“The person I am waiting for? Who?”
Lin Shanchu stared intently at Huo Chaosheng, trying to get a precise answer.
Huo Chaosheng took a deep breath and asked, “Who else are you waiting for besides Third Brother?”
Lin Shanchu only let go of Huo Chaosheng after getting a satisfactory answer.
She shook her sore hand from using too much strength just now and looked innocent as she scolded him, “It would have been better if you had done this earlier.”
Huo Chaosheng suppressed his rage and straightened his clothes expressionlessly.
“When is Huo Xunzhou coming?” Lin Shanchu asked as she leaned lazily on the sofa. “Morning, afternoon, or evening?”
Huo Chaosheng replied, “I don’t know.”
‘You don’t know?” Lin Shanchu nonchalantly repeated what he just said. Huo Chaosheng gritted his teeth and said, “Maybe he will be here soon.”
Lin Shanchu looked at the sky outside. Although she did not know what time it was, she could feel that it was almost lunchtime.
“I’m going to make lunch. Don’t worry, I’ll make your mother’s favorite curry beef.” Lin Shanchu gave Huo Chaosheng a meaningful smile before entering the kitchen.
At noon, Lin Shanchu made a tableful of dishes.
Other than the curry beef that Huo Chaosheng and Huo Xizhen loved, the rest of the dishes were all Huo Xunzhou’s favorite food.
Huo Xizhen sat at the dining table with her fists raised by her sides. She then lowered her head and took a deep sniff.
“There are so many dishes. They smell nice.” She looked up at Lin Shanchu, who was sitting opposite her, and praised her like before. “Shanshan, you are really amazing.”
“Thank you.” Lin Shanchu’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Auntie, my boyfriend will be here soon. Let’s wait for him to come over for lunch, okay?”
Huo Chaosheng stretched out the chopsticks and was about to pick up some food for Huo Xizhen, but he was startled when he heard those words. “Alright!” Huo Xizhen asked her innocently, “Is he done with work?”
“Work is endless, but to him, work is not as important as me.” Huo Xunzhou had said that nothing was more important than her.
“Your boyfriend really likes you,” Huo Xizhen said enviously.
“Your…” Right after Lin Shanchu opened her mouth, she suddenly paused.
Then, she changed her tune. “Huo Chaosheng also said the same thing.”
Huo Xizhen turned to look at Huo Chaosheng and asked, “Your Third Brother must be a very nice person, right?”
“Yeah,” Huo Chaosheng replied softly.
Huo Xizhen was really looking forward to meeting him and kept looking at the door.
“How long will it take for him to get here?” she asked from time to time.
Lin Shanchu looked up and asked Huo Chaosheng expressionlessly, “How much longer until he gets here?”
Huo Chaosheng became frustrated after she asked him a number of times.
“How am I supposed to know?!”
Just as Huo Xizhen was looking at the door again, Lin Shanchu heard a thud coming from outside.
It was the sound of the door being opened.
Lin Shanchu resisted the urge to get up and leave, staring intently at Huo Chaosheng.
She was brought here by Huo Chaosheng because she drank the wine that he had given her.
She was the female lead with the plot armor. No matter what drug he gave her, she would not die.
However, it might not be the same case for Huo Xunzhou.
All the dishes on the table were made by her, and she could not take her eyes off them.
“Is there not even a bit of trust between us?” Huo Chaosheng asked, noticing Lin Shanchu’s wariness.
“There was, or else I wouldn’t be sitting here right now.” And now, there was no trust between them.
Huo Chaosheng chuckled enigmatically upon hearing her words.
Lin Shanchu could vaguely hear footsteps coming from outside.
The footsteps gradually became clearer.
Huo Xizhen, who sitting opposite her, suddenly looked at the door and muttered, “Ah Fu…
Lin Shanchu abruptly turned around and saw the travel-worn Huo Xunzhou.
As his deep gaze was firmly locked on Lin Shanchu, he quickened his pace and walked towards her without a word.
Huo Chaosheng smiled calmly and said, “Third Brother, you are here.”
Huo Xunzhou raised his head and looked coldly at Huo Chaosheng before sitting down beside Lin Shanchu.
“Have you eaten lunch yet?” Lin Shanchu smiled and pulled Huo Xunzhou’s hand. “I made a lot of your favorite dishes.”
She looked very well, and she was smiling as if she was at home.
Huo Xunzhou held her hand tightly and scrutinized her with a frown.
He looked very worried about her.
His eyes were bloodshot. He probably had not slept well in the past two days. Lin Shanchu blinked guiltily and said, “Let’s eat lunch first…’
Although she was under Number 1357’s control at that time and did not tell Huo Xunzhou that she was going to have dinner with Huo Chaosheng, she voluntarily drank that glass of wine.
She had to be honest with Huo Xunzhou about this matter.
He would definitely be furious when the time came.
This matter was a little serious. He would probably be angry for a long time, and she would need to spend some effort to coax him.
Huo Xunzhou finally looked better.
Lin Shanchu smiled at him and stuffed the chopsticks into his hands.
When she turned around, she realized that Huo Xizhen had been staring at Huo
Xunzhou.
Huo Xizhen’s gaze gradually became puzzled. “Why is Ah Fu a man…?”
Huo Xunzhou met Huo Xizhen’s gaze and introduced himself calmly. “Hello, I am Huo Xunzhou.”
“Huo Xunzhou…” Huo Xizhen said to herself, “If you are not Ah Fu, then who is
Ah
“He’s my Third Brother, Huo Xunzhou,” Huo Chaosheng said as she held Huo Xizhen’s hand on the table.
Somewhat sluggish, Huo Xizhen asked again, “Your Third Brother?”
“Yes.” Huo Chaosheng explained in a gentle tone, “He’s Lin Shanchu’s boyfriend.”
“I know, Shanshan’s boyfriend, your Third Brother. His name is Huo Xunzhou.” Huo Xizhen read out the message she had just received seriously like a child.
“Let’s eat lunch.” Huo Chaosheng stuffed the chopsticks into Huo Xizhen’s hands.
Huo Xizhen’s attention was still on Huo Xunzhou.
“He looks like Ah Fu…
‘who is Ah Fu?”
Huo Xunzhou’s deep voice was emotionless.
However, Lin Shanchu, who had spent time with him day and night, could clearly sense the changes in his emotions.
She could vaguely hear the depression in his tone.
“I don’t know.” Huo Xizhen shook her head and asked blankly, “Who is Ah Fu?”
Huo Chaosheng’s expression darkened as he said, “Third Brother, let’s eat lunch.”
Huo Xunzhou took a deep glance at Huo Xizhen before lowering his head to eat lunch.
Lin Shanchu eagerly picked up some food for Huo Xunzhou.
“Shanshan likes her boyfriend too,” Huo Xizhen said with a smile as she recalled Lin Shanchu’s words just now.
“Of course.” Lin Shanchu smiled and nodded.
Huo Xunzhou raised his eyes and gave Lin Shanchu a meaningful look.
If Lin Shanchu could capture Huo Xunzhou’s emotional changes, so could Huo Xunzhou.
Although her guilty conscience was not written on her face, it was evident in her actions when she diligently picked up food for him.
Judging from Lin Shanchu’s reaction, he could already guess the whole story.
Huo Xunzhou heaved a long, imperceptible sigh of relief.
“Shanshan, you should eat more too,” he said slowly as he picked up some food for Lin Shanchu..
