After sending the message, Xia Cha’s heart was pounding rapidly.
F*ck, she had never been this nervous even in front of the media and fans at her press conference.
After the message was sent, she kept her eyes on the inbox.
One minute passed, five minutes passed, ten minutes passed…
One hour passed, two hours passed…
Xia Cha’s eyes were sore.
She threw her phone on the bed, picked up the pillow, and punched it a few times.
This sort of heart-piercing feeling was really uncomfortable!
Her face was tense as she cursed Huo Heng in her heart……
Xia Cha did not know how she fell asleep, but she would wake up at the slightest movement on her phone. She repeated it several times, raising her hopes then getting disappointed, before she turned off her phone.
When she woke up the next day, there was a faint shadow under her eyes.
She looked listless.
Qiu Zhi had already prepared breakfast. After eating, Xia Cha decided to go out for a walk. Xia Chuan came over and pulled her aside.
“Cha Cha, I’ll go to Yan City later to deliver the goods. Are you coming along?”
Xia Cha shook her head.
“Isn’t Young Master Huo going on a blind date today?”
Xia Cha was furious at the mention of Huo Heng.
“So what if he goes on a blind date? What does it have to do with me?” Xia Cha thought of the message she had sent the previous night. It was like a stone sinking into the sea. She had not gotten a reply at all. She was angry and annoyed.
It was said that girls should be reserved. She should never have sent him that message!
“Cha Cha, if you’re not going, I’m leaving.”
Xia Cha watched Xia Chuan get into the car and bit her lip. A few seconds later, she rushed over and opened the passenger door.
Xia Chuan had already expected Xia Cha to go over. A smile appeared on his handsome face. “My Cha Cha is finally moved!”
Xia Cha glared at Xia Chuan, “Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? I’m not interested! I just can’t stand his playboy look and want to expose his true colors!”
Xia Chuan knew that Xia Cha was shy when it came to relationships, so he did not expose her. After she fastened her seatbelt, he started the car and left.
On the way there, the siblings talked about the old mansion.
“My dad and Fang Liu are getting a divorce.”
Xia Cha was a little surprised. “Why?”
“Fang Liu was pregnant with her second child. Grandma got someone to check her pulse and said that it was a son. Everyone in the old residence was very happy. But the good times didn’t last long. When Fang Liu was three months pregnant, she went to the river one night and was coincidentally seen by Eldest Aunt.”
“Fang Liu went to the river to meet someone. Moreover, the son she’s carrying belongs to that person.”
Xia Cha said, “Third Uncle brought this upon himself. You were his son back then, but he didn’t cherish you. He only liked the child Fang Liu gave birth to. Now, he has become the joke of the entire county.”
Xia Chuan didn’t feel the slightest bit of sympathy for Xia Zhenli. Besides, he had already cut ties with the old residence. No matter how much trouble they caused, it was none of his business.
The car arrived in the city. When they passed by a traffic light, Xia Chuan saw that it was a green light and was about to drive over when a delicate figure suddenly rushed over from the intersection.
Xia Chuan had not expected this. He honked and stepped on the brakes.
The girl who was crossing the road was shocked. Seeing that the car was about to hit her, she stood there like a deer caught in headlines.
The car screeched to a halt.
But the car still hit the girl’s knee.
Xia Chuan and Xia Cha hurriedly got out of the car.
The girl didn’t look well. She had fallen to the floor. Her face was pale, and her eyes red as if she’d been crying.
Xia Cha saw that the girl’s knee was bleeding. She quickly said to Xia Chuan, “Brother, quickly send her to the hospital!”
Xia Chuan apologized to the distraught girl and carried her up.
Xia Cha and Xia Chuan sent the girl to the hospital.
Fortunately, the girl was only scratched and had not hurt her bones. It was not serious.
The girl seemed to have calmed down a little. She looked at Xia Chuan and Xia Cha and said apologetically, “I’m sorry for scaring you. It’s my fault for what happened today. Sorry to trouble you. I’ll compensate you…”
The girl took a diamond bracelet off her wrist and handed it to Xia Cha. “This is for you.”
Xia Cha looked at the diamond bracelet that the girl handed over. It was obviously expensive. She shook her head and said, “My brother and I bumped into you. It was only right that we sent you to the hospital. We won’t accept your compensation.”
Seeing that the girl was fine, Xia Chuan grabbed Xia Cha’s wrist and said, “Cha Cha, don’t you have something on? Let’s go!”
The girl smiled when she saw the siblings leaving in a hurry. She did not expect such a simple and kind person to exist in this world.
…
Xia Cha asked Xia Chuan to send her to the cafe.
After Xia Chuan sent her over, he went to deliver the goods.
Xia Cha walked into the cafe and scanned the hall. She did not see Huo Heng.
She frowned.
It was already past eleven o’clock. Had he been here?
Xia Cha found a waiter and asked him, “Have you seen a handsome man who is nearly 1.88 meters tall?”
The waiter shook his head. “No.”
Xia Cha immediately felt discouraged.
She sat in the cafe for a while until Xia Chuan came to look for her.
Seeing that Xia Cha was listless, Xia Chuan felt that he could not make this trip in vain. “Cha Cha, let’s go. I’ll send you to the Huo family’s residence. If there’s anything, let’s make it clear in person. If he really doesn’t like you anymore, don’t bother about him anymore.”
Although Xia Chuan had never been in a relationship and didn’t know how other couples got together, he didn’t want to drag this on any longer.
Xia Chuan was right. He had to ask him face to face.
If he liked her, then he liked her. If he didn’t, then she would forget about it.
She was so beautiful, had good grades, and could sing well. Would she be afraid of having no one that would like her in the future?
Xia Chuan sent Xia Cha to the Huo family’s residence.
The servants of the Huo family knew Xia Cha. When they heard that she wanted to see Huo Heng, they warmly invited her in.
“Is your Young Master home?”
“Young Master is in the garden.”
Xia Cha walked to the garden and saw Huo Heng there. However, he was not alone. Beside him stood a delicate girl.
Xia Cha’s mind went blank.
Had he asked Miss Zhou to come to the Huo family?
Xia Cha suddenly felt that she was humiliating herself by coming to him.
The sourness in her nose was almost uncontrollable. She turned and strode away.
But before she reached the living room, her wrist was grabbed by a large hand.
“You’re looking for me?”
Xia Cha tried to struggle, but failed. Instead, she was dragged to the study.
Jian Yi came down from the stairs. “Heng’er, why are you dragging your cousin… Eh, it’s Cha Cha?”
Cousin?
Could it be that Huo Heng was talking to his cousin in the garden?
While Xia Cha was stunned, she was dragged into the bedroom by the man.
He let go of Xia Cha and his tall body approached her. He placed one hand on top of her head and looked down at her. “Little Camellia, your recent behavior will make me misunderstand that you like me!”
