Capitulo 644: 406 Huo's family cat is very wild, don’t leave, wait forto cback_2

“No, not yet,” Shen Shuci coughed lightly.

The tone of his voice seemed somewhat interrogative, as if she was about to abandon everything and run away.

Shen Shuci’s eyes were slightly lowered, and all she could see was the button on his collar, but she was acutely

aware that he was watching her...

Shen Shuci wasn’t the kind of person who was truly shameless. Such a pose, and his steady gaze, inevitably

made her blush, tightly gripping her phone, “Mr. Huo, it seems like the cat is meowing...”

The kitten was placed to the side, constantly calling out as if protesting its owner's neglect.

Yet Shen Shuci had no idea that her face was flushed with an intoxicating redness, even her voice softer than

usual, the tone carrying a hint of languidness.

She carried a faint scent on her, assaulting Huo Qingi’s senses...

Igniting a fierce blaze within him.

“It will stop meowing after a while.” Huo Qingi was not one to coddle anyone, let alone a cat. He often opted for

a colder approach.

If the cat gets tired of meowing and no one pays attention, it will naturally stop.

“The way you handle it, it's really too pitiful...” Shen Shuci said as she prepared to squeeze past to comfort the

cat.

But he suddenly leaned down, closing the distance between them, their breaths overlapping...

One relaxed, the other tense.

The dim, yellow lighting of the room cast everything in a soft glow, making everything seem boneless and hazy.

Shen Shuci’s face flushed even redder, and it seemed that she suddenly understood what he intended to do

next...

“I don’t know how long I'll be gone this time.”

His voice was thick.

“Ill take good care of...”

Shen Shuci barely finished speaking when he suddenly dove forward, pressing against her, cutting off her almost

uttered word “cat” at the throat.

But she moved quickly, shrinking back to dodge.

He only managed a light brush against her cheek, like a warm breeze wafting past, light and gentle, but the

darkness in his eyes was thick and profound.

“Mr. Huo!” Shen Shuci put up a hand between them, a hint of warning in her tone.

“Have you thought through what | told you last time?” His voice remained cold.

This made Shen Shuci feel that the person who had just indulged himself was not the sman.

Huo Qingi was also a bit surprised by his action. He'd always prided himself on his self-control, but what he did

just then was completely impulsive.

A trace of anger simmered in his eyes.

Shen Shuci didn’t understand what was wrong with him? It was he who had committed that frivolous act, and

she hadn't even slapped him yet, how could he still be angry?

Huo Qingi simply felt he had been too abrupt, but he honestly didn’t know how long he would be away. Perhaps a

couple of days, maybe a few months. If he returned and she had moved out of Hexi...

“Having known each other for so long, are you only willing to call‘Mr. Huo'?”

How did it cback to the matter of what she called him? Shen Shuci subconsciously bit her lip, “Aren’t you

leaving? | think it’s about time...”

Her words were akin to showing him out.

By this time, Shen Shuci didn’t need a mirror to know how red her face was.

Her slender ribs could barely contain her wildly beating heart.

But Huo Qingi was thinking about the matchmaking event a few days earlier, the possibility of her moving out of

Hexi any day, and his own uncertain return. His eyes deepened, and he leaned down...

Shen Shuci had already backed away once; this time, she had no escape!

Within that narrow gap, along with their tangled breaths, his scent of pine woods after snowfall clearly reached

every corner of her.

As she instinctively thought to dodge, a hand tilted her chin, her head pressed against the glass, barely

registering what was happening...

When she was already kissed by him.

Throughout the process, Shen Shuci’s head was in a daze, feeling both their disordered breaths, hot enough as if

to incinerate each other.

It was Huo Qinqi’s first time, clumsy and unpractised. Shen Shuci was both embarrassed and annoyed, and

couldn't hold back. She opened her mouth and bit him hard.

He didn’t make a sound, just letting her bite, until a taste of blood cthrough, and then she released him.

Huo Qingi had by then slightly loosened his hold on her, yet even so, he didn’t let her go completely, tenderly

brushing against the corner of her lip, faintly...

“Huo Qingi,” Shen Shuci’s voice was delicate, seemingly tinged with a hint of grievance.

“Don’t move away, okay?”

“Cats don’t need to be pampered; just take good care of yourself.”

Shen Shuci had said nothing all the while, but Huo Qingi watched her intently for a dozen seconds, then kissed

her forehead—a lot gentler than before.

“Wait forto return.”

Her heartbeat pounded in her ears; his voice was close at hand but seemed so distant it almost felt unreal. She

hung her head, even more unsure of what to say.

Her heart trembled, her face flushed with heat.

Shen Shuci wasn’t quite clear how he had left; by the tshe cto her senses, she was alone in the room

with the cat only.

At that moment, her phone suddenly vibrated, startling her, causing even the cat to arch its back in fright,

“Hello, Dad—" a call from the Shen family patriarch.

Shen Shuci walked into the kitchen; the water was already boiling but he hadn't managed to have a sip.

She poured herself a glass of water and squatted down, gazing at the small cat in front of her.

“Your owner said not to coddle you, not to spoil you...”

“I haven't seen anyone colder or more ruthless than him.”

“Why would someone like him keep you, huh? If he had a kid, would he just let the child cry without comforting

him? Merely letting him wail? A child with such a father would be so pitiable.”

A child? Shen Shuci coughed lightly, refraining from speaking further, just stroking the cat's fur.

She hadn't slept well that night; when she woke up in the morning, her phone had received several messages:

From Huo Qinqi: [I didn’t arrive until 2:15 a.m. last night, didn’t want to disturb you.]

Followed by: [Good morning.]

His messages were stiff and boring.

Shen Shuci pursed her lips, not bothering to reply to him at all.

But Huo Qinqi, after his meeting, still hadn't received a reply from her and stared at his phone incessantly—

As if stare hard enough would bring a reply.

“Auntie, what were you up to last night? You've got such serious dark circles?” Tang Wan looked her over with a

smile.

“I had swork and got a bit busy,” Shen Shuci dared not tell her the truth.

The driver was Jiang Jinsang, who assessed her through the rearview mirror, “Your mental state really isn’t

good.” It was visibly haggard.

“Stayed too busy late, didn’t you rest well?”

“Why do | feel like your lips look kind of...” Tang Wan scrutinized her lips. Shen Shuci rarely wore makeup, not

fond of applying lipstick, usually just smearing slip balm.

“My lips? What's wrong with them?” Shen Shuci felt a vague panic being observed by her.

Besides, which man stares continuously at a woman's lips?

Tang Wan teased with a laugh, “Your lips look really full today, like you had a lip augmentation...”

“Is that so?” Shen Shuci laughed sheepishly.

Still feeling uneasy at heart; Tang Wan was too perceptive, wasn’t she? Shen Shuci had been too distracted and

hadn’t paid much attention.
