Chapter 454: Come and Die

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The more Lin Shanchu thought about it, the angrier she got.

Yun Wu had caused her a lot of trouble!

No matter how strong Huo Xunzhou’s heart was, he had the self-esteem that a normal man should have. How could she say such things in front of him?

No wonder Huo Xunzhou was so furious.

Huo Xunzhou silently observed Lin Shanchu’s ever-changing expression. Knowing that he had successfully distracted Lin Shanchu from getting angry at him, he smiled in satisfaction.

Good luck, Yun wu.

He did not do it on purpose.

He just wanted to pacify Lin Shanchu as soon as possible.

Lin Shanchu came to her senses and realized that Huo Xunzhou was looking at her. She then crossed her arms and ordered, “The water is almost full. Carry me over.”

Huo Xunzhou let her do whatever she wanted and obediently carried her over.

When he turned around to turn off the water, Lin Shanchu took off her nightgown and stepped into the bathtub.

Lin Shanchu leaned back against the bathtub in satisfaction and closed her eyes comfortably as the hot water dilated the blood vessels in her body. At this moment, a pair of large hands slowly caressed her shoulders.

“Shall I help you massage your shoulders?”

Lin Shanchu ignored him.

He was so capable last night, and now he was pretending to be her slave. She would not forgive him so easily.

When Huo Xunzhou noticed that Lin Shanchu kept quiet, he knew that she acquiesced to his suggestion.

The hot water made Lin Shanchu feel weak all over and the force on her shoulders was just right. She felt more and more comfortable as she soaked in the water, feeling sleepy again.

Huo Xunzhou checked the water temperature from time to time and woke Lin Shanchu up when he felt that the water was a little cool.

“The water is cool. Stop soaking. After you come out and put on your clothes, we will go downstairs for a meal.”

“Oh.”

When Lin Shanchu heard the word “meal” , she woke up in a daze.

Huo Xunzhou wrapped her in a towel and carried her out to the bed. He then asked her what she wanted to wear. Lin Shanchu said, “Anything that looks nice.” Huo Xunzhou was in a dilemma.

Was there any clothes that she did not look good in?

In the end, Huo Xunzhou gave her a set of bright-colored clothes.

Huo Xunzhou was also from the entertainment industry, so he always had good aesthetics and the clothes he wore looked good.

Lin Shanchu deliberately made things difficult for him and asked, “Do the bright-colored clothes look good?”

“You don’t like them?” Huo Xunzhou asked her good-naturedly.

He previously saw that she was fond of the clothes given by his aunt, so he chose a set of festive clothes for her.

Lin Shanchu snorted coldly. “You think they look good?”

Huo Xunzhou said seriously, “I thought you’d find bright-colored clothes more festive.”

How could a straight man like him know how to dress festively for the New Year?

Lin Shanchu said reluctantly, “Alright.”

Huo Xunzhou knew her well. If she really did not like the clothes, she would not force herself to wear them.

It was because she did not need to be so understanding, gentle and considerate.

Forcing herself?

It did not exist.

“I’m going to take a shower.” Huo Xunzhou did not expose her. He got up and went into the bathroom.

He quickly took a shower, changed his clothes and came out of the bathroom.

Lin Shanchu was still straightening her clothes in front of the mirror.

Huo Xunzhou gave her an inner dress with a high neckline that could cover the marks on her neck, but it was a little uncomfortable.

It had been a long time since she had worn clothes with such a high neckline.

“Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Huo Xunzhou asked as he noticed that she was adjusting her collar.

Huo Xunzhou was standing behind Lin Shanchu. She looked at him in the mirror and replied indifferently, “Yes!”

“Change into another one.” “I can’t hide the marks if I change into another one!”

“Cover it with makeup.”

She was speechless. He knew quite a lot!

It was almost 12:00 p.m. when the two of them packed up and went downstairs.

Yun Yi had already left for luncheon.

Yun Wu and Yun Jin dozed off on the sofa while waiting for them.

Li MO ran to the kitchen from time to time to see if lunch was ready. He kept thinking about the two people upstairs, who had not eaten breakfast in the morning, would definitely be hungry when they woke up later.

When Li MO came back from the kitchen, he saw Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu coming downstairs.

He was a martial artist, so he spoke loudly. Yun Jin and Yun Wu, who were sleeping on the sofa beside him, were woken up by him.

“Third brother, Shanshan…” Yun Wu turned to look at Lin Shanchu and found her staring at her with an unfriendly expression.

Yun Wu swallowed guiltily. “I’ll go to the kitchen to see if lunch is ready.”

“It’s 11:50 a.m.” Yun Jin looked at the clock beside him and said, “Tch, you two are really heavy sleepers.”

Lin Shanchu did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that there was a hidden meaning behind his words.

However, the fact that she and Huo Xunzhou slept in until noon did seem to raise suspicion.

She put on a cold face and ignored Yun Jin, walking straight to the dining room.

Huo Xunzhou, who was left behind, met Yun Jin’s meaningful gaze and said slowly, “Shut up.”

“Everyone knows. What’s the point of telling me to shut up?” Yun Jin stared at Huo Xunzhou as if he was watching a good show.

But soon, he could no longer smile.

Huo Xunzhou tilted his head slightly and made a throat-slitting gesture.

Yun Jin dared not laugh with a stiffened expression.

Other people might be acting cool by making the throat-slitting gesture, but it was not necessarily the case for Huo Xunzhou. He felt that Huo Xunzhou was capable of anything.

Yun Jin calmed down and took out his phone to hide his fear, pretending that he had not said anything just now.

Huo Xunzhou left in relief.

Yun Jin peeked at his back and quickly turned on the family group chat.

Slacker Second Brother: [Zhouzhou and Shanshan are awake! They went downstairs just now!]

His mother insisted that he change his nickname to this one.

What was the difference between “Slacker” and “Troublemaker”?

Patriarch Yun was the first to reply: [Hurry up and let them eat lunch. They must be starving. Lunch should be ready in the kitchen soon.]

Madam Yun: [Yeah.]

Retired President: [Yeah.]

Retired President’s Wife: [Yeah.]

Patriarch Yun and Madam Yun were really worried that Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou would starve without breakfast.

Successful But Wifeless Eldest Brother: [@Shanshan]

Slacker Second Brother:

How could he forget that Lin Shanchu was also in the group chat?!

Shanshan: [Thank you for your concern, everyone. I’m having lunch. Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, and Big Brother, please enjoy your meal outside.

[well -behaved.jpg]]

Everyone: [We’re having lunch right now.]

Shanshan: [@Slacker Second Brother, Second Brother, why don’t you come to the dining room to have lunch?]

Yun Jin felt guilty and anxious. He hurriedly typed to reply to her that he was not hungry.

However, he saw another message sent by Lin Shanchu right after he finished editing his reply.

[Don’t tell me you’re not hungry. Yun Wu said that you had breakfast before 8:00 a.m. It’s almost 12:00 p.m. now. How can you not be hungry?]

Yun Jin was cornered.

He could not escape even ne wantecl to.

He walked to the entrance of the dining room and sneakily stood by the door to look inside. Lin Shanchu happened to look over and met his gaze.

“Second Brother, come and eat lunch.” Lin Shanchu smiled at him. Yun Jin just fearfully heard she say, “Second Brother, come and die..”
