She got up and slowly walked to the windowsill, looking down from above. "Miss Iris, leave. The Huo mansion is not a place for you to stay."
Chu Yuan stopped in her tracks, raised her head slightly, and met Huo Wu's gaze with her clear and bright eyes.
She didn't speak, but her eyes clearly conveyed her meaning.
Why should I leave?
Huo Wu shifted her position on the windowsill, her wide red sleeves swirling in a beautiful arc. "Believe me, I mean well. Here..."
She raised her chin slightly and looked around, her gaze unfocused and lost. "The Huo family mansion is a hell. Huo Jin is like a demon; you can't handle him."
Chu Yuan pondered the deeper meaning in her words.
After a moment, he slowly grinned and smiled brightly, "No need for Miss Huowu to worry. I'm afraid of many things, but I'm not really afraid of ghosts."
What is she afraid of? She herself is a ghost!
Besides, what kind of demon is Huo Jin? As long as he doesn't lay a hand on her, what does it matter if he kills everyone in the world? What does that have to do with her?
She doesn't need to be like Huo Wu, trying to have her cake and eat it too!
I really hate Huo Jin. Why can't she think straight? Shouldn't she have had a million ways to escape?
Now, he acts like the mistress of the house, wanting to get rid of her, but he doesn't say it directly. His roundabout way of doing things is annoying.
Chu Yuan didn't even turn her head. She came with such ease and left with such nonchalance.
She wasn't in a hurry before, but now that things have come to this, shouldn't she hurry up and make it a done deal?
But ever since that day, whenever Huo Jin returned to the manor, Huo Wu would use all sorts of excuses to ask him to leave.
As soon as Chu Yuan heard that Huo Jin was in the study, she wanted to go and test him to see if he suspected anything about the terrain of Longyin Temple and Houting Nunnery. As soon as she arrived, the little actress rushed in with her head down and said, "Lord Eunuch, Sister Huo Wu said that her stomach is not feeling well. She may have eaten something wrong. Please go and take a look."
Huo Jin stood up and glanced at Chu Yuan. "We'll talk about your matter when I get back."
Chu Yuan knew it wouldn't be easy for him to come back, but she didn't want to do anything as mysterious as Huo Wu, so she calmly nodded and asked, "If the Admiral is busy, may I read some books in the study by myself? I'm quite bored eating and sleeping all day in the mansion. I'd like to find some books to read."
Huo Jin: "Do you want me to find one for you?"
"No need, Admiral, why don't you go see Fire Dance? Isn't she in a hurry?"
"If you don't court death, you won't die." Despite Huo Wu's behavior, Chu Yuan wasn't jealous. She smiled and generously made way for Huo Jin.
Whether he takes action or not, a quick search of the study will always leave traces.
If Huo Wu could have a reason to call him away ten times, a hundred times, what about a thousand times, ten thousand times?
Huo Jin wasn't stupid.
