BXBX NOVEL Chapter 29
Especially for someone like Lin Shanchu who had never received a positive response, begging was more like an act of accumulating disappointment.
Huo Xunzhou’s expression was still very indifferent. His alluring eyes were cold and distant.
He would reject her, right?
He definitely would.
“I’m not a kind person.”
Huo Xunzhou’s voice was melodious and carried the same coldness as his aura.
It was an expected answer.
However, Lin Shanchu still felt a trace of disappointment in her heart.
“It’s…” Fine.
“But I can take you in.”
Lin Shanchu’s words were interrupted by Huo Xunzhou.
She looked at Huo Xunzhou’s cold and handsome face. Her heart started beating quickly. “Are you sure?”
Huo Xunzhou had seen her embarrassed look when she was forced by Lu Shiyuan.
He had reached out to her but never asked about her situation.
He was not a kind person.
From her point of view, it was only natural for him to refuse to take her in.
“But I won’t take you in for nothing,” Huo Xunzhou continued.
Lin Shanchu was stunned for two seconds. After she registered everything, she could not hide the smile on her face.”I like to cook.”
Huo Xunzhou did not lack money.
He wasn’t interested in women.
The only thing she could do for him was to cook for him.
Huo Xunzhou glanced at Lin Shanchu and did not say anything.
Soon, Li Mo and Nan Mu finished washing the dishes and came out.
“Take Ms. Lin to the guest room,” Huo Xunzhou ordered Li Mo.
Nan Mu, who was about to take out his phone and surf the internet, was flabbergasted.
He had only gone to wash the dishes with Li Mo, and Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu had already agreed to live together!
After Li Mo took Lin Shanchu upstairs, Nan Mu went up to Huo Xunzhou and asked, “Aren’t you guys progressing a little too fast?”
“What?” Huo Xunzhou frowned.
Nan Mu continued with a serious expression, “Lin Shanchu has already signed a contract with ‘My Stage’. She’s now a reserve member of the girl group. Girl group members aren’t allowed to date. You guys can continue this when the show is over…”
Huo Xunzhou finally understood what Nan Mu was saying. “Have Li Mo accompany you to the hospital later.”
“What for?” Nan Mu was confused.
Huo Xunzhou replied, “Get your brain checked out.”
Nan Mu was dazed for a few seconds before he protested angrily, “You’re calling me stupid again!”
…
Just like that, Lin Shanchu stayed at Huo Xunzhou’s house.
She had only brought a case of money and an old rabbit doll with her when she left Lu Manor. She needed to buy clothes and daily necessities.
Huo Xunzhou asked Li Mo to take her to the mall.
The car had just left Huo Xunzhou’s house when Li Mo sensed a car following them.
“Ms. Lin, sit tight.”
Having heard this, Lin Shanchu grabbed the handle of the car roof.
After the car made a few turns, Li Mo lost the car behind him.
Lin Shanchu looked at Li Mo from the rearview mirror and saw that his expression was very calm as if he was used to this kind of thing.
Did someone stalk him often?
Or, to be more precise, people might be stalking Huo Xunzhou.
Huo Xunzhou was a mysterious man.
Lin Shanchu entered the mall and quickly picked out three sets of clothes. She also bought some daily necessities and returned to the car.
On the way back, they encountered the car that had been following them.
Li Mo didn’t expect the car to be able to catch up, and his expression became a little impatient.
Lin Shanchu silently held the handle above her head. “I’ve steadied myself.”
Her tone was so calm that Li Mo glanced at her from the rearview mirror.
As expected from the woman who caught Huo Xunzhou’s attention. She was so calm when faced with problems.
Li Mo tried to shake off the car behind him like before.
But this time, he couldn’t shake it off.
Li Mo frowned and slowed down the car. He lowered the window to see who was the amazing driver.
When he saw the driver clearly, he exclaimed in surprise, “Lu Shiyuan?!”
He quickly rolled up the window and sped up.
When they passed an intersection, they finally left Lu Shiyuan behind for a short time.
Lin Shanchu knew how difficult it was to deal with Lu Shiyuan, so she took the initiative to say, “Li Mo, find a place to park. I’ll take a taxi back.”
Lu Shiyuan might have been left behind now, but he would definitely catch up with them soon.
If she got off halfway, even if Lu Shiyuan caught up with her, it would be of no use.
Li Mo stopped his car at the bus stop.
After Lin Shanchu got off the car, she immediately got on a bus.
When the bus started, she squeezed through the crowd and looked out of the window. She happened to see Lu Shiyuan’s car passing by.
He quickly disappeared from her sight.
Lin Shanchu got off at the next stop and took a taxi back to Huo Xunzhou’s house.
At this moment, Li Mo was leading Lu Shiyuan’s car in circles.
He would never be soft-hearted when dealing with his big brother’s love rival.
Soon, Lu Shiyuan realized that Li Mo was deliberately leading him in circles.
He understood that Lin Shanchu was no longer in the car.
He clenched his fist and punched the steering wheel in anger.
“Lin Shanchu, I’ve really underestimated you!” He gritted his teeth and said to himself.
Lin Shanchu was not in the car, so he had no need to continue chasing.
Li Mo then drove back to Huo Xunzhou’s house.
…
Lin Shanchu arrived home before Li Mo.
When she entered the house, Huo Xunzhou was just coming out of the kitchen with a glass of water.
Huo Xunzhou was a smart man. He could roughly guess what had happened when he saw her empty-handed.
Their eyes met. The lingering fear in the girl’s eyes was apparent.
“Do you want some water?” He asked.
Lin Shanchu nodded.
Huo Xunzhou pushed the wheel of his wheelchair and brought the water to her.
Lin Shanchu took the water, raised his head, and drank it all in one go.
She finally came back to his senses.
Then, she thanked Huo Xunzhou.
“Thank you,” she said.
Huo Xunzhou did not say anything. He turned around and walked back to the kitchen.
“I’ll get you some water.” Lin Shanchu quickly stepped forward.
Huo Xunzhou had poured the water for himself just now.
Lin Shanchu changed the cup and poured him a new cup of water.
Huo Xunzhou went upstairs with the water.
Lin Shanchu looked at the time, realizing that it was almost dinnertime.
“Mr. Huo.”
Huo Xunzhou stopped and turned to look at her.
“What do you want to eat for dinner?” Lin Shanchu asked.
Huo Xunzhou thought for a moment and frowned slightly. “Anything.”
“Then … I’ll just make whatever’s in the fridge,” Lin Shanchu probed tentatively.
Huo Xunzhou nodded in silence and entered the elevator.
Not long after, Li Mo returned.
He heard some movement in the kitchen and walked over. “Ms. Lin, I’ve left your things in the living room.”
“I’ve caused you trouble.” Lin Shanchu’s face was apologetic.
Li Mo glanced at the red braised fish in the pot and swallowed his saliva silently. “It’s no trouble at all,”
Lin Shanchu saw this and said, “We’ll be able to eat in ten minutes.”
“Okay. I’ll go upstairs and call Big Brother for dinner.”
After Li Mo finished speaking, he disappeared like a gust of wind.
