64 Didn’t You Promise Me Not to Get Close to Yaoyao Again?
A moment later, in the backyard room of Prince Li’s Manor.
Huo Junhan was lying lazily on the soft couch, holding a long jade pipe in his jade-like hand.
His dark hair spread out and poured behind him, and the front of his shirt was open, revealing his chest and exquisite collarbone. The smoke from his pipe lingered in front of his handsome face. He closed his eyes slightly as he listened to the report from the butler, who was kneeling on the ground.
“General Shen is a guest, let him in.” The man’s low voice made it impossible to tell if he was happy or angry.
The butler immediately obeyed and left.
After a while, Shen Liu’an appeared in the room. He looked at Huo Junhan, who seemed to have no bones on the soft couch, and his eyebrows twitched.
“I specially prepared a generous gift to thank you for saving my daughter today,” Shen Liu’an said as he signaled to the two people carrying boxes behind him.
The two of them immediately placed the heavy box on the ground. After opening it, everyone saw priceless treasures shining inside.
However, Huo Junhan did not even look at the box. He adjusted his posture and glanced at Shen Liu’an indifferently. “If that’s why you’re here, you can leave with those things now. You know very well what kind of person I am.”
Shen Liu’an had no intention of leaving. He pulled a chair over and sat down. Then, he said to the servants in the room, “I want to talk to His Highness for a while. All of you can leave first.”
The servants of the Prince’s Manor did not dare to move and looked at Huo Junhan for orders.
Huo Junhan lowered his head and took a puff of his cigarette. After casually shaking the jade pipe, his thin lips curled into a cold arc. “General Shen, are you treating my Prince Li’s Manor as your territory? Your style of doing things is really the same as before. Those who don’t know better would think that you’re a bandit.”
Hearing the mockery in Huo Junhan’s tone, Shen Liu’an was not angry and only said, expressionlessly, “If you still care about the teacher-student relationship between us, listen to me.”
Hearing that Shen Liu’an actually dared to speak to Huo Junhan like this, the servants in the room immediately knelt down in unison. All of them were silent like cicadas in winter, wishing they could become blind and deaf.
The atmosphere turned cold at this moment.
Huo Junhan narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Liu’an with a dark gaze.
Shen Liu’an returned the stare and sat there without moving.
It was as if time and air were about to slowly stop flowing. Just as the atmosphere in the room was tense to the extreme, Huo Junhan’s cold voice slowly sounded.
“All of you can leave.”
As if they had been granted amnesty, the servants filed out of the room.
Shen Liu’an looked at the brazier burning in the hall and frowned. He asked Huo Junhan, “Have you still not found a way to completely resolve your illness?”
“General Shen, you can say whatever you want now.” Huo Junhan put down the jade pipe in his hand and looked straight at Shen Liu’an.
Shen Liu’an looked at Huo Junhan’s handsome face and suddenly thought of the first time he saw him.
At that time, Huo Junhan was about five years old. For some reason, he barged into the military camp covered in dirt and was captured by the soldiers as a spy.
He saw Huo Junhan in the cell.
The little child was tied to the torture rack. His eyes were especially bright on his dirty little face, like those of a wolf cub.
He was covered in injuries and almost had no skin left unharmed.
Even the criminal in the cell could not bear to hurt him again, afraid that if the child was injured again, he would really not be able to live.
Later, after confirming that Huo Junhan was not a spy, they wanted to release him.
However, he was unwilling to leave the military camp because he would have food to eat if he stayed there.
Looking at the nobleman in front of him now, Shen Liu’an could not help but sigh. Times had changed, and he could barely associate him with that dirty and downtrodden child.
“Didn’t you promise me not to get close to Yaoyao again? What’s been going on recently?” Shen Liu’an asked slowly.
