Chapter 301 - 301: Lin Shanchu, Don ‘t Provoke Me
Huo Xunzhou looked straight ahead and replied without looking back, “Yeah.”
He picked up a new car.
He was going to take her out to have fun.
Lin Shanchu felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity after connecting the dots.
Humans had deeper memories of the shameful things they had done.
Lin Shanchu quickly recalled the comments she had made on Wen Huan’s Moments.
Huo Xunzhou watched the entire process.
Therefore…
He deliberately picked up a brand new SUV and took her out to have fun in the middle of the night?
The sense of shame that had disappeared assaulted Lin Shanchu once again.
The vibrating notification of a new message suddenly rang out, saving Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu quickly clicked open WeChat and saw Huo Chaosheng’s message.
Huo Chaosheng: [[lmage][lmage] My Third Brother cooked tonight. Can you believe it?]
Huo Chaosheng: [He must have felt very sorry for me because my leg injury relapsed today, so he cooked the meal himself.]
The photo showed sandwiches that had been carefully placed on the plate.
Based on Lin Shanchu’s understanding of Huo Chaosheng, he had probably arranged the sandwiches on the plate and taken the photo to show off to her.
Huo Chaosheng really had a strong brother complex.
Thinking that Huo Chaosheng had done her a great favor today, she decided to say something nice to coax him.
Lin Shanchu: [Your Third Brother is so nice. I really envy you.]
Huo Chaosheng: [If my Third Brother cooks next time, I’ll give you some.]
Lin Shanchu: [I’ll thank you in advance then.]
Huo Chaosheng: [ [Ok.jpg] Are you home yet? How about you come out to have fun?]
Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou.[Will your Third Brother allow you to come out?]
Huo Chaosheng: [He’s going to take a flight back to Capital City early tomorrow morning. He’s already asleep, so I can sneak out.]
The car stopped at this moment.
Lin Shanchu looked out of the window and realized that they had reached the hilltop in the suburbs.
She averted her gaze and glanced at the phone screen for the message Huo Chaosheng had just sent over.
Huo Xunzhou unbuckled his seatbelt and turned around to see Lin Shanchu staring at him without blinking.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
As he spoke, he leaned over to help her unbuckle her seatbelt.
Lin Shanchu asked, “You’re going to take a flight back to Capital City in the morning?”
It was already past midnight.
Huo Xunzhou glanced at her phone. “Did Chaosheng tell you?”
His decision to return to Capital City was made at the eleventh hour. Even Nan Mu did not know about it yet. She had been texting on her phone just now, so Huo Chaosheng was the only one who told her about it.
It seemed like it was true.
No wonder he drove his new car out and took her out to have fun in the middle of the night.
Lin Shanchu smiled as she opened the car door.
However, Huo Xunzhou was one step ahead of her and grabbed her hand that was about to open the car door.
“What else did he say?”
It was very quiet in the SUV. The distance between the two of them was so close that they could even hear each other’s breathing clearly. The man’s cold breath assaulted her like a dense woven net, leaving her nowhere to escape.
“He said…” Lin Shanchu whispered. “His Third Brother personally cooked for him. He felt that his Third Brother doted on him very much.”
“What else?” Huo Xunzhou moved closer.
“He didn’t say anything else…” His emotionless tone triggered Lin Shanchu’s instinct to protect herself. She subconsciously felt that it was better not to tell him what she was going to say next.
Huo Xunzhou grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips before kissing it gently.
“Shanshan, it seems that you don’t want to get out of the car.”
He looked at her with a deep and dark gaze.
Lin Shanchu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She did not dare to look into his eyes. She lowered her eyes and reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear before she said softly, “Don’t get out of the car then. ”
She felt Huo Xunzhou tighten his grip on her hand.
Lin Shanchu curled her lip slightly. She raised her head and widened her eyes slightly, looking naive and innocent. “But Brother Xunzhou, you can’t bear to bully a patient like me, right?”
Huo Xunzhou’s expression froze.
Lin Shanchu raised her head triumphantly and kissed him on the corner of his lips. Then, she asked him seriously, “Are we going to get out of the car?” Huo Xunzhou snorted and warned, “Lin Shanchu, don’t provoke me.”
However, his tone was neither fierce nor intimidating at all.
Lin Shanchu obediently replied, “Oh.”
Huo Xunzhou paused and stepped back a little. Then, he lowered his head and looked at her face. “If you know that you’re a patient, you have to go to the hospital to consult a doctor, understand?”
Lin Shanchu frowned as she said, “Huo Xunzhou, you were lying when you said you wanted to take me out. In fact, you are trying to persuade me to go to the hospital, aren’t you?”
Huo Xunzhou looked away guiltily.
Silence was equivalent to acquiescence!
“Not all illnesses can be treated at the hospital.”
When she was in the hotel, the system threatened to punish her. At that time, she was in so much pain that she almost died on the spot.
However, she felt that her physical condition was obviously much better now.
Perhaps her illness had always been controlled by the system.
Once she was out of the system’s control, her illness would be cured.
Huo Xunzhou then averted his gaze and looked at her inquisitively.
A moment later, he opened the car door and said, “Let’s get out of the car.” The two of them got out of the car together.
Lin Shanchu looked up at the starry sky and said, “The weather will be good tomorrow.”
“Come here.” Huo Xunzhou walked to the front of the SUV and reached out to her.
She walked over and handed her hand to him. Then, he held her waist and carried her to the hood of the SUV.
Right after Lin Shanchu sat down, she exclaimed softly, “You can see the night view of the entire Xu City from here.”
Huo Xunzhou followed her gaze.
“Today is Monday. After the stock market opens, Lu Corporation’s stock will definitely hit the rock bottom.”
Lin Shanchu turned to look at him.
Huo Xunzhou patted her head and continued, “With such a scandal happening to Lu Shiyuan, both the company’s shareholders and investors will harbor negative emotions. They will sell the stocks at low prices, and someone will definitely take the opportunity to buy up Lu Corporation’s shares.”
Lin Shanchu nodded and said, “Although Lu Shiyuan’s reputation is ruined, it still has a lot of commercial value. Many people proabbly want to acquire Lu Corporation now…”
Lin Shanchu suddenly thought of something. She then paused and looked at Huo Xunzhou carefully.
“Don’t you want to acquire Lu Corporation?”
“What about you?” Huo Xunzhou laughed. “Do you want Lu Corporation to change its name into Lin Corporation?”
“Is this something I can think about?” Lin Shanchu was stunned.
He made it sound as if Lu Corporation could turn into Lin Corporation as long as she wanted to.
“What if your wish comes true?” Huo Xunzhou stared at her.
His serious gaze shocked Lin Shanchu.
Huo Xunzhou was introverted by nature, completely different from those boastful scoundrels outside.
Therefore, he said those words because he was 100% confident.
Lin Shanchu was a little scared.
Huo Xunzhou must be lovestruck.
He did not want such a good opportunity and actually wanted to give Lu Corporation to her!
Where was the promised career approval?
“I don’t know how to do business. What if I make it go out of business? I would feel guilty if many people were to lose their jobs.”
“Guilty?” Huo Xunzhou raised an eyebrow at her and his tone was full of doubt.
Lin Shanchu was speechless..
