Seeing that the woman remained silent for a long time, Huo Lin frowned slightly and continued to ask, "Hmm?"

Xun Ting swallowed hard, lacking the courage to tell the truth. If she hadn't believed Lin Qingbai's lies today and hadn't hugged him, none of this would have happened.

Besides, this man is extremely jealous.

I'm sure I'll be miserable if I tell you...

She smiled and changed the subject, "It's nothing. Lin Qingbai tricked me by using a drug to seduce me. Otherwise, with my skills, he wouldn't have been able to capture me."

"How did he get close to you using the drug?"

"This...this...because I haven't noticed him yet." Xun Ting's eyes darted around, feeling that the man had already seen through her lie.

"The truth?" Huo Lin's lips curled into a cold smile, his words clearly implying that he didn't believe her.

The little liar's eyes start to dart around when she lies. Do you really think I didn't see through her lie?

Xun Ting swallowed hard, knowing that the man didn't believe her. The villain was truly meticulous; no lie could fool him. But if she told the truth, she would be finished.

She swallowed hard, then chose to keep quiet.

"You still have ties with him?" Huo Lin's voice was even colder, as if it were a frozen wasteland.

"No! Absolutely not. That day he said he would hug me one last time and then stop bothering me. I just wanted to get rid of your love rival, so I hugged him... and then I was drugged with a sleeping pill."

When Xun Ting was questioned by the villain, he immediately lost all his backbone and confessed everything.

It seems that only being single can save your life.

"He's worthy of being my rival in love?"

"He's not worthy. How could he possibly be compared to you?" Xun Ting flattered and echoed.

"Try hugging another man next time."

Xun Ting couldn't wait to speak: "There won't be a next time, I promise!"

"Okay, good boy." Huo Lin smiled with satisfaction and continued driving with his gaze fixed on the road ahead.

Looking up, all one could see was the man's slightly upturned lips, his smile exceptionally sweet, making one's heart flutter and prompting a few more glances.

The man's sharply defined features were stunning, as if sculpted by heaven.

A phrase suddenly popped into Xun Ting's mind: "God has blessed him with talent."

Huo Family Villa

Huo Lin drove the car directly to the parking lot, got out, and went around to the other side to open the car door for the woman.

As Xun Ting got out of the car, the more she looked at the villain, the more pleasing he seemed. Apart from his bad temper, he was perfect in every way. How could anyone not love a husband like that!

They have arrived home safely, but Assistant Jiang, Assistant Gu, and Lin Qingyan's team are frantically searching for them.

Huo Lin noticed as she walked over that Lin Qingbai was about to serve her food. "Are you hungry?"

Are you hungry?

"Wait here." Huo Lin rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen.

Xun Ting waited obediently outside, her gaze fixed on the busy figure in the kitchen.

The villain can cook?

The figure that soon emerged from the kitchen confirmed his suspicions: the villain knew how to make noodles.

The noodles were placed on the dining table. She smelled them; the aroma was mild, but they looked quite good. She took a small bite, and it was delicious!

She glanced up at the man opposite her and exclaimed, "Delicious!"

"Let me try it." Huo Lin's deep eyes fell on the chopsticks she had used.

"Go get another pair of chopsticks." Xun Ting didn't understand what the man meant at all.

"Use yours."

Xun Ting was stunned. Was it appropriate to share a pair of chopsticks?

Before she could react, the man had already taken her hand, fed her the food, chewed it, and praised, "Delicious."
