This was the first time Huo Wu heard such a long sentence coming from Huo Yusen.
She blinked her eyes in confusion.
The questions Huo Yusen asked today made her extremely confused.
What did he mean by “so you are very satisfied with your life and me right now, and want to be my sister forever?”
Huo Wu leaned closer to Huo Yusen, baffled. She looked into his deep dark eyes and asked softly, “Big brother, what are you talking about? Why don’t I understand what you’re saying?” As she talked, she put her hands on his hands and shook them whiningly.
Huo Yusen stared into the clear and innocent eyes of hers.
There was some confusion in there, but there was more of her reliance on him.
She didn’t know anything yet.
She didn’t know that she wasn’t actually a part of the Huo family and that she had no actual connections to any of the family members. She also didn’t know that she was not related to him by blood at all.
She had no idea of her true identity.
If he exposed the truth just for his own selfish desires, wouldn’t it be hurtful for her?
She was just about to turn 18.
She hadn’t had her 18th birthday yet, so she was still a minor.
Moreover, she was satisfied with her current life. And as the little princess of the Huo family, she had been living a happy life.
If he cruelly ripped away the illusions of her life as of now, he didn’t know if she would be able to handle it.
He could have just kept things as how they were, just like when he first learned about the truth: pretend as if nothing had happened. But because now certain desires had been growing inside of him, he couldn’t help but ask those questions tentatively.
After learning she wasn’t his biological sister, he allowed her to get closer to him.
And the consequence of that was the uncontrolled feelings that had been emerging within him.
Huo Wu was getting nervous as she still didn’t get a response from Huo Yusen.
The look in his eyes was too complicated to understand.
Huo Wu shook Huo Yusen’s hand intimately again.
She thought she hadn’t flattered him enough or she wasn’t being genuine enough. So after thinking about it for a bit, she tightened her lips and said again seriously, “Big brother, I’m very happy right now. Dad and you are both very nice to me. I want things to be this way forever.”
After Huo Wu finished her sentence, Huo Yusen finally responded. His voice was deep and attractive like jades clinking against each other. He repeated her final words, “You want things to be this way forever?”
Huo Wu nodded her head hard. “Right, like how things are right now.”
Not having her true identity exposed.
Not being kicked out of the Huo family.
And not having to deal with Jiang Yuqin’s revenge.
The current state was enough for her: everything was peaceful and happy with Huo Yusen accompanying her.
Huo Wu wasn’t a greedy person. She was satisfied with how things were as of now as she didn’t dare to wish for more.
Huo Yusen took a long look at Huo Wu and confirmed that every one of her sentences was genuine. He looked away, and replied to her, “Ok.”
He would fulfill every one of her wishes.
And those wishes naturally included the one she was hoping for right now.
If this was what she wanted, then he would do so.
It shouldn’t be hard for him to keep things as they were now, as his feelings for her had not yet become too unmanageable .

The days of the first lunar month went by as quickly as a rocket ship. It was already the 14th day of the New Year.
Tomorrow would be the 15th and the last day of the first lunar month.
Ever since Huo Wu was cast in the movie Throbbing, she pretty much had half-entered the entertainment industry. As a result, she had her own ways of getting news as well.
Just a moment ago, she heard from someone in the industry that Jiang Yuqin got a main female role for a show. Although this wasn’t announced to the public yet, it had pretty much been confirmed.
The character Jiang Yuqin got was naturally hers in her past life as well. But in the past life, Mo Ze was the one who helped her get the role. However, it didn’t appear so in this life.
