‘Fu family?’


  Zhang Guoquan shook his head and said, “Second Young Mistress Huo used to be introverted and her social circle was relatively simple. According to my investigation, she should have never had any interactions with the Fu family.”


  “Besides the Fu family have always been snobs, especially Madam Leng who’s really picky. To put it bluntly, Second Young Mistress Huo is just a commoner, she’ll never have the chance to get to know the Fu family.”


  Resting his chin in one hand, Huo Xishen frowned and nodded. “Okay, give me a timely report of her whereabouts everyday.”


  “Okay, Second Young Master.”


  Yan Jinyi now felt the urge to kill someone.

  Every time she was reminded of that person, she’d feel extremely upset and would stay really agitated for a long time.

  The scene of the fire and the sounds of the shrilling shrieks in the sky appeared in her mind again. Yan Jinyi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

  ‘My eyes must have been playing tricks on me. That must be the case.’


  Someone knocked on the door at the right time. Just as she was about to speak, the room door was pushed open and Huo Xishen entered, clad in home attire.

  “Darling, it seems you should talk to me about your relationship history.”


  ‘Relationship history?’


  Yan Jinyi glared at him and said, “I haven’t had any past relationships. We’re done talking, you can leave if there’s nothing else, Mr. Huo.”


  Huo Xishen ignored her and walked towards the single couch to sit down. “Darling, don’t you have a male classmate whom you were rumored to be in a scandal with and even made it to the headlines?”


  ‘When did that ever happen?’


  ‘Oh, right, that shameless Xu Hao. He ganged up with Liu Ran against me previously.’


  “Mr. Huo, are you settling scores now?”


  “I just want to talk to you, Darling,” Huo Xishen said as he leaned against the sofa with one leg crossed over the other in a sluggish manner.

  “Xu Hao has no money and no power, and he isn’t as handsome as you are, Mr. Huo. His figure isn’t as good as yours either,” Yan Jinyi said with an evil smile and walked over to kneel on one knee at the edge of the sofa to get closer to him. “Mr. Huo, do you think I’ll choose him or you?”


  Faced with her glistening eyes, Huo Xishen’s gaze flickered and he reached out to place his slender fingertips against her forehead with his lips pursed. His voice was low, alluring, and pleasant.

  “Darling, you have quite a few suitors, huh? Many of them are quite outstanding too, such as Tang Qing and Zhuang Heng,” he said. After a slight pause, he inched closer to her and said, “Why don’t you tell me who else there is besides those two?”


  “Huh?” Yan Jinyi was a little confused.

  “Understanding one’s enemies well increases the chances of winning. Darling, you can tell me who all my rivals are.”


  ‘Hah…’


  ‘You’re making it sound so pleasant. Those who don’t know might think that you love paying attention to me.’


  ‘Could it be that Huo Xishen thinks that there are too many outstanding men around me so he’s worried that I might help him with his misogyny after I’ve lost my chastity to another man?’


  Huo Xishen didn’t know what Yan Jinyi was thinking. He was just bothered by the way Yan Jinyi stared at the car belonging to successor of the Fu family just now.

  “There’s indeed someone else,” Yan Jinyi suddenly said sternly.

  After making eye contact with her, Huo Xishen pressed his lips together and gestured for her to go on.

  “I think Big Brother, Huo Zihang, and Huo Qingyuan all adore me.”


  “…”


  Huo Xishen gently pushed her away. “It’s good to be confident but if you’re overly confident, you’ll become conceited.”


  “It’s a good thing to be conceited, I like being conceited. Mr. Huo. I think that Miss Leng, who is so in love with you that she can’t live without you, is also quite conceited.”


  Huo Xishen stared straight at her face and suddenly teased, “Darling, you’re getting jealous again.”
