"Huh?" Shuxin was confused again. Uncle Wu was acting a little strange today. Why would he ask such a … childish question?
Huo Yanqing's face flashed with embarrassment. He clenched his hand into a fist and coughed softly. "Let's go." He walked towards the door.
Shuxin looked at Huo Yanqing's tall and straight back and frowned. Was she hallucinating? Wasn't Uncle Wu the one who asked that question?
As soon as Shuxin walked out of the villa, she saw the big dog that had bitten her trouser leg was intimately circling around Huo Yanqing. Shuxin was so scared that she wanted to run away. However, her previous experience told her that the more she ran, the more the dog would chase after her. Therefore, she stood there and did not dare to move. She just looked at Huo Yanqing with a frightened face and asked for help. "Uncle Wu … I'm scared …"
"Don't be scared. It doesn't bite." Huo Yanqing stroked the big dog that was sniffing around his leg. There seemed to be a faint smile on his face. His voice was different from his usual indifferent tone. It was tinged with warmth, as if the dog was his family. "Example, don't be so fierce. You'll scare her."
Example tilted her head and rubbed against Huo Yanqing's leg. She made soft and gentle sounds as if she was asking, "Master, am I very obedient like this?"
Huo Yanqing's smile deepened. Shuxin had never seen Huo Yanqing smile like this. His smile was as warm as the winter sun and as colorful as fireworks. This dog must mean a lot to Huo Yanqing.
"The Fifth Lord." Uncle Zhong walked over and was surprised to see Shuxin behind Huo Yanqing. "Who is this girl?"
"A friend." Huo Yanqing patted Example's head gently. "Go over. I'm leaving."
She rubbed her head against Huo Yanqing's body again before she obediently walked to Uncle Zhong's side.
Shuxin was a little surprised. She thought that Huo Yanqing would say that she was Huo Jibai's classmate, or that she was a business partner of his company. She didn't expect that he would define their relationship as friends.
Friends.
Shuxin mulled over these two words in her heart, and the corners of her mouth curled up into an unconscious smile.
Uncle Zhong was equally surprised. Huo Yanqing had never been close to a woman before. When had he ever had a female friend?
Furthermore, he had heard Huo Yanqing telling him not to scare this young lady. His tone … was so gentle that he had never heard it before. He was afraid that this young lady was not a friend, but a girlfriend.
Thinking of this, Uncle Zhong couldn't help looking at Shuxin a little more carefully. The cold temperament of a soldier on his face dissipated and was replaced by a trace of gentleness. He nodded slightly to Shuxin to greet her.
Shuxin smiled and replied, "Hello." Then she followed Huo Yanqing's footsteps forward. When she passed by Example, although she knew that it was very obedient, her fear of dogs still made her uncontrollably lean towards Huo Yanqing's side and tightly grasp his shirt sleeve.
Huo Yanqing's lips curled up into a faint doting smile. He held Shuxin's hand in his palm and said, "Don't be afraid. It's very obedient. You'll slowly fall in love with it in the future."
Fall in love with it? Shuxin hurriedly shook her head in her heart. No, she would never go near a dog again in her life.
Little did she know that in the near future, when Example died, she would hug it and cry more sadly than anyone else.
When Song Li saw Huo Yanqing walking out holding Shuxin's hand, he was no longer surprised. Instead, he was gratified and expectant. He hoped that Shuxin would understand his The Fifth Lord's heart sooner and live happily with The Fifth Lord.
