Chapter 347 - Scared Crazy
Chapter 347: Scared Crazy
The setting sun was like blood, dyeing half of the sky red. The artificial lake next to her was shimmering.
Heaven and earth were covered by a veil of warmth.
Xu Yue raised her hand to cover her eyes that were stinging as it tried to adapt to the light, and two lines of tears fell. They were extremely hot.
She was finally out.
“Miss Xu.”
Xu Yue’s back stiffened. In an instant, she was pulled from the clouds, back down to hell. Coldness rushed from her feet to her brain, so cold that her teeth chattered.
Her shoulders shrank back but she did not dare to retaliate.
The familiar voice was the one who originally took her away.
Huo Jiu smiled gently. “Miss Xu, it’s me. Have you forgotten me?”
He tilted his head and gently put his coat over her shoulder.
“Huhu…”
“Shhh…”
Huo Jiu’s index finger touched his lips, his voice was gentle.
“Miss Xu, congratulations on regaining your freedom. But there’s something I need to remind you…”
He pulled out some money and shoved it into her hands. “There are people looking for you everywhere. Take this, have a bath, and change into some fresh clothes. Don’t worry, as soon as you reappear in front of your family, your flight schedule will be updated. I’m sure I don’t need to teach you what to say about where you’ve been…”
Xu Yue nodded her head frantically as tears fell from her eyes. But she did not dare to cry out loud.
“I-I…understand!”
She was afraid that if she answered any slower, she would be thrown back into the prison and die in there without ever seeing the light of day again.
“Good.”
Huo Jiu’s eyes curved. If not for the emotionless look in his eyes, his gentle demeanor could easily be mistaken for a form of doting.
However, all Xu Yue felt was coldness.
“Oh, what a pity…”
Huo Jiu saw her tremble in fear and sighed. “I had almost forgotten about your existence. Fortunately, Miss Song mentioned your name. She’s my boss. Since she told me to let you go, I had no choice but to obey.” ”
He rested his hands on his knees and crouched down to look Xu Yue in the eyes. “Our Miss Song is kind and open-minded. That’s why she didn’t mind. But if you cause her trouble again, I may have to move some cute mice and snakes into your cell the next time you stay here. Understand?”
Xu Yue’s eyes darkened. There was no way that she was ever returning here!!
She would never acknowledge that place as ‘her cell’.
She was complaining on the inside, but on the outside, she was nodding her head furiously.
Huo Jiu was satisfied. “Okay, I wish you a safe trip then. It’s dark outside. Don’t stay out too late~~”
He clapped his hands and left.
Song Yaoyao was sitting in the car reading a book when he returned. “What did you say to her?” she asked.
Amusement appeared in Huo Jiu’s eyes. “She seemed fun, so I teased her a little.”
“Don’t go too far.” Song Yaoyao leaned into the seat and focused her gaze as she said calmly, “She was never smart to begin with. If you scare her until she goes crazy, what use will she have left?”
“Errr…it shouldn’t be that bad, right?”
Huo Jiu rubbed his chin as he thought to himself.
Did he scare her too much?
He was sure that he had some self-awareness… Back when he was in the training camp, he had experienced much worse. When he had nothing to eat, he even caught a snake to eat.
Tch…
Song Yaoyao lifted her eyes lazily and glanced at him.
Huo Jiu immediately sat upright. “Please sit carefully Miss Song. It’s time to go home!”
What was happening?!
Why was Miss Song becoming more and more like Master Huo? She was clearly an adorable and delicate little angel. How did she manage to remain so calm in situations like this?
Huo Jiu couldn’t understand.
