MainNovelChapter 692: 433 Ashamed to the point of wishing to faint, you care about me! (2 more Chapters) _3
Her rental room was so small that she had barely taken two steps when, in the next instant, her arm was pulled
and tugged. By the tshe realized what was happening, her back was against the wall, with half of her body
already enveloped in his embrace.
The man’s fingertips were rough as they grasped her wrist, gently caressing it, eliciting a sensation both ticklish
and numbing.
"That... that wasn’t mine!" Shen Shuci was on the verge of tears—what kind of situation was this?
"You watched it," he said with certainty. Since that video link appeared in her media player, she must have
watched it.
She didn’t know what it was and had just clicked on it, never anticipating... Ruan Mengxi, you're truly going to be
the death of me.
"In your eyes, am | that disgraceful? So much that you don’t want Xiaowu and the others to see me?"
Shen Shuci’s face turned crimson as she slightly averted her gaze, "The situation is complicated; | didn’t mean to
have you deliberately hide... nor do I think you're disgraceful."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThinking about how unhappy he was about the situation today, Shen Shuci wanted to explain, but the entire
story seemed to need to start with her nearly falling from a horse and injuring her hand, leaving her momentarily
at a loss for words.
"Because when you were looking forbefore, | lied to Wanwan, and they have no idea about you and me... |
also don’t know how to tell them, so..."
Huo Qinqi listened for a while but only uttered four words:
"You care about me!"
"|..." Shen Shuci’s pupils dilated slightly as she met his gaze, her heart racing once again.
Her willingness to explain definitely meant she cared.
As their eyes met again, she was visibly flustered, and just as he leaned down towards her, the doorbell rang...
Like a startled crow flapping its wings from the branches for no reason, the sound abruptly shattered the
intimate atmosphere. Shen Shuci hastily pushed him away and opened the door—turns out it was the delivery.
"Miss, good evening, your delivery has arrived," the delivery guy said with a smile.
"Thank you."
The guy smiled at her, about to remind her to give a five-star review, but suddenly confronted another pair of
eyes inside the room and shrank back, meekly saying, "Enjoy your meal!"
He fled the building like escaping from something, mounted his electric scooter, and quickly left the residence,
still frightened by the intensity of the man’s gaze.
Nevertheless, Huo Qingi seemed to have a particularly enjoyable dinner, knowing at least that Shen Shuci cared
about him and didn’t reject his closeness, even after an awkward little incident. Relationships between people
always seemed to work that way—a secret known only between the two could mystically change the dynamic...
In any case, the atmosphere between them had becincreasingly different.
The Huo Family had thought that after today’s "ambush," their Patriarch might be unhappy and that they should
brace for a potential storm.
Unexpectedly, the person returning from Shen Shuci’s place was in an unexpectedly good mood.
Seeing his good spirits, the Huo Family members comfortably went to sleep, only to be awakened in the middle
of the night by the sound of fighting in the courtyard. Being very alert, most awoke instantly.
"Damn it, who's not sleeping in the middle of the night!" If it had been an outsider, the family dogs would surely
bark, but since the dogs were silent, it had to be someone from within the household.
"What's going on in the yard at this ungodly hour?"
"I'm going to see which scoundrel it is..."
Sgot up angrily, only to discover Huo Qingi hammering away at several wooden stakes in the yard.
Seeing them cout, he even glanced over, "Why aren't you all asleep? What are you doing out here?"
"Patriarch, why aren’t you sleeping this late? What are you doing?"
The Huo Family approached with simmering anger, only to deflate immediately upon seeing who was in the yard.
"Can't sleep."
"Heh, then you continue..."
Exhaling puffs of air, they exchanged glances, "What exactly did Miss Shen do to him? To be so agitated in the
middle of the night?"
"How would | know? Anyway, his mood was good today."
"His mood is good, yet he doesn’t sleep at night! I'm dying of sleepiness here, and he’s bursting with energy."
After practicing in the yard for a while, the man took a cold shower before finally going to bed.
