Huo Xishen saw the skeleton that was kicked on the ground at a glance.

  “Milady, did you sleep well last night?”


  Yan Jinyi still didn’t know that she had rolled off the bed last night and was carried to the bed by Huo Xishen.

  Seeing Huo Xishen standing in front of her at this moment, the erotic dream she had last night suddenly appeared in her mind. Yan Jinyi couldn’t help but blush. She asked, “Of course I slept well. What’s the matter? Mr. Huo, didn’t you sleep well last night?”


  Huo Xishen nodded and said, “Indeed, I didn’t sleep too well.”


  “Since sharing the same room as me makes you feel so terrible, why don’t…”


  Yan Jinyi stopped at an appropriate juncture and stared at Huo Xishen with an expectant gaze.

  “It’s not because I shared the same room as you,” Huo Xishen said with a calm expression as he looked at Yan Jinyi. He continued, “I just find it a pity that we didn’t get to share the same bed.”


  ???

  ‘Dog, stop trying to push your limits! Once I get Huo Xian’s money, it’ll be over between us!’


  ‘Ah, when will the old man leave? With him around, I feel so uneasy and I have to be on tenterhooks all the time… all because I’m scared of making him unhappy.’


  ‘I’m at least still living off of the Huo Family now because I can’t afford to buy myself a house, some clothes, and delicious food! If that old man throws me out, that’d be worse.’


  “Seems like you don’t like that skeleton very much.”


  Yan Jinyi hurriedly picked up the skeleton from the ground and held it in her arms. “Who said so? I just don’t sleep in a proper position.”


  Huo Xishen couldn’t help but think to himself, ‘Yes, she does look bad when she sleeps. Fortunately, I wasn’t the one who slept beside her last night.’


  “Did Brother tell you the story of this skeleton when he gave it to you?”


  Looking at the skeleton, Yan Jinyi shook her head and thought, ‘What story can there be behind this stupid thing? Wasn’t it mass produced in a factory?’


  Huo Xishen suddenly looked like he had come to a realization. “No wonder you dared to sleep with it.”


  ‘So? Tell me what the story is!’


  “Madam, if you’re curious, I’ll tell you after I take a shower.”


  After saying that, he took his pajamas and went to the bathroom without waiting for Yan Jinyi’s reaction.

  Yan Jinyi blinked, sat still in place for a few seconds before punching the bed all of a sudden.

  ‘Damn it! What are you being so arrogant for? You just have more money than me.’


  ‘Well but in the dream… he was indeed… pretty good…’


  Yan Jinyi was shy.

  ‘He’s not going to come out in his pants again later, right? Actually, I didn’t take a careful look last night and I’ve almost forgotten what his figure is like. I must take a good look later.’


  Just as he was thinking about it, Huo Xishen had already opened the door of the bathroom and came out.

  Sitting upright with the skeleton in her arms, Yan Jinyi immediately looked at the bathroom.

  In the end…


  ‘Damn it, he came out fully clothed in a long-sleeved dress shirt and trousers.’


  “Madam, do you think I’m overdressed?”


  Seeing the disappointed expression on her face, Huo Xishen couldn’t help but tease her.

  Huo Xishen originally thought that Yan Jinyi would at least be a little shy, but clearly, he had already underestimated how thick-skinned she could be.

  “Yes, finding a man to marry is all for the sake of admiring their beauty. You’re already very stingy. I don’t expect to get your money, but can’t I appreciate your face and figure?”


  The corners of Huo Xishen’s mouth twitched slightly.

  He surprisingly felt that she had a point.

  “Okay, tell me the story of this skeleton.”


  Huo Xishen turned around and sat on the sofa with his hands behind his head. Seated languidly in a relaxed position, he asked, “Madam, do you see the number written on the skeleton?”


  “It’s a number 14, what’s the matter?”
