years. However, it was best not to mention the Huo family at this time.
What a killjoy.
She asked Huo Xunzhou, “You didn’t accept Yun Wu’s red packet too, did you?”
Huo Xunzhou replied calmly, “I did.”
“How could you be like this?” “That’s Yun Wu’s kind intention. Why couldn’t I accept it?”
“Who gave the biggest red packet?”
“Grandfather, he gave me a house.”
“A house?” Lin Shanchu thought that the red packet would only contain money or checks.
It was true that she had seen too little of the world.
“Big Brother gave me a car.”
“What did Yun Jin give you?” Lin Shanchu was a little numb.
“Why did you specifically ask about him?”
“I think he probably gave the least.”
Upon hearing her words, Huo Xunzhou chuckled, “On the contrary, he gave the most in terms of number.”
“What did he give?”
“He blew up a bunch of my anti-fans’ accounts and even gave me a box of shopping cards from various stores.”
Huo Xunzhou seemed to find it very interesting. As he spoke, his voice carried a hint of laughter.
After hearing those words, Lin Shanchu laughed. “It does sound like Yun Jin’s style.”
Yun Jin looked like he had gone crazy from poverty, but he was quite willing to spend money on Huo Xunzhou.
“I haven’t used up the shopping cards he gave me yet.” The smile in Huo Xunzhou’s voice did not fade.
Lin Shanchu laughed out loud.
She found the people and events in the Yun family very interesting, so she pestered Huo Xunzhou to continue talking about the Yun family.
In fact, Huo Xunzhou had not spent much time with the Yun family in the past two years, but when he mentioned it, he realized that there were a lot of things to talk about.
He spoke softly, calming her heart with his deep and gentle voice.
Lin Shanchu began to feel sleepy after listening to the story for a while.
She forced herself to listen for a while, but she could not hold back her sleepiness and finally fell asleep..
