Chapter 844 Self-Salvation
"Did he make things difficult for Lin Tan?" Qin Mo asked after a moment of silence.
"I'm not trying to make things difficult for you." Qin Jiangye was thinking about the meal and told him the truth, while also reminding him, "It's just to let everyone know that he likes her. If you keep hiding it like this, even if you win her over in the future, she won't believe it."
If Huo Si Nian continues on this trend...
Before long, everyone who knows him will know that he is in love with Lin Tan.
He is now in charge of the Huo family and the Huo Group, and compared to Qin Mo's various obstacles, he can be said to face no obstacles at all.
This is the situation.
Chasing someone is so easy.
"What are you doing now?" Qin Mo asked.
"Just finished eating, having some fun." Qin Jiangye seemed quite relaxed, glancing towards Lin Tan. "You're going to be with Lin Tan..."
The conversation ended there.
He looked around but didn't see anyone.
"What's wrong?" Qin Mo asked.
"Lin Tan is gone." Qin Jiangye stood up and looked around, but couldn't see a single person.
Qin Mo hung up the phone.
He immediately called Lin Tan.
Qin Jiangye also sent Lin Tan a message: 【Where are you?】
——
At this moment, Lin Tan was taken to the bed in the suite upstairs by Huo Sinian through various means.
My head was spinning, my limbs felt weak, and I had no strength at all.
Seeing Qin Mo's call, Huo Sinian's lips curled slightly. He held the phone up to Lin Tan and said, "It seems Qin Mo really cares about you."
Lin Tan frowned deeply.
She was already being very careful.
She didn't drink the beverage that was out of sight, nor did she touch the wine offered to her by others.
But she only went to the restroom and suddenly felt like she had low blood sugar. Her vision went black and her body felt weak. Before she could even send a message to Qin Jiangye with trembling hands, Huo Sinian appeared.
He picked her up and brought her here, and several minutes passed, but her condition only improved slightly.
"Should I answer or not?" Huo Sinian asked, his hand resting on the phone she hadn't yet answered.
"What do you want to do?" Lin Tan asked warily.
Huo Sinian did not answer.
I hung up on her immediately.
He took her weak hand and unlocked the door with his fingerprint.
She opened Qin Mo's chat and sent him a message: "I'm in the bathroom, I'll call you back later."
Qin Jiangye also sent a message.
He also used the bathroom as an excuse.
Qin Mo replied almost instantly: 【That's good.】
Qin Mo: [Did Huo Sinian make things difficult for you?]
Huo Sinian's fingertips twitched slightly: 【No.】
Qin Mo: [I will handle everything as soon as possible so that there are no obstacles in our future.]
Huo Si smiled.
He adjusted his glasses and replied slowly, "I will try my best."
Qin Mo replied with an "Mm".
Chat ended.
Huo Sinian placed the chat history in front of Lin Tan: "Doesn't my tone sound a lot like yours?"
Lin Tan looked up.
They're not just similar, they're practically identical.
"What exactly do you want?" Lin Tan looked at him with a little strength that had recovered, her face pale. "If the boss finds that I'm not around for a long time, even if you reply to his messages, he will still become suspicious."
"Are you telling me to finish this quickly?" Huo Sinian came to the bedside and leaned down slightly.
Lin Tan's heart clenched.
A sense of fear rose within me.
She knew Huo Sinian was capable of doing it.
She also knew that since he had brought her here, he had probably arranged everything.
"I didn't want to treat you like this, but you made me very angry today." Huo Sinian stroked her chin with his fingertips as he spoke, his voice soft and magnetic, "You accepted the ring but don't acknowledge my identity. What kind of logic is that?"
“I wanted to return it to you, but you left too quickly,” Lin Tan explained.
Whether before or after opening the package, she never considered accepting his things.
Huo Sinian: "Is that so?"
Lin Tan was still somewhat hesitant and powerless: "If you don't believe me, you can take my bag. All the things you gave me are in there. I was planning to return them to you today anyway."
"Are you in such a hurry to distance yourself from me?" Huo Sinian gradually tightened his grip.
Lin Tan's chin hurt.
Huo Sinian lowered his voice and continued, "I've said it before, you'll never get rid of me in this lifetime without my permission."
After saying that, he covered her with his body, his slightly cool lips kissed her, and his familiar, refreshing breath sprayed into Lin Tan's nose. His hand slipped inside her slender waist.
The moment the warm, rough fingertips touched her skin, Lin Tan felt a chill run down her spine.
"Hmm..."
Lin Tan struggled with all her might.
Unfortunately, my hands and feet were too weak to exert any strength.
"What exactly did you do to me?" she asked him, turning her face away.
"I just added something harmless to your drink," Huo Sinian said.
Lin Tan frowned: "When did it land?"
Huo Sinian: "When you drank your first beverage."
Lin Tan tried to recall.
But Huo Sinian's kiss interrupted her.
He used more force than before, pinning her hand above her head with one hand to stop her from moving around. As the kiss deepened, his hand became increasingly restless.
The moment he unbuttoned her pants.
Lin Tan panicked: "Huo Sinian, you can't do this!"
"Not calling me President Huo anymore?" Huo Sinian didn't stop. Because of the close physical contact between them, his voice was a bit lower and hoarse than before. "Do you know you were wrong?"
What did she do wrong?
Lin Tan's first reaction was to ask this question.
But she understood Huo Sinian; the years she spent by his side made her clear about his personality.
If she really said that, he would only escalate his behavior further.
"I know I was wrong." She went along with his words, hoping to make him stop.
Huo Sinian looked down at her, the distance between them almost negligible: "Where did I go wrong?"
Lin Tan pursed her lips.
I just couldn't bring myself to say those insincere words that were on the tip of my tongue.
But her physical weakness and the situation she was in made her clear about the consequences of not speaking out.
"Hmm?" Huo Sinian asked in a low voice.
Lin Tan: "I shouldn't have called you President Huo at the table."
Huo Sinian: "Anything else?"
Lin Tan: "I shouldn't have remained silent when you said we were engaged."
Huo Sinian: "Continue."
Lin Tan looked at him.
I don't understand what else is there to say.
“Anything else?” she asked.
Huo Sinian reminded him: "When I said we were engaged, shouldn't you have stood up and admitted it? Shouldn't you have put on the ring I gave you?"
Lin Tan continued to endure: "Yes."
Nobody knows she's here.
No one knew her situation.
All she could do was save herself.
"How should you introduce me next time?" Huo Sinian looked into her eyes and continued to ask.
Lin Tan suppressed her emotions: "Fiancé."
A smile immediately appeared in Huo Sinian's eyes, and his voice became even gentler than usual: "Where is Qin Mo?"
Lin Tan pursed her lips.
Huo Sinian: "Hmm?"
Lin Tan: "Friend."
Huo Sinian: "You have a fiancé, how can you still be friends with other people?"
"He helped me a lot." Even if she had to lie to Huo Sinian and deceive him, she didn't want to say anything bad about Qin Mo, nor did she want to sever ties with him.
At least for now.
All she wanted was to work hard and live peacefully until the day she became famous.
Then be with him openly and honestly.
"Help you escape from me? Or help you make things difficult for me?" Huo Sinian reached out and pinched her chin again, his fingertips gently tracing her red lips.
