"You said that if I ever needed your help in the future, you would do anything to repay me for saving your life."
Shuxin was speechless. Was that a vow? She had clearly said that in a huff.
If Huo Yanqing hadn't caught her in time to avoid the cement falling from the ceiling of the tunnel, she might have lost her life. It was a fact that he had saved her life, so she should repay him.
Shuxin made a vow this time. "Fifth Uncle, if you ever need my help, just let me know. I'll definitely help."
"Okay." Huo Yanqing's lips curled into a faint smile. He seemed to be very satisfied with Shuxin's attitude of keeping her word. However, what he said next shocked Shuxin.
He said, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
Shuxin's heart pounded like a drum. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She thought that she must have misheard him. Her little mouth trembled as she asked, "Fifth Uncle … What … What did you say?"
"My mom is anxious to have a daughter-in-law. I promised to bring her to see her tonight. Can you be my girlfriend for the night?" Huo Yanqing's deep voice sounded faintly disappointed.
So he was pretending for the night?
It couldn't be true!
Shuxin's throbbing and ecstasy instantly faded and was replaced by endless disappointment. She said in a low voice, "Okay."
…
Family Huo's Old Residence — Tingzhu Villa
Shuxin and Huo Yanqing got out of the car together. Huo Yanqing tilted his head and asked Shuxin, "Are you nervous?"
Shuxin answered truthfully, "A little."
Huo Yanqing reached out and held Shuxin's fair hand in his. "I'm here. Don't be nervous."
Shuxin's gaze lingered on their intertwined hands for a second. She suppressed the throbbing in her heart and softly said, "Okay."
Shuxin had been to Tingzhu Villa once. That time, Huo Jibai had injured his hand because of her and was punished by Huo Yanqing. She had come to plead for mercy. She had been in a hurry and had only gone to Huo Yanqing's residence.
This time, Huo Yanqing took her to a different route, but the buildings along the way were just as dazzling.
Just like Huo Yanqing's residence, after passing through a lush bamboo forest, there was a duplex villa.
Huo Yanqing felt the small hand in his palm move slightly. He stopped in his tracks and said gently, "Don't be nervous. Just treat it as your own home."
Shuxin said worriedly, "What if it's exposed?"
Huo Yanqing's thin lips curved slightly. "That won't happen."
Shuxin pursed her lips. Fine. If Huo Yanqing wasn't afraid, then what was she afraid of? "Let's go."
Yao Huiqin hurriedly got up from the sofa when he saw the two people walking in hand in hand. He walked up to Shuxin and affectionately took her hand. His eyes were instantly glued to her body as he said with a smile, "You must be the Xin 'er that Little Five was talking about, right?"
"Mom, don't scare her." Huo Yanqing frowned slightly.
Yao Huiqin glanced at his son unhappily. "Do I look that scary? Why would I scare her? "He then looked at Shuxin with a smile and asked gently," Xin 'er, do I look that scary? "
Shuxin looked at the kind old man in front of her who had a thin face and meticulously tied silver hair. She had a feeling that she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't recall where she had seen him before.
"Did I really scare you?"
Yao Huiqin's words pulled Shuxin's thoughts back to reality. Shuxin hurriedly smiled and said, "No."
"I knew my daughter-in-law wouldn't dislike me." Yao Huiqin instantly beamed with joy.
