"If you’re not going to choose, let me help." Mrs. Huo said, "How about this one?"
As Xia Shi looked at the strings of the lingerie, she quickly waved her hand, "No, choose another."
At Mrs. Huo’s insistence, Xia Shi chose a black sexy underwear. Her skin was fair, and the black color made her look even more beautiful and fair-skinned.
With the addition of some lights, she would be a true goddess.
Mrs. Huo was very satisfied, "You do have an eye for things, let’s go with this one."
Xia Shi quickly handed the lingerie to the clerk, "Wrap this up for me."
After receiving her purchase and paying, Xia Shi hurriedly left Mrs. Huo.
Just as she reached the door, she bumped into Xia Jingtian.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" Xia Shi was surprised but secretly delighted.
Just as expected, her brother was the best, coming right after she called.
"Just out to buy some stuff." Xia Jingtian took a glance at Xia Shi before turning to greet Mrs. Huo.
"My, it’s been a while, why don’t you come over for dinner?" Mrs. Huo warmly invited him.
Because of Xia Shi, she couldn’t bear to dislike Xia Jingtian.
After all, she had watched Xia Jingtian grow up.
"No, I have other arrangements. I’ll treat you to dinner some other time, Auntie Huo." Xia Jingtian gently declined Mrs. Huo’s invitation.
He walked over to Xia Shi and cautioned her, "You’ve just recovered, don’t overdo it."
"I won’t." Xia Shi hid her hands behind her back.
Xia Jingtian, still worried, gave a few more words of caution. While Mrs. Huo was not looking, he slipped something into Xia Shi’s hand.
Once she had the item, Xia Shi didn’t linger. She quickly took Mrs. Huo’s arm and left.
Mrs. Huo had an apologetic look, "I’m sorry for calling you out so early. If I’d known your brother was coming, I wouldn’t have interrupted your reunion."
Xia Shi rarely got to see Xia Jingtian, yet their bond was deep. When Xia Jingtian came home, she would always stick to him.
"Auntie Huo, your visit is rare, my brother can’t compare to your importance." Xia Shi smoothed over the situation sweetly.
Mrs. Huo was very pleased.
"You always know just what to say. Let’s hurry back and get ready, Little Han will be home soon."
Mrs. Huo took Xia Shi back to the villa. After hastily eating something, Xia Shi lay in bed anticipating Jun Mochan’s arrival.
Thanks to Mrs. Huo, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to enter the villa.
Looking at the slowly closing door, Xia Shi smirked triumphantly.
She sprinkled the item Xia Jingtian brought her into a flower pot.
Upon contact with water, the medicinal powder emitted a faint fragrance.
It was a drug she had made herself, dissolving instantly upon contact with water. Once inhaled, one would lose all strength.
Xia Shi preemptively took some antidote to avoid being incapacitated before Jun Mochan’s arrival.
Smelling the fragrance in the air, expectation glistened in Xia Shi’s eyes. She was eager to see Jun Mochan reduced to an infatuated state.
Truth be told, she had fantasized about this scene countless times. Today, it was finally going to be realized.
After getting everything prepared, Jun Mochan returned to the villa around ten o’clock.
Without Ye Ranran around, he didn’t really want to return home.
Without her, the entire villa felt desolate, his heart felt empty as well.
Lying alone in that big bed every night, he could not help thinking about her, thinking until his liver hurt, and then he could not sleep anymore.
If it were not for Mrs. Huo’s visit tonight, he would have returned home at midnight as he had been doing recently.
Despite how busy he was, he still couldn’t stop thinking about Ye Ranran.
