[Chapter 265 Huo Nian Vomits Blood]
Xu Lan heard the voice, turned around and looked at Huo Jingze, and said indifferently: "I just ate some dessert, Jingze, you won't mind, right?"
Huo Jingze: "Mind."
His answer made Xu Lan stunned. A look of embarrassment flashed across her face. She said unhappily, "You are unhappy after eating a little of your dessert. It's really a waste of your aunt's love for you."
Huo Jingze's eyes fell on the half-eaten dessert, and he looked visibly unhappy. "If you want to eat it, just tell the servants to make it again. I asked someone to prepare this specially for Lin Yin, and you shouldn't touch it."
Xu Lan snorted coldly: "Just a woman, is it worth your attention? I am your aunt, am I not as good as her?"
Huo Jingze frowned, his tone even colder: "Aunt, this is not a question of who is more important than who. This is a question of personal cultivation and quality. Do you understand?"
Isn't this just saying that Xu Lan has no quality and cultivation!
She was not born a rich lady. She was once a child of an ordinary family, but was fortunate to be adopted by the Xu family. But no matter what, she could never compare to the nobility in Xu Yilian's bones. Whenever she attended a banquet, there would always be people who would deliberately buzz her behind her back, saying that a sparrow can never grow into a phoenix even if it flies to a branch, and they would also mock her etiquette.
So she hates it most when people say that she has no quality and accomplishment.
Xu Lan pointed at Huo Jingze's face, her chest heaving with anger: "Okay, now you're saying this to me for an outsider?"
Huo Jingze did not have much affection for this cheap aunt, and Xu Lan did not love him as much as she said. She was just extra gentle to him when she needed resources from the Xu and Huo families.
His expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "Forget it this time. I hope my aunt will learn a lesson and remember that you need to ask for permission before touching other people's things. Taking things without asking is stealing. It doesn't have any impact in the Huo family, but you have to change this habit in other people's homes."
Huo Jingze was so vicious that Lin Yin couldn't help but look at him, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
“You, you…”
Xu Lan was almost mad, her face flushed red, and her finger pointed at Huo Jingze and then at Lin Yin's face.
Knowing that he could not win the argument with Huo Jingze, who used to be a lawyer, he glared at both of them angrily and left in a rage.
Lin Yin looked at the man's strong jaw and said with some concern: "Will she go to your father or your uncle to complain?"
Huo Jingze first asked the servants to remove the leftover desserts and serve a new one.
Then he lowered his head, his gentle eyes fell on Lin Yin's face, "Let her sue, even if she calls my father here, so what? As for my grandfather, it's good enough that he doesn't scold her."
Originally, Xu Lan was in the wrong, and Xu Zhengguo was not Huo Qingyun. The old man was very good at distinguishing right from wrong, so he naturally knew whose fault it was.
Lin Yin was relieved and nodded, "That's good."
"Let's go for a walk first. By the time we're done, dessert should be ready."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yin's hand was held by him, and his fingers slipped into the gaps between their fingers and clasped them tightly.
…
When I came back from shopping, I happened to see the servants putting desserts and milk tea on the table.
Huo Jingze pulled out a chair and sat down, pressing Lin Yin's shoulder.
He was about to sit opposite her when a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Master, Miss Yirou is looking for you."
Huo Jingze turned around and saw Jiang Yirou walking out from behind the servant with a faint smile on her face, "Brother Huo, I came to see Nian Nian. The servant said she was resting, so I came to see you."
Jiang Yirou seemed a little surprised to see Lin Yin sitting at the table. "Lin Yin is here too. Are you having afternoon tea?"
She walked to the table and her eyes lit up when she saw the egg tarts. "I like egg tarts the most. Can you share some with me?"
Now that they are here, we can’t chase them away.
Lin Yin couldn't refuse, so she curled her lips and said, "Of course, please take a seat."
"Thanks."
Jiang Yirou picked up an egg tart, took a bite, and her eyes lit up, "It's delicious! Brother Huo, try it."
She handed the bitten egg tart to Huo Jingze's mouth.
Huo Jingze frowned.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I just can't get over it right away."
Jiang Yirou took back the egg tart and looked at Lin Yin embarrassedly, "Don't mind it."
Lin Yin took a sip of milk tea, her lips curved in a smile, "Two years have passed, and Miss Jiang still hasn't changed her habits. It seems that habits are really hard to change."
Jiang Yirou smiled faintly and said, "Yes, some habits are ingrained in our bones and blood, and are difficult to change."
Lin Yin smiled but did not answer, lowering her head to eat the cake.
The atmosphere of this afternoon tea was indescribably weird because of one more person. No one spoke until the end.
During this time, Huo Jingze kept looking at Lin Yin, who was concentrating on eating dessert and completely ignored him.
He rubbed her calf under the table calmly.
Lin Yin stepped on his foot directly, as if in anger, and crushed it twice.
Huo Jingze: “…”
After Jiang Yirou left the small garden, the man stood up and walked around behind Lin Yin, picked her up, turned her around, and sat her on his lap.
Lin Yin turned her face away and didn't look at him, her cheeks puffed up like a dolphin.
Huo Jingze stretched out his hand and poked, "Are you angry?"
Lin Yin said in a muffled voice: "No!"
"Really? Then why is your face so puffy?" Huo Jingze poked it twice more, and as if he found it fun, he pinched it.
Lin Yin became even angrier and glared at him with her beautiful eyes, "Why are you poking me? You should go poke your ex-girlfriend."
Huo Jingze held her little face, nose close to hers, mouth curved in an evil way, "I just want to poke you, whether it's your face or somewhere else."
Lin Yin pounded his chest angrily. She was so angry but he didn't try to comfort her and even had the mind to say dirty words.
This big bastard!
"Be good, I've never eaten what she's eaten." Huo Jingze grabbed her little hand, put it to his mouth and kissed it, "I've only eaten what you left over."
Lin Yin's expression improved a little, but her cheeks were still puffy. "Why did she say that? She was trying to make me angry."
Huo Jingze was not stupid, so he could naturally feel that although Jiang Yirou said that she had let it go, she actually still had feelings for her.
His heart belongs to someone else, and he has no right to interfere.
The only thing he can control is who his heart is with.
He placed Lin Yin's hand on his chest, and he could feel the strongly beating heart beneath his chest through his sweater.
She blinked, looking puzzled, "What?"
Huo Jingze touched her face, gently stroking her delicate skin with his fingertips, "I can't control whether others are attracted to me, but my heart will always beat only for you."
"Why are you suddenly so cheesy?" Although Lin Yin spoke with disgust, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Huo Jingze pointed at her heart, his clear voice full of possessiveness, "Your heart can only be mine."
"I know!"
Lin Yin snuggled into his arms, her cheek against his strong chest, feeling a sweet feeling in her heart.
Soon, the tranquility in the small garden was broken.
The servant came running over and shouted anxiously:
"Master, Miss Lin, something terrible has happened. Miss Lin suddenly vomited blood!"
