However, Yan Jinyi sneered, “Mr. Huo, don’t worry, no matter how handsome Fu Borong is, I won’t be interested in him.”


  Huo Xishen didn’t miss the trace of murderous energy under her eyes, and suddenly remembered the last time Yan Jinyi saw Fu Borong at Leng Yuxi’s birthday party.

  “Darling, are you sure you don’t know Fu Borong?”


  She just didn’t expect that Mrs. Fu, who was hosting the tea party this time, was Fu Borong’s mother.

  It really is a small world.

  “There is a particularly annoying person with the same name as the scion of the Fu family.”


  Huo Xishen didn’t probe any further. If she wanted to deal with the Fu family, he just had to give her support and back her up.

  However, Huo Xishen discovered that Yan Jinyi seemed to be rather depressed ever since she read the information about the Fu family information. She was listless and out of sorts.

  The weather was getting warmer, and while standing on the balcony, she could even hear the chirping of crickets in the garden.

  Huo Xishen was leaning against the fence with a glass of wine while Yan Jinyi sat on the rocking chair and spaced out.

  She had just finished taking a shower and thus, was wrapped in a robe with her dripping wet hair cascading down her back.

  “Go and blow dry your hair.” Huo Xishen ordered.

  “No, I heard that your hair gets damaged if you dry it with a hairdryer too often.”


  “…”


  Yan Jinyi suddenly looked up at him and called him by his name, which was rare of her. “Huo Xishen, I’ve read a lot of books recently, and there’s a phrase that I really like.”


  Huo Xishen did not answer and instead just raised his eyebrows to indicate her to continue.

  “No matter what happens, you have to maintain your childlike innocence.” Yan Jinyi sighed, “I used to have rather simple requirements. I just needed enough money to feed myself, keep myself warm, and to be able to take care of and protect the people I want to protect. It was just that simple.”


  However, everything became complicated after that person appeared.

  “You are still naive now,” Huo Xishen replied in a deep voice.

  Yan Jinyi finally raised her head and looked at him, “Now the word ‘naive’ has already become a derogatory term, right?”


  Besides, she knew very well what she was like.

  ‘I’m definitely not kindhearted. Innocent? Evne more impossible. I do evil things all the time and I want to beat up everyone I see.’


  “Huo Xishen, do you like me?”


  Slightly stunned, Huo Xishen pursed his lips slightly without answering.

  Yan Jinyi said with a self-deprecating smile, “I feel that you like me but I also think that it’s impossible that you’d ever like me. I’m very vile.”


  She had also killed lots of people.

  Yan Jinyi stretched out her hands and stared at her palms, “I’m suddenly in a terrible mood. Come have a drink with me.”


  Huo Xishen had witnessed Yan Jinyi’s liquor level before and he knew that she could hold her liquor well.

  However, once she gets drunk…


  “Why are you in a terrible mood?”


  “Because of men.”


  Her words finally angered Huo Xishen. He strode towards her, raised his hand to pinch her chin and spoke in a cold and angry tone of voice.

  “Yan Jinyi, don’t forget that you are my wife, Second Young Mistress Huo. If you want a man, you can only think of me.”


  “You can’t be too domineering. Since when have you become unable to live without me? Maybe I… Forget it, it’s impossible, men can’t be trusted at all.”


  Huo Xishen gazed at her. ‘Which bastard hurt her so badly? Is it Fu Borong?’


  The thought that Yan Jinyi might have once loved someone made him mad with jealousy.

  The next thing Yan Jinyi knew, he kissed her intensely in a rather rough manner, as if he wanted to devour her.

  Yan Jinyi began to breathe heavily but her mind cleared up at this moment.

  She came to her senses and realized that it was the 21st century where she had been reborn and was no longer the bandit leader she once was.

  ‘I’m Second Young Mistress Huo. Who would I be afraid of? Yes, why should I be scared of anyone? If he’s really that person, I’ll just abuse him a few more times.’
