BXBX NOVEL Chapter 172
The wound on Huo Yusen’s hand wasn’t small. And although it wasn’t bleeding anymore, the area around it was still red and scary to look at.
Huo Wu clearly remembered that he didn’t have this wound earlier, so where did it come from? Did he do this to himself in his room?
Huo Wu held onto his hand tightly without thinking twice.
She scanned his wound, and said, “Big brother, why are you so careless? This is such a big wound. Does it hurt?”
After her sentence, Huo Wu raised her eyes and looked at him with concern.
Her eyes held genuine concern for him. Besides, there was also her deep reliance on him.
Huo Yusen’s Adam’s apple moved slightly. He raised his unhurt hand and tried to cover Huo Wu’s eyes.
Huo Wu blinked in confusion, her long eyelashes gliding past his palm. She pouted, “Big brother, why did you cover my eyes up?”
Huo Yusen’s voice was a bit hoarse, which made it somewhat sexy and attractive. “Don’t look at me like that.” He was afraid that he couldn’t restrain himself anymore if she kept staring at him with that look of hers. But after covering her eyes up, the touch of her gliding eyelash became evermore clearer.
The gesture was so slight it was as if he didn’t cover her eyes up at all.
He lifted his hand up and intimately pinched her nose.
He put his hand under the table, making a fist, and releasing it repeatedly.
The tickling feeling that was once there seemed to be there still and was traveling from his fist to his heart strongly.
Huo Yusen lowered his eyes, looked at her, and said smilingly, “Your eyelashes are so long.“ That must have been why he felt a ticklish sensation when they glided past his hands.
Huo Wu supported her hands and looked at Huo Yusen with smiling eyes. “They are not long when compared to big brother’s.” Her brother had such long eyelashes!
His lashes were so pretty that even she was envious of them.
Huo Yusen chuckled. He was just about to say something when Auntie Zhang exclaimed in surprise, “Sir, you’re back?”
Sir?
Auntie Zhang’s “Sir” was directed at Huo Yuan.
Wasn’t today a workday? Did Huo Yuan come back home early?
Thinking about this, Huo Wu stood up hurriedly and looked towards the door. When Huo Yuan came in, she greeted him with a happy smile. “Dad!”
When Huo Yuan saw her, he only nodded his head.
Still feeling confused about his cold behavior, when Huo Wu saw the person following close behind him, she was too shocked to even speak.
The person behind him was… Jiang Yuqin?!
Why would Jiang Yuqin come to the Huo mansion? What is she doing here?
So many thoughts popped up in Huo Wu’s mind. She could barely maintain her smile.
Seeing the dishes that were barely touched on the table, Huo Yuan said, “Xiao Qin and I haven’t eaten as well. Get us two more bowls of rice, Auntie Zhang.”
Auntie Zhang acknowledged him, wiped her hands on her apron, and went to the kitchen.
After coming back with the rice, Huo Yuan passed the chopsticks to Jiang Yuqin and said with great care, “Get anything you like. Don’t feel restrained here.”
Seeing the interactions between Huo Yuan and Jiang Yuqin, Huo Wu wasn’t able to sit still in her seat. She looked towards Huo Yusen for help.
Huo Yusen knew that the relationship between Huo Wu and Jiang Yuqin wasn’t great. She told him a long time ago directly that Jiang Yuqin was a person she hated.
She didn’t dare to say or ask anything. She was afraid that the more she said, the more likely she would say something wrong.
But Huo Yusen could ask.
Huo Yusen was aware of Huo Wu’s look for assistance. He slowly glanced past Huo Yuan and Jiang Yuqin, and then he seemingly asked indifferently, “Dad, aren’t you going to introduce your guest?”
Huo Yuan waved his hand, and there were no additional emotions on his strict face. “I’ll talk to you about this later. Eat first.”
Huo Wu felt as if she was eating wax throughout the dinner.
Not long ago, she just posted a Weibo showing off the heartwarming dinner at home. She also got many likes and positive comments in that short amount of time.
In the comments, there were many people calling her a “little princess” and even those who admired how happy her life was.
But not long after she posted her photos, Jiang Yuqin came to the Huo mansion and walked into her world intrusively.
Seeing Jiang Yuqin and Huo Yuan appearing together, Huo Wu felt very anxious.
However, she did not show even a bit of anxiety on her face.
Not only did she have to hide her feelings, she had to smile as if nothing had happened as well.
When she finished dinner, she was tired from the inside out.
After Huo Yuan finished dinner, he wiped his mouth with the napkin on the table, and said to Huo Yusen, “Come to the study later. I have to tell you something.”
When he finished his sentence, Huo Yuan looked at Huo Wu, paused, then said, “Ah Wu, bring Xiao Qin around the house later. The house is newly renovated. There are new bookshelves in the study, and the abandoned third floor has a new indoor pool. Bring her to visit these places as well.”
Huo Wu’s hand almost tightened into a fist. “Ok.”
Huo Yuan went to the study room first.
Huo Yusen neatly wiped his hands, and then slowly stood up.
He raised his hand and rubbed Huo Wu’s soft hair. “Let me or Auntie Zhang know if you need anything.”
Huo Wu answered with a sound and pretended as if nothing had happened. She pushed Huo Yusen jokingly and whined, “Hurry, big brother. Don’t make Dad wait for you.”
“Ok.”
When Huo Yuan and Huo Yusen left, all of a sudden there was only Huo Wu and Jiang Yuqin left in the living room.
Jiang Yuqin crossed her arms and had a condescending smile on her face.
Recognizing that Huo Wu was staring at her, she smirked coldly and highly and said, “Show me around.”
