[Chapter 276: The Best in the World]
Wen Qingbai leaned against the sofa, looking somewhat helpless, "Do you think I can not complete the task assigned by my parents?"
If he refuses, there will be a big fuss at home, especially his mother, who will cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to commit suicide. It's really unbearable.
Last time he tentatively mentioned the matter of canceling the engagement, and the next day all his aunts and uncles came to his house to persuade him.
That scene... I really don't want to experience it again. I feel like my ears are going to go deaf.
Wen Qingbai felt annoyed and took a sip of wine.
Seeing his friend like this, Huo Jingze couldn't help but ask, "You don't have any feelings for Guan Xiaoxiao at all?"
Wen Qingbai did not answer, but his eyes turned to the woman who was smiling sweetly in the crowd.
That baby face was whiter than snow, very delicate and incredibly beautiful.
When she smiles, her eyebrows and eyes are curved, which is particularly pleasing.
To be honest, Guan Xiaoxiao actually suits his aesthetic taste, has a good personality, and is generous and unpretentious.
It’s just a pity that she happened to be a marriage partner.
He hates having his life controlled by others.
So the aesthetic point of view does not prevent him from not wanting to have any result with Guan Xiaoxiao.
As a man, Huo Jingze understood the meaning of his silence and raised his eyebrows.
"If you really like her a little bit, cherish her and don't think too much. Otherwise, don't cry when you end up destroying her."
Wen Qingbai glared at him and said stubbornly, "Who told you that I like her? I have no interest in her at all."
"Really?" Huo Jingze picked up a glass of wine, his voice tinged with sarcasm.
"I will never marry her. What era is still full of arranged marriages? I want free love and to break free from feudal remnants!"
Wen Qingbai took another sip of wine and set a goal.
Huo Jingze chuckled silently and said nothing more. Feelings were something that outsiders could not interfere with. The people involved had to experience the ups and downs of life themselves before they could understand what they really wanted.
On the sofa opposite, Lin Yin and Guan Xiaoxiao sat together, eating and chatting.
The two are now good friends, and Lin Yin couldn't help but complain to Guan Xiaoxiao about what happened when buying gifts.
After hearing this, Guan Xiaoxiao immediately became unhappy and complained: "I said that Jiang Yirou is not a good woman. She is just a green lotus. It's disgusting."
"Green lotus?" Lin Yin didn't understand what it meant.
"Green tea plus white lotus, isn't it just a blooming green lotus?" Guan Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue. "I've seen a lot of women like this. On the surface, they seem to be considerate and angelic, but in fact, every word they say is like a knife stabbing others. However, this kind of people usually don't do it themselves, they like to kill people with borrowed knives."
To others, killing someone might sound like a joke, but to Lin Yin, it really made him feel nauseous.
Killing with a borrowed knife... Wasn't Jiang Shu killed by Jiang Yirou using the knife from Lolita Island?
Who will be the next one...
Lin Yin raised her eyes and looked straight at the sofa opposite. Huo Jingze had been looking at her, and their eyes met unexpectedly in the air.
Even though they were several meters apart, Huo Jingze still keenly caught the flash of panic in Lin Yin's eyes.
What's wrong with her?
Huo Jingze subconsciously stood up, walked to Lin Yin, bent down slightly, and said in a low and gentle voice: "Lin Yin, what happened?"
Lin Yin subconsciously avoided his gaze, her lips trembling slightly: "Nothing... nothing."
Huo Jingze frowned slightly, obviously not believing her answer. He pulled her up from the sofa and took her hand to the bathroom.
Pushing the man against the wall, Huo Jingze moved closer to Lin Yin, staring at her with his dark eyes, "What were you talking about with Guan Xiaoxiao just now?"
Lin Yin pursed her lips: "Nothing to talk about."
"Tell the truth." Huo Jingze lifted her chin and let her look into his eyes. "Don't always hide things from me. I'm your man. You can tell me anything. If you can't solve it, I will help you."
"…It's nothing really, just complaining about what happened at the mall today."
"What's up?"
Lin Yin lowered her eyes and briefly talked about Jiang Yirou's fall and how Lan Weiyu hated her.
"I really didn't use any force. Who knew Jiang Yirou would fall and even sprain her foot." How could she not feel aggrieved after being misunderstood?
The person who misunderstood her was Mrs. Jiang, whom she liked very much.
Huo Jingze's eyes darkened, he raised his hand and rubbed her hair, comforting her: "The Jiang family is very protective of their children. Aunt Lan must love her daughter so much that... Don't worry about it, just don't have any contact with her in the future."
Lin Yin looked up at him and bit her lip. "I don't know why, but I always feel like Jiang Yirou doesn't like me interacting with the Jiang family, especially Madam Jiang."
She had been misunderstood by Mrs. Jiang twice, and each time it was related to Jiang Yirou.
Why is that?
She actually guessed, could she be from the Jiang family? Jiang Yirou didn't want her to be recognized, so she did that to make Mrs. Jiang hate her.
But think about it, it's impossible. There are only two missing daughters in the Jiang family. Jiang Shu has passed away, and Jiang Yu has returned to her ancestral home. How could she be involved?
Maybe Jiang Yirou simply didn't want her to have any contact with the Jiang family.
Huo Jingze didn't want to see her feeling aggrieved and unhappy, so he bent down and kissed her forehead.
"Don't think too much. If you really like Aunt Lan, I'll take you to visit the Jiang family some other day and clear up the misunderstanding."
Lin Yin shook her head. "Forget it. I don't want to put my warm face on someone else's cold butt."
"Then don't stick to me." Huo Jingze hugged her in his arms, resting his chin on her hair. "Just be yourself. You don't have to please anyone. If others misunderstand you, it's because they are stupid and have no vision."
His mindless praise made Lin Yin laugh and she felt warm inside.
"If you praise me like that, I'll be flattered. It's not that good."
She has a clear understanding of herself, that she is just an ordinary citizen.
Huo Jingze held her hips and carried her to sit on the sink, looking at her with a smile in his black eyes.
"In my heart, you are the best."
Lin Yin's face turned red from his praise. She leaned forward to hug him shyly, and put her red lips against his ear, saying softly, "In my heart, you are the best in the world."
Huo Jingze calmly accepted the compliments from his girlfriend. He rubbed his girlfriend's fair neck with the tip of his nose, then began to kiss along her neck, holding the bright and juicy earlobe in his mouth and gently biting it with his teeth.
It was as if an electric current was transmitted from the earlobe to the whole body. The strange feeling of warmth and itchiness made Lin Yin's body go limp.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say that this was the bathroom and there were a lot of people in the box outside, so don't kiss her.
Before she could finish her words, her rosy lips were blocked and her voice turned into a fragmented whimper.
After the passionate kiss, Lin Yin fell softly into the man's arms. It took her a long time to recover, and the man held her waist as she walked out.
Guan Xiaoxiao saw that Lin Yin's lips were rosy and her face was flushed, as if she had just been moisturized, and her eyes were very ambiguous.
At the same time, he secretly glanced at Wen Qingbai beside him, and felt a little lost in his heart.
Unfortunately, Wen Qingbai was too much of a Liu Xiahui and never wanted to be intimate with her.
She couldn't act too hungry, or else he'd be scared away.
