Huo Yanting felt a sudden, inexplicable pain in his heart. Perhaps he had really made a mistake today.
This was not Su Miao's fault at all, so why should he punish her? And Su Miao knew nothing about it.
It was his jealousy that was causing this; he wished he could kill the man who had touched Su Miao's hand!
Huo Yanting stood at the window for a long time, and did not leave even after he saw Su Miao return to the villa.
He turned around and went to the computer, opened the surveillance footage that Fang Cheng had sent him earlier, and started watching it.
That man was clearly doing it on purpose, and his subsequent meeting with Yuan Chengyan showed he had an ulterior motive.
But whatever his purpose, he would not let him succeed. Yuan Chengyan would not appear in Haicheng tomorrow.
Huo Yanting turned off the computer and then got up and went back to his bedroom.
He saw the mound of flesh rising high in the blankets and felt a pang of guilt. He walked to the bedside, stood there for a long time, then lifted the blankets, lay down, and hugged Su Miao from behind. His voice was deep and magnetic, "I was wrong today, and I apologize to you."
Su Miao wasn't actually asleep; she had woken up when Huo Yanting entered the room, but she didn't want to face him, so she pretended to be asleep.
But she didn't expect that Huo Yanting would actually... apologize to her?
Su Miao heard it, but she didn't move or respond to Huo Yanting.
Huo Yanting continued, "I know you met a man today and you were quite intimate with him."
Su Miao became agitated and suddenly opened her eyes. "That wasn't my intention. I didn't know he would treat me like that. I was trying my best to pull my hand away."
Hearing Su Miao's earnest explanation, a smile flashed in Huo Yanting's eyes. He tightened his grip on Su Miao's arm and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, I know."
"You knew that, yet you still treated me like that!" Su Miao accused angrily, she was in so much pain right now.
"I'm sorry, I just couldn't control myself. When I saw someone touching you inappropriately, I just wanted to..." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Huo Yanting's eyes.
Seeing this, Su Miao quickly asked, "What do you want to do? Are you going to deal with him?"
"He shouldn't have had any inappropriate thoughts about you. Isn't it normal for me to deal with him?" Huo Yanting didn't think he could be so unapproachable towards Xiang Jianqin.
"He..." Actually, he didn't do anything to her, did he? Su Miao didn't want Huo Yanting to deal with him because of this.
After all, it wasn't easy for Xiang Jianqin either.
"Can you... let him go?" Su Miao's tone carried a hint of pleading.
"Why?" Huo Yanting looked down at her.
“He… was once my classmate in high school. He studied very hard, hoping to make something of himself someday. I don’t want you to go against him because of me. He… has had a tough time too.”
It's too cruel to ruin Xiang Jianqin over such a small matter.
"He's had a tough time. What if he does something even worse to you in the future?" Huo Yanting's voice suddenly faltered. That man should be thankful that he didn't do anything too outrageous to Su Miao this time, otherwise, he wouldn't have just let him lose his job.
He'll have even crueler ways to deal with him!
"He won't, you believe me. Besides, I won't let him do anything excessive to me." Su Miao felt that Xiang Jianqin's behavior today was somewhat sudden. She didn't think Xiang Jianqin would be interested in her, and she would protect herself better in the future.
"I trust you, but how can I trust you?"
"...Then what do you want me to do to make you believe me?" Su Miao asked, her eyes full of innocent light.
