The light from the car headlights was so blinding that Huo Wu couldn’t even keep her eyes open.
The truck drove on with heavy sounds as if it were coming directly for her.
Huo Wu’s hand subconsciously let loose of the lipstick, which fell down onto the driver’s seat and left a light mark.
***
The atmosphere was quite heated and lively at the charity dinner.
However, the atmosphere at the corner where Huo Yusen and the others were standing around was particularly quiet with awkwardness.
Recognizing what he had done, Shen Yu swallowed hard awkwardly. He really just couldn’t control himself when he saw that lipstick stain on Huo Yusen’s shirt. His loud curse was purely out of reflex and subconsciously pointed at the flirtatious mark.
Who would have expected such a surprise from the reserved Mr. Huo? He was usually so cold and distant toward women, so the mark on his shirt really made them have some wild imaginations of what happened.
If he wasn’t the one to allow it, then there would be no woman who would be able to get close to him. So close to the point of arrogantly leaving her mark on him.
Shen Yu covered his mouth and coughed a bit. No matter what, he had to warm up the mood since he was the one who caused the awkward silence. “Brother Huo… How about you explain what’s going on with that mark?”
Chu Xueyi opened her eyes widely, and her face turned pale waiting for Huo Yusen’s explanation.
Huo Yusen lowered his head and looked at the conspicuous lipstick stain in front of his chest. Recounting what happened earlier at home, the stain probably got on his shirt by accident when Huo Wu hugged him. He was originally going to explain that his sister was being naughty, but when he saw the change of expressions on Chu Xueyi’s face—from shock to sadness, then from sadness to hopeful expectation for an explanation—he changed his mind.
With his background, to others, his future wife would probably be of the same class as him. Grandpa Huo liked Chu Xueyi a lot, and even Huo Yusen had to admit her excellence. But whether or not a person was outstanding was not what he will be considering in his future partner. Not even the class of the person will be of consideration.
He didn’t have any feelings towards Chu Xueyi. Just like what he told his grandpa, he only thought of her as a younger sister next door, and that’s all. And the only person who he had fluttering feelings for was also his sister; not the one next door, but his “biological” sister.
Even though they were not related by blood at all, it would be tremendously hard for him to take a step forward.
If he gets any closer to her, it would definitely cause the peacefulness to collapse.
And that was not what she wanted to see.
She told him before that she wanted things to stay the same, where they will still have such a great relationship, and the family was happy and peaceful.
But, since there was no way he will be with Chu Xueyi, why doesn’t he take the chance to destroy all her hopes?
Huo Yusen adjusted his thoughts, looked up, and then asked indifferently, “What is there to explain?”
Shen Yu couldn’t help but curse again after hearing this.
This meant he admitted it right? He admitted that he had a woman!
Damn, his brother Huo.
Shen Yu went closer to Huo Yusen and asked with a gossipy look on his face, “Who is it, brother Huo? Let your bros meet her too.” He wanted to see who this woman was and how capable she was to take over Huo Yusen’s heart and make him lower himself from his pedestal.
Huo Yusen had a cold look on his face. He lowered his eyes and organized his sleeves. “We’ll see.”
After this sentence, Chu Xueyi was already about to cry.
She had been working so hard to improve herself all these years so she could be a good match for him.
She thought it wasn’t too late yet, since she had never heard of any other woman hovering around Huo Yusen. But now, she just felt that she had been slapped in the face by reality; all she knew at the moment was that she couldn’t stay here any longer.
