Chapter 133

Huo Jingfeng was flattered by Tao Ran's infatuation and praise.

He loved Tao Ran's beauty, sweet talk, fluent English, and fashionable attire; taking her out made him feel very proud.

Huo Jingfeng put his arm around Tao Ran's waist and squeezed it. "Leave it to me, Jennifer."

Tao Ran nestled against him like a little bird, her hands expertly sliding across his chest, giving him a flirtatious wink, "Noah, shall we go dance too?"

Huo Jingfeng's eyes swept over the woman's body with blatant lewdness. "How could I refuse an invitation from a beauty?"

Whether it was intentional or not, Huo Jingfeng and Tao Ran kept getting closer and closer to Huo Jingzhou and Wen Xin as they jumped.

"Brother, how about we change dance partners?"

Huo Jingfeng suddenly spoke up, and Tao Ran's gaze swept over Huo Jingzhou's handsome and aloof face and perfectly proportioned body, her heart pounding.

Undoubtedly, Huo Jingzhou is more charming than Huo Jingfeng.

He was just too cold, with a fierce look in his eyes and a chilling aura of killing intent around him, so ordinary people didn't dare to get close to him at all.

But if Huo Jingzhou had always been so cold and ruthless, that would have been one thing, but Wen Xin was an exception to him. How could Tao Ran accept that?

If only she could make Huo Jingzhou her devoted follower...

Thinking it over, Tao Ran gave Huo Jingzhou a shy and charming look, and followed Huo Jingfeng's lead to throw herself into his arms.

However, Huo Jingzhou didn't even glance at the two people. He tightened his arm around the girl's waist, turned her around with a dance step, and directly avoided them.

Then, "Ah!"

Tao Ran immediately fell to the ground, sprawling out on his back!

The dance floor fell silent for a moment!

Under the strange looks of the crowd, Tao Ran hurriedly covered her skirt, tears welling up in her eyes, looking quite pitiful.

Huo Jingfeng quickly went to help her up, "Jennifer, are you alright?"

He wanted to condemn Huo Jingzhou, but a look from his older brother silenced him.

Tao Ran, on the other hand, didn't even deserve a glance from Huo Jingzhou.

Seeing him with his head down, his gaze fixed on the girl in his arms, whispering something gently, Tao Ran felt utterly humiliated.

She suddenly realized that she was like a hindrance to Huo Jingzhou.

How can there be such a cold-blooded and uncouth man?

Tao Ran couldn't take it anymore, covered her face and ran out.

“Jennifer!”

Huo Jingfeng glanced at Wen Xin unwillingly and chased after her.

Unfortunately, the two main characters didn't even give them a second glance.

"Brother, does your foot hurt?"

Wen Xin was startled by Huo Jingfeng and Tao Ran's actions and accidentally stepped on his shoe while dancing.

She blushed and was worried about him.

Huo Jingzhou chuckled and said, "If you want to hurt me, you'd better think about how little you weigh first."

The girl retorted, "My figure is perfectly normal."

Huo Jingzhou placed his large hand on her soft, graceful waist, his eyes slightly darkening. "Mmm."

Wen Xin: "..."

Her face flushed, and she glared at him with watery eyes, "Young Marshal!"

Huo Jingzhou chuckled softly, "Hmm? Why aren't you calling me 'brother' anymore?"

Wen Xin bit her lip, "I'm ignoring you."

Just then, the music stopped, and Huo Jingzhou put his arm around her and stopped dancing. "Are you tired? I'll take you to rest."

Touched by the tenderness in his deep eyes, Wen Xin was helpless; all her anger vanished, and she obediently nodded.

But she whispered, "Brother, let me go first."

Why is he still holding her in his arms?

Huo Jingzhou's Adam's apple bobbed. He slowly lowered his large hand from her waist and took her soft hand in his. "Okay, let's go."

Wen Xinqing glanced at him with her bright almond-shaped eyes and obediently followed him.

Seeing what was happening on the dance floor, Huo Dashuai couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

For the second son who keeps dancing on the death trap of his eldest son, and for the well-behaved little girl who was tricked by her eldest son.

General Huo once again lamented how difficult it is to be a biological father!

Sigh, my dear Wen is gone. He has no one to talk to anymore. He's going bald.

Commander Huo instructed his head steward, "Ayu, go and bring Huo Jingfeng to me. Don't let him run around and cause trouble."

Knowing the feud between the young marshal and the second young master, the head steward lowered his eyes and replied.

But he felt that the general's approach was only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. He should either send the second young master away so he would never return, or he should be ruthless and beat him half to death to truly frighten him. Otherwise, sooner or later, the general would not be able to protect the second young master.

Huo Jingzhou took Wen Xin to his lounge on the second floor, where it was quieter.

The lounge has a balcony overlooking the swimming pool.

A long table was set up in front of the pool, laden with delicious food. Many young people chose to gather here instead of going to the banquet hall, chatting, laughing, and playing games.

The Huo Mansion was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

Wen Xin leaned against the balcony and looked down.

"Too noisy?"

Huo Jingzhou brought her a glass of juice.

Wen Xin took it and smiled softly at him, "No, the fact that they can laugh and joke like this proves that the Huo family mansion is very safe and Haicheng is very prosperous."

Huo Jingzhou chuckled and raised his hand to touch her cheek. "Why do you always like to praise me indirectly?"

Wen Xin's eyes sparkled. "It's just the truth!"

Before Huo Jingzhou could say anything more, You Yuan suddenly came over, his expression somewhat serious, "Young Marshal."

Unless it's something serious, You Yuan wouldn't bother them at this time.

Wen Xin said to Huo Jingzhou, "Brother, you go ahead and do your work. I'm a little tired, so I'll rest here and wait for you."

The smile on Huo Jingzhou's face had disappeared, and his brows furrowed, clearly worried about her being alone here.

But Wen Xin understood the importance of the matter, and she couldn't very well go with him to handle the important business.

"Brother, you go ahead. If anything happens, I'll go find Uncle Huo and the head butler."

With such a wide view from here, if anything happens, she can just shout and everyone below can see and hear her.

Besides, who would dare to approach Huo Shaoshuai's lounge?

With many guests at the Huo residence tonight, security is even tighter, so there shouldn't be any safety issues.

Huo Jingzhou could only say in a deep voice, "I'll be back in a bit."

Wen Xin nodded obediently.

After Huo Jingzhou left, Xiao Jin suddenly reappeared from nowhere.

"Master, usually something bad will happen to the female lead at times like this. Do you think someone might come to kidnap you later?"

Wen Xin: "..."

If it couldn't talk, it really would shut up!

"Unless the kidnapper is as brainless as you, he wouldn't come to the Huo residence to kidnap someone."

The main residence of a powerful warlord was broken into and people were kidnapped. Who exactly is this person looking down on?

If that were true, General Huo and his entire family would have been assassinated long ago.

Xiao Jin: "..."

Some novels are written this way, so can we blame them?

Wen Xin was speechless at the silly butterfly and continued drinking her juice.

However, as it turns out, some novel plots are indeed based on reality, and the rule that the female protagonist always gets into trouble when she's alone is an ironclad rule.

Tao Ran doesn't know how he sneaked in.

She glared at Wen Xin with hostility. "You're quite smug, aren't you?"

Wen Xin, drinking juice: "..."

Xiao Jin shouldn't be called Xiao Jin, he should be called Xiao Wuya—a crow's mouth!

Xiao Jin: Blaming it again?
