Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Cheng Fanjing looked at Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou’s faces in one sweeping glance.

The two of them looked indifferent, as if they did not want to talk to each other.

In the end, Huo Xunzhou took the initiative to speak.

“How’s work?” he asked Lin Shanchu.

His tone was cold and distant. It was not even a greeting, and it seemed a little perfunctory.

Cheng Fanjing curled her lip in disdain.

From her point of view, Huo Xunzhou’s attitude towards Lin Shanchu was normal. She did not know what was wrong with Huo Chaosheng as he kept hanging out with Lin Shanchu.

Lin Shanchu glanced at Huo Xunzhou expressionlessly before she turned to

look at Huo Chaosheng with a smile.

“Thanks to Chaosheng’s care, my work went well.”

Lin Shanchu’s voice was soft and carried an ambiguous atmosphere.

Huo Chaosheng, who was so bored that he could only drink water, choked on water.

Looking at Lin Shanchu in disbelief, he a had look on his face that he thought she was crazy.

Huo Xunzhou played with the glass in front of him as his deep eyes looked calm.

“Is that so?” His tone was unusually casual, but Lin Shanchu’s heart skipped a beat for some reason.

As a veteran of brother complex, Huo Chaosheng was sensitive to Huo Xunzhou’s emotional changes.

He thought that Huo Xunzhou’s emotional changes was because of his frequent interactions with the “bad woman”, Lin Shanchu, so he quickly changed the topic. “Third Brother, order some dishes. You haven’t been back to Capital City for a long time. There are new dishes here recently…’

He fawningly handed the menu to Huo Xunzhou.

Huo Xunzhou’s attention seemed to have been diverted. He took the menu and started reading it seriously.

“Mr. Huo, it’s rare for you to come back. How about a drink?” Cheng Fanjing asked as she flipped through the menu, but before Huo Xunzhou responded to her, he already gestured for the waiter to come over.

Huo Xunzhou looked up at her and said, “Please go ahead, Miss Cheng.”

Cheng Fanjing smiled perfunctorily and turned to talk to the waiter.

Lin Shanchu glanced at Cheng Fanjing coldly.

Cheng Fanjing’s words and actions from the moment she sat down until now seemed polite and fautless, but Lin Shanchu could feel her dislike and disdain for Huo Xunzhou.

When she heard Huo Chaosheng say that Cheng Fanjing despised Huo Xunzhou, she found it interesting and strange.

However, Lin Shanchu did not feel good after witnessing it with her own eyes.

Cheng Fanjing was an eyesore to her now.

What was so great about Cheng Fanjing? What right did she have to look down on Huo Xunzhou?

At this moment, she felt a warm touch on her hand. She subconsciously looked down and saw that her hand under the table being held by a large hand.

Cheng Fanjing turned around and glanced at Lin Shanchu.

How strange. She clearly sensed that Lin Shanchu was looking at her just now, but now Lin Shanchu was lowering her head intently while doing something.

Could it be an illusion?

Lin Shanchu was not in the mood to care about Cheng Fanjing.

She looked up at Huo Xunzhou.

Huo Xunzhou calmly flipped through the menu with one hand, looking extremely serious.

This man did not tell her that he had returned to Capital City and even wanted to secretly hold her hand. Dream on!

Lin Shanchu secretly gathered strength and pulled her hand out when Huo Xunzhou was not paying attention.

Bang!

Almost at the same time she exerted force, Huo Xunzhou let go of his hand.

Lin Shanchu used too much force and hit the table, making a dull thud.

The other three looked at her in unison.

“What are you doing?” Huo Chaosheng asked her speechlessly.

“What’s wrong?” Huo Xunzhou asked innocently with a slight frown.

Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Xunzhou and smiled kindly. “I’m a little hungry. My

hands are shaking.”

Huo Xunzhou closed the menu and instructed the waiter, “That’s all. Please serve the dishes quickly.”

Speechless, Lin Shanchu gritted her teeth.

The dishes were served quickly.

After the waiter opened the bottle of wine, Huo Xunzhou asked him to pour three glasses.

Holding the wine glass, Huo Chaosheng looked at Huo Xunzhou and stuttered, “Third Brother… I’ll just drink a little…”

Huo Xunzhou reached for his glass and poured some wine into it.

Just as the wine covered the bottom of the glass, Huo Xunzhou stopped and handed the glass back to Huo Chaosheng.

Holding back his rage, Huo Chaosheng took it and said, “Thank you, Third Brother. ”

Then, Huo Xunzhou filled his glass to the brim. He raised the glass and said solemnly to Cheng Fanjing, “Miss Cheng, Chaosheng did something inappropriate this time. I apologize to you on his behalf.”

After Huo Xunzhou finished speaking, he raised his head and downed a large glass of wine in one gulp.

Lin Shanchu’s expression instantly changed.

She had never bullied Huo Xunzhou like this. Who was Cheng Fanjing to deserve such a humble apology from Huo Xunzhou?

“Third Brother!” shouted Huo Chaosheng with a grimace.

Huo Xunzhou raised an empty glass to Cheng Fanjing with one hand and held Lin Shanchu down under the table with his other hand, as if he was trying to comfort her. contemporary romance

Lin Shanchu clenched her fists tightly. As her face darkened, she turned her head and looked out the window to hold back her anger.

Cheng Fanjing remained silent. It was obvious that it was insufficient to make amends to her by drinking a glass of wine and making an apology.

Huo Chaosheng’s face suddenly turned cold as he said, “Cheng Fanjing, I was the one who snatched your clothes. Come at you if you have problem with me. Why are you humiliating my Third Brother?”

Cheng Fanjing shouted angrily, “Huo Chaosheng, watch your mouth! I didn’t force Huo Xunzhou to apologize to me, but Uncle Huo asked him to apologize to me on your behalf!”

“Alright!” Huo Chaosheng snorted and poured himself a full glass of wine. “Is this glass of wine enough? If it is not enough, I can keep drinking.”

At this moment, Lin Shanchu suddenly stood up and snatched the wine bottle over. Then, she raised her head and drank the rest of the wine.

“Lin Shanchu!” Huo Xunzhou’s expression changed slightly.

Lin Shanchu leaned over and slammed the empty bottle in front of Cheng Fanjing. After that, she placed her hands on the table and stared at Cheng Fanjing.

“Cheng Fanjing, if you don’t like me, just be direct and come at me. Don’t be a coward, and don’t vent your anger on other people. That’s something only incompetent cowards would do.”

The woman in front of her had a pair of cat-like pure eyes. There was nothing in her eyes, but they felt sharp for some reason.

Cheng Fanjing felt a chill run down her spine and shortness of breath, as if her throat was being strangled by this bizzare and cold gaze.

Cheng Fanjing finally breathed a sigh of relief after Lin Shanchu backed away.

“I don’t even know who you are. I don’t understand what you’re saying at all! The friendship between Cheng family and the Huo family has lasted for generations. It’s not up to an outsider like you to interfere in our families’ matters!”

Cheng Fanjing raised her voice exasperatedly, relying on her rationality to maintain the last bit of calmness.

Lin Shanchu had drunk so much wine in one go that she was starting to feel uncomfortable.

Huo Xunzhou was angry and distressed. He turned to look at Cheng Fanjing with a stern gaze.

“Miss Cheng, Miss Lin is Chaosheng’s friend and my sister. She’s not an outsider..”
