Upon hearing Su Qingqing's name, a strange emotion flashed quickly across the depths of Huo Xiting's eyes.
"what is going on?"
His tone was somber.
Jiang Wen was about to speak when Su Yaoyao subtly tugged at her arm and gently shook her head.
"There was a minor disagreement over something trivial, but it's nothing serious."
Knowing she didn't want to talk about it, Huo Xiting didn't press her, but instead asked her with concern.
"Get in the car, I have some medicine in my car, I can take care of it for you."
Seeing Huo Xiting's posture, Jiang Wen's eyes flashed with amusement, and he then spoke.
"Um, I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
Just as Su Yaoyao was thinking about how to refuse Huo Xiting, all she could see after that was Jiang Wen's dashing departure. She suddenly felt an itch in her teeth, an urge to bite someone…
Huo Xiting watched Jiang Wen's retreating figure and narrowed his eyes; "I didn't expect that Yao Yao and Miss Jiang have such a good relationship."
Su Yaoyao smiled somewhat awkwardly; "We met by chance."
With a smile on his handsome and refined face, Huo Xiting didn't ask any further questions, but instead said...
"Let's go, get in the car, I'll apply the medicine for you."
As he spoke, he had already opened the car door, making it impossible for Su Yaoyao to refuse.
After getting in the car, Huo Xiting moved it to a different position and parked it properly.
He unbuckled his seatbelt, his tall frame radiating intense heat, and suddenly stood up, moving closer to Su Yaoyao.
Suddenly, his handsome features loomed large before her eyes, and Su Yaoyao's heart skipped a beat.
"Huo Xiting, what are you doing?"
The wary tone made Huo Xiting stiffen slightly, but he reacted in an instant and chuckled.
"I'm just getting my medicine, why are you so nervous?"
After saying that, he reached out and opened a hidden compartment next to Su Yaoyao's knee, and took out a tube of ointment.
So that's how it is...
Su Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little apologetic.
"Um, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Huo Xiting squeezed the ointment onto a cotton swab and glanced at her upon hearing this.
"It's not your fault. Girls are bound to be more wary when they're alone with a man who's eyeing them all day."
Su Yaoyao: "..."
She pursed her lips, about to speak, when Huo Xiting interrupted her.
"Reach out your hand."
"I can do it myself."
Huo Xiting smiled gently; "Hurry up, or I'll have to do it myself."
Although he was smiling, there wasn't a trace of a joke in his tone.
Su Yaoyao sighed inwardly and obediently stretched out her hand.
The ointment felt cool and refreshing when applied, and the burning sensation disappeared instantly.
Su Yaoyao looked up at the man.
He lowered his head, and from Su Yaoyao's angle, all she could see was his high nose bridge, his fair skin so delicate that you could almost see the pores, and his thick, curled eyelashes.
Huo Xiting moved with care and gentleness, as if he were afraid of hurting her, as if he were repairing the most precious treasure in the world.
For a moment, Su Yaoyao wondered if she had made a mistake...
Why would he approach me with an ulterior motive?
Even if that were the case, how could his purpose be a conspiracy to harm her?
After applying the medicine, Huo Xiting noticed she was still in a daze, so he couldn't help but wave his hand in front of her eyes.
"Am I pretty?"
As if possessed, Su Yaoyao said "It looks good."
When the man's laughter started, Su Yaoyao realized what she had said and wished she could bite her tongue off!
"Thank you for the compliment, Yaoyao. You are very beautiful too."
Su Yaoyao blushed and remained silent, creating an awkward atmosphere.
Huo Xiting, on the other hand, acted quite naturally and said he would take Su Yaoyao out to eat.
Su Yaoyao wanted to refuse, but Huo Xiting said that he had already made reservations at the restaurant and she felt bad refusing his kind offer, so Su Yaoyao went anyway.
They arrived at the restaurant quickly. Because it was a private room, the food was served faster than in other rooms. So, after the two ordered, there was a knock on the door of the room.
Huo Xiting personally poured Su Yaoyao a glass of lemon honey water and said calmly towards the door, "Please come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burly waiter in uniform pushed in a special food cart.
"Sir, Madam, the food is ready."
He was wearing a mask and hat, so his face couldn't be seen, but Su Yaoyao noticed his eyes.
Su Yaoyao frowned, feeling as if she had seen this man somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place where.
The waiter seemed oblivious to Su Yaoyao's gaze, and obediently placed various colorful, fragrant, and delicious dishes on the table.
Huo Xiting noticed that Su Yaoyao kept staring at the waiter, and her face showed some displeasure.
"Yaoyao, what are you looking at?"
Su Yaoyao frowned, then smiled slightly upon hearing this; "This young man looks familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before."
The waiter paused slightly in his work; "Miss, you're too kind. I'm just an ordinary working person, how could I possibly have any dealings with you?"
Huo Xiting noticed Su Yaoyao's unusual behavior and said calmly, "Since Yaoyao says you look familiar, why don't you take off your mask and let Yaoyao see you?"
The waiter's eyes narrowed slightly, a fleeting hint of guilt flashing across his face.
Su Yaoyao narrowed her eyes, revealing a hint of danger, and she bore a striking resemblance to Yu Chiyan.
"Is it inconvenient?"
The waiter lowered his voice and said somewhat heavily, "No, there's one last dish. I'll serve it first. If you still want to see more, I can take off my mask later."
