Shuxin tried to pull her hand away, but his grip was too tight. Unable to do so, she struggled with all her might. "Let go of me …" she said in an aggrieved voice.
Huo Yanqing pulled Shuxin into his arms. "Xin 'er …"
"Let go of me!" Shuxin struggled in Huo Yanqing's arms. She sounded furious.
"Mm …"
She heard a muffled groan in the air. Then, Huo Yanqing's deep voice rang out beside her ear. "You've pulled on your wound."
Shuxin stopped struggling. She asked anxiously, "Are you alright? Do you need a doctor to take a look? "
"I'll be fine as long as you don't move."
Shuxin could hear the obvious amusement in the man's voice. She knew that she had been fooled. She was even more furious. However, she still cared about the wound on Huo Yanqing's shoulder. She didn't dare to struggle anymore. She only twisted her body slightly and said coldly, "Mr. Huo, please have some self-respect!"
"You're not even calling me Fifth Uncle anymore?" Huo Yanqing smiled affectionately and helplessly. "I'm doing this for your own good. I don't want others to label you as someone who only got the entertainment city project because you climbed into my bed."
Shuxin's body froze. She heard the man's gentle voice again. "You're Shu Youkang's daughter. The people in the company will find out sooner or later."
Shuxin instantly understood what Huo Yanqing meant. If he had protected her openly just now, everyone would definitely speculate about her relationship with Huo Yanqing when they found out about her identity. They would then suspect that there was an inside story behind her signing the contract.
"The Huo Corporation will only be able to find the surface of this matter. After all, we can't enter your father's company, and we only need one day to investigate the surface. I've given you one week, and you can use this one week to go into your father's company to investigate. It's impossible for a purchasing staff to cut corners on such a big project. There must be someone from the top of the company who colluded with them. I've said that if Lankang Company can give a reasonable explanation, the cooperation will continue. You can find out who this person is and push him out to take responsibility, and then the company will be cleared."
Shuxin was in Huo Yanqing's arms. Her head just happened to be pressed against his chest. His deep and steady voice knocked on her heart, giving her an indescribable sense of warmth.
It turned out that under his cold-blooded and heartless appearance, he had been giving her leeway. He even told her how to investigate this matter. In fact, Shuxin already knew that Jiang Tingrou was behind this matter. However, she was very touched by Huo Yanqing's meticulous planning.
A wave of warmth instantly rushed to her heart. Shuxin wanted to hug Huo Yanqing's waist back, but she was too timid to do so. In the end, she could only gently rub her head against his chest. "Thank you."
Huo Yanqing's large hand gently stroked Shuxin's soft and silky hair. "If you need any help, look for Song Li."
"Okay." Shuxin wanted to ask Huo Yanqing why he was so good to her. However, a sentence lingered in her heart for a long time. In the end, she didn't ask.
Last time, when he prepared the office building for her, she mustered up the courage to ask him why he was so good to her. His answer was, "Because you're worth it."
If he liked her, why didn't he say it when she asked?
But if he didn't like her, why was he so good to her?
He was always considerate of her. He hugged her and coaxed her. Weren't these actions only couples would do?
What kind of feelings did he have for her?
