The man was wearing a white shirt without a tie and black suit pants. His shirt was unbuttoned at the collar and his sleeves were rolled up halfway, exposing an expensive branded watch on his wrist. His style of dressing was casual, but he exuded an aura of power and nobility.

“Ah Shen?” Huo Qinyu’s voice suddenly rang out as she asked in confusion, “Why are you here?”

As soon as he heard that name, Xing Yuyun swung around.

To his displeasure, the man standing in the hallway really was Huo Jingshen. His eyes narrowed and he clenched his fists tightly.

Huo Qinyu was very surprised. If she remembered correctly, Huo Jingshen had returned to China not too long ago. The Huo family had never been close to the Su family before this, so he could not possibly know anyone from the Su family, right?

Could he be here for Xing Guozhi?

However, Xing Guozhi also looked perplexed.

Huo Jingshen had already taken off his shoes and was slowly walking into the living room. He glanced at the newspaper on the table, and there was a brief flash of emotion in his eyes. However, as soon as he raised his head, he was back to his usual charming self.

“Hello, Grandpa Su.” He nodded as he greeted the old man in the wheelchair politely.

Huo Qinyu helped make the introductions. “Uncle, this is Ah Shen, my elder brother’s son. He returned from Y Country not too long ago.”

“The eldest young master of the Huo family.” Su Xueqin nodded as he said, “We have met in the hospital before.”

Right after his operation, Old Mistress Huo had brought a few of her relatives to pay him a visit at the hospital. Huo Jingshen had been among them.

Although Huo Jingshen did not talk much compared to the others, he had left a deep impression on the old man.

Huo Qinyu finally came to the conclusion that Huo Jingshen was here to visit Su Xueqin who had just been discharged from the hospital.

She had no idea how wrong she was.

“Wanwan, did you lose something?” As soon as the words left Huo Jingshen’s mouth, everyone but Xing Yuyun reacted as if they had just seen an alien.

Su Wanwan was horrified. She did not expect this shameless man to actually come all the way to her house! She hadn’t even settled the score with him for the hospital incident, and yet he dared refer to her so intimately?

He really was shameless!

“Wanwan?” Huo Jingshen called out again with a faint smile, eyes gleaming at her inability to speak.

Su Wanwan gritted her teeth and glared at him angrily, but refused to say anything.

Su Xueqin could not help but ask, “Young Master Huo, do you know my granddaughter?”

Why hadn’t he heard Wanwan mention him before?

Huo Jingshen simply hummed slightly, seemingly distracted as he said, “We played until it was too late in the club last night, and she accidentally left her cell phone with me.”

Everyone was silent as they processed his statement.

The club?

Played?

Too late?

She had even left such an important belonging with him, so that could only mean that the relationship between the both of them…

Huo Jingshen raised his left hand under everyone’s watchful gaze.

There was a small pink cell phone lying in the palm of his hand.

Su Wanwan’s eyes widened. It really was her cell phone! She had bought that pink phone casing together with her friends.

She walked over to him and reached out to take her cell phone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she held her cell phone, the man’s fingers suddenly pressed down, enveloping her small hand and her phone.

Su Wanwan felt the warmth of his hand, and memories of what happened between the both of them at the hospital flooded her mind.

Her cheeks started to feel hot and she instantly ducked her head as she tried to pull her hand away.

However, her attempts to free her hand were unsuccessful.

Huo Jingshen looked like he was not using any strength at all to hold her hand, but she could not withdraw her hand at all.

Compared to the flustered Su Wanwan, Huo Jingshen was calm and composed, his lips curved into an amused smile.

It looked like a thousand-year-old fox watching a little fox struggling in its grasp, but the little fox could not escape no matter how hard it tried.

…

Su Wanwan wanted to yell at him.

Before she could use her other hand, Huo Jingshen finally let go.

Su Wanwan was relieved and tried to press the buttons on her cell phone, only to realize that her cell phone battery had already died.

“Be more careful with your belongings in the future.” The man’s deep voice sounded again. He was close, and his low murmur sounded very intimate.

After that, Huo Jingshen reached out and stroked the top of her head gently twice.

Damn it!

The corner of Su Wanwan’s mouth twitched slightly.

Was this man treating her like a monkey?

If it weren’t for the Xing family members being here, and that he had just helped her out of an awkward situation, she would never have allowed him to act so presumptuously!

She raised her head to meet his eyes, conveying all her rage in her icy glare. He merely gazed back at her calmly, that infuriatingly serene smile on his face.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, their interaction seemed more like a public display of affection.

Xing Yuyun’s expression turned even more ghastly, and he could no longer sit still.
