When Huo Guanchen said this, his voice was extremely low and irresistible, as if it could resonate with one's heartbeat.
Those who heard him felt delighted and even trusted him a little more.
Guo Huining was already a chatterbox, and she had a crush on Huo Guanchen. Now that she was bewitched by his voice, it was like a dream.
"… Do you want to know who's behind her?" Guo Huining giggled, as if she had no bones in her body. She fell limply onto Huo Guanchen.
Huo Guanchen still didn't move, but he had crossed his legs at an angle.
His long legs stretched out, naturally separating him from Guo Huining.
Guo Huining was attracted to Huo Guanchen. All she could see was his half-smile. She couldn't fall onto Huo Guanchen, and tripped over the chair. Her legs weakened, and she knelt in front of Huo Guanchen.
She didn't give up. She leaned forward and knelt down, resting her head on Huo Guanchen's knees. She mumbled dreamily, "… Huo … Mr. Huo …"
Huo Guanchen didn't speak for a long time. The room was very quiet, only the flickering candlelight, and the scent of lavender wafting through the room.
Guo Huining had lit scented candles.
Huo Guanchen's eyes flickered, and after a moment, he grunted. He raised a hand and gently touched Guo Huining's hair, then silently retracted it.
Guo Huining's scalp tightened, and she shivered as if she had been electrocuted. Her breathing quickened.
She never knew that the feeling between a man and a woman didn't need to be naked, and didn't need to be drenched in sweat to be intoxicating.
She closed her eyes, sighed contentedly, and said softly, "… I've waited for so long, and it turns out that I was waiting for you."
Huo Guanchen looked down at her, as if he didn't believe her. He snorted, "Weren't you waiting for the person behind Dou Aiyan?"
Guo Huining shook her head, her eyes still closed, "She doesn't know who the person behind her is either. He's always calling her mysteriously, and it's obvious he's using a voice changer. Even that idiot Dou Aiyan thinks it's because it's inconvenient for him to show himself. "
Huo Guanchen laughed, and shook his head lazily, "It's fine if you don't want to tell me, you don't have to brush me off."
"I didn't." Guo Huining panicked. Opening her eyes, she looked up at Huo Guanchen and said anxiously, "I really didn't lie to you! I'm just guessing, the person has been contacting Dou Aiyan on the phone the whole time, doesn't show up, and uses a voice changer. This person must be someone Dou Aiyan knows! "
"Because only familiar people would use these methods to hide their true identity!"
Huo Guanchen was still unmoved. "Oh, is that so?"
He shook his head. "You don't have to say anything. I'm not interested."
He looked at his watch. "It's getting late. I should return to the military compound."
He stood up as he spoke.
Guo Huining was indescribably disappointed.
She knelt on the ground and looked up greedily at Huo Guanchen's tall and burly figure. His handsome face was wrinkled with age.
"… Mr. Huo, don't you want to know who's behind Dou Aiyan?" Guo Huining's eyes sparkled.
Huo Guanchen casually put on his military cap and smiled. "Why should I care about this person?"
"… But you just asked me …" Guo Huining rubbed her temples hesitantly. Was she dreaming? Or was she imagining things?
Her head felt like it weighed a few thousand pounds. She really had too much to drink today. Guo Huining felt like she had a memory lapse.
She couldn't remember what happened more than ten minutes ago.
"… I just wanted to talk to you." Huo Guanchen seemed a bit regretful. "What a pity …"
He didn't say what was a pity or why. He only said those two words before leaving the West Mountain Villa.
Returning to the car and sitting down, the personal secretary in the front seat turned around. "Chief, Guo Huining put medicine in the soup this afternoon, but we changed it. The soup you drank was prepared by us. "
Huo Guanchen asked, "… Then Guo Huining drank the soup she made herself?"
"… Yes … Hehe …" The personal secretary couldn't help but laugh perversely. "But it's okay. Her medicine doesn't do much to women. It just makes her unconscious. "
Huo Guanchen snorted. "… How dare she."
"Actually, you wouldn't eat food cooked by others outside unless we saw the cooking process with our own eyes. Her little tricks won't affect you. "
Huo Guanchen closed his eyes to rest and began to think about what he should get her for her birthday.
Although they were divorced, he still had to show his appreciation for Song Jinning's birthday.
…
The next morning, Guo Huining woke up on the sofa in the dining room to find a blanket draped over her.
Rubbing her head, she felt nauseous from the hangover.
The cook who was making breakfast and the servant who was cleaning also came. They smiled at her and said, "Good morning."
Guo Huining waved her hand and sat up from the sofa with difficulty.
Her legs were numb. This sofa really wasn't a good place to sleep.
Guo Huining suddenly remembered something when she thought of the word "sleep". She looked down at her clothes.
There wasn't much difference from yesterday except that she slept in the wrong position and there were wrinkles on her clothes.
But no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see any evidence of "misbehaving" last night.
No one had touched her …
Guo Huining rubbed her numb legs with mixed feelings.
After sitting for a while, she walked up to her room on the second floor and showered in the bathroom.
As soon as she walked in, she saw her swollen face in the bathroom mirror. She couldn't help but hold her face in horror.
She was glad that Huo Guanchen hadn't stayed over last night. If he had seen her like this, he would definitely have lost interest in her.
Guo Huining shook her head with a bitter smile.
When she was a teenager, she would often stay up all night without sleeping. Her eyes were bright and her skin was glossy.
But now she was 30 years old. The only thing was that she slept in the wrong place at night. Her entire body was exhausted.
The skin on her face was loose and even the wrinkles were showing. It was a terrible sight.
Guo Huining meticulously started her maintenance routine.
She showered, soaked in the bath, applied various skin care essences and lotions, and finally applied a variety of facial masks.
She spent the entire morning in the bathroom before she could finally clean herself up.
She couldn't stay up late anymore.
Guo Huining secretly made up her mind.
It was already noon when she came out of the room. She was about to have lunch when her phone rang again.
She took it out and saw that it was Dou Aiyan's number in the United States.
Guo Huining swiped to answer the call. She was in a good mood, "Aiyan, is that you? You're not asleep yet? "
It should be midnight in the United States at this time.
Dou Aiyan was still recovering from jet lag and didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with Guo Huining. She immediately said excitedly, "Huining, how's it going with General Huo?!"
Guo Huining was stunned, "… What do you mean how's it going?"
"I'm asking if you've had a breakthrough with him!" Dou Aiyan became even more excited, "A friend of mine just met General Huo at the best jewelry store in the capital! What do you think he's doing?! "
"… Doing what?"
"Buying jewelry! I think he's looking at rings! "
No way?!
Guo Huining's heart skipped a beat. She clutched her chest and leaned against the door. She really couldn't breathe.
